"How is Xuan'er?"
Upon seeing Leng Ruoli emerge from the operating room, the Marquis of Jingyuan and his wife were naturally anxious to know Bai Yuxuan's condition. However, observing Leng Ruoli's weary expression, they hesitated to rush forward and bombard her with questions.
"Your Highness the Marquis, Your Highness the Marchioness, Princess Qingling's surgery was a complete success. As long as she rests well from now on, she will be fine."
"That's good! That's good! We are truly indebted to Consort Leng for Xuan'er's matter."
In an instant, the Marquis and Marchioness of Jingyuan's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in their sockets.
Subsequently, Leng Ruoli gave a few more instructions to the Marquis and Marchioness of Jingyuan. Xing'er and Chu Miaoling then helped her to a private rest room for staff to recuperate.
Leng Ruoli was so exhausted that she slept until dusk. When she opened her eyes again, she saw an unexpected person.
"Lier, you're awake!"
Jun Mohan looked at Leng Ruoli with a face full of doting affection. His gaze was so tender it could melt, staring at her intently. The deep love in his eyes was not concealed in the slightest, overflowing like a brimming lake.
"Jun Mohan, has the Emperor forgiven you so quickly?"
This development was somewhat unexpected for Leng Ruoli. She had originally thought the Emperor would make Jun Mohan kneel in the imperial study for three days and three nights. She hadn't expected him to be released less than a day after kneeling.
"He found me an eyesore kneeling before him, so he chased me out."
Jun Mohan said this in such a light and breezy manner, but Leng Ruoli knew it couldn't be that simple. It was certain that Jun Mohan had reached some agreement with the Emperor, which was why the Emperor had agreed to let him go.
"Did you promise the Emperor something in exchange for his leniency?" Leng Ruoli asked, looking at him with suspicion.
"No, I just said, 'If my wife gets angry because she hasn't had anyone by her side for many days, I will chase after her to the ends of the earth.' Then, my father let me leave the palace." Jun Mohan said lazily at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruoli immediately displayed a look of speechless exasperation.
"You're amazing! This young lady admires you! Admire!"
A moment later, Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan walked out of the rest room.
Leng Ruoli then busied herself with her rounds. She first went to Shui Yihe's ward and checked the sutured wound on his abdomen. She found that Shui Yihe's wound had already begun to form scabs, and his recovery was generally good. After the examination, she nodded with satisfaction.
"Consort, my stomach's recovery is truly thanks to you."
Shui Yihe looked at Leng Ruoli now with the same warmth and familiarity as he would his own mother.
"You, don't rejoice too soon. You must cooperate with the doctor's treatment and get plenty of rest. Also, your body has not yet passed gas, so absolutely no forbidden foods." Leng Ruoli patiently instructed him.
Upon hearing this, Shui Yihe nodded vigorously.
"Alright, Consort Leng, I understand. I will definitely listen to you, cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and rest well."
"That's good. However, after your tumor is treated, you must also pay attention to your diet in the future to prevent its recurrence."
Then, Leng Ruoli said sternly.
"Yes, I will definitely pay attention. Consort Leng, I will forever remember today's kindness. If there comes a day when Consort Leng needs my help, Shui Yihe, I will spare no effort to assist you."
Shui Yihe immediately made a promise to Leng Ruoli.
"Alright, I have remembered your words today. If I truly need your help in the future, I will certainly find you." Leng Ruoli replied casually.
At this moment, she had no idea that Shui Yihe would indeed become a great help to her in the future.
After hearing her words, Shui Yihe took out a piece of white coral carved in the shape of a small fish from his chest and presented it to Leng Ruoli.
"Consort Leng, I am from the East Sea. I left in a hurry and did not bring any other valuables. I will give you this white coral as a memento. If you visit the East Sea in the future, you can use this white coral to find me at the Shui family. I will certainly entertain Consort Leng with great hospitality." Shui Yihe said earnestly to Leng Ruoli.
"Alright, if I have the chance to visit the East Sea, I will definitely find you for a seafood feast."
Leng Ruoli glanced at the white coral Shui Yihe handed over. It was not a valuable item, so she casually accepted it and put it into her sleeve pocket. However, she did not take Shui Yihe's words to heart.
Next, she disinfected Shui Yihe's wound, applied medicine, and then left Shui Yihe's ward.
Subsequently, Leng Ruoli arrived at Princess Qingling's ward.
At this time, Princess Qingling had already woken up and was conversing with the Marchioness of Jingyuan. Upon seeing Leng Ruoli enter the ward, both of them became very excited.
Princess Qingling said with a smile, "Second Cousin-in-law, you're here!"
The Marchioness of Jingyuan also looked at Leng Ruoli with a smile and said, "Consort Leng, please come in and sit!"
Leng Ruoli responded to both of them with a bright smile.
"Marchioness, how is the Princess's condition? Is she experiencing any discomfort?" Leng Ruoli asked caringly.
"Currently, other than some slight pain at the incision site, Xuan'er has no other discomforts," the Marchioness replied with a relaxed expression.
"That's good. However, the Princess still needs to rest well. And remember, as long as your body has not passed gas, you cannot eat anything, not even drink water."
Leng Ruoli patiently repeated what she had just told Shui Yihe to Bai Yuxuan.
"Okay, Second Cousin-in-law. All the employees at your Anji Hall have told me this more than ten times. If I still can't remember, then I'm just..."
After Bai Yuxuan's condition improved slightly, she started to act playfully again.
"Alright, it's good that you remember!"
Saying this, Leng Ruoli approached her bedside. With the assistance of the Marchioness of Jingyuan, she examined Princess Qingling's private wound, disinfected it, and applied anti-inflammatory medicine.
"Marchioness, as long as the Princess's body recovers this time, such a situation will not occur again in the future."
Leng Ruoli said seriously to the Marchioness.
"Then, then... will it affect her ability to be a mother in the future?" the Marchioness of Jingyuan asked with an embarrassed expression.
"No, the Princess will be able to marry and have children normally in the future," Leng Ruoli replied with certainty.
"That's wonderful! I was always worried that Xuan'er wouldn't be able to be a mother, but now that I've heard Consort Leng's words, I feel instantly relieved."
As the Marchioness of Jingyuan spoke, her eyes became red, and tears welled up at the corners of her eyes. However, these were tears of joy.
"Marchioness, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore. The Princess will have her own children in the future," Leng Ruoli said again.
