Chapter 1560: Will the Princess Still Love Me When She Comes Back?
Dr. Sun’s miraculous medicine can cure all diseases.
After Xifan Fuzheng and Mingshi drank the medicine, they recovered a lot in a few hours.
Because of what was written in the letter, Xifan Fuzheng did not dare to delay for a moment. As soon as he was able to get up, he went to the gray-roofed palace in person to meet Mingshi.
"Your Excellency Son of God." Compared to the previous times when he was cold and defensive, this time Xifan Fu Zheng treated Ming Shi with great respect and courtesy.
Ming Shi didn't know what he was going to do next, so he just nodded and waited quietly for what was to come.
There was no one else around, so Xifan Fuzheng didn't need to pretend. He handed Shi Li's letter to Mingshi with a smile, and then said to him: "Sir, you always say that you love the people of Xifan. Now, are you willing to make sacrifices for Xifan?"
Mingshi didn't understand what was going on. He took the letter and looked at it. His indifferent expression gradually changed.
The paper was written in the beautiful font that he was most familiar with, but the words written on it were cold and hard text that he was not familiar with.
The letter stated that Xifan was only given one day, and if he was willing to send the Son of God to the Yu Dynasty as a hostage, the princess would give him the prescription for treating the plague and ten boxes of medicinal materials.
Shi Li wants him to go to the Yu Dynasty as a hostage?
Mingshi held the letter in his hand and read it several times before he understood the meaning of every word in the letter. His eyes fell on the four words "one day only" and he couldn't move his eyes away for a long time.
"Will he think I'm forcing Xifan?"
After sending the letter, Shi Li felt quite restless in the study.
The one-day deadline was not for Xifan Fuzheng, but for herself. By tomorrow, even if Xifan Fuzheng disagreed, she would send the prescription to Xifan.
After all, those suffering from the plague there were all living lives. She couldn't bear it, and Mingshi must be even more unwilling to bear it.
"I hope that unfortunate Fu Zheng will be more sensible and not cause trouble for me."
Shi Li clenched her fists and placed them on the table, looking at the sky outside the window. She didn't have much confidence in Fu Zheng, who only knew how to monopolize power, but she thought that he would be willing to send Ming Shi away out of selfishness.
What she was betting on was Xifan Fuzheng's selfish motives.
Then, she made the right bet.
Xifan Fuzheng saw that Mingshi remained silent for a long time and could not help but sneer at him.
"Sir Son of God, weren't those words you said before just empty words? Now, if you sacrifice yourself, you can save countless people in Xifan. Are you unwilling to do that?"
Ming Shi came back to his senses after hearing his sharp words, shook his head, and slowly stood up.
"No, arrange it now and send me there."
After he said this, Xifan Fuzheng was finally stunned.
I thought Mingshi would agree, but I didn't expect him to be so decisive, even... a little impatient?
He had always known that Mingshi and Shili occasionally exchanged letters, but judging by himself, he never thought that Shili's actions were all for Mingshi.
She had been a hostage in Xifan for three years, and now, in order to wash away the shame, she wanted the Son of God to be a hostage as well.
A summer insect cannot talk about ice, Xifan Fu Zheng will never understand.
Although Ming Shi agreed, Xifan Fu Zheng still couldn't say it so directly to the public. Even though the Son of God didn't have any real power in Xifan, he had always been Xifan's belief. The people of Xifan would never accept sending him to the Yu Dynasty as a hostage.
After thinking for a long time, Xifan Fuzheng finally came up with a plausible reason.
He announced to the public that in order to express his gratitude to the Princess of Yu Dynasty for her help, the Son of God was willing to go to Yu Dynasty in person to pray for the princess.
As expected of him, this statement not only concealed the truth, but also made the people of Xifan burst into tears of gratitude towards the Son of God.
When the news reached Li's ears, the heart that had been hanging in the air was finally at ease.
He leaned back in the chair tiredly, staring outside in a daze, and suddenly smiled.
After laughing for a while, the corners of her eyes turned red again.
Finally, she did it.
I was able to see him and lead him out of the prison that imprisoned him.
On the morning of the second day, Ming Shi was brought here by Xifan in a carriage, followed by four attendants in red.
Shi Li did not hesitate any more and stood on the city wall of Qizhou early, staring into the distance intently.
The city was peaceful and the Tenth Prince also came over and asked in confusion, "Lili, what do you want an old man for? I heard that there are a lot of gems in Xifan. It would be great if we could let them exchange the gems for medicinal herbs!"
"Shut up." Shi Li turned around and glared at him. She didn't want to explain too much. Anyway, after a while, the Tenth Prince would know what stupid things he had just said.
As she expected, Ming Shi came on foot from afar, not wearing formal red clothes, but ordinary casual gray clothes.
But it reminded Shi Li of the scene when they first met.
She walked down the tower directly, and heard the Tenth Prince's surprised and vague voice behind her -
"That's the Son of God?!"
