"Princess, we were just discussing this outside. The prince's condition is very serious. We need to forcibly wake him up as soon as possible. Please give me some advice, Princess."
"Mr. Lu." Xie Wanyi frowned slightly, "Didn't they say that the prince would wake up at dawn? Why did they force him to wake up?"
"The prince is in a condition where he cannot wake up on his own. If he doesn't wake up after the hour of Chen, then he will not be able to wake up. If he is forced to wake up, he can only last a day or half a day."
"Then if Prince Chenshi wakes up on his own, he can last seven days, right?"
"Yes!"
Xie Wanyi couldn't help but feel anxious. Could the prince wait for Princess Xiao to come in a day or half a day?
"Princess, please make a decision as soon as possible."
"If you forcefully awaken the prince, you can only help him hold on for half a day or a day. Can't you think of a way to help him hold on for a few more days?"
Li Yuanliang, Yang Yuanshou and other senior imperial physicians all looked at Old Lu.
Elder Lu said he was under a lot of pressure. "I'll use my golden needles to prick the acupuncture points, but at most I can keep the prince alive until tomorrow morning."
Are twelve hours enough?
Xie Wanyi hesitated and saw Xu Mo, Zi Yu and others enter the yard out of the corner of her eye.
"Xu Mo, quickly arrange for someone to find out if Princess Xiao can reach the Crown Prince's residence within twelve hours."
Twelve hours? What did he miss?
"Okay, Princess. I'll make the arrangements right away!"
"Ziyu, come closer."
Xie Wanyi whispered a few words in his ear, and Zi Yu bowed and left, rushing to Chaoyang Pavilion.
She couldn't make up her mind about such a big thing.
The Queen Mother was still in the eldest prince's mansion. How could she make a decision without the Queen Mother's permission?
"Princess, you must make a decision before noon. If you are late, it will be too late."
Xie Wanyi did not respond. She was waiting for the empress dowager's reply.
A quarter of an hour before Zi Yu arrived at Chaoyang Pavilion, the Empress Dowager received an urgent report from Du Yu!
"Su Xingyi is truly remarkable! How dare you disobey my orders!"
"Queen Dowager, calm down." Yun Gu, the personal maid, quickly soothed her. "He's just a crude fellow. He probably doesn't even know what it means to disobey an imperial order."
"Hmph! If anything happens to Yu'er, I will not forgive him. It's just the right time to replace Princess Xiao with a young man from a noble family who is equally suitable for her."
After all, Princess Xiao was her cherished granddaughter-in-law, whom she had watched grow up, but in the end, she ended up being taken advantage of by Su Xingyi, a country bumpkin!
"That's right, he still won't let us control him even after he arrives in the capital."
The Empress Dowager was relieved after hearing this. "Let's go and see Yu'er first."
"Your servant Ziyu pays respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."
"No need to be polite."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother remembered this girl, "Is the Prince awake?"
"Replying to the Queen Mother, the prince has not yet woken up. His condition is serious and he cannot wake up on his own. Elder Lu and the others have discussed forcibly waking the prince up to buy him twelve hours."
"Does this mean His Majesty only has twelve hours left?"
Zi Yu nodded vigorously.
If the Queen Mother hadn't just received the urgent letter from Du Yu overnight, she would have been at a loss. "Go tell the princess that I agree to forcibly wake the prince."
Zi Yu didn't care about being rude and turned around and ran to the yard.
The Queen Mother then arranged for another group of people to go out of the city to urge them to come.
Ziyu ran back and said breathlessly: "Princess, the Queen Mother allowed Mr. Lu to forcibly awaken..." the prince.
Before he finished speaking, Li Yuanliang hurriedly pulled Old Lu into the room. Yang Sheng and others followed him in to watch Old Lu use acupuncture to wake up Feng Jinyu.
"Princess." At this time, Xu Mo came back from outside. "I have arranged for people to go out of the city to inquire about Princess Xiao's whereabouts soon. Please do not tell the prince about the princess's return to the capital to see the prince after he wakes up. I am worried that the prince will refuse to let Princess Xiao see him."
