Reborn to marry, the short-lived prince lived a hundred years

When Shen Yunheng picked up Meng Tingyue, he realized that she was very light. He felt that she would fly away if he touched her casually.

Shen Yunheng strode out of the village.

Halfway through the journey, he realized that he had left his carriage in the city and there was only one horse.

Shen Yunheng's eyes swept across Meng Tingyue's blushing cheeks, and a frown appeared at the corners of his brows.

This delicate girl will probably break up immediately.

Thinking of this, he turned around and looked for a clean courtyard.

"Ling Xiao, go get a carriage and a doctor."

He gently placed Meng Tingyue on the bed, and placed his big palm on her forehead, the temperature of which was scorching.

His brows furrowed even more.

"Your Highness, the doctor is here." Ling Xiao entered the room.

The doctor then realized that the murderous man in black in front of him was the son of the current emperor, and he knelt down tremblingly to pay him respect.

The prince interrupted him kneeling and said, "Come and heal her."

"Yes Yes."

The doctor was so frightened by the prince's cold expression and tone that he knelt down and tremblingly went to examine Meng Tingyue.

After a while he withdrew his hand.

"Your Highness, this young lady is already weak. She caught a cold last night and has a high fever. Acupuncture combined with medication will cure her, but we don't have any fever-reducing medicine..."

The prince's eyebrows relaxed a little, "Then give her acupuncture first."

"Yes." The doctor spread out the cloth bag, heated the silver needle with fire, and then inserted it into the acupuncture points on Meng Tingyue's body.

"It hurts... Mom, it hurts so much..." Meng Tingyue murmured unconsciously, crystal tears sliding down from the corners of her eyes, leaving a shallow trace of water.

The doctor was focused and was looking for the acupuncture point with the next silver needle.

The prince frowned, looking at the tear marks sliding down the corners of his eyes, feeling unhappy. Even the look he gave the doctor was extremely cold.

"Be gentle."

Hearing this, the doctor's fingertips trembled slightly, and he wanted to cry but couldn't. "Your Highness, I have been very gentle. This girl is more afraid of pain than ordinary people."

Ling Xiao sighed inwardly when he saw the prince's faint chill and the doctor trembling with fear and unable to stand steadily.

"Your Highness, the doctor is so frightened by you that he might lose control of the needle. Perhaps Miss Meng is more sensitive to pain than the average person."

Hearing this, the prince had a blank expression on his face. "Apart from acupuncture, are there other ways to relieve the pain?"

The doctor was so frightened that his head was in a mess and he couldn't speak for a while.

"You can still wipe your face with cold water, but you still have to take medicine in the end..."

"Go get some cold water."

The guard at the door brought some water.

"Your Highness, I have just ordered someone to rush to the city to buy medicine." Ling Xiao reported.

"Go and wipe her face." The prince raised his eyes and pointed at the porcelain basin filled with water beside the bed.

Ling Xiao's eyes turned and he smiled dryly, "Your Highness should come in person. Miss Meng likes you so much. If she knew that Your Highness was so worried about her and even wiped her face in person, her illness might heal faster."

Hearing this, the prince glanced at Ling Xiao indifferently, and Ling Xiao walked out with a wry smile.

He and the unconscious person on the bed were the only ones left in the room.

He resigned himself to his fate and walked to the bedside, wrung out the cloth, and wiped it on the red and hot cheek bit by bit.

The delicate skin, as if peeled off, looked extremely beautiful as if sprinkled with rouge.

Where the wet cloth passed, the soft flesh swayed slightly and the skin turned red. Shen Yunheng frowned, extremely puzzled.

How come it turned red again when he just wiped it casually?

He sighed in disgust and moved his hands more gently.

The effect of wiping with a wet cloth was apparent. When the medicine was ready, Meng Tingyue could open her eyes and drink the medicine in a daze.

When taking medicine, you can still resist it in every way and refuse to drink it because it tastes bitter.

