"Yes, His Majesty went there in person." The staff looked at Shang Lu with a stiff face and sighed deeply in their hearts. Since Princess Nan's accident, they, the royal staff, have never really felt at ease for a day. Before the real princess ascended the throne, everyone was afraid that the real princess would not be able to perform the duties of a princess. Unexpectedly, their premonition came true. From the day of the coronation, they lived a life of uncertainty and worry...
However, no one was as worried as Shang Lu. The staff member looked at the green in Shang Lu's eyes, and a flash of pity flashed across his eyes, "... I'll go get busy first."
"Yes, thank you, goodbye." Shang Lu pulled the corner of his mouth to say goodbye.
He originally thought that Zhenzhen would be able to appear at the reception and celebration for foreign guests in the afternoon. As long as she was completely hidden, things would gradually get better. After all, the public forgets a lot. Moreover, Zhenzhen was a princess. As long as the attitude of the royal family was clear, the media and everyone would not be too presumptuous and keep mentioning Zhenzhen's past.
Unexpectedly, Her Majesty the Queen attended in person.
Shang Lu walked to Helian Zhen's room with heavy steps, stood for a moment, waiting for a smile to appear on his face before knocking on the door. He saw Helian Zhen, whose eyes were red and swollen, bloodshot, pale face, blue eyes, and haggard appearance.
Two days, just two days, Helian Zhen's originally round chin became pointed, and he knew that she couldn't bear such pressure...
"Mom...what did you say?" Helian Zhen's timid voice interrupted Shang Lu's thoughts. Looking at her hopeful eyes, Shang Lu could not maintain the smile on his face.
"Her Majesty the Queen went in person on your behalf."
"Mom... you still can't forgive me." Helian Zhen's tears fell like raindrops that had fallen off the line. "I really didn't expect my sister to be a doctor. I didn't know that cousin Hui'er would be like that. I didn't treat my sister badly..."
"I didn't go to court because my father didn't let me go. I didn't steal her position as princess. I was impatient because everyone kept mentioning her, and A Lu... you said those weird things to her... I didn't treat my sister badly... I always liked her, and I felt so sad when she got into trouble... I cried so much... A Lu... you know..."
"I know." Shang Lu hugged Helian Zhen, who was crying out of breath, and closed his eyes to comfort her, "I know..."
Zhenzhen is more selfish than Zhu Jin, but she was brought up as a baby, so it is inevitable that she has a little temper and is selfish. However, she is kind-hearted and does not have the dirty thoughts that outsiders speculate.
"Mom must be dissatisfied with my performance and no longer believes me, but I really tried hard to learn from my sister." Helian Zhen finally stopped crying, but still couldn't let it go. "I watched the video of my sister receiving foreign guests several times, and also carefully studied and practiced the alien language that I hated the most before, but Mom still doesn't believe me..."
"Don't worry, she will let you attend the event soon, you just need to continue practicing the alien language..." Shang Lu paused for a moment as the thought flashed through his mind, his eyes flickering.
No, no, even though he said that, he couldn't do that, that was Zhu Jin, that was Zhu Jin... Shang Lu shook his head, getting rid of the thoughts in his mind.
"Zhenzhen, we should not only learn from your sister, but also from Her Majesty the Queen. See how she receives foreign guests. She is even better than your sister." Shang Lu looked at Helian Zhen who was in a daze again and diverted her attention.
As he watched, Helian Zhen burst into tears again and cried silently. Shang Lu held his forehead while watching the video.
"…The real princess has not been in good health since she was a child. She is exhausted from preparing for the coronation ceremony. She may need to rest for a while. I don’t know when she will be better…"
How could such a statement be allowed? Looking at Helian Zhen with a red nose and red eyes, Shang Lu closed his eyes, and the thoughts that Ren Cai had forced to shake off returned again. "…Actually, Zhenzhen, I have a way to help you get out of your sister's shadow." Shang Lu finally spoke in a low and difficult voice.
“…right…is it very bad for my sister?” Helian Zhen’s eyes flashed with surprise, and then he asked hesitantly.
