The queen looked at Shen Lingli more and more displeased, and always felt a little uneasy in her heart. Facing the queen's questioning, Shen Lingli also behaved very calmly.
"Shen Lingli is here to meet the Queen. Please don't misunderstand, Queen. I took the initiative to ask Your Majesty to let me serve by your side to atone for my previous mistakes!" Shen Lingli explained.
The queen looked at Shen Lingli with a very strange look in her eyes, "Your Majesty, you must not do this. This woman is vicious and daring. She even dared to assassinate the Third Princess of the Western Regions. I am really worried about keeping such a person by my side. What if she has evil thoughts towards Your Majesty again and endangers Your Majesty's safety?"
Shen Lingli saw that the Queen was very dissatisfied with her, and the Emperor's expression also became a little strange because of the Queen's words. Shen Lingli saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly knelt down and grabbed the corner of the Emperor's clothes, "Your Majesty, I am wronged. I just want to serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly at this moment and wash away my own injustice. I dare not have any bad thoughts about Your Majesty. Please be wise."
Shen Lingli knelt on the ground, looking pitiful and terrified. There was a tremor in her voice, and she sounded really scared.
"Your Majesty, I really know I was wrong. For the sake of the Shen family, I will never dare to have any evil thoughts again. Everything I did before was because I was possessed by the devil. I will definitely change for the better in the future. Please believe me, Your Majesty!" Shen Lingli said to the queen again with an aggrieved look on her face.
In the eyes of the queen, Shen Lingli was like a poisonous snake that might bite back at any time. A poisonous snake is a poisonous snake after all, and it will not change its vicious nature because of the temporary help of the farmer. The queen knew this very well after being in the deep palace for so long, so she was unmoved by Shen Lingli's appearance.
"Your Majesty, please think twice. Shen Lingli has done extremely treasonous things. You must not forgive her just because of her one-sided statement. It will be difficult to convince the people. If the King of the Western Regions knew about this, I'm afraid he would not agree!" The queen was still trying her best to persuade the emperor.
The emperor seemed a little impatient and said coldly to the queen, "Humph, the small Western Region dares to point fingers at me, Li Han. The queen is making a big deal out of nothing. Although Shen Lingli was wrong first, she also took the initiative to admit her mistake. The saints often say that admitting mistakes is the best way to improve. Why not give her a chance!"
"Your Majesty, please take back your order. This girl really cannot be kept!" The queen's woman's intuition told her that Shen Lingli was definitely not an ordinary person.
"That's enough, Queen, you seem to be overstepping your bounds. I've already made up my mind about this matter. You don't need to worry about it anymore. Just go back!"
The emperor's tone was very serious. In the queen's memory, the emperor had not lost his temper with her for a long time, but today he blamed her for defending a guilty woman who had made a serious mistake. The queen was also unhappy and left directly without even bowing to the emperor. Shen Lingli watched the queen and the emperor separate from each other, with a slight smile on her lips, as if she was very satisfied.
Li Han didn't know about Shen Lingli's situation in Li State at the moment. Her mind was full of the plague in the village. Fortunately, the aid sent by the emperor was very timely. Both medicinal materials and food were sufficient to help the villagers survive for a while.
"Don't worry, everyone, please line up. There is enough stuff, so don't worry!" Li Han and his team set up a shed and distributed the relief supplies to the villagers.
Although the plague has not been completely eliminated, it has been basically suppressed with the help of Li Han. The infected villagers have also shown obvious improvement under Li Han's treatment. The villagers have thanked Li Han and the Emperor of Li and praised him highly.
The situation is stable at present, but plague is a dangerous thing that may break out at any time. If it cannot be completely cured, it will not only affect this area. So Li Han is also looking for treatment drugs everywhere and discussing solutions with the imperial doctors in the palace, but the results are not very good.
Although the imperial physicians in the palace were well-read in medical books, the most they could treat were the headaches and fevers of the concubines. They had only heard about things about the plague and had never actually encountered them. Even if they could say something, it was just talk. A group of old fools talked for a long time without any useful information. Li Han was so confused by what he heard.
So Li Han wrote another letter to Shen Yuaner, asking her to find some famous doctors who could treat the plague within the country of Li, but asked her to act with caution. After all, a plague had occurred within the territory of Li. Once this matter spread, it would inevitably cause panic among the people. This was also the reason why Li Han did not ask the emperor to do this.
When Shen Yuan'er learned about it, she was extremely anxious and worried about Li Han's well-being. She was afraid that Li Han's reckless character would cause her to encounter an accident, so she quickly sent people to look for famous doctors, but she only sought medical treatment under the pretext that someone in the mansion was sick.
Fortunately, hard work pays off. Shen Yuaner finally heard that there was a doctor in the mountains who could cure the plague, so Shen Yuaner went alone to seek medicine and successfully got a prescription.
However, the Shen family did not have enough medicinal materials, and the dosage of this medicine was extremely large, so Shen Yuaner went to the palace to find the emperor and handed the prescription to him. The emperor then ordered the Imperial Pharmacy to speed up the production of the medicine, and then the Shen family sent troops to deliver all the produced medicines to Li Han.
"Chen Yuan'er, your actions this time have truly impressed me. You are worthy of being the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. You are as capable as any man. You have the demeanor of General Shen in his past. I will definitely reward you well!"
The emperor was very satisfied with Shen Yuaner's behavior this time. It solved the current urgent problem, which was a great achievement. Because of Shen Lingli's incident before, the emperor had some grudges against the Shen family, but because of this incident, this grudge seemed to be broken, and he also had a new understanding of Shen Yuaner.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is what Yuan'er should do. As a citizen of the Li Kingdom, I will do anything to save the Li Kingdom from disaster!" Shen Yuan'er's eyes were very firm, and the emperor nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"Alright, you've worked hard these past few days. Go back and rest first. I'll take care of the rest!"
Shen Yuan'er bowed and left. As soon as she stepped out of the emperor's study, she saw Shen Lingli. Shen Yuan'er felt strange. Logically, Shen Lingli should still be in the dungeon of Li State waiting for punishment. How could she appear in this deep palace wearing a palace maid's costume?
The more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed. Shen Lingli felt that something was wrong, so she followed curiously, quietly hiding behind, following all the way, wanting to find out what was going on.
