To Fu Hengyue, the prince's praise sounded like a naked threat.
I originally thought that no matter how outstanding that woman was, she was only capable of deceiving a fool like my brother.
But I didn't expect that even the prince was moved.
“The prince is very interested in Miss Shen?”
She looked towards the prince with a gentle gaze and a tone that was somewhat resentful. Fu Hengyue was good-looking to begin with, her looks surpassing most women in the capital, but she just didn't like to please others on a daily basis.
But in the eyes of the prince at this moment, she seemed somewhat lovable.
The prince stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, "Yue'er, are you jealous when you say that?"
Fu Hengyue shook her head. "It's just that I see that Miss Shen has captured the heart of the prince and made my brother unable to forget her. Now even the crown prince is a little concerned about her. I am curious about her extraordinary qualities. I also want to learn from her."
"You are you, you don't have to imitate others."
The prince smiled and pulled her into his arms, trying to calm her somewhat restless mind.
But his ugly heart was filled with greed, and he even wanted to take Shen Yuerong for himself right now.
…
The second day.
Shen Yuerong looked at the prince who suddenly came to visit and she began to back off. Chi Mu was busy today and did not stay at the Shen family. After spending several times together before, she also knew that the prince was not a good person.
"I haven't seen Miss Shen for many days. I wonder if Miss Shen is doing well."
Shen Yuerong. She didn't know what the person in front of her wanted to do for her.
But after all, their statuses were different, so he dared not say a word, and could only be subtle with him.
"Everything is fine."
She sat in her seat, somewhat unwilling to pay attention.
The prince clapped his hands, and someone came in from outside, carrying two large boxes of things.
"What does this mean?"
Shen Yuerong looked at the prince with some doubts. If she couldn't persuade him with words, she would bribe him with money.
But these were far less than the silver the prince had previously dug out from the Shen family, not to mention Shen Yuerong. A prince has never been chosen.
"The previous incident with the Shen family was a misunderstanding. It's time for me to give you some compensation. I hope you won't take it too seriously."
Shen Yuerong looked at the two mahogany boxes placed in the courtyard and saw that there were at least a hundred taels of silver in them.
"Your Highness, you are joking. If the king wants his subjects to die, they have to die. Moreover, as long as the money is used for the innocent people in Jiangnan, it is good. I don't think the money is lost."
If that money could provide a shelter for those innocent people in Jiangnan, Shen Yuerong would naturally not feel that it was a waste.
"At the beginning, I was indeed too busy for the people in Jiangnan, and I could never get the money that Your Majesty wanted, so I deceived you and several people from the Chamber of Commerce. I think everyone is doing things for the people. Miss Shen should be able to forgive my impulsive behavior, right?"
The prince's expression was so fake that Shen Yuerong felt that there was something wrong with it.
However, he had never taken the initiative to break up with her. If she spoke up, he would be accused of some crime that he could not bear.
"Your Highness, you have your own plans for everything you do, so you don't have to get along with a woman like me who is not presentable. Moreover, I have already handed over everything in the Shen family to my shopkeeper."
"Speaking of this, I heard from Yue'er that the Shen family's five major shops were built by you yourself, and you have been working hard to pave the way for them over the years. How come you haven't put much effort into these shops since you divorced my brother-in-law?"
Shen Yuerong looked at him for a long time before she started to explain.
"I have never liked business. I am not very good at it, either in the past or now. Instead, I learned medical skills from my father, but now they are useless. That's why I want to go back to Jiangnan with him, so that I can help the people who were injured by the flood in Jiangnan."
“If Miss Shen hadn’t said it, I would have almost forgotten that Miss Shen is the descendant of a miracle doctor.”
Shen Yuerong has never faced the world as the descendant of a miracle doctor, not to mention that her past glory has long passed. Even if it is brought up again, no one can tell whether it will bring glory or harm.
"Yes, so now I just leave some herbs in my own small yard and prepare some medicine for the people around me, which can be regarded as a way to kill these boring days."
"Speaking of preparing medicine, I heard that you have already gone to see the Empress Dowager. I can see that the Empress Dowager is now terminally ill?"
"The Queen Mother is seriously ill?"
Perhaps Da Ri had other hidden secrets in his mind, and Shen Yuerong did not pay much attention to the Empress Dowager's expression, nor did she notice that the Empress Dowager was in poor health.
"The medical records submitted by the Imperial Hospital a few days ago emphasized that the Queen Mother was ill. However, both I and Your Majesty have specially asked many people to see her, but in the end, we could not find out the reason. I wonder if Miss Shen could come and take this trip."
Shen Yuerong subconsciously felt that the Empress Dowager knew the inside story of some things. If the Empress Dowager died, all these things would be gone with her death and would never have the chance to see the light of day again.
"I can, but...I'm afraid the palace won't believe in my medical skills."
If the Empress Dowager still believed in the Shen family, she would have told them about this matter on the day they met, and Shen Yuerong would naturally treat him on the spot.
The prince sighed, "You must think that the Queen Mother doesn't believe you because she didn't tell you that you were ill when you went to see her that day. In fact, the Queen Mother has never known about this. As she is getting older, she doesn't want her to know that she is ill."
As people get older, they always feel some discomfort in their bodies.
The Emperor and the Empress were afraid that the Empress Dowager would hide her illness and avoid medical treatment, so they never told her about this.
Shen Yuerong sighed, after all, she couldn't bear to watch someone being taken away by the disease while trying to save someone.
"I can treat the Queen Mother, but if I plan to do it, then the Queen Mother must know about it. You might as well discuss it with the Emperor and the Queen first, so as not to disrupt your plans because of me."
"As long as Miss Shen is willing to agree, I will speak to His Majesty and the Queen on your behalf."
Shen Yuerong agreed.
night.
Chi Mu hurried over, probably knowing what happened in the morning.
"You promised the prince?"
Shen Yuerong nodded. The Queen had treated her quite well when she was young, and the Shen family was very kind to her. Shen Yuerong had no reason to refuse directly.
