Chapter 003: Being flirted with?
It turns out that the little fool was not a little fool, but Emperor Jingyong who almost became the greatest emperor of all time in the book.
She remembered that the book mentioned that Emperor Jingyong was ruthless and ruthless. On the one hand, he defeated the Japanese pirates who were rampant in the sea and made them dare not show their heads for several years. On the other hand, he pressed the heads of the eager Tatar cavalry and plowed them several times. It can be said that he was invincible in the world.
My king is mighty!
However, due to a conspiracy in his early years, Emperor Jingyong was left with a disabled leg and a weakened body. In the end, he died before his ambitions were realized...
Without Emperor Jingyong, the Daxuan Dynasty began to decline. Coupled with the rampant Japanese pirates, the Daxuan Dynasty was depressed for many years.
His injuries and health were probably damaged at this time.
She actually had the opportunity to save the future king, which was a huge attraction for any doctor.
What's more, after Xiao Nanchen ascended the throne, he posthumously conferred the title of King of Loyalty and Bravery on Zhao Mu and treated him as his own brother, which was enough to show that he valued friendship and loyalty.
In this case, if she, as his sister-in-law, rescues and cares for him when he is in trouble, and shares his joys and sorrows... then when my king ascends the throne in the future, she will be able to walk all over the Daxuan Dynasty.
It turns out that this is not a little fool, but a golden thigh, so thick!
Shen Ning was filled with joy, and even felt that the little fool, oh no, even felt that my king was not so stinky anymore.
She quickly cleaned the wound, then gently covered and bandaged it with clean linen. At this time, Xiao Nanchen was already sweating coldly from the pain.
Shen Ning's tone became extremely gentle: "Your Majesty... Anan, stretch out your hand so I can see it."
Xiao Nanchen clutched the chair tightly with both hands in pain, so she pulled his hands over and placed them on her wrists.
When she first learned that she had ALS, Shen Ning tried almost every possible method, from the most advanced Western medicine in the United States to the oldest traditional Chinese medicine in her country. In order to save herself, she gave up her favorite chemistry and turned to medicine, and even earned a doctorate.
She tried her best to learn everything she could, whether it was Chinese or Western medicine. With her talent, she had even become a well-known doctor before she became too ill to see patients. But she still couldn't save herself.
Some people in the industry even lamented that she was too smart and therefore vulnerable... She possessed extraordinary intelligence and talent, but was unable to enjoy the complete life that ordinary people could enjoy.
It was also because of those experiences that she could now easily judge that Xiao Nanchen was indeed poisoned, and the toxin began to invade his brain, which was why he lost his mind and became a fool.
The pain of debridement is self-evident, but even after the ropes were untied, Xiao Nanchen still did not cry out in pain.
My king is truly mighty!
Even though he is unconscious, he is still so strong.
Shen Ning was filled with sighs, and when she looked up, she met Xiao Nanchen's tearful eyes.
Shen Ning: ...
Okay, she took it back.
Shen Ning was helpless and wet the linen cloth to wipe his face: "It's okay, it's okay, sister-in-law will heal your leg, and it will not hurt soon."
"Who is the eldest sister-in-law?"
The little fool has a unique focus.
Shen Ning pointed at herself: "I am your sister-in-law."
The tears in Xiao Nanchen's eyes had not completely faded, but he showed a bit of stubbornness: "You are younger, I am older."
The frivolous Dr. Shen tutted his words: "As expected, every man thinks he is older... But no matter how older he is, he still has to be called sister-in-law."
After that, she coaxed, "Sister-in-law will make delicious food for you every day from now on."
Xiao Nanchen: "Sister-in-law."
It was also at this time that the linen cloth wiped away the dirt, revealing his original appearance.
She has deep eyebrows, a straight nose bridge, and delicate yet sharp features. She should look cold, aloof, and reserved, but the innocence in her eyes breaks away from that captivating look, and she just looks pretty and harmless.
Shen Ning was secretly amazed, my king is so handsome!
After treating the wound, Shen Ning took Xiao Nanchen to the vacant house.
The room was simple. Apart from a brick bed and a table and chairs, there was not even a wardrobe. There was only a dusty and tattered mat on the kang.
How can I sleep well with this?
Shen Ning silently chanted "holding thighs" while resignedly starting to clean up...
She swept the dust off the kang and wiped the torn mat clean. She brought some dry straw to smooth the floor to prevent moisture, and then took out the remaining set of bedding from her original room. Finally, she made the room look a bit more presentable.
"Anan, you will sleep here tonight."
Chen Ning brought another basin of hot water and a towel, and gestured to him, "Wipe it off before going to bed, wash your body... wash your feet, okay?"
Fortunately, even though my king is stupid, he is a smart fool, and he nodded seriously and obediently.
Only then did Shen Ning go out with peace of mind.
