Zhao Heng opened his heavy eyelids from his sick coma and saw the woman in front of him as if in a dream.

"Book meaning..."

There was surprise in his voice. He just thought that God had mercy on him and let him see his wife for the last time before he died.

During this period of time, he has witnessed too many separations and deaths.

Unfortunately, he himself was dying of illness, and his only regret was that he was not able to return safely to his wife.

Shen Shuyi helped him sit up, “It’s me, take the medicine first.”

Zhao Heng realized that this was not a dream, and quickly stepped back, covered his mouth and nose, turned his back to her, and said, "Shuyi, leave quickly!"

"He Ya!"

"Come in and send the princess back."

He was afraid of passing his illness to his wife.

Shen Shuyi, however, held his hand tightly and calmed him down, "Yanzhi, I'm fine. I already have a way to treat the epidemic."

"Drink the medicine first."

Zhao Heng was still worried, "Shuyi, please go away. I will drink the medicine myself."

Shen Shuyi couldn't persuade him, so she had to hand him over and stood up and took two steps away from the bed, but she kept looking at Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng drank the medicine in a hurry, and the medicine flowed down the corners of his lips.

Shen Shuyi picked up the handkerchief and walked over to wipe the medicine off his lips, then put the bowl away, sat down and hugged him.

She buried her head in Zhao Heng's chest, choking with tears, "My Lord, please don't push me away again. Even if there is no antidote, I am willing to live and die with you."

Zhao Heng's heart skipped a beat and his eyes turned red.

He knew Shuyi's true love for him, but he never thought she would be so selfless and pure and sincere.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

Zhao Heng hugged her tightly in his arms. He must have done something good in his previous life, otherwise how could he be so lucky to meet her in this life.

Shen Shuyi looked at the man who fell asleep after the drug took effect after the great sorrow and joy. She lowered her head and kissed him lightly on the forehead before leaving.

After eating something, she immediately went to the epidemic camp. When collecting funds at the Da Ci'en Temple, many noble ladies in Chang'an also participated. She pawned the jewelry she raised and exchanged them for silver notes to buy a large amount of grain and transported it to Qingzhou Prefecture.

In addition to providing porridge, they also distributed food to some elderly widows and widowers, and implemented a system of work-for-relief for those with labor force. Soon, the disaster relief work in Qingzhou Prefecture became more organized.

The epidemic was under control and everyone's attention was on Shen Shuyi.

A little girl tilted her head up to peek at her and asked the adults around her, "Mom, is she a fairy? She is so beautiful."

"I heard it was the Princess of Su."

"The prince and princess are both god-like figures. If it weren't for them, we..."

Shen Shuyi led the soldiers on patrol and called on the imperial doctors to bandage and treat the injured victims, and she also did it herself.

This scene was seen by everyone.

In the evening, Shen Shuyi returned to the post house where Zhao Heng lived.

Zhao Heng had just woken up after his fever subsided. He sat up suddenly and looked around.

Shen Shuyi pushed the door open and came in. Seeing that he was about to get up, he quickly pushed him down, “Don’t move around. Aren’t you afraid of fainting if you get up so quickly?”

Zhao Heng said nothing, just held her hand and held her in his arms, but soon he separated from her awkwardly.

"Sorry Shuyi, I haven't showered yet."

Shen Shuyi laughed out loud, "It doesn't matter." She blocked her sense of smell anyway.

"You have to get well completely before you can wash your hair and take a bath, otherwise the condition will recur."

Zhao Heng felt a lot lighter and his body had recovered, but he was still a little weak.

"I feel much better now. What's going on with the book?"

"The disease has been brought under control. Those who have recovered have been taken out of the epidemic camp and are being well housed. Don't worry."

"It's just..." Shen Shuyi brought the porridge that had been cooled to a suitable temperature to him, "It's just that the local officials and the imperial physician were curious about my prescription, and I just said it was a dream sent by the Bodhisattva."

"By the way, Your Majesty, I found limestone in the lake on the outskirts of the city."

"Limestone?" Zhao Heng asked puzzledly.

Shen Shuyi explained, “It’s also called limestone, and it can be used to make cement for building dams.”

"Your Highness, maybe you don't understand at the moment, but when you are well, we will go and make cement together, and then build the strongest dam. In the next few years, we won't have to worry about the dam breaking due to heavy rains!"

Zhao Heng hugged her tightly, unable to suppress his excitement, "Shuyi, how come you know so much? Are you a fairy from heaven?"

Shen Shuyi smiled and shook his head.

Although she was not a fairy, she came for him.

Shen Shuyi did not tell Zhao Heng that she was pregnant, for fear that he would be distracted and have an accident. She was even more afraid that he would insist on sending her back to the palace and not let her worry.

It was the critical moment for the reconstruction of Qingzhou Prefecture. She had to successfully produce cement so that she could leave this place with Zhao Heng with peace of mind.

For the following period of time, after Zhao Heng recovered from his illness, he immediately devoted himself to disaster relief work, going out early and returning late every day.

Shen Shuyi wrote down the recipe for making cement and gave it to him, and also gave some suggestions on building the dam. Zhao Heng was amazed. When other officials learned that this was the princess's idea, they were all shocked and admired the princess to the extreme.

The weather was getting hotter day by day. The conditions here were no better than those in Chang'an. There was ice stored in the palace to cool off. Chen Shuyi cooked sour plum soup and hung it in the well to keep it chilled. She also made some smashed cucumbers by herself, which Zhao Heng would be able to eat when he came back in the evening.

After dinner, the couple took showers separately. Shen Shuyi went back to her room first, made the bed and lay down. After she became pregnant, she became more and more sleepy.

Zhao Heng got on the bed, held her in his arms, and gently stroked her long hair.

Shen Shuyi thought that he was so tired from working during the day that he would not have anything to think about at night, but she did not expect that this man would hug her tightly, with his hot palms wandering around wantonly.

Shen Shuyi hurriedly crawled forward, Zhao Heng grabbed her waist and whispered in her ear from behind: "Don't move, you'll be hot again soon."

After saying that, he kissed her ear.

"Yiyi, it's been a long time since we last met..."

"Can I?"

Chen Shu realized that he had not had a good rest in Qingzhou Prefecture since he left Chang'an. He was worried every day that the flood would break down the city walls and drown the victims. His heart softened.

She stroked Zhao Heng's thin face, "Then...be gentle..."

Zhao Heng lowered his head and placed small kisses on her collarbone, his voice full of desire.

"It's all up to the princess."

The two of them kissed passionately on the couch. Zhao Heng loved her charming and tearful look, and he liked listening to her voice even more.

Chen Shuyi opened her watery eyes and looked at Zhao Heng on her body. Her lover's jade-like face flushed, and his eyes, which were usually as gentle as jade, were full of desire for her, which made her feel a sense of satisfaction from body to mind.

Zhao Heng sighed with pleasure, hugged her tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Shuyi, I love you so much."

"I miss you so much." He buried his head in Shen Shuyi's neck, kissing her and saying, "I miss you every day since I left Chang'an."

Shen Shuyi whispered softly, “I miss you too.”

She could feel his strong heartbeat, which was transmitted to her as he came close to her again and again, and her heart also beat rapidly.

Zhao Heng stared at her cherry lips and experienced the ultimate pleasure of being away from home for a long time.
