Liu Ye's face turned red. She kept kneading her two fingers together and murmured softly,
"I...I'm afraid that General Liu will look down on me."
Listening to the meaning in these words, she was interested in bangs. Su Muer nodded with satisfaction,
"With your words, I feel relieved. Leave this matter to me. Liu Hai and I will talk about it later."
"princess……"
Liu Ye bit her lip shyly, "If General Liu can take a fancy to me, I am willing to stay with him and serve him all my life."
Su Muer pursed her lips and smiled, she raised her hand slightly,
"Get up, leave this matter to me, you go ahead and do your work."
Liu Ye blushed, quickly stood up and left.
The second case of tuberculosis in the capital was indeed from Yuhongyuan. When Liu Hai reported back three days later, Su Muer seemed to be expecting it and was not surprised at all.
Liu Hai looked at her and asked in confusion:
"Princess, don't you think this is a relief?"
"Why do you say that? The appearance of one more patient means that there are more than just this person in the capital. How can I still relieve my qi?"
"What I mean is that the old madam had a very bad attitude towards the princess. She always said that her entertainment court was fine, but now that something happened, she should thank the princess. Thinking of her arrogant look that day makes people angry."
Seeing his aggressive look, Su Mu'er knew that he was fighting for her, but she wouldn't care about such trivial matters and the thoughts of such a common man.
So she shook her head and chuckled, "No matter how arrogant she is, she is just venting her emotions. In the end, she still has to act according to my ideas, so I don't care about people like her."
Liu Hai clasped his fist at her with admiration and said:
"This subordinate has a villainous heart. I am a grown man, but I am not as broad-minded as the princess. I am really ashamed."
Su Muer smiled and waved her hands, "It's okay. In fact, you did a good job in preventing tuberculosis in the capital, so I want to reward you."
Hearing this, Liu Hai looked at her in shock, then shook his head,
"I don't lack anything. I have all my food, clothing, housing and transportation in the military camp. I haven't lived in the mansion the emperor gave me last time, so the princess doesn't want to reward me anymore."
Su Muer squinted at him and said meaningfully:
"You really don't need anything?"
Liu Hai shook his head without thinking, "No shortage."
Su Muer pretended to be helpless and shrugged, "Well, I originally planned to introduce you to a marriage partner. Since you don't need it, then..."
"princess……"
Liu Hai interrupted her directly and said:
"Let the princess worry about it. There is a shortage of women, but...it's just that at my age, it's not easy to find them."
Su Mu'er knew that he really wanted to find a woman. What man didn't want to have a home of his own and a gentle home at home.
"There is a suitable candidate right now, but I don't know if you agree or not."
After hearing what she said, Liu Hai hurriedly asked:
"Do I know the person the princess is talking about?"
Su Muer nodded directly, "We know her, and we're quite familiar with her."
Liu Hai frowned and pondered, and couldn't help asking for a while:
"Who is the princess talking about? I apologize for my stupidity and did not think of it."
Su Muer pursed her lips and smiled, "This person has a gentle personality and is interested in you. If you want to have a marriage with her, then I will call her over. You will know who the other person is when you meet her."
Liu Hai directly cupped his fists and said without any politeness:
"Then there is Princess Lao."
Anyway, he has been anxious to find a woman recently, but this military camp is full of men. It is not easy to find a suitable woman to be a wife. Now that the princess mentioned this matter, how could he miss it.
Su Muer smiled slightly and said to the outside:
"come in."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Hai hurriedly followed her gaze outside. After a while, Liu Ye appeared in front of him in a lavender dress. She bowed and saluted Su Muer,
"Why did the princess call me here?"
Seeing her shy look, Su Muer pursed her lips and smiled,
"Liu Ye, Liu Hai, you are not too young now, and you are not engaged yet. I think you two are quite suitable. What do you think?"
Liu Ye's face turned red, and her bangs lowered her head in embarrassment.
Seeing that both of them were silent, Su Muer raised her eyebrows and said:
"You two are here to chat, and I'm going to see if Ziru has made any progress recently."
After finishing her words, she walked outside. When she walked to Liu Ye, she patted her on the shoulder and whispered:
"Don't worry, I know Liu Hai. He is a good man. You will not be wronged if you follow him."
Liu Ye nodded shyly, and Su Muer turned around and went out, closing the door.
The two people who were usually close to each other actually stood there at a loss and remained in a stalemate for a while. Finally, Liu's life experience broke the deadlock.
"Liu Ye, sit down and talk."
Liu Ye said "hmm" and followed his guidance and sat down at the table.
The two people became silent again.
After a while, Liu Hai couldn't help but ask:
"Liu Ye, you and I are acquaintances. The princess said that we are suitable. Do you think we are suitable?"
Liu Ye nodded slightly sheepishly, "I completely listen to the princess, she will never see the wrong person."
Liu Hai was a little excited when he heard this, "So you agree? Really?"
"Well, I listen to the princess, and I also believe that General Liu is a good person, as long as General Liu does not dislike my girl's background."
The bangs suddenly crossed the table and pulled her heart, and her lonely heart was about to jump into her throat.
