Now's That The Grand Princess Is Awake

"Th-the... Grand Princess... Ah! Crown prince! Your Majesties and Highnesses, fear not!... It's a miracle! The Heavens gave us a miracle!!!," the thirteen imperial elite physicians exclaimed in happiness.

It made the royalties frowned slightly. It seemed the 13 imperial elite physicians get what the royalties in mind so they made their statement clear.

"Grand princess, is given a second chance to live again! Your majesties and highnesses  her highness is alive!," their eyes were filled with ease sincere happiness and thankfulness.

Everyone teared up.  "Don't you hear that my beloved? Our Xia'er is saved she's alive!"

"Will older sister won't leave Yin'er anymore?," the little princess asked doubtfully.

"Nope I bet she'll leave us anymore!," the second prince answered the little princess' question.

"Wait!," the crown prince suddenly yelled made everyone startled and fixated their attention on his next move.

"If our younger sister is saved and alive... Why she's still in coma?! Look! She looks as pale white as ghost! Are you guys joking with me?!," he rattled in full of worries, anxiety, anger, annoyance and stress, clearly listless while pointing his finger at his younger sister laid in bed.

"No no no... Hear this lowly subject, your royal highness, first...,"the youngest head of the imperial elite physician in the SiJian continent's history named Yao Feng at age 23, explained.

Yao Feng is local citizen Zhilan who's born in Yao Clan, a medical expertise

"Wei'er, the Imperial elite physician head is right. Being hot-tempered won't do any help. Calm down yourself first," the soft reminding voice of his mother died down those unpleasant feelings he felt a little bit.

"Go ahead, I'll give you a permission to continue what you wanted to speak earlier," when the emperor saw that the crown prince already emotionally stable he let Yao Feng.

"The grand princess is fine but still needs to recuperate and slowly nurse her back to her prime health. Oh! But well, it seems that a few more moments the grand princess will wake up soon," Yao Feng explained.

Huh? Alive? Who's alive? The grand princess? Needed to recuperate? I just heard earlier that someone mentioned my name! What is happening?!

"What?! Why are there's so many noise?," Zhi Qeixia slowly opened her eyes. Her long eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly. And tried sitting up. She then touches her heavy head as it stings in so much pain.

"Mo- mother?... Mother?! Are you mother?!," too shocked but certain, Zhi Qeixia, even though her vision is still slightly hazy she can recognize the woman besides her in an instant.

The brown hair was styled with great care donned with gold and red ruby ornaments. Oval shaped face. White smooth, soft and flawless skin. Her soft and gentle looking obsidian colored eyes that Zhi Qeixia slways longing to see. How could she forget them? How could she not recognize them immediately as soon as she laidd her eyes on that woman's face?

Though these features the only person who have such beautiful face. The one that she've been looking and longing to see. That's her mother, Zhao Qiuge.

"Yes, it's mother! Mother is now here!," Empres Zhao immediately replied.

"Xia'er! Thank heavens, you're awake!," Empress Zhao immediately heaved a relieved sigh. Tears welled down from her left eye while she supports her daughter to sits up.

"It's really you, mother? You finally came back?," unbelievable, that's how she felt. Is her eyes playing a trick on her?

Zhi Qeixia rubbed her eyes, wanting to clear her vision to wash her doubts.

How can this be, right? Well... She thought that her mother finally came back home.

"I thought you're gone! You've been chased by some big organization! There's not a piece of news about your location nor the certainty of your current situation!," Zhi Qeixia also cried out with her soft and weak voice.

"Organization? Gone? Not a piece of news about...? But I never leave the palace," utterly confused, Empress Zhao looked at her husband and other children.

Just then, Zhi Qeixia noticed her mother looked at some people who looked so familiar to her.

"Sister?! Are you already discharged from the hospital? Eh?! Why doesn't Chu Hua or Huang Yao even Uncle Ke Dazhi inform me? But anyway, I'm glad that you're already recovered from coma!," suddenly Zhi Qeixia burst for more tears of happiness and relief as she said to those words to the princess.

To the princess who recieved such dumfoundable words from her huangshi jiejie, her mind swirled around.

What does her older sister talking about? What hospital? What in coma? Is her huangshi jiejie kidding with her? Why does she never knew such a thing?

"Eh, wait?! Father? Is that you, father?!," the imposing man behind the princess came to Zhi Qeixia's view.

The guilt- look and pained eyes of the man hit her. No! Don't be like that! Zhi Qeixia thought that it should be her who's feeling of guilt. This man is her father, Zhi Hongjun. The one who meet his end on the bombarded ship.

Wait... died?! Why does they were all feeling down? What happened? Just what in the world happened?!

I... My mind was filled with countless questions along with confusions.

It got her. She... Who knows what she felt? She's overflowing with happiness but not just happiness, that is why she felt too stuffy inside.

I don't want to cry but I still cried. I don't want this feeling but I still felt it. I'm happy but miserable and distressed at the same time.

Tears won't stop running down to her cheeks from her teary eyes. She felt her throat became dry. Her nose seemed to clogged by something deeming her to unable to breathe properly. Its also seemingly sour at the momment. And her chest tightens, squeezing her heart. She's fighting back her urge to hiccup from crying to much.
