Chapter 236: Fainting
Little Ling’er went out, holding an umbrella in one hand and a cloak and a paper umbrella in the other.
Outside, the wind and rain raged, mixed with a few snowflakes, making people’s faces ache.
Wei Feng still knelt there with his back straight, letting the rain and snow fall on him, not even frowning, his gaze firm.
Seeing Little Ling’er come out, his eyes lit up.
Little Ling’er came to Wei Feng’s side and gave him the umbrella and cloak: “General Wei, this is what the princess asked me to give you! The princess asked you to leave the palace and stop kneeling here, it’s too cold! General Wei, please go back!”
Naturally, Little Ling’er would not repeat the princess’s original words.
Upon hearing this, disappointment flashed across Wei Feng’s eyes. So she didn’t want to see him!
He didn’t take the things in Little Ling’er’s hands and said resolutely: “No need, if the princess won’t see me and won’t agree to marry me, I will kneel here forever.”
If he leaves now, he will never be able to marry her in this lifetime!
He wanted her to see his determination, even if he knelt to death here, he would have no regrets!
Little Ling’er was anxious when she heard this: “But the weather is too cold, General Wei will freeze to death or get sick if he keeps kneeling here! The princess doesn’t want you to kneel here! General, please leave the palace quickly!”
Wei Feng ignored Little Ling’er’s words. Kneeling outside the palace was impossible!
Little Ling’er tried to persuade him for a long time, but Wei Feng remained unmoved. She had no choice but to stand there for a while, her clothes were soaked, and she was freezing. She hurried back to report!

In the room, Chu Zijun couldn’t sleep and had already gotten up. She stood by the window, looking at the outside, the cold air rushing towards her face.
“Princess, General Wei refuses to leave!” Little Ling’er ran in, shivering.
Chu Zijun saw that her clothes were soaked, her whole body was shivering in the cold, her face was purple, and she quickly said: “Go take a bath and change your clothes.”
“Yes!” Little Ling’er bowed and quickly retreated.
Chu Zijun then said to the palace maid Xiao Que’er, who was waiting outside the door: “Go and make ginger soup for Little Ling’er.”
“Yes!”
After instructing the palace maid to make ginger soup, she couldn’t help but look out the window again. Little Ling’er had only been out for a while and was already drenched. If she was like this, what about him, who had been kneeling outside all this time?
She only hoped that he would quickly understand that her mind was made up and leave heartbroken.
Chu Zijun returned to bed, but she couldn’t sleep anymore.
When Little Ling’er finished bathing, drank the ginger soup, and came back to serve her, she said: “Let me know when Little Anzi, who is guarding the door, has gone back. Let Xiao Que’er inform me, you don’t have to go out, lest you catch a cold.”
“Yes!” Little Ling’er went to give the instructions.
But an hour passed, and there was no news from Little Anzi.
The sound of wind and rain continued outside.
Chu Zijun couldn’t help tossing and turning in bed: “Has the rain stopped yet? Close the windows! The wind is too strong, it’s making me unable to sleep!”
Little Ling’er: “Princess, all the windows are closed.”
The weather was so cold and the wind was biting that the windows had never been opened.
Even though the windows were not open, the wind still came in through the cracks.
Fortunately, the floor heating was on in the room, making it warm.
Chu Zijun: “. . .”
After tossing and turning for half an hour, the sound of rain outside seemed to have disappeared, only the wind was howling, she asked: “Has the rain stopped?”
Little Ling’er opened the window and looked out: “Princess, the rain has stopped, but the snow is heavier!”
Chu Zijun: “. . .”
She irritably pulled the quilt over her head.
After a while, she lifted the quilt and said: “Let Little Anzi go to the Eastern Palace to find the Crown Prince and ask him to send someone to take him away!”
At this time, there were chaotic footsteps outside, and Chu Zijun heard Little Anzi’s voice.
Soon Xiao Que’er came in: “Princess, General Wei fainted outside!”
