Chapter 99 I knew the princess wouldn't be easily fooled.
Two weeks later.
Yun Si's vitality gradually increased.
That morning, she finally slowly opened her eyes.
His gaze swept around the room, and after a long while, his eyes slowly regained their clarity.
Is this... Qiwu Garden?
She struggled to sit up, just as Lan Xin came in. Seeing that Yun Si was awake, she was so shocked that she dropped the teapot she was holding.
"Master!"
She rushed over and exclaimed excitedly, "Thank God, Master, you're finally awake!"
"I...slept for a long time?"
"Half a month."
So long?
Yun Si looked outside but didn't see the person she wanted to see.
Half a month has passed, and he still doesn't know when she will wake up. He can't stay by her side every day.
It's normal not to see anyone.
Is His Highness in the manor?
"My lord, His Highness..."
Lansing's eyes darted away slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong, Your Highness?"
Yun Si remembered that Qin Ye hadn't returned to the manor when she was assassinated. What had happened in the past two weeks?
Could it be that Qin Ye's injuries haven't healed yet?
Yun Si rolled out of bed, but Lan Xin quickly stopped her: "You mustn't, my lady."
As soon as her legs touched the ground, her body went limp and she collapsed.
I was so badly injured back then, and I was bedridden for half a month. It's a miracle that I survived. What strength do I have now?
With Lansing's help, Yun Si struggled back to bed.
"My lord, your injury has only just healed a little. Don't rush to get out of bed. Nothing is more important than your health."
As Lansing spoke, her eyes welled up with tears.
"My lord, do you know how badly you were injured this time? We all thought you weren't going to make it..."
Her voice choked with emotion, and for a moment she was unable to control herself.
This time, it was truly terrifying.
Almost, just a hair's breadth away, the master...
"Lansing".
Yun Si patted her shoulder and comforted her gently, "Don't cry, I'm all better now, aren't I?"
"Um."
Lan Xin nodded, and after she calmed down a bit, Yun Si asked again, "Was it Doctor Ji who saved me?"
Yun Si knew very well that even she, facing such an injured person, had no confidence in saving them.
Therefore, it must have been no simple matter for her to survive.
"…Um."
Lansing nodded, a smile playing on her lips: "Yes, Doctor Ji's medical skills are superb. We owe it all to him this time to snatch our master back from the brink of death."
"Lansing".
Yun Si leaned against the headboard, looking at her with a vague gaze, her tone slightly heavy: "You're not suited to lying. No matter how skilled Doctor Ji is, he's not a god. Tell me the truth, how exactly did my injury heal?"
"Master!"
At this moment, Lu Yu also heard the noise, dropped what he was holding, and rushed into the room: "Master, you're awake!"
Lu Yu knelt by the bedside, speechless with excitement: "Awu said that Master would wake up in the next couple of days. At first, I didn't believe her, but I didn't expect that what she said was true."
"A-Wu?"
Yun Si looked towards the door again and asked, "Where is A-Wu?"
She has just woken up and feels a little sluggish.
Then I remembered that Ah Wu was also injured that day!
Lansing glanced at Lu Yu, who then suddenly fell silent.
What's going on with you guys?
Yun Si's face darkened, her breathing unsteady: "Do I have to keep pressing you before you'll tell me?"
“My lord, don’t be angry. A-Wu is fine. She’s just temporarily away from the manor. You and she were both injured that day, and His Highness Prince Yu was affected. A-Wu just went to Prince Yu’s manor to be closer to His Highness. It’s said that this helps injuries heal faster,” Lu Yu quickly explained.
Yes, Ah Wu was hit by two arrows. She was seriously injured.
But half a month has passed and she has woken up. Has A-Wu's injury not healed yet?
Yun Si couldn't help but feel doubtful, but even more so, worried.
She sat on the bed, her head spinning, and soon she weakened and fell into a coma again.
When I finally woke up, it was already dark.
Lanxin and Lu Yu stayed by her bedside the whole time, and Dr. Ji was also there.
However, Qin Ye and A Wu were still nowhere to be seen.
After Yun Si woke up, she lay on the bed without moving.
After examining her pulse, Doctor Ji breathed a sigh of relief: "The princess's life has finally been saved."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xin and Lu Yu finally felt relieved.
"That's great, my lady. Are you hungry now? Doctor Ji said that since you just woke up, you can only eat some porridge. I'll go and bring it to you."
As Lu Yu spoke, he turned and left without waiting for Yun Si's reply.
Doctor Ji was packing his medicine box. After he finished, he noticed that Yun Si still hadn't moved, so he went up to her with concern and asked her what was wrong.
"Your Highness, are you still feeling unwell anywhere?"
"No."
Yun Si spoke softly, replying with two words.
Then, she slowly turned to look at Doctor Ji, her voice very calm.
"Dr. Ji, don't lie to me about how my injury healed. Otherwise, you can forget about getting any new prescriptions from me in the future."
"No, Your Highness."
Doctor Ji's face fell, and he said with a forced smile, "Fine, I'll tell you. It's not a secret."
Only after Dr. Ji explained to Yun Si did she realize how dangerous the situation had been that day.
She was truly on her last breath; one foot, no, both feet were already on the verge of death.
Dr. Ji admitted that, with his medical skills, he had no way to treat that condition; he was completely helpless.
Just when they were in despair, Ah Wu suddenly spoke up, saying that she had a way to save the princess.
“Miss Awu said that there is a kind of medicine that can save the princess’s life, but that medicine is only available in the Southern Frontier. Awu asked us to find a way to buy her a day and a night. She only needs a day and a night to bring the medicine back.”
"Get the medicine from southern Xinjiang, a day and a night?"
That's impossible.
No matter how fast Awu is, she can't travel from Daqin to the Southern Frontier and back in just twelve hours.
"Even the Princess finds this unbelievable, doesn't she?"
Even now, Dr. Ji's expression remains one of shock when he talks about this incident.
"But the fact is, Awu really did bring the medicine back from the southern border in just one day and one night."
"...She's still injured."
"Yes, that's right. She was already injured, and all that running back and forth would have taken a toll on her, even a god would collapse."
Upon hearing Doctor Ji's words, Yun Si suddenly looked at him.
No wonder.
Ah Wu's injury hasn't healed after half a month.
"However, Your Highness, don't worry. It wasn't A-Wu who collapsed first, but Prince Yu. A-Wu's body is truly made of iron. She herself was actually fine, but she lost too much blood, which seriously affected Prince Yu. She had to stay close to Prince Yu, otherwise, Prince Yu would have lost his life."
Yun Si: "..."
She paused for a moment to process the information, then asked, "So how did I manage to hold on until A-Wu brought the medicine back? Besides the Tian Shan Snow Lotus, what other medicine is so powerful that it could save someone who was barely clinging to life?"
Dr. Ji gave a wry smile.
I knew the princess wouldn't be easily fooled.
Fortunately, he had prepared his explanation in advance.
"Although I cannot cure the princess, A-Wu said that as long as the princess is kept alive, that's enough. Our royal palace has many people with profound internal strength. Isn't it easy to keep the princess on her last breath?"
"So, you mean you'll use your internal energy to help me hold out until A-Wu returns?"
"Yes."
"Whose?"
"...Of course..."
Yun Si stared intently at Doctor Ji, who felt flustered under her gaze and stammered several times before finally managing to utter a name.
