Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 112 The Prince Seems to Have Changed

When Ji Anyu saw Qing Wu coming in, he did not expose Shen Jing's little thoughts.

"You, don't blame Xu Yuyan for what happened last night. I know you were venting your anger for me, but if Xu Yuyan hadn't saved me, I don't know if I could have survived until you found me."

Qing Wu lowered her head awkwardly, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken out the anger I felt yesterday on Xu Yuyan."

Ji Anyu smiled dotingly, "Okay, let's write off the matter. Come and help me apply the medicine." She untied her belt with an uncomfortable look on her face.

"Miss, you have too many wounds. Can Xu Yuyan help you undress and apply medicine?"

Qing Wu carefully took off her clothes and saw that Ji Anyu's back was covered with wounds. She couldn't help but worry that the prince would mind Xu Yuyan having seen Ji Anyu's body.

"Xu Yuyan is a gentleman. I had no marriage proposal or engagement with him. He was very polite and did not take off my clothes. It was Ajing who applied the medicine to my wounds."

Ji Anyu blushed with shyness, her fingers tightly grasping the bellyband straps, and suddenly she thought of something, and said with a firm look.

"If Xu Yuyan really helps me undress and apply medicine, if Jing minds, then he can ask the emperor to cancel the engagement."

Ji Anyu deliberately said this to Qing Wuting in order to retreat in order to advance.

The biggest reason why she was able to marry into Prince Zhong's Mansion was that the emperor used her to give Shen Jing an heir, and she also used Shen Jing, each getting what she wanted.

Qing Wu applied the medicine, picked up the undershirt and wanted to put it on Ji Anyu, but found that the size of the undershirt was obviously much larger.

"Miss, why is this undershirt bigger than usual?"

Ji Anyu blushed as she put it on, "You're looking at it wrong, this is what I usually wear."

Qing Wu looked at the long sleeves of his shirt thoughtfully. The workmanship and fabric seemed to belong to the prince.

"The prince treats you so well that he doesn't even mind giving you this. Miss, you and the prince have become even closer."

Ji Anyu couldn't stand Qing Wu's teasing look, and thinking that he couldn't hide it anyway, he had to explain.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I had a fever and sweated last night, so my clothes were wet. The prince was afraid that I was seriously ill, so he took off his undershirt and gave it to me to change. After I put it on, it was stained with blood. I can't give it back to him. When you get back home, take it to a trustworthy maid to wash it, and then return it to him another day."

Qing Wu smiled and said, "Yes, I will keep my mouth shut. I will help you put on your coat."

Boom—

Shen Jing stood at the door and knocked, "Zhu Sha caught a pheasant to nourish your body, An Yu, have you applied the medicine?"

Ji Anyu lowered her eyes to glance at her belt. She was too hot last night to feel comfortable, but today the heat had dissipated. Recalling every detail of last night, she felt a little uncomfortable facing Shen Jing.

She took a deep breath and turned to look at the door.

"Okay, come in."

Shen Jing entered the house and quickly picked up the clay pot to stew the pheasant.

Ji Anyu looked at Shen Jing busying around, "I didn't expect that a dignified prince would do these cooking tasks. It is said that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, but you did it yourself."

"When my father was alive, I often followed him to the military camp. Once, there was unrest on the border and the military camp where General Kong was located ran out of food and grass. My father took me to help him. That was when I learned these cooking skills."

Shen Jing squatted down and added firewood skillfully.

"Now, I am cooking for my wife. Why should I go to the kitchen? Besides, everyone in the capital knows that I am not a gentleman."

Ji Anyu felt so sweet in her heart that she couldn't help but smile.

"The prince seems to have changed. He is not the same as before."

Shen Jing wiped the sweat from his cheek with the back of his hand and looked at Ji Anyu in confusion.

"Have I changed? Why can't I feel it?" Shen Jing's eyes turned slightly, "Maybe I realized something when I came to you yesterday."

