Day two.

Shen Nanxing got up very early and ate breakfast absentmindedly, thinking about what excuse he could use to get his grandfather to stay in the capital.

This battle is dangerous, and my grandfather already has an old illness. How can we let him take risks again?

She frowned as she thought, and casually stirred the porridge in the bowl in front of her with a spoon.

At this moment, Nuan An hurried in, looking anxious: "Master, Lord Shen is ill!"

"what?"

Shen Nanxing's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up abruptly, causing the dishes and chopsticks on the table to fall to the ground with a crisp sound.

Her face was pale, and she was supported by Nuan'an and Nuan Ning, stumbling towards the yard where her grandfather lived.

The little old man lay quietly on the bed, his eyes closed, his face pale and bluish-gray, not at all as healthy as he was yesterday.

At this time, the court doctor was frowning and taking his pulse.

Shen Nanxing's tears fell immediately.

She took a few steps over and sat on the round stool beside the bed, holding the hand of Old Marquis Shen. She couldn't stop sobbing as soon as she opened her mouth: "Grandfather..."

"Grandfather, wake up. I'm Nanxing. Look at me..."

Her tears fell heavily: "What on earth is going on? Everything was fine last night..."

After the court doctor finished taking her pulse and withdrew his hand, she looked at him again: "Doctor, how is my grandfather? He was fine before he went to bed last night. How come he is like this after waking up overnight?"

The court physician stroked his long beard and said thoughtfully, "Don't worry, Princess. The old marquis has caught a cold. I'll prescribe some medicine. As long as you take it on time every day, you will be fully recovered in just over a month."

"Really?" Shen Nanxing was a little unconvinced.

The court physician smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are too concerned. My ancestors were imperial physicians, and I have been treating the old Marquis in the Marquisate for over ten years. I will definitely not make a mistake with such a minor illness. Your Highness, please rest assured."

"But if he just caught a cold, why does my grandfather look so bad?" Shen Nanxing was still worried.

"Old Marquis Shen suffered many injuries in battle during his early years, which ultimately damaged his foundation. Furthermore, he is now older, so this cold is naturally more serious than what an ordinary person would think."

"Thank you, doctor."

After the court doctor left, Shen Nanxing ordered someone to get medicine, but he still felt uneasy.

If it was really just a cold, why is it such a coincidence?

And at this time in the previous life...

Shen Nanxing's expression froze as he recalled.

At this time in her previous life, her heart and eyes were filled with that scumbag Xie Tingyu. She was so absorbed in him that she didn't even care whether her grandfather was sick...

Am I overthinking it, and is my grandfather really just catching a cold?

Nuan Ning saw her doubts and said, "Master, how about letting me show it to the old marquis?"

Shen Nanxing was stunned: "You also know medicine?"

Nuan Ning explained with a smile, "During my training, because I had a natural talent for identifying medicinal herbs, my master specially found someone to teach me medical skills. Although I'm nowhere near as good as the old genius doctor in Nether Valley, I'm still not bad compared to the average doctor."

Shen Nanxing knew that Nuan Ning was always humble. She said that she was no worse than the average doctor, but in fact she was probably much better than the average doctor.

"Then you can show it to my grandfather."

Nuan Ning walked forward to feel the old marquis's pulse, but her expression became serious as she did so.

Shen Nanxing also became nervous: "How is it?"

Nuan Ning looked around, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Shen Nanxing realized something and told Nuan'an to stay and take care of his grandfather, then he left with Nuan Ning. The master and servant walked all the way to a pavilion on the lake, making sure there was no one around before stopping.

Nuan Ning bowed and reported, "Master, Lord Shen didn't just catch a cold. He was drugged. This drug will make the pulse look like he has caught a cold."

"What harm does it do to the body?"

"not at all."
