Chapter 202 Shen Xue Enters Beijing
It was getting late, and Shen Rou took Shangguan Yunting to the room next to her to rest. Worried that the kang was too hard, she ordered Fang Yun to spread out two quilts.
"Although this kang is a bit hard, it is very warm to sleep on in the cold winter."
Shangguan Yunting sat on the quilt and felt around, "Hmm! It's indeed warm. This is my first time sleeping on a kang, and it feels great. It would be even better if I had a beautiful woman in my arms."
Shen Rou rolled her eyes. "You wish! Go to bed early. I have to go back to sleep too. I have to travel tomorrow."
Shangguan Yunting looked at Shen Rou with a fiery gaze, "It's still early, Xiaorou, come chat with me! We haven't seen each other for so long, I have a lot to say to you."
"Didn't we talk a lot during the day?"
Shangguan Yunting said softly and ambiguously: "There are some things that can only be said when we are alone together."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Shen Rou into his arms, tightly hugged her waist with both hands, and put his head on her chest to feel her heartbeat and breath.
Just as Shen Rou was about to struggle, she heard Shangguan Yunting's low and magnetic voice, "Xiao Rou, don't move. It will be fine in a moment. I haven't seen you for a few months. I miss you. I miss the smell of your body and every moment we were together."
"Do you know how scared and worried I was when I heard the news in the capital that you went to Beiyan alone to rescue people?"
"I was afraid something might happen to you. I was afraid you'd never come back. This was the first time in my life I felt fear. Even when I first went into battle, I never felt this scared."
Shen Rou could feel Shangguan Yunting's mood as he spoke, and patted his back gently to comfort him: "I know you are worried about me. They are my closest relatives, so I must go."
"I don't blame you, I just feel bad for not being there with you to face it."
"Didn't you take the Emperor's letter to Beiyan to put pressure on the Emperor? If the Emperor hadn't stepped in to deal with Rong Zhang, my grandmother and I wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed. With you as my backer, I have the confidence to do so."
"Xiao Rou, next time you encounter something, you can try to rely on me. Don't always try to handle it alone. It's too tiring."
Shen Rou's previous personality was that she would never ask others to do things that she could do herself. Now she was deeply touched when she heard Shangguan Yunting's words.
She held Shangguan Yunting's face in her hands, looked into his eyes, and said gently, "Well, I understand."
"Xiao Rou, I traveled all the way from Beiyan in the cold winter to attend your cousin's wedding and also went to see mother. What do you think of my performance?"
“Great, absolutely great!”
“Is there a reward?”
Shen Rou lowered her head and kissed Shangguan Yunting on the side of his face. "Do you like this reward?"
Shangguan Yunting pressed Shen Rou on the kang. He looked at the delicate beauty in his arms, bent down and kissed her lips affectionately.
Shen Rou also responded enthusiastically to Shangguan Yunting's love. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, and their bodies were closely pressed together.
The temperature on the kang gradually rose and their breathing became rapid. The two enjoyed each other's warmth and love and felt Shangguan Yunting's desire and enthusiasm.
Just when Shen Rou was wondering what to do next, Shangguan Yunting suddenly stopped, lay on the side, gasping for breath, and suppressed the desire in his heart.
Shen Rou understood that Shangguan Yunting's restraint was for her, and she was even more touched by his respect.
She looked sideways at Shangguan Yunting's chest rising and falling, and felt a little moved. She thought how lucky she was to meet such a perfect man.
After Shangguan Yunting calmed down, he gently stroked Shen Rou's hair and spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "Xiao Rou, I don't want to do anything unbecoming before I marry you in a grand sedan chair, lest I disrespect or look down on you. I want to save the best for our wedding night."
Shen Rou's heart was filled with emotion and sweetness, and she responded softly.
"You must be tired after traveling for so many days. Rest early."
Shen Rou didn't wait for Shangguan Yunting to speak, and quickly left the room. Before closing the door, she gave Shangguan Yunting a wink and said with a smile: "Good night, have a sweet dream."
Shangguan Yunting said lovingly: "You naughty boy, how can you have a good dream when a beautiful woman is watching you but you can't eat her?"
Looking at Shen Rou's departing back, he shook his head helplessly, then lay down.
He had been on the road or on the way for the past two or three months, and was already exhausted. Now seeing Shen Rou safe and sound, he relaxed his whole body, lay on the kang for a while and fell asleep.
