There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 203 Sleeping in the Earth

Gu Ziying wiped the tears from her face and said

"Dr. Sun said that if she wakes up in seven days, she will still be the lively and energetic Li Shuchen; if she doesn't wake up, she will sleep forever on the ground, keeping company with heaven and earth."

Upon hearing this, Princess Changning collapsed to the ground, trembling with sobs.

"What? How could it be so serious? Ziying, hit me, hit me! It's all my fault. If she hadn't gone to save me, I would be alive and well now. She shouldn't have gone to save me. It's all my fault, all my fault!"

Gu Ziying touched Princess Changning's hair and said

"We all know her personality. If she knows you're in danger, she'll definitely go to your rescue; no one can stop her."

Princess Changning shook her head.

"It should be me who dies, not Li Shuchen! It shouldn't be Li Shuchen! I can't let her die! I'll go to my uncle, the Emperor, and ask for a royal physician! I'll find a royal physician to save Li Shuchen! The royal physician must have a way! He must have a way! Li Shuchen won't die!"

Princess Changning staggered out after she finished speaking.

Gu Ziying continued feeding Li Shuchen the medicine, speaking softly.

"Did Shu Chen know all along that Chang Ning's life was in danger? Shu Chen is really amazing, you really managed to save her. Chang Ning is safe now, Shu Chen, you don't need to worry. You should rest for a few days and wake up after that. Otherwise, what will happen to your family? What will happen to Happiness Inn? What will happen to the inn's staff? Yu Ying hasn't returned victorious yet either. Doesn't Shu Chen want to see that day for himself?"

After feeding Li Shuchen the medicine, Gu Ziying gently massaged him, rubbing his arms and legs, tucking him in, and then picked up a book to tell him a story.

Hopefully, Li Shuchen will respond to these words.

Otherwise, it was just too quiet, so quiet it frightened her. When had she ever seen Li Shuchen so silent?

an hour later

"Ziying, I've brought the imperial physician."

More than a dozen imperial physicians entered one after another, all carrying medicine chests and waiting in the outer room.

Gu Ziying immediately stood up to offer her a seat, her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at the imperial physicians.

The imperial physicians took turns examining Li Shuchen's pulse. After all the diagnoses were completed, they discussed the matter and reached a consensus.

The Imperial Physician said cautiously

"Reporting to Princess Changning, this young lady's injuries are severe, and she has lost a great deal of blood. Coupled with excessive physical and mental exhaustion, her vital energy is severely depleted. If she wakes up in seven days, she will be fine; if she does not wake up..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ziying's heart sank again; this explanation was exactly the same as Doctor Sun's.

Princess Changning smashed a teapot in anger.

"Useless! A group of imperial physicians can't even save a girl. What use are you to the Emperor? If you can't save Li Shuchen, you can forget about your heads! What are you standing there for? Go and write the prescription and brew the medicine!"

"Yes, Princess Changning."

A group of imperial physicians retreated in disarray.

Princess Changning clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

"I'm going to kill Shen Fenghuang."

Gu Ziying sat down beside Li Shuchen's bed and said

"He is dead; his body is still in the bamboo forest on the outskirts of Beijing."

Upon hearing this, Princess Changning deflated like a punctured balloon, kneeling once more beside Li Shuchen's bedside, crying out...

"Li Shuchen, I was wrong. Please wake up. I'll never listen to men again, I'll never trust men again. From now on, I'll listen to you in everything. Whatever you say, goes. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west; south, north, I'll only go east, okay? Answer me, answer me!"

Princess Changning cried for an unknown amount of time, until she was exhausted and fell asleep.

Jade helped her to a chaise lounge to rest.

"Chen'er, my Chen'er, let your mother see you!"

Madam Li strode into the room and went straight to the bed in the inner room.

With red eyes, Mr. Li helped Mrs. Li up.

Gu Ziying stood up and said

"Uncle and Aunt, you've arrived."