But she didn't go to sleep. After she walked out of the yard, she went to the two willow trees not far ahead. After a while, she brought back a lot of willow bark.
Xiao Nanchen is running a fever. The wound has just been cleaned, and I'm afraid the fever will get worse at night.
Sure enough, when Shen Ning finished cooking the soup with willow bark, she heard some noises coming from Xiao Nanchen's room.
Xiao Nanchen had a nightmare.
The wound on his leg was excruciatingly painful, and the high fever made it impossible for him to wake up no matter how hard he struggled. Sometimes he dreamed of his mother's punishment for him when he was injured while practicing martial arts as a child, forbidding him to cry out in pain, and sometimes he dreamed of himself on a battlefield.
In the dream, the fields were desolate, filled with corpses and blood. He stood there alone, and the ground around him was pierced by dense, bony claws, trying to drag him down...
He struggled hard, but his body weighed more than a thousand pounds. He could only watch himself being dragged underground and falling into hell. He was unable to reach out to grab anything, and then he saw his mother again.
His biological mother threw herself on the edge of the cliff, tightly grasping her brother, and watched him fall into the abyss...
Xiao Nanchen had a high fever and kept talking nonsense.
Shen Ning couldn't hear his ambiguous tone, and without caring about anything else, she stripped off his clothes and wiped him with warm water.
Mainly the neck, armpits and back.
But his current body temperature couldn't be cooled down physically, so Shen Ning brought him some freshly boiled willow bark water and fed it to him.
But at this time, Xiao Nanchen's teeth were clenched and shaking due to the fever, and he couldn't drink the willow bark water in the bowl no matter what.
Seeing that he was twitching with fever, Shen Ning had no choice but to tilt her head back and take a big sip, then pinched his nose and lowered her head to pass him over.
Just like giving artificial respiration to save a person, Shen Ning was focused and just fed him a large bowl of hot soup one mouthful after another.
Fortunately, although this method is a bit disgusting, it is still effective. The whole bowl of willow bark water was basically fed into it.
Shen Ning breathed a sigh of relief and straightened up, but at this moment, the unconscious person grabbed her arm.
She was pulled down unexpectedly, and she subconsciously supported herself with her other hand, but she didn't expect it to fall in an awkward place.
Under the palm of his hand were the abdominal muscles hidden in the waistband of his pants... Shen Ning withdrew his hand.
I'm going to get a needle on my hand...
However, he has been injured for so long, and even in his current condition, he can still feel his abdominal muscles, which shows how strong his physical foundation was in the past.
I am a mighty king, but I cannot cause trouble in the medical field!
Shen Ning raised her hand and pressed it on a certain spot on his waist. Xiao Nanchen finally let go of her hand that was tightly holding her.
That's good.
It was also at this time that Xiao Nanchen reluctantly opened his eyes, but his eyes were somewhat unfocused.
Just at that moment, he was barely awake for a moment because he felt a strange touch.
But his clarity of mind was only for a moment, and he soon fell into a coma again due to the high fever.
He still felt as if he was in hell, sometimes burning in flames, sometimes freezing cold, but he could feel someone beside him.
It was an extremely gentle voice.
"It's okay, go to sleep, I'll watch over you here..."
Perhaps it was because he was extremely exhausted from the pain, or perhaps it was because this voice inexplicably carried a magical power that made him feel at ease, Xiao Nanchen finally broke free from the swamp-like nightmare and fell into a deep sleep.
He was still in and out of sleep, but every time he regained consciousness he could hear that voice. Warm and slightly bitter soup was fed into his mouth. He swallowed subconsciously, and the bitter soup entered his stomach, pulling him out of hell bit by bit.
As dawn approached, Xiao Nanchen's fever finally subsided.
Shen Ning also didn't sleep much all night and had to check his temperature from time to time.
Seeing that the man's fever had finally subsided, Shen Ning sighed in her heart, this physical fitness is really not to be underestimated. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have spent half his life last night.
My king is mighty!
When Xiao Nanchen opened his eyes, it was already noon. There was a lot of noise outside and people were coming and going. He realized that the villagers were preparing for Zhao Mu's funeral.
He subconsciously wanted to sit up, but as soon as he moved, he suddenly realized something. He looked down and saw that only half of his trouser leg was left... and his shirt was torn apart.
His Royal Highness Prince Ding was stunned for a moment, but then he was somewhat surprised to find that the injured leg that had been festering, swollen and purple yesterday was no longer as horrible as it used to be.
The glowing purple swelling subsided slightly, and the cramping pain also eased a lot.
Last night…wait?
The chaotic memories of his unconsciousness suddenly flooded back, and Xiao Nanchen suddenly remembered the softness of his lips when he was half-conscious. At that time, his clothes were unbuttoned, and there was a hand under his chest and abdomen...
