Chapter 114 You are my wife, and it is only natural (4000 words)
Without waiting for Jiang Youning to answer, Xie Jing stood up and strode out.
Jiang Youning heard that the food had been eaten, and then she felt pain all over her body. She moved her body and gasped in pain.
"Hiss! It hurts!"
Xie Jing heard her screaming in pain as soon as she came in, and strode over, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Youning was in so much pain that she dared not move. Now she could see Xie Jing more clearly. Her voice was a little hoarse, "My body hurts."
Xie Jing had seen the injuries on her body before, all bruised and purple, caused by a fall.
"Don't move."
Jiang Youning didn't want to move either, but just lay there with her back hurting.
"It hurts even if you lie still."
Xie Jing looked at her aggrieved look. He wished he could take her place in the pain. He was not afraid of pain.
"It will be better in two days." Xie Jing said as he took out a soft pillow. He bent over and carefully picked her up.
Jiang Youning frowned in pain. "It hurts."
Xie Jing's hands were already very light. Seeing that she was still in pain, he didn't know where to put his hands.
But there is a saying that a short pain is better than a long one.
Xie Jing took the soft pillow and put it behind her back with nimble hands and feet, and then slowly put her on the pillow.
After putting it away, he looked at Jiang Youning, "How does it feel?"
Jiang Youning forced a smile through the pain: "The soft pillow is more comfortable than the bed."
Chuntao came in with dinner, and saw Jiang Youning on the bed, and she felt so distressed.
Chuntao had prepared dinner long before Jiang Youning came back.
Jiang Youning smelled the fragrance of the food from a distance, and she was so hungry and craving for it.
"I want to eat." If she hadn't been in pain, she would have gotten up long ago.
Chuntao brought the food to the bedside, "Madam, I made your favorite braised pork and four-happiness meatballs."
When Jiang Youning heard about braised pork and four-happiness meatballs, her eyes lit up, and even the pain in her body was relieved a little.
Xie Jing looked at her impatient look, and he walked over.
Seeing the general coming, Chuntao stepped aside.
Xie Jing picked up the rice bowl, picked up some of her favorite dishes, then sat down on the bed and passed the rice bowl to her.
"Eat."
Jiang Youning took the rice bowl, held the chopsticks in one hand, picked up a piece of braised pork and started eating.
Xie Jing saw her wolfing down the food and reminded her, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
Jiang Youning took the time to reply, "I'm so hungry."
She didn't eat much when she was in Bailin Temple. What time is it now? She was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back.
Xie Jing said in a deep voice, "Then eat slowly."
"Yeah, I know." Jiang Youning agreed verbally, but her eating speed did not slow down at all.
After she was half full, she slowed down her eating speed.
Xie Jing sat aside and watched her wolfing down her food. Actually, it was not so bad, at least she could eat.
Jiang Youning ate three bowls of rice in a row and stopped eating. She was very hungry and her appetite was not that big at the moment.
Chuntao cleaned up the leftovers and left.
Xie Jing asked, "Do you want some water?"
Jiang Youning realized how thirsty her throat was after she had finished her meal. "Yes, I'm dying of thirst."
Xie Jing turned around and came to the table, picked up the teapot, poured warm water back to the bed, and handed the teacup to her, "Drink slowly."...
Jiang Youning nodded, but when the teacup was handed to her lips, she took a sip and found that it was not hot, so she drank a few more sips to quench her thirst.
After finishing the drink, Xie Jing put the teacup back on the table.
Jiang Youning had time to look at Xie Jing. He was wearing a blue narrow-sleeved brocade robe, the same as he wore before leaving today.
Just now, she saw him sitting by the bed. Could he be watching over her?
If Chuntao was the one who was watching over her, how could he, a general, come?
Xie Jing returned to the bed and saw that she was staring at him
. He said, "Go to sleep."
Jiang Youning nodded. She was indeed very sleepy now. If she wasn't hungry, she would probably sleep all day long.
Xie Jing bent down and picked her up. He was very careful, afraid of hurting her. He took away the soft pillow and slowly put her down.
Jiang Youning was just filled with hunger, and now seeing his cautious look in close contact, it
was a bit difficult for him, a great general.
After lying down, Jiang Youning saw Xie Jing was already beside the bed, and he looked like he wanted to keep watch for her.
"General, you don't want to sleep?"
Xie Jing helped her tuck in the quilt and said, "You go to sleep."
Jiang Youning felt a little embarrassed to let him, a great general, keep watch over her day and night, and he said it was not convenient for a man.
"Are you going to keep watch, General?"
Xie Jing said "hmm".
Jiang Youning said, "Let Chuntao take care of her. The general is so busy during the day, it's better for him to rest early."