โฟโฟโฟ
Chu Zijun’s face changed, and she quickly got out of bed, “Bring him in!”
“Yes!” Xiao Que’er immediately responded.
Chu Zijun thought of something and said: “Wait, send him to the Eastern Palace! Yes, send him to the Eastern Palace and ask the imperial physician to go over!”
“Yes!” Xiao Que’er sighed in her heart and hurried out.

In the Creation Space, it was the time Shen Xingnong and Chu Tiankuo had agreed to meet.
The two met every night at the beginning of the Zi hour.
As soon as Chu Tiankuo saw Shen Xingnong, he asked: “Has Aunt Shen taken the antidote? How is the effect?”
Shen Xingnong nodded: “Yes, she has recovered her memory, the poison should be gone.”
“Shall I disguise myself and go out to feel her pulse tomorrow? You can bring her into the city and meet at Welcome Inn?”
The Jin Kingdom emperor was in Peach Blossom Village, and Chu Tiankuo didn’t dare to appear there for fear of being noticed by him.
After all, the Jin Kingdom emperor was not an easy person to fool.
Shen Xingnong thought for a moment: “Okay, I was just planning to take her to the city to see a doctor.”
Chu Tiankuo then talked about the important matter of the day: “Father Emperor has agreed to the marriage, and will draft the imperial decree tomorrow, you will receive it within seven days at the latest.”
Shen Xingnong casually asked: “The emperor agreed so easily? Doesn’t the royal family value family background and a woman’s reputation the most when it comes to marriage?”
Chu Tiankuo: “That’s why he’s marrying you! Don’t you know how outstanding you are?! You have already been bestowed the title of Marquis, tell me, which woman in the entire Chu Kingdom has a higher status than you? Father Emperor is a man who loves and cherishes talent, and he won’t let such a good opportunity slip away, so naturally he’ll quickly win you over.”
Of course, the royal family values family background when it comes to marriage.
But she was so outstanding that her family background and everything else could be ignored!
After all, all family backgrounds, all social statuses, were created by outstanding people in the beginning. She was so outstanding that she was enough to create a new social status on her own.
A hero’s origin is not important!
Shen Xingnong touched her chin: “That’s right, you are so smart! You’ve found a treasure! Cherish me well in the future!”
Chu Tiankuo laughed: “Don’t worry, I definitely will, it’s a must.”
Shen Xingnong, satisfied, changed the subject: “Today I improved the Muscle-Regenerating Herb and the Bone-Nourishing Herb. I was inspired by the genes of some healing herbs and made improvements. The Muscle-Regenerating Herb’s hemostatic effect is stronger, and the Bone-Nourishing Herb also has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.”
Shen Xingnong’s thoughts moved, and she took out two sets of herbs, the original Muscle-Regenerating Herb and the improved Muscle-Regenerating Herb, the original Bone-Nourishing Herb and the improved Bone-Nourishing Herb.
Chu Tiankuo nodded: “I’ll start trying to refine the Muscle-Regenerating Pill and the Bone-Nourishing Pill tomorrow.”
Chu Tiankuo thought to himself: I have to refine two more antidote pills, hmm, to please my future father-in-law!
“No hurry, wait until you have time.” Shen Xingnong knew that Chu Tiankuo was busy dealing with rebellious officials and traitors recently, and should be very busy.
“I know what I’m doing, don’t worry. It’s late, go to sleep!” He rubbed the top of her head and said.
“Okay.”
Then the two left the space.
After Chu Tiankuo left the space, he did not go to sleep immediately. He was indeed very busy, and would start interrogations tomorrow, so he took advantage of the night to study the refining sequence of the Muscle-Regenerating Pill and the Bone-Nourishing Pill from the Four Divine Pills, so that he could get up early tomorrow to refine them.
An hour later, he was about to go to bed when Little Fuzi came in and said: “Your Highness, the Eldest Princess has sent someone to deliver a message.”
