The more Xiao Linzi thought about it, the more confused he became. His Majesty had clearly gone out today to test the Princess of Shen, so why was he like this when he returned? Furthermore, His Majesty's anxiety was genuine. He had been by His Majesty's side for so many years, and had never seen him so concerned about a woman. He had even summoned the Imperial Physician, but only His Majesty and the Queen Mother had the right to appoint one...
They couldn't have made a wrong bet...
When the imperial physician arrived, Ji Chenan had already placed Jiang Ziyi in his own palace.
The four gray-haired imperial doctors had been running so much that their shoes were about to fly off. When they learned that His Majesty had summoned them in connection with the newly arrived Princess Shen, they were so frightened that their beards stood on end.
After taking Jiang Ziyi's pulse, the imperial physician found that her pulse was relatively stable, but she had lost too much blood and the wound needed to be stopped. Since the wound was in a private location, she needed to take off her clothes before applying medicine. The imperial physician discussed it and decided to let a palace maid do the operation on her behalf.
"Your Majesty, the process of applying the medicine is quite bloody, please step aside for the time being."
"No need, I will apply the medicine to her myself."
Imperial Physicians: ???
Are they experiencing auditory hallucinations because they are old?
The Imperial Hospital also heard something about His Majesty and the Princess of Shen. On the day of marrying her into the palace, His Majesty did not stay overnight, causing Princess of Shen to be a laughing stock in the palace. Overnight, everyone was saying that the princess was just a simple hostage, an abandoned child, and was not favored by His Majesty.
Seeing it today, it seems... that's not the case...
On the contrary, they felt that His Majesty seemed to be really interested in this woman.
Seeing that the imperial physician said she was fine, Ji Chenan was relieved. The imperial physician prescribed some medicine that needed to be decocted and taken orally, and also prepared some ointment for application and handed it to Ji Chenan.
"All of you, get out."
After receiving this order, no one dared to stay any longer.
Eunuch Lin and a group of imperial doctors quickly slipped away.
Ji Chenan held the ointment and murmured to Jiang Ziyi who was lying on the bed. "Thank goodness you're okay."
He sat on the edge of the bed and carefully undressed her. Because it had been a long time, some of the fabric had stuck to the wound. The clothes pulled on the wound, causing Jiang Ziyi to frown slightly.
Seeing her expression, Ji Chenan moved more gently, fearing that he would hurt her again.
When he unbuttoned the top half of her clothes, he saw a bloody wound on Jiang Ziyi's shoulder. It looked like it would definitely leave a scar...
He used a clean cloth to clean the blood from her wound, and carefully applied ointment on the wound. Perhaps because the ointment contained anesthetic ingredients, it was cool and relieved a lot of pain. Jiang Ziyi's breathing became longer and longer, and it seemed that she was relieved a lot.
Just as Ji Chenan was about to help her put on her clothes, his eyes involuntarily glanced at her body. There were several whip marks on her waist and back. The scars were still pink and tender, and the injuries must have been caused not long ago.
Such an injury should not happen to a princess of a country.
When they first met, he also listened to the envoy's report on the situation on the way to the marriage, and knew that Jiang Ziyi had never put on airs along the way, and was even very kind to the people accompanying her. Even when they stayed overnight at the post station, she did not have any special requirements. She did not have any of the shortcomings commonly seen in most princesses.
He originally thought that the State of Shen was sending an assassin to take advantage of the situation. He thought that even if it was an assassin, it didn't matter. At worst, he could kill him and have a reason to destroy the State of Shen. But he didn't expect that they would send a woman like Jiang Ziyi who was so difficult for him to understand.
The look in his eyes when he looked at her suddenly became complicated.
Jiang Ziyi, who are you?
"When you get better, I'll make sure you explain everything to me!"
Jiang Ziyi had no idea what would happen after she passed out. She applied some medicine and the pain subsided. After falling into a deep sleep, she had a dream. She dreamed of her parents divorcing when she was a child. Her mother looked down at her with disgust and said, "I wish I hadn't given birth to you."
She woke up instantly.
It was already dark outside and there was no light in the house. The pain from her wounds was so severe that she couldn't move. Perhaps because she had lost a lot of blood, her throat was so dry that it felt like smoking.
"Caiyun... Caixia... Shui..." Jiang Ziyi could only make a hoarse sound. Her shoulders hurt so much that she couldn't exert any strength and couldn't even sit up.
The next second she was shocked. Something moved beside her? !
When the candlelight at the bedside was lit, he realized that the figure was His Majesty!
Oh my God, what happened? How could she sleep with His Majesty?!
Ji Chenan ignored her shock, lit the light, and calmly poured her a glass of water.
But the imperial physician said it would be best to lie down and rest for the first few days to prevent the wound from splitting.
So I took a small porcelain spoon and prepared to feed her little by little.
It was just that Jiang Ziyi was so shocked that she lost all the water she was fed and didn't drink any at all.
"Open your mouth wider!" Seeing that the water had flowed all over her neck and she still looked unconscious, Ji Chenan could only take out a handkerchief to wipe her clean and continue to feed her water.
Jiang Ziyi quickly opened her mouth wider and was able to drink the water successfully.
After drinking the water, Jiang Ziyi felt much better and her throat was not as dry and sore anymore.
A pair of big hands covered her forehead, "It's okay, no fever."
"Are you feeling any other discomfort?" Jiang Ziyi looked at the emperor in front of her who was being gentle and caring towards her, and she still couldn't understand what was going on.
She only dared to use her body as a shield to ensure the successful completion of the mission, and because she had the amulet to protect her.
But seeing Ji Chenan's attitude change 180 degrees, could it be that he had always been wary of me before, and only changed his mind because of my bravery...
That was a good bet! Jiang Ziyi thought so in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face.
"Your Majesty, Ziyi is much better now. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Ahem..." After saying that, he pretended to cough.
"The imperial physician said that you'd better rest for a few days to prevent the wound from cracking."
"You will stay in my palace for the next few days. If you need anything, you can tell Xiao Linzi."
"Would you like some more water?" Ji Chenan asked gently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Ziyi is not thirsty anymore." Jiang Ziyi replied weakly.
After hearing what she said, Ji Chenan walked to the bedside and blew out the candle again.
The room suddenly became dark. Jiang Ziyi was sleeping on the inside, and Ji Chenan was sleeping on the outside of the bed. When he lay on the bed, the mattress sank slightly, and the quilt fluttered, all of which indicated that she, Jiang Ziyi, and Ji Chenan were sleeping in the same bed, in the same quilt!
I thought progress had stalled, but now it seems to be progressing at a breakneck pace! So, it shouldn't be far from being toppled.
But the key now is to recover from the injury quickly, otherwise there will be no way to do "vigorous exercise".
