Chapter 42 The Golden Needle

Book:Reborn as A Princess Published:2024-5-1

The heavy rain hits the Chinese parasol trees frequently, the cold wind crushes on everyone’s face and heart, harsh and shrill. It seems like Charlie’s fate has made by God and will be ended today. He has become calmer, from his breath. Seems like he’s falling asleep, peaceful and quiet, like a baby angel in heaven. Ron’s heart collapsed. Wendy feels the same, she shuts herself in her room, continues thinking of how to rescue him. All of a sudden, a feeling of ambitious and motives runs through her body, she makes the decision. She must try the very last time for little sweet Charlie. She checked her wound on the leg and feels fine with it. She jumps off her bed and grabs her golden needles, then walks out by Daisy’s gazing.
It’s too dark outside, the grey sky has covered by the beastly roaring clouds. The rain becomes harder and harder, it doesn’t want to stop. Wendy ignores everything, she walks faster and faster despite she can’t see clearly on her way to the Sunrise Palace. She falls one or two times on the way, onto the grey marble stairs. Her old wounds begin to bleed again… Inside the palace, Prince Zack and Princess Zena see a small figure running in, they can’t figure it out who it is? When that figure comes closer they know It’s Wendy! Why is she here? They stop crying and stare at her, running into Charlie’s room.
“Wendy?? Why you are here? Would you please let my Charlie go peacefully?” Ron gets surprised when she sees Wendy, who is all soaked by the rain standing out. Wendy doesn’t respond, she walks directly to Prince Charlie, and takes her needles out. “Well, if I can’t save him, I will die with him too.” She murmurs to Ron and Charlie, panting. Daisy feels something is going to happen, she runs to report Sung at once.
“Bring me to the Sunrise Palace, now!!” Sung yells to his guards outside after he hears Daisy. “Your majesty, you can’t go there now. You are sick.” Daisy persuades him while he doesn’t listen, “I said I must go now, go call someone to bring me there!” Sung yells back to her, Daisy has no choice to follow him out. When Sung and Daisy arrive at the Sunrise Palace, all people include Ron, are waiting outside, their faces look terrible. Sung passes through them straightly to Wendy, he knows she’s inside! When he is about to kick the door open, Wendy strides out. She is very weak, her head is bleeding too! She faints to his arms. Sung see this, he is too panic to hematemesis, due to his heart gets compression and the blood stirs havoc inside! Wendy and Sung scare of everyone!
“Hurry!! Bring the Royal Princess and Prince in!!” Ron yells to the servants around. After a while, Wendy and Sung both lie on the bed, they are not looking well. Sung looks better than Wendy, he just needs to rest a bit then his body will recover. On the contrary, Wendy is not that lucky. She has a high fever from her wound infected. The doctor tries to cure her with acupuncture, while nothing works. Sung asks Zack what happened before he’s here? Zack told him the whole story, about how Wendy saved Charlie…
“Again! She saved people and made herself in trouble!” Sung is shocked by her, he blames himself badly. He promised to protect her, but he didn’t. Fortunately, Prince Charlie now has wakened up! He is sucking milk from Zena’s chest. Looking at his little pink face, everyone feels better in this room, he is like the first sunlight shines in the early morning. The Queen also hears about this, she is too happy to pray to the Buddha many times. In the meantime, she runs to come to check Wendy with the King.
Wendy lies on the bed, remain unconscious, her face as pale as snow. The wound on her head has infected and fester. “You guys, make her recover no matter what!!” The Queen orders to all doctors there with her serious tone. Young and Felix nod with gratitude, they will try their bests to cure Wendy even though the Queen doesn’t mention! The Queen asks Sung to go back for some rest, after she knows he just hematemesis. However, Sung insists to stay with his woman, Wendy.
“Mother, let them stay together I suggest, they used to fight every day. But look at them now, how lovely when they stay with each other!” The Royal Empress suggests to Queen with satisfied. The Queen considers for a while, then nods, she turns to the King, “My son, look at them, such a lovely mandarin! Poor Yasmin, she is truly a nice woman for our Sung! You must reward her when she wakes up!”
“No problem, mother! Even you don’t mention, I will reward her! Whatever she wants, I will give to her! She is wise and wonderful. She helped me a lot. I would pick the stars in the sky for her if I could!” The King replies, nodding in a cheerful mood. The Queen smiles back, her smile creasing her forehead with deep wrinkles. The nanny brings Charlie to her, “My dear Queen, look at our sweet Prince Charlie, he just drank lots of milk! I’m sure he will be a healthy boy!”
“Great, great! Healthy is good!” The Queen touches Charlie’s little feet, “I hope he eats a lot when he grows up, hah! Go reward everyone in the Sunrise Palace, 100 grams of silver!” The Queen orders with her grin from ear to ear. Everyone is cheering in the room. Princess Zena comes to response, “Grandma, it’s not that good to eat a lot, he will eat all the delicious food in our palace.” Everyone bursts to laugh. “Well, I don’t mind! I will give him anything he wants! Eating is good, then he can be the healthiest Prince in our country, hah!” Ron is the only one who doesn’t laugh there. She comes forward to the Queen.
“My Queen, I am guilty! I am a bad person!” Ron kneels in front of the Queen.
“What’s wrong with you now? Why you feel guilty? You should be happy now!” The Queen asks, confused. “I used to blame and yell to Yasmin yesterday. All because I’m pissed from Charlie’s fever. But today she sacrificed her life, almost, to save our Charlie. I feel… Terrible.” Ron bursts into tears. The Queen looks surprised, she doesn’t know about this before. Everyone knows except her.
She looks at Ron with disappointing and scolds, “Well, you should feel guilty, Ron. Yasmin saved your grandson, with her crystal preciousness heart. How could you blame her, despite she wouldn’t be able to save Charlie? By the way, Charlie got sick was not her fault either, but she would like to rescue him, that’s a great honor for all of you!” The Queen turns to everyone, “We are lucky she has a good heart, after the scolding, she still has a generous heart to save people around. If not, our Charlie would die. We all must thank her when she wakes up!” Turning back to Ron, sighs, “I thought you were a good person, but I didn’t expect your behave like that. So I ask you to apologize to Yasmin when she wakes up. She is your grandson’s Godmother now. So you, Zack and Zena are all her dear family in our palace. I won’t blame you, if you treat her nicely. Do you understand?” Ron nods with tears.
Sung nods as well constantly, he feels happy for Ron’s apologizes. In the meantime, he promises to himself, he will treat Wendy nicely when she wakes up. He won’t let her run around wild again, until her wounds are all recovered!
The second day, Wendy wakes up! She sees Sung sitting on her bed, watching her with sympathy. Then she recalls all her memories about what happened last night. “Aww… I guess I will have scars.” She touches her wound on her forehead and complains.
“Scar?! I wish you have died!!” Sung replies with anger, pouting his mouth. Wendy sees through him, he just pretends to get pissed again. She laughs, “Your Majesty, do you know how ugly you look, when you are pissed?”
Sung raises his voice, replies, “Nonsense! Don’t you ever think to move again, before your wounds are recovered! I warn you now!” Wendy replies with a warm smile, “You are being hegemony!” Sung pouts his mouth again and says, “If you dare to walk, I will break them, like how I break other’s legs!” Wendy ignores him and turns her face aside.
“You are just like your sister, both of you, are like little foxes. Always make me worry!” Sung complains, with a little smile on the face. Wendy argues back, “Then I am the smart one compare to her.” Her words make Daisy laugh, “Your Majesty, you are adorable and fussy one, at least.” Three of them are laughing together, such a harmony view.
