After determining the treatment method, Su Xuening spent several days in the bamboo house, giving Mu Junyu acupuncture to remove blood stasis and massaging her head every day.
Under Su Xuening's treatment, the lump in Mu Junyu's head gradually disappeared.
That day, after taking Mu Junyu's pulse, Pei Luo praised Su Xuening, saying, "Girl, your medical skills are getting better and better."
Pei Luo was extremely satisfied with his apprentice, Su Xuening.
This girl's talent in medicine is truly remarkable. In just a few years, she has mastered seventy or eighty percent of his medical skills, which is far more talented than the disciples of their Hundred Flowers Valley.
"Master, the lump in my mother's brain has almost disappeared, so why hasn't she woken up yet?"
Su Xuening was really anxious. She had tried all sorts of methods, but her mother still wouldn't wake up.
Fortunately, she has been able to eat some of the liquid food she was fed these past few days; otherwise, if she had just been sleeping without eating or drinking, she would have starved to death.
Pei Luo had just checked Mu Junyu's pulse and reassured her, "It's alright. Her pulse is fine now. The lump has disappeared and will no longer be pressing on her nerves. Even the injury on her spine has improved a lot after lying down for a few days. I estimate that she should wake up in a few days."
He said he couldn't say exactly when he would wake up, but given the current situation, he would definitely wake up eventually.
Actually, her being in a deep sleep is actually a good thing for her spinal injury. After all, if you injure your spine, you have to rest without moving at all. Being in a deep sleep and not moving at all will help your spine recover faster.
Hearing Pei Luo say that, Su Xuening felt a little relieved.
She had been checking her mother's pulse these past few days, and her mother's pulse was indeed fine. The lump in her brain had also almost disappeared, so she should be waking up soon.
Pei Luo left the bamboo house, and Su Yun'an came running over excitedly: "Master, has Mother woken up?"
"She'll wake up soon." Pei Luo repeated the same sentence, which made Su Yun'an extremely disappointed.
So, Mother is still asleep.
My mother was seriously injured this time. It's all the fault of those two beasts, Su Huiyan and Su Renyi!
Seeing Su Yun'an's disappointed expression, Pei Luo patted his head and said, "This time he's really about to wake up! Your senior sister has healed your mother."
"I'll go check on Mother." Su Yun'an hurried into the house and saw Su Xuening wiping Mu Junyu's face and hands. He went over to help her, asking, "Sister, is Mother about to wake up?"
"It'll be soon." Su Xuening wasn't sure herself, but she still wanted to reassure Su Yun'an.
After Su Xuening finished cleaning up Mu Junyu, Su Yun'an tucked the blanket around Mu Junyu again: "Sister, go and rest for a while. I'll stay and watch over Mother."
Su Xuening smiled, patted his head, and went out.
Su Xuening left the room and, not seeing Xuan Yuanzhan, asked Pei Luo curiously, "Master, where is Xuan Yuanzhan?"
"Who?" Pei Luo didn't react for a moment.
"Ahem~" Su Xuening coughed lightly, feeling awkward, and reminded him, "My lord."
Pei Luo raised an eyebrow in realization. So that kid's name is Xuan Yuanzhan!
“That kid has a few people wandering around outside for a few days. I guess they are his men, so I sent him out to check.”
Su Xuening was stunned.
Have you been wandering around for a few days?
Is it Ye Feng and Ye Yu?
Xuanyuan Zhan has been staying with her in the bamboo house for several days now; perhaps something has happened in the capital!
I wonder what the situation is like in Kyoto now? Su Renyi lost his mother, Su Huiyan is probably going to explode!
And the Dowager Consort must be worried about them too!
"I'll go out and take a look."
Su Xuening was worried, so she followed him out.
It wasn't until they reached the valley outside the Stone Forest that Su Xuening finally saw Xuan Yuanzhan, Ye Yun, and Ye Yu.
"Your Highness." Ye Yun and Ye Yu greeted Su Xuening with a bow.
Xuan Yuanzhan then noticed Su Xuening, turned around and smiled, "Why did you come out?"
Su Xuening walked over, curtsied to Xuan Yuanzhan, and then asked, "Is there something you need?"
"It's Su Renyi..."
"It's nothing."
Ye Yun and Xuan Yuanzhan spoke at the same time, but gave completely different answers.
Su Xuening frowned suddenly: "What's wrong?"
Xuanyuan Zhan glared at Ye Yun.
Ye Yun was flustered and didn't dare to speak when Xuan Yuanzhan glared at him.
Su Xuening frowned, looking at Xuan Yuanzhan with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
Xuan Yuanzhan couldn't stand Su Xuening's gaze, so he quickly coaxed her, "It's nothing serious."
Su Xuening didn't believe him and looked at Ye Yu: "You tell me."
Ye Yu, being Su Xuening's bodyguard, dared not disobey: "The Holy King's Mansion has been attacked by many assassins in the past few days, who should be Su Renyi's men."
Su Xuening's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately asked anxiously, "Is the Dowager Princess alright?"
Seeing Su Xuening's worry, Xuan Yuanzhan quickly reassured her: "It's alright. The Holy King's Mansion isn't a place where just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can barge in. If they try to cause trouble in the Holy King's Mansion, they'll only be asking for trouble!"
Seeing Xuan Yuanzhan's determination, Su Xuening felt a little more at ease, but the thought that Su Renyi still wouldn't let her and her mother go made her want to kill him.
Even if Su Renyi and Su Huiyan don't die, it will be difficult to quell the hatred in her heart!
She originally wanted to take it one step at a time, but now her anger was soaring. This time, she had to teach Su Renyi and Su Huiyan a lesson!
"Don't worry, the Holy King's Mansion not only has me, but also that person protecting her. Bai Fuya will definitely be fine."
Thinking that Su Xuening was still worried about the Prince's Mansion, Xuan Yuanzhan reassured her and then began to shoo everyone away: "Go back now. Tell the Dowager Consort that we will be staying here for a while longer. We are safe, so she doesn't need to worry about us."
Before Ye Yun and the others could reply, Su Xuening said, "Mother is alright now and will probably wake up in a couple of days. I can stay here by myself. Why don't you go back and keep Mother company, Your Highness?"
Although the Holy King's Mansion has many guards and secret agents, and perhaps the Emperor also sends people to guard it, with Xuan Yuanzhan in the mansion, the mansion has an extra backbone, which is better in the end.
There's actually nothing much going on here anymore.
“I already told you she’ll be fine, she doesn’t need me to stay with her.”
How could Xuanyuan Zhan leave her alone? He turned back and shooed them away, saying with displeasure, "Go back, all of you!"
"Will you still participate in the hunting competition two days from now?" Seeing that his master was determined not to return to the palace, Ye Yun asked again with a bitter expression.
"Do you think I have that kind of free time?" Xuan Yuanzhan glared at him unhappily.
How come none of you have any sense of propriety?!
Su Xuening, however, seemed quite interested: "A hunting competition?"
Ye Yun quickly explained, "His Majesty holds a hunting competition every spring and autumn. Isn't it autumn now? This year's hunting competition is the day after tomorrow. In previous years, the Prince was not in the capital at this time, so he rarely participated. This year, the Prince happens to be here, so His Majesty also issued a hunting invitation to the Holy Prince's Mansion!"
Xuanyuan Zhan curled his lip: "What hunting competition? I wasn't interested in it anyway..."
Before Xuan Yuanzhan could finish speaking, a strange light flashed in Su Xuening's cold eyes: "Your Highness must attend this hunting competition!"