Liu Ye was a little embarrassed and wanted to withdraw her hand, but he held it tightly. A trace of excitement flashed in his eyes. He looked at her and couldn't help but said:
"How could I dislike you? You are so good-looking and have such a gentle temper. It's not too late for me to like you. It's just that I'm a rough guy, so don't dislike me."
Liu Ye shook his head shyly, "Being able to be with General Liu is because of the virtue accumulated by Liu Ye's ancestors. How dare Liu Ye dislike the general."
"Willow leaves..."
He looked at her lovingly, and she no longer wanted to withdraw her hand.
Both hearts were beating violently at this moment. This was the first time for Liu Hai to touch a woman's hand, and he was reluctant to let go. It was also the first time for Liu Ye to have her hand held tightly by a man. She was also a little agitated.
At a loss what to do.
"General Liu, don't be like this..."
"Call me Liu Hai and General Shengfen."
Liu Ye nodded slightly, looked at her feet shyly, and whispered:
"Then I'll call you Brother Liu, it sounds nice to me."
Liu Hai grinned,
"Okay, you can call me Brother Liu. Brother Liu sounds nice. Let me hear you."
"Brother Liu..."
"well……"
"Brother Liu..."
"well……"
Liu Hai suddenly couldn't help but stood up and walked around the table to Hao Hao. He pulled her up and stared at her face with his eyes.
Liu Ye lowered her head, a little embarrassed to look at him.
"Liu Ye, if you are willing, my bangs will be good to you all my life, I swear."
"I am willing to spend the rest of my life with Brother Liu. It is Liu Ye's honor."
"Willow leaves..."
He held her in his arms forcefully, and Liu Ye could feel his heart beating violently.
"Brother Liu..."
Her soft call made him hold her tighter.
They settled down for life as quickly as possible. The speed was so fast that both Su Muer and Ye Shihan were surprised. Su Muer immediately discussed with Ye Shihan to hold a marriage ceremony for them after the tuberculosis incident was over.
.
At night, Ye Shihan held Su Muer in his arms and asked curiously:
"Why did you remember to match Liu Hai? And you also promised Liu Ye to him. Liu Ye has been following you for many years and already knows your preferences. If she marries Liu Hai, who will take care of you in the future?"
She pursed her lips and chuckled, "I can't be selfish and keep her by my side just because there is no one to take care of me. Besides, there are many girls in the house, so I can just choose the one I like. Liu Hai has been following you for so many years."
You have suffered a lot, and now you have two sons, and he doesn't even have a woman. This is a bit too cruel to him, and I think they are about the same age, so I came up with this idea."
Ye Shihan raised his other hand and caressed her hair, "Liu Hai is a good man. Liu Ye will not suffer if she follows him. As a master, you really consider your slave, and she will be grateful to you."
"I don't need her gratitude. I just want the two of them to live happily together. I have seen too much suffering in the world. If I can be lucky enough to achieve success for others, it is also a kind of practice."
"Practice? Do you want to become a nun?"
He dropped these words and suddenly moved his hands, "As long as I'm here, don't think about spiritual practice, I will break your sexual precepts."
Su Mu'er was itched all over by him. She chuckled and couldn't help but said:
"No, how can I bear to be a nun when you are here? I mean there is nothing wrong with doing more good deeds."
"Have you not done enough good deeds? Now not only people in the capital, but even the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty know that there is an amazing princess. Some people even don't know that I, the regent, know you as the princess."
"I just did what I could."
"Of course you are doing your best. The emperor praised you in the court this morning. He called on all the ministers' families to learn from you. Not only did you prevent the spread of tuberculosis in the capital in time, but you also used your own money to make arrangements.
All people who have been in contact with this patient are isolated from the rest of the world, and you will arrange food, accommodation and food. The emperor said that your spirit is truly for the sake of the country, and he will reward you afterwards."
Su Muer couldn't help but laugh, "What did he reward me for? My current agricultural production is worth half of the national treasury. If the emperor needs it, I can give him something."
"Shh!"
Ye Shihan suddenly put his finger on her lips and whispered softly,
"Don't show off your wealth. You are so good, and I'm afraid that some man will like you, so I decided to come back to accompany you every night in the future."
Coming back every night? Su Muer couldn't help but frown, wouldn't that mean she has to accompany him every day? That would be a very annoying thing.
Seeing her frowning, he raised his hand to smooth her brow in displeasure, "What? You don't like to be with me?"
She pursed her lips and shook her head mischievously, "No, the prince is wise, mighty, and heroic. I wonder what woman in the world wouldn't like him? I'm afraid that the prince is getting older and will be tired when he comes back every night."
Calling him old? This is something he absolutely cannot bear.
He suddenly frowned and looked at her displeased,
"Today I will let you see how old I am?"
After saying that, he easily possessed her and started to kiss her with his thin, cool red lips...
…
The reward notice sent by the princess really worked. Just after three days, Liu Hai hurriedly came to report it.
"Princess, I found it."
Su Muer frowned and looked at him, "What did you find?"
"We found the man in the portrait of the princess."
