"Once You Ran returns, take her to visit Feng Yu at the Imperial Uncle's Palace as soon as possible. I'll go to the palace now."
After the Second Prince left, the Second Prince's wife had her maid find two plain-colored dresses to await Li Youran's return.
The Second Prince had only just learned of Feng Yu's serious injuries.
Upon learning of this, the Second Prince hurriedly arranged for his wife to take You Ran to visit the Imperial Uncle's residence. After all, he was Li You Ran's fiancé, and it was essential to maintain a proper appearance.
Not only that, His Highness the Second Prince also rushed to the palace to find the Emperor and ask him to uphold justice for Feng Yu.
"How could he suddenly suffer such a serious injury? I heard that three groups of imperial physicians went today, but Feng Yu is still unconscious."
The Second Prince's wife, holding her forehead, leaned against the carriage and spoke with her eyes closed.
The Second Prince's wife was not feeling well today, but she had no choice but to go, so she forced herself to take Li Youran with her.
"If Feng Yu doesn't recover and his health suffers, what will you two do after you get married...?"
The Second Prince's wife felt even more troubled at this thought.
"Sister, there's no need to worry. Young Master Feng is blessed with good fortune and will have his own destiny."
Li Youran said this, but in her heart she was thinking about the wedding date. She thought that no matter what, the wedding could not proceed as the date the Emperor had previously set, and would naturally have to be postponed.
The most important thing right now is Feng Yu's injury. Li Youran knew that Feng Yu's injury was somewhat related to Tang Lei and the other two, so she felt apologetic and uneasy, silently praying that Feng Yu would be alright.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped. Li Youran, supported by servants, stepped down from the carriage and looked up at the Imperial Uncle's mansion. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "As expected of the Empress's family, it is truly magnificent."
Li Youran had visited many mansions, including the Sixth Princess's palace, but this was the first time she had ever seen such a magnificent mansion.
The gate of the Duke of Huguo's mansion was much larger than those of other mansions, and there were twelve gatekeepers standing at the entrance, which showed just how grand the Duke of Huguo's mansion was.
Li Youran and the Second Prince's Consort had just stepped off the carriage and hadn't even had a chance to announce their arrival when the steward of the Duke of the State's mansion hurriedly came forward, opening the gates of the Duke of Huguo's mansion wide. A group of servants then came out and stood to the side to greet them.
When the Second Prince's Consort and Li Youran reached the gate, the Empress Dowager hurriedly came out to greet them.
The Empress Dowager's eyes were red, indicating that she had just been crying, but her demeanor was very proper, and her face did not show too much sadness. She just looked a little tired and not very energetic.
Li Youran couldn't help but admire her. As expected of the wife of the emperor's brother-in-law, she was able to control her emotions so well even after such a big event.
"Madam, don't worry too much. Young Master Feng is a lucky man, and everything will be alright."
The Second Prince's wife was already feeling unwell, and after traveling by carriage the whole way, she looked extremely unwell.
This scene caught the eye of the Empress Dowager, who felt that the Second Prince's wife was so haggard because of Feng Yu's matter, and she was deeply moved.
She turned to look at Li Youran, who was dressed in plain clothes and had her lips tightly pursed, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
What a perfect couple! If it weren't for her son's accident, they would probably be getting married at the end of the month.
"The imperial physician just left. He said that Yu'er is out of danger and could wake up at any time. We'll have to wait for a proper diagnosis before we can discuss anything else."
Moved by Li Youran and the Second Prince's wife, the Empress Dowager dropped her pretense and gently wiped away tears as she spoke.
"Madam, the eldest son has woken up."
He had only spoken a few words while standing there, and before he could even enter the mansion, a little maidservant came running over in a panic.
"Peach Blossom, what did you say?"
"Madam, the eldest son has woken up!"
When the Empress Dowager heard that Feng Yu had woken up, she was overjoyed. She didn't even have time to let go of Li Youran's hand, and she pulled Li Youran along quickly towards the courtyard where Feng Yu was.
Li Youran did not struggle and obediently followed the Empress Dowager. As she passed by the maid, she saw the maid looking at her with a mysterious gaze.
Although the young maid was not a stunning beauty, she was still considered a pretty girl from a modest family.
Li Youran's first thought was, could this little maid be Fengyu's concubine? After all, young masters from wealthy families usually have several concubines in their rooms before marriage.
However, Li Youran didn't take it to heart, since she didn't have those feelings for Feng Yu.
"Yu'er, you're finally awake! Your mother was so worried."
Feng Yu was not fully awake yet, but he vaguely seemed to see Li Youran's figure.
"Yu'er, the princess came to see you especially. I didn't expect that you would wake up so soon after the princess arrived. It's clear that the princess is your lucky star!"
When the Empress Dowager saw that Feng Yu's eyes were fixed on Li Youran, she hurriedly got up, made room for Li Youran in front of the bed, and pulled her over to sit down.
"You young people talk, I'll go and tell the kitchen to make some food you can eat."
By the time Li Youran realized what was happening, the Empress Dowager had already led the Second Prince's wife away, leaving only her and Feng Yu behind. Li Youran looked at Feng Yu lying on the bed, feeling slightly embarrassed.
Do you want some water?
Feng Yu nodded, and Li Youran seemed to have found a reason to leave. She hurriedly got up and went to the table to get a cup of tea.
"Princess, how can you do such a thing yourself? Let me do it."
Just then, Peach Blossom suddenly came over and took the water glass from Li Youran's hand.
"Peach Blossom, you may step back. I have something to say to the princess."
Before Tao Hua could even take the water glass over, Feng Yu refused her and looked at Li Youran with pleading eyes.
Li Youran, who had been enjoying some leisure time, could no longer pretend not to understand and could only take the water cup from Tao Hua's hand again.
"Excuse me, I hurt my arm. Could you give me some water?"
Feng Yu looked at the water glass that Li Youran handed him, glanced helplessly at his arm, and then looked at Li Youran again with pitiful eyes.
Seeing that Li Youran immediately looked embarrassed, Feng Yu still personally held the cup and fed him water, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"How did you suddenly get injured out of nowhere?"
Li Youran reluctantly fed Feng Yu water. After they finished drinking, the two fell silent, creating an awkward atmosphere.
