Chapter 177 Afraid of Pain
"hold me."
Xie Jingyu carried Chen Wan forward. Chen Wan had a foot injury and felt insecure, so she could only hold him.
Back at Zhaolanxuan, Xie Jingyu put Shen Wan on the small couch and helped her take off her shoes.
This time the injury was so severe that even taking off his shoes caused Shen Wan's forehead to tremble in pain.
Looking at her ankle, it was red and swollen, and Shanhu Yinchuan felt extremely distressed.
Xie Jingyu put Chen Wan's feet on his legs and kneaded them gently. Chen Wan endured the pain and didn't cry out. She wanted to pull her feet back, but Xie Jingyu held her down and she couldn't move.
Shen Wan's ears turned red. She was used to Xie Jingyu bullying her, but she had never seen Xie Jingyu like this.
The feeling that she was really being held in his palm came back again.
Very strange.
Could it be that I'm hallucinating because of the pain?
Shen Wan didn’t even dare to look at Xie Jingyu, but his voice came, “There shouldn’t be any broken bones.”
But her skin was so red and swollen that Xie Jingyu did not apply medicine to her and waited for the imperial physician to come.
Soon the imperial physician arrived and helped Shen Wan check her ankle. He said, "The Crown Princess's injury is not light, but fortunately, no bones are broken. Try not to walk on the ground for the next two days."
Shen Wan asked, "How long will it take to fully recover?"
Doctor Li said, "It will take at least five or six days, depending on the recovery."
Shen Wan said, "Please give me a definite answer, Doctor Li."
Doctor Li, "......???"
How can we give a definite answer to this?
It takes several days to recover between resting in bed and running around.
Seeing that Doctor Li didn't say anything, Shen Wan said, "It's not that I want to embarrass Doctor Li, I'm just afraid that others will say that I'm faking illness..."
Shen Wan said this while looking at Mother Wu outside the bead curtain.
Doctor Li was a smart man, and he understood what Shen Wan said.
Doctor Li said, "It will probably take ten days to fully recover."
Shen Wan nodded, "Thank you, Doctor Li."
Doctor Li left a bottle of medicine for treating sprains and then said goodbye.
After Doctor Li left, Madam Wu came in and said, "The Crown Prince's Consort has sprained her ankle. The old lady is very worried and ordered this servant to come and see her."
Shen Wan said, "I'm sorry to have worried the old lady, but I'm afraid I won't be able to pay my respects to her in the next ten days..."
"The Crown Princess's health is very important."
Mother Wu bowed and stepped back.
Xie Jingyu applied medicine to Shen Wan, and Shen Wan blushed and said, "Just let the maid apply medicine to me."
"Don't move."
He didn't listen at all.
Shanhu Yinchuan went out with a tactful look.
Chen Wan wanted to drag the two maids back. She knew that the medicine Xie Jingyu applied to her was very light, but he was a martial artist, and what he thought was light was not something Chen Wan could bear.
She couldn't bear his feelings.
Chen Wan felt like she was being tortured instead of given medicine, and tears streamed down her face from the pain.
"Gentle, gentle, gentler..."
There was a cry in the voice.
Xie Jingyu looked at her and said, "If I move any more gently, I won't be able to touch your feet."
Shen Wan said, “Just pour the medicine on my ankle, don’t touch it.”
Xie Jingyu, “…”
This is how afraid of pain.
Xie Jingyu could only pour the medicine on his hand, rub it, and then cover Shen Wan's ankle.
When he covered her, the pain was so severe that Chen Wan felt like his soul was leaving his body. However, after enduring that pain, he felt much more comfortable at his ankle. His palms were burning hot, all the way from her ankle to her heart and then to her cheek.
After applying the medicine, Xie Jingyu carried Shen Wan to the bed. Shen Wan felt that she was not unable to walk these few steps, but because it was only a few steps, she was already on the bed before she could refuse.
Xie Jingyu sat with Chen Wan for a while and then left. Shanhu Yinchuan came in, and Chen Wan told Shanhu, "Bring me the set of gold-inlaid jade fan-shaped jewelry from my dowry."
Coral went to the warehouse and quickly found the jewelry.
A complete set of gold and jade jewelry, exquisite and worth a fortune.
Shen Wan said, "Send it to the fourth lady."
Shanhu was a little reluctant, but if Xie Zhiyao hadn't helped Chen Wan in time today, Chen Wan's injury would have been more than just a sprained ankle. What's more, Xie Zhiyao was injured while saving Chen Wan.
Chen Wan has never been a stingy person. If Xie Zhiyao helps her, she will definitely offend Xie Zhihuan and Xie Zhirou. With such a good opportunity, she will definitely take the opportunity to win them over.