In an instant, Xiao Nanchen's face turned ashen!
What did that woman do last night?
I thought she was shameless for being unfaithful and courting other men, but I never expected her to do such a shameless and indecent act towards her own uncle...
How can there be such a dissolute and shameless person in the world?
Xiao Nanchen was filled with ferocity and murderous intent.
He must get rid of this shameless village woman for Zhao Mu, so that she won't humiliate Zhao Mu's reputation in the future!
Chen Ning didn't know that Xiao Nanchen's confused memory made him only remember that he was molested, and he completely forgot that it was Chen Ning who tried to feed him willow bark water to reduce fever and inflammation, and that he was the one who pulled her back.
She is busy outside.
Villagers rarely fail to help at funerals, and they all come to help proactively.
When they entered the courtyard and saw Shen Ning, many people showed surprised expressions.
Chen Ning seemed to be a little different.
Originally, Chen Ning liked brightly colored clothes, but she had little money, so even if she gritted her teeth, she could only afford the cheapest materials.
Those materials were the remnants of failed dyeing, but they were still ridiculously expensive for farmers. Only Chen Ning would buy them in the whole village.
However, firstly, the material was not dyed well, and secondly, her aesthetic sense was limited. The dresses she made were bright but not good-looking. Add to that the exaggerated hair ornaments, and she looked like a rooster in the poor and simple village.
But when they arrived at Zhao Mu's house today, everyone discovered that Shen Ning had changed.
She was wearing a coarse cloth dress similar to that of the women in the village, and her hair was tied into a bun and fixed with a wooden hairpin. It was much more pleasing to the eye than her previous exaggerated and ridiculous outfit.
To be precise, it looks much better.
But no matter what, no one had the nerve to stare at the newly deceased widow. As soon as people arrived, they started to get busy. After all, Zhao Mu's funeral was simple, lasting only one day, and the burial was at noon, so time was quite tight.
The aunties who helped Shen Ning down from the coffin yesterday were preparing food in the kitchen. After thanking the people who set up the mourning hall, Shen Ning walked towards the kitchen, ready to greet the aunties who helped.
Just then, she saw a burly woman walk out of the kitchen, stuffing an oil-paper bag into her arms, and walked out of the yard without looking back.
She found out in her original body's memory that this person was her aunt Dong Chunhua, and her original body's uncle married into Qingyuan Village, which happened to be the same village as her original body.
Aunt Dong Chunhua has always been cunning, greedy and likes to take advantage of others.
Thinking of the traces of oil paper seeping out just now and smelling the aroma of fried radish meatballs coming from the kitchen, Shen Ning was speechless.
When I walked to the kitchen door, I heard someone inside whispering contemptuously.
"Dong Chunhua is so shameless! She didn't feel sorry for her niece and actually packed such a big bag of meatballs back home."
"She just took it home to feed that bastard to her. Tsk, how shameless."
When someone saw Chen Ning, they immediately fell silent. Chen Ning walked in as if nothing had happened, smiled and greeted and thanked...
To be honest, this funeral was indeed very tight on funds.
When the sky was bright before, Shen Ning counted the assets of the original body.
In fact, she was quite rich. After all, Zhao Mu used to be a carpenter. He was skilled, hardworking and frugal, and he had saved up some money.
Just two days after he bought Chen Ning home, he had to join the army. Before leaving, he gave all his fortune to his newly bought bride, even though they had not yet had a wedding and were not actually husband and wife.
Zhao Mu left behind a full thirty taels of silver, but after more than two years, only five taels were left. Shen Ning saw in her original body's memory that most of the more than twenty taels of silver were actually spent on the Pei family mother and son.
Pei Yuanzhou devoted himself to studying, but his mother was in poor health and could not do much work.
It turned out that Chen Ning not only took care of all the housework for the Pei family so that Pei's mother could rest in peace, but also "lent" the Pei family a lot of money during special times such as when Pei's mother was sick or when they needed to stock up on coal and firewood in the cold winter.
Of course, the only things I have never seen borrowed are those that have never been returned.
Shen Ning didn't even bother to clean up and renovate her own house, and she tidied up the three rooms of the Pei family neatly. As a result, after people set their eyes on Li Yushi, who wanted to be an official, they didn't even let her in.
Tsk... what a stupid fool he was. No wonder he ended up like that. Even his body was sold for a ghost marriage.
Fortunately, there are still five taels of silver left, plus the seven taels of silver looted from my king, twelve taels in total, which is enough to hold Zhao Mu's funeral.
At this moment, there was a sudden exaggerated cry of mourning outside the courtyard gate.
"Oh... my poor girl, your husband died at such a young age... How pitiful..."
Almost instantly, Shen Ning found the source of the voice from her original body's memory: Shen Danian, the gambling father who sold her original body to Zhao Mu.
