Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Shen Nankui is sick.

The saying "illness comes like a mountain falling" is exactly what happened to her.

The person who was fine the day before suddenly became so sick that he couldn't even get out of bed. He had a high fever for several days and was sometimes conscious and sometimes confused.

When she was awake, her tears were like beads that had broken off the string, flowing continuously as if they would never dry up. She would not listen to others' advice, and she neither cried out loud nor spoke a word. She just shed tears silently.

When she is confused, she is usually in a dream and she will talk in her sleep.

Sometimes she called me "mother, father", sometimes she said "I have repaid my kindness and I owe you nothing", sometimes she said "the courtyard is deep, locking my youth, even if I have fame, I am lonely and helpless", sometimes she said "your heart has changed, my heart is broken, the promise of growing old together has become a lie", sometimes she said some sentences that Hehua couldn't understand, such as "it's over, why bother to start over again", and "it's ridiculous, ridiculous, it's a series of coincidences", but most of the time, she was missing the child who had not yet been born...

Shen Nankui cried bitterly in his dream.

Hehua couldn't wake her up, so he stayed by her side, wiping away tears and calling out repeatedly: "Girl, girl..."

Zhong Shan was also anxious. He imitated the sounds of cats and dogs, trying to make Shen Nankui smile, but it still didn't work.

The two of them saw Shen Nankui's condition and felt pain in their hearts.

I just hope she gets better soon.

The two of them took care of her carefully, and Doctor Li would come over every day to take her pulse so that he could adjust the prescription at any time.

After a few days, Shen Nankui's condition gradually improved.

The fever went away, I no longer cried during the day, and I no longer had nightmares and nonsense at night.

That day, Shen Nankui took the medicine, which had a sleeping effect. In the past, she always slept for an hour after taking the medicine. Hehua helped her lie down and made the bed as usual.

Shen Nankui suddenly said, "I've been lying down for too long these past few days, and my bones are aching. Hehua, I want to go sit outside."

This was the first time she spoke in a few days.

He Hua almost cried with joy and nodded quickly, "Okay, girl, I'll arrange it right away!"

The weather at the end of April was getting very hot, and there was no shade in the yard, so Hehua and Zhongshan placed the bed under the porch and prepared tea and snacks before calling Shen Nankui out.

Seeing that she was in a rare mood, Zhong Shan tried his best to make her laugh and even started doing somersaults in the yard.

Shen Nankui shook his head and said, "Your injury has just healed, aren't you afraid of the pain from pulling the wound?"

Zhong Shan chuckled, "Don't worry, young lady. It doesn't hurt at all!"

"Really? It doesn't hurt?"

Hehua suddenly reached out and pressed his wound.

Zhong Shan cried out in pain, "Hehua, I'm trying to make the girl happy, what are you doing?"

He Hua said: "Miss, I am worried about your injury. I am here to help you check whether you are well or not. Come, let me check again!"

"How can you expose someone's shortcomings without exposing his own?"

"You were the one who said it didn't hurt!"

The two chased each other in the yard. Shen Nankui smiled and shook his head, "Okay, the sun is shining, don't get tired."

Zhong Shan saw Shen Nankui's smile and said happily: "The girl finally smiled!"

After many days, He Hua saw her smile again and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, muttering, "That's great."

In the afternoon, Doctor Li came over and after taking my pulse, the frown that had been hanging over my face for the past few days finally relaxed.

He couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, "That's great, Miss Shen has made it through, and everything is fine. This careful arrangement is worth it..."

"Is everything okay?" Hehua asked a little confused.

"Oh, it's okay. Anyway, there's nothing serious now." Doctor Li laughed it off.

Then he looked at Shen Nankui, feeling sorry for the misfortune she had suffered these days. After thinking it over again and again, he asked, "Miss Shen, have you ever encountered any major misfortune in the past?"

"Why do you ask this?" Shen Nankui looked puzzled.

Doctor Li smiled and said, "Miss Shen, your condition is very serious this time, but the cause is not just this time. In other words, miscarriage and divorce alone are not enough to make you so seriously ill and almost incurable."

Shen Nankui understood.

Yes, her experiences in two lives, the sorrow and suffering in her previous life, the wishes and worries in this life, all piled up together in this illness, which was indeed unbearable.

She was about to speak, but she saw that Doctor Li seemed to be hesitant to speak, so she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Li, what do you want to say?"

Doctor Li chuckled twice and sighed somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"Alas, when people get old, they always want to worry about other people's business. Miss Shen, I have come to treat you these days. I know a little about you. You are a good child, so you should not dwell on this trivial matter."

"Being too picky?"

"Yes, you already know the cause of this serious illness, so you can't put all the blame on one person."

Shen Nankui understood instantly, "You mean... Gu Yichuan?"

Doctor Li nodded slowly, "Lord Gu is like you, a person of true character. I am nearly sixty years old and have lived for most of my life. I still have some insight into people. No matter how true the rumors are, they may not be what they say. Miss Shen, you used to be Lord Gu's bedmate, why don't you ask yourself first?"

Shen Nankui was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "I want to believe him, but his actions are really confusing, and he refuses to explain to me. Is there something fishy going on?"

"Girl, have you ever climbed a mountain? The top of a mountain is always covered with clouds and mist. When the clouds and mist do not dissipate, it always seems like there are some immortals, demons or monsters hiding there. But when the wind blows away the clouds and the sun shines down, you will find that the mountain is still a mountain and the sky is still a sky."

"The mountains are still mountains, the sky is still sky..."

Shen Nankui repeated this sentence and suddenly asked: "Mr. Li, why do you defend him so much?"

Doctor Li said, "I am not defending you on purpose. I have been practicing medicine for many years and have seen the separation and reunion of people. In this world, men are always unfeeling and women are weak. It is rare to see people like you two who are not afraid of power and care about each other. I really can't bear to see you being blinded by the fog and miss your marriage and regret it for the rest of your life. Just to say one thing, if Lord Gu is really a person who curry favor with the powerful, why did he anger the Holy Face in the first place? Miss Shen should know him better than I do."

Shen Nankui pondered for a moment, "Mr. Li, do you think he has his own reasons?"

Doctor Li shook his head. "Right and wrong are determined by human nature. The reason I say these words today is because I was once in the same situation."

His words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but Shen Nankui was a little confused.

Does the phrase "being in a trap" refer to Princess Yongjia framing her for miscarriage, or something else?
