Rows of blue veins popped up on the back of Shen Yi's hand.

However, after a while, Shen Yi still reluctantly sat down again, spread the paper, carefully considered every word and sentence, and modified Gu Yun's report.

After Gu Yun 'the corpse' had lied down, he did not come back to life again, because his head actually did hurt. Shen Yi also knew that this was the medicine's side effect.

After drinking this medicinal soup, there was a period as long as an incense burning time wherein his eyes could see crystal clear and his hearing was extremely sharp. When this period was over, the headache would start to kick in, and even just opening his eyes would feel as if his surroundings were spinning. The sounds all around him echoed both near and far.

This symptom would slowly be relieved after about half an hour. Afterwards, his eyes and ears could temporarily function like normal people.

How long could he stay normal? That would be hard to say.

When Gu Yun took this medicine for the first time, the ache was painful enough for him to beat his head against the bedpost. Afterward, as he was able to see and hear clearly for more than three months, it almost made him forget that he still had two nonfunctional body parts.

And as he used it more and more frequently, on one hand, he had acquired the skill to fall asleep no matter how bad the pain in his head became, but at the same time, its effectiveness seemed to be slowly wearing out.

As of right now, a single dose could only be effective for about three to five days.

"It might become completely useless in a few years...," Shen Yi thought.

The two - one sitting, one lying - did not speak a single word. It was only once the night was dark and the sound of night patrol could be heard in the distance that Shen Yi had finally put his brush down. He turned around to pick up a blanket and covered Gu Yun.

Gu Yun still kept the same sleeping position as before when he fell over, completely motionless. Only his brows were slightly crunched together, his lips and cheeks were pale white as if there was not a trace of blood. Still, his two beauty marks continued to shine.

Shen Yi looked at him, then carefully walked out.

The next day, once Marshal Gu woke up, he had reverted back to the Marquis of Order bursting with energy once again.

The day was still not bright, yet Shen Yi was already stirred awake by Gu Yun. He answered the door with still drowsy eyes, only to see a very enthusiastic Gu Yun: "The stuff I commissioned has finally arrived. Just you watch, when I bring this to apologize, I guarantee it can completely soothe the anger of that little brat!"
