At this moment, Hu Qing had already decided in his heart that Su Ruojin was his princess.
No one in the world is more suitable to be the prince's queen than her.
The prince had already instructed him to prepare the betrothal gifts; he had merely given the order in advance.
Su Ruojin was too exhausted to care about the matter at this point, and was about to leave when Hu Qing called her back.
"Your Highness, um... Consort Jiang has fainted and is in the side hall. The imperial physician is on leave today, and the doctor we summoned from outside hasn't returned yet. What do you think...?"
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
Consort Jiang is Yan Chu's mother, so Su Ruojin would never stand by and watch him die.
When Aunt Sulan saw Su Ruojin enter the room, she opened her mouth as if to say something, but then held back.
Su Ruojin administered acupuncture and gave the Empress Dowager a pill, and she woke up shortly afterward.
Seeing Su Ruojin writing a prescription to the side, Consort Jiang looked disgusted and said angrily, "What is she doing here?"
Aunt Sulan explained, "Your Highness, Doctor Su... Doctor Su is here to treat you."
"Let her go. I don't need her to take my medical treatment!"
At this moment, Su Ruojin just wanted to go back to sleep and didn't have much energy to care about why Consort Jiang's attitude towards her had changed so drastically.
She handed the prescription to Aunt Sulan: "The Empress Dowager fainted due to anger, but she is now fine. Take this medicine three times a day for three days and she will be alright."
Watching Su Ruojin leave exhausted, Consort Jiang spat behind her back: "Pah, shameless thing."
Hu Qing wanted to say something, but didn't say it.
There are some things that a mere guard like him cannot interfere with; it is better for the prince to handle them himself.
Su Ruojin slept for a full day and night.
When she woke up, it was already evening the next day, and she felt her stomach growling with hunger.
She had just gotten out of bed to find something to eat when Yanluo pushed the door open and came in.
He was very happy to see Su Ruojin wake up: "Miss, you're awake. Wait here, I'll go get you a bowl of porridge."
She knew that her mistress was really tired this time and just wanted her to get a good night's sleep, but she didn't know when her mistress would wake up, so she kept the porridge warm.
A short while later, Yanluo brought over a bowl of lean meat porridge and a bowl of chicken soup.
"Miss, eat it while it's hot. You've slept for a whole day and night, don't go hungry."
While eating, Su Ruojin asked, "How is the Prince doing?"
Yan Luo replied, "The prince hasn't woken up yet; Young Master Mu is taking care of him."
"Hmm, she won't wake up so soon. What did Yunniang say?"
Yesterday I received a message from Yunniang saying that she had found clues about the Beauty Pavilion.
Since Su Ruojin couldn't leave, she asked Yanluo to go and take over.
Yan Luo took out a slip of paper and handed it to Su Ruojin: "Yunniang said that the girl is very alert. She has guards sent by Wei Xuecheng to protect her. If she finds that she is being watched, she will go into the alley, change to another carriage, and even prepare a double with a similar figure to her. Our people lost her several times, but in the end, it was Rong Zuoshi who found the place. It's right here."
Su Ruojin put down her spoon, took the note, and opened it. The note was a map, indicating that the person's hiding place was a villa in the suburbs of Beijing.
Su Ruojin put the note away: "Okay, let's go take a look. I've finished eating, I'm going to see the Prince."
Arrived at Yunqi Courtyard.
Xiao Yanchu was still unconscious, and Mu Jingshan was using gauze dipped in water to moisten his lips.
Upon seeing Su Ruojin enter, he quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Highness has arrived."
Su Ruojin: ? ? ? ? ?
What's going on with these one and two?
Yesterday it was Hu Qing, now it's Mu Jingshan, what's going on here?
Mu Jingshan had long since seen Xiao Yanchu's feelings for Su Ruojin. He was completely dumbfounded yesterday when Su Ruojin addressed Xiao Yanchu.
With Hu Qing spreading the word, not only Mu Jingshan, but even the secret guards now refer to Su Ruojin as Princess Consort.
"Ahem," Su Ruojin coughed, clenching her fist. "Young Master Mu, don't call me that."
