…

Princess Zhining fell unconscious for less than two hours before a skilled woman in the mansion revived her with Dragon Qi.

If Suo Lun were here, he would definitely recognize the scent of this woman.

This woman, named Yao Yue, was the one who blinded Suo Lun.

If it hadn’t been for Yao Xing, Suo Lun would have truly been blinded forever.

She was petite, appearing as if she were a girl of thirteen or fourteen.

Her face was also extremely delicate and alluring, resembling a young girl in her teens, evoking a sense of immense pity at first glance.

However, only she knew her real age.

The first thing Princess Zhining did upon waking up was to drink half a bowl of ginseng soup, then she struggled to get up and said, “I need to go to Brother Zili.”

Then, she weakly boarded the carriage and headed towards Prince Zili’s residence.

…

In recent days, Wangcheng Zidu has experienced a whirlwind of changes.

For several days, there was only one topic of conversation among everyone, which was Suo Lun.

Of course, there were a few dozen extremely lucky individuals as well.

Because Princess Zhining truly paid out more than 150,000 Gold Coins; she actually managed to cover the astronomical gambling debt.

This also allowed her previously tarnished reputation to regain a little luster.

When Duke Zhi Ting heard the news of Suo Lun’s defy-the-heavens victory, he was completely stunned.

At first, he couldn’t believe it and sent people to verify it over and over again.

Upon receiving final confirmation, he burst into joy and laughed heartily in his courtyard.

He had rashly bet 7,000 Gold Coins on Suo Lun’s victory, mainly out of spite for Zhi Li, never really expecting to see that money again.

Unexpectedly, Suo Lun had created an unprecedented miracle, and the 7,000-gold bet turned into 70,000 Gold Coins.

Duke Zhi Ting was immensely wealthy, but much of his wealth was in real estate; the actual Gold Coins he could mobilize were only several tens of thousands.

Suo Lun, in collaboration with over a dozen brothels, launched the Wangcheng Nineteen Hairpins plan, which indeed was impressive.

However, the total profit margin was only in the vicinity of 20,000 to 30,000 Gold Coins.

Yet with this wager, Duke Zhi Ting earned a full 70,000 Gold Coins, effectively doubling his liquid capital in hand.

Carried away with excitement, he almost couldn’t resist tossing aside the King’s House Arrest Decree to head over to Earl Tianshui’s residence and get drunk with Suo Lun.

Later, when he heard that Suo Lun was completely unconscious and might even have been permanently blinded, his ecstasy diminished somewhat.

Then, he was extremely eager to see the expressions on the faces of Zhi Li and Zhining; they must have been quite spectacular.

Of course, in the end, he had to remain inactive, as the King’s House Arrest Decree made him not dare to step out of his threshold.

He might be domineering, but he dared not disobey his elder brother Zhi Bian’s imperial edict in the slightest.

…

And the girls from the brothels of Wangcheng who likewise fell into surprise and delight — together they had bet over 2,000 Gold Coins on Suo Lun’s victory, with no other intention than to acquire Suo Lun’s favor, thereby receiving promotion and an increase in their own value.

Yet unexpectedly, Suo Lun truly won and, in the end, created a miracle thought impossible to achieve.

As a result, their 2,000-plus Gold Coins transformed into more than 20,000 Gold Coins.

Even for these popular brothel girls, it was a fortune of enormous proportions.

As for the noble schoolgirls, they had bet all their pocket money on Suo Lun, purely out of being his enthusiastic fans.

Subsequently, their investment of over 2,000 Gold Coins also turned into more than 20,000 Gold Coins.

Each received several hundred Gold Coins, enough to substantially enrich their future dowries, even though they really didn’t feel like marrying anyone now.

In short, at this moment, it was a situation where thousands laughed while Zhining’s family wept.

However, the man who created this miracle remained unconscious the entire time.

Ever since Suo Ningbing fell into a coma after biting his tongue, he did not wake up on the first day, nor the second, nor the third day!

By the fourth day, he still had not awakened.

Suo Ningbing sat vigil at his bedside all this time, barely closing her eyes, and her tears truly were about to run dry.

Seeing the comatose and pale-faced Suo Lun, she felt so distressed that she could hardly breathe.

Ye Jingyu did not know how many times she had tried to persuade her to sleep, offering to keep watch over Suo Lun in her place.

However, Suo Ningbing insisted on staying by Suo Lun’s side, wanting to be the first to see him wake up.

But after several days and nights without sleep, her slightly frail body was definitely not going to hold up.

In the end, Ye Jingyu had to gently tap on the back of her neck and use a sleeping potion to knock her out, ensuring she got some rest in bed.

Then, Ye Jingyu took Suo Ningbing’s place and sat by Suo Lun’s bedside, vigilant day and night.

Even she, who had never prayed before, prayed to heaven every day, hoping that Suo Lun would wake up and his eyes would regain their sight.

She was even willing to trade her own eyesight in exchange.

…

Now, it was already the fifth day.

Normally, the King would issue the noble samurai medals in another day and even bestow upon Suo Lun the title of Earl Tianshui, the City Lord of Tianshui.

Yet, he still had not woken up.

And Ye Jingyu, who had not slept for two days and nights, finally couldn’t resist and slumped over on the bed, falling asleep.

But Suo Ningbing, who Ye Jingyu had put to sleep using her methods for two days, finally woke up.

As soon as she awoke, she rushed to Suo Lun’s bedside.

Seeing that Suo Lun still had not awoken, her heart sank.

But when she saw that his complexion was much rosier, although his face had clearly thinned, Suo Ningbing stroked his face with pity and couldn’t resist pressing her own against it.

After hesitating for a moment, she immediately went out and bathed and changed clothes as fast as she could, even using rose essential oil, a rarity for her.

Despite the fact that her tears were nearly all shed, and although someone had told her that Suo Lun’s eyes would be completely blind, she did not believe that heaven would treat him, such a lovable boy, in that way.

So she wanted to make herself beautiful and fragrant.

Once Suo Lun woke up and opened his eyes, he would see a beautiful her, so that he wouldn’t worry.

Gently applying lip rouge to her delicate, petal-like small mouth, Suo Ningbing suddenly looked even more stunning, radiating brilliance.

Then, she gently lay beside Suo Lun, softly holding his body and whispering in his ear, “Wake up, my treasure, as long as you can wake up and your eyes can heal, I’m willing to do anything.”

Just like that, she held Suo Lun gently, praying in her heart while whispering in his ear.

After how long, Suo Lun’s body suddenly trembled, and then his hands instinctively searched around.

“Sister, sister…” he called out, still with his eyes firmly closed, his entire demeanor extremely restless.

Suo Ningbing then cried tears of joy, hugging Suo Lun and saying, “I’m here, sister is here…”

“Silly, you’re not allowed to do this anymore.

You don’t want to make me worry, but it just makes me worry more, do you understand?” said Suo Ningbing.

“I was wrong…” Suo Lun said.

Suo Ningbing gazed at him for a long while, then once again pulled him into her arms, as if savoring the feeling of having regained what she had lost.

And at that moment, a cough came from the side.

Ye Jingyu awkwardly said, “I, I don’t mean to interrupt you, but there’s something important.”

Suo Ningbing quickly let go of Suo Lun, not daring to face Ye Jingyu, and asked, “What is it?”

Ye Jingyu said, “Two eunuchs have arrived, one with a decree from His Majesty the King.

The other is from the household of the young Master of Duke Zhi Li, bringing an invitation.

Prince Zili is inviting Master Suo Lun for a meeting.”

Suo Lun was startled, the King’s decree had finally arrived, but why was Zili inviting him?
