"If you dawdle any longer, the medicine will wear off. I'll feed her!" Ning Rong stepped forward, snatched Chun Qian's bowl, and pushed Chun Qian aside.
“Miss Ye is my cousin Prince Jing’s savior, so she is also my savior. It is my duty to feed Miss Ye her medicine.”
Ning Rong scooped up a spoonful of juice and fed it directly into Ye Qingxue's mouth.
Ye Qingxue suddenly opened her eyes!
That spoonful of medicine was so close, just an inch away from her path to the underworld.
Now, Ning Rong suddenly met Ye Qingxue's gaze, as if struck by lightning, her whole body trembled, and the medicine spilled out.
"What are you doing! Saying you regard my young lady as your savior, how can you treat your savior's maid like this?" Seeing Ning Rong's behavior, Dong Bai hardened his fist and strode forward to take her down!
Ning Rong snapped out of her daze in a flash and poured a bowl of medicine directly into Ye Qingxue's mouth.
Her actions and Dongbai's actions happened at the same time.
Qiu Shen, Xiang Si Zi, and the others also noticed something was clearly wrong. Ning Rong was being far too impatient, and they all rushed forward to stop her.
However!
What did they see?!
They were surprised to see Ye Qingxue suddenly sit up, grab Ning Rong's wrist, and with a "crack," Ning Rong's wrist was snapped.
"Ah!" Ning Rong let out a heart-wrenching scream, cold sweat instantly covering her face!
The bowl of medicine in her hand did not spill; instead, Ye Qingxue held it firmly in her other hand.
"What is this?" Ye Qingxue asked.
As soon as she spoke, she realized that her voice was extremely hoarse and she could hardly make a sound. How long had she been asleep?
Her current condition is clearly caused by not speaking for too long.
But in her memory, one moment she was in the Bamboo Sea Stream, and the next moment she woke up to see Ning Rong's face, with only a past life related to Yun Zhuo in between!
And now, no one is answering her question!
The entire Pear Snow Residence was eerily quiet!
After an unknown amount of time, Qiu Shen cautiously asked, "Miss... are you awake?" As if worried about startling Ye Qingxue and causing her to fall back into a deep sleep, she held her breath.
"Yes, I'm awake. How long have I been asleep?" Ye Qingxue asked, her throat still very sore and her voice still very difficult to speak.
Countless eyes were on her, but no one answered her question. After a moment of silence, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter suddenly burst out with a sharp "Ahhhhh!" sound!
Ignoring everyone and everything around them, they held hands, forming a circle, jumping and shouting, "Miss is awake! Miss is awake! Our Miss is finally awake!!"
Ye Qingxue could swear that she had grown up with these people since childhood and had never seen Qiu Shen and Xia Lu so childish, like children, not mature at all!
Spring, summer, autumn and winter didn't care about her at all. After jumping and shouting, the four of them hugged each other, crying and laughing!
"I kindly fed you medicine, why did you break my wrist?" Ning Rong's face turned pale, then white, then pale again. She was furious inside, but she pretended to be aggrieved, with a hint of crying in her voice—mainly because of the pain!
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter finally snapped out of their excitement and looked at her.
Ning Rong's face was deathly pale, and tears streamed down her face as she said to Ye Qingxue, "You don't know me. The current Prime Minister is my father, and Prince Jing is my cousin!"
"You are my cousin Prince Jing's savior, and naturally you are my benefactor too! Seeing that you have been asleep for a long time without waking up, I fed you medicine in the hope that you can wake up soon!"
Ning Rong's face was covered in tears, but inwardly she cursed, "Damn it, is this some kind of joke? Ye Qingxue had been asleep for almost two months without waking up, so why did she wake up as soon as I arrived? Did she suck all my good luck away before she was able to wake up?!"
No, we must persuade Ye Qingxue to drink this medicine.
Even if she wakes up, Ye Qingxue will still die once she drinks the medicine.
She couldn't let Ye Qingxue take Prince Jing away from her!
"This snow lotus is a top-grade medicine bestowed upon you by His Majesty, with the power to bring the dead back to life. You woke up as soon as you smelled its fragrance, which shows how potent its medicinal effects are. Quickly drink the medicine, and you will be completely cured."
Ning Rong gently persuaded him, her expression incredibly tender, even ignoring the pain of her broken wrist.
Ye Qingxue recalled the words she and Yun Zhuo had overheard when they hid under two wolves.
Ning Rong doesn't seem like the kind person she is. Would she treat her kindly? When she woke up, she clearly saw Ning Rong's expression as if she were sending her to hell!
"Chunqian, give me a glass of water," Ye Qingxue said.
Chunqian nodded like a chick pecking at rice and quickly poured a glass of water. After Ye Qingxue drank it, she finally felt much better in her throat.
She shifted her position on the bed and looked at Ning Rong: "Miss Ning, you said that this snow lotus was a gift from the Emperor?"
"Of course! Drink up, or we'll be letting His Majesty down!"
Ye Qingxue could clearly see the unspoken meaning in her eyes: if she did not obediently drink the medicine, she would be disobeying the imperial decree!
Ye Qingxue raised an eyebrow: "Really? Dongbai, go catch a mouse."
Dongbai was about to say that she had tasted it and it wasn't poisonous, but Xiangsi Zi suddenly said, "Miss Dongbai, go ahead."
Dongbai went immediately, and soon returned with a mouse, which he put in a cage.
Ning Rong said, "Miss Ye wouldn't suspect that this medicine is poisonous, would she?"
Ye Qingxue scooped a spoonful and fed it to the mouse. The mouse ate it and was still lively and energetic, which showed that the medicine was not poisonous.