Xie Jing raised his head and looked at Jiang Youning, "Do you think Chuntao can hold you?"
Jiang Youning was speechless for a moment. Chuntao really couldn't hold her. Xie Jing was very strong and could easily hold her up, which could also reduce the pain.
"Then I'm sorry, general."
Xie Jing said, "You are my wife, it's my duty to take care of you."
Jiang Youning was stunned for a long time after hearing this, looking at Xie Jing's serious face. No, his face has always been serious.
Why is he so serious?
She smiled, "General, you are really responsible."
Xie Jing said, "It's my duty."
Jiang Youning: "..."
Jiang Youning was really tired at this moment. She fell asleep almost immediately after closing her eyes.
Xie Jing sat by the bed, looking at the sleeping person in the dim candlelight. Knowing that she was afraid of the cold, he reached out to tuck the corner of the quilt for her.
He didn't stop until she was wrapped tightly.
At five o'clock in the morning, Jiang Youning closed her eyes and began to groan, "It's so uncomfortable... go away..."
Xie Jing just squinted for a while, and when he heard the groan, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Youning. He saw that her brows were wrinkled. When he got closer, he heard her say, "I killed someone..."
Xie Jing's eyes froze. He was indeed a little curious. How did she, a delicate woman, escape from those robbers?
Seeing her frightened look, I'm afraid it's not just because of the murder.
Jiang Youning frowned, "I feel so uncomfortable, so cold..."
Xie Jing reached out and touched her forehead, and found that her forehead was very hot, "You have a fever."
It was freezing cold, so it would be strange if you didn't catch a cold with so little clothes.
"I'm going to find Wen Xianyu."
Xie Jing stood up and walked out.
Wen Xianyu was sleeping soundly at the moment, and the door was kicked open with a loud "bang". ….He
jumped up from the bed in shock and looked towards the door, "Who?"
Xie Jing said, "Aning has a fever, go and see her."
Wen Xianyu heard Xie Jing's voice, and just breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his breath again, "I'll go right away."
"Hurry up." Xie Jing threw down two words and strode out.
Wen Xianyu hurriedly came out of the warm quilt, dressed as quickly as possible, and after getting dressed, he walked out quickly with the medicine box.
Xie Jing's temper is getting more and more irritable.
After Xie Jing came back, he heard her shouting that she was uncomfortable, no, and go away.
Wen Xianyu also heard it when he came in. Jiang Youning was scared this time.
He sat by the bed, took Jiang Youning's hand, and felt her pulse.
Xie Jing stood aside, staring at Jiang Youning. Seeing her like this, he felt very distressed.
Wen Xianyu took back his hand, and Xie Jing asked, "How is she?"
Wen Xianyu said, "General, the lady has caught a cold and has a high fever due to excessive fright. I will go and prescribe medicine to reduce the fever."
Xie Jing said, "Why
don't you go?"
"I'll go right away." Wen Xianyu hurriedly walked out with the medicine box.
Xie Jing looked at her uncomfortable look, but he had no way to help her, and couldn't help but frown.
"Go away..."
Xie Jing heard Jiang Youning's muffled cry, he grabbed her hand and said, "It's okay, this is the general's residence, no one dares to come."
Xie Jing's words had the effect of inspiring people, and the same effect also had on that lady.
After Jiang Youning heard it in a daze, she really felt better.
But she still cried out in discomfort.
It would take a while to boil the medicine, Xie Jing was so anxious.
After Wen Xianyu brought the medicine, Xie Jing still said, "Why are you so slow?"
While speaking, he took the medicine from his hand.
Wen Xianyu: "..." He was already as fast as he could.
Xie Jing passed the medicine to her lips and blew on it until it was no longer hot, then passed it to Jiang Youning's mouth, only to see her closing her eyes and shaking her head.
He said, "This is antipyretic medicine, you won't feel uncomfortable after drinking it."
But Jiang Youning didn't listen at all, she just smelled the bitter taste and instinctively dodged.
Xie Jing saw that she still couldn't drink the medicine, so he simply pinched her jaw, opened her mouth, and then poured the medicine in.
Wen Xianyu, who was watching from the side, felt that Xie Jing was too rude, how could he feed medicine like this?
The medicine was half for her, half was sprinkled, and finally she drank it.
Just after feeding, Jiang Youning began to cough violently and vomited out half a bowl of medicine.
Wen Xianyu saw it and couldn't help but remind him, "General, the medicine is bitter, you can't force feed it."
Xie Jing thought of what Chuntao said, that if he force fed it, he would vomit.
He raised his head and looked at Wen Xianyu; "Are there any more medicines?"
"Yes, I'll get them now." Wen Xianyu walked out quickly.
