Looking After a Battle God With Hundreds of Billions in Supplies

43 Giving Benefits

“Father, what should we do? Mother hasn’t returned yet. Father…”

“Don’t worry. She may have been held up by some matter. Let’s go first. She’ll catch up.” Xiao Jin consoled the two little ones in his arms.

However, the little ones were so fearful that Su Ying would not return that they were in no mood to listen to their father. Ling flung herself into Xiao Jin’s arms right away and began crying.

Although the older toddler did not cry, his tiny face was very tensed up and he looked extremely pitiful.

“Little Sister Ling, don’t cry. Mistress will definitely come back. She must have gone to buy delicious food for you. She’s so powerful. She’ll definitely catch up to us very soon.” Lin Sheng looked at the two younger siblings crying their hearts out and tried to comfort them.

The younger toddler Ling pouted her tiny mouth and looked very sad. “Big Brother Lin Sheng, are you telling the truth?”

Lin Sheng nodded with certainty. “It’s the truth. Mistress will definitely come back.”

After Xiao Jin and Lin Sheng pacified them for a while, the two little ones gradually calmed down. However, they looked listless and had completely lost their usual boisterous energy.

In Prince Ma’s Palace, as the surgery could not be carried out immediately, arrangements were made for Su Ying to stay in a guest room in the Palace.

The maidservant brought a sumptuous meal into the room.

“Miss Su, it’s time to eat.”

Su Ying smelled the aroma of the food and a trace of a smile appeared on her face.

There were eight dishes and one soup, and Su Ying finished them all without leaving a crumb behind.

The maidservants looked at the plates that had been completely cleaned out and were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.

Although Prince Ma had chosen Su Ying to treat the Princess Consort, he had secretly sent people to monitor Su Ying’s every move. When he found out that Su Ying did not do anything strange other than having a big appetite, he did not say anything.

Princess Consort Ma’s surgery was not exactly a minor procedure. If it were done outside, the risk would be relatively high, especially when it came to the use of anesthesia. Therefore, Su Ying planned to bring Princess Consort Ma into the operating room in the interspatial store tomorrow for the surgery.

Su Ying slept soundly without dreams the whole night.

She slept through the night until daybreak. After she washed up and had breakfast, Prince Ma sent someone over.

“Miss Su, His Highness has already ordered people to prepare everything. If you discover anything lacking, just tell me. I will go and prepare it at once.”

“No need. Just put Princess Consort Ma in the empty room that was prepared yesterday.”

“Understood.”

The horse carriage and Sima Chen were already waiting outside the room. Princess Consort Ma had also been carefully carried into the room.

“Your Highness Prince Ma, Your Highness Crown Prince.”

“I have already followed your instructions. The Princess Consort has not eaten or drunk anything for the past twenty-four hours,” Prince Ma said.

Su Ying nodded. “Good. Your Highnesses, please wait outside.” With that, Su Ying pushed the door open and walked into the room.

Even though Prince Ma had already mentally prepared himself to trust Su Ying, when he saw her close the door, he couldn’t hold back his anxiety and walked to the window intending to open it and take a peek.

“Father, since we’ve made our decision, let’s just wait patiently.” Sima Chen called out to stop him.

Prince Ma’s expression froze for a moment before he flung his sleeves and sat down in a separate room.

After Su Ying entered the room and made sure that no one was peeking, she carefully brought Princess Consort Ma into the operating room inside the interspatial store.

She skillfully attached the medical instruments to the Princess Consort’s body to monitor her condition.

After completing all the examinations on Princess Consort Ma and determining the part to be removed, Su Ying picked up the scalpel and began cutting through her flesh…

Prince Ma’s butt had become numb from sitting. When he saw that it was almost past noon, and the door of the room next door did not seem to be opening soon, he became anxious to go and check on the situation. Fortunately, he was dissuaded again by Sima Chen.

Su Ying didn’t leave the room until sunset.

Upon hearing movement inside, Prince Ma immediately walked out. When he saw Su Ying, he anxiously asked, “How’s the Princess Consort? Is the treatment successful?”

Su Ying heaved a faint sigh of relief. “The surgery was very successful. All the lesions have been removed, and the lesion has not spread for the time being. Her life is saved for now. As long as she takes her medicine on time henceforth, there should be no major problems.”

Upon hearing Su Ying’s words, Prince Ma let out a deep breath.

“This is really great news.”

Prince Ma ordered his men to carefully carry Princess Consort Ma back to the bed.

“For the next seven days, I will stay in the Palace to observe the Princess Consort’s progress. After seven days, if the Princess Consort is fine, I will take my leave.”

Sima Chen didn’t expect Su Ying to leave so quickly. “Why don’t you stay for a few more days, Miss Su?”

“There are so many patients in the world. Princess Consort Ma is not the only patient I have to treat, so please forgive me, Your Highness.”

Sima Chen had no words to refute her.

“But before I leave, I can teach Your Highness an internal strength breathing technique. It will help you open the Qi gate in your heart. Over time, your heart ailment will not act up anymore.”

Sima Chen was surprised to see that Su Ying still remembered his ailment.

“Don’t worry. I am teaching this breathing technique to you free of charge, Your Highness.”

After Su Ying was done with the surgery, she did some calculations while she was monitoring the patient in the interspatial store, and realized that the reward of ten thousand taels of gold was much more than she had imagined. Hence, she generously gave Sima Chen some free benefits.

“Then I must thank you, Miss Su.”

At Su Ying’s request, Sima Chen brought her to the pavilion in the back garden of the Palace.

Su Ying gestured for Sima Chen to sit down cross-legged.

“The breathing technique places great emphasis on the breathing method. It sounds simple, but it’s not easy to accomplish. First, please close your eyes and slowly breathe in through your nose, Your Highness. Breathe slowly but forcefully.”

“Keep drawing in the energy of nature into your dantian and then use your mouth to breathe out. When the energy passes through your chest, do you feel the obstruction? It’s okay. You can slowly breathe out and use the energy in your body to break through the obstruction bit by bit.”

When Prince Ma passed by the corridor, he saw the two of them in the pavilion.

“What are the Crown Prince and Miss Su doing?”

“Your Highness, Miss Su could tell that the Crown Prince has a heart ailment and said that she would teach him a breathing technique to regulate his breathing and break through the obstruction in the Crown Prince’s heart.”

Prince Ma frowned and left with his attendant without saying anything.

For the entire day, Sima Chen was practicing the breath-regulating technique with Su Ying. What surprised him was that after practicing for the whole day, not only did he not feel tired, but he also felt much more energetic than usual.

“This breathing technique can also regulate the Crown Prince’s Yang energy to a certain extent. As long as you continue to practice, your body will exhibit obvious changes in less than a month.”

Sima Chen was really impressed by Su Ying now. “Thank you so much, Miss Su.”

“Don’t mention it.”

“Your Highness, please keep up with the practice. I will take my leave now.”

After Su Ying and Sima Chen parted ways, she returned to the guest room.

After dinner, Su Ying lay on the bed and looked at the pink and pale green canopy. She was thinking about Xiao Jin and the others. They must have gone far away by now. She wondered how the two little ones were doing and whether they missed their mother.

Su Ying placed her hands behind her head and suddenly found that she had become so wishy-washy. Was it because there was someone she cared about that she became so different?

Su Ying rolled over and closed her eyes.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard a flurry of footsteps outside the door.
