The mother and son chatted for a while, and Princess Rui watched her son finish the bird's nest before preparing to go back to rest.
Li Zian stood up and was about to take her back to her bedroom. As soon as she left the room, she saw Jin Xi running in without caring about her manners.
Jin Xi stopped immediately when she saw Princess Rui and Li Zian, but she had just run too fast, and after stopping suddenly, she bent down uncontrollably.
She put her hands on her knees, panting so hard that she couldn't speak, but she raised her head desperately, as if she had something important to say.
Li Zian met her eyes, as if he felt something, and his heart beat violently, almost as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
Princess Rui didn't realize anything was wrong and said angrily: "I am usually the most stable child, what happened today?"
Li Zian began to feel that his mind was going blank, his throat was tight, and his hands and feet gradually felt a chill. He was so nervous that he froze and couldn't move.
Jin Xi managed to catch her breath and was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Zian's sudden stop.
"shut up."
Princess Rui and Jin Xi were both startled by him and looked at him.
"What's wrong?"
"ah--"
Li Zian took a deep breath, managed to calm down and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
Jin Xi immediately understood what Li Zian meant and realized how reckless she had been. She was so frightened that she raised her hand to cover her mouth and nodded repeatedly.
Princess Rui looked at her son, then at Jin Xi, and finally realized something.
Her eyes slowly opened and became moist.
She looked at Jin Xi eagerly, her tearful eyes full of pleading, for fear of getting some bad news.
When she saw Jin Xi nodding desperately at her, Princess Rui sobbed, her body went limp and she almost fell to the ground.
Li Zian grabbed his mother's back, forced himself to be calm and asked someone to pass the sedan over.
The three people hurried back to the palace. The palace was already in chaos. When they saw Princess Rui and Li Zian, they finally surrounded them as if they had found a backbone.
Princess Rui didn't care about them at all and walked quickly to the inner hall.
"Watch the door, no one is allowed to leave or come in." Li Zian gave a hasty instruction and followed his mother into the inner hall.
Before she even reached the bed, she heard the sound of Princess Rui crying.
Li Zi'an's heart was pounding, fearing that he had misunderstood the meaning.
But when he walked around the screen and looked at the bed extremely nervously, he suddenly came face to face with a pair of eyes that were a little cloudy but seemed to reveal thousands of complicated emotions.
"Dad!" Li Zian took two steps to the bedside and knelt down beside the bed with a plop.
Princess Rui was sitting on the edge of the bed, her tears pouring out like broken beads. She wiped the handkerchief wet, but she still couldn't stop it.
But the corners of her mouth kept turning up, and she smiled extremely brightly.
Li Zian knelt beside the bed, reached out to hold Prince Rui's hand, and choked with sobs: "Dad, you finally woke up!"
Prince Rui rolled his eyes, looked at his wife, and then at his son. He seemed a little confused at first, but then he seemed to understand something, and gradually became wet.
After Li Zian got over the initial excitement of surprise, he soon discovered the problem.
Although my father was awake, it seemed that only his eyes could move, and his body was still unable to move, and he could not even speak.
"Dad, can you hear us? If you can, just blink."
Prince Rui blinked slowly when he heard this.
"Can you move now? Or can you talk?" Li Zian asked again, "If you can't, just blink twice."
This time Prince Rui took a little longer to react. He seemed to be trying hard to do other actions besides blinking, but in the end they all probably ended in failure.
Prince Rui's eyes showed a bit of panic and helplessness, as if he didn't quite understand what was happening to him. After a long time, he finally blinked twice slowly.
Princess Rui looked worried and said quickly: "My lord, don't be anxious. Anyway, as long as you wake up, it will be a good thing."
Li Zian looked at his father, who was once a mountain for him to rely on, but now he was lying on the bed, unable to move, his eyes full of help, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
He grabbed Princess Rui's hand, put his parents' hands together, and held them all in his own hands.
A drop of uncontrollable tears fell silently, onto the interlocking hands of a family of three.
Princess Rui put her arms around her son's shoulders, patted her son comfortingly and said, "Good boy, I finally got through it after such a long time. The prince is getting better, thanks to Miss Shen, and also to you for being able to trust Miss Shen and fight with all your strength."
Everyone agreed to let her come and treat the prince..."
Prince Rui listened to them, but his thoughts quickly failed to keep up, and he looked confused.
Princess Rui turned her back, wiped away the tears on her face, turned around again and said with a smile: "My lord, don't be anxious, you have been in coma for more than four years, let's take our time.
"It's too late today. Let's rest first. I'll ask Miss Shen to come and take a look at you tomorrow.
"No matter how the follow-up treatment is, we just need to cooperate."
After Princess Rui finished speaking, she said with emotion: "The concubine will definitely be very happy when she finds out about this tomorrow morning."
Li Zi'an secretly thought that his grandmother was old now, so it was not appropriate for her to be overjoyed or sad.
How to discuss this matter tomorrow needs to be carefully considered.
Don't scare her out of your wits.
The room gradually fell into silence, but neither Princess Rui nor Li Zian wanted to leave, and they could not take their eyes away from Prince Rui.
Finally, seeing that Prince Rui seemed a little tired and his eyes were gradually unable to open, Li Zian reluctantly left.
Before leaving, he said to all the servants in the room: "The news that the prince is awake must not be spread out. Once someone leaks the news, I will not be lenient!
"Even if someone doesn't care about his own life, it's best to think more about your family!"
The people in Princess Rui's room have all been screened several times and confirmed to have no problems. What he said was just to give everyone another blow.
Once this news spreads, Huguang will no longer be stable.
After Li Zian returned, he lay in bed and couldn't sleep, fearing that when he woke up he would find that everything was in vain.
He even pinched himself a few times to confirm repeatedly that what just happened was not a dream.
Just now in front of his parents, he had been trying his best to suppress his emotions.
There was no one around at this time, and tears finally burst out of his eyes uncontrollably.
Li Zian slowly closed his eyes, letting tears fall down the corners of his eyes, but his face was filled with the happiest smile in years.
