44 Where Can I Find You?
“Miss Su, something bad has happened to the Princess Consort.”
Su Ying sat up on the bed and put on her dress quickly before opening the door.
“We can talk while we walk.”
“Just now, the Princess Consort suddenly woke up. She was fine at first, but for some reason, she suddenly vomited blood. His Highness wants Miss Su to immediately go and take a look.”
As soon as the maidservant finished speaking, she raised her head only to find that Su Ying had disappeared. She strained her neck and saw that Su Ying had already arrived at the courtyard outside Princess Consort Ma’s room.
Su Ying walked into the room and saw Prince Ma glaring at her furiously. “Didn’t you say that the Princess Consort would be fine after you removed her lesion? Why is she vomiting blood now?”
Prince Ma exploded with rage, and his spittle almost landed on Su Ying’s face.
“Your Highness, don’t be anxious. It’s not too late to be angry after I check her condition.”
Su Ying stepped forward to check on Princess Consort Ma’s condition and found that her heart rate was somewhat abnormal.
“What did the Princess Consort do after she woke up? Who was serving the Princess Consort?”
The two maidservants knelt on the ground, trembling all over. “It… it was us who served the Princess Consort. After the Princess Consort woke up, she didn’t say anything. She just suddenly vomited blood.”
Su Yu’s almond-shaped eyes turned ominous. “That’s impossible. Something must have antagonized the Princess Consort. Speak. What did you say to the Princess Consort?”
Prince Ma glared icily at the two maidservants. “If you two don’t tell me the truth today, I will tear you to pieces!”
“Your Highness, please spare my life! Your Highness, please spare my life! It was Concubine Ma. Concubine Ma asked me to tell the Princess Consort that she was a withered flower and that Your Highness would never love her again… Argh!”
Before the maidservant could finish her sentence, Prince Ma had already kicked her in the chest, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.
“Your Highness, please spare my life! Your Highness, please spare my life!”
Prince Ma’s face was filled with rage. “Drag them out, beat them to death, and then feed them to the dogs in the backyard.”
“Yes, Sir.”
The guards entered the room and dragged the two maidservants out.
A moment later, the courtyard was filled with wretched screams.
Prince Ma didn’t order anyone to block their mouths. He was also using them as a warning to everyone so that those people in the courtyard would be more clear-headed.
Fortunately, Su Ying had already thought of all the possibilities prior to this, so she had already gotten the medicine ready in the medicine box. She took it out and gave Princess Consort Ma an injection with her back facing Prince Ma. Princess Consort Ma’s condition gradually stabilized.
However, to guard against other unforeseen incidents, Su Ying decided to stay with her overnight. It wouldn’t be too late for her to leave after she was sure that Princess Consort Ma was out of danger.
When Sima Chen entered the room, he saw Su Ying leaning against the chair, asleep.
He walked over quietly, pulled a stool, and sat down opposite her. This was the first time he was observing Su Ying at such close range.
Su Ying appeared a little thin and had a small oval face. Her eyebrows were not as slender and delicately beautiful as ordinary women’s. Instead, there was an air of heroic stature in the arch of her brows. Her nose was straight and delicate, and her rosy lips were just a little reddish. At first glance, she was not considered a stunning beauty, but if one looked closely at her, he would find her increasingly more bewitching.
Just when Sima Chen was observing her seriously, a pair of almond-shaped eyes that were as bright as a scattering of stars suddenly met his eyes. He was so shocked that he quickly averted his eyes.
“Miss Su, you are awake. Just now, I came in and saw that Miss Su was resting, so I didn’t want to wake you up. You have suffered last night, Miss Su.”
Su Ying had indeed fallen asleep earlier, but she had woken up when Sima Chen entered. As a battle general, she still possessed this bit of vigilance. It was just that she had not sensed any evil intentions from Sima Chen, so she had been too lazy to open her eyes. To her surprise, this rascal kept staring at her, unnerving her so much that she couldn’t close her eyes and rest even if she wanted to.
