After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 11 'Patient'

The emperor waved his hand to let them leave, then turned and went to the harem. Instead of spending this much time, he might as well go and sit with the concubines.

Here, several people left the imperial study. The Minister of Revenue had a pale face and looked at his former father-in-law and brother-in-law. He was about to speak, but the Grand Tutor snorted coldly and left first.

The Minister of Personnel Jiang Hongyi looked at him and said:

"Lord Yu, you should go back as soon as possible to prepare my little sister's dowry. Tomorrow, Princess Chen will return home, so you must prepare everything. If you don't remember what is included, I have a list that I can give you to check!"

After saying this, he left without looking back.

The Minister of Revenue stood there and watched their backs as they left, feeling extremely angry!

These people still don't take him seriously, and there's Yu Tingwan, who is still going against the mansion even after getting married!

On this side, Yu Tingwan had just come out of the space and was about to rest for a while when he heard a low voice coming from outside.

Yu Tingwan sat up from the bed, "What happened to Lan Yue?"

The person who came in was not Lan Yue, but Qing Zhu.

"Replying to the princess, Lan Yue just went to the kitchen. The guards outside are sent by Steward Chen. They said that the palace's rewards and the imperial physician have arrived at the mansion, and asked you to prepare them."

When Yu Tingwan heard this, she was a little confused. She knew that the imperial physician was coming, but what about the reward?

But now is not the time to think about these things. Yu Tingwan responded and lay back on the bed.

After a while, footsteps were heard outside again. In addition to the footsteps, there was also the sound of wheels turning. I was afraid that Shen Chenli had followed.

Yu Tingwan quickly closed her eyes and waited for them to come in.

The door was pushed open, and the sound of wheels turning and footsteps stopped beside the bed. Yu Tingwan felt the bed curtain being lifted, and then a pleasant but weak voice was heard.

"Princess, ahem, ho!"

Shen Chenli didn't expect to see such a face when he lifted the bed curtain. He was so scared that he almost couldn't pretend!

Yu Tingwan was lying quietly on the bed, without any movement, but it was her expression that scared Shen Chenli.

He was pale with a bluish tint, his cheeks were sunken, and even his lips had turned purple.

If Shen Chenli had watched a famous modern zombie movie, he would definitely blurt out:

"This guy is going to turn into a zombie!"

Shen Chenli, who suddenly saw this scene, could only try his best to hold back his laughter, but this also made him cough even more violently.

"Ahem... I have brought the imperial physician to treat you."

After finishing his lines to Yu Tingwan, Shen Chenli coughed a few times before facing the imperial physician and said, "Doctor Zhou, cough, cough, can you see how my princess is doing?"

After saying that, he asked someone to push him aside and gave up his seat.

Doctor Zhou looked at Shen Chenli, who was coughing so hard and looked even weaker than when he came to treat him last night, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the prince.

What a high-spirited young general he was at the beginning, but what happened next... Alas!

Putting his thoughts aside, Doctor Zhou walked to the bedside, sat down on the stool, and reached out to take out the pulse pillow.

Seeing this, Qingzhu gently placed Yu Tingwan's hand on the pulse pillow, then put a handkerchief on Yu Tingwan's wrist, then bowed and returned to his original position.

Doctor Zhou placed his hand on Yu Tingwan's handkerchief, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at Yu Tingwan.

After seeing Yu Tingwan's expression, his face twitched for a while, and it took him a long time to calm down.

He calmed down and carefully felt Yu Tingwan's pulse, then reached out and lifted Yu Tingwan's eyelids. With another burst of boldness, a hint of doubt gradually emerged on his face, and there was complexity in the doubt.

Everyone waited for nearly two quarters of an hour before seeing Doctor Zhou put away his hand.

"I wonder how the princess is doing?"

When Shen Chenli saw him withdraw his hand, he immediately asked, which caused Doctor Zhou to look at him frequently.

He was still muttering in his heart: "This Princess Chen is like this, and she can actually make the Prince Chen, who has never been close to women, so nervous. It seems that she is also a man of means!"

But Doctor Zhou was also a shrewd man. He did not show it on his face. Instead, he bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, from the pulse, I feel that the princess' pulse is slow, astringent and stringy, and the pulse is deep and thin. It seems that she has always been in a state of deficiency. In addition, the previous fall into the water made her body even weaker. Now she is also angry and weak, which has caused liver depression and qi stagnation, and the circulation of qi and blood is hindered. That's why she suddenly fainted."

"I will prescribe some prescriptions to soothe the liver qi for you, Princess. Once you have finished taking these medicines, I will prescribe some more to nourish your body."

After Doctor Zhou finished speaking, he stood there waiting for Prince Chen to speak. Shen Chenli looked at Yu Tingwan on the bed for a moment, then asked again:

"Why does the princess look so bad?"

This question made Doctor Zhou stunned. After a conflicted look on his face, he bowed and said, "Perhaps the princess was angry and upset before. She will be fine after recuperation."

Shen Chenli looked up at him, and without asking any further questions, he asked the butler to send him out.

After Doctor Zhou left, Shen Chenli stared at the bed for a long while. Seeing that this person was still addicted to pretending and refused to wake up even after everyone left, he had to call her himself.

"Is the princess awake?"

Hearing Shen Chenli's voice, Yu Tingwan quietly opened his eyes a little, squinted at a glance outside the bed curtain, and seeing that there was no one else, he propped himself up with his hands and sat up on the bed.

"The expression on this person's face just now must be, uh...what's wrong with you?"

Yu Tingwan was just about to tell him that the imperial physician's expression when taking his pulse must be very interesting, but he didn't expect that when he raised his eyes, he saw a man with a sallow complexion, dark circles under his eyes, and an appearance as if all the blood had been sucked out of him!

This person doesn't look like he is seriously ill, but rather like he has gone to a den of demons!

Shen Chenli coughed lightly, "Nothing, they are all fake. But you, did you draw this?"

It's quite realistic.

"No, this is a medicine I developed myself. Not only will your complexion look seriously ill, but your pulse will also change."

Although Shen Chenli did not say much, his physical condition should be due to the medication he took. It was probably the person who had been treating his body before.

Shen Chenli nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He was not surprised by such an answer. After all, she had demonstrated very good medical skills before.

"By the way, the reward from the palace has come down for you. I asked someone to open up your small storehouse."

"What reward? Why should I be rewarded?"

Reward for no reason? She didn't think she had done anything to attract the attention of the people in the palace, except for becoming the Princess of Chen and today's rumors!

Shen Chenli shook his head. "I heard that it was Grand Tutor Jiang and the Minister of Personnel, Lord Jiang, who wrote to His Majesty overnight, severely scolding the Minister of Revenue, and they stayed together in the Imperial Study Room during the morning court today."

"After the three of them came out, the news that Lord Yu was fined three years' salary, confined to reflect on his mistakes for a month, and that the late wife's dowry was returned to you was spread out. Oh, and there was also the emperor's reward to you."

Yu Tingwan sat on the bed and stared at Shen Chenli, digesting what she had just learned. This was too... too much to her liking!

She was still thinking about going to the Shangshu Mansion tomorrow to get back her mother's dowry, which would require some effort. Unexpectedly, someone was one step faster than her and reported it directly to the Emperor, making it impossible for the Shangshu Mansion to cheat!
