Chapter 236 Shameless
Qin Ming was shocked and lowered his head in response: "Yes, I will go right now."
He hurriedly led people out and informed the soldiers who distributed the herbs.
For a time, the name Shen Ruzhou became famous among the people. When everyone mentioned her, they were full of praises, saying that she was a miracle doctor and that she loved the people like a son.
The reputation of Beixiuyan has also improved somewhat. After all, the person who dispensed the medicinal herbs is a soldier of the Regent's Palace. Some people even think that although the Regent is ruthless and does not seem to be a good person, he can take into account the life and death of the people and do things for the people. A good thing is a good official.
The two names were entangled together, making them more ambiguous.
But all this is just the beginning.
Although the plague was under control, famine became severe.
I don’t know who took advantage of the chaos to secretly pass on the news.
"Have you heard? People are dying in the town outside the city! They're starving to death!"
"Now they don't let us leave the city because they are afraid that we will find out. So what if we have medicine now? The government can't provide food. We have recovered but have nothing to eat. Isn't it the same as death?"
"The Prince Regent and Princess Wu Cheng will not let this happen, right?"
"Who knows, they can't even protect themselves!"
For a time, this conversation spread throughout many cities, and people were panicked. The people were so frightened that they knelt down and begged the soldiers delivering medicine to save them.
The soldiers had no choice but to ask for instructions from Beixiu Banquet.
When Beixiu Yan heard this, his handsome face remained unchanged, his eyes were cold, and his slender fingers flipped through the documents submitted from various places.
"Use unscrupulous means to appease the people first."
At this time, the General's Mansion.
Shen Ruzhou hurried back home and headed towards her grandmother's house. She saw her grandma and Shen Rulan on the road. She was happy and was about to walk towards them when she suddenly heard her grandma's distressed voice.
"Miss Rulan, during this period, you have been taking care of the old lady and doing your best. It is all thanks to you that the old lady's health has improved."
Shen Rulan's voice was gentle, "Mom, I'm so impressed. What I did is insignificant. My grandmother is healthy, so my father and brother won't have to worry."
"And Ru Zhou, she is the youngest and is not in good health. It will be very difficult to treat the epidemic. She must not be distracted by this."
Shen Ruzhou's eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly stopped and listened.
Mammy looked at Shen Rulan distressedly, "Miss Rulan is gentle and has a strong sense of responsibility. If Miss Rumeng were half, no, one-third as good as you, she wouldn't be so chilling."
"That is to say, the old lady was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see the second room starving to death, so she gave half of the food left by the princess to the second room. Otherwise, she could always teach them a lesson."
In his words, his dissatisfaction with the second room had reached its extreme.
Shen Rumeng sighed, "We are always connected by blood. If my father were here and knew that something happened to my second uncle's house and there was no rice to cook, he would also lend a helping hand, let alone my grandmother."
Shen Ruzhou just listened quietly, watching Shen Rulan and Nanny walking further and further away, his eyes cold.
She knew what Shen Rulan meant. In fact, she had already guessed it. With her grandmother's temperament, it was impossible to turn a blind eye when her son was in trouble and her granddaughter was hungry. It was only a matter of time before she sent food.
The true face of this disgusting, profit-oriented family that doesn't care about flesh and blood has yet to be revealed. If she stops it, it will only make her grandmother unhappy.
Just wait, when she frees her hands, she will definitely cut off this blood-sucking bug.
Shen Ruzhou turned around and left, leaving the general's mansion. He quickened his steps and hurried back to Prince Wucheng's mansion.
Just as they were approaching the palace, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them at a hasty turn. There was no light everywhere except the cold moonlight, which illuminated the figure.
Shen Ruzhou couldn't dodge in time, and he actually hit him!
She screamed and took two steps back.
"Who!"
The man also screamed, "Who is it!"
The two looked at each other.
Shen Ruzhou looked at the person in front of him in surprise and asked tentatively: "Huaining?"
The man immediately took a breath and took a step forward: "Pretty sister, you scared me!"
Shen Ruzhou was happy, patted his chest, suppressed his racing heart, and couldn't help but knock his head.
"You just scared me. It's already dark. Why are you wandering around outside? It's very dangerous outside, do you know that?"
Lu Huaining felt a little guilty, but said confidently: "I know the danger, but, but I want to save people with you, like Master!"
The plague is so terrifying. Don’t the beautiful sister and master know the danger?But they still faced the difficulties, he also wanted to protect others, he wanted to be strong, protect the weak like them, protect the master and beautiful sister!
Shen Ruzhou looked at the determination in the young man's eyes and his heart softened.
In her previous life, she didn't have many interactions with the people in the Regent's Palace, and she had even fewer memories of Lu Huaining. She only remembered that he was in poor health and could hardly go out.
Looking at this child now, he will definitely be a person with a righteous heart in the future. She changed his destiny when he got sick before. If he takes good care of himself in this life, he should be able to help the people as he wishes.
However, now that the plague is rampant, he cannot bear it.
"Not this time, Huaining. While it's still early, I'll take you back to the Regent's Palace."
Lu Huaining dodged her hand and immediately took a few steps back, "No, no! I want to follow my sister. If you send me back, I will run out again!"
Shen Ruzhou couldn't laugh or cry.
"Huaining, don't make trouble."
He looked at her pitifully, "Beautiful sister, I am telling the truth. I can run out once, but I can run out twice. This time I bumped into my sister. If I meet a bad guy next time, I will be killed." If you take him away, I’ll be finished!”
"Sister, please take me back. I promise to be good and obedient. I will work with you to treat illnesses and save people. If I can help, I will help. If I can't help, I will stay alone, okay?"
He was invincible in his coquettishness. He kept pestering her and circling her. He was a bit naughty, but also very cute.
Shen Ruzhou really couldn't defeat him. He tried three or two times to no avail, so he had to take him back home.
Although she felt that if Lu Huaining was sent back to the Regent's Palace this time, with Bei Xiuyan's temper and ability, he would definitely not be able to escape a second time, but she was afraid of what might happen.
Now that the plague is rampant, even if she can cure him, his health is so bad that he will be in trouble if something happens to him. It is better to stay with her and persuade him to return to the Prince Regent's Palace later.
Lu Huaining was particularly happy. He was chirping along the way, and he didn't stop even after entering the Wucheng Prince's Mansion.
"Sister is kind-hearted and is the best to Huaining!"
"Sister is the best to me in the world, besides my master!"
Shen Ruzhou let him talk about such compliments and just laughed without answering.
She took Lu Huaining into the house and walked towards her yard. She happened to see Mu Wanrong sticking her head out of the open window of the house.
As soon as Mu Wanrong saw Shen Ruzhou, her eyes were filled with viciousness and gloom.
She and Shen Ruzhou had reached a point where they were fighting to the death. Shen Ruzhou had repeatedly harmed her. The injury on her back had not healed yet, and she almost contracted the plague, all because of Shen Ruzhou.
She couldn't pretend anymore in private. Shen Ruzhou couldn't kill her no matter what she said, but she didn't realize that the person Shen Ruzhou brought back was the young master of the regent's palace.
"Hey, the princess is back, why did you bring one back? She has a huge appetite, and even one hookup is not enough. She even refuses to let the child go! Don't even look at how old you are!"
"I used all my ability to seduce the prince on other people. It's so shameless..."
