"Xiao Ru, what time is it now?" She sat up from the bed suddenly, but she stood up too hard, and there was another wave of dizziness in front of her eyes, and her body swayed.
Xiao Ru hurriedly supported her, took a soft pillow and placed it behind her, letting her sit on it. He also took a hot towel and wiped her face while chattering.
"It's three o'clock in the morning. Miss, please don't move around. The doctor has examined your illness and said that you are deficient in energy and blood and need to stay in bed to recuperate. Miss, how come you have become so thin after not seeing each other for a few days? Like this? Last night, Qian Duoduo... Oh, no, it was the Emperor. When the Emperor sent you back, there was no color on your face. The slave was almost frightened to death. Fortunately, the Emperor said that you just fainted, and he still I asked the imperial doctor to take your pulse. By the way, the imperial doctor said that if you wake up, you should drink medicine immediately. I will go get the medicine for you right now!"
Xiao Ru threw away the towel and ran out in a hurry. Shen Ning wanted to stop her but didn't have time to ask her more questions.
Three quarters of a hour
She remembered that Namtso said that today was the day of the competition between Dong Qin and Xi Chu. The time was set at noon and the location was at the East Campus. She still had time to rush there.
Soon Xiao Ru came back, holding a bowl of steaming concoction, carefully blowing it to cool it down, and then brought it to Shen Ning's lips.
"Miss, please drink the medicine quickly. This is the emperor's order. He said that if you dare not to drink the medicine, he will... he will..." Xiao Ru tilted her head and said as if she had remembered something: "He said he I will feed you with my own mouth!”
After saying that, she couldn't help but mutter: "This servant doesn't understand what the emperor means, but the emperor said that you will definitely understand, young lady."
Shen Ning's face turned slightly red, of course she knew what Mo Chuan meant.
"I'll drink it!" She took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Passing the medicine bowl to Xiaoru, she closed her eyes and took a rest, then said, "Xiaoru, go get me a hunting suit. I want to go out."
She lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed.
"Miss, the emperor and the imperial doctor have said that you are not allowed to get out of bed or move around now. You must lie still and you are not allowed to go anywhere."
Xiaoru was startled and quickly supported her.
"I have something very important to do today."
"No matter how important things are, they are not as important as your body, Miss." Xiaoru pouted.
Shen Ning's face darkened: "Xiao Ru, when did you become indifferent to superiority and inferiority? Don't you even listen to my words?"
As soon as she assumed her master's posture, Xiao Ru obediently went to get a hunting suit and placed it in front of the bed, no matter how reluctant she was.
She got out of bed, her body swaying, Xiao Ru quickly supported her and complained: "Miss, the imperial doctor said you can't get out of bed, you..."
"Xiao Ru, help me get dressed." Shen Ning interrupted her and frowned slightly.
She was very dissatisfied with herself now. How could she be able to ride a horse if she was so weak? If she had known this, she really shouldn't have cut so much blood to save Namtso.
With Xiaoru's help, she finally dressed up and sat in front of the dressing table. She saw that her face in the mirror was pale and without any blood. She didn't like this sickly self, so she picked up the mirror that she had never used before. Apply a little rouge lightly on the cheeks to make them look more charming.
Xiao Ru blurted out: "Miss, you look so beautiful like this!"
"Really?" She turned around and smiled softly.
