Si Ning continued staring at Song Feng, blinking slowly, trying to think of a way to raise his head or move away, he knew he doesn't have to think of things like that before taking action yet he just stared at Song Feng because he was too weak to move and this made him frown when he saw that Song Feng gaze didn't shift from him for once and Si Ning would have thought Song Feng had frozen in place if not of his head that was drawing nearer to his face.

Seeing that Song Feng's head was getting dangerously close, his eyes narrowed and dilated, he was now staring at Si Ning's lips that he even slowly traced his index finger on Si Ning's bottom lip. This made Si Ning frown deepened into a scowl hoping Song Feng might get the hint from his expression and move back but Song Feng attention was on his lips and Si Ning knew if he doesn't move Song Feng might accidentally kiss him and this made Si Ning muster up his strength to turn his head away just when their lips were about to meet.

Si Ning suddenly action made Song Feng realized what he was about to do and he was shocked and quickly straightened up, his cheeks and ears tinted red, he cleared his throat trying to cover his embarrassment, opening and closing his mouth since he wasn't sure if he was supposed to apologize or not.

"Ehm.. hmm eh...." Si Ning wanted to tell Song Feng to help him up but he could only utter unintelligent sounds as he turns back his head to look at Song Feng whose face was now flushed.

Song Feng quickly looked away as he used a hand to cover his face like he was hiding from Si Ning. "That that is hmm. " He stopped and cleared his throat. "That is what you get for abusing your drugs, you have been unconscious for almost two days." He rushed out as he lowered his face to see Si Ning still staring at him, he quickly helped Si Ning to sit probably on the bed, he stood up briskly and moved away.

Si Ning tried to understand what Song Feng just said and when he finally understood he had no comment. After all, he was the one that used the remaining two sleeping pills at once because he wanted to rest peacefully and because of that, it almost threw him in a comatose state and the strange dream he had was frightening enough for him to learn his lesson.

"Young Master! Young Master!....." Ah Dai said outside with a hint of urgency. "Young Master... Young Master..."

Si Ning felt dizzy and he knew a headache was probably coming on the way and if he doesn't reply, Ah Dai would continue calling for him. "Come in." He said weakly, his voice low. It was the only words he thought were reasonable to say at that moment and his hands he used to support his body on the bed was getting weaker that his hands were about to give way when Song Feng moved swiftly and quickly bent to steady him.

"Young Master, are you awake? Imperial Doctor?" Ah Dai called.

"Come in Ah Dai." Song Feng said, his voice audible enough for Ah Dai to hear as he straightened up and walked up to the table. He carried a small bowl on the table and started mixing the content with a silver spoon.

The door opened and Ah Dai rushed in almost stumbling at the entrance. "Young Master, The Prime Minister is here." He said quickly and brought in a pail of water and two bowls.

Si Ning blinked and it took a while for him to understood what Ah Dai just told him. He only blinked and sat there unable to think of what next to do or why the Prime Minister came to see him. The day he first attended the court, he didn't take note of his surroundings and he wasn't sure if he had seen the Prime Minister. Thinking about it was making his head hot that Si Ning pushed his thoughts aside to stare into space.

"Si Ning take this, it will help you regain your balance." Song Feng told him as he handed the small bowl of a concoction to Si Ning.

As a General Si Ning knew he shouldn't look pathetic and appear weak and if what he was about to drink would help him regain his sense then it was what he needed most so he collected the bowl from Song Feng and slowly drank the content all at once, surprising it wasn't bitter, he returned the bowl only for Song Feng to hand him a cup of water, Si Ning accepted it and drank little out of it before returning the cup to him.

When Ah Dai saw that Si Ning didn't reply, he waited patiently waiting for his orders but Si Ning only closed his eyes.

"Ah Dai make sure you feed Si Ning the meal I prepared and also let him drink a lot of water." Song Feng told Ah Dai before turning to Si Ning. "Si Ning?"

Si Ning slowly opened his eyes. "Hmm?"

"Make sure you eat all your meal and drink a lot of water, I will come back to check on you." Song Feng told him and he waited until Si Ning nodded before heading out.

When Song Feng left, Ah Dai quickly brought a bowl of water and helped Si Ning wash his face carefully making sure none of the water spills on his cloth, after the pats Si Ning's face dry then brought a comb and ran it through Si Ning's hair, styled his hair into a simple ponytail and inserted the dragon-shaped golden hairpin before helping him to wear a neat white outer robe.

"Young Master I am done." Ah Dai said brushing out the invincible specks of dust on Si Ning's robe and held up a mirror for Si Ning.

Si Ning blinked slowly trying to make sense of what Ah Dai said. "Hmm."

Going through the stress of understanding before replying made Si Ning realized the sleeping pills he took were messing with his head because he was unable to think straight or even access what was happening. He only looked at his reflection in the mirror to see his face was still perfect and he gestured for Ah Dai to move the mirror away.

Si Ning stood up slowly when Ah Dai was done making him look presented after over adjusting his robes. he swayed only for Ah Dai to quickly support him and he gestured for Ah Dai to move backward. He could see one of the other bowls contained different types of materials for his daily beauty routine of taking his bath, clean his mouth, wash his hair but since Ah Dai didn't suggest him taking at least a bath means the Prime Minister wasn't a person that he could have waiting for him.

Si Ning took a deep breath and walked out slowly, Ah Dai closing the door behind him. Xiao Pei and Jiang Ye who were waiting for him saluted him, Si Ning only nodded and stopped trying to think of where the Prime Minister should be.

.

After a while he was able to conclude that the Prime Minister was probably waiting for him in the meeting room and he slowly shook out his sleeves, heading out of his quarters.
