Chapter 1539: Will the Princess Still Love Me When She Comes Back?
In history, the Xifan people have indeed enjoyed a period of peace and prosperity under the current rule of Fu Zheng.
But Fu Zheng was complacent and only wanted to keep power firmly in his own hands, and never thought about the people of Xifan.
Later, severe drought and insect plagues occurred in Xifan. The people were displaced and had to eat their own children. Later, it developed into a plague. In the end, only a few people were left. They fled to the Yu Dynasty and integrated into it.
Most of the Xifan people and their civilization completely disappeared in the long river of history.
"How miserable he must have felt at that time..." Shi Li murmured in a low voice.
It is still ten years before those things happened in Xifan.
Maybe she could do something.
Shi Li is still unsure now, and the most important thing is to take care of the present.
Seven or eight days later, the grand procession sent by Changning to pick her up finally arrived in Xifan.
Shi Li had never seen such a bright and friendly smile on Fu Zheng's face.
It is not surprising when you think about it. She is the only princess of the Yu Dynasty and the daughter of the Empress Dowager, so she is extremely noble.
The Westerners who had once looked down on her now dared not look at her directly, and all lowered their heads. Especially the maids who followed her with Xunli, their shoulders were shaking.
If it were in the past, Shi Li would probably let this maid know whether he was someone she could look down upon.
But she had been in contact with the Son of God for a long time, and her character seemed to be influenced by it. She did not want to get into trouble with a maid, so she took the matter calmly.
Among the envoys who came to greet Shi Li, there was also a middle-aged woman. As soon as she saw Shi Li, she immediately burst into tears and walked up to her to hold her hand.
"Your Highness... Princess, you have been wronged. Now it's all right. We can finally take you back!"
The woman was the original owner's wet nurse, Ms. Zeng. When Shi Li was sent to Xifan, she was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed. It was said that she cried at home for more than three days.
Now that Shi Li can go back, Zeng is the first one to rush to Shi Li’s father, the emperor, and cry and ask to come and pick her up.
Shi Li took a step back and just smiled and nodded at her, "Long time no see, thank you for your hard work."
Zeng didn't hold Shi Li's hand, but she didn't feel embarrassed. She was still quietly wiping her tears, expressing her reluctance and heartache for the princess.
Shi Li did not look at her again, but listened quietly to the conversation between Xifan Fuzheng and the envoy of Yu Dynasty.
Now that the Yu Dynasty is strong, they came to take her back. Although they brought some gifts, they were all out of courtesy and to save face for both parties.
Xifan Fu Zheng had no power to make any comment and could only greet the envoy with a smile.
In other words, the messenger only informed him that Yu Chao was going to take Shi Li back, and Xifan had no right to say "no" at all.
So, I really have to go.
Although she had known that such a day would come, when it finally came, Shi Li still felt as if she was in another world.
Through the smiling faces of the assistants and envoys, I saw the Son of God sitting on a high seat like a mascot.
He had to show up on such occasions, but he just showed up.
No need to even talk, just be there.
The Son of God happened to look at her.
They looked into each other's eyes from a distance.
Smile and nod at her.
From now on, we will go our separate ways.
When the envoys of the Yu Dynasty came to Xifan, although they were disgusted, they couldn't really accept Shi Li and leave immediately. At least they had to stay for a day or two.
Xifan Fu Zheng also prepared a welcoming banquet for the envoys.
Shi Li was not interested, she just found a free time and went out to say goodbye to the Son of God.
Before she even stepped out of the palace gate, Zeng called her from behind.
"Where are you going, Your Highness? I will go with you!" After Zeng arrived, she followed Shi Li and looked at her eagerly, saying that she wanted to make up for the longing she had for not seeing her for several years.
Shi Li turned around and looked at her, "I'm going to go say goodbye to the Son of God. It won't be long."
"Your servant..." Zeng wanted to say that she would go with them, but was stopped by Shi Li's next words.
Shi Li said to her seriously: "The Son of God does not welcome strangers."
Zeng was a very superstitious person. Although his beliefs were different from those of Xifan, he knew the identity of the Son of God in Xifan, so he immediately shut up and took a step back.
