Chapter 229 Ripped Face
A strong sense of oppression came over her, and Shen Ruzhou subconsciously wanted to retreat, but her back was already pressed against the wall of the carriage, and there was no way she could retreat.
Seeing that breathtakingly beautiful face approaching step by step, Shen Ruzhou suddenly stretched out his hand to block it in front of him.
"Prince Regent, it is better to stay away from me. If I am already infected with the disease, you will be infected if you are so close to me."
This was of course an excuse. She didn't know what he wanted to do when he suddenly approached her, and she felt inexplicably flustered.
"Then it's infectious." Bei Xiuyan grabbed her wrist and pressed it down. His handsome face stopped less than a foot in front of Shen Ruzhou. He locked eyes with her tightly, "Anyway, you can cure it." ,Is not it?"
"As soon as the plague appeared, you thought of a treatment method and even bought herbs early. It was as if you had expected the plague to come and had already prepared a response."
Shen Ruzhou looked into his deep eyes. It was clear that his words were gentle, but she felt sharp inexplicably, and a wave of anxiety arose in her heart. His slender wrist was grasped by him, breaking the defense between men and women without struggling.
"Before there was a shortage of medicine on the front lines, you were able to come up with a large amount of medicine immediately. This time around the famine, you also stocked up on food in advance."
Bei Xiuyan stared at the woman's beautiful features without moving, his voice was cold.
"Why are you always able to deal with it calmly this time, as if you can predict the future?"
Shen Ruzhou Qiang looked at Bei Xiuyan calmly, her eyes were as clear and calm as autumn water. She smiled and asked, "Does the Regent doubt my intentions?"
Bei Xiuyan's eyes were deep, his thin lips pursed in a sharp arc, and he said coldly: "Although your intentions are good, you seem to have many secrets in your body, which are unpredictable."
Shen Ruzhou looked at his flawless face and had to admit that Bei Xiuyan was really smart and had very keen insight. These precautions had aroused his suspicion.
It had been so long since she had been reborn, and even if she said she had seen her previous life, no one would doubt her transformation. He was the first one, and he was still the person she had the least interactions with in her previous life.
But even if she said she was reborn, he wouldn't believe her.
After Shen Ruzhou thought about it, his heart suddenly calmed down. He casually raised his hand to tuck his hair behind his ears, sighed, and started to pretend.
"The regent is too worried. How can I have the ability to predict the future?"
"I heard from my father and brother before that medicine is in short supply on the battlefield. This time my father and brother went to the battlefield. I was worried that they would be injured and would not have medicine, so I made preparations in advance."
Shen Ruzhou's eyes were very calm, even innocent, "As for the medicinal herbs this time, it's because I usually like to tinker with medicinal herbs, so I bought a lot of them."
After listening to Shen Ruzhou's explanation, Bei Xiuyan's expression seemed to relax a little, and the strength of the big palm holding his wrist was reduced a bit. The warmth in the palm gently wrapped the tender skin, but did not let go.
Shen Ruzhou knew that he was still doubtful and continued: "If I can really predict the future, then I can avoid the war, and my father and brother will not have to go to the battlefield. Moreover, I will not be entangled with Xiao Chenyan. In the beginning, I won’t marry him.”
Hearing the last sentence, Bei Xiuyan's deep eyes seemed to have a flash of dark light, and in a blink of an eye, he returned to indifference.
The coldness in the corners of the man's delicate eyes and brows had receded. He glanced at Shen Ruzhou and let go of his hand.
Shen Ruzhou glanced at his face and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He retracted his hand and rubbed it gently. He squeezed it, and there were a few red marks on her thin white wrist.
If she hadn't made it right just now, he wouldn't have hit her, right?
"In addition to the famine, I would also like to remind you to be more careful in your actions recently." Beixiu Yan changed the topic, his tone was cold and somewhat serious.
"The competition between King Wu Cheng and King Yu is about to begin. Try not to get involved, so as not to harm Chi Yu."
Shen Ruzhou gently held his wrist, and there was a hint of joy in his lowered eyes.
Are they going to officially start fighting for the throne?This is good news. It seems that the last palace banquet successfully aroused Xiao Jingzhan's desire to fight, and he will become Xiao Chenyan's enemy!
Xiao Jingzhan is a mediocre person. In his previous life, Xiao Jingzhan did not pay attention to Xiao Chenyan, the unpopular emperor's younger brother, and did not regard him as his opponent.
Later, Xiao Chenyan suppressed the plague, made great achievements, and suddenly won the emperor's heart. After that, he made progress step by step. Xiao Jingzhan tried to deal with Xiao Chenyan again, but it was too late and he was unable to do what he wanted.
In this life, Xiao Chenyan may not be able to deal with the plague as smoothly as he did in his previous life. Now he is even too sick to get out of bed, but Xiao Jingzhan can make things difficult for him.
As long as Xiao Chenyan doesn't go his way, Shen Ruzhou will be happy.
Shen Ruzhou suppressed the smile on his lips, nodded to Bei Xiuyan and said, "Thank you, Prince Regent, for reminding me. I understand."
Bei Xiuyan looked at her, his expression of concern reflected in his unimpressed, even ruthless, indifferent eyes.
"Previously, King Yu came to me and expressed his intention to help in this famine. Now that the crown prince has not been decided, he wants to capture the hearts of the people, please the emperor, and win the position of crown prince in one fell swoop."
"The fight for the throne has always been a bloody storm, and countless people will be involved. You are now Princess Wucheng, and you will be involved whether you like it or not. Prince Yu will target you, so you must be prepared."
Shen Ruzhou smiled softly, his voice soft but firm.
"Although I am Princess Wucheng now, my feelings for Li will not change. Xiao Chenyan and I are not the same person. I will not help him no matter what. As for Prince Yu, Xiao Chenyan's enemy is my friend. .”
"If I can turn the situation around, I will never become a victim of the heir apparent."
In the previous life, Xiao Jingzhan and Xiao Chenyan had a fierce fight. As the princess who loved Xiao Chenyan deeply, she stood firmly on Xiao Chenyan's side and was indeed targeted by Xiao Jingzhan.
Moreover, Xiao Jingzhan regarded Xiao Chenyan as a thorn in his side and frequently attacked her. With Mu Wanqing fanning the flames, she really suffered a lot at the hands of the couple.
But in this life, she wished that Xiao Jingzhan and Xiao Chenyan were hostile. The more fierce the two people fought, the better. It was best for both of them to lose and let Beixiu Yunyan gain.
Bei Xiuyan saw that she was really happy. He raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his thin lips slightly.
"You're good to know."
Shen Ruzhou said "hmm" and looked at Bei Xiuyan with a softer look.
Unexpectedly, Beixiu Yan came to remind her that he was such a good person. It was so worry-free to have such a partner.
"Also," Bei Xiuyan added, "Princess Jianing and the eldest princess are now at loggerheads after the liver transplant."
Shen Ruzhou had expected this.
With Jianing's temperament, it's strange that he could bear it when his own mother forced him to have a liver transplant.
Thinking about how Xiao Jinxi came to trouble her because of Jianing at first, but now she has become an enemy of her own daughter, I don't know how she feels.
She was so happy to hear it, Shen Ruzhou sneered in his heart, and sighed in a decent manner: "That's really a pity..."