Madam Li patted Gu Ziying's hand and said

Thank you for taking care of Chen'er, you've worked hard.

"It's not hard work, I just hope Shu Chen can wake up soon."

Madam Li sat down on the edge of the bed and gently touched Li Shuchen's bloodless face.

"Chen'er, you've suffered so many injuries, it must hurt a lot. Don't be afraid, Chen'er, Mother is here. Mother is here with you. No matter what happens to you, Mother will be with you."

Princess Changning, hearing the noise, slowly awoke and knelt before Master Li and Madam Li, saying...

"Uncle and Aunt, it's all my fault. Li Shuchen did this to save me. Hit me if you want."

Upon seeing this, Madam Li quickly bent down to help him up.

"How can we accept such a grand gesture from the princess? What Chen'er does is her own decision; we have no right to interfere, nor do we wish to. We only pray that Chen'er will be safe and sound."

"Li Shuchen will get better, she definitely will."

Princess Changning spoke in a very formal and measured manner, it was unclear whether she was trying to comfort herself or others.

……

In the past few days, Li Lingxiao, Xiao Xiuyuan, Murong Shuxue, the Liu siblings, and several other young ladies have all come to visit Li Shuchen, but Li Shuchen has still not woken up.

Gu Ziying and Princess Changning have always taken good care of her.

The day came to the seventh day

Three Treasures Hall

Princess Changning paced anxiously around Li Shuchen's bedside, sobbing loudly as she did so.

"Today is the seventh day, why hasn't Li Shuchen woken up yet? What should we do? What should we do?"

Gu Ziying stared blankly at Li Shuchen. Seven days had passed, and she still hadn't woken up. Was she really unable to wake up?

What should she do? How can she save Shu Chen? Who can tell her? Who can help her?

Tears, drop by drop, fell onto Li Shuchen's hand.

It's hot.

It's hot

"It's so noisy"

The girl on the bed slowly woke up.

The first thing I saw was Gu Ziying with swollen eyes from crying.

The second time I saw Princess Changning wailing...

Both of them looked somewhat haggard.

Gu Ziying and Princess Changning fell silent upon hearing the sound, their eyes fixed on Li Shuchen, not daring to blink, for fear that it was their imagination.

Li Shuchen spoke again.

"Changning, I'm so glad you're alright."

Upon hearing this, Princess Changning burst into tears again.

"Li Shuchen, you're finally awake! You scared me to death! Imperial Physician, I'll go get the Imperial Physician!"

Gu Ziying laughed and cried at the same time, speaking softly and gently.

"Shuchen, are you hungry?"

Li Shuchen shook his head and asked.

"How long have I been lying there?"

"Seven days"

Seven days? It's been so long already.

She's still alive, that's good.

Princess Changning said happily

"Quickly, take a look at Li Shuchen!"

Several imperial physicians looked at Li Shuchen with eager eyes. The young lady had finally woken up; if she hadn't, they would have lost their heads. These past few days, they had endured the princess's wrath daily, and they didn't know how they had survived. Thankfully, Miss Li had woken up, and their heads were saved. What a joyous occasion! What a joyous occasion!

The imperial physician calmed himself and placed his hand on Li Shuchen's wrist, then said after a moment...

"Reporting to Princess Changning, Miss Li's life is no longer in danger. However, she has suffered numerous injuries and has consumed a great deal of vital energy. She needs to recuperate slowly and remain in bed for a month before she can get out of bed."

Upon hearing this, Princess Changning immediately grasped Li Shuchen's hand.

"Li Shuchen, you're alright, that's wonderful! I'll take care of you for the next month. I'll stay at the Sanbao Hall and won't go anywhere else."

Li Shuchen replied

"No need, Grape can take care of me."

Princess Changning flatly refused.

"No, if you hadn't appeared in time to save me that day, I would have been dead long ago. You saved my life, so my life is yours. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do."
