Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Chapter 196 Let’s get married

Manzhu shook her head. "It is indeed the gold foil fruit, but it has been stored for too long. Naturally, its effect is not as good as fresh herbs."

Jiang Lige immediately became anxious, "What should I do? Can it still be used?"

"What's the rush?" Manzhu glanced at Jiang Lige half-jokingly, and then gave an answer under Jiang Lige's bitter and resentful gaze, "It can be used, but it can only be used on sunny days to restore the effectiveness of this medicine."

The reason why the gold foil fruit is named gold foil fruit is that when its fruit is exposed to sunlight, the whole body of the fruit emits a golden luster, just like gold foil, hence the name gold foil fruit.

There are no special requirements for the use of fresh gold foil fruit, but for a gold foil fruit like this one that has been stored for decades, its maximum medicinal effect can only be exerted when the fruit is exposed to the sun and emits a golden luster.

Jiang Lige finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. "It's okay. It's just a matter of waiting a few more days. I've waited for so long, so a few more days won't make a difference."

Manzhu closed the medicine box and fiddled with her bottles and jars while telling Jiang Lige, "Yeah, don't forget to tell your wife not to try to kill herself by using internal energy before she's fully recovered."

Jiang Lige blushed as he heard these unfamiliar words, but he couldn't help but feel embarrassed to offend Manzhu, so he bit his lip and replied with a blushing face, "I understand."

Manzhu was too lazy to pay attention to Jiang Lige. She leaned back lazily on the chair, and her attitude of seeing him off was obvious.

Jiang Lige was also tactful. After saying goodbye to Manzhu honestly, he left the yard.

I looked up at the overcast sky and wondered with some disappointment, how long will it take before the sun comes out?

……

There are few sunny days in the south city in winter. Jiang Lige hopes for clear weather every day, and the entire Xu family is worried about it.

Among them, Old Lady Xu was the most concerned. The first thing she asked when she woke up every day was to ask the nanny what the weather was like today. She was even more concerned than Jiang Lige himself.

Perhaps it is because sincerity can move mountains and open up new horizons. A few days later, Nancheng finally welcomed the first sunny day of early winter.

Early in the morning, the Xu Mansion was filled with joy, which seemed even more joyful than the New Year.

Manzhu got up early, which was rare for her. She held the medicine box and placed it in the sun for about an incense stick of time. The originally dark fruit indeed emitted a golden glow all over.

Manzhu quickly picked up the gold foil fruit, placed it in a transparent glass cover, and was about to go into the house.

Jiang Lige hurried forward, "Manzhu, let me help you."

"No need. Too many people would distract me." Manzhu refused Jiang Lige without thinking. After thinking for a while, she instructed, "Find some people to guard the yard and don't let anyone in to disturb us."

"Okay, how many days will it take?"

"Three days."

Jiang Lige nodded when he heard that, but he couldn't help but take a step forward and asked, "Can I go in and see the prince?"

Manzhu looked at Jiang Lige strangely, wondering if it was really true that the person who fell in love felt so lost after just one day of not seeing each other.

Although Manzhu didn't understand all this romance, she nodded. "Once the treatment begins, no visitors are allowed. I'll go get the medicine now. It'll take about half an incense stick of time."

Jiang Lige understood immediately and said quickly, "Okay, thank you Manzhu."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Lige strode into the house holding her skirt. Seeing this, Old Madam Xu shook her head repeatedly outside the house and wanted to rush over to straighten Jiang Lige's clothes.

After entering the room, Jiang Lige saw Ning Yunxiao lying on the bed.

Ning Yunxiao's internal energy had been sealed by Manzhu, and there was little blood on his lips. The daily pain made the young man look a little weak. When he saw Jiang Lige enter the room, the young man's originally numb eyes suddenly flashed with a ray of light, and he called out with a faint smile.

"Ali."

"Sir."

Ning Yunxiao sat up and looked at Jiang Lige deeply. Somehow, he felt a little sad for a moment.

Manzhu once told him privately that Night Rakshasa was the most poisonous substance in the world and the detoxification process was a life-or-death struggle. In other words, even with the golden foil fruit as the guide, Manzhu could not guarantee that the entire treatment process would be foolproof.

Whether he can survive remains unknown.

When Ning Yunxiao thought that this might be the last time he would see Jiang Lige in this life, he couldn't help but want to look at Jiang Lige one more time, one more time, and one more time.

Greedily tracing her outline, engraving it in my heart.

Jiang Lige was obviously unaware of this at the moment. He took a few steps forward and sat on the stool beside the bed, still smiling brightly. "Manzhu is an excellent doctor, having inherited the true teachings of the Chi tribe's witch doctors. Your Highness will be well after a good sleep."

Hearing Jiang Lige's tone that sounded like coaxing a child, Ning Yunxiao couldn't help but smile. He raised his arm and placed his big palm on Jiang Lige's head.

"Ari, thank you."

"Why are you being so polite to me, Your Highness?" Jiang Lige smiled and said, "If Your Highness really wants to thank me, he'll get better sooner so I don't have to worry so much anymore."

Ning Yunxiao nodded in agreement, his voice so gentle it seemed to melt people, "Okay."

Jiang Lige was afraid that Ning Yunxiao would be nervous, so he talked to him about some irrelevant things to distract his attention.

Ning Yunxiao didn't care whether these words were illogical or long-winded, he accepted them all.

Jiang Lige was talking excitedly when he heard regular footsteps outside. He thought it was Manzhu coming back.

"I should go now. Don't delay Manzhu from detoxifying the prince."

After saying this, Jiang Lige turned around and ran away without even waiting for Ning Yunxiao's response.

Who would have thought that as soon as I took a step forward, a big hand grabbed my wrist.

Before Jiang Lige could even react, the man pulled him into his arms. The faint scent of herbs lingered at his nose. Everything was so sudden.

Jiang Lige was a little confused, "Prince?"

At this moment, Ning Yunxiao was neither as cold nor as gentle as when they first met. He acted domineering and stiff, like a unreasonable child.

Ning Yunxiao also knew that a single man and a single woman shouldn't act like this, but he always felt that if he didn't say some words now, he might never have the chance to say them again.

Some missed opportunities last a lifetime in just a moment.

The words that I had practiced silently countless times but had never spoken out loud were finally spoken out at this moment.

"Ari, if I'm still alive in three days, we'll get married."

The soft flesh around his waist was still tightly held by Ning Yunxiao, but Jiang Lige felt a sense of security for no reason. He tentatively reached out and hugged him back, and responded softly.

"Ok, I will wait for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard two light coughs at the door as if to remind him. When he turned around, he could see Manzhu holding the door frame with one hand, with an expression of "corrupting the morals in broad daylight" on her face.

The two people in the room jumped away instantly and fled in panic.

The moment the door closed, the three-day treatment began.
