Medical Princess-Chapter 1252 - A Person Almost Forgotten

Chapter 1252 A Person Almost Forgotten

It had been a long time since the dinner. At about ten o’clock in the evening, Qing’er trotted over to report, saying Prince Chen was back and didn’t look well.

The news flustered Shao Wanru. At once, she walked out with Qing’er and Yujie. On the way, they met Chu Liuchen.

“Why are you here?” Chu Liuchen took her hand and asked.

Shao Wanru stole a glance at him — he looked fine, and there was nothing wrong with him. Finally, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “Are you alright?” 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑤𝘦𝑏𝑛𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝑚

“I’m fine. Don’t worry!” Chu Liuchen shook his head and pulled her back inside. A group of servants followed them with lanterns in their hands.

Chu Liuchen’s hand was slightly cold. Shao Wanru grasped his big hand, trying to warm him with her warm hands. Chu Liuchen’s body temperature was slightly lower than ordinary people’s. Unlike him, Shao Wanru was as warm as a cat bathing in the sun.

Along the way, Chu Liuchen didn’t say a word. Although he maintained his composure, Shao Wanru felt the atmosphere was a little gloomy. As expected, something bad must have happened.

“Have you had dinner in the Palace?” Entering the room, Shao Wanru asked.

Chu Liuchen shook his head.

Shao Wanru asked Nanny Yu to get the hot dishes from the kitchenette. Chu Liuchen looked starving. He put the bowl down only after eating three bowls of rice in a row. Then, he drank a bowl of soup sent by Shao Wanru before asking the servants to remove the tableware.

After washing up, he asked all the servant girls and old maids to leave.

When Shao Wanru came out, Chu Liuchen had washed his face and rinsed his mouth. He leaned against the bed and slightly furrowed his beautiful brows, apparently lost in thought.

As Shao Wanru went to bed, he reached out to hold her in his arms and pulled the quilt over them. Then he just held her in silence.

“Did anything happen in the Palace?” Shao Wanru raised her big eyes and asked.

“Uncle the Emperor suddenly spat out blood.” Chu Liuchen closed his eyes and gently touched Shao Wanru’s long hair. Her glossy hair hanging down loosely felt smooth in his hands.

“The Emperor vomited blood?” Shao Wanru suddenly opened her eyes wide with a trace of astonishment across them. “He has been fine. Why would he suddenly vomit blood?”

In her previous life, she had heard the Emperor fell ill, but she didn’t know why. She only knew he had become seriously ill. At that time, these officials persuaded the Emperor to appoint a crown prince. It caused a lot of disputes in the imperial court. All the matters about fighting for the throne must have happened during that time!

Chu Liuzhou plotted a rebellion, and Chu Liuxin died. In the end, Chu Liuchen became the final winner. He got the position of the crown prince. Governing the nation, he controlled the entire imperial court and was in charge of all the state affairs.

“We haven’t found the truth for the time being. It’s said that Uncle the Emperor has accumulated poison in his body. He didn’t seem to have been deliberately poisoned. Perhaps, he accidentally ate some conflicting food and tonic residues. Then, the poison gradually settled in him. He will be fine after spitting it out,” Chu Liuchen said. This was the conclusion made by several imperial physicians.

“Will it not be a big deal if he spits it out?” Shao Wanru hid the surprise in her eyes and asked slowly, relaxing again.

“That’s what the imperial physicians said, but how could there be such a coincidence?” Chu Liuchen sneered.

Shao Wanru thought for a moment and shook her head. She also felt such a thing was unlikely to happen. Imperial physicians with excellent medical skills had been taking care of the Emperor’s health. How could they let such a dangerous thing happen?

“But after a lot of surveys, we found nothing unusual. Everything was perfectly normal. All things provided to him were carefully selected. There was nothing unusual,” Chu Liuchen said coldly.

Shao Wanru pondered for a moment. This matter couldn’t be that simple. With this in mind, she said, “Nothing happened in the past. All of a sudden, such a serious matter happened. Did anything trigger it? Or was it because of something else?”

It was no big deal if he spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood that couldn’t be released in time. Instead, it was good that he could spit it out. But what if it was not the case? Inexplicably, she felt flustered. Reaching out to grab Chu Liuchen’s cloth, she tried hard to raise her head to see Chu Liuchen’s face. She bit her pink lips and added, “I always feel something is wrong.”

Many things were different from her previous life. She couldn’t figure out the truth. She just subconsciously felt it couldn’t be that simple. This kind of thing couldn’t happen casually.

“Unusual movements have happened in the Palace recently. Be careful when you are in the Palace.” Chu Liuchen reached out to press her head closer to him, put his hand on her beautiful hair, and reminded her.

The Emperor spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood. In every respect, Shao Wanru had to go to the Palace and see the Empress Dowager, who must have known this matter. After such a thing happened, Shao Wanru, as her granddaughter-in-law, should go to accompany and comfort the Empress Dowager.

Knowing Chu Liuchen was worried about her, Shao Wanru said with gentleness in her eyes, “Don’t worry. I’ll be cautious. I’ll be fine. But you have to be careful. It is unknown who will get involved in such a thing.”

If some people planned this matter, it could not be simple. There might be a backup plan. Therefore, the best way was to deal with it carefully and not be careless.

