Chapter 212 Lu Wanning's Worries!
The silver needles were inserted one by one into the acupoints on Ye Jiuchen's body.
Every stitch was precise and flawless, as if a magnificent artistic performance was taking place.
After the acupuncture was finished, Dongfang Wan'er gently wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead, her gaze remaining tenderly fixed on Ye Jiuchen's face, and murmured to herself, "I believe he will wake up soon."
Just then, footsteps approached from outside the door, and a guard entered carrying a steaming bowl of medicine.
"Your Highness, this is the Prince's medicine," the guard said respectfully, then placed the medicine on the table and quietly withdrew.
Dongfang Wan'er shifted her gaze from Ye Jiuchen's face, looked at the bowl of medicine, and then looked back at Ye Jiuchen, her eyes filled with pity and determination. She secretly vowed that she would do everything she could to make him recover as soon as possible.
She carefully helped Ye Jiuchen up, picked up a medicine spoon, gently scooped up a spoonful of medicine, blew on it to warm it to a suitable temperature, and then slowly fed it to Ye Jiuchen.
After administering the medicine, she took out a bottle of special nutritional solution from the medicine box and carefully attached it to Ye Jiuchen.
She knew that food is the foundation of life, and since Ye Jiuchen was unable to eat normally, this nutrient solution was crucial for maintaining his body's energy, just like a spring of water for a traveler in a dry desert.
After confirming that Ye Jiuchen and Qiuqin were both alright for the time being, Dongfang Wan'er got up and left Ye Jiuchen's room to visit Qiuqin next door.
As soon as she entered the room, she was stunned by what she saw. An Ye was holding Qiu Qin's hand tightly!
"Ahem..." Seeing this, Dongfang Wan'er deliberately coughed a few times, breaking the sweet but slightly awkward atmosphere.
Upon hearing the sound, An Ye reacted as if struck by lightning, quickly withdrawing his hand and becoming extremely tense.
He looked towards the doorway, and when he saw it was Dongfang Wan'er, he was first taken aback, then quickly clasped his hands in a salute, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Your Highness!"
"Dark Night, were you holding Qiuqin's hand just now?" Dongfang Wan'er's lips curled up slightly, a hint of mockery in her eyes, asking a question she already knew the answer to.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness. Your subordinate, Your subordinate..." Dark Night's face turned bright red, as brilliant as the sunset. He stammered, his usual calm and composure completely gone. His flustered appearance was incredibly cute.
"Pfft..." Dongfang Wan'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Look at you, I was just asking, what's there to be nervous about... You like Qiuqin..."
Upon hearing Dongfang Wan'er's words, An Ye's body trembled violently, and then he knelt down on one knee with a thud, his expression solemn yet tinged with shyness!
"Your Highness, this subordinate..." He opened his mouth, but it was as if something was choking his throat, and he couldn't say another word for a long time. He just lowered his head, and fine beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead.
Dongfang Wan'er stood there quietly, eagerly awaiting An Ye's next words. But to her surprise, An Ye remained kneeling, as if time had frozen, and did not utter another word.
Dongfang Wan'er felt somewhat helpless, thinking to herself: What exactly is An Ye up to? He's such an unpredictable guy.
"Dark Night, why aren't you saying anything? Do you like Qiuqin?"
Dongfang Wan'er's clear voice rang out again in the quiet air. Her gaze was fixed on the dark night, her eyes revealing a hint of urgency and curiosity.
An Ye slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with determination. He looked directly into Dongfang Wan'er's eyes and said loudly, "Yes!" His voice seemed to tear a hole in the darkness, leaving all emotions exposed.
"Your Highness, I truly love Qiuqin."
An Ye's voice trembled slightly, as if she were struggling to suppress the surging emotions within her. "I don't know when it started, but I've found that my gaze always unconsciously follows Qiu Qin's figure. Every smile, every gesture of hers seems to possess an invisible magic, attracting me. But before this, I was foolish enough not to realize that this was love. Until this time, when Qiu Qin was injured and I saw her lying there weakly, at that moment, I felt as if my heart had been violently gripped, aching terribly. Only then did I understand that my feelings for Qiu Qin had already penetrated to the bone, a love that could never be severed. Your Highness, please grant my request!"
Dongfang Wan'er looked at An Ye and nodded in satisfaction. In her memory, An Ye had always been loyal in protecting her. Although he was sometimes a bit slow-witted and clumsy in handling matters, his character was beyond question.
He is upright, kind, and loyal; he is a trustworthy person. "An Ye, I know about this, but matters of the heart involve two people, so it still depends on Qiu Qin's wishes," Dongfang Wan'er said softly.
“Your Highness, I understand…” An Ye quickly replied.
"Okay, I'll go back first and get the Tian Shan snow lotus."
As she spoke, Dongfang Wan'er prepared to set off.
In fact, she has always kept the Tian Shan snow lotus in her own space, and through her careful cultivation, there are already many plants.
These cultivated Tian Shan snow lotuses are ten times more effective than the original ones.
But she couldn't just conjure up the snow lotus out of thin air. After all, her medicine box was empty right now. If she suddenly produced the Tianshan snow lotus, it would be hard to explain and could easily cause unnecessary trouble.
“Alright, Your Highness. I will have An Yi and An Er accompany you back. I will stay here to take care of Master and Qiu Qin…” An Ye carefully made the arrangements.
"Okay, sure..." Dongfang Wan'er agreed. Although she had some martial arts skills, she knew that there would inevitably be unknown dangers along the way, and having An Yi and An Er with her would provide more protection.
So, Dongfang Wan'er, along with An Yi and An Er, embarked on their journey back to the Prince's Mansion.
Meanwhile, Lu Wanning, who was in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, had already received news of Dongfang Wan'er's return. As soon as Dongfang Wan'er returned to her room, Lu Wanning appeared behind her.
"Wan'er..." Lu Wanning called softly, her voice a little hoarse, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Dongfang Wan'er immediately turned around, only to be met with her mother's worried gaze, which also contained a hint of reproach.
Her heart clenched, and she immediately rushed over and hugged Lu Wanning's arm.
"Mother, Wan'er..." Dongfang Wan'er opened her mouth, wanting to explain something.
Lu Wanning gently patted Dongfang Wan'er's hand and said softly, "Wan'er, you've grown up and have things you want to do. Your mother won't stop you. But my only request is that you don't leave without a word again next time. You don't know how heartbroken I was when I heard the news of your disappearance. I really don't want to experience that worry and fear a second time."
