These past few days, Shen Yunjiao has been going to the palace in the morning and returning to Wen'anzhai in the afternoon.
During her time at Wen'anzhai, in addition to receiving guests, she devoted herself to researching how to perform safe surgical procedures in simple environments.
"The anesthetic is ready, the instruments are prepared, and the operating room is ready," Shen Yunjiao murmured to herself as she walked.
Just as she was about to go up the escalator to the second floor, Zhu Ye rushed over, "Miss Chen, something terrible has happened! His Highness has fainted, and Imperial Physician Jiang wants you to go back immediately."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunjiao panicked and said, "I'll be right there."
Tomorrow is clearly the day to remove the Gu worm, so why did he faint today?
Shen Yunjiao nervously boarded the carriage and followed Xiao Linzi into the imperial city.
As soon as she entered Feihua Palace, Imperial Physician Jiang was waiting for her. "Miss Chen, you've arrived."
"Imperial Physician, when I came to administer acupuncture to His Majesty today, his pulse was steady and normal. Why did His Majesty suddenly faint this afternoon?" Shen Yunjiao asked, frowning.
Physician Jiang led her to Xiao Huaijin's bedside, took out his hand and gestured for Shen Yunjiao to take his pulse, saying, "Look, his pulse is unusually restless now. I guess the Gu worms can no longer stay in His Majesty's body."
"So, what does Physician Jiang mean?" Shen Yunjiao asked, raising her eyes.
"The Empress Dowager has arrived." Empress Xiao led a large entourage of palace servants into the hall. She hurriedly called out, "Is Jin'er alright?"
Shen Yunjiao and Physician Jiang both knelt down.
Madam Xiao glanced at the two of them, raised her hand and said, "Get up quickly, I just want to know when Jin'er will wake up."
"It can only be tonight." After giving Shen Yunjiao a deep look, Physician Jiang said slowly, "Miss Shen must remove the Gu worm tonight."
Xiao was startled and hurriedly asked, "Will Jin'er be able to wake up once the Gu worms are drawn out?"
"Your Majesty, it is as follows," Physician Jiang replied respectfully.
Madam Xiao exhaled and looked at Shen Yunjiao indifferently, "Madam Shen, I was wrong in the past. As long as you are willing to help Jin'er this time, I will definitely not make things difficult for you in the future."
Shen Yunjiao had nothing to say to her, only nodding indifferently, "This subject understands."
Since we are going to help Xiao Huaijin get the Gu worm, we have to wait until the moon is bright and the stars are few.
Physician Jiang had prepared medicine to clear Xiao Huaijin's meridians in advance. After Xiao Huaijin took the medicine, he led everyone away from Feihua Palace.
Shen Yunjiao carefully examined Xiao Huaijin's wrist and, after confirming the location of the Gu worm, carefully cut open Xiao Huaijin's arm. At the same time, she bit her own middle finger and placed it on the wound to lure the Gu worm out.
The worms slowly crawled out, drawn by the scent of their original host.
Xiao Huaijin trembled violently.
Shen Yunjiao quickly bandaged his wound with gauze and then gave him acupuncture for a while.
It wasn't until half an incense stick had burned out that Xiao Huaijin slowly woke up.
He stared blankly at Shen Yunjiao for a moment before uttering two words, "Jiaojiao".
Shen Yunjiao finally felt relieved. She let out a heavy sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Huaijin, saying, "It's good that you didn't forget me this time."
Just as Xiao Huaijin was about to speak, a sharp pain swept over him, and his heart trembled.
Xiao Huaijin sat up, frowned, and then a wave of memories suddenly washed over him.
He remembered.
The various things he did to Shen Yunjiao after he lost his memory.
Xiao Huaijin looked at the woman in front of him, suppressed the dull pain in his chest, and hugged her tightly.
"Jiaojiao, I remember everything."
His voice trembled, his face turned deathly pale, and his hands holding Shen Yunjiao trembled slightly.
"Xiao Huaijin, calm down first, be careful of your wrist injury," Shen Yunjiao hurriedly called out.
Xiao Huaijin took a deep breath and it took him a lot of effort to finally release Shen Yunjiao.
He looked at Shen Yunjiao, smelling her familiar fragrance, and gently brushed aside the stray hairs that fell across her forehead. "Your hair has grown longer."
Xiao Huaijin said in a low voice, staring at Shen Yunjiao's dark and bright eyes, which were as clear as obsidian, and a feeling of having lost something and then regained it spread in his heart.
Shen Yunjiao chuckled, "Didn't you see him today?"
“That’s different,” Xiao Huaijin replied cautiously, gently placing a kiss on Shen Yunjiao’s brow.
Shen Yunjiao felt her heart burning and her eyes reddened.
"You almost lost me," Shen Yunjiao said softly, her tone tinged with resentment.
"It's my fault." Xiao Huaijin repeated this sentence over and over again. "You can hit me or scold me, but you can't say you're leaving me again."
Shen Yunjiao sighed, "It can't all be your fault. Being poisoned by Gu carries the risk of amnesia."
"Poisoning?" Xiao Huaijin widened his eyes slightly as he looked at Shen Yunjiao.
Shen Yujiao sat up straight and recounted from beginning to end how she detoxified him.
Xiao Huaijin was so shocked he couldn't speak. After a long silence, he finally asked, "Why did you do something so dangerous?"
"It's not dangerous. I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? Besides, now that your poison is finally gone, I can finally relax," Shen Yunjiao said gently.
Xiao Huaijin closed his eyes briefly, then gently pulled her into his arms again.
He is now speechless, and the emotion he feels is indescribable.
He dared not think about it at all, not even a little bit.
How did Shen Yunjiao get through this period?
Fortunately, she has regained her memories and will no longer be harmed.
Hearing Xiao Huaijin's strong heartbeat, Shen Yunjiao gently comforted him, "It's all over now, don't be sad."
Xiao Huaijin said in a deep voice, "Shen Yunjiao, I am now the emperor, and I want to marry you."
Shen Yunjiao suddenly became a little shy. She pursed her lips and stammered, "You...you really mean it?"
"Jiaojiao, I not only want to marry you, but I also want to announce to the world that I will only marry you! I will not hold any imperial concubine selection, nor will I take any other concubines. In my heart, I only want to be with you."
Xiao Huaijin's attitude was very serious, making Shen Yunjiao's heart pound. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Xiao Huaijin, but what will happen to my clinic if I become Empress?"
Xiao Huaijin's calm and reassuring voice came from above, "Jiaojiao, I have married you, but I do not wish to restrict you. From now on, you are free to do whatever you want."
With Xiao Huaijin's assurance, Shen Yunjiao felt immediately at ease.
She smiled and said, "If that's really the case, then I'll reluctantly agree."
After saying that, Shen Yunjiao was too embarrassed to even look at him, and rolled into the bed.
Xiao Huaijin looked at his beloved woman with doting eyes, then lowered the bed curtains and slowly leaned down.
I had a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, Xiao Huaijin summoned Xiao Linzi and said, "Xiao Linzi, draft the imperial edict."
