"Mom, please eat quickly, and the pain will go away."
After calming down, Shen Nian'an forced a smile, opened her mouth with deep emotion, and drank the medicine fed by her daughter. Next, Zhou Zhaonuan took the spoon and fed it to her mother one spoonful after another.
Zhou Zhaonuan fed the patient unhappily, but Shen Nian'an drank the medicine comfortably. After swallowing a bowl of medicine, Shen Nian'an actually felt that the medicine was not bitter at all. He even looked at the bowl of medicine in Zhou Zhaonuan's hand with an unsatisfied look.
That look seemed to be saying, my daughter, is there any more? Your mother can drink three more bowls.
Zhou Zhaonuan: “…”
The little girl looked at her mother nervously, then at the empty medicine bowl in her hand, muttering to herself, "My mother shouldn't have a fever, or maybe she's dazzled. Why would my mother like to drink medicine? It's bitter and smelly."
The little girl couldn't help but put her hand on Shen Nian'an's forehead and compared the temperature with her own forehead. It was the same, and her heart was relieved.
The doctor said that if my mother had a fever, it would be a bad sign.
"As long as Mommy wakes up and doesn't have a fever, Nuannuan will be relieved. Daddy, come here quickly and help Nuannuan help Mommy lie down. Daddy, let's wait a few days before leaving. Mommy is like this, so she needs to rest well for a few days."
As he spoke, Zhou Zhaonuan walked towards Zhou Beichen, grabbed his clothes by the arm and pulled him forward.
Zhou Beichen: “…”
Although he is the husband and father of each of them, he is also the king of a country after all. Why does he become a foil when it comes to his daughters? He comes when summoned and leaves when dismissed. The most important thing is that he actually likes to see him.
There wasn't even a trace of anger in my heart.
Zhou Beichen stepped forward cheerfully and reached out to help Shen Nian'an, and the two of them finally adjusted the pale-faced woman on the bed into a comfortable position.
"An An, you should have a good rest. I think this place is quite big. The big ones are hidden in the forest, and the small ones are hidden in the city. I guess that the man in black will not be able to think that we are hiding here for a while."
Zhou Zhaonuan also echoed, "Yes, mother, Daddy has probably thought of everything they can think of, so you can stay here with peace of mind. We can stay for eight or nine days before leaving."
The man in front of her was very thoughtful, and her daughter was also well-behaved and cute. Shen Nian'an nodded. She was very tired from losing too much blood, and after a while, she fell asleep.
Deshun came in from outside, looked up at the sleeping Shen Nian'an, and knocked on Zhou Beichen's ear and whispered.
"Master, our people have found it."
He gave Deshun a look, and Deshun immediately shut up and ran outside to wait. Zhou Beichen looked at Zhou Zhaonuan and touched his daughter's hair lovingly.
"Nuannuan, please stay here with your mother. Daddy has something to go out for."
Knowing that Zhou Beichen was busy, Nuannuan nodded obediently and smiled sweetly.
"Daddy, Nuannuan understands. Nuannuan will definitely take good care of mom."
Zhou Beichen walked out, and in another room, Deshun was still talking in a low voice.
"Master, this time the assassin seems to be a death squad hired by Prime Minister Li, which is why he attacked so recklessly."
Zhou Beichen slammed the table. Although Deshun was very familiar with this, he still got a fright.
Zhou Beichen sneered, furious. He opened his mouth, but swallowed back the curse that was about to come out of his mouth. "Go, tell Wang Da to find his men and kill those assassins as soon as possible. Bring me their leader's head, or don't come back."
Deshun shuddered and replied cautiously, "Yes, I'll go right away."
Afterwards, Zhou Beichen found the memorials that King Qi had sent to him at full speed in the past few days and started reading them. Some unimportant matters were skipped by King Qi, and the rest were all important matters.
In addition, the King of Qi wrote a special letter to Zhou Beichen, saying that Zhou Zeyun had successfully entered the capital and had taken away half of the food, and was now preparing to provide disaster relief.
Some officials in the court seemed to know something, and many ministers who had been on the same side with Prime Minister Li gradually separated from him, including several people in the Censorate.
Zhou Beichen sneered. These people in the Censorate were all thousand-year-old foxes, playing games with him. Today they were loyal to one, tomorrow they were loyal to another, and when he got rid of Prime Minister Li, they would kill them all together.
Zhou Beichen was still angry all morning. At noon, Zhou Zhaonuan served Shen Nian'an his meal. Soon it was afternoon. Zhou Zhaonuan heard Deshun say that Zhou Beichen had not eaten yet. The little girl personally brought a few side dishes and some food to Zhou Beichen.
"I submit that Princess Chang'an is a woman. Your Majesty, by allowing her unimpeded access to the Xuanzheng Hall, is already violating ancestral rules. Now, he's making an exception and allowing the princess to listen to court officials' discussions. This is simply unacceptable. The princess, no matter what, is a member of the harem. Since ancient times, harem officials have been forbidden from interfering in government affairs."
Zhou Beichen sneered and was thinking about reprimanding the Minister of Justice when he returned to the court. When he looked up, his dark and deep eyes met a clear but melancholy gaze, and he was stunned.
Nuannuan lowered her head and spoke softly.
"Daddy, has Nuannuan caused you trouble again? We are facing internal and external troubles now, and Nuannuan is also making Daddy worry."
Zhou Beichen's expression became stern, and his tone was full of comfort. He closed the memorial with a snap, waved his hand, pulled the little girl in front of him, and spoke earnestly.
"Nonsense again, silly girl. You are my daughter, how could you cause me trouble? These old men are too backward in their thinking. What's wrong with women? How can women serve the country and make contributions? Nuannuan, you must remember that women are not men's appendages, nor are they objects for bearing children. Even if you get married in the future, you must be able to control your husband."
Perhaps because they are his first children and have been with him for so many years, Zhou Beichen always has a deep love for Zhou Zhaonuan. Subconsciously, he hopes that his daughter can be like a boy and not have to be trapped in the deep palace backyard all her life, living a life of intrigue every day.
Hearing this, Zhou Zhaonuan rolled his eyes cunningly and mumbled,
"Daddy teaches his daughter this way, but Daddy, why can't Mommy control you? Mommy has to listen to you. Although Mommy doesn't listen to you on some small matters, Mommy listens to you on many big matters. I even kneel to you at every turn."
Zhou Beichen rolled his eyes, knowing that his daughter was talking about national affairs, and he answered rather awkwardly.
"Then you haven't seen your mother being so fierce in private. Even the big tree has to give her three moves. Privately, most of the time, I listen to your mother."
Also, he is an emperor, not an ordinary citizen.
Zhou Zhaonuan blinked and looked like he understood.
"So, Nuannuan is going to marry an emperor in the future. Privately, I have to make him listen to me, and publicly, I also have to listen to him."