In his previous life, Xie Jingyu killed Concubine Wen and the second wife, but spared the fourth wife and even made Xie Jingxuan the Duke of the State. This shows that the fourth wife of the Jingbei Palace is a kind person and worth winning over.
Shanhu went to the North Courtyard and returned quickly, saying, "When I left, Imperial Physician Li had just left after examining the Fourth Young Lady's injuries. The maid was applying medicine to her. The Fourth Young Lady's knee was bruised and it wouldn't heal in ten days."
"The princess also sent someone to deliver a reward: a pair of gold hairpins, a jade bracelet, four pieces of Shu brocade, and some supplements."
In the evening, Shen Wan knew that his left eye was not twitching randomly.
When the prince came back from the military camp, he heard that Xie Zhihuan and the others had conspired to plot against Chen Wan, causing her to sprain her foot, so he sent people to deliver a lot of things.
Of course, what was given to Chen Wan was not a reward, but compensation.
Shen Wan had just married in not long ago, and had not provoked Xie Zhihuan and the others, yet she was innocently targeted by them. If the prince did not express his position, Shen Ji would not agree.
The prince not only compensated Chen Wan, but also asked Xie Zhihuan, Xie Zhirou and the others to reflect on their mistakes in the Buddhist temple and apologize to Chen Wan. He promised that they would not be forgiven if they made the same mistake again.
Chen Wan was barely satisfied with this treatment. When Yun Shi heard about Chen Wan's injury, she came to visit her. She didn't say anything else, but felt sorry for her. "They say that the Jingbei Palace is a harmonious family. Your mother and father thought that you would live a happy life if you married the Jingbei Prince..."
Chen Wan said, "The reputation of the Jingbei Palace is well-known, and you and father are still worried. The Dingguo Mansion is a mess. If you don't manage the Dingguo Mansion properly, Princess Jiangling will definitely have a worse life than his daughter if she marries Big Brother. I'm afraid that Prince Yong's Mansion won't be at ease with Princess Jiangling marrying Big Brother either."
Chen Wan was not worried about herself. She had no plans to be with Xie Jingyu for a long time anyway. She was worried about Princess Jiangling. The old lady and the second house were jealous of the eldest house. If they were not separated from the house, there would be no guarantee that they would not cause trouble.
However, it will take a few months for my elder brother to marry Princess Jiangling. I hope that by then, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion will only have the eldest son's house.
Yun chatted with Chen Wan for a while. The princess came to look after Lanxuan and invited Yun to take a walk in the garden. When Yun left, the princess saw her out of the house.
In addition to the Yun family, Shen Yu and the Yun sisters also came to visit Shen Wan.
After four days of recuperation, Shen Wanwei's injury was almost healed, but she did not leave the room.
Doctor Li said that she would need ten days of recuperation to fully recover. How could she not let Xie Zhihuan, Xie Zhirou and the others copy Buddhist scriptures in the Buddhist temple for ten days?
I don’t know whether Shen Wan is lucky or Xie Zhihuan and the others are unlucky.
On the evening of the tenth day, it started raining, intermittently, for three days.
Since Chen Wan didn't go out, the princess didn't let Xie Zhihuan and the others leave the Buddhist hall. When Concubine Wen went to find the princess, the prince happened to be there too. Not only did Concubine Wen fail to ask the princess to release Xie Zhihuan, she was also punished by the prince to go to the Buddhist hall and reflect with Xie Zhihuan and the others.
It's very satisfying.
After the rain, the sky cleared up. Chen Wan, who had been lazy for more than ten days, went to Wing Chun Temple to pay his respects to the old lady.
Seeing her, the old lady's face was dull, "The sprained ankle is finally healed."
"I'm sorry to make the old lady worried."
The Third Madam said, "This is the first time I've heard of a sprained ankle that takes half a month to heal. The Crown Prince's Consort is a bit too delicate. How can she, so delicate, help our Jingbei Palace to have more children?"
The third wife felt that her daughter was too innocent to be punished, so her words were a bit harsh.
Shen Wan didn't say anything, and the princess smiled faintly and said, "People with weak bodies won't cause any trouble to others. Only those with vicious hearts will harm others and themselves."
No one in the room dared to respond.
Who has a vicious heart?
There are several harmful girls in the mansion.
Concubine Wen and the Second Lady's faces turned greener and greener.
The princess said to Shen Wan, "You must be feeling suffocated after being cooped up in the house for so many days. Let Yu'er accompany you to the streets to relax."
"Thank you, mother."
