Upon hearing this, Yu Nanqing smiled.
It was a smile of relief, realizing that her departure didn't necessarily mean separating from him.
"What are you laughing at?" Su Wanyan frowned. "You're not mocking me, are you? Mocking me for being too naive?"
"I'm just... happy."
"He gets angry one minute and happy the next, it's all so strange."
On the tenth day of the eleventh lunar month, a temple fair was held at Miaotong Mountain. The princess and her husband went to the temple fair to worship and pray for blessings.
They were going to stay at Miaotong Mountain for three days.
This move attracted many people to the temple fair to catch a glimpse of the princess and her husband. Moreover, as the New Year approached, many people would also go to the temple fair to pray for blessings.
In addition, daughters of noble families who wanted to curry favor with the princess would also find an excuse to go to Miaotong Mountain on this day, making the road from the capital to Miaotong Mountain bustling with activity.
When Su Wanyan found out, she simply nodded without much reaction.
During this time, she focused solely on giving Yu Nanqing acupuncture and massage, and recently added a foot bath.
She prepared the medicine and boiled it into a decoction, so that Yu Nanqing could soak in it every night.
Yu Nanqing, who hadn't felt anything before, suddenly felt a burning pain in her legs in the early hours of the winter solstice, as if they were on fire.
No, it's less about pain and more about numbness.
"Su Wanyan... Tanaka..." Yu Nanqing was in unbearable pain from this discomfort when it was already the early morning hours.
Su Wanyan didn't sleep soundly tonight. As soon as Yu Nanqing made a sound, she got up from the side room and ran over: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
A dim candle was left lit in the room.
After Su Wanyan arrived, Tanaka's somewhat anxious voice immediately rang out from outside the door: "Is Your Highness feeling unwell?"
"It hurts..." Yu Nanqing covered his thigh with his hand, his furrowed brows revealing barely concealed excitement, and uttered a single word.
The pain felt like being gnawed by ants, a tingling, numb sensation that made his entire lower body feel extremely uncomfortable.
Su Wanyan lifted his blanket, placed her hand on his leg, and squeezed it: "Can you feel it?"
Yu Nanqing nodded tremblingly, her voice trembling with excitement.
"Yes..." He could really...feel Su Wanyan touching his leg...
Su Wanyan reached out and touched his pulse. The blood and qi that had been stagnant under his legs seemed to suddenly flow, causing the acupoints and muscles that had been stagnant for many years to be unable to adapt for a while.
In addition, she has been quite aggressive with Yu Nanqing lately, whether it's acupuncture or medication.
She called out to the outside, "Tanaka, go and call Akiha and Yoru in."
"yes."
Su Wanyan helped Yu Nanqing lie down and comforted him to relax. When Qiu Ye and Huang Ye came in, Su Wanyan asked them to light other candles and prepare hot water, alcohol, and other supplies.
I opened the acupuncture kit and used silver needles to guide the qi, slowly relieving the nerves in his legs.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Yu Nanqing's brows gradually relaxed.
Su Wanyan observed his expression, then removed the silver needles appropriately and pressed his acupoints with her fingers: "Can you feel anything?"
“Yes…” Yu Nanqing’s tone was filled with unspeakable emotions.
"Try to see if you can move it."
Yu Nanqing struggled to move her legs, which were sore and weak. She used almost all her strength, but in the end, she could only move less than half an inch.
But even just that half inch had brought tears to Yu Nanqing's eyes. He looked at Su Wanyan with trembling eyes, excited and thrilled: "Su Wanyan..."
Joy filled my entire body, yet I could not express it.
His bloodshot eyes seemed to reflect his inner turmoil.
Su Wanyan smiled and said, "Very good, very good."
Su Wanyan patted his leg gently, as if coaxing a child: "Don't get excited. You're not fully recovered yet. Are you still feeling unwell?"
“No…” Yu Nanqing listened to Su Wanyan’s words, adjusted her breathing, and obediently shook her head.
"That's good. It's already past midnight, you should get some more sleep."
Yu Nanqing suddenly grasped Su Wanyan's hand; how could he possibly sleep now? "Could you stay with me?"
"No." Su Wanyan tucked the blanket around him. "Before it gets light, I have some things to say. I'll have Tanaka come in and keep you company later."
Yu Nanqing frowned. What did he need Tanaka, a grown man, to accompany him for?
After Su Wanyan finished speaking, she left the room decisively.
Autumn Leaves and Yellow Leaves followed them out.
Yu Nanqing: "..."
Main courtyard, main hall.
Su Wanyan summoned Wang Zhang in the middle of the night.
It was Tanaka who went to fetch Wang Zhang. Tanaka only knew that something had happened to the prince, and Su Wanyan told him to come over immediately.
Startled, Wang Zhang didn't even have time to put on his clothes; he just threw on an outer robe and hurriedly came to the main courtyard.
Lifting the curtain that kept out the cold, Wang Zhang stepped forward and bowed: "I didn't know Your Highness was in such a hurry to summon this old servant. Has something happened to the Prince?"
urgent?
No rush, it's not even dawn yet, there's still plenty of time.
What could possibly happen to Yu Nanqing?
She asked Tanaka to call Wang Zhang. What exactly did Tanaka say?
"Don't worry, Master Wang. Nothing's wrong. Even if something did happen, it would be a good thing," Su Wanyan said with a smile.
"Huh?" Wang Zhang was confused: "Good news?"
"Yes, just now, Yu Nanqing regained feeling in her leg. Isn't that a good thing?"
"Ah!?" Wang Zhang exclaimed in shock, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Your Majesty, what did you say?"
He stepped forward excitedly: "Your Highness's leg...?"
Su Wanyan chuckled: "Master Wang, why are you so surprised? Don't you know? Otherwise, what do you think I've been treating Yu Nanqing for all this time?"
"No...Your Majesty..." Wang Zhang's hands trembled, and he was momentarily incoherent. Suddenly, he knelt down before Su Wanyan with a thud: "Your Majesty...Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty..."
He kept kowtowing, unsure how to thank Su Wanyan.
Yes, he would be her slave for the rest of his life, and he would have no complaints even if it meant his death!
Su Wanyan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Master Wang, please get up quickly."
Tears streamed down Wang Zhang's face unexpectedly. They had never imagined that Yu Nanqing's leg could heal. Still in disbelief, they looked up and asked, "Your Highness... will you be able to stand up again in the future?"
Su Wanyan smiled and said, "I know Master Wang is very excited right now, but this is not the time to be excited. Please get up and speak."
"Yes! Yes!" Upon hearing this, Wang Zhang quickly wiped away his tears and composed himself.
After he got up, Su Wanyan sat back down and said, "The fact that Yu Nanqing's legs have regained feeling is currently known only to you, me, Tanaka, Qiuye, and Huangye. You must not reveal it to anyone else."
Although the people in the manor were all bought by Wang Zhang, Su Wanyan did not expect them to be very loyal.
Everyone says that Yu Nanqing has been paralyzed for three years and there is no cure.
The sudden news that Yu Nanqing had regained feeling in his legs, whether true or not, was a strange occurrence in the capital.
Those who hear about it will try their best to find out everything, and those who don't know will also speculate even more as the story spreads by word of mouth.
