Su Wanyan was speechless and pushed the door open.
Hearing the door open, Yu Nanqing immediately felt guilty. He looked up and saw Su Wanyan standing in front of him, hands on her hips: "Yu Nanqing!"
Yu Nanqing, drenched in sweat from practicing, sat on the parallel bars, meeting Su Wanyan's eyes without daring to move: "You...you're back?"
"You're really...you're going to be the death of me!" I've been holed up in the mansion for almost two months without going out, and the first thing I do when I step out is to pull this stunt!
She snapped, "Do you even want your leg anymore? Didn't I say we should proceed gradually? Am I your mother? Do I have to watch you every day? Are you going to get treatment or not? If not, then don't get treatment at all!"
Yu Nanqing lowered her head: "I... don't feel tired."
He really didn't feel tired.
He even felt that with a little more practice, he would be able to stand up on his own and no longer need these tools.
"Bullshit!" Su Wanyan was furious. What kind of patient was so disobedient? She walked to the side, pushed the wheelchair, and shoved it directly under Yu Nanqing's butt.
Yu Nanqing was bumped by her and fell hard onto her wheelchair.
The appearance was anything but beautiful; in fact, it was quite pathetic.
Yu Nanqing: "..."
Su Wanyan walked up to Yu Nanqing, squatted down, and examined his legs: "Is there anything that hurts?"
Yu Nanqing shook her head: "No."
Su Wanyan looked up at him: "Really not? Don't try to be a hero."
"Really, no."
Su Wanyan was somewhat surprised because his leg muscles had already begun to atrophy, so his recovery shouldn't have been going so smoothly.
At first, Yu Nanqing needed Tian Zhong's support, but now she can hold onto the parallel bars by herself.
She asked Tanaka, "How long have you been training here?"
"It started as soon as the Empress left the palace."
Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the streets are bustling with people. She had made an appointment with Su He, and fearing that she would be late, she left the mansion at around 7:45 AM. It is now lunchtime.
I've been practicing for three hours already.
Seeing that his leg was not seriously injured, Su Wanyan couldn't say anything to scold him. She just stood up and said, "Don't do such a mess next time."
Paralysis combined with malnutrition will not only cause muscle and nerve atrophy, but also bone calcium loss and even necrosis. Yu Nanqing has been ill for three years, and it is very dangerous for her to suddenly engage in such high-intensity training.
It can only be said that Yu Nanqing himself has excellent qualities.
"Mmm," Yu Nanqing replied obediently.
"Bullshit!" Su Wanyan glanced at him: "Now you've agreed, but you're back to practicing recklessly. If you keep doing this, I'll take all this equipment apart and let you practice with ghosts."
"..."
"From now on, one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. We'll increase the amount after the Lunar New Year. Don't do anything reckless again, or I really won't care about you anymore!"
Yu Nanqing asked curiously, "How long is an hour?"
Su Wanyan let out a sigh of frustration: "Half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the afternoon! Understand?"
Is an hour half a shichen?
Where is the calculation method used?
Yu Nanqing responded, "Mm."
"Have you eaten?" Su Wanyan asked again.
Yu Nanqing shook her head: "Not yet."
Yu Nanqing's forehead was covered in sweat. It was freezing outside, so Su Wanyan simply instructed, "Tanaka, take him to take a hot bath first. I'll go to the kitchen and make something to eat."
Tanaka bowed and said, "Yes."
This side room has a bathroom; you can just have the servants bring you hot water.
When Niu Da was asked to build the rehabilitation equipment, he originally wanted to build it in the backyard, but considering that it was already winter, it would be too cold to build it outside, and Yu Nanqing's body could not be exposed to the cold, so he chose a side room to build it.
Besides the parallel bars that Yu Nanqing practiced on, there's also a horizontal bar, used to help him stretch his body.
Some are used for leg stretches and to assist in joint training.
Yu Nanqing's legs can't just be enough for him to walk; she needs him to be able to run, jump, and even fight normally. She wants him to recover to the state he was in before he was paralyzed, which requires careful monitoring and care.
That's why Su Wanyan gets angry when Yu Nanqing acts recklessly.
Yu Nanqing might not think anything of it, or even feel that her legs are getting better, but she doesn't know if it might cause damage to other parts of her body, such as her knees.
Once damage is caused, it is irreversible.
Even if the condition heals well later, there may still be long-term side effects.
Su Wanyan is not incurable, but this phenomenon could be prevented from the beginning, so why take such a risk?
In the small kitchen, Su Wanyan was simmering a medicinal soup when Wang Zhang came over: "Your Majesty."
Because it was the New Year, Wang Zhang was dressed festively, but now his face showed a serious expression as he stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, the people who robbed the caravan have been identified."
"who?"
"Lady of the Marquis of Yuanning".
"Zhen Yuhuai?" Su Wanyan was somewhat surprised; she never expected it to be Zhen Yuhuai.
Wang Zhanggong nodded: "That's right. A few days ago, Wei Xiang wrote to me that after he settled down, he immediately went to look for the bandits' lair along the way. Unexpectedly, the bandits there claimed that they had not robbed our caravan."
Mountain bandits would never dare to rob a caravan of royalty or high-ranking officials.
Moreover, it was within the territory of the capital city.
Caravans belonging to royalty and nobles usually carried flags, making them easily identifiable.
In order to clear their names and clear their names, the real bandits helped Wei Xiang follow the clues and find the group that was impersonating them.
After being subjected to severe interrogation by Wei Xiang, the group confessed to being the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Did Zhen Yuhuai hire them?" Su Wanyan asked.
"Yes." Wang Zhang continued, "After Wei Xiang sent his letter, this old servant investigated the capital."
As Wang Zhang spoke, he took out several sheets of paper from his chest: "Your Majesty, please take a look."
Su Wanyan took it; it was a list of hired workers, detailing Zhen Yuhuai's transactions and the prices listed. Su Wanyan was startled: "One thousand taels?"
Wow!
If we successfully rob their caravan, we'll pay them a reward of one thousand taels.
Su Wanyan laughed: "Are these robbers really that valuable? Can we take them on? If we do it ten or eight times, we can easily get ten thousand taels of silver."
"Huh?" Wang Zhang was slightly taken aback. Could it be like this?
No... Is Your Majesty joking or serious?
He carefully observed Su Wanyan's expression, and then Su Wanyan looked at the list from side to side and asked, "Where did this list come from? Can it be used as evidence?"
“This…” Wang Zhang said truthfully, “I’m afraid it’s impossible. This list was obtained by this old servant from the black market. The person who provided this old servant with the clues was just an intermediary. The real people who do the hiring business are all hidden in the dark. It’s not easy to find them.”
These are the rules of the black market.
Even if it were Lady Yuanning, who hired those people to pretend to be bandits, it would probably be through an intermediary, without direct evidence.
"I see." Upon hearing this, Su Wanyan returned the list to Wang Zhang: "Then you should send these lists to Marquis Yuanning."
Sending the list over signifies that Prince Gong's Mansion is aware of their despicable deeds. If Marquis Yuanning was involved, this might serve as a slight deterrent.
