Chapter 1557: Will the Princess Still Love Me When She Comes Back?
Wen Ruyu admires her?
This is the most ridiculous and absurd sentence Shi Li has heard this year.
Looking at the elegant and noble young man in front of him, Shi Li couldn't help but sneer and asked him, "Why do you think I would agree to such a ridiculous thing?"
"Why is your highness angry?"
Wen Ruyu tilted her head, frowning slightly, as if she didn't understand. "I was born in the Wen family of Jinghe. No matter my family background or my talent, I am not a disgrace to Your Highness. Moreover, I am willing to marry into your family, and I can assist Your Highness in the future..."
"Get out." Shi Li felt that there was really nothing to say to someone with completely different values, so she just drove him away.
Wen Ruyu was driven away, but she did not feel embarrassed. She nodded and said, "If Your Highness feels embarrassed, it is fine. You can wait for Your Highness to figure it out slowly. But Your Highness, the plague in Xifan cannot wait for anyone."
The last words he said hurt Shi Li's nerves which had become somewhat fragile in recent days.
Shi Li held back until Wen Ruyu walked out, then grabbed the teacup next to him and was about to smash it to the ground. His hand was already raised, but he put it back.
This method of venting emotions is extremely useless.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and couldn't help but start to worry about Mingshi. At this time, she didn't write to Mingshi, even if she didn't cause trouble. Otherwise, it would be easier to get infected with the plague if she went back and forth.
The best way to resolve the crisis right now is to find a cure for the plague.
Shi Li didn't believe that apart from the medical books in Wen Ruyu's hands, so many doctors really had no way to treat the disease.
Two days passed and there was no good news from the doctor. Instead, bad news came one after another.
The situation in Xifan Fuzheng was very bad, and some refugees who escaped from Xifan actually brought the plague to Qizhou City.
Wen Ruyu appeared in front of Shi Li again at this time, still dignified and noble.
"Your Highness, are you really unwilling to consider me?" He said in a calm tone, as if he was unaware of the dire situation outside.
Shi Li looked at him expressionlessly, "Are you forcing me?"
"Of course not. But I don't understand, Your Highness has been taught by His Majesty for many years, how could you be so ignorant of weighing the pros and cons?" Wen Ruyu shook his head and asked very naturally.
"Then do you know how many people are suffering from the plague outside now?"
Just like he didn't understand Shi Li, Shi Li didn't understand him either. He had a life-saving medical book in his hand, but he was unwilling to save people from danger.
Wen Ruyu's answer was sincere and cruel. "Your Highness, this kind of thing has happened in every dynasty. It's normal. Your Highness is a princess, or even the future crown prince. How can you be so soft-hearted?"
In Wen Ruyu's eyes, thousands and tens of thousands of lives were just pawns used in gambling and to achieve his own goals. Shi Li would probably never be able to accept such cold-bloodedness of a superior in her entire life.
Resisting the urge to slap the man to death, Shi Li drove him out again. Wen Ruyu still walked away naturally, thinking that Shi Li would come back to him sooner or later.
At this time, Xifan Fuzheng was still playing power games.
He had been lying in bed for three days and three nights, but he still asked his confidants to keep a close eye on the Son of God every day, for fear that he would take the opportunity to do anything to seize power.
When he heard from Xinfu that the Son of God was about to leave the palace again, Fu Zheng even gave a direct order, "Let the Son of God stay in the palace and not go anywhere."
He was really afraid that the Son of God would go out and collude with others and take away the power he had worked so hard to grasp.
The confidant stood far away behind the curtain, but due to the intimidation from Fu Zheng over the years, he could only nod and agree.
A plague has killed many people in Xifan.
Now, the impact has gradually spread to Qizhou City.
No one knew that the Tenth Prince had already approached Qizhou City with the medicinal herbs that Shi Li had previously stockpiled, and he also met an old friend outside the city.
