Just as he was about to say something, Su Wanyan interrupted him: "Yu Nanqing, would you like to come with me to the family banquet in the palace?"
Yu Nanqing trembled, then lowered his head in disbelief and gave a bitter smile: "Su Wanyan, you must be joking... How can I go looking like this?"
"Just tell me, are you going or not?" Su Wanyan looked at him intently.
Yu Nanqing was slightly taken aback. He thought Su Wanyan was joking, but when he saw her serious expression, he fell silent.
After a long silence, he finally uttered a single word: "Go."
"Alright, you have ten more days. Just focus on getting better and leave the rest to me."
"..."
After dinner, Su Wanyan helped Yu Nanqing lie down on his side and gave him an acupressure massage on his legs before returning to her room to rest.
The next day, early in the morning.
When Su Chien was about to leave, Su Wanyan told him to take the imperial silver to a place that specializes in refining imperial silver and register it, since going to the black market all the time would inevitably give people something to hold against him.
Just as Su Chien left and Su Wanyan was about to return to her room, Xu Si brought in breakfast.
"Your Majesty." Su Wanyan turned around and saw Xu Si handing over breakfast: "Breakfast is ready."
Su Wanyan took the tray, and then Xu Si pointed to a yellow palace invitation on the tray and said, "Your Majesty, this is an invitation from the palace."
"knew."
Su Wanyan carried the tray inside, and Yu Nanqing, who had been keeping his eyes closed, slowly woke up.
Or perhaps he was actually awake, just habitually keeping his eyes closed.
Su Wanyan put down the tray, picked up the imperial invitation on it, opened it, and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh—" She then spread the invitation out in front of Yu Nanqing: "You were right. It's an imperial invitation from the Emperor, asking me to attend a banquet at the palace on the day of the Earth God Festival."
Su Wanyan gave him a thumbs up: "You're incredibly insightful."
Yu Nanqing didn't react much and slowly closed her eyes again.
Su Wanyan patted his shoulder: "Don't sleep. I'll feed you something. We'll continue with the acupuncture today. Starting today, you'll need to have it twice a day, morning and evening. You have to cooperate with me."
As he spoke, he reached out and helped Yu Nanqing up.
Yu Nanqing remained silent, obediently letting her do as she pleased. She would eat when she told him to, and lie still when she told him to.
Now that things had come to this, he was too lazy to resist anymore, because he knew that no matter what he said, Su Wanyan would not listen to him.
After Su Wanyan administered the acupuncture, he could clearly feel that his breathing was much smoother, but that was all. He still did not believe that his broken body could recover.
After settling Yu Nanqing in, Su Wanyan tidied herself up and left the mansion.
As usual, she was watched by four maids, but she didn't care, since what she was doing wasn't anything shameful.
She first went to the clinic and got some traditional Chinese medicine to replenish qi and promote blood circulation for Da Nannan's mother, including ingredients such as angelica, chuanxiong, rhubarb, peony bark, and earthworm.
As for Yu Nanqing, since his body is too weak right now, and all medicines have side effects, it's easy for him to become a walking pharmacy. Therefore, the best treatment for Yu Nanqing at this stage is still dietary therapy.
First, ensure the body receives the necessary nutrients. Once the body has recovered sufficiently, then you can give him traditional Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and relieve menstrual cramps.
Guided by her memory, Su Wanyan walked through the streets and alleys, finally stopping in front of Da Nannan's house and knocking on the door.
The door opened quickly, and a little girl of about four or five years old entered. Su Wanyan was taken aback: "Hello, I..."
Just as I was wondering how to tell her, I saw the little girl dash back to her room: "Mother, it's Princess Consort!"
From the doorway, Su Wanyan saw her little head bury itself in the old woman's arms.
"Oh my! The Empress is here!" The old woman was flattered and lifted the quilt to get out of bed.
Su Wanyan hurriedly stepped into the house: "No, no, no, Auntie, please lie down, no need to bow."
"This humble woman has been rude; I hope Your Majesty will not take offense."
"How could that be?" Su Wanyan put all the medicine packets on the table and smiled, "I didn't have anything to do today, so I came to deliver some medicine to the old lady. This is a seven-day supply. I will come again after seven days."
"How could I trouble Your Highness?" The old woman's pale face was full of apology.
"No trouble at all, it's all the Prince's orders." Su Wanyan looked around: "Where's Da Nannan?"
“A couple of days ago, my husband went up the mountain to collect some herbs. I asked my eldest daughter to take them to sell for some money. Only my youngest daughter and I are at home. I hope Your Majesty will forgive us.”
"No, that's not true." Su Wanyan smiled. "How is your aunt's health?"
"Thanks to Your Majesty, I am much better now."
"That's good."
Despite saying that, Su Wanyan still took her pulse. From her appearance, the old lady's spirits did seem to have improved, but her pulse did not change much.
It's normal that there haven't been any changes since it's only been a short time; taking care of one's health is a very time-consuming process.
Su Wanyan didn't stay long. Before leaving, she gave the old lady a few more acupuncture treatments, and the old lady's complexion improved even more instantly.
After saying goodbye to the old lady, Su Wanyan wandered around the capital, buying whatever food or toys she saw. Finally, she went into a carpenter's shop.
After talking with the carpenter in the carpentry shop for nearly half an hour, Su Wanyan leisurely returned to her residence.
The main courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.
When Su Wanyan returned with bags and packages, she saw Xu Si squatting on the steps in front of the house, lost in thought.
Its round, plump body seemed to be crushing the steps, and it didn't even notice that Su Wanyan had already walked in.
"Xu Si," Su Wanyan called out, "What are you doing?"
Xu Si suddenly snapped out of his daze and hurriedly stood up from the steps: "Mother... Your Majesty is back?"
He wore a fawning smile.
Seeing that Su Wanyan was carrying many bags, he hurriedly stepped forward to help her. Su Wanyan did not refuse, stepped into the main hall, poured herself a glass of water and drank it down in one gulp.
Xu Si looked at Su Wanyan with a forced smile and said, "Um... Your Highness, could you please let me see what the antidote looks like? I haven't been feeling well these past few days, and I'm scared..."
Su Wanyan glanced at Xu Si, and saw that Xu Si's head trembled and he dared not speak.
Su Wanyan put down her water glass, flicked her sleeves, sat down in the armchair, and beckoned to him: "Come here."
Xu Si craned his neck and took two steps closer, when he heard Su Wanyan say, "Give me your hand."
Xu Si hesitated for a moment, but still reached out his hand.
Su Wanyan placed her fingers on his pulse, her brows twitching slightly. Xu Si's pulse was deep and weak, with signs of stagnation and congestion. Looking at his plump figure, Su Wanyan couldn't help but say, "You should lose some weight."
Being overweight is bad for your health.
"What?" Xu Si didn't react at first.
"It's nothing." Su Wanyan looked at his face again, from left to right. "Has the injury on your face healed?"