Shen Rou returned to her room, still blushing and her heart beating fast, thinking that Shangguan Yunting had not stopped just now. Would she give in to him?
Considering the situation at the time, it’s really hard to say. After all, I also had a little hope and couldn’t help myself.
Shen Rou lay on the kang and thought about every little detail of her acquaintance with Shangguan Yunting. Those beautiful memories made her lips curl up unconsciously.
If two people in modern times have reached the stage of discussing marriage, they would have already broken through the last line of defense and truly become one.
Shen Rou tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Suddenly, she thought of her sister who must be worried about Shangguan Rui's leg. She entered her space, turned on her computer, and searched online for related surgeries.
I wrote down the steps and operations of the operation one by one and gave them to Xiaoxue tomorrow. On the way to the capital, I will let her slowly study and explore the mysteries involved. I hope it can help her.
If she can succeed in her research in this field and improve her medical skills, she will be able to help more people in need.
Shen Xue was lying on the kang in her room. Thinking of how Shangguan Rui had crippled her in order to break off the engagement, she felt heartbroken and burst into tears. Touching the jade pendant Shangguan Rui had given her, tears rolled down her face like beads with broken strings.
"Brother Rui, no matter what you become, you are one of the most important people to me. In my heart, you will always be the one who brings me warmth and helps me through the darkness."
"I will find a way to heal your leg when we get to the capital."
The next morning, Shangguan Yunting prepared a carriage to give the sisters news on the road. Su Yu and Su Luo put the luggage of Shen Rou and her sister in the carriage.
The entire Shen family stood at the door to see them off. Shen Nan looked at them reluctantly, "Sisters, remember to write to me when you get to the capital, and remember to visit me in Yunzhou after you're done with your work."
Shen Rou touched Shen Nan's head and said, "Xiao Nan, don't worry! I will return to Yunzhou after I finish my work in the capital. If you have anything, please ask Xu Yang and Ye Qing to send me a message. The capital and Yunzhou are not far away, so I will be back soon."
Shen Nan nodded softly.
"Grandma and Grandpa, we're leaving now. It's okay for you to go to Yunzhou later. You don't have to worry as Ye Qing is here."
"We'll only be there in two or three days. Please be careful on your journey."
Shen Rou looked at Gao Feng and the others and said, "Gao Feng, the six of you go to Yunzhou to protect my grandmother and my brother and the others. Make an agreement with Ye Qing and the others not to cause any conflict."
"I obey my orders."
The uncle and his wife looked at Shangguan Yunting cautiously, "Your Highness, what happened yesterday..."
"Uncle, what happened yesterday is over. I hope it won't happen again in the future."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that such a thing will never happen again."
Sister Shen Rou sat in the carriage and reluctantly said goodbye to her family.
Shangguan Yunting and his guards mounted their horses and said to Xu Yang, Mo Chuan, and Mo Xuan, "Xu Yang, escort grandma and grandpa to Yunzhou safely. Help Ye Qing handle matters there. If anything happens, report it to me."
"I obey my orders."
The carriage moved slowly, and the Shen Rou sisters waved to their grandmother and Shen Nan. The Shen family watched them disappear from their sight before returning home.
Shen Rou handed the copied surgical information to Shen Xue and said softly, "Xiaoxue, this is the information I found about treating leg injuries. I hope it can help you."
Shen Xue took it and quickly looked through it, "Sister, can this leg injury really be treated with surgery?"
"When did my elder sister ever lie to you? Doesn't the cesarean section really exist? Don't you remember how many lives you saved?"
"As long as you put the bone back in place, fix it with something, and let it grow slowly, everything will be fine."
"You wrote it down to use nails, but I don't have any nails!"
"The Third Prince will surely be able to come up with a solution. You just need to research it thoroughly and conduct experiments on human bodies to ensure it is foolproof."
"In the human body?"
"If it's not on a human body, then how could it be on a rabbit? Once we get to the capital, just hand it all over to the Third Prince."
Shen Xue's eyes were filled with surprise and gratitude. "Thank you, big sister. Where did you get this?"
"Don't worry about this. Big sister will definitely not harm you."
Shen Xue nodded firmly, "I believe in you, big sister. If you say it's okay, it will definitely work."
Along the way, Shen Xue carefully studied the information and was determined to cure Shangguan Rui's leg.
