Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 491 The General's Daughter vs. the Deposed Crown Prince with No Heir (28)

[Host, not only will the Emperor not allow you to leave Chang'an, but the Empress is also itching to cause you trouble.]
Shen Shuyi pondered for a moment, "I'll think of a way."

"Got it! 66, help me exchange for a dream-making prop, I want to create a dream for the emperor."

In the palace, the Empress, along with a group of concubines, prepared to go to the Great Ci'en Temple to pray for the disaster-stricken people, and also sent someone to Prince Su's residence to invite Shen Shuyi to accompany them.

Shen Shuyi, dressed in plain clothes with her hair down, gave a playful smile. "Oh, the money's here."

The air inside the Great Ci'en Temple was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood. The Empress, with a compassionate face, knelt on a prayer mat, glancing at Shen Shuyi out of the corner of her eye.

Today she's going to teach this woman a lesson.

The Empress had made all the necessary preparations beforehand, having Shen Shuyi bleed to copy scriptures and then kneel at the Great Ci'en Temple to pray for blessings.

Thinking of this, the Empress couldn't hide the smile on her lips. She said warmly to Shen Shuyi, "Your Highness's kindness will surely move Buddha."

Just as she was about to continue, intending for the abbot to address the matter of bloodletting and copying prayer scriptures, Shen Shuyi unexpectedly stood up and suddenly addressed the crowd:

“Since we’re here to pray for blessings,” Shen Shuyi gestured for a maid to bring out a box, “why donate our worldly possessions to the disaster victims?”

With a "clink," she put the mutton-fat jade bracelet on her wrist and the gold hairpin in her hair into the wooden box carried by the maid.

All the concubines in the hall gasped. Consort Shu almost dropped the Buddhist prayer beads in her hand, and Consort Xian looked at Shen Shuyi strangely.

Unexpectedly, this Princess Consort Su dared to force the Empress to donate to charity. The Empress felt as if Shen Shuyi had trampled on her face. Her nails dug into her palms, and she forced a smile under the watchful gaze of the Buddha statue.

"Of course I will donate. It's kind of you, Your Highness, to have such a kind heart."

If she had known this would happen, she would have preferred to wash away her makeup and come dressed simply with her hair down.

Shen Shuyi felt a sense of satisfaction watching the Empress's eyes twitch.

The concubines secretly rolled their eyes at the Empress. Why invite such a powerful figure to make things difficult for them? They could just put on a show among themselves!
The Empress was humiliated and glared angrily at Shen Shuyi, but for the time being, she couldn't do anything about it.

After this incident, the Empress was even more determined to drain Shen Shuyi's blood.

Just then, an imperial edict arrived, urgently summoning Shen Shuyi to the palace.

Shen Shuyi glanced lightly at the Empress, "Your Majesty, I shall take my leave now."

"Shen! Shu! Yi!" the Empress squeezed out through gritted teeth.

Once seated in the carriage, Shen Shuyi lightly tapped a large box of jewelry. "66, do you think the Empress will use voodoo dolls on me when she gets back?"

System 66 watched as the background frantically refreshed the notification, "[Queen's Hatred Value +999]", and silently gave its host a thumbs up.

……

The emperor had a dream in which a plague broke out in Qingzhou Prefecture, causing countless deaths and injuries. He also dreamed that Guanyin Bodhisattva enlightened Princess Su, instructing the prince and his wife to save the people affected by the disaster.

In the past, the emperor might not have believed in such superstitions and supernatural phenomena, but the urgent message sent back from Qingzhou Prefecture said that an epidemic had indeed broken out in Qingzhou Prefecture!

With trembling hands, the emperor issued an imperial edict ordering Shen Shuyi to take several imperial physicians to Qingzhou Prefecture.

Shen Shuyi was prepared. She first exchanged for epidemic prevention medicine in the system. As for the development of the antidote, she would have to go to the site to see the specific symptoms and write the prescription.

Qingzhou Prefecture.

After more than half a month of hard work, Zhao Heng and the officials and people of Qingzhou Prefecture finally repelled the flood and saved the lives of all the people in the city.

Zhao Heng thought of his wife in Chang'an and longed to return home, but fate had other plans. An epidemic broke out in the city, and many people fell ill.

