Previously, Wei Xuelin had already approached Beili with sulfur, but received a message from Wei Yinshuang, telling them not to go to Beili for the time being, as a plague called smallpox was spreading in Beili.
Upon hearing of the epidemic, Wei Xuelin naturally dared not enter Beili rashly and temporarily remained within the territory of Da Chu.
He only set off again after Wei Yingshuang sent him another message saying that the epidemic had been brought under control.
Wei Xuelin had barely arrived in Jingqiang when Wei Yinshuang arranged for a royal physician to vaccinate him against smallpox to prevent infection.
After all, the smallpox epidemic in Beili has not completely ended.
Wei Xuelin had barely left the territory of the Great Chu Kingdom when smallpox and other diseases began to appear on the borders of the Great Chu Kingdom, thus he managed to avoid them perfectly.
He didn't know that the Great Chu also had smallpox, but his sister wouldn't harm him, and she had already been infected herself, so he obeyed.
Wei Xuelin was in relatively good health. After being vaccinated against smallpox, he only had a slight fever, which gradually subsided.
Wei Xuelin learned from Wei Yinshuang that the current Lin Wanqing was no longer the Lin Wanqing of the past; she had become a goddess second only to the emperor in the entire Northern Li.
Upon hearing this news, Wei Xuelin fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons.
"Brother, can you take me back? I'll die if I stay in Bei Li any longer." Wei Yingshuang finally saw her brother and told Wei Xuelin everything she had experienced in Bei Li, crying as she spoke. By the time she finished, she was a complete sob.
Seeing this, Wei Xuelin comforted her, saying, "Shuang'er, I see you're doing quite well now. I came to see you, and the King did not stop me."
If Wei Yinshuang was in such a terrible state, how could the Prince Qin possibly allow him to see her?
"Brother, that's because I outwardly submit to Lin Wanqing and can still contact the Wei family, so Wanyan Lie treats me a little better," Wei Yingshuang said indignantly.
"Shuang'er, you are now the Princess Consort of Qin in Bei Li. Even if Bei Li doesn't release you, and even if I bring you back to Da Chu, where can you go? You can't possibly grow old alone."
"Third Brother, I've already thought it through. When you leave, just secretly take me with you in the carriage. When we return to Great Chu, I'll choose a place where no one knows me, buy a courtyard, and keep a few male concubines. Wouldn't that be enough to live comfortably?" Wei Yingshuang stopped crying and told Wei Xuelin her thoughts, her eyes shining.
"Shuang'er, the King isn't stupid. I came to Bei Li and you disappeared. How could he not suspect us? What will the Duke of Dingguo's mansion do when Bei Li demands people from Da Chu? Shuang'er, you've grown up now and can't be willful anymore."
"Now that Lin Wanqing has become the goddess of Bei Li, and you and she are both from Da Chu, with her taking care of you, you should have a good life in Bei Li in the future," Wei Xuelin advised.
Did Lin Wanqing take care of her?
She, a princess of the Great Chu, had actually fallen so low that she needed the care of someone who once fawned over her?
In fact, Wei Yingshuang had already submitted to Lin Wanqing, but now that she saw her brother, her heart began to stir again.
"Third Brother, are you going to give up on me?" Wei Yingshuang asked, somewhat incredulous.
She had been waiting for her family for so long, but Wei Xuelin didn't want to take her back to Da Chu.
"Shuang'er, how could your third brother abandon you? You are still a princess of the Great Chu, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. Prince Qin will not make things too difficult for you because of this. Now that you are married, you must learn to keep your husband's heart so that you can live a good life in the Prince's mansion."
Besides, Shuang'er, Bei Li needs to cooperate with our Duke Dingguo's mansion to purchase sulfur, and Qin Wang wouldn't make things difficult for you.”
Wei Xuelin wouldn't risk taking Wei Yinshuang back. If Bei Li really demanded her back from Da Chu and held her accountable, it would definitely implicate him.
Moreover, Bei Li is currently purchasing sulfur at high prices. With Wei Yingshuang in Bei Li, both sides feel more at ease about this business deal.