"A little bit, but fortunately, there shouldn't be any impact when she gets out of prison." Shang Lu smiled. He had seen the news that Zhu Jin was going to the hospital for a test this morning. As long as Zhu Jin passed the test, Zhen Zhen's 'illness' might be prolonged indefinitely.
He absolutely couldn't let this happen.
"No, no." On the other side of the hospital, before Dr. Qin spoke, Dr. Nan rejected Zhu Jin's request, "Ms. Lian Nan, you are not qualified to treat such a critically ill patient, even if you don't even have a medical license. It's no use trying."
Compared to the family members, Dr. Nan noticed the former Princess Nan as soon as he arrived at the scene, and rejected her proposal without hesitation.
"Isn't this Princess Nan?"
"Why is Princess Nan here?" Only after Zhu Jin spoke did the crowd notice Zhu Jin, who was wearing white clothes and hidden among the group of doctors and nurses.
"Princess Nan, what's wrong with you?" Xiaonan's mother, who had finally stopped crying, stared at Zhu Jin in a daze. Compared to other people, Xiaonan's mother, who was at the bottom of society and struggling for a living, was not disappointed with Zhu Jin. She just felt sorry for her. After all, in her opinion, it was normal for Princess Nan to react like that when her husband did something like that, but it was a pity that she had to go to jail.
She still respects and loves this princess who has always been loved by people.
"Doctor Qin, Xiaonan's mother, let me try auxiliary treatment before using specific medicine. I see that the child's temperature has been decreasing, but the body temperature is still rising, as if the heat can't be dissipated. If we open up the orifices and release the heat, maybe it will be effective." Zhu Jin saw the expression of Doctor Nan and knew that she was firmly opposed to it, so she said directly to Qin Jue and Xiaonan's mother.
"Princess Nan, do you have any way to cool down?" The crowd immediately asked after hearing Zhu Jin's words. They crowded at the door and looked at Zhu Jin with hot eyes. Aunt Li, who was standing at the front, suddenly widened her eyes.
"Aren't you... a princess? How could it be..." Xiaonan's mother was very confused because her daughter didn't pay any attention to the news from the outside world. She looked to Qin Ju for help, with hope in her eyes.
"How are you going to provide auxiliary treatment?" Qin Ju frowned slightly, looked at Xiao Nan and then at Zhu Jin.
"It's just a simple bleeding, it will only take a minute or two." Zhu Jin raised his hands and pointed at his fingers, "For children with sore throat and fever, quickly prick the Shaoshang and Shangyang points to squeeze out a few drops of blood, which can help to release the internal heat and toxins, and to open the orifices and release the heat."
"Squeeze some blood from your finger to reduce the fever?" Qin Jue hadn't responded yet, but Doctor Nan couldn't believe it and looked at Zhu Jin as if she was joking. "Ms. Lian Nan, you are too fanciful!"
“…How…Why is this the method…”
“…I thought you were going to talk about some medicine…” The crowd watching also sighed and looked at Zhu Jin with strange eyes.
“Maybe it works… I’ve seen Miss Lian Nan’s videos, her treatment methods are weird, but magical…” Someone else spoke up for Zhu Jin, but was quickly refuted.
"Hasn't it been verified yet? Isn't it still under testing? No one knows whether it works or not..."
“That’s right…”
People around were talking about it, and Xiaonan's mother's face darkened again, "Thank you... Princess Nan..." She didn't dare to let the doctor, who had not passed the test and did not have a medical qualification certificate, to see Xiaonan, even if it was Princess Nan.
"It's time to try everything. There's nothing wrong with giving it a try. Maybe it works." Zhu Jin listened and watched. Without waiting for Qin Ju to speak, he suddenly chuckled and looked up at Xiaonan's mother. His voice was still calm, but his words were blunt. "There are less than fifteen minutes left. In Xiaonan's last moments of health, shouldn't we grab the last straw? Xiaonan's mother!"
She spoke every word in a voice that was neither too high nor too low. It was so rude and outrageous, but she said it without changing her expression. Everyone looked at Zhu Jin in shock. No one could connect her with the former Princess Nan.
The room was filled with silence. Basil suddenly turned his head to look at Zhu Jin, his face full of surprise.
