Chapter 1555: Will the Princess Still Love Me When She Comes Back?
The Wen family man from Jinghe is as graceful as jade.
Although Jinghe is far away from Changning, Shi Liyuan has heard a lot about Wen Ruyu's reputation in the Changning Palace.
He was born in a good family, looked good, was good at both literature and martial arts, and was quite talented. He was the dream man of countless girls. The Wen family was a century-old family, and they always kept a low profile, but at this time they pushed Wen Ruyu out.
Shi Li looked up at the emperor in confusion, waiting for his explanation.
"He brought a book of medical skills that is not passed on to others in the Wen family. It can help you get rid of the danger in Qizhou." The emperor sat on the high seat and explained helplessly. If it were not for this reason, he certainly would not have agreed to Wen Ruyu.
Even Shili was silent.
Now I don’t know what the Wen family and Wen Ruyu are planning, but a medical book that may save the people from the plague is too important to her.
If it was someone else, the emperor and the princess could have ordered them to present the medical book. But facing a century-old family, the emperor and Shi Li had to treat them with courtesy.
Shi Li reacted and sighed deeply, "I understand. Things have their priorities. I won't make things difficult for him."
"Okay, go ahead. If there is any situation, let someone report it to me in time." The emperor nodded, and looked at Shi Li with some concern, "No matter what, always put your own safety first."
Shi Li walked out of the emperor's study and saw Wen Ruyu standing quietly in the corridor.
The tall young man, wearing a low-key but expensive snow-white robe, with a handsome face and a warm smile on his lips, is indeed easy to touch people's hearts.
But that's all.
Shi Li walked forward calmly, "Master Wen, I want to leave for Qizhou immediately."
"Everything will be arranged by Your Highness." Wen Ruyu turned around and lowered his head slightly.
Over the years, Shi Li has always been concerned about people's livelihood and has stockpiled a lot of medicinal materials and food for the future. This time, the incident happened suddenly, so she asked a few confidants to take inventory of the inventory in the mansion and set off later, while she led her men and horses to Qizhou first.
Wen Ruyu was both talented in literature and martial arts, so riding a horse was naturally no problem for him. He followed her and rode quickly all the way.
When they stopped at the posthouse, Wen Ruyu looked at her with admiration, "Seeing is believing. Your Highness is indeed as good a rider as the rumors say."
Shi Li's heart was filled with worry for Ming Shi. She just smiled perfunctorily at him and wasn't very interested in talking to him.
While resting in the inn, the servant brought by Wen Ruyu looked very angry, as if he felt that their master had suffered a great injustice.
"Sir, the food and tea here are too bad."
The Wen family of Jinghe has been a family of nobles for a hundred years, and their food, clothing and other expenses are comparable to those of the imperial palace. Naturally, they are not used to the food and the use of things in the inn.
Wen Ruyu held the teacup in her hand but did not bring it to her mouth. She just shook her head and said softly, "It's okay."
Shi Li stopped slightly when she reached the second floor and looked back at him.
He seemed to sense something and looked up at me, his expression still as gentle and humble as ever.
Somehow, Shi Li suddenly remembered something that happened a long time ago.
Even a noble man like Ming Shi in Xifan knew how to dig ground beans, and his food and clothing were simple, without any waste.
The so-called aristocratic families are indeed noble and famous people, but how can they truly understand the sufferings of the world?
It seems like asking too much of others.
Shi Li shook her head and continued to walk upstairs to her room. She knew that she would not have a chance to rest once she arrived in Qizhou, so the time she had to rest on the way was extremely precious and she could not waste even a single moment.
Fortunately, Wen Ruyu was also a sensible person. Although the servant showed disgust every time, he did not hinder them, and they arrived in Qizhou smoothly after a few days.
As soon as he approached, Shi Li could sense the unusual atmosphere. The city gate was heavily guarded and the patrolling soldiers were all in high spirits, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
All this unusual stuff told her that the situation here might be more serious than she had imagined.
After meeting the official, Shi Li confirmed his guess.
A few days ago, news of a plague broke out in Xifan, and Qizhou began to intensify inspections of people coming and going. However, the plague also has an incubation period. Many people without symptoms arrived in Qizhou smoothly, but began to fall ill a few days later, making it impossible to prevent.
"Fortunately, the situation is relatively stable now. All the infected people are locked up at home and no one is walking around." The officials responded appropriately, and Qizhou City is now relatively safe.
But Shili is not only concerned about Qizhou City.
"What's the current situation in Xifan?" She listened patiently to the official's words and asked the question that concerned her most.
Wen Ruyu had been standing quietly by the side, glancing over silently without saying a word.
This time he entered the palace to see the emperor and took out his family's medical book. He was indeed there for Shi Li.
Smart people can see that the emperor values Shi Li and intends to train her to become the empress. So even a noble family would want to occupy a place in the court.
Wen Ruyu is the most promising chess piece nominated by the family.
