Madam Su's illness is not too serious; it is caused by excessive worry.

Now that Su Ruojin's Gu poison has been cured, her inner knot has been untied, and her body is recovering quickly.

Su Ruojin's heart injury requires a period of rest and cannot be rushed.

Xiao Yanchu is still in a coma.

Everyone originally planned to keep Xiao Yanchu's injury a secret from Su Ruojin, but Su Ruojin realized something was wrong after not seeing Xiao Yanchu for two consecutive days.

Knowing Xiao Yanchu as she did, even if he was busy and she was still in bed, there was no way he would not show up for two days.

"Yanluo, where is the Prince?" Su Ruojin asked.

Yanluo paused slightly, touched her left ear, and replied with a smile, "Miss, the Prince has been urgently dispatched by the Emperor to inspect the Northwest. He won't be back for a while."

Su Ruojin looked up at Yanluo, "Yanluo, you're not good at lying."

Yanluo has a habit of unconsciously touching her ear whenever she lies.

Upon hearing this, Yanluo immediately knelt down, "Miss, Yanluo didn't mean to lie to you, it's just... it's just..."

Yanluo's eyes reddened as she spoke.

Su Ruojin looked at her, her tone calm, "Get up. Didn't I say that you never need to kneel before me? Xiao Yanchu is badly injured, isn't he?"

Seeing that her mistress had guessed it, Yanluo could only nod. "The prince has not yet woken up, and Doctor Ye is taking care of him."

Su Ruojin threw back the covers. "I'm going to check on him."

Yanluo quickly stopped her, "Miss, Doctor Ye said you can't get out of bed yet. Everyone is afraid you'll worry, that's why they haven't told you."

Su Ruojin shook her head. "I know my body well. I'm just weak, not to the point where I can't get out of bed. I'm a doctor too. How can I feel at ease if I don't take a look myself? Help me over there."

Yanluo knew that no one could stop her young mistress from doing what she had decided to do, so she took a thick cloak, draped it over her mistress, and helped her out of the room.

Seeing Su Ruojin enter, Ye Xunzhi sighed. He knew he couldn't hide anything from this little girl.

"Master, how is he?"

Ye Xunzhi said, "He has three broken ribs, but fortunately none of them pierced his heart or lungs. He also has many severe scratches on his body, some so deep that the bone is visible. I don't know how he managed to endure such excruciating pain and rush back. If he hadn't woken up soon..."

Before the master could finish speaking, Su Ruojin understood.

Su Ruojin lowered her eyes, concealing all her emotions, and slowly walked to the bedside to look at the unconscious Xiao Yanchu.

Seeing this, Ye Xunzhi waved and left the room with Yan Luo, leaving the two of them alone.

Su Ruojin slowly sat down and took Xiao Yanchu's pulse.

She knew that her master's treatment was already the best she could do.

She's just a doctor, not a deity.

Sometimes, whether a person can survive a serious injury depends entirely on their own willpower.

She took Xiao Yanchu's hand and placed it on her face: "Yanchu, why do this? Why do you have to do this for me? I would have been fine even if it had been a couple of days later."

“We’ve overcome so many difficulties, so you’ll definitely be alright this time too. Look, I’m wearing the bracelet my mother gave me. How about we get married when Grandmother comes back?”

"Xiao Yanchu, wake up quickly. I'm still waiting for you to come to the General's Mansion to propose marriage to me. Don't worry, I'll go to my brothers and ask them not to make things too difficult for you on the wedding day."

"I am now the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion. If you don't wake up soon, do you believe that many people will come to the General's Mansion to ask for my hand in marriage? Aren't you afraid that someone will snatch me away from you?"

"Yanchu, wake up quickly. We promised to see all the sights in the world, but our secluded courtyard isn't finished yet."

......

Tears streamed down Su Ruojin's face and landed on Xiao Yanchu's hand.

In an instant, Su Ruojin felt his little finger twitch.
