Chapter 12: Befriending the Future New Emperor
When Si Yan returned to the plum garden, Shen Ning had not woken up yet. She was wrapped tightly in a quilt, her cheeks flushed, like a ripe peach, so beautiful and juicy that you could taste the sweet juice if you took a bite.

The sandalwood in the room was mixed with a salty and fishy smell, and it smelled like it had gone bad.

Si Yan opened the window a little, and fresh air rushed in. The scent of sandalwood returned to normal.

Perhaps noticing the noise in the room, Shen Ning on the bed hummed unconsciously, as if expressing dissatisfaction.

Si Yan stood at the head of the bed, looking at her well-behaved and docile appearance, and unconsciously thought of her as she was last night.

Shen Ning suddenly felt a little cold while sleeping. He opened his eyes subconsciously. The moment he met Si Yan's eyes, all the hairs on his body stood up.

"Husband, husband?"

Panic, fear, forced calmness, love, all these emotions fell into Si Yan's eyes, what was there not to understand.

He threw the porcelain bottle on the bed and said, "I'm going to buy some medicine. Can I help you apply it?"

Shen Ning's hands on the quilt tightened slightly, and her ears felt hot: "I'll do it myself."

Si Yan sat down next to her, raised his hand to smooth her hair, and said meaningfully: "Why are you acting like a little girl? Are you shy?"

Shen Ning: She is not shy, she is just scared. She finally understands what Shangguan Jing meant by the wild bull plowing the land.

Although she felt disgusted in her heart, she couldn't show it on her face. Shen Ning climbed onto Si Yan's shoulders and acted coquettishly: "You weren't this mean before."

Holding the soft and beautiful girl in his arms, Si Yan suddenly gave up the idea of ​​exposing her in person. After all, there is a difference between a man and a woman having that kind of relationship, and she is his first woman.

Since they are husband and wife in name, it is not unacceptable if she lied to him just to find someone to rely on.

Thinking of this, Si Yan held Shen Ning's hand and squeezed it: "Get up and have dinner."

Shen Ning dragged her broken body up. She was not short, but she was still far behind Si Yan. The eight feet one meter tall man was like a mountain in front of her and almost cost her half her life.

After applying the medicine, Shen Ning hurriedly ate and wanted to go back to the room to catch up on some sleep, but Si Yan followed her. Shen Ning didn't think he needed to rest, considering his spirit of getting up early to practice martial arts despite being sick. She felt like she was facing a great enemy, and her legs were shaking when the tall body came over her.

"Husband, this is in broad daylight, it's not good."

Si Yan pinched her waist and pressed her towards him, his voice low and magnetic: "What are you thinking about?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his long arm and took the cloak from the rack behind Shen Ning: "I will be busy late these two days, so I will rest in the front yard. You should rest early at night."

Shen Ning's eyes lit up after hearing this. God has been very kind to her!

She said sympathetically, "My husband has more important business."

Si Yan lowered his eyes and glanced at her, then touched the top of her head with his big hand.

Shen Ning thought that his superb acting skills had convinced Si Yan, so he began to prepare for his own affairs.

She couldn't just rely on men. She couldn't just eat, drink and have fun like before without any ambition. She had to take care of her natal family affairs and make friends with the future new emperor in the palace.

Speaking of the third prince, Shen Ning actually already had a plan to deal with him.

I heard that the third prince was once kidnapped by criminals and was rescued after a near-death experience, but unfortunately he became blind. After many twists and turns, he returned to the palace and was cured.

As they spent time together day and night, the Third Prince secretly fell in love with the girl who saved him and promised to marry her. Later, he actually did it, and now the savior has become the future imperial consort.

The story sounds perfect, but Shen Ning knows that the Third Prince has recognized the wrong person, and the person now is not the one who saved him.

According to the developments in the previous life, the Third Prince would discover the clues only after he ascended the throne. Shen Ning calculated that if she discovered the Third Prince's savior in advance and then secretly acted as a matchmaker between the two, the Third Prince would have to remember her kindness no matter what happened in the future.
