Meng Zhelan released Li Xi, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then carefully examined her face.
Seeing Li Xi's pale face and weak expression, Meng Zhelan felt extremely distressed.
She took Li Xi's hand, placed it on her face, and whispered, "You must take good care of yourself and not make me worry about you anymore."
"Okay, whatever you say, my dear sister." Li Xi forced a smile.
At this moment, Feng Monian came in. When he saw that Li Xi was awake, his tense expression finally relaxed, and a hint of barely perceptible joy flashed in his eyes.
"You're finally awake." Feng Monian's voice was slightly hoarse.
Upon receiving Chen Quan's message, he rushed here without a second thought, not even taking a break. He had exhausted almost all his internal energy, and his body was starting to give out.
Meng Zhelan told Li Xi about his transfer of internal energy.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved. She said weakly, "Thank you so much, Brother Feng. Once I recover, I must thank you properly."
Just then, a large group of people suddenly poured into the room.
Their faces were filled with anxiety and concern, and when they saw that Li Xi had really woken up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Wan Yue, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up: "Alright, now that Xiao Xi has woken up, let's go out first. Don't disturb her rest. Oh, and remember to quickly go to the kitchen and cook her a bowl of soft rice porridge; that will help her recover her strength."
After saying this, Wan Yue turned around and walked out of the room first, and the others followed him out.
Only Li Xi, who had just woken up, remained in the room. She wanted to say a few words to her grandfather. Unexpectedly, he left without saying a word.
However, I do look very haggard now.
You should rest well first and recharge your energy before going to chat with your maternal grandfather.
Ling'er has been staying at home these days and hasn't gone out.
Li Xi has finally woken up, and she is busy personally going to the kitchen to cook porridge.
"Has Xiaoxi woken up?" Chairman Wang rushed over after hearing the news.
At this moment, Meng Zhelan was brewing medicine.
Seeing Wang Lianyi panting, she smiled sheepishly, "Yes, she just woke up. I'm making her medicine now."
Seeing that so many people care about Xiaoxi, Meng Zhelan felt extremely gratified.
"That's great," Chairman Wang sat down next to her, letting out a long sigh of relief. "Tell me, is Xiaoxi really that desperate for a stranger?"
After hearing this, Meng Zhelan also looked helpless.
She shook her head gently and sighed deeply, saying, "Perhaps she had no choice! After all, only she and the Fifth Prince were present at that time. Although Xiaoxi didn't know that the other party was the Fifth Prince, she would still be held accountable afterward if she didn't go to save him!"
It can only be said that a good deed was done by chance, but the price paid was too high.
Just then, the steward rushed into the courtyard and shouted, "Miss, Prince An has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Zhelan and Wang Lianyi were both taken aback, then exchanged a glance, revealing a hint of surprise.
"Looking for you?" Chairman Wang glanced at Meng Zhelan, a playful smile on his face.
Meng Zhelan frowned slightly, a surge of impatience rising within her. She had already said she wouldn't make house calls anymore; there were so many imperial physicians, why did they have to single her out?
Meng Zhelan sighed, knowing there was no escaping it this time. She stood up, straightened her clothes, and said to Chairman Wang, "I'll go check on her. Sister, why don't you go to her room and talk to Xi'er?"
She beckoned Xia Zhi to come and watch the medicine stove, but after hesitating for a moment, she went to the front yard.
As soon as Meng Zhelan stepped into the front yard, she saw Prince An being welcomed in by the steward.
He was dressed in fine clothes, exuding a noble air, and his brows revealed a heroic spirit. However, his face was pale at this moment, clearly indicating that he was not feeling well.
"Your Highness Prince An." Meng Zhelan stepped forward and bowed, trying to keep her tone calm.
When Prince An saw her, a complex look flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He coughed lightly and said, "Doctor Meng, I heard that Young Master Li is injured and unconscious, so I have come to visit him."
Meng Zhelan nodded slightly. "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Xiao Xi has woken up now, but she is weak and cannot come to greet me."
Prince An waved his hand gently, indicating that he did not mind. "Doctor Meng, there is no need for such formality. Young Master Li's health is of utmost importance. Now that he is well, Doctor Meng, do you have time to take a look at me? I have been unable to sleep at night these past few days, and now I only trust you."
Unexpectedly, Prince An is so difficult to deal with that he even came to our door for a medical consultation. We wonder what his purpose is.
However, Meng Zhelan still led him to the hall, gestured for Prince An to sit down, and stood aside, ready to take his pulse.
Her fingers gently rested on Prince An's wrist, and she began to carefully feel his pulse.
As Prince An gazed at her focused and earnest profile, a long-suppressed emotion welled up within him, seemingly about to erupt.
"Doctor Meng, about my illness..." Prince An asked tentatively, his voice tinged with longing and expectation.
Meng Zhelan withdrew her hand, her brows furrowed slightly, as if deep in thought.
After a moment, she spoke, "Your Highness's pulse seems a little weak, and there are also signs of restlessness. Has Your Highness been overworked lately, or is there something on your mind?"
Prince An was slightly taken aback. He sighed softly and said, "Doctor Meng is indeed worthy of his reputation. He can even see this. I have been very troubled lately and have been unable to sleep."
Of course, I was thinking about her. But now wasn't the right time to bring it up.
Meng Zhelan smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness need not worry too much. Having too many worries will naturally affect your health. I will prescribe some medicine for Your Highness to regulate your body. At the same time, Your Highness should try to relax and get more rest."
Prince An nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Doctor Meng. I will do as you instruct."
Meng Zhelan turned to write the prescription, while Prince An sat quietly, his gaze following her every move.
Meng Zhelan handed the prescription to the attendant beside Prince An and instructed, "Go and get the medicine according to this prescription. Take one dose every day for seven consecutive days."
The attendant took the prescription and respectfully replied, "Yes, Doctor Meng," before withdrawing.
Seeing that Prince An was still sitting there motionless, she asked with a puzzled look, "Is there anything else, Your Highness?"
Prince An smiled slightly, stood up, and slowly walked to her, his deep eyes flashing with complex emotions.
"Doctor Meng, you not only possess superb medical skills, but also a kind and understanding heart. There are indeed some things on my mind that I find difficult to say," Prince An's voice was deep and magnetic, seemingly carrying a hint of imperceptible plea.
Meng Zhelan was slightly taken aback.
