Li Chen opened his eyes suddenly, and the severe headache made him almost faint again.
What he saw in front of him was not the pale ceiling of the hospital duty room that he was familiar with, nor the light of the shadowless lamp, but a blurry, swaying yellow light.
The nose was filled with a strong, mixed smell - sandalwood, herbs, and a... Vague smell of blood?
"Hiss—" He gasped and struggled to sit up, but found that his whole body was sore and weak, as if all his strength had been drained away.
"Wake up! He's awake!" A high-pitched, slightly frightened voice sounded next to him.
Li Chen tilted his head with difficulty, and his eyes gradually focused.
The first thing that catches the eye is the antique carved bed top. The dark wooden structure glows with a cold luster under the candlelight. Then, there is a face of a girl full of anxiety and tears. She is wearing a double bun and a light blue skirt. She looks like a maid in a costume drama.
Maid? Costume?
Am I dreaming? Or... Which crew moved me here?
He was an emergency doctor, and the last fragment of his memory was that after staying up for thirty-six consecutive hours, his vision went dark in the duty room.
"Doctor, you are finally awake! Please, please save my mother-in-law!" Seeing that his eyes were clear again, the little maid knelt down in front of the bed with a thud and begged in a tearful voice.
Doctor? Empress?
