After the imperial physician arrived, Shen Jiaojiao and her entourage took Consort Liu's pulse and administered several acupuncture needles.
As Consort Liu slowly awoke, her memories gradually returned, and tears streamed down her face.
Chu Batian sat in front of the bed. This was the Empress's room, and the Empress's bed.
He didn't want to stay any longer after he woke up. Since the matter was already settled, he wouldn't make any changes.
Liu Sisi's delicate face, like a rose that has lost its moisture, is exceptionally endearing.
Her voice was hoarse, and she didn't know where to begin: "Your Majesty! Waaah..."
In this scene, Shen Jiaojiao always felt that everyone else was superfluous, and quite some time had passed.
Should we go back?
She turned her head, imagining her eyes meeting Chu Tianling's, and he immediately understood.
Chu Tianling gently approached the Empress and whispered, "Mother, Jiaojiao and I will go back first. It's not convenient to stay here. We'll come to see you again when we have time!"
The Empress looked at the two with affection, nodded in satisfaction, and waved her hand gently, signaling them to leave quickly.
Just as the two men took a step, a messenger eunuch ran in from outside, bowed to them, and relayed his message.
"Your Majesty, His Highness Prince An has just finished conveying the imperial decree, and Miss Wen has also received it. She is now returning to report to Your Majesty!"
"Very well, I understand. You may leave!" The Emperor's voice was low and devoid of any joy.
Liu Sisi felt that the tears in her eyes were endless, and there was no end to them.
She let out a pitiful wails: "Your Majesty! Waaah..."
That sounded so pitiful.
The Empress secretly rolled her eyes, gently nudged the two standing there dumbfounded, and led the way out the door.
The two quickly followed.
"Let's go! I was originally planning to stay, but now I'm not in the mood anymore. I'll just see you to the door!"
The Empress walked at the front, and suddenly felt quite quiet by herself, so she turned around and snatched Jiaojiao from her son's arms.
So the Empress and Jiaojiao walked side by side, chatting happily.
Chu Tianling walked alone behind, unhappy.
Zhou Tianqi, Chunhua, and Chuncao followed behind.
Finally arriving at the door, Chu Tianling quickened his pace.
After the Empress finished explaining the arrangements, he took Jiao Jiao's hand, already eager to leave.
"Mother, I've remembered everything. No need to say more. I need to go back now; I still have to go through the files! Business is important!"
"Alright, alright! Then I won't keep you any longer, go now!"
The Empress stood at the door watching the group slowly walk away before she sauntered back inside.
Since her son recovered, she feels energetic every day and thinks it's great to be alive!
Chu Tianling and his men also headed towards the yamen.
He planned to look through the case files, and since Shen Jiaojiao was free, she accompanied him.
Upon arriving at the government office, Chu Tianling led Zhou Tianqi inside.
Seeing some stalls around, Shen Jiaojiao decided to take her maid and stroll around the neighborhood.
There happened to be a wonton stall not far away, so Shen Jiaojiao simply went over and sat down.
"Boss, three bowls of wontons, please!"
"Alright!" The owner was an elderly man who was in charge of cooking, while the elderly woman next to him was in charge of serving it.
Shen Jiaojiao asked Chunhua and Chuncao behind her to sit down and eat together.
These small square tables can seat four people, and the three of them sat together perfectly.
The owner quickly brought out three bowls of wontons.
As the three of them were eating, two people walked out of the yamen (government office) – Zhang Shi and Wenrou.
Gently supporting Zhang Shi, they stood on the street, somewhat bewildered: "Mother! Where should we go?"
I left very decisively, thinking that home was no different from the street anyway.
Although I am now open-minded, when I calm down and think about it, I realize that my entire maternal family has gone to the frontier.
He had no money on him and didn't know where to go.
Zhang looked at Shen Jiaojiao in the distance, feeling somewhat uncertain.
Shen Jiaojiao's father, General Shen, had fought alongside her father on the battlefield before, but General Shen returned while her family remained on the frontier.
I even went to see Shen Jiaojiao when she was born.
Zhang hesitated before stepping forward and asked softly, "Is this General Shen's daughter, Shen Jiajiao?"
Shen Jiaojiao looked up at the two of them curiously, and asked somewhat distantly, "I am Shen Jiaojiao, and who is Madam?"
Zhang was stunned for a moment, then realized that she had acted too hastily.
Shen Jiaojiao is now the Crown Princess, she's not on the same level anymore.
He quickly grabbed Wenrou's hand and was about to kneel down.
Seeing this action, she sensed something was wrong, so Shen Jiaojiao quickly got up and grabbed Wen Nuan, who was closest to her, and gestured to Chunhua and Chuncao to help her up.
"Don't do this, sit down first, I don't want anyone to know!"
Zhang blushed. She had indeed acted impulsively just now. Since the Crown Princess was sitting here eating, it meant that she wanted to keep a low profile.
I almost ruined her plan just now.
Damn it!
Chunhua and Chuncao were very perceptive; they took their own portions and sat down next door, making room for Zhang and her daughter.
"Boss, two more bowls!" Shen Jiaojiao simply ordered two more bowls.
Zhang blushed and sat down, feeling very constrained.
Shen Jiaojiao smiled reassuringly at the two of them, her voice light and cheerful: "Madam, please sit down. You know my father, so he is his guest. I'll greet you on his behalf and you can have something to eat. Later, I'll take you to my home. I haven't been home to see my parents in a long time, so please come with me!"
Zhang's eyes welled up with tears, but she struggled to hold them back.
He secretly vowed to repay the Shen family in the future.
"How should I address this young lady?" Shen Jiaojiao asked Wenrou gently.
Wenrou was already quite thin, and she was wearing old clothes. She felt a little embarrassed sitting next to Shen Jiaojiao.
With her head down, she whispered, "My name is Wenrou!"
The sound was also very soft.
Shen Jiaojiao felt that the voice sounded like a little kitten! It was so nice to hear, and the name was lovely too.
Her eyes shone with a gentle joy as she looked at him: "Your name is beautiful, and your voice is beautiful too!"
Gentlely and cautiously raising her head, a little shyly, she said, "Thank you. Your name is also very beautiful, really!"
Soon, two bowls of wontons were served.
The white dough wraps around minced meat, and the hot soup exudes an enticing aroma, with green scallions floating on top, making it very tempting.
I was attracted by her gentleness.
I haven't eaten this in so many years. Ever since my family ran out of money, I can only smell the aroma whenever I pass by these stalls.
"Let's eat first! It won't taste good if it gets cold. We still have plenty of time to talk!" Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head, pretending not to see the expressions on their faces, and just ate attentively.
The wontons were delicious; Wenrou thought they were the best wontons she had ever eaten in her life.
Her tears gently sank into the soup as she ate heartily, swallowing both the soup and her tears together.
She secretly told herself that everything would be sweet from now on, and she wouldn't cry anymore.
I still have my mother!