At this time, Zhusha came in with a handful of mushrooms.

"Young Master, I just found a bunch of mushrooms on the wood. Do you want to add them to the chicken soup? I have already washed the mushrooms." Shen Jing took the mushrooms and signaled Zhusha to go out with his eyes. He lowered his head and checked the mushrooms one by one to see if they were poisonous. After confirming that they were non-toxic, he put them into the chicken soup.

Ji Anyu felt happier as she smelled the sweet aroma of chicken soup.

"Your Highness just said that you have some realizations. What did you realize?"

Shen Jing gazed at Ji Anyu deeply and said, "Cherish every day I spend with you."

He didn't want to be obsessed with the man of his dreams anymore. While Ji Anyu was still around, he wanted to spend more time with her. Maybe Ji Anyu would change her mind in the future.

Ji Anyu's eyes flickered, she looked directly at Shen Jing and smiled, then lowered her head guiltily. Why did she feel like there was something else behind Shen Jing's words?

Shen Jing didn't want to push Ji Anyu too hard, so he shifted his gaze back to the chicken soup, occasionally adding firewood to the fire.

The two of them were silent, their eyes fixed on the fire.

About half an hour later, Shen Jing put out the fire, served Ji Anyu a bowl of chicken soup, and took a clean bowl to hold the meat.

"I've already told Xu Yuyan that we'll go to worship his mother later. The soup is too hot, so you should eat the meat first."

Ji Anyu looked at the two chicken legs in the bowl, picked up one with chopsticks and put it in Shen Jing's bowl.

"The prince looked for me for a long time yesterday. Eat more to replenish your body."

Shen Jing's fingers were slightly stiff, but he was in good health!
Seeing Ji Anyu staring at him eating the chicken leg, he swallowed his rebuttal unwillingly, lowered his head slightly and bit off a big piece of meat.

"The pheasant in the mountains is sweet and delicious. Anyu, eat it while it's hot."

Ji Anyu nodded with joy, then grabbed the chicken leg and started to eat it.

"Has Master Xu eaten yet? Otherwise, ask him to come in and eat with us."

Shen Jing smiled faintly, "With Zhusha taking care of him, he will definitely be able to eat and drink well, don't worry."

Ji Anyu stuck his head out to try to see the scene outside the house, listened to Qing Wu's voice entertaining Xu Yuyan outside, and then turned his attention back to the chicken in front of him.

After the meal, Xu Yuyan put the sacrificial items into the basket.

Zhusha walked up to Shen Jing and whispered, "My Lord, the tail has been removed."

Shen Jing glanced at Qing Wu who was helping Ji Anyu out, and looked around.

"Take ten people down the mountain to attack Wei Songlin. Once you succeed, retreat immediately. Don't linger in the battle."

"Yes."

Ji Anyu noticed Zhusha and his men leaving in a low-key manner, and she and Shen Jing smiled at each other.

Shen Jing walked towards Ji Anyu, took Ji Anyu's hand and said, "Do you want me to carry you? Or hug you?"

"No need." Ji Anyu glanced at everyone and said, "My Lord, my injury has healed a lot. I can leave now."

Shen Jing raised the corner of his mouth and whispered softly, "If you are tired, tell me. Although face is important, your body is more important."

Ji Anyu squeezed Shen Jing's hand hard, "I know, others are watching, let go."

"I'll hold your hand to prevent you from falling. You don't want to continue drinking bitter medicine, do you?" Shen Jing stretched out his free hand to support Ji Anyu's arm.

Hearing Shen Jing's unquestionable tone, Ji Anyu had no choice but to follow Shen Jing's wishes.

Xu Yuyan buried his mother not far from the house, and they soon arrived at their destination.

While they were lighting incense and burning paper to commemorate Xu Yuyan's mother, Tang Mian was caught and questioned by Wei Songlin's men at the foot of the mountain.
