Princess seize the throne from her husband's mistress

Jiang Fenghua's pupils widened in shock. She stared blankly at Xie Shang's eyebrows and eyes. His face was still as cold as ice, and his movements were even more rude. He put her on the couch without any mercy, "Before the imperial physician comes, I will check if you have any broken bones."

"Your Highness can do that?" Jiang Fenghua's beautiful eyes flashed with a gleam.

Xie Shang didn't want to explain that this was common sense that a soldier must have, but it was a pity that he would never be able to go to the battlefield again. His father hated him and had given up on him. Xie Shang personally lifted the hem of her skirt and took off her shoes and socks. He saw that her flawless jade feet were red and her ankles were swollen. He pressed lightly with his fingers, and Jiang Fenghua burst into tears in pain. Xie Shang looked at the tearful beauty biting her handkerchief in front of him without saying a word, and said, "If it hurts, just scream it out, it will be better if you scream it out."

Jiang Fenghua kept crying, closed her eyes tightly, and shook her head. Because of the unbearable pain, she even began to bite the back of her hand.

Xie Shang had never seen a woman who was so afraid of pain. He hadn't done anything yet, and it would be even more painful when he applied ice later. "The bones are not injured, it's just sprained. Apply ice first and then apply medicine." Xie Shang ordered the palace maid to get ice.

She said, "Your Highness, does it hurt when you apply the medicine?"

"It will hurt, just bear with it." He said.

Jiang Fenghua's legs shrank, and she curled up on the couch, her brows furrowed tightly. Her eyes were like deep lakes, filled with crystal tears. The tears on her cheeks were like pearls, and her fair face was stained with a halo, which was so beautiful that it broke people's hearts.

"Don't apply medicine, it won't hurt so much if I don't move it, let it heal slowly." Jiang Fenghua said.

"If you don't apply ice and medicine, don't think about your foot getting better, it will become lame." Xie Shang deliberately frightened her.

Jiang Fenghua was so scared that she straightened her legs again and kicked her foot into his arms, "I can bear it, I don't want to become a cripple."

Xie Shang shook his head helplessly, and soon the palace maid also found ice cubes. Xie Shang ordered the palace maid to apply ice to her, but as soon as the ice cubes touched her ankle, Jiang Fenghua's tears flowed like pearls with broken strings, and her lips trembled slightly in pain, and she kept shouting, "Be gentle, it hurts..." Seeing this, the palace maid dared not use force, as she would tremble with pain all over her body as long as she was touched a little.

Xie Shang couldn't bear to watch it any longer, "How can the swelling go down without some strength?" The maid dared not disobey, and tried to increase her strength.

Jiang Fenghua bit the back of her hand so hard that it hurt and even left a bloody mark.

Xie Shang saw that she looked like she was about to faint from the pain, and said to the maid, "Your strength is not right, I will do it, you guys leave first." The maid quickly stepped back as if relieved. Xie Shang was sitting on a low stool, holding her feet gently with both hands, and his cold fingertips gently circled her ankles, trying to let her slowly get used to the pain. He said, "Don't bite your hand. If you bite again, you will have to treat your hand again. Hold my arm and think about something else to distract yourself."

Jiang Fenghua nodded obediently and put her hands on his arm. The next second, when the ice cubes came into contact with the painful part, she suddenly grabbed it and pinched it hard. Xie Shang felt her strength increase, and was afraid that his arm would be pinched purple by her, but at least she didn't move around anymore. He continued to circle to reduce the swelling for her. When the pain was unbearable, she suddenly hugged his shoulders and pinched his shoulders and back with her fingers.

Xie Shang frowned slightly, and his handsome features were stained with blush. The girl's body fragrance came, and her cheek rubbed against his ears, which was numb.

After a series of actions, it was unknown how long it took for her ankle to be slightly relieved and not so swollen.

Jiang Fenghua seemed to faint from the pain, and she collapsed in his arms with a confused consciousness. At this time, her forehead and eyebrows were covered with sweat, and her body seemed to be wet with sweat. She looked adorable with her sweaty appearance.

Xie Shang's throat slipped, and his heart beat violently. Jiang Fenghua was very dishonest and lingered in his arms. Fortunately, there were only two of them in the palace, otherwise if the palace maids and eunuchs saw them like this, they would think that the two had just done something shameful.

Outside the palace, Queen Cheng asked the imperial physician to leave medicine for the injuries caused by the fall and let him leave. She raised a faint smile at the corner of her lips and told people not to enter the palace to disturb them.

Nanny Xi whispered in her ear, "I have never seen the prince so patient. If the princess can win the prince's favor, it will relieve the queen's worries. Then the daughter of the Su family..."

"Shang'er is sentimental. He will never give up Su Tingwan because of Jiang Fenghua. Now it depends on whether Shang'er can be interested in Jiang Fenghua."

"Yes." Nanny Xi said again, "It is inevitable that the prince will be moved by such a delicate beauty."

"Since the emperor has agreed to let Shang'er take the position of Jingzhao Yin, it means that the emperor has not completely given up on him. With Shang'er's intelligence, he will definitely make some achievements." Jiang Fenghua was right. Only by letting Shang'er be under the emperor's nose can he remember that he still has such an excellent legitimate son.

When it's time for the couple to return to their estate, Empress Cheng pretended to be tired and did not come out to see them, so that they could go back by themselves.

Jiang Fenghua applied medicine and had a bandage on her foot. She was carried to the carriage by Xie Shang.

...

After returning to the Duke of Heng's Estate, Xie Shang carried her into the bedroom and then turned to leave. Jiang Fenghua hurriedly called him, "Prince..."

Xie Shang was stunned, "What's the matter?"

"Thank you." Jiang Fenghua spoke softly.

Xie Shang said in a deep voice, "It was also because the imperial mother accidentally scared you that you fell and sprained your foot. You're welcome."

She said anxiously, "And the last time, the time before that, thank you."

Xie Shang paused, knowing that she was talking about the wedding day, and the time when she almost fell off the carriage in the palace. He instructed Hong Xiu, "Be careful not to touch her feet with water when bathing, and don't let her go out for the next few days."

When he hugged her, he clearly felt that her clothes were wet with sweat. She was sweating all over, and it should be difficult for her to fall asleep.

Xie Shang himself didn't realize it. He seemed to have accepted Jiang Fenghua as his wife, and the way they get along with each other was very much like a couple who respect each other.

Hongxiu answered respectfully, "Yes, I will be careful."

After Xie Shang left, Jiang Fenghua sat up straight, her eyebrows and eyes returned to normal, she raised the water cup and took a sip: "Prepare water."

Hongxiu said, "Princess, what happened between you and the prince in the palace? Why did the prince carry you back and say those words... The prince seemed to care about you."

"Don't think too much, he does the same to other women, especially to Su Tingwan." The shy look on Jiang Fenghua's face disappeared instantly and was replaced by an indifferent look.

"Oh." Hongxiu didn't understand why the young lady wouldn't be moved. The prince was so graceful and elegant, and any woman would be moved by a handsome man like him!

After Jiang Fenghua took a bath, she asked someone to put the four treasures of the study on the table and began to practice calligraphy quietly. Xie Shang would not come tonight, and he had no reason to enter the bridal chamber again, so she had to think of a way.