The prince was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead. He thought she was sick and became extremely pretentious.

If Shen Yunheng hadn't considered that she had saved many soldiers and that she got sick because of him, he would have simply thrown her aside instead of patiently coaxing her.

-

Qinglan and Qingdian stayed in the room. Nanny Qin kept reaching out to check Meng Tingyue's forehead temperature, and the worry between her brows finally dissipated a little.

"The temperature has dropped, the temperature has dropped, thank God, it has finally dropped." Nanny Qin stroked her chest, her eyes filled with tears of excitement.

Qinglan and Qingdian were even more delighted.

Meng Tingyue only felt that she seemed to have slept for a long time, and her dream was chaotic. It seemed that she had a dream, which seemed to be about her childhood in Jiangnan, but she had forgotten it when she woke up.

The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was three pairs of worried eyes.

"Madame Qin, Qinglan, Qingyin."

As soon as I opened my lips, I felt the dryness in my throat.

"Miss, you are finally awake. Oh, your body is not well yet, please lie down for a while." Nanny Qin pressed Meng Tingyue and wanted her to lie back.

Meng Tingyue shook her head and held her hand tightly, "I'll sit for a while."

Only then did Nanny Qin take a soft pillow and place it behind her waist.

"Girl, have some water." Qinglan poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Meng Tingyue's lips.

Meng Tingyue drank water from her hand.

It diluted the strong taste of medicine in my mouth and soothed my dry throat a lot.

"How long have I slept?"

"The girl has been sleeping for half a day. It was the prince who sent her back." Qinglan pouted, looking a little resentful.

"This prince is really something. Not only did he take the girl out for a night, but he also didn't bring her back safely. She has a fever and has mosquito bites all over her body. What if she gets scars?"

Perhaps because there were only four of them in the room, Qinglan spoke bolder and without any scruples.

Before Qingdian could even say anything, Nanny Qin immediately reached out and pinched Qinglan, scolding her, "The young lady treats you well, yet you've forgotten your status. How can you say what the Crown Prince's status is? If anyone hears this and harms the young lady, I'll be the first to rip your mouth off."

Qinglan felt pain and sobbed with her lips pursed. "I'm worried about you too. The prince obviously doesn't care about you. He's been taking you out all night before we're even married. If this gets out, your reputation will be ruined."

"The girl has a delicate body. It's been a long time since she had a high fever. She went out with the Crown Prince once and came back not only sick but also injured. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really cared about the girl, he wouldn't treat her like this."

Qinglan knelt on the ground as she spoke, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

She lowered her voice, each word was sincere and came from the bottom of her heart. Nanny Qin was so angry that she raised her hands, which trembled uncontrollably in mid-air, but she didn't let them fall.

It can be seen that although she was angry at Qinglan for speaking without thinking, she also sincerely agreed with what she said.

Meng Tingyue raised her hand and pulled down Nanny Qin's raised hand. Her eyes were clear and she could not see any feelings towards the prince.

"Okay, stop crying. If someone doesn't know me, they might think something happened to me."

Nanny Qin was instantly dissatisfied. "Pooh, pooh, pooh, this is unlucky. Please don't say it again, young lady."

Meng Tingyue's eyes fell on the clothes that were slipping off her wrists. Her fair arms were covered with many blisters due to mosquito bites. It was the first time she felt so miserable.

She looked away. "These bumps will go away with the medicine. They're nothing serious. As for this illness, it's because I caught a cold last night from the wind."

"I believe in the Crown Prince. He is not such an irresponsible person."

It is better to say that he trusts the emperor and empress rather than the prince. The emperor and empress dote on the prince so much that they will certainly not allow any news that is detrimental to the prince's reputation to spread.

Meng Tingyue was just about to tell Nanny Qin and the others what happened last night when she suddenly heard news from the outer courtyard.

"Meng Tingyue, you unfilial daughter..."
