Chapter 100 Her Management Has Improved
Song Junyan was in so much pain that even though he didn't utter a single weak groan from beginning to end, the doctor could see how much pain he was experiencing from the punctures on his palms caused by his fingertips.
The doctor was afraid that the prince would suffer too much pain from his hands, so he wrote a prescription and asked someone to boil a bowl of Ma Fei San.
Silver needles were used to prick the acupuncture points to temporarily relieve the pain. Song Junyan's stiff back finally relaxed and he slowly closed his eyes in the thick soothing incense.
But before he could fall asleep, he was awakened by the sound of the door being pushed open.
Before I looked for the person coming, I heard a familiar voice.
[Why is his face so pale? Is he still bleeding internally?]
[But, isn’t it said that once internal bleeding occurs, it is a serious problem and the person will die soon? ]
[It is said that the disaster has lasted for thousands of years, and he has not yet turned evil. He should not die so easily, right? ]
[He must not get into any trouble, or be crushed to death by me... If it is recorded in history books, he will be laughed to death by future generations, right? ]
The chaotic voices in her heart still sounded familiar. Song Junyan frowned and glanced coldly at the eunuch who brought her in.
Now he just wanted to lie down peacefully until tomorrow morning, and then return to the capital early to have his ribs reconnected and recuperate slowly.
If he knew that going out of town to rescue people would put himself in danger...
Forget it. Even if he knew, he could only blame himself. After all, he couldn't just watch the three of them, mother and daughter, get into trouble.
Lu Xinran cautiously moved to the bedside, and sensing his irritable mood, she gave a nervous dry laugh.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I would like to thank you on behalf of my elder sister for coming out of the city to rescue me."
[I have to remember this favor. Without him, we would not be able to escape today and we might even be dead now.]
【I hope it won’t be too embarrassing to repay a favor in the future.】
[He looks so miserable like this, a bit... beautiful, strong, miserable, white, and weak, like, um, the one in a waste novel waiting to be abused.]
[But he is a prince, so being beautiful and strong is not a problem, and he shouldn't be miserable. ]
[Well, that's not right. The harem is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. Maybe he was really miserable in the past! ]
Thinking of this, she subconsciously wanted to order the booklet belonging to Song Junyan.
The delicate beauty lying on the bed was frightened and hurriedly called out to hurry him away.
"It's just a simple task, don't worry, Miss. I'm not feeling well, please do as you please."
He bluntly asked the guest to leave. Lu Xinran did not want to stay any longer. He looked at him carefully again. Seeing that his face was getting paler, he bowed and was sent out by the eunuch with a heavy heart.
"Before I return to the palace tomorrow, I don't want to see any outsiders anymore. Do you remember this?"
The little girl who was hit responded in a panic. After leaving the room, she stood guard at the door and dared not act on her own.
There were guards standing outside, so there was no sneak attack that night and the inn was peaceful.
After taking the tranquilizing soup, Lu Xinlan fell into a deep sleep.
As for Zhao, she kowtowed and, according to the doctor, she needed to take it easy. She might wake up early tomorrow morning or at night, or she might have to sleep for a few days.
Lu Xinran had no intention of fulfilling his filial duty in front of Zhao, so he asked the innkeeper to find a woman to come and watch over Zhao's room before he went back to his room to rest.
Only Lu Yuanheng felt a little sad. He came to see Lu Xinran several times, but she dismissed him with a polite and distant attitude.
He couldn't understand it. It was obviously for Lu Xinlan's sake that they didn't get close to her the first time she returned home. Why did she treat her older sister like a sister, but was unwilling to forgive him and his mother?
Lu Xinran always felt that something was wrong. He discussed it with the system over and over again for a long time, but neither he nor the system could figure out where the problem lay.
If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. As long as the problem is thrown away quickly, there will be no problem.
"Tongzi, Song Junyan is sure that he only broke his ribs and didn't injure any internal organs, is that right?"
"Sure, sure, and for sure!"
Lu Xinran: “…”
Her organization has improved and she can even make jokes.
She slept uneasily the whole night, and everyone got up early the next morning to prepare to return to the city.
Song Junyan had broken ribs and could not withstand the bumps of the carriage, so the guards, under the guidance of the doctor, made a stretcher overnight that could be carried on shoulders.
For fear that it would be too hot as the sun rose high in the sky, we also put up a sunshade on top.
Lu Xinran looked at Song Junyan lying in the middle, being carried by the guards. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't help but talk nonsense in his heart.
[This sedan chair looks really unlucky, and it has a lid. Why not replace it with a wooden one? He can lie in it and go directly to the imperial mausoleum without having to go back to the city.]
Song Junyan, who could hear the inner voice: "..."
If she hadn't complained to him, he wouldn't have noticed until he tried to move his eyes. Then he realized that he was lying straight in the sedan and it really looked like... a coffin!
Before the group had gone far, they were met by the eunuchs who had come to meet them.
"My two Miss Lu, the Queen Mother and the Empress were extremely worried when they heard that something happened to you. They asked me to come and bring you to the palace to let the imperial physician take a closer look."
When they returned to the Lu residence, they could also invite the imperial physician to come and see them. Lu Xinlan immediately realized that the emperor wanted to summon them to the palace, using the names of the empress dowager and the queen.
Lu Xinran turned her head to look at Lu Xinlan and saw her nod slightly to her. The two sisters hurriedly bowed in the direction of the imperial city, and did not forget to say some words of thanks.
With the help of the eunuchs, they had a safe journey.
However, Song Junyan was seriously injured, and they could not move quickly with him carried. By the time they returned to the city, it was almost noon.
Lu Yuanheng took Zhao to the palace first, while Lu Xinran and her sister were led by the eunuch and entered the palace with Song Junyan.
The proud Fourth Prince was carried into a carriage before entering the city. The carriage was covered with thick cushions, but the bumpy ride still made him break out in cold sweats.
When he was lifted back onto the sedan chair at the palace gate, the two sisters noticed that his collar was wet with cold sweat.
Lu Xinran's heart was filled with guilt and remorse. If Song Junyan hadn't acted as a flesh pad for her, she would be the one with broken bones now.
The group separated in the palace corridor as they entered the palace.
The guards carried Song Junyan straight to the Imperial Medical Office, and the eunuch who summoned them into the palace led them straight to the Wenhua Palace.