“You’d better be careful.” Shao Wanru was deeply worried. Leaning against his chest, she rubbed her little head uneasily. She felt disturbed and couldn’t help palpitating from nervousness.

Things happening in this life differed from those previous ones, but they seemed similar in some aspects. Was there anything wrong?

“Don’t worry. I’m with you!” Sensing Shao Wanru was uneasy, Chu Liuchen lowered his head gently, kissed her hair, and comforted her.

That night, Shao Wanru didn’t know when she had fallen asleep. Anyway, she didn’t sleep well because she dreamed of past things. Sometimes, she was under the blazing sun, punished by Shao Yanru. Sometimes, she was back in Jiangzhou, facing curses from many people and looking pathetically embarrassed. She saw the faces of Qin Yuru and Qi Tianyu radiating with proud smiles. Then, there was a bloody mess — she was shocked to see the broken look of Shao Yanru…

“Ah!” Shao Wanru suddenly sat up and looked somewhere in the air in panic. The last scene was too scary.

“What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?” Chu Liuchen also woke up. Sitting up, he held her in his arms, gently patted her on the back, and comforted her.

“I…” Shao Wanru wanted to say something, but her voice became hoarse when she opened her mouth. It sounded as if she had experienced some great hardships. She couldn’t even utter any words and just gasped heavily. The suffocating feeling faded away. Only then did she realize that she was still alive, unlike in her previous life.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here!” Chu Liuchen’s deep voice sounded particularly clear in the darkness. Although his voice was not loud, every word fell on her heart and somehow gave her courage. Instantly, it seemed she had found the power to move forward. Her eyes tightly closed, she reached out to hold Chu Liuchen by his firm waist. She snuggled close up to him and stayed in his warm arms.

“I had a dream and dreamed of something bad and bloody.” She didn’t know how to say some words in the past, but now she naturally told him, “And there were some things about Qi Tianyu and Qin Yuru a long time ago.”

Speaking of this, Shao Wanru paused and asked, “How is Qi Tianyu now?”

Somehow, she remembered Qi Tianyu, who had done many uncommon things in her previous life. She knew he was cruel as early as they were in Jiangzhou. Later, he had an affair with Qin Yuru. He was a scheming man with a good official career. Because of her, he seemed to have kept silent and lain low in this life. Nevertheless, he should not have remained obscure all his life.

Shao Wanru leaned her head against Chu Liuchen’s chest. Slowly, she lay down with him. Qi Tianyu was not simple. Now he appeared to be Chu Liuyue’s henchman. His younger sister Qi Rongzhi had been very close to Chu Liuyue. Back then, Shao Wanru had thought Qi Rongzhi would marry into the Prince Yue’s Mansion. But in the end, she chose the Prince Zhou’s Mansion. No matter how Shao Wanru looked at this matter, it couldn’t be simple.

“Qi Tianyu?” Chu Liuchen lay down with Shao Wanru in his arms. Patting her back from time to time, he said softly. He didn’t pay much attention to such a person. Shao Wanru didn’t ask him to intervene in the issue in Jiangzhou, saying she would deal with it. After that, she no longer had any dealings with Qi Tianyu.

Qi Tianyu had a lower status, so he usually could not see Prince Chen.

When Shao Wanru mentioned him, Chu Liuchen was somewhat confused. But to reassure Shao Wanru, he comforted her softly, “Did he do something? Don’t worry. I will ask someone to keep an eye on him and not give him a chance to do anything.”

“You must watch him closely. He is not ordinary.” Shao Wanru nodded and reached out to touch her chest. Somehow, her heart began pounding violently. She had forgotten a lot of things in her last life. Her memories had dimmed. It had been a long time since Qi Tianyu last appeared in her life. After such a long time, she could hardly remember him. But now, her heart fluttered with fear. She seemed to have forgotten something important.

“I will send someone to keep an eye on him.” Sensing her in a shocked and scared state, Chu Liuchen reassured her with a trace of gloom across his eyes. He never noticed this person before. Since Zhuozhuo was so worried, he would like to see how this person named Qi Tianyu was. Qi Baiyu had been living outside. It was time for him to return and stay with his Eldest Brother for a while…

When Shao Wanru woke up again, Chu Liuchen was no longer on the bed.

Hearing the sound on the bed, several servant girls hurried to serve her. They helped her get up, wash her face, and lead her to sit before the dressing table. Then Qu Le began combing her long hair.

Chu Liuchen came in and saw her dressing up, but he didn’t leave. He went straight to her side and asked with a sweet smile, “Do you want me to paint your eyebrows? My painting skills are pretty good.”

“No way!” Shao Wanru refused decisively. Painting pictures and her face were two completely different things. Never would she allow Chu Liuchen to take her face as his paper for drawing.

However, Chu Liuchen was not aware of her resistance. He came over, picked up Shao Wanru’s eyebrow pencil, and was ready to draw Shao Wanru’s eyebrows. But how could Shao Wanru agree with that? She tried to push him away, but Chu Liuchen wouldn’t give up, feeling reluctant to leave. Holding the pen beside Shao Wanru, he took her hand and was about to draw her eyebrows.

He wouldn’t leave unless Shao Wanru let him paint her eyebrows.

Prince Chen had such a naughty side. Several servant girls snickered secretly and retreated one by one, leaving the young couple alone.
