Chapter 375 A Person Favored by Heaven
"Stop arguing, both of you!"
Seeing that Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua both shut their mouths and turned their heads away, ignoring each other, Little Fairy Doctor took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.
"Shi Shu is still unconscious, and you two are already arguing here? What's the point? Xuan'er, are you comparable to Shi Shu? You clearly know that in Xiao Wu's heart, you two are equally important, but in different ways. Don't you understand?"
"Humph!"
Zhao Xuan snorted coldly and said no more.
She knew she was worried about Shishu's injuries and also worried that Gu Zhanghua would cry endlessly and be on the verge of death. There was no way to comfort her, which was why she was upset and spoke recklessly.
Little Fairy Doctor looked at Gu Zhanghua again.
"I didn't treat Shishu immediately because I had already examined his injuries! I have confidence in my medical skills! Now you see, the facts speak for themselves, Shishu is still alive! What are you arguing about with Xuan'er?"
Gu Zhanghua rubbed his hands together somewhat embarrassedly.
"I was too impatient. When will Shishu wake up?"
"I apologize to you first. It was my fault for not telling you about Shishu's injuries beforehand, which made you worry. Shishu should be able to wake up after tonight."
Little Fairy Doctor readily gave Gu Zhanghua a curtsy.
"No need, no need, it's good that Shishu is alright. I was just... I was just worried and confused!"
"You haven't apologized to me yet, and you're saying I'm being unreasonable and irrational!"
Zhao Xuan, having gained an advantage, acted coy and refused to let the matter rest.
Gu Zhanghua was both amused and exasperated, and could only bow to Zhao Xuan.
"Sister Xuan, you're so magnanimous, please don't hold it against me!"
Zhao Xuan has a straightforward personality. Seeing that Gu Zhanghua admitted his mistake, she immediately took the opportunity to back down. Her anger just now vanished instantly, and she pouted and glared at Gu Zhanghua.
Little Fairy Doctor took one of their hands and earnestly advised them.
"You two are worried about Shishu, and so am I. Fortunately, he has now told us what he has kept hidden in his heart for many years. Resolving his inner turmoil will be beneficial to his recovery."
Gu Zhanghua sighed softly.
“I can only imagine how difficult his life has been since his uncle sent someone to contact him… He should have told me about these things sooner…”
Zhao Xuan disagreed with Gu Zhanghua's words and asked in return:
"What good would it have done to tell you sooner? His inner conflict would still remain unresolved. He cannot disobey his uncle's wishes, nor can he betray you. If I had told you sooner, he would have died long ago! That day would have just come sooner!"
"Sister Xuan, you're right. If it were me... I wouldn't know what to do either!"
"Xiao Wu, I'm not saying this to upset you, but this outcome is probably the best for Shi Shu."
Little Fairy Doctor continued to comfort Gu Zhanghua.
Gu Zhanghua suddenly bowed deeply to Little Fairy Doctor.
"Gu Zhanghua, on behalf of Shishu, thanks Little Fairy Doctor for saving my life!"
Little Fairy Doctor stepped behind Zhao Xuan, refusing Gu Zhanghua's greeting.
"I don't want your thanks. I want Shishu to thank me personally when he wakes up. It's him, not you, who owes me his life."
"I've thought of something, and I'd like to discuss it with you two," Zhao Xuan suddenly said, her face full of worry. "Shouldn't we tell Chunlan about Shishu's matter? After all, their relationship is quite special..."
"We should have told Chunlan in advance."
Gu Zhanghua was the first to express his agreement.
"Now that I think about it, Shishu and Chunlan used to have a very good relationship. Shishu's sudden change and his ignoring of Chunlan must be related to his uncle suddenly contacting him and giving him orders!"
"I'll go and talk to them! There's no time to lose, I'll go right now!"
"Alright! Then Xiao Wu and I will guard Shi Shu!"
The three quickly divided the tasks, and Zhao Xuan went straight to Chunlan's residence in the backyard.
It wasn't until dawn was breaking that Zhao Xuan explained the whole story to Chunlan.
Chunlan listened intently, tears streaming down her face, gradually soaking her clothes.
She could hardly believe that a young page who had grown up with the wise king was actually the little prince of the Chen Kingdom, which had been destroyed.
For many years, she has been quietly lurking by the prince's side, hoping to one day avenge her father and mother.
But when it came to the crucial moment of avenging his father, he chose to kill himself rather than harm the prince for the sake of righteousness.
It’s simply a fantasy!
Chunlan felt like she was dreaming, and in her dream she witnessed an unbelievable story.
The young boy grew up in the mountains. Although life was hard, he was loved by his parents and lived a carefree life.
One day, a person appeared out of nowhere. This person claimed to be the boy's only relative in the world, told the boy about his background, and forcibly placed the burden of national hatred and family feuds on the boy's shoulders.
Chunlan simply couldn't imagine how Shishu, who was only nine years old at the time, could accept this matter, and how he gradually transformed his original hatred for Gu Zhanghua into an inseparable brotherly affection.
Is such a servant worthy of her liking and love?
Zhao Xuan seemed to see through Chunlan's thoughts, took Chunlan's hand, and wiped away the tears from the corners of Chunlan's eyes.
"What will happen between you and Shishu in the future? It all depends on what you two think. Neither the Prince nor I will interfere..."
Although it was difficult to say, Zhao Xuan still frankly told Chunlan about her concerns.
“But Shishu is indeed no longer suitable to stay in the Prince Xian’s residence. As long as he is the prince’s bodyguard, his uncle and those who want to avenge Prince Chen will not let Shishu go! Chunlan, do you understand what I mean?”
“I understand!” Chunlan nodded vigorously. “To those people, Shishu’s existence is nothing more than a pawn to be manipulated at will! They don’t care what Shishu thinks, and they certainly don’t care whether Shishu loses her life because of it!”
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but reach out and embrace Chunlan.
"Chunlan, I hope you can be happy, but I also don't want you to live in fear with Shishu in the future, unable to have a single day of peace... Tell me, why are things in this world so difficult?"
Chunlan seemed to have made a decision in her mind, but she did not tell Zhao Xuan her thoughts. She only comforted Zhao Xuan in a soft voice.
"Don't worry about me, I know what to do! Your Highness, please trust me!"
It wasn't until after lunch that Zhao Xuan, Gu Zhanghua, and Xiao Yixian took turns resting for a while.
As dusk approached, the three of them gathered in the study again, but Shishu had not yet woken up from his coma.
"I'm not questioning your medical skills."
Gu Zhanghua has now learned to use rhetoric when speaking to Little Fairy Doctor. He first soothes Little Fairy Doctor's anger, which might arise from someone's doubts about her medical skills, before getting to the point.
"But Shishu has been unconscious for so long, shouldn't she wake up by now?"
The Little Fairy Doctor raised her hand and pressed on the pulse on Shi Shu's wrist, then nodded gently.
Just then, Shi Shu, who was lying on the soft couch, reached out with both hands towards the sky as if to grab something, and muttered to himself.
"Your Highness...Your Highness...You must live well..."
Gu Zhanghua quickly reached out and grabbed Shishu's hand.
"Shishu! Shishu! You're awake?!"
Shi Shu slowly opened her eyes, vaguely seeing the three people standing by the bed.
"Impossible... I'm definitely not going to survive this time... God won't favor me again and again..."