He gritted his teeth and dragged his exhausted body to work through the night to arrange matters related to the epidemic control.

According to past practice, the sick people were first taken to one place and treated separately from the healthy people.

However, since there is no effective medicine, we can only wait.
Zhao Heng dared not think too much about it, wrote a memorial to report it, and immediately set off to make arrangements and do his best.

When Shen Shuyi arrived in Qingzhou Prefecture with her people and supplies, she was almost nauseated by the strong smell of medicine and decay carried by the wind.

"66, please exchange for an anti-nausea pill to block my sense of smell." [Host, you are one month pregnant and shouldn't be running around like this. Seeing you like this is too much for you.]
Shen Shuyi didn't care about anything else at that moment. She only knew that she had taken the pregnancy-stabilizing pills, so even if she traveled a lot, the fetus in her womb would be fine.

She was more worried about Zhao Heng and the refugees in the disaster.

It's unknown whether Zhao Heng will also get infected in such harsh conditions.
The imperial physicians who accompanied them trembled at the sight. They were the imperial physicians of the palace and had never seen such a scene of widespread suffering.

Just then, the soldiers guarding the city came over.

Shen Shuyi took out the token given to her by the Emperor, "I have come here by imperial decree to assist His Highness Prince Su in fighting the epidemic."

"Where is His Highness Prince Su?"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers guarding the city were overjoyed and quickly replied, "The prince has fallen ill and is resting at the post station."

Shen Shuyi frowned. She searched all the way there, and when she passed by the isolation shed for the epidemic, she went in to check on the patients.

Fearing infection, the fellow imperial physicians covered their mouths and noses with cloth and took the patients' pulses through the handkerchief.

The imperial physicians all shook their heads, saying the patient's condition was too severe and he could only wait to die; they were truly powerless to help.

Based on the epidemic prevention prescriptions provided by the system and combined with the diagnosed condition, Shen Shuyi immediately wrote out a prescription.

She handed the prescription to the accompanying imperial physician, instructing him to "decoct the medicine according to the prescription and take it three times a day."

The imperial physicians all knew they were there to assist, and even if they had doubts, they followed orders. They had no choice; it would be best if Princess Su could successfully cure the epidemic, but if not, it wouldn't be their fault.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will take care of it immediately."

When those present learned that Shen Shuyi was the Princess Consort of Prince Su, they all looked at her with awe and respect.

During this period, Prince Su led everyone in disaster relief, and his image of being wholeheartedly devoted to the people has long been etched in everyone's hearts.

They also loved and respected the prince's wife, and their excitement and anticipation reached their peak when they heard that she had a way to cure the epidemic.

Shen Shuyi didn't delay; she wrote down the prescription and rushed to see Zhao Heng.

He Ya was guarding outside Zhao Heng's door when he saw the princess approaching, and he thought he was dreaming.

"Is the prince inside?"

"Yes, but Your Highness, you cannot go in. His Highness has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."

Shen Shuyi frowned. "He also contracted the disease?"

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, He Ya had no choice but to say, "Yes, Your Highness has been bedridden for a day and a night."

Shen Shuyi insisted on going in, and as soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Zhao Heng lying on the hospital bed.

She ran over quickly and saw that his face was flushed and his forehead was burning hot.

Shen Shuyi took his pulse and found that he had the same epidemic symptoms as the disaster victims. She turned to He Ya and said, "When the imperial physician has finished brewing the medicine, bring him a bowl."

"Yes!" He Ya knew that the princess was skilled in medicine, and his heart was somewhat at ease.

When Shen Shuyi came to Qingzhou Prefecture this time, she only brought Gu Hong and Jing Xian with her, while Lü Wu and the steward waited at the Prince's Mansion.

Shen Shuyi pressed her palm against Zhao Heng's thin and haggard face, feeling a pang of sorrow in her heart.

He has had a very difficult time lately.

“Gu Hong, go fetch a basin of warm water; Jing Xian, go cook some porridge.”

"It's the Princess!" The brother and sister moved swiftly and went out quickly.

Shen Shuyi first washed Zhao Heng's face and then wiped his body. The medicine was then delivered.

She used a needle to accurately target acupoints and woke him up. "Your Highness, it's time to get up and take your medicine."
