The sun shone brightly early in the morning, making Ru wake up from the bright light passing through the windows. As his eyes opened, the world around him appeared strangely blurry. Ru had amazing eyesight. It didn't make sense for things to look blurry. He sat up slowly, rubbing his eyes confusedly.
He could feel the pain from yesterday's beating in his back, but it felt bandaged and patched up. He shook his head, trying to bring his vision back, but everything was as blurry as before. He could still see chunks of things, so he paid it no attention and slipped down his bed, only to find Eunuch Yang sleeping soundly on the ground next to the bed.
Ru sighed and stood up, only to sit back down from the dizziness. This wasn't good. At this point, he would miss the morning court assembly. He forced himself to stand, dragging himself to the tea table where the physician had left medicine to eat.
