Looking closely, Ning Lao Tai’s anxious face came into view.
“Grandmother,” Ning Wan Wan called softly.
Ning Lao Tai quickly sat by the bed, holding her hand and patting it, choking with emotion, “You child, are you trying to scare your grandmother to death? Fainting every other day.”
Ning Wan Wan felt a pang of guilt, “I’m sorry for worrying you again.”
Her peripheral vision caught an imperial physician, Xu Fengyu, kneeling by the bed, removing the silver needles from her body. She wondered why he was in the Ning Guo Gong Fu.
Her grandmother’s gaze flickered, “It’s good that you’re awake. You should be grateful to the Crown Prince. If he hadn’t brought the two best imperial physicians from the palace to treat you, you might still be in a coma.”
Ning Wan Wan was stunned and noticed Crown Prince Si Yi sitting upright on the yellow rosewood luohan bed.
Si Yi saw her looking and quickly raised his chin, “Don’t get any ideas. I’m only doing this out of respect for Ning Lao Tai.”
Ning Wan Wan smiled bitterly, “Your Highness, I absolutely will not overthink it. Thank you, in any case.”
She never expected Si Yi would personally bring imperial physicians to visit her.
Wasn’t he always disgusted by her?
Ning Lao Tai’s probing gaze swept between the two, understanding something in her heart.
Si Yi stood up, hands clasped behind his back, and said proudly, “Since you’re awake, I’ll take my leave.”
As Ning Lao Tai prepared to see him off, Si Yi quickly added, “Ning Lao Tai, please stay.”
Ning Lao Tai nodded, instructing Chang Nanny, “Chang Nanny, personally see the Crown Prince out.”
“Yes.”
As Si Yi was about to leave, he remembered something and turned back to the imperial physicians, saying, “You two stay. Wait until the Junzhu can get out of bed before leaving.”
The physicians quickly responded, “Yes.”
After Si Yi left, Ning Wan Wan looked around the room and frowned, asking Ning Lao Tai, “Grandmother, where are Bai Yi and Zhan Xiang?”
Ning Lao Tai glared at Ning Wan Wan, saying, “These two knew you were ill but didn’t notify me, hiding and causing mischief, almost causing a major mistake.”
