Chapter 99 Even if he were dead, would she still be so calm?
The Xinghe Courtyard was brightly lit, and the three imperial physicians took turns examining Xiao Qingyuan's pulse before discussing how to prescribe medicine.
After the three wrote out the prescriptions, Princess Ning was still not at ease, so she specially asked Shen Wantang to take another look. Only after Shen Wantang nodded and said that the prescriptions were very suitable did she order someone to get the medicine.
The three imperial physicians looked at each other in bewilderment.
They never expected that this princess consort, whom Prince Xiao disliked so much, would be trusted so much by Princess Ning, to the point that even getting medicine required her approval.
After examining Xiao Qingyuan, the imperial physician also examined Mo Ji. When he was discovered, he had been protecting Xiao Qingyuan fiercely, and his injuries were much more severe than Xiao Qingyuan's.
Besides the two of them, a young woman was also found at the scene, unconscious, and she was also brought back by Prince Ning.
Prince Ning felt that it was no coincidence that the woman was there, and that it would be necessary to interrogate her after she woke up.
For several days in a row, the gates of the Prince Ning's mansion remained tightly closed.
Rumors about Xiao Qingyuan's death are spreading like wildfire.
Princess Ning was extremely anxious: "Why hasn't Yuan'er woken up yet? Didn't they say he had already passed the critical period? Tang'er, why don't you give Yuan'er a couple of acupuncture needles? See if you can wake him up."
Shen Wantang nodded: "Then let my daughter-in-law give it a try."
She was actually very good at using acupuncture to stimulate acupoints to wake up comatose people, and even good at bringing back the life of the dying. In her previous life, she learned acupuncture in order to wake up some seriously injured and comatose people and ask them for some valuable clues.
However, she never performed acupuncture on Xiao Qingyuan because he could indeed wake up on his own, and forcibly stimulating him to wake up would cause him a lot of pain.
However, since her mother-in-law had a request, she naturally complied. After all, it seemed that Xiao Qingyuan didn't want to live a good life anymore, so he should suffer more.
Shen Wantang asked Du Juan to fetch her some silver needles. She sat down next to Xiao Qingyuan and inserted the needles one after another.
Fifteen minutes later, Xiao Qingyuan opened his eyes.
Prince Ning and Princess Ning were both startled. They hadn't expected that Shen Wantang could actually wake up Xiao Qingyuan!
The two rushed forward with joy: "Yuan'er, you're finally awake!"
"Yuan'er, do you feel unwell anywhere?"
It took Xiao Qingyuan a while to realize where he was. He asked in a hoarse voice, "I'm not dead?"
Princess Ning burst into tears instantly: "So close, Yuan'er, if your father had arrived any later, you might have..."
Prince Ning, his eyes also red, said, "You were lucky to escape death this time, but you won't be so lucky next time. Yuan'er, you must never risk your life for a woman again!"
Xiao Qingyuan then remembered what had happened before he lost consciousness. His head and body ached, which must have been caused by the collapse of the building.
However, besides him and Mo Ji, there was also a young woman inside at the time.
He couldn't help but ask, "Father, when you found me, did you see a woman?"
"have."
"How is she now? Has Father managed to save her?"
Prince Ning's expression immediately turned sour, and even his previously reddened eyes were no longer red: "She's been saved, she's alright, and she's staying at the Prince's residence now. Why are you always thinking about these women? Shouldn't you be concerned about yourself first? Shouldn't you comfort your mother? She hasn't slept for three days and three nights because of you!"
"What? I've been unconscious for three days?"
Princess Ning cried bitterly: "Yuan'er, if it weren't for the Crown Princess giving you acupuncture and waking you up, you might have continued to be unconscious. You really scared me this time. I was so afraid that you would never wake up again."
Xiao Qingyuan then remembered that he had a princess consort. He turned his head slightly and saw Shen Wantang standing to the side.
She remained as calm, composed, quiet, and serene as ever.
When he woke up, his father and mother were very excited and both rushed to talk to him. However, Shen Wantang's face showed no excitement whatsoever. She didn't seem to want to talk to him either. She stood behind her mother, neither taking credit nor interrupting.
Xiao Qingyuan even wondered if she would remain this calm even if he died.
Thinking about this, he felt a little uncomfortable—his princess consort really didn't take him seriously at all.
Xiao Qingyuan turned his face away, no longer looking at Shen Wantang.
His mother was crying so hard, it was clear that she was the one who truly cared for him. He hadn't realized it before, but now, compared to Shen Wantang, he finally felt that his mother was better.
He comforted Princess Ning, saying, "Mother, don't cry. This was just an accident. I will be more careful in the future."
"How do you know this was an accident? Maybe someone deliberately set a trap for you? Your father sent people to search the entire capital, but they couldn't find the person who led you to the dangerous building. That's very strange, don't you understand?"
Xiao Qingyuan endured the severe headache and said in a hoarse voice, "It was indeed an accident. I was originally going to find Yuan Zheng. I exposed some of Yuan Zheng's dirty deeds and even got into a fight with him. Yuan Zheng couldn't beat me and ran away in fear. When I chased after him, I saw someone bullying a woman. The woman was wearing a white dress and her long hair was tied up with a white ribbon. She looked a lot like Yan Luo."
"The man forcibly dragged the woman into the carriage and then sped away. I thought Yanluo had been kidnapped, so I took Moji and chased after them. When we caught up, there was only the woman left in the dilapidated building; the man was gone."
"The collapse of the building was caused by the woman trying to commit suicide and hitting a pillar; it had nothing to do with anyone else."
After hearing this, Princess Ning and Prince Ning exchanged a glance, both seeing doubt in each other's eyes.
Clearly, they didn't believe that such a coincidence could happen in the world, and that this matter must be related to Yuan Zheng.
However, Xiao Qingyuan has just woken up, so it's not appropriate for him to say too much.
After saying a few more words, Princess Ning told her son to rest well, and then left with Prince Ning.
Before leaving, Princess Ning specifically instructed Shen Wantang to take good care of Xiao Qingyuan.
Shen Wantang respectfully agreed and stayed in the room.
She looked at Xiao Qingyuan lying on the bed and asked him, "Does Your Highness need anything? Would you like some water?"
Xiao Qingyuan's heart skipped a beat: "Drink, bring it over here!"
Shen Wantang did not move. She called out "Qin Xin" and then said, "Serve the young master water."
Qin Xin agreed, carried the water to the bedside, lifted Xiao Qingyuan's head with one hand, and fed him water with the other.
Xiao Qingyuan frowned slightly. He had clearly asked Shen Wantang to feed him, but she asked the maid to do it. Did she not understand what he said?
Although he had doubts, he was indeed very thirsty and quickly drank the whole bowl of water.
After drinking it, he finally felt a little better about his dry and sore throat.
He belatedly realized a problem: "Where is Yanluo? Where is she?"
