Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

"Can you take care of me?"

A faint sound came from the bedchamber, so faint that it could be easily missed if one did not listen carefully.

Su Zhelan lay there, her voice hoarse from her injuries.

Ye Li was suddenly struck by his humble and submissive manner, and thought to herself:

So weak...

Isn't being an emperor all about facing swords and spears?

But Ye Li immediately thought that since it was a direct hit to the heart, it would probably be a very serious injury in this era.

She immediately felt sympathy; although modern technology is advanced, a heart injury is still very painful.

Ye Li said:

"Although my medical skills are not the best, my master has already treated you. You just need to rest and recover."

Seeing that she nodded, Su Zhelan offered some comforting words.

She seemed both unfamiliar and beautiful.

Perhaps, this is the real her.

In the past, because of her identity, she was unwilling to have much contact with herself.

Otherwise, why would Mu Nianchen, who still harbors kindness towards penniless beggars, never give him a kind look?

Su Zhelan looked at her and said weakly:

"My chest hurts a lot..."

Ye Li could only offer words of comfort:

"I've already discussed the anesthetic with my master. Once it's successfully developed in a few days, it will be able to alleviate your pain."

"Just bear with it for a moment..."

Ye Li knew, of course, that it would hurt a lot without anesthesia, but she couldn't make one in a short time.

Anyway, just comfort Su Zhelan and let him bear it.

"Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown."

Su Zhelan said:

"I'm in so much pain I can't sleep, can you talk to me?"

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

Su Zhelan hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"What do you and Mo Chen usually talk about?"

Upon hearing Su Zhelan mention Mo Chen, Ye Li was no longer sleepy and immediately became full of energy.

She thought for a moment and said:

"Most of the time it's storytelling, or playing games together."

“Then… tell me a story…” Su Zhelan said somewhat shyly, looking away with an unnatural expression.

"Well, that's fine..."

Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "Then let's talk about the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood."

She sat in the chair and told him the story of Little Red Riding Hood entering the forest and being targeted by the Big Bad Wolf.

The Big Bad Wolf, disguised as an old woman, wants to eat Little Red Riding Hood...

The stories Su Zhelan had heard since childhood were either military treatises or anecdotes about emperors; she had never heard of fairy tales.

He was truly extremely curious and kept asking questions:

Why can the big bad wolf talk?

Can Little Red Riding Hood hear other animals talking?

After Ye Li answered, he asked again:

Why did he eat Little Red Riding Hood? Couldn't he just eat meat? Why didn't he go hunting?

Ye Li looked at him, just like Mo Chen had back then, with a million questions...

It felt strangely familiar.

Fortunately, her experience in taking care of Mo Chen has made her very experienced, so Ye Li was not impatient and answered all her questions patiently.

In the end, after listening to the story, Su Zhelan felt that it was very interesting, yet it also seemed to have a mysterious deeper meaning.

he asked:

"What happened to Little Red Riding Hood in the end?"

"They're definitely safe now, right?"

Where did Little Red Riding Hood go?

"When I heard it, that was the ending of the story. I don't know where she went after that..."

As Ye Li was talking, she yawned...

She was sleepy and murmured, "It's late now, you should rest. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Su Zhelan, however, was in great pain due to his injury, and he feigned weakness as he said:

"It hurts, I can't sleep. I was just assassinated today. Stay here with me."

Ye Li became curious upon hearing his words:

"You, an emperor, are you afraid of assassination? Go find your concubines to keep you company."

Seeing that she had no reservations, Su Zhelan smiled wryly and said:

"Every country knows that Prince Su Zhelan of Beichen is unmarried. How could you possibly think I have a concubine?"

It is common knowledge that every year someone wants to marry into the Northern Star Prince's family.

As a young emperor, Su Zhelan was not only unmarried, but also handsome and dashing.

Rumor has it that he was also a man of great literary talent, and the young ladies of various prominent families were all secretly in love with him.

Before their fathers could even vie to send their daughters into the palace, these women themselves, given the chance, would flock to Su Zhelan's side one after another...

Ye Li was a transmigrator; the original owner of this body wasn't this gossipy, so she genuinely didn't know. She blinked at that moment:

"Oh, is that so?"

She immediately found it amusing and said mysteriously:

"I'll tell you a ghost story. Are you scared to sleep alone?"

"If you're scared, you can sleep with half of your body occupied, then it'll be someone else who's scared..."

Su Zhelan: "..."

……

Seeing him staring blankly, Ye Li couldn't help but burst into laughter, apologizing as she laughed:

"Okay, okay, just kidding..."

Su Zhelan didn't react at first, but when he understood, he gave a wry smile:

"Now that I'm injured, instead of learning to take care of me gently and earn the reputation of being my savior, you can still be so heartless as to make fun of me?"

Ye Li pretended to cough a few times, then said embarrassedly:

"I don't want to enter your palace, so I don't need to please you. Since you're not going to sleep, let me tell you another joke."

One day, a man went to see a doctor to treat a minor illness.

The doctor said: "Come on, Tianlin, don't be afraid."

The patient said: "My name is not Tian Lin."

The doctor said: My name is Tian Lin.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhelan laughed: "Is this doctor nervous?"

Ye Li: "Yes, it must have been my first time practicing medicine, so I was trying to cheer myself up, and the patient overheard me."

Su Zhelan: "And what about you? When you're treating patients and saving lives, are you nervous or scared?"

Ye Li: "I get nervous too, but my master is there. If I can't cure it, I'll ask my master for help."

They can also take the blame.

Seeing that she was relaxed and chatting happily, Su Zhelan felt quite pleased herself.

Low laughter could be heard from time to time inside the palace...

Later, Ye Li couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep on my hand, muttering:

"I'll take a nap and then I'll take your pulse later."

She rarely stays up late, but recently she's been unable to sleep at night taking care of patients, which has really exhausted her.

He didn't wake up in the middle of the night and slept straight until dawn.

Su Zhelan wasn't asleep; he was looking at her, lost in thought.

Gu Qing entered and said softly:

"Your Majesty, the investigation is complete. The assassin was sent by... that noble person..."

Su Zhelan's eyes darkened, and she said nonchalantly:

"I understand, this is a lesson to teach him a lesson, and also..."

"Cover her with a blanket."

Gu Qing saw Ye Li lying on the foot of the bed, asleep with her head resting on her arm. Her master wanted her to stay, but couldn't bear to see her suffer, so he had to take care of everything. Even in the emperor's bedroom, which was already warm as spring with the addition of charcoal, he was afraid that she would catch a cold.

Gu Qing accepted the order and had a maid quietly enter to give Ye Li a luxurious fox fur cloak.

After the most magnificent fox fur was laid on her, it inevitably spread out on the ground because Ye Li was lying there so petitely, like the tail feathers of a phoenix, spreading out magnificently, which was breathtaking.

-

Ye Li fell asleep, but she had a strange dream.

She dreamed that a plague broke out in the Kingdom of Tian Shu, and that she could cure the plague.

But Mo Chen was missing, and she searched for him amidst the chaos.

But in the end, it was discovered that Mo Chen actually wanted to sacrifice himself for his cause...

Mo Chen was buried in the snow. He looked at Ye Li and said gently with a smile, "I'm sorry, and also, I..."

Snowflakes flew everywhere, and the wind howled...

Ye Li couldn't hear Mo Chen's voice, but she saw him enveloped by the blizzard...