“With this kind of illness, the Princess Consort must not suffer any provocation. Even if she fully recovers from the surgery, she should not get angry as far as possible. Otherwise, there is a possibility of a relapse.”
Sima Chen listened intently as if he was receiving a class lesson.
The next day, Princess Consort Ma woke up again. In order to prevent her wound from hurting too much, Su Ying secretly attached a painkiller band to her hand.
Princess Consort Ma looked at Su Ying in a somewhat dazed state. After all, from the time Su Ying entered the Palace until now, this was the first time she had met Su Ying after she woke up.
“Princess Consort, do you still feel uncomfortable in the chest when you breathe?”
When Princess Consort Ma heard her words, she realized that even though her chest was still hurting vaguely, she did feel much more comfortable when she breathed. She looked at Su Ying in some surprise.
“It was you? It was you who cured me?”
“I shall not lie to you, Princess Consort. If you want to fully recover from your current condition, you still need to take care of your body in the future. There shouldn’t be a problem in the short term. However, in the next six months, you must persist in taking the medicine. Your diet must be light, and you must not get angry or accumulate aggravation inwardly.”
Princess Consort Ma didn’t expect that she would really be saved. Even if she didn’t fully recover, she counted herself lucky to be able to live one more day.
“Miss, you are really my benefactor.”
“Your Highness, you don’t have to thank me. I’m simply doing my job after getting paid.”
Princess Consort Ma shook her head. It wasn’t as if Prince Ma had never looked for a physician in the city before, and there were many charlatans among them who deceived people. In reality, it was rare to meet someone as capable as Su Ying.
“Miss, I will have to trouble you to stay in the palace for a few more days. I will personally extend my hospitality to you.”
“Your Highness, you should not overwork yourself in your current condition. In a few days, I will check your wound. After confirming that there is no problem with your wound, I will take my leave.”
“Mother, it won’t be too late to invite Miss Su for a banquet after you’ve recovered,” Sima Chen said from the side.
Princess Consort Ma nodded and no longer insisted. She was still weak and fell asleep after taking the medicine.
After Su Ying was certain that Princess Consort Ma would no longer be in danger, she followed Sima Chen out of the room.
“May I know where Miss Su plans to go after leaving?”
Su Ying raised her eyebrows. “To a faraway place.”
Sima Chen frowned slightly. “How do I know where to look for you in the future? I’m just thinking that if Mother’s body…”
“It is indeed hard to locate me. But don’t worry. As long as the Princess Consort takes her medicine on time, there won’t be any problems in general. If she still doesn’t feel well, then send someone to seek me in the northern wilderness.”
Sima Chen was surprised. “Miss, you are going to the northern wilderness? That’s a land of exiles.”
“Mm-hmm. I’m going there to look for someone.”
Sima Chen could tell that Su Ying didn’t want to say more, so he didn’t continue asking. However, the disappointment in his eyes was hard to hide.
For the next few days, Su Ying would come to check on Princess Consort Ma’s condition. After making sure that her wound was fine, she bade Prince Ma farewell.
Prince Ma ordered his men to bring a large chest over and open it.
Su Ying’s eyes were almost dazzled by the gold in the chest!
She didn’t expect to earn so much money by treating patients!
Thud! Su Ying closed the chest. She must not flaunt her wealth. It was better for her to keep a low profile. “Thank you, Your Highness.”
“Miss Su, I really want you to stay in the palace.” Prince Ma’s face was filled with regret. It was really important to have a person with superb medical skills by his side.
“Thank you so much for your favor, Your Highness. It’s getting late. I will take my leave now.”
Su Ying turned around and left with her chest.
Prince Ma’s eyebrows twitched as he watched her leave in such a relaxed manner.
Su Ying hugged the chest of gold and thought about what to buy for the children.
To her surprise, just as she walked out of the palace, she was stopped by the guards who came rushing over.
