After Marrying a Vegetative Princess, I Went Crazy With Joy!

Chapter 12: If only Su Li could give me a massage every day!

The knowledge gained from the introduction to traditional Chinese medicine not only helped Princess Changle in her daily recovery and upkeep but also helped to convince the imperial physician.

The fates of Su Li and Princess Changle were intertwined, and he was determined to find a way to facilitate her recovery. For instance, he formulated food plans and prepared a sequence of massages and daily body care, all of which were current rehabilitation therapies. Although Su Li was proficient in implementing these techniques for the recovery of Princess Changle, but he couldnt convince the imperial doctors of this era.

With the benefit of medical education and a solid grounding in traditional Chinese medical theories, Su Li could understand and make connections between various medical concepts. He even incorporated modern rehabilitation techniques to verify his findings. Through his studies, he discovered that everything could be explained from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine.

For instance, in the theory of food supplements, it was advised against blindly consuming light porridge for health preservation. The idea of light health preservation only applied to those with weak appearance and who needed to avoid over-oiled and over-seasoned foods. Blindly consuming porridge and water was not the solution.

Similarly, in medical texts on herbal medicine, it was noted that paralyzed individuals often developed back sores. These sores were caused by blockages, preventing proper breathing and disrupting the flow of energy in the meridians. In short, modern care for vegetative patients had a basis in medical classics.

During this era, there was a lack of distinction between individuals in a vegetative state and those in a coma, resulting in a shortage of specific care methods for vegetative individuals. Most of the available information regarding care for such patients was scattered across various medical books.

Su Lis advantage was that he recognized the vegetative state as a new medical condition, and he possessed knowledge regarding the specific manifestations and daily care requirements for these patients. Consequently, he clearly understood how to address these issues, and his approach to problem-solving was much more straightforward.

If he could convince the imperial doctor, he could take responsibility for Princess Changles daily care. While Su Li might not be proficient in treating complex medical conditions, his knowledge was more than sufficient for routine maintenance tasks.

Through massage, exercises for the muscles and bones, and other similar techniques, Su Li could assist Princess Changle in maintaining her physical health. Since she was unable to move actively, Su Li would have to help her with these tasks, which would require some degree of physical contact.

In this way, he could become more intimately involved in Princess Changles care and could gain more points.

It would be reasonable for Su Li to consider taking Princess Changle outside to bask in the sun while carrying her on his back. Even though he might not be able to share the same bed with her or have more profound intimacy, this could still earn him thousands of points each day, adding up to hundreds of thousands of points per year.

Furthermore, this action could help to stabilize Princess Changles condition and improve her health, resulting in even more points. It would be a win-win situation for both of them, providing Su Li with valuable points while also benefiting Princess Changles well-being.

In the realm of consciousness, Princess Changles mind was in turmoil. She was a young girl who had recently reached adulthood and never had any intimate contact with the opposite sex. She had married a man whom she had never seen with her own eyes. When he took her hand and placed a soft kiss on her lips, she felt her heart stir with emotion.

Princess Changle found Su Li to be a completely uncivil person, but she didnt find it annoying because he treated her like a human being. Although her husband seemed a little strange, he always held her hand, which made her wonder why he didnt dislike her now. This thought suddenly popped up in her mind, and inexplicably, her emotions surged.

Su Li provided her with the greatest psychological comfort during her most embarrassing time, even though they had never met before. They were already in a legitimate husband-and-wife relationship. Princess Changle suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to call Su Li an uncivil person, as he was her own husband, and they had held a wedding approved by her parents. However, she was worried if he liked her or not, as she was in a vegetative state and he was forced to marry her. Princess Changle was suddenly worried about the gains and losses of the situation.

Su Li gently helped Princess Changle to lie on the bed and began massaging her. This was originally what Su Li had intended to do, but he was interrupted at the time and accidentally gained some knowledge of medical skills. He had been worried about not being professional enough and causing harm, but now he didnt have to worry anymore.

Princess Changle felt puzzled about Su Lis intentions once again as he proceeded with his actions. She noticed her socks being taken off and became even more anxious. Originally anxious, Princess Changle felt uneasy about Su Lis actions, but due to her immobility, she found herself completely at the mercy of her husband while the governor of the Princess Mansion was away.

He wont Princess Changle thought and wanted to safeguard her body, but her inability to move rendered her helpless in this situation.

Su Li examined the jade feet in his hands. They were beautiful, but he had no impure intentions. Instead, he applied the medical skills he had acquired through his studies. Princess Changle could feel her feet being grasped by Su Lis large hands. She wondered why he was holding her feet and feared he might do something inappropriate. However, Su Li only removed her socks and held her feet without doing anything else. This provoked Princess Changles curiosity.

She thought, His hands are so big.

One of his hands was even larger than her feet. As Su Li began to apply pressure, a mixture of soreness and pain emerged from the soles of her feet. Princess Changle had seen her mother massage her fathers feet before, and he always had a content and uncomfortable expression on his face. She imagined that if she could express herself now, she would have the same expression as her father.

Its itchy, she thought. It hurts, she continued. Sour!

This seemed to be an imitative expression of the sensations she was experiencing. Perhaps it indicated that Princess Changle was feeling an acidic sensation. She was in pain and pleasure simultaneously.

Professional medical and targeted massage primarily cause a sour sensation rather than comfort. Despite the indescribable sourness, Princess Changle sensed that the blockage and discomfort in her feet were softening.

It seems that my husband is not someone who takes advantage of others, she thought.

Princess Changle was initially worried that Su Li would engage in improper behavior while the governor of the princesss mansion was away, but she didnt expect him to simply give her a massage.

Thats not right he also kissed me Princess Changle thought about Su Lis dry yet gentle lips.

Alongside the indescribable bitterness, Princess Changle diverted her thoughts. She couldnt help it. She couldnt show her expression, couldnt voice it, couldnt scream. It would be too uncomfortable if she didnt redirect her thoughts and focus her attention elsewhere.

He has such rough hands and calluses too Princess Changle silently pondered in her heart.

Su Li remained focused on massaging Princess Changle, starting from her feet and moving up to her calves. Massage and exercise were crucial to prevent muscle atrophy and maintain mobility. If a vegetative person woke up without regular movement, they would still be unable to move, not much different from not waking up at all.

It feels so comfortable If only he could massage me every day! she pondered.

Lying motionless on the bed for twenty consecutive days, Princess Changles consciousness hadnt fully recovered. It was fine, and the sensations werent real. Whenever she consciously felt her body, she only experienced stiffness and overall soreness. Yet, every area that Su Li touched seemed to magically become smooth and lively. Although, the pleasant moments were short-lived.

With the sound of the door opening, the female officer who had gone to call the imperial doctor returned with the doctor. Upon entering, they caught sight of Princess Changles bare feet dangling off the side of the bed, with Su Li sitting on a low stool, holding her small leg.

Su Li, what are you doing!
