Chapter 1556: 1556 Chuanzi woke up 3

"I want to see Brother Chuan one more time before returning to the mansion," Gongsun Qianru plotted in her heart. No matter what, she had to confirm whether Xiao Yuchuan was truly awake or if he had been sleeping all this time—could it be that he was suffering from an incurable terminal illness?

"That’s fine," said Shen Yun, who needed to make some arrangements. As long as she let Gongsun Qianru see her son in a comatose state, that would suffice. "I’m feeling a bit fatigued right now. I’ll rest for one hour, and then we’ll go together."

"Then Qianru won’t disturb Lady Xiao’s rest. I will wait for you at the entrance to the South Garden in a while," she said.

Shen Yun nodded, which served as an agreement.

Gongsun Qianru surely knew that Shen Yun obviously needed this hour to make some preparations.

On returning to the West Garden, she saw a woman dressed as a maid inside the room, who had already been waiting there.

This woman, who understood medical skills, was named Luo Feng.

She had Luo Feng dress in the attire of a maid from the Gongsun Mansion, intending to use this opportunity to see Xiao Yuchuan to figure out what was really going on with him.

One hour later, Shen Yun and Gongsun Qianru met in the yard of the South Garden. Shen Yun saw that Qianru’s attendant, in addition to Xia He, included another unfamiliar face. This made her wonder, but since the Gongsun family had brought a few maids over, bringing one more was not unusual, so she didn’t say anything about it.

After entering the side room in the South Garden, Xi’er, who was serving inside the room, respectfully said, "Lady, Miss Gongsun, the young Master has just become tired and has gone back to sleep."

"This child, Chuan’er, wasn’t he just informed by someone that Ru’er was coming? How could he have fallen asleep? Really..." Shen Yun had already arranged for a fake Xiao Yuchuan to be hidden away, and the one on the bed was indeed him in a deep sleep.

Gongsun Qianru took a bowl of medicinal broth from the basket Xia He was carrying, "Lady Xiao, this evening’s medicinal broth strengthens the Qi and concentrates the spirit. It’s very effective. I would like to wake Brother Chuan to drink a little."

"He’s asleep now, just put it aside. Once he wakes up, I will have the kitchen warm it up before bringing it to him," Shen Yun said calmly.

"It’s fine, I’ll ask Brother Chuan if he wants to drink some..." While speaking, she walked to the bedside with the medicinal broth in hand, but accidentally slipped and the broth spilled onto the bed, wetting the quilt, "Oh no!" she exclaimed. "Quick, help wipe Brother Chuan down!"

At that moment, Luo Feng, disguised as a maid and a female doctor, hurried forward. Pretending to wipe the quilt for Xiao Yuchuan, she swiftly reached out to check his pulse.

"How can you be so careless!" Shen Yun scolded, but refrained from speaking too harshly. However, she immediately realized the trick Gongsun Qianru was playing when she saw the maid reach out to Chuan’er’s pulse!

She darkened her expression, "Such clumsy hands! Xi’er, aren’t you going to step forward and replace the dirty quilt?"

"Yes," Xi’er hurriedly pushed Luo Feng aside. "I’ll do it."

Luo Feng hadn’t finished checking the pulse and naturally refused to relent, still wanting to continue checking Xiao Yuchuan’s pulse.

At this time, Xiao Yuchuan’s eyelashes on the bed fluttered, and he opened his eyes.

Xi’er was shocked, "The young Master is awake!"

She knew the young Master had been in a coma because he had been drugged, so her exclamation was uncertain whether to be taken as shock or joy.

Shen Yun’s heart skipped a beat. She had already instructed Doctor Li to administer a sufficient dosage of a soporific to Chuan’er. How could he suddenly be awake?

In case he found out that he was about to marry Gongsun Qianru... the consequences...

When Gongsun Qianru saw Xiao Yuchuan’s eyes open, she hurried forward in delight, "Brother Chuan, you’re awake!"

Xiao Yuchuan’s head felt groggy, having lain on the bed for nearly two months until his bones felt almost crushed.

Still groggy from sleep, his vision was somewhat blurry. He instinctively called out, "Wife..."

Gongsun Qianru knew he was calling for Su Qingyue. Her face turned pale, "Brother Chuan, I am Qianru."
