Su Wanyan turned around and smiled: "I dare not accept the honor of asking for your advice. It was I who gave the prince the acupuncture."
"Huh?" The old doctor's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but look Su Wanyan up and down.
How could a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl possibly have such exquisite and mature needlework skills?
That's impossible, absolutely impossible.
He studied medicine for half his life and still didn't reach half of that level, how could a mere girl like her possibly?
The old doctor shook his head, somewhat regretfully, and bowed respectfully, saying, "If the Princess does not wish to speak, I understand. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
He knew that some highly skilled doctors would indeed try to avoid being noticed, after all, their hands could bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, and it wouldn't be a good thing if they were targeted by someone with ulterior motives.
The old doctor didn't believe her, and Su Wanyan didn't press the matter. She looked at Wang Zhang and said, "Quickly, give me the money!"
Thinking it over, he asked again, "Do you have any silver?"
These people don't look wealthy. Will they be able to pay for the medical expenses?
She didn't bring any money!
"Yes, yes." Wang Zhang was asked, how could he not have money at this time? Wouldn't that be embarrassing for the prince and princess?
He hurriedly took two taels of silver from his waist pocket and paid.
Two taels of silver was considered generous when everyone was so poor; after all, it was Yu Nanqing's fate, so it wasn't much.
After seeing the old doctor off, Su Wanyan placed her hand on Yu Nanqing's pulse. Just as the old doctor had said, the pulse was steady and the breathing was even.
Su Wanyan hadn't removed the silver needles from Yu Nanqing's chest when she left. Now, she leaned over, pinched one of them between her fingertips, and gently pulled it out.
Yu Nanqing frowned slightly, then returned to calm.
Su Wanyan checked his pulse and found nothing seriously wrong, so she carefully pulled out the remaining few.
Instantly, the blood and qi in Yu Nanqing's body seemed to have found a place to flow, rushing around wildly, and Yu Nanqing's already pale face became even paler.
Su Wanyan remained calm and repositioned several acupoints on him. As the silver needles were inserted, Yu Nanqing's complexion gradually stabilized.
"Your Highness," Wang Zhang, who had held back all night, finally dared to ask, "How... is the Prince?"
"Anyway, she's been saved," Su Wanyan replied.
His condition is much better now than last night. Although he is a bit weak, his life has definitely been saved. As for his health, he can take it easy and recover slowly in the future.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhang's heart, which had been in his throat, finally relaxed a little.
Wei Xiang quickly rented a large carriage, which was lined with soft cushions and had a small heater inside.
Wang Zhang arranged for someone to carry Yu Nanqing onto a carriage on a stretcher and escorted her back to the palace.
Those people sent by Emperor Yuanhe to guard the Prince's Mansion probably received instructions from Emperor Yuanhe, and they really did not stop them.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, Su Wanyan saw Eunuch Liu Rencai.
Originally, Eunuch Liu was following her out of the palace gate, but halfway there, she took advantage of the crowd to slip off the carriage and went into a private residence through a side alley.
Eunuch Liu followed the carriage, circling around for most of the way before realizing that Su Wanyan had already run away. He then had no choice but to wait at the entrance of the Prince's mansion.
Actually, at this point, it wouldn't be a problem to have Liu Rencai come along, since the house would most likely be abandoned in the future anyway.
Su Wanyan just didn't like being followed by them. Liu Rencai was different from those assassins; he was just an ordinary person with no martial arts skills. Su Wanyan could easily shake him off.
Upon seeing Su Wanyan, Liu Rencai stepped forward with a smile: "This servant greets Your Highness. His Majesty is concerned about the Prince's injuries and has specially ordered this servant to come and visit him."
Su Wanyan chuckled: "You come to visit empty-handed? Is it to visit or to find out if the prince's injury is real or fake?"
Liu Rencai's shoulders twitched. Oh no, he had forgotten in his haste!
This ancestor has already caused trouble for the Emperor; we can't let her find any loopholes to exploit.
He hurriedly said, "Look what Your Highness said. The Imperial Household Department is already arranging the gifts for visiting the Prince. They will be delivered shortly. Your Highness, please calm down."
Su Wanyan ignored him and with a wave of her hand, Wang Zhang and the others carried Yu Nanqing into the palace.
Liu Rencai immediately craned his neck and stared wide-eyed at Yu Nanqing lying on the stretcher. Yu Nanqing's face was deathly pale. If Su Wanyan hadn't said in the hall that his injuries were not serious, Liu Rencai would have thought he was dead at first glance.
Seeing Yu Nanqing being carried into the mansion, Liu Rencai hurriedly followed, but Su Wanyan turned around and glared at him: "Eunuch Liu has seen it all and asked all the questions. Shouldn't you go back and report to the Emperor?"
That troublemaker, what does he want to do in the mansion?
What a wicked person!
Liu Rencai had no choice but to force a smile: "These... are the kind people Your Highness was talking about?"
"None of your business." Su Wanyan said those four words, then turned and left without looking back.
Liu Rencai choked on his words.
This... damn it!
This is outrageous! It's really outrageous!
He was, after all, a high-ranking eunuch serving the emperor. Who in the palace would dare to disrespect him? This shameless hussy was simply... utterly outrageous!
Liu Rencai looked displeased and turned to leave, full of resentment.
They traveled without any obstacles, and even the soldiers at the gate of the Prince's mansion had been quietly replaced at some point.
After Yu Nanqing was carried into the main courtyard, Su Wanyan also rushed over.
She hurried into the house with a serious expression, her mind filled with only two words—sleep!
She wants to sleep! She's so sleepy! She's so tired! She wants to sleep!!!
They saw Yu Nanqing being carefully carried onto the bed, and then Su Wanyan rushed in. They bowed and were about to say something when Su Wanyan gave the order first: "You all get out."
Su Wanyan's order was given hastily, and these people assumed she was in a hurry to treat the prince, so they dared not delay and immediately retreated like a tide, making sure to close the door behind them.
Su Wanyan ran to the side room, moved out the chaise lounge, kicked her legs, closed her eyes, and lay down on it to sleep!
A dog's life is more important!
She can't die suddenly again!
However, she couldn't keep her eyes closed for long before she couldn't help but look up at Yu Nanqing lying on the bed...
The silver needles were inserted into his body, but at such a close distance, he couldn't feel his breathing, and even the rise and fall of his chest was barely perceptible.
"..."
After struggling for a long time, Su Wanyan clicked her tongue, got up, plopped down on the edge of the bed, grabbed his wrist, tilted her head, and fell asleep.
Su Wanyan slept for a whole day.
It was completely dark outside, and no one knew what time it was. It was pitch black all around, and no one came in to light the candles.
Normally, a sliver of moonlight would still shine in at night, but tonight there was no moon, and it was truly pitch black.
"Hmm..."
In the darkness, Yu Nanqing on the bed suddenly made a soft sound.
He frowned, struggling to open his eyes, but an invisible pressure seemed to be stopping him, and he couldn't succeed no matter how hard he tried.
He gritted his teeth, hardened his mind, and the next second, his eyes snapped open!
