Chapter 123 The prince wakes up
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, only the silver needles were flashing with faint light, carrying everyone's hope.
After a moment, Shen Yiran took out the silver needle skillfully, put it in order carefully, then passed it through his cuff again and put it back into the space without making any sound.
After doing all this, she raised her eyes slightly and said to Empress Sun calmly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Crown Prince will wake up after a cup of tea."
When Empress Sun heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She stared at the prince closely, feeling both expectant and nervous.
The palace maids and eunuchs around were also holding their breath, and the entire bedroom was so quiet that one could almost hear everyone's heartbeats.
Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone's eyes never left the prince. Finally, in everyone's anxious waiting, a cup of tea passed quietly. Just as Shen Yiran said, the prince's eyelids trembled slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes.
The prince's eyes were a little confused at first, but gradually they regained some clarity. Empress Sun was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She stepped forward, held the prince's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Chen'er, you finally woke up. I scared you to death."
The prince opened his mouth weakly, wanting to speak but no sound came out.
At this moment, Shen Yiran said at the right time: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just woken up and is still very weak. He needs to be taken care of. Your Majesty, please do not let the Crown Prince overwork himself."
Queen Sun nodded. She looked at Shen Yiran's beautiful face, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and thought of her ten thousand taels of gold, and her heart felt choked up.
Then she tilted her head slightly and said politely, "Princess, you have made an invaluable contribution in waking the prince this time. I would like to thank you." The words were brief and plain, merely a courtesy of thanks, without any excessive enthusiasm or sincerity.
The Crown Princess, standing by, cried with joy when she saw the Crown Prince waking up, and a smile as bright as a spring flower bloomed on her face.
She quickly walked up to Shen Yiran and bowed deeply, her voice full of gratitude: "Princess, I have been so kind to you and I cannot repay you enough. If it weren't for you, I don't know when the Crown Prince would have woken up. You are truly our savior."
Hearing the Crown Princess' sincere gratitude from the bottom of her heart, Shen Yiran couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
However, this trace of guilt only flashed through her mind. She changed her mind and realized that the 10,000 taels of gold were given by Empress Sun, and she deserved it.
After thinking about it this way, the guilt in her heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.
After that, the Crown Princess turned to look at the Crown Prince, her eyes full of tenderness and concern. She stayed beside the Crown Prince, asking him softly about his feelings, and her gentle appearance was touching.
Shen Yiran looked at the gentle appearance of the Crown Princess, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in her heart: "How can Yu Gongchen, this scumbag, be worthy of such a gentle, kind and affectionate woman like the Crown Princess? He should live a Singles' Day every day and live alone until the end of his life."
Just as Shen Yiran was immersed in the thought of defending the Crown Princess, Ren Jingzhi gently slid his wheelchair and slowly came to Shen Yiran's side. He said softly, "Ranran, we can go now."
Shen Yiran came back to her senses instantly when she heard Ren Jingzhi's words. She looked at Ren Jingzhi and nodded slightly.
Then, she turned to face Empress Sun, bowed slightly, and said calmly, "Empress, now that the Crown Prince has awakened, I have completed my mission. I bid you farewell."
Empress Sun nodded slightly and said, "Miss Shen, you have worked hard. I will keep today's events in mind." The expression on her face remained indifferent.
Shen Yiran stopped talking and pushed Ren Jingzhi slowly towards the door.
Just at this moment, Nanny Wang whispered a few words in Empress Sun's ear. Empress Sun hurriedly stood up and shouted to Shen Yiran, "Princess, please stay!" Empress Sun's voice came unexpectedly from behind, like a thunder exploding in Shen Yiran's ears.
Shen Yiran paused, feeling anxious, and thought to herself, "It's over! Will Empress Sun just abandon me?"
At the same time, Ren Jingzhi's grip on the wheelchair suddenly tightened.
Shen Yiran suppressed her uneasiness and slowly turned around. She saw Empress Sun approaching with a hint of anxiety and anticipation.
"Princess, I called you to ask for a favor. Chen'er is awake now, which shows that your master's medicine is very effective. I wonder if you can take one pill as well."
Ren Jingzhi was puzzled when he heard this, "What happened to the Third Prince? Is he sick too?"
After the queen finished speaking, Shen Yiran calmed down a little, and finally let go of her worries. "It's good that I didn't just abandon you."
Only then did she remember that she had almost forgotten about the scumbag Third Prince. Well, she would go and take back the silver needle. It would be a waste to leave it in Yu Gongxuan's body.
She pretended to be calm, nodded slightly and said, "Empress, I dare not say that I can cure the Third Prince. I need to see his condition first to know whether it can be cured."
A glimmer of hope flashed in Empress Sun's eyes, and she nodded quickly, "Of course, as long as the Crown Prince's wife is willing to help, I will be grateful."
After saying this, Empress Sun instructed the Crown Princess to take good care of the Crown Prince, and then everyone walked towards the Huaqing Palace.
On the long palace road, footsteps sounded one after another. Shen Yiran pushed Ren Jing forward while secretly calculating in his heart: "How much medical fee should I charge Queen Sun later?
But she couldn't use the same method she used when treating the prince. After some consideration, she felt that she couldn't be too greedy and decided to just ask for 5,000 taels of silver. "
When he thought about the huge sum of money that would come into his account soon, the corners of Shen Yiran's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and that arc was full of joy of the upcoming wealth.
This subtle expression of hers happened to catch the eyes of Ren Jingzhi who looked up at her. Ren Jingzhi was puzzled and thought to himself: "Isn't Ranran afraid at all? Isn't she afraid that she can't cure the Third Prince's illness and that Empress Sun will make things difficult for her?"
Ren Jingzhi frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on Shen Yiran. Ren Jingzhi really couldn't guess what kind of person Shen Yiran was.
She is sometimes smart and courageous, sometimes cunning and greedy, completely different from those girls from wealthy families. But what is certain is that she is definitely not the original Shen Yiran.
He secretly decided that after returning home today, he would ask Lin Bei to ask Yun'er about Shen Yiran's performance after she was brought back from the countryside, and the changes that happened after she married him.
He was eager to know how many unknown secrets this woman was hiding.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen!" When the guards and maids in Huaqing Palace saw Empress Sun and her entourage hurriedly approaching, they hurriedly saluted respectfully.