When he came back, he had an extra bowl of medicine in his hand.
Xie Jing took the medicine and learned his lesson this time, and didn't force feed it.
He first coaxed, "Aning, drink the medicine, I will buy you whatever you want to eat, and I will also get you cakes from the palace."
Wen Xianyu listened, is this okay?
Xie Jing tried to feed the medicine, this time, Jiang Youning's resistance was not obvious, she drank half a bowl, and then she didn't drink it again, probably because it was too bitter. …
Wen Xianyu went to get a cup of warm water and handed it to Xie Jing, "General, the medicine is too bitter, drink it with warm water and it will be better."
Xie Jing held the teacup and handed it to her mouth. Afraid that she would vomit, he said, "This is boiled water."
When feeding, Jiang Youning did not vomit. After feeding
, Xie Jing asked, "About when will the fever go away?" Wen
Xianyu said, "Within half an hour."
Xie Jing frowned, "So long?" Wen Xianyu
was embarrassed, I have never heard you say so long before?
"General, within half an hour, it is just an approximate hour, it may also be a cup of tea."
Xie Jing nodded, "You can leave."
Wen Xianyu took the medicine bowl away before leaving.
After everyone left, Xie Jing stood up to tuck in the quilt for her, saying that sweating would be better if she caught a cold.
Jiang Youning kept complaining about being cold, so he walked to the closet, opened it, and took out another quilt to cover her.
This quilt was softer and not too heavy, so it was not uncomfortable to cover herself with.
At dawn, Jiang Youning, who kept complaining about being cold, was about to kick the quilt. He reached out his hand to her forehead and found that the fever had subsided.
He breathed a sigh of relief and took away the extra quilt.
When Jiang Youning woke up, it was already afternoon.
She opened her eyes, but didn't react for a while. She was weak because her fever had just subsided. It took her a
while to react. She saw Chuntao cleaning up and called out, "Chuntao."
Chuntao ran over immediately and was surprised to see her wake up.
"Miss, you finally woke up.
Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Jiang Youning felt it and said, "My whole body hurts."
Chuntao said, "Miss, you're injured all over. It must hurt. Doctor Wen said that it will be fine in a few days. Miss, just bear with it for a while."
Jiang Youning knew that it would be fine in a few days, but she would have to feel pain for a few days.
Chuntao added, "Miss, the general took care of you all night last night. He did everything himself. The general treated you very well."
Jiang Youning thought about last night. Although she had a fever and was unconscious, she was aware that the general was talking in her ear.
"Where are the generals?"
Chuntao said, "The general just left a while ago, and I don't know where he went."
"Oh." Jiang Youning stared at the top of the bed for a while, as if she thought of something, and looked at Chuntao again, "I'm hungry."
Chuntao smiled and said, "I was just about to ask the young lady, I'll go and prepare it now."
Jiang Youning was lying on the bed, so her consciousness was back, and the pain in her body could not be ignored. "It really hurts to fall off the horse. When the injury heals, I must learn to ride a horse, otherwise I won't be able to stop the horse and think of jumping off the horse."
At this time, in the palace, in the study.
On the fourth day of the New Year, Xiao Yun was still working overtime.
When Xie Jing came, he was still a little surprised.
"Xie Jing, why are you here?"
Xie Jing stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings to the Emperor. I came to the palace this time to ask the Emperor for some palace cakes."
Xiao Yun was a little surprised to hear this. He smiled and said, "Xie Jing, is it because of your wife this time?"
He was a little surprised when he suddenly came to ask for a carriage last time. He was also surprised for a long time when he came to ask for cakes the second time.
He knew what kind of person Xie Jing was. He would not accept useless things as rewards.
But he took the precious horse without hesitation.
Xie Jing said, "Aning encountered robbers yesterday and has a high fever today, so she wants some cakes."
Xiao Yun's eyes tightened when he heard this, "What's going on? How could the emperor encounter robbers?"
Xie Jing said, "I don't know, but we will catch the robbers soon."
Xiao Yun frowned, "I'll ask someone to prepare the cakes. I'll go with you. I want to see what kind of lunatic dares to commit a crime under the emperor."
Eunuch Li quickly prepared the cakes and followed Xie Jing and Xiao Yun out of the palace.
Jiang Youning ate and drank enough and lay on the bed. Thinking about what happened yesterday, she would sweat coldly.
The robbers were too disgusting and mean.
When she killed the robbers, blood splashed on her face.
Even after wiping it clean, I can still feel the warmth and smell of blood on my cheeks.
At that time, I was so scared that I didn't care about the fact that I killed someone. I am still scared now.
When Chuntao saw the emperor and the generals coming in, she knelt down and saluted, "Long live the emperor."
