[Delicate, sickly little green tea x beast in human skin, scummy shadow guard]
Su Yunfeng had lived in the inner palace for years and was deeply favored by the emperor.
But once, when Emperor Zhao Hege fell seriously ill, Su Yunfeng went out to a temple to pray and burn incense.
After being frightened while praying for Zhao Hege's recovery,
she fell ill and never recovered.
She often suffered from intermittent episodes of panic and hysteria, but after Zhao Hege had the imperial physicians examine her, they said there was nothing wrong.
Still, Zhao Hege couldn't put his mind at ease.
So he assigned her a personal shadow guard: Zhou Jian, the armed guard who had accompanied Su Yunfeng to the temple to pray and burn incense that day.
After Zhou Jian became Su Yunfeng's shadow guard, her condition did indeed improve.
Zhao Hege was greatly relieved.
He instructed Zhou Jian to keep Su Yunfeng company as much as possible and help ease some of his burden,
so that he could devote himself more diligently to state affairs.
Winter came again, cold and bitter.
That night,
Su Yunfeng went to the imperial garden to admire the plum blossoms and watch the snow, but accidentally caught a chill.
Every night, she would cough incessantly,
unable to sleep.
When Zhao Hege heard about it, he hurriedly ordered Zhou Jian to fetch the imperial physician and get some medicine.
Zhou Jian made it into a medicinal soup and fed it to Su Yunfeng...
He brought a spoonful of the steaming medicine to Su Yunfeng's lips. Telling her to be careful because it was hot, he urged her to drink slowly, then asked, "Which do you like better, the medicine His Majesty usually gives Your Highness, or the medicinal soup I brewed for you?"
Su Yunfeng held the bowl and tasted the soup. Before she knew it, she had licked the bowl clean. "Do you really have to ask, Guard Zhou? Of course your medicinal soup tastes better. His Majesty is so busy with state affairs and works himself to exhaustion. He can barely look after himself, so how could he possibly find the time to brew medicine for me? You're such a joker, my lord."
Zhou Jian picked up the bowl and was about to leave, but Su Yunfeng suddenly hugged him from behind and snatched the bowl from his hands. She nestled against his ear and shoulder, whimpering, "My lord, this soup is so bitter. I drank so much just now. Can't you give me something sweet too?"
Zhou Jian turned around and gave her a sinister, cold laugh. "There's nothing sweet. I'm afraid it'll only get more bitter. Do you still want to drink it, Your Highness?"
Su Yunfeng was shocked and frightened, yet she seemed possessed as she murmured, "I do..."
