Chapter 545 Extra - Respect yourself
Ye Zhiyuan paused for a moment, his expression still solemn: "Later, after I finish what I'm doing here, I'll take you back. You should find a place to stay quietly for now."
"I'm not going back." Chen Shi stiffened her neck. "I'm already in the epidemic area, and the palace won't let me in. I just want to stay here and make some contributions!"
"What can you do? You don't know anything about medicine!"
"Then why don't you understand? How could you be here?"
"I..." Ye Zhiyuan opened his mouth, "Then I'll take you to the Crown Prince's residence. We can always get in there."
"I'm not going!" Chen Shi grabbed Ye Zhiyuan's arm and shook it. "I just want to fight alongside you, why can't I?"
Ye Zhiyuan withdrew his arm without making a sound, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said, "Your Highness, please have some self-respect."
Chen Shi frowned: "We'll be husband and wife soon... can you not be so formal?"
Ye Zhiyuan paused for a moment, Shu Tong's face flashing through his mind. He gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Not yet."
"It'll be soon..." Chen Shi pouted, "Didn't you say you liked me in front of my brother..."
Ye Zhiyuan's feelings at this moment were truly complicated, filled with frustration and surprise: "You...you are a woman, you should have some self-respect."
"I'm not some ordinary girl. With the country in crisis, I'm going to stand with you through thick and thin." Chen Shi looked up at him. "I'm not leaving. Wherever you are, I'll be there!"
Ye Zhiyuan was speechless for a moment, his shock only growing stronger.
In his mind, girls were all pampered and spoiled, especially Chen Shigui, who was a princess.
He really found it hard to believe that the palace maid who fearlessly fought the thieves with a knife in the alley was actually the most favored little princess of the Wu Dynasty.
It seems that in his mind, Shu Tong is the one with a unique soul.
At least for now, Ye Zhiyuan doesn't think Chen Shi is unique. His understanding of her is more that she is spoiled, willful, and ignorant of her own limitations.
At such a critical moment, she disguised herself as a palace servant to leave the palace and even sneaked into a medical clinic.
If the emperor found out, wouldn't he launch a massive search? Wouldn't that just cause more trouble?
Just as the two were at an impasse, a person came around the corner at the end of the road. He was wearing the clinic's uniform white work clothes and walked hurriedly toward Ye Zhiyuan.
Upon seeing the person's appearance clearly, Ye Zhiyuan's lips immediately curled up.
Shu Tong quickly came over and handed a list to Ye Zhiyuan: "This list shows the medicinal materials that the clinic is short of. We need to go to the supplies management office to get them as soon as possible. Please send someone to get them quickly, Young Master Ye."
"Okay." Ye Zhiyuan carefully put the form away and stuffed it into his pocket. "I'll go right away."
He stopped in his tracks as he was about to leave and looked at Chen Shi: "Come with me."
Chen Shi naturally saw Shu Tong as well. Surprised, she grabbed Shu Tong's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't want to go back. I want to stay here with you."
Shu Tong then realized that the meek and obedient servant dressed as a palace maid was actually Chen Shi, and was immediately stunned: "Shu..."
"Just call me Ashie."
Shu Tong nodded: "Ashi, why did you come here? It's dangerous here."
"I know it's dangerous here."
Chen Shi said, word by word, "But you and Brother Ye can stay, so why can't I? Aren't I a member of the Wu Dynasty? Can't I do my part when the country is in trouble?"
