The water for the nunnery had to be fetched from far away, and all the stored water was used to put out the fire. How could the guards, who had been busy all night, think about fetching water for the nuns? Naturally, no one had any water to wash themselves with.
As soon as it dawned and the road could be seen, Jiang Shang stood up and urged everyone to set off.
After calling Manmei several times, Jiang Shang saw that her face was a little red, touched her forehead, and then probed his own forehead. He suddenly became anxious and hurried to find Shan Boyuan, "I wonder if your highness has brought a doctor?
Miaoer seems to have caught the cold."
When Shan Boyuan heard that Manmei was ill, he didn't dare to be careless and asked Jiang Shang to carry her to his carriage. When Jiang Shang picked her up, he realized that she had no shoes on and her slender white feet were covered with mud.
The ankles were all dry. Jiang Shang hugged them and wiped away the mud debris from the ankles.
Jiang Shang showed a distressed look, and carried Manmiao directly to the car without caring about whether it was done properly or not. How could Chu Yuer be willing to have the two of them in the car while she was outside? As soon as she stepped forward, she saw Qing Pei and Lu Yi standing there.
Standing next to the carriage door, he looked at her with a half-smile, with undisguised contempt in his eyes.
She was immediately furious and wanted to scold them, but before she could speak, she saw Jiang Shang looking back at her impatiently, frowning coldly and saying, "Don't cause trouble."
She had never seen Jiang Shang with such an expression. She subconsciously wanted to pout and cry. Usually when she cried like this, Jiang Shang would come over to comfort her with a few words, and she would make some demands and force Jiang Shang to do so.
Shang agreed, but this time, she had an intuition that if she cried, it would only make Jiang Shang hate her even more. Not only would she not be able to attract sympathy and comfort, but she would be ridiculed by these servants.
Chu Yue'er is very strong. People with low self-esteem often behave very proudly because they are afraid that others will look down on them.
So Chu Yueer swallowed her words and stood by the carriage and watched bitterly, not daring to mention getting on the carriage together.
Shan Boyuan cooperated and gave up the place, and Jiang Shang directly placed Manmiao on the floor of the carriage. The floor was covered with thick white fox fur mats, which were warmer than the bed in the nunnery.
His Highness Shan Guo's specially made carriage can easily accommodate several people lying down on it. Shan Boyuan gave up his position, and Manmei had enough space to lie down.
Hongxiu took out a thin quilt from the secret compartment. She didn't know what kind of material it was made of. It was covered with gracefully. It actually felt warmer than a silk quilt, and she didn't feel cold at all.
Listening to their conversation, Manmei knew that she had a cold. She must have caught the cold while sleeping on a tree at night. She didn't feel that her body was that weak. But when Jiang Shang carried her in, she suddenly had an idea, so she didn't say anything and pretended
Pretending to be uncomfortable and unconscious, pretending to be asleep without making a sound.
In ancient times, colds were called ganfeng, not wind-cold as generally thought. These are two different things. According to Manwei’s understanding, wind-cold is more serious than catching a cold. These days, there are no special medicines like gankang and baijiahei.
Drink some medicine and my body is very resistant,
A sick person like Shan Boyuan can do without anything, but a doctor is absolutely indispensable.
The doctor came in and took his pulse, looked at the tongue coating and the fundus of his eyes, and made a judgment while stroking his gray goatee, "Young lady has caught a cold, please drink more hot ginger tea to warm yourself up. I will prescribe medicine after you get off the mountain."
Miss, eat it.”
After hearing this, Luyi turned around and asked the rough lady to prepare some ginger tea for Manmiao to drink. It would take a while before it could be cooked.
With her like this, how could Jiang Shang dare to set off with peace of mind, but he couldn't recover from his illness in the nunnery that was almost completely destroyed by fire. Although Shan Boyuan was not in good health, his brain was sufficient. He commanded in an orderly manner and arranged for guards to clear the way.
He and the rear of the palace, the carriage and the handymen and women followed in the middle, and walked slowly down the mountain.
"Master Jiang went to put out the fire, but did you see the person who set the fire?" Shan Boyuan sat in the car, chatting with Jiang Shang.
Manmei was lying in the carriage, and no one else could lie down, so they could only sit on the spot in the carriage. Fortunately, the space was big enough and it was not crowded.
On the way, the mother-in-law made ginger tea. She held Manmiao in her red sleeves and drank it in small sips with her purple hairpin. Manmiao drank a lot of hot ginger tea and started to sweat. At that time, her face softened a lot and her body temperature also dropped.
I was probably very tired, so I fell asleep like that.
Shan Boyuan and Jiang Shang couldn't sleep together, so they could only chat to pass the time.
Jiang Shang hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before. I got up when I heard someone shouting that there was a fire. At that time, I only saw a huge fire, but no one came to set it."
Shan Boyuan handed the medicinal teacup in his hand to Zihan, "I suspect that this matter is directed at me. Please keep this matter secret, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Shang didn't want to say anything, so he nodded and said, "Your Highness, don't worry."
Li Miao was lying on her side, seemingly asleep and breathing evenly, but in fact her mind was spinning very fast.
Jiang Shang acted very suspicious about what happened last night.
Manmiao's good temper does not mean that Manmiao is stupid. Many times, she chooses to believe Jiang Shang, but when there is really evidence that Jiang Shang is hiding something from her, she will not just pretend not to know.
Judging from Jiang Shang's usual behavior, if he was sleeping as he said and was awakened by the guards' shouts, the first thing he would do would be to rush to Manmei's room to see if she was okay.
She remembered that Yu Han told her about the time when Manmiao was kidnapped by Deng Yanshuo. Jiang Shang didn't even chase anyone, but went straight into her room to see if she was okay. He only saw the maid lying on the ground.
It is impossible for people to change their work style and habits in a short period of time. Jiang Shang is a martial arts practitioner and is very alert. If he really discovers a fire, he will ensure his own safety first before going to put out the fire. There is no reason to do so first.
Go put out the fire, and then take the time to see if you are safe.
When he appeared, Manmei looked at his clothes deliberately. There were a lot of mud on the hem of his singlet and shoes, but Jiang Shang was wearing socks.
I remember Jiang Shang's maid mentioned that Jiang Shang must take off his socks when sleeping. I remembered that Jiang Shang rushed to Lan Country to save her. When he was in the wooden house, he also took off his shirt and socks when sleeping.
As for sleeping, he said that it was a habit developed from practicing martial arts since childhood. If you step on the ground with bare feet without wearing socks, your senses will be much sharper.
If you are awakened by the sound of a fire alarm while sleeping, do you still have the time to put on your socks and then your shoes?
She looked around at the guards around her. They were all lying in plain clothes. It was not surprising that they were neatly dressed. It was a bit strange that Jiang Shang, who claimed to be sleeping, had time to dress neatly before putting out the fire.
He did come out wearing only his unlined clothes, but there were no mud spots or stains on his unlined clothes above the knees. Only the hem and shoes and socks were stained. No one who went to put out the fire would be so weirdly splashed with mud.
This can only mean that he was wearing a coat before, but for some unknown reason, he took off his coat and wore only a singlet, so the distribution of stains on the singlet was so strange.
A note to readers:
Someone asked about the update time, and I will discuss it with everyone: Should I post two chapters at once every day? Or once at 9 am and once at 2 pm. I don’t care. They are all written and saved. It depends on what you want.