Xie Wanyi was silent for a moment, "I understand."
After Mr. Lu inserted the needles into Feng Jinyu's acupuncture points, he left the needles on her body for less than half an incense stick of time before removing them one by one.
Li Yuanliang took Feng Jinyu's pulse, and there was no joy on his face.
The prince woke up, which meant there were only twelve hours left.
"Mr. Lu, why hasn't the prince woken up yet?" Xie Wanyi asked hurriedly.
"The prince will wake up in half an incense stick."
Afterwards, Xie Wanyi asked Ziyu to arrange for Mr. Lu and others to have breakfast, while she sat by the bed waiting for Feng Jinyu to wake up.
When the Queen Mother came in, she saw this scene and smiled with relief.
Wanyi really cares about Yu'er.
"Wanyi, when will Yu'er wake up?"
"The prince will wake up in a quarter of an hour." Xie Wanyi stood up and took the Empress Dowager's arm and sat on the Luohan couch in front of the window. "How about we wait together for the prince to wake up?"
The Queen Mother looked at her lovingly, "Okay, let's wait for him to wake up so that he can see us when he opens his eyes."
Seeing that the Empress Dowager didn't look anxious, Xie Wanyi asked tentatively, "I wonder if Princess Xiao can make it to the Crown Prince's residence within twelve hours?"
"The Imperial Grandmother has sent someone to urge him. He will definitely arrive in twelve hours. When Yu'er gets better, you can give her more good great-grandchildren."
Shaoyao came in with a large bowl of millet oil, "Princess, Queen Mother, the millet oil is ready."
"Wanyi, was this arranged by Mr. Lu?"
Xie Wanyi nodded, "Old Lu said that millet oil is rich in nutrients and is most suitable for the prince to drink."
As he spoke, Feng Jinyu slowly opened his eyes.
Feng Jinyu wanted to open his mouth to speak, but just opening his lips was too much of an effort.
The grandfather and grandson didn't notice it for a moment, until Shaoyao suddenly turned around and said, "Queen Mother, Princess, the prince has woken up."
"Yu'er, you're finally awake." The Empress Dowager rushed to the bed before Xie Wanyi.
"Emperor..." Feng Jinyu took a lot of effort to say a word.
Xie Wanyi quickly scooped a spoonful of millet oil and handed it to his mouth, "Prince, drink some millet oil first."
Feng Jinyu didn't want them to worry about him, so he gritted his teeth, opened his mouth hard, and drank the millet oil Xie Wanyi fed him...
The Empress Dowager was very satisfied with Xie Wanyi's performance and quietly stepped aside so as not to disturb the two of them.
Changchun Palace
"Your Majesty, the Emperor just finished his court and went straight to the Crown Prince's residence. Qingxu sent back news that everyone in Xiaoyun Pavilion at the Crown Prince's residence stayed up all night. The Crown Prince's condition is very serious, and his life or death is unknown. The Empress Dowager sent people out of the city this morning to urge Xiao Lingyu to return to the capital. Xu Mo also sent people out of the city to investigate."
"So what's the situation with the eldest prince now? Go check it out!"
"yes!"
Pei Lan returned an hour later, "Qing Xu can't enter the First Prince's Mansion during the day. I learned from the spies planted in the Imperial Hospital that Feng Jinyu was forcibly awakened by Elder Lu using golden needles."
Cui Wan pursed her lips. "This is gambling with God! Feng Jinyu will only die faster."
"Your Majesty, they are all waiting for Princess Xiao. I'm afraid Princess Xiao will arrive today. Should we delay Princess Xiao's entry into the city?"
"No, we don't have many people. The Imperial Guards have already sent 200 of them, all of them are experts!"
"Then we can't really let Princess Xiao cure the prince. The Empress Dowager only issued an order for Princess Xiao to return to the capital to see Feng Jinyu after meeting Master Ci'en."
