Chapter 143 A sincere heart deserves praise
With Prince Li here, the people of the Shen family automatically kept a low profile.
Everyone will naturally realize that they cannot cause trouble for Shen Yunyue and Fu Xuanheng.
Shen Yunyue and Fu Xuanheng were focused on the Empress Dowager's body and had no time to argue with Prince Li.
After finishing the letter, Shen Yunyue handed it to Fu Xuanheng for review. "How do you think it should be written like this?"
Fu Xuanheng nodded, "Yes. Let's do it this way."
He pinched the jade pendant on his waist.
His eyes flickered as he thought of those people in the capital.
Fu Xuanheng felt that he had to develop his own power in Shihanzhou, otherwise he would still be a fish on the chopping board.
"Shen Yunyue. Please take out your purple ginseng."
He Luxue walked over and stood in front of them, looking down at them.
Shen Yunyue frowned impatiently.
"He Luxue, what are you doing here again? What if I don't give you my purple ginseng?"
He Luxue stared at Shen Yunyue with a venomous gaze, gritting her teeth and saying, "The Empress Dowager's body is not in good condition, so what if you contribute a purple ginseng?"
"Shouldn't it be?"
He Luxue finally moved towards Fu Xuanheng.
Fu Xuanheng kept his head down the whole time, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"It's not your place to say whether it should or shouldn't be."
After a long time, Fu Xuanheng spoke coldly.
He Luxue wanted to do something for Prince Li, so how could she be dismissed by just a few words?
"Cousin, I mean well. You gave me the purple ginseng. If the Empress Dowager is in good health one day,
I will definitely know your filial piety."
She stood there, about to cry, wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Shen Yunyue said it all:
"He Luxue, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will just think it's the purple ginseng sent by Prince Li, right?"
"Shen Yunyue, how can you be so selfish? As long as you can heal the Queen Mother, why bother about who sent it?
Besides, you are not allowed to see the Queen Mother."
She looked at Shen Yunyue in disbelief.
"Prince Li has helped you. Isn't it normal to send it in his name?"
"Cousin, do you care about reputation?"
Shen Yunyue really wanted to open He Luxue's head.
"We don't need his help. This purple ginseng is for Xuan Heng to heal his legs. You don't need to talk nonsense here."
"Good heavens, cousin. Do you think so too?"
He Luxue exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"You only lost two legs. How could you be so selfish as to only think about yourself? How could you be such a person?"
She covered her mouth, as if she had seen something incredible.
Prince Li's people also learned from their previous conversation that Fu Xuanheng had top-grade purple ginseng.
Go close to Prince Li and whisper a few words.
Prince Li looked over here and made eye contact with Fu Xuanheng.
Fu Xuanheng's eyes were cold.
When it fell on He Luxue, it was like ice on turquoise.
"He Luxue, if you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude."
"What do you want?"
He Luxue sneered. She was not afraid of a useless person.
Fu Xuanheng held a stone in his hand and flung it out with a deft flick. The stone landed on her knee.
He Luxue staggered, her knees weakened and she fell to the ground.
Shen Yunyue raised her eyebrows and chuckled:
"Oh, there's no need for such a grand ceremony."
He Luxue gritted her teeth, climbed up, and glared at him.
"Fu Xuanheng, you, a useless person, dare to bully me?"
"If that useless person wants to kill you, it would only take a moment."
"You dare?"
He Luxue deliberately spoke in a harsh voice to get Prince Li's attention.
Shen Yunyue took a step forward and held her tightly.
He made her unable to move, pinched her shoulders with his hands, and kept applying force.
But he smiled and said:
"Miss He is truly filial. She said that kneeling could pray for the Empress Dowager's blessing. We cannot deny her filial piety."
He Luxue remembered.
Shen Yunyue pinned him to the ground again.
Ou Ruoyang beside him hurriedly said, "How long will this last?"
"It's one hour. From now on, you have to kneel for an hour every day. Miss He also said that kneeling for ten days or half a month is enough to show sincerity."
The commotion here alarmed Prince Li and others.
He Luxue wanted to shake her head and explain.
But for some reason, her throat felt like someone was pinching it, and she struggled to get up.
Shen Yunyue increased the force on her shoulder.
Poor thing for her.
I can only kneel lower.
When Prince Li saw this, his brows furrowed slightly.
This woman is sincere, simple, and kind-hearted. She is quite capable of being a concubine.
Having been accustomed to intrigues and deceptions, such a simple and kind-hearted woman fell into his heart like a simple dish of porridge.
