Chapter 541: Recuperation
He thought he could sleep till dawn, but unfortunately it didn't take long before Zhou Chang woke up again.
This time it wasn't about breathing, but about the bladder.
"Sir, is there anything you need to do?" Although Mei Sheng lay down on the floor, he seemed to have not fallen asleep for a moment.
Zhou Chang was still embarrassed in the dark, but he had been a man for a long time after all: "I want to relieve myself."
"Oh, yes..." Meisheng immediately got up from the ground and took out a chamber pot from the corner of the bed, "Young Master, please use this."
"Ah, no need to turn on the light." In the darkness, with the moonlight coming in from the window, Zhou Chang could at least see clearly what Mei Sheng was going to do.
Now the two of them were in such a small room together, it was really awkward even though they were both men.
Mei Sheng didn't care, but he didn't light the lamp again. Instead, he brought the chamber pot to Zhou Chang and squatted down personally: "It's okay, sir. When Mei Sheng's father was seriously ill, Mei Sheng served him."
"No, no need, just leave it here." Zhou Chang was even more at a loss.
Mei Sheng didn't force it, so he put it down as he was told and then moved to the end of the bed.
After a long while, there was still no movement from Zhou Chang.
Mei Sheng just realized: "Ah..., yes, Master, Mei Sheng will go out for a while."
After saying that, he picked up the coat he had taken off aside and put it on, then opened the bolt and hid away.
Although Zhou Chang felt bad, there was really nothing he could do. Not to mention that Mei Sheng was present, there was no way he could solve the problem.
Zhou Chang finished it hurriedly. He didn't have to wait for a moment before Mei Sheng pushed the door open again. Without saying a word, he took the chamber pot out in the dark.
When he came back after a while, he placed the chamber pot, which had been rinsed with water, next to Zhou Chang's bed.
During the whole process, no word was spoken.
Zhou Chang also avoided a lot of embarrassment, but he felt even more guilty. Mei Sheng was such an honest person, but he wanted to do such a thing for him. He didn't know how to repay him in the future.
Afterwards, Zhou Chang lay down again, and Mei Sheng also lay on the floor with his clothes on.
Zhou Chang was unable to fall asleep after all this trouble. Thinking of Mei Sheng's appearance just now, he casually found a topic to ease the atmosphere: "Mei Sheng? Do you still remember Wen Fei, the top candidate in your *** exam?"
Mei Sheng replied softly in the darkness: "Of course I know. The top scholar has the reputation of 'the flawless prince'. Why did Your Highness suddenly mention him?"
"Have you seen him in person?" Zhou Chang asked again.
Mei Sheng shook his head in the dark: "No."
Then we can't continue chatting today.
Zhou Chang's subtext was to ask, if Mei Sheng thinks Yi Wang Fengming is good-looking, then how does he compare to Wen Qingyan?
But since Mei Sheng had never met Wen Qingyan, he could only say, "Then I'll let you meet him if there's a chance."
"Yeah." Mei Sheng responded lightly, but he seemed uninterested.
Since there is nothing to talk about, the only thing to do is to go to sleep.
In the next few days, Zhou Chang continued to take medicine to nourish his body.
Mei Sheng was asked to go out and find Yuan's shop to pass on the message.
Mei Sheng went as he was told, and when he came back he brought some snacks and pears that he thought Prince Yi would like.
Zhou Chang's body had not yet recovered. Although he had stopped having fever on the third day after waking up, he still had no strength to move. "Is there no news from outside looking for me?"
Mei Sheng lowered his eyes and shook his head.
Zhou Chang had already changed back into his own clothes and was sitting on the bed. The longer he waited, the more anxious he became. "Did you find a store with the word 'Long' or 'Yu' in its name? It would be best if it was a bank, as they are more reliable."
"Yes..." Meisheng's voice became increasingly low as he handed the pear and sugar cake he had just brought back to Zhou Chang. "Sir, this sugar cake is fresh out of the pot. You can try it while it's still hot. It should be edible. Meisheng didn't find any kumquats, so only this pear looks edible. You can try it too. It can at least moisten your throat."
Zhou Chang took it, but was in no mood to eat it.
I don’t know how many days it has been delayed. I’m sure Gao Yuan and Shouhou must be very anxious.
And Yuan Qi, is she worried about me too?
Seeing Zhou Chang only holding the cake without eating it, Meisheng bit his lower lip and said, "Your Highness, it may not be a good idea for you to go back now. There are too many people and you will be entangled with official business. Although this inn is simple, it is quiet and has few people. If your Highness needs anything, Meisheng will do his best to buy it for you. Your Highness, just rest and recuperate for two more days. When you are well again, Meisheng will accompany you into the city."
Mei Sheng was right. Although the inn was simple, he really took care of me meticulously, even a little too much.
Last night, Zhou Chang's fever subsided and he wanted to go out for a walk, but Mei Sheng stopped him because he was afraid of catching a cold.
This morning, Zhou Chang wanted to go out of the house in person to inquire about the situation, but Mei Sheng was afraid that her identity would be exposed.
Zhou Chang stayed in the inn for three or four days, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in the house.
Even things like emptying the chamber pot and toilet were done by Mei Sheng himself, without showing the slightest disdain.
There were two times when the waiter came to deliver food. Meisheng knew that Zhou Chang didn't like seeing strangers, so he just took the food at the door and didn't let the waiter in.
Therefore, although the inn was simple, Zhou Chang did not feel uncomfortable at all. He even felt that Mei Sheng's service was more gentle and considerate than when the skinny monkey was serving him.
Zhou Changbai had lived there for many days, and he had many concerns in his heart: "Mr. Mei, do you have enough money?"
"That's enough. Princess, don't worry. Just take care of yourself." Mei Sheng smiled, and his two dimples were like two blooming plum blossoms. He took out a small knife from his bag and started peeling pears.
Mei Sheng is really pretty, Zhou Chang believes so from the bottom of his heart, but sometimes the way he looks at her, or more precisely the way he looks at Prince Yi, is too admiring, which adds to the pressure.
I guess it’s because I’ve never met Wen Qingyan.
Zhou Chang secretly made up his mind that he must let Mei Sheng meet Wen Qingyan.
Next, since he was stuck in the room, Zhou Chang obediently ate the sugar cakes and pears, and drank the last dose of medicine in the evening.
As usual, Meisheng stayed at the head of the bed for a while before going to sleep on the floor at the foot of the bed.
Zhou Chang was simply moved by this.
Every night during these days, no matter what time he woke up, whether he turned over or wanted to drink water, Meisheng would be the first to notice and serve him without complaint.
Ask yourself, if it were her, even if it was her closest relative, it would be extremely rare to be able to do this, and it is unknown whether she can do it.
Moreover, Meisheng never talked much, but just glanced at her quietly.
Zhou Chang was originally not used to Mei Sheng guarding his bedside every night, but he couldn't resist, so he simply asked him to tell a story for hypnosis.
Mei Sheng also told Zhou Chang the stories he had learned from books.
So Zhou Chang fell asleep every time during the past two days listening to Mei Sheng's stories, and he even had the illusion that life was peaceful and tranquil.
Sometimes I can’t help but think that no matter I was a woman in the previous life or a man in this life, having such a gentle person to take care of me is the best blessing.
