As she stepped out of the room, Madam Yao spoke:
"Princess, just tell us what you need and we'll bring it over."
"Thank you, Madam Yao. I will let you in when needed. Please do not disturb us during the treatment period."
Seeing that everyone had left, Li Xue walked over and sat down by Lord Yao's bedside.
Although Lord Yao was physically weak, he had heard everything that was said. He knew that Li Xue had no medical skills at all, and probably had something to say to him.
Thinking of this, Lord Yao slowly opened his eyes, looked at Li Xue, and said:
"Does the princess have something to say to me?"
"Lord Yao is indeed wise; I do have something to say."
"I am a dying man, so please ask me whatever you have to say, Princess."
Li Xue hesitated for a long time before finally speaking:
"Lord Yao is so ill, why haven't we seen Young Master Yao Jian?"
Lord Yao was taken aback; he hadn't expected Li Xue to ask about his youngest son.
Upon thinking of Yao Jian, Lord Yao couldn't help but shed a tear.
“A year ago, Yao Jian said he was going to visit a friend, but he disappeared after that. I arranged for people to search everywhere, but we couldn’t find him.”
Li Xue nodded and said:
"A year ago, the young prince committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Was Yao Jian missing around that time?"
Lord Yao, who was lying in bed, was startled by Li Xue's question.
Lord Yao was already very weak, and Li Xue's words startled him so much that he almost fainted. He didn't know what Li Xue meant by those words; had she discovered something?
Li Xue realized that speaking to Lord Yao like this was definitely not a good idea; if she wasn't careful, she might scare Lord Yao to death.
Thinking of this, Li Xue stood up, bowed deeply to Lord Yao, and said:
"Lord Yao, there's no need to say anything more. You are a great benefactor to our Li family."
Li Xue's words had a hidden meaning. Lord Yao was an extremely intelligent man, and he already understood the implication of Li Xue's words. However, he could not reveal the truth himself, so he asked:
"Princess, why do you say such things? I do not understand."
“Lord Yao is a man of great righteousness. I already knew about what you did. The young prince told me all of this himself.”
"What? The princess has seen the young prince? Where is he?" Lord Yao was both surprised and delighted.
Because he spoke so abruptly, Lord Yao almost fainted again.
"Lord Yao, please don't get agitated. Just lie down and listen to me slowly."
Currently, the young prince is using the alias Li Guang and lives in Narcissus Village, which is very safe. In the entire Northern Dynasty, only Mr. Fang and I know he lives there.
Then Li Xue began to recount Li Guang's experiences over the past year, from the bandit's den to Narcissus Village, including his recent trip to Jiangnan, all in detail.
After hearing Li Xue's story, Lord Yao could no longer control himself. He sat up in bed and burst into tears.
Li Xue didn't try to comfort him, letting him cry as he wept. After a long time, Lord Yao finally stopped crying.
"I never expected that the young prince would still care about the world and love his country and people even in such adversity."
It seems that everything I did back then was worthwhile. Yao Jian died a worthy death, and it was not a loss at all.
"I can't die now. I must recover my health so that the princess can take me to see the young prince later."
"No problem. Lord Yao is the Grand Minister of Agriculture in the Ministry of Revenue, in charge of agricultural production in the Great Northern Dynasty. Li Guang has planted several thousand acres of land and cultivated a large number of high-yield crops. Lord Yao wants to go and take a look."
"Thank you, Princess, for bringing me such good news. You have completely resolved my inner conflict and saved my life. I am very hungry now and I need to eat something."
"That's great. As long as Lord Yao has an appetite and gets more nutrition, he will recover quickly."
When I came, I brought a packet of tea leaves. These were cultivated by Li Guang. Lord Yao can try them when he is feeling a little better.
"Thank you, Princess. I will get better as soon as possible so I can taste the tea that the young prince has cultivated."
"That's settled then. I'll take my leave now. Lord Yao's illness has been cured, and I'll come to visit him again in a while."
"Lord Yao, you should lie down. I'll have them get you something to eat."
Li Xue walked towards the door, then opened it, revealing a large group of people standing outside.
Li Xue and Lord Yao talked for a long time, and the people outside the door thought that the princess was treating Lord Yao. So much time had passed, and the people outside the door were very anxious.
Finally, the door opened, and Li Xue came out. Everyone looked at her nervously.
"Lord Yao is out of danger, but he is very weak and needs to be carefully recuperated. Start by feeding him some porridge and gradually increase his nutrition. We cannot rush things."
When everyone heard that Lord Yao was out of danger, they found it unbelievable and quickly went inside to surround Lord Yao's bedside.
"How is the master? The princess said you are out of danger."
"Who said I'm alright? Hurry up and get me something to eat. If I don't eat soon, I'm really going to starve to death."
Everyone was overjoyed. The fact that the master wanted to eat meant that his illness had improved, and it seemed that the princess's treatment was effective.
While the Yao family was overjoyed, Zhao Xian was busy in Shuixian Village. According to his plan, he was going to develop more than ten industries and build many workshops.
Just then, Yu Wen arrived at his construction site with Nashi Bai. Zhao Xian, not knowing why Nashi Bai had come, asked:
"Manager Bai, what brings you here? This place is a mess, there's not even a place to sit. I'm so sorry."
Nashbai looked at the scene before him with great excitement, and he said:
"Your Excellency, there's no need for you to be so polite. I've just come to take a look around, and there's nothing important to discuss."
At this moment, Zhao Xian looked at Yu Wen and could clearly see that he had been bought off by Nashbai and was extremely obedient to Nashbai.
Zhao Xian couldn't help but praise Yu Wen, saying that it was truly a waste of his talent that he wasn't an actor.
"Manager Bai, you didn't just come to take a look, did you? Is there something else you need?" Zhao Xian asked.
"Your Excellency is indeed wise. I've come to inquire about when the inn in the village will be built, and why construction has been delayed for so long."
"So that's what Manager Bai was after. Although the inn hasn't started construction yet, it's already attracted the attention of some people. I reckon there are quite a few people who want to invest in this inn."
The village plans to complete all the shops before focusing on building this inn. However, the auction won't take that long; please be patient, Manager Bai.
"So that's how it is. I see that you, Lord Shaofu, are investing so much in construction. Do you have many industries to develop? I'd like to invest in some of them. What do you think, Lord Shaofu?"
“When I invested in a few industries before, many people wanted to invest and take a stake, but this involved some trade secrets, so I did not agree.”
I'm currently preparing to build a workshop. Once completed, more than ten industries will be established here. These industries also involve trade secrets, and there are no plans to collaborate with others at the moment.
