After having his blood drawn twice, Xiao Chen's face turned even paler, and he felt a little dizzy. His body couldn't help but lean back. Fortunately, Zhao Yiming, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, supported him and prevented him from falling to the ground.
"How are you? Are you still holding on?"
The prince beside him also reacted quickly, "Achen! Imperial physician, come quickly and take a look."
Doctor Wei came over immediately and took his hand. After a moment, he said, "Your Highness, Prince Chen, is fine. He just lost too much blood and is a little weak. I have already asked someone to make a blood-tonifying soup. It will be with you shortly. You will feel better after drinking it."
The emperor looked at Xiao Chen, who had collapsed from exhaustion while trying to save the queen, his heart and eyes filled with guilt. "Thank you for your hard work, kid. Let's help him to the side hall to rest first!"
Soon, the blood-tonifying medicine for nourishing the body arrived. After the palace people tested the poison, the prince and Zhao Yiming drank a bowl each.
The emperor personally took a bowl to the side hall to feed Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen drank the medicine in a daze, thinking that it was a palace maid feeding him medicine. After taking a sip, he frowned and muttered, "Why don't you know how to blow it? It's scalding the little prince. Do you know how to serve me?"
The palace maid beside him wanted to speak up to remind him, but was interrupted by the emperor.
The emperor looked at his son's weak appearance, shook his head in amusement, scooped up a spoonful of medicine, blew on it twice, and fed it to him after making sure it was no longer hot.
Xiao Chen drank the medicine, smacked his lips twice, and muttered again, "That's about right."
Emperor: “…” Did he really treat him as a palace maid?
It was not until he had drunk half a bowl of soup that Xiao Chen regained consciousness and saw that it was actually his father who fed him the medicine. Remembering that he had muttered to himself while drinking the medicine, he was immediately frightened to death.
He struggled to get up, "Father, I just..."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Alright, if you feel unwell, just lie down and take medicine, my little prince."
Xiao Chen touched his nose awkwardly, lowered his head and secretly glanced at the emperor.
It wasn't until the emperor fed him another spoonful of medicine that he reacted and hurried to take the bowl of medicine, "Father, I'm feeling better now and can drink it myself."
But the emperor refused to give it to her. "Just lie down and feed your son a bowl of medicine. I can still do it."
Xiao Chen didn't dare to move. He waited until the bowl of medicine was empty before he hurriedly urged the emperor, "Father, I'm fine. You should go check on Mother first!"
The Emperor was indeed worried about the Empress. He had only just come to check on Xiao Chen because he saw that the operation hadn't finished yet and the Crown Prince was watching. Now that he saw that he was indeed fine, he stood up and said, "You should rest well first. I'll go see your mother."
After the emperor left, Xiao Chen pulled the palace maid with a silly smile and said, "Father actually fed me medicine himself just now, and even blew it."
Without waiting for the palace servant to reply, he continued to laugh foolishly, "This is the first time that my little prince has not been scolded by his father!"
Palace maid: “…”
In the queen's bedroom, although Tian An was concentrating on performing the operation, she could still vaguely hear some of the noise outside and knew that the emperor would not use the blood of the palace maids to transfuse the queen.
But the queen had lost too much blood, and the blood donation from the prince and the other two was not enough, so Tian An secretly took some plasma from the space and added it in to make up for it.
She stopped the bleeding, checked the wound, sewed it, and bandaged it all by herself, without even a helper. She was so tired that she was sweating profusely, but fortunately she finally completed the operation.
She still had to train some helpers as soon as possible! Otherwise, her tender arms and legs would be ruined early.
After carefully examining the Queen's physical condition and putting her on an IV drip, Tian An began to pack up all the surgical instruments. After confirming that everything was correct, he took off his dirty medical gloves and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Deng Xue, go get some palace maids to clean up the mess. Don't forget to disinfect their entire bodies."
Although extremely tired, Tian An still managed to walk out of the hall to comfort everyone.
Seeing Tian An coming out, Zhao Yiming walked over to her side and held her up with his hand. "You don't look well. Are you okay?"
Tian An shook his head tiredly, "It's okay, I can still hold on. Why are you here?"
"I'm worried about you."
Seeing the emperor and the crown prince coming over, Tian An didn't ask any more questions. He cheered up and told them about the queen's condition: "The operation was very successful. The queen is temporarily out of danger."
"Temporarily? What do you mean temporarily?" the emperor said excitedly.
Tian An explained, "The Empress's injuries were too severe. Although the wounds have been sutured, it still depends on her ability to endure. If she can survive tonight, she will be truly out of danger."
"Then you should stay in the palace tonight and guard the queen!"
Tian An is a woman and can take close care of the queen. In addition, she has good medical skills and can deal with any emergencies in a timely manner.
If she left, only the imperial physicians would be left. However, there were differences between men and women, and the imperial physicians could not stay close to the queen, so there would always be areas where they failed to provide adequate care.
Besides, after this incident, he now feels that everyone around him looks like an assassin. He still trusts Tian An more.
Tian An nodded and said, "I won't leave until the queen is well."
The Queen Mother will not be able to recover in a short time. While Zhao Yiming is here, Tian An briefly explains some things to him.
She asked him to report back to the mansion that he was safe, and then asked Chunxi to pack some clothes for her and Deng Xue, and also to bring in her large medicine box.
With the medicine box as a cover, she can take things from the space at will.
After explaining this, Zhao Yiming reminded the emperor, "The Empress is still very weak and cannot withstand any harm. If the Emperor and the Crown Prince want to visit her, they must disinfect their entire body before going. Don't stay too long."
Then he looked at the Queen's personal maid and said, "Spray the area around the bedroom with disinfectant every two hours. Don't let too many people in or out."
I'll let Deng Xue look after the Empress for now. The imperial doctors are waiting outside, so she'll be fine. I have to keep watch tonight, so I need to take a break now. Please, aunt, arrange a place for her to rest."
Tian An finally finished explaining everything. As soon as he relaxed, he leaned against Zhao Yiming, closed his eyes, and was so tired that he fell asleep in front of everyone.
The emperor thought something was wrong with her and was about to call the imperial physician, but was interrupted by Zhao Yiming, "Uncle, An An just fell asleep from exhaustion."
When Tian An woke up again, it was already dark. In a simple and exquisitely decorated room, Nanny Xiao was sorting things.
The food on the table gave off a faint fragrance, which made her stomach growl.
Hearing the sound, Madam Xiao turned around and helped her up. "Miss, you've been tired all day and must be starving! I figured you should be awake by now, so I had some food prepared. Go and have a taste."
Tian An put on his shoes and said, "Why is Mammy here too?"
"My uncle is worried about you being alone in the palace, so he asked me to come in and keep you company!"