Hearing this, Su Muer stood up from the chair and said, "Bring him in."
Liu Hai nodded slightly, turned around and went out.
After a while, two policemen came in escorting a man. The man had his head lowered, as if he hadn't eaten for three days and had no energy at all.
Seeing that he was standing there without moving, Liu Hai suddenly stepped forward and kicked him on the knee, causing him to kneel directly to the ground.
Su Muer squinted at him and asked in a cold voice, "Raise your head."
The man only moved his fingers, but his head didn't move at all, as if he didn't hear her.
Su Muer asked again loudly with some displeasure,
"Keep your head up."
Seeing that he hadn't moved yet, Liu Hai stepped forward and pulled his hair, showing his face in front of Su Mu'er.
Su Mu'er took a closer look and found that this person was indeed the person who went to the drug store to ask for medicine that day. She looked at him with a slight twitch in her mouth.
"who are you?"
The man tried to turn his face to one side, but his bangs caught him forcefully, but he did not speak.
Su Muer snorted with her nose and said contemptuously:
"You don't need to tell me to know that you were ordered by your lover to accept other people's money. You also know that I am the richest businessman in the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty. If you are willing to tell the truth, not only will I not punish you, but I will also give you money."
You have made a fortune, and you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."
Her words really worked. The man looked up at her with squinted eyes and asked in disbelief:
"Are you serious? If I tell you what happened, will you not punish me?"
Su Mu'er nodded directly, "Of course, but you can't tell lies. If I find out that you are lying to me, you will end up badly."
After Su Muer said this, she sneered contemptuously, then turned her hands behind her back in front of him and said again:
"Actually, I know who is the person who instigated you to do this, but I want to hear it from you personally, so that I can know whether my guess is correct, so you'd better not have any idea of trying to deceive me, otherwise
You will end badly."
Although her words were spoken very softly, they were so powerful that people did not dare to ignore them.
The man pondered for a while, then nodded as if he had made a major decision.
"Okay, if I tell a lie, I am willing to accept the punishment of the princess, whether you want to kill or cut into pieces, it is up to you."
Su Muer nodded slightly, "Okay, in that case, I will believe you for the time being. If you dare to play tricks on me, I promise not to let you live a little longer, and I will also let you die miserably."
The man raised his head and glanced at her, then nodded, "Don't worry, Princess, since I decided to speak, I won't tell any lies."
After leaving these words behind, he sighed and then said:
"I feel very ashamed to say this. I am originally from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and my hometown is in a village near the capital. However, I tried to start several small businesses and they all failed in the end. My family became heavily in debt because of me.
In desperation, I left the capital and begged for food everywhere."
Having said this, he paused and continued:
"Then I met a man. He said that as long as I did something for him, he would give me a large sum of money. I felt that I was so poor that I could try even if he asked me to kill someone.
, as long as you can give me money, I can be free and easy every day."
Hearing this, Su Mu'er looked a little nervous. She squinted at him and asked, "Continue."
The man nodded and continued:
"What this man asked me to do was to give a piece of clothing to someone in the capital. I thought it was a little strange at the time. Why did he ask me to do such a thing? Later, I found clues from the man's strange expression.
Feeling that there must be something special about this dress, I did not open the package containing the clothes, but went directly to the capital and found a beggar begging on the street."
He seemed to feel a little guilty when he said this. He rubbed his hands together and continued:
"In order to let this beggar wear this dress, I gave him a hundred taels of silver and told him that as long as he put on this dress, he actually put it on in the street. I gave him a hundred taels of silver.
Ticket, and then followed the man's instructions to live near the beggar's house and observe his situation."
"It wasn't until one day that the beggar suddenly stopped coughing and even started coughing up blood, that I realized that this matter was not that simple. So I went to the man who asked me to do the work and questioned him, but the man said indifferently:
'Our Changping Kingdom does not have enough troops, but we have enough brains. Within a year, I will turn the Eastern Jin Kingdom into a dead country and turn all the people here into a pile of bones.' Only then did I know that this person was not
He is not from the Eastern Jin State. He wants to use my hand to infect the people of the Eastern Jin State. I was a little hesitant at first, but the person from the Changping State promised me that he would give me a large set of medicine in the Changping State after the incident was completed.
They also wanted to marry the princess of Changping Kingdom to me. I couldn’t resist the temptation, so I agreed to do what they asked.”
After saying this, the man shook his head as if relieved, "It's all my fault for being too stupid."
Su Muer raised her eyebrows and looked at him, twitching the corners of her mouth, and asked again,
"You found my pharmacy and pretended to be that man's son. Was this intentional?"
The man nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I did it on purpose. This was also the order of the Changping man. He said that if anyone in your palace is infected with this disease, he will reward me with ten thousand taels of silver. I
Thinking that the thing had been done anyway, I wasn't afraid of doing it bigger, so I agreed. That day I pretended to be that person's son and went to the medicine shop. It happened that the princess was also there. I was very happy at the time. I thought the princess was kind-hearted and would help her.
He went to see a doctor, but he didn’t expect that the princess didn’t move, but now I’m glad that the princess didn’t move, otherwise..."