"Miss He's sincere heart deserves praise." Prince Li walked over, with a gleam in his eyes.
He Luxue, who originally felt aggrieved, suddenly felt sweet in her heart.
I straightened my back unconsciously.
"I hope the Queen Mother will recover soon. I can only express my gratitude by moving Heaven with my sincerity."
As she spoke, she quietly raised her head.
Make eye contact with Prince Li.
Shen Yunyue let go of He Luxue and returned to Fu Xuanheng.
"One hour every day, that's thoughtful." Prince Li murmured to himself.
He Luxue: .... Please help me subtract this hour.
Unfortunately, Prince Li could not hear her inner monologue.
"Shen Yunyue, shouldn't you kneel with me?"
He Luxue had no choice but to turn to Shen Yunyue. He looked at her eagerly, hoping to force her to be like him.
Shen Yunyue brushed off the non-existent dust on her body.
He raised his eyebrows helplessly and said:
"I have to take care of my husband, so I don't care about those empty formalities."
She sighed again:
"Why don't you kneel for me, Miss? Your sincerity is more effective than ours."
He Luxue: ... "Shen Yunyue, where's your face?"
"Miss He, sincerity is the key to success. Don't be so aggressive."
Shen Yunyue chuckled.
After resting for a while, everyone started on their journey.
Seeing everyone boarding the carriage, Prince Li's face darkened. "My dear officers, you are commoners. Are you going to Shihanzhou in a carriage like this?"
Old Huang was startled, and he stepped forward and bent down to explain:
"To answer the Prince's question, too many people have died along the way.
Now, half of them are dead.
Plus, we didn't have much time, so we explained the situation in Yanling Prefecture and rented a carriage all the way to Shihan Prefecture."
Prince Li twisted the ring in his hand and asked, "Have the higher-ups agreed?"
Old Huang bent his waist even lower.
"In reply to the Prince, there is no reply yet."
It takes a long time to send it back and forth to the capital, and it is not an important matter, so naturally it will not be sent that quickly.
"You fool! How can you take the carriage if you haven't replied yet?"
Prince Li glanced around coldly.
Seeing everyone looking worried, I couldn't help but feel happy.
"Never mind. It seems like your journey wasn't easy, and only half of you died.
Didn’t the Shen family have a new baby? ” Prince Li also heard that the Shen family had given birth on the way, and they had a little boy.
He naturally wouldn't reveal the news.
Otherwise, those censors would think it was an auspicious event.
The emperor will then grant amnesty.
Everyone's faces were filled with excitement, as they also knew that no one in the Shen family had died.
"The Shen family is lucky, we can't compare to them."
Someone snorted:
"Why don't you say that the Shen family is united and works together? You're all like black-eyed chickens, wishing your own people would be the first to suffer misfortune.
"It's true what they said, the killing must have started from within. This family will perish faster, and outsiders can't kill them all in a short time."
The person who spoke was a young daughter-in-law from the Lu family.
He glanced at the others who wanted to bully Shen Yunyue with words, and his lips moved up and down in mockery.
The words spoken are as sharp as a knife.
"Don't think that the Shen family has gained any benefits. Don't blame others for being lucky if you are useless."
Ou Ruoyang changed her usual quiet demeanor and sneered.
Prince Li cast a knife-like gaze on Ou Ruoyang and the others.
With a smile on his lips:
"My cousin is really capable. He got a bunch of women to take the lead."
Fu Xuanheng:……
The hands holding the wheelchair turned pale, and when he was about to say something, he was held down by Shen Yunyue.
"Your Highness is right, and my husband has done well. Everyone knows our difficulties, so they speak up for us."
After a pause, he sneered:
"They can't all be like some relatives, calculating as soon as they come."
"Yingfeng, quickly push Xuanheng onto the carriage."
"yes."
Prince Li looked at these people coldly. Thinking of the purple ginseng in their hands, his sinister eyes changed.
There was a hint of calculation in my mind.
If you want to use purple ginseng to find a miracle doctor, it depends on whether you have the opportunity?
Prince Li looked at Old Huang with a sinister look, "Give the order. Stay in Xiaogou Town tonight."
Old Huang didn't dare to look up, "Yes."
Scarface Peng had a gloomy face, his complexion was terribly dark.
The whip in his hand whirred.
"Hurry up. We'll rest in Xiaogou Town tonight."
He knew that Prince Li's decision to rest in Xiaogou Town must be a plan of his own.
Scarface Peng glanced towards the Shen family, a flicker of pity in his eyes. He gripped the whip tighter.
"Hurry up! If you make me angry, you will suffer the consequences."
