Chapter 238 Serving the Prince
Chang Lin's words were sonorous and powerful, hitting Xiao Chenyan's heart.
He has planned this for a long time. If the granary comes in handy during times of famine, the people will naturally surrender to him.
He is not favored in the palace. If he wants to make a comeback and make his father unable to turn a blind eye to him, he needs the right time, such as now.
Xiao Chenyan's eyes suddenly gathered dark clouds, his slightly sickly handsome face was filled with confidence and determination, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Build momentum first, then open the granary. If necessary, make some sacrifices. Any means can be used. I only want good results."
He only wants the hearts and minds of the people, and if many people die, then he will be regarded as a god if he steps in to solve the problem. Only then can he capture the hearts and minds of the people and stabilize them as quickly as possible!
Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters and must make necessary sacrifices.
"Yes!" Chang Lin accepted the order and knelt down, "Then how should we deal with the plague?"
Xiao Chenyan lowered his eyes, pursed his pale thin lips slightly, and did not speak for a long time.
Controlling famine and then conquering plague, a two-pronged approach would indeed win more people's hearts, but he somehow didn't want Shen Ruzhou to take risks.
He was usually in good health, but now he was so sick that he could hardly get out of bed. Shen Ruzhou was just saving him now, so he was lucky enough not to be infected.
But if you treat tens of thousands of people, there is no guarantee that something will happen. If you get infected... She is a weak woman, and she may not be able to survive.
"Let people keep an eye on the medicine Shen Ruzhou used to treat the plague, and inform the imperial doctors so that they can learn from her later."
Jun Wu's eyes were surprised, but he smiled happily.
Chang Lin's heart suddenly tightened. The more the prince valued Shen Ruzhou, the more he felt that the woman had deep intentions. Now that the great cause was ahead, the prince actually used the worst means to protect the woman.
How can we do great things like this? !
"Your Majesty, if the princess comes forward, it will represent your face, so that she can better build momentum for you. If she is just an imperial doctor..."
Xiao Chenyan waved his hand and coughed, "No need to say more, just do it."
Chang Lin opened his mouth, but in the end he could only respond in a muffled voice. Jun Wu also retreated and went to perform their duties.
Xiao Chenyan watched the door close and couldn't help but cover his lips and coughed twice.
He couldn't breathe, felt weak and uncomfortable, and slowly lay back down.
In his mind, the scene of Shen Ruzhou feeding him medicine and giving him injections suddenly flashed across his mind. He looked virtuous and gentle. Xiao Chenyan stared at her and felt that the pain in his body had eased a little.
However, there have been more and more scenes like this recently, and he always feels like something big is about to happen!
Sure enough, a red light flashed suddenly, and the warm scenes in his mind were torn apart, and strange scenes emerged again.
Shen Ruzhou was seen staring at him with red eyes, holding a dagger in her slender hand, and crying, telling him not to come near her.
And he was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, his eyes full of heartache: "Shu Shu..."
These two words seemed to stimulate Shen Ruzhou, her face became more and more crazy, and laughter came from her mouth, echoing in the gloomy and dark palace.
Shen Ruzhou walked up to him: "Xiao Chenyan..."
The voice was extremely hoarse, but full of desolation. Xiao Chenyan stepped forward and held her hand, only to feel it was cold.
Suddenly there was a muffled groan.
A sharp blade covered in blood suddenly penetrated his abdomen, and Shen Ruzhou's hoarse voice sounded in his ears.
"Xiao Chenyan, I hate you so much..."
He lowered his head and stared at the knife on his abdomen in disbelief. His body was hurting, but his heart was hurting even more.
Shen Ruzhou's fingers turned red and blood covered the dagger. As if it was not enough, under his gaze, the sharp blade was pushed in again!
His face turned pale in pain, and he only held her hand, not willing to hurt her, "Shu Shu..."
"Don't call me! Xiao Chenyan, you don't deserve to call my name! You killed my father and brother. Today, either you die or I die!"
The scene suddenly stopped, and the pain intensified instantly. Xiao Chenyan's eyes turned red, and his heart ached to the point of suffocation. When he came back to his senses, he fainted as soon as he saw the red candle burning in the room...
At the same time, after Shen Ruzhou arranged Lu Huaining's residence, he returned to the room and suddenly saw a letter on his desk.
She frowned slightly and moved her fingers slightly, only to hear the servant next to her say: "Princess, this letter is from the princess."
Jianing?
There was a smile on Shen Ruzhou's bright face, but she was not surprised.
Bei Xiuyan said that if Jianing County is going to marry an old man, the eldest princess will definitely not help her. In desperation, Jianing will only come to her for help, which is reasonable.
She opened the letter, and Jianing's handwriting looked a little arrogant, and his words were full of arrogance, as if the invitation to meet her at the princess's mansion was a reward for her.
Shen Ruzhou shook his head, the little girl had a really bad temper.
Looking further down, Jianing's appointment was to meet tomorrow night at [-]:[-]. She pondered for a moment and said that there was nothing to do after dinner tomorrow night, so she whispered to the maid.
"Go and tell the princess that I will be there tomorrow night as promised."
The servant responded: "Yes, Princess."
The servants retreated and closed the door, but did not see Chang Lin not far away.
He had just determined Lu Huaining's residence, which was indeed far away from Shen Ruzhou's, and Shen Ruzhou knew what was right, when he happened to hear Shen Ruzhou's last words, his eyes flickered, and he turned and left without saying anything.
The next morning, Shen Ruzhou and Lu Huaining finished breakfast. She was going to see Xiao Chenyan for a consultation. She took new medicine yesterday and didn't know how it was going.
However, it shouldn't be a big problem, otherwise Jun Wu and others would have come to see her a long time ago.
Lu Huaining wanted to follow him, but Shen Ruzhou couldn't persuade him, so he asked him to take precautions and go to see Xiao Chenyan together.
Xiao Chenyan had woken up. After washing, he was sitting on the bed sickly. Shen Ruzhou and Lu Huaining came in. His eyes flashed and he was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything. He said hoarsely: "You're here."
Shen Ruzhou frowned, "Stop talking."
Lu Huaining: "The sound is so unpleasant, like a duck quacking."
Xiao Chenyan: "..."
Shen Ruzhou coughed and said, "Tong Yan Wu Ji, don't pay attention to it."
Although, Huaining said what was in her heart.
She examined Xiao Chenyan, and his condition improved a lot. He no longer had a fever, and his cough was no longer so severe, but his voice was a bit unpleasant.
It seems that she is on the right track. The pills are indeed very effective, and the golden sore medicine is also excellent. The wounds on her body are starting to scab.
"Take good care of yourself for two days, don't let the wind blow, and take medicine on time. You'll be fine soon."
Xiao Chenyan's eyebrows relaxed slightly. At this moment, Jun Wu's voice suddenly came from outside -
"Concubine, you can't go in yet!"
Mu Wanrong hurried over, but when she reached the door, she was stopped by Jun Wu.
She dressed up specially, with her hair tied up and wearing a tassel hairpin. Although she was a little less showy compared to Shen Ruzhou, who was still dressed in red, the plain dress set off her indifferent temperament a lot.
"Jun Wu, don't stop me. I've been locked up for two days and nothing happened. I don't want to be locked up anymore today. I want to serve the prince..."
