Chapter 172 Illness

The words "last wish" made King Jin's expression become more serious.

"In the third year of Chenglong, there was no rain in the spring and summer, the seedlings withered, and there was no harvest in the autumn. There was also a plague of locusts. Many people died of hunger, their wives sold their children, and they were homeless. The suffering was unspeakable."

"My grandfather, my father opened a warehouse to give out porridge and save people, but it was a drop in the bucket and he saved less than one person out of a hundred."

"Looking at the hungry and emaciated victims, my father said, it would be great if there was food that was drought-resistant, not afraid of locusts, and plentiful enough to fill the stomach."

"When my father was alive, he often bought various kinds of seeds to plant. Now I just follow his last wish."

What Jiang Changning said is basically true.

After hearing this, the King of Jin praised with emotion: "My father-in-law is benevolent and righteous and has great love."

"Your Majesty, I think sweet potatoes are the kind of food my father is looking for, but how can we promote them?" Jiang Changning frowned, looking confused.

"Princess Jin, you can instruct King Jin to do things." King Jin said with a smile.

Jiang Changning chuckled, "But Prince Jin is too demanding for benefits, and Princess Jin can't afford them."

"The King of Jin is very generous and allows you to pay on credit."

"Please ask King Jin to arrange for Mr. Zheng to discuss how to grow sweet potatoes." Jiang Changning will tell this matter so that King Jin can promote it.

Although eating too much sweet potatoes may cause heartburn, it is better than being hungry.

The couple chatted for a while, then held hands and went for a walk on the porch.

Half an hour later, the maid came over to report that the hot water was ready.

Jiang Changning went to take a shower first, and after taking off his clothes, he discovered that his arms were covered with bruises.

Xiulan asked in shock: "Princess, how could you be so seriously injured?"

When she was learning to skate, King Jin grabbed her arm hard to prevent her from falling too many times.

Her skin was already as white as snow, but seeing it now was shocking.

"It's okay, these will disappear in a few days." Jiang Changning said without paying too much attention.

Xiulan touched it gently, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Jiang Changning tugged at the corner of his mouth. It was fine if he didn't touch it, but it was still a little sore when he touched it.

"If I had known better, I would have put Xiaoyu Pills in the water." Xiulan said in annoyance.

"No need. Wait for me to take a bath and apply jade skin cream. Okay, you can go out." Jiang Changning didn't want a maid to wait on him while he was bathing.

While Jiang Changning was bathing, King Jin told Chang Youshan, "Ask Su Huang to meet me at the bookstore tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chang Youshan accepted the order and left.

After a while, Jiang Changning came out of the shower, and Xiulan took the jade skin cream and applied it to her.

King Jin was shocked when he saw the bruises on her arms, "How could it be so serious?"

"It's okay, it looks scary, but it actually doesn't hurt." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

King Jin cleaned his hands and took the jade box from Xiulan's hand, "I'll do it."

"My lord, please go take a bath. It's too late. It's late at night and the weather is cold." Jiang Changning advised.

"I'm not afraid of the cold." Prince Jin insisted on applying medicine to her and raised his eyebrows, "Besides, this injury was caused by me and I have to take responsibility."

Every time after having sex, Jiang Changning's waist was covered with his finger marks.

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Changning shouted coquettishly.

The maid is here, what nonsense are you talking about?

Xiulan was helping Jiang Changning pull his sleeves, but now she quickly lowered her head and retreated. She had better not disturb the relationship between the prince and the princess.

"My Ningning, this skin can be broken by blows. It's so delicate that I don't even dare to use force." King Jin made a pun.

Jiang Changning glared at him in shame, "Apply the medicine and don't talk."

"Yes, as ordered." King Jin said seriously.

"Glib tone." Jiang Changning raised his leg and kicked him lightly.

Prince Jin grabbed her feet and said, "Let me see if there are any injuries on this leg."

"Don't make trouble, I'm so tired." Jiang Changning yawned.

King Jin saw the tired look on her face and knew that she would not be able to eat meat today, so he concentrated on applying the medicine on her and said, "Go to bed."

"Go take a bath quickly." Jiang Changning urged.

King Jin went to the bathroom, and Jiang Changning entered the bedroom. As soon as he lay down, he fell asleep.

Prince Jin, who came back from bathing, did not wake her up. He held her in his arms and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, King Jin woke up from the fever and found that Jiang Changning had a high fever, his face turned red from the fever, "Ning Ning, wake up."

King Jin shouted several times, but did not wake Jiang Changning up. He quickly shouted: "Come here, come quickly."

Shu Fei, who was keeping watch at night, heard the sound and rushed over, asking through the screen: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"The princess is sick, please send someone out of the palace immediately to ask for the imperial doctor." King Jin said eagerly.

"Yes." Shu Fei hurried out to call someone, then hurried in to see Jiang Changning.

Knowing that Jiang Changning had a high fever, she came out again, fetched snow water, soaked the handkerchief, twisted it half dry, and covered Jiang Changning's forehead.

"I'll do it." Prince Jin picked up another handkerchief, soaked it in snow water, and wiped Jiang Changning's armpits, arms, palms and soles of his feet.

This method of cooling down had some effect, and Jiang Changning's face didn't look as red as before.

More than half an hour later, Chang Youzhong brought in Dr. Xue.

Doctor Xue saluted and said: "To the prince..."

"Okay, there aren't that many rules. Diagnose the princess's pulse quickly." Prince Jin frowned, and he felt Jiang Changning's temperature rising again.

Doctor Xue hurriedly stepped forward to check her pulse, then looked at her face and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, the wind and cold have entered the body and bound to the surface of the muscles, so she has fever and no sweating. In addition, the Princess is weak and her pulse is heavy."

"There is no need to talk about these medical principles. Prescribe medicine for the princess to take. Don't let the princess' fever continue." King Jin said solemnly.

Jiang Changning felt the wind and cold in his body, probably because he stayed in the ice rink for too long today.

King Jin was very upset. He was a man and was not afraid of the cold, but Jiang Changning was a woman as delicate as a flower and could not bear it.

Doctor Xue prescribed the medicine, and Chang Youzhong took him to the medicine storehouse in the mansion to get some medicine.

It will take time for the medicine to come out. No matter how anxious King Jin is, he can only continue to help Jiang Changning wipe his body with snow water to cool down.

Two quarters of an hour later, the medicine was delivered.

Doctor Xue did not dare to leave, but also came in and said: "Your Majesty, as long as the princess sweats, the fever will be gone early tomorrow morning."

“Mr.

"The lower officials do everything." Doctor Xue did not dare to object.

Fu Cui came in and led Imperial Physician Xue to stay in the side room as soon as he entered.

Xiulan fed the medicine to Jiang Changning. Fortunately, although Jiang Changning was dizzy from the fever, he could still swallow it.

Early the next morning, Jiang Changning's high fever subsided. When she woke up, she felt dizzy and sore all over her body. She thought it was the sequelae of sudden exercise for someone who had not exercised for a long time, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

He rang the bell to call someone, but it was King Jin who came in.

Surprised, he asked: "You today..."

Why is my throat so dry?

"Are you awake?" King Jin walked to the bed and raised his hand to touch her forehead.

"Why didn't you go to the morning meeting today?" Jiang Changning asked the question just now.
