Rebirth: So what if my husband is a little crazy? He loves me.

Chapter 265 Wan'er's Troubles

She has eaten her fill and needs a good night's sleep to recover.

"This servant understands."

“However, if it concerns your husband, you should still call me,” Shen Li added.

Lian Qiao chuckled as she helped her lower the curtain: "Miss is really paying more and more attention to the master. Everyone in the manor is happy to see that."

"We can't let them be happy for nothing. Remind me to go back and give them a reward."

"Yes."

Shen Li was too tired and slept very soundly all night, not waking up until the sun was high in the sky.

Perhaps because her inner conflict had been resolved, she felt refreshed when she woke up, and another strong feeling was hunger.

The doctor came to take the pulse, and after feeling it, his old eyes widened. The man had been brought in last night and was showing signs of organ failure, but after a day and a night, his weakness had basically disappeared.

With just the simplest treatment, and given her self-healing abilities, she could recover even without any treatment.

"In all my decades of medical practice, I have never seen a body like yours. It is truly a blessing from the gods."

The doctor had said many flattering things throughout his life, and this was the most exaggerated statement he had ever made, but it was his true feeling.

Shen Li was very pleased to hear this, and immediately sent someone to inform Gu Chang'an, while she herself enjoyed a hearty meal in her room.

"Miss, General Lin has come to pay his respects." Lian Qiao returned after delivering the message and encountered Lin Wan'er.

Shen Li was eating when she heard this and waved her hand: "Then why bother announcing them? Just invite them in."

Lin Wan'er was still wearing a silver armor and a white cloak, her hair was tied up high, and her face was without any extra makeup. Her skin was so fair that she didn't look like a general, but her heroic spirit made people feel that this was how a female general should be.

Shen Li did not get up to accept it, but said quite naturally, "General Lin is really handsome."

Lin Wan'er usually had a cold expression, but she was always happy when she saw Shen Li. However, she didn't respond to the teasing at this moment. She just sat on one side of the table and watched her eat.

Shen Li didn't need to see the bruises under her eyes to know that she hadn't been doing well lately. The marriage with the Xiao family was not going smoothly, so she was bound to be unhappy.

She asked Lian Qiao, "Is your young lady feeling any better?"

Lian Qiao answered truthfully, and Lin Wan'er nodded and replied, "That's good."

Seeing that she didn't even glance in her direction, Shen Li waved her hand in front of her, both amused and exasperated, "I'm right here, why don't you ask me?"

"I don't want to disturb your meal, go eat something." Lin Wan'er looked at her with a hint of heartache in her eyes.

She, a pampered young lady, had never suffered such hardship or been injured like this. Let alone Gu Chang'an's current fury, she had already cursed the Crown Prince a hundred times over in her heart.

"So it was because you felt sorry for me." Shen Li felt much more relieved.

Lin Wan'er didn't speak to her, but just watched her eat, and only spoke after she finished eating.

Then she saw the food being cleared away, and then stacks of snacks and fruits being carried into the inner room.

"Let's go, let's eat and talk." Shen Li invited her to the inner room. When Lin Wan'er saw the small table on the couch filled with food, she realized that she could express her shock in words.

"Are you still eating?"

Shen Li had just sat down to get some snacks when she was taken aback by these words, and then retorted in a defiant manner: "It's edible, there's nothing I can do about it."

You should know that in her previous life, she always ate sparingly in order to maintain the image of a well-bred lady; otherwise, she wouldn't have starved herself to the point of having no strength.

Lin Wan'er thought about Shen Li's strength and slowly nodded: "I can understand."

"Eat something, and tell me how things are going?" Shen Li asked, "What did your aunt say?"

“My mother is ill.” Lin Wan’er sighed. “She promised me the day before yesterday that she would do as she wished, but since she is still ill, the matter has to be put on hold.”

"That's all we can do then. After you return to Beijing, spend more time with your aunt. She'll come to her senses eventually," Shen Li could only reassure her.

Although she had some schemes, there was nothing she could do about it.

We can only wait.

"Fortunately, no one else will propose marriage at this time, so I've dodged a bullet," Lin Wan'er comforted herself.

Shen Li nodded slightly: "The two major powers in the court are too busy to attend to other matters."

"Now that the Crown Prince has made such a big fuss, ordering local officials to kill high-ranking court officials, your husband probably won't miss the opportunity to make a scene."

“It’s not in his nature to not make this into irrefutable evidence of treason.” Shen Li said this with a sudden sense of relief: “If things develop as we predicted, our revenge will be achieved soon.”

"Yes," Lin Wan'er couldn't help but sigh.

Everything changed, and she waited for the day when Crown Prince Li Heng would have nothing left.

"However, I had a question I wanted to ask you in person yesterday: Did you really separate my husband and me just so that we could focus on our recovery?" Shen Li asked, blinking her eyes.

"Ahem." Lin Wan'er coughed softly. Facing Shen Li's innocent yet provocative gaze, her voice weakened: "You know it, there's no need to say it out loud."

Shen Li looked at her ears, which had turned pink, and laughed heartily, "Indeed, jealousy makes people change color."

Because both Gu Chang'an and Shen Li were injured, the emperor did not rush to order them to return to the capital. Instead, he sent Prince Rui with the Imperial Guards to investigate the assassination attempt. Also arriving at the same time was the Flying Fish Guard, led by the deputy commander of the Flying Fish Guards.

Shen Li did not see anyone else, only an imperial physician. She had been resting for several days and felt fine, but she still asked the imperial physician to take her pulse.

"Your Majesty is physically fine, but you seem to have some mental distress, likely caused by shock and overexertion. We should prescribe some medicine to help you recover," the imperial physician said.

"I see, thank you very much, Physician Zhao." Shen Li thought she was almost fully recovered, but she didn't expect she still needed medicine.

"Medicine is only one aspect; the most important thing is for adults to recuperate and reduce their worries in order to recover."

"Thank you for your instructions, Imperial Physician. I'll see you out." Shen Li saw the person out and then had Lian Qiao slip him some money for tea.

Physician Zhao squeezed the thick stack of silver notes, feeling both pleased and impressed, and couldn't help but sigh that the Shen family's reputation for wealth and power was well-deserved.

Compared to this place, the neighboring courtyard was much more lively. Shen Li was glad that she didn't have to get involved in politics, but she was also worried about Gu Chang'an's health. Although when she went to see him this morning, he only had external injuries that hadn't healed, it wasn't good for him to always be so overworked.

Thinking this, she went over to have dinner with Gu Chang'an after everyone left.

Although Gu Chang'an's injuries had not yet fully healed, his complexion had returned to normal. The documents and files in front of him were piled up like a small mountain. He looked up from among them, smiled at Shen Li, and extended his hand at the same time.

Shen Li pulled him by the hand and sat him on the couch on his side, looking at him: "My husband is in a very good mood."

“They failed to kill us, now it’s my turn.” Gu Chang’an gripped her hand tightly, his eyebrows raised with triumph: “Ah Li, you just wait and see.”
