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

Chapter 492 The General's Daughter vs. the Deposed Crown Prince with No Heir (29)

Zhao Heng opened his heavy eyelids from his sickness and delirium, and saw the woman in front of him as if in a dream.

"The meaning of the book."

His voice was filled with surprise, believing that God had taken pity on him before his death and allowed him to see his wife one last time.

During this period, he witnessed far too many separations of life and death.

Unfortunately, he himself was also dying of illness, and his only regret was that he could not return safely to his wife's side.

Shen Shuyi helped him sit up. "It's me. Drink your medicine first."

Zhao Heng realized this wasn't a dream, so he quickly backed away, covered his mouth and nose, and turned his back to her, saying, "Shuyi, you have to go!"

"He Ya!"

"Come in and escort the princess back."

He was afraid of passing his illness on to his wife.

Shen Shuyi held his hand tightly, trying to calm him down. "Yanzhi, I'm fine. I've found a way to treat the epidemic."

"Drink your medicine first."

Zhao Heng was still worried. "Shuyi, go away a bit. I'll drink the medicine myself."

Shen Shuyi couldn't refuse him, so she handed him over and stood up, taking two steps away from the bedside, but she kept looking at Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng drank it rather quickly, and the medicine dripped down the corner of his lips.

Shen Shuyi picked up a handkerchief, went over and wiped the medicine off his lips. After putting down the bowl, she sat down and hugged him.

She buried her face in Zhao Heng's chest, her eyes brimming with tears, and choked out, "Your Highness, please don't push me away again. Even without an antidote, I am willing to live and die with you."

Zhao Heng's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes reddened.

He knew Shuyi was sincere towards him, but he never expected her to be so selfless, pure, and devoted.

If a wife is found like this, what else can a husband ask for?

Zhao Heng held her tightly in his arms. He must have done a great deed in his past life, otherwise how could he be so lucky to meet her in this life?

Shen Shuyi looked at the man who had fallen into a deep sleep after experiencing great joy and sorrow, and then lowered her head to give him a gentle kiss on the forehead before leaving.

After eating something, she immediately went to the epidemic camp. When she was raising funds at the Da Ci'en Temple, many noblewomen from Chang'an also participated. She pawned the jewelry she had raised and exchanged it for silver notes to buy a large amount of grain, which was then transported to Qingzhou Prefecture.

In addition to distributing porridge, they also provided food to some elderly people living alone, and implemented a work-for-relief system for those who were able to work. Before long, the disaster relief efforts in Qingzhou Prefecture became more organized.

With the epidemic under control, everyone's attention has turned to Shen Shuyi.

A little girl peeked at her with her head tilted up and asked the adult next to her, "Mommy, is she a fairy? She's so pretty."

"I heard it's Princess Consort of Prince Su."

"The prince and princess are like immortals. If it weren't for them, we..."

Shen Shuyi led the soldiers on patrol, summoned the imperial physicians to help bandage and treat the injured disaster victims, and she also did it herself.

Everyone witnessed this scene.

As evening fell, Shen Shuyi returned to the post station where Zhao Heng was staying.

Zhao Heng had just woken up after his fever subsided, and he suddenly sat up and looked around.

Shen Shuyi pushed the door open and came in. Seeing that he was about to get up, she quickly pressed him down. "Don't move around. Aren't you afraid of fainting if you get up so suddenly?"

Zhao Heng said nothing, but held her hand and pulled her into his arms. He quickly pulled away, feeling embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Shuyi, I haven't taken a bath yet."

Shen Shuyi chuckled. "It's okay." Anyway, she had blocked her sense of smell.

"You need to be completely cured before you can wash your hair and take a shower, otherwise the condition will recur."

Zhao Heng felt much lighter and his energy had returned, though he was still a little weak. "I feel much better now. What's going on outside the book?"

"The disease has been brought under control, and those who have recovered have been taken out of the epidemic camp and are being properly settled. Don't worry."

“That’s right.” Shen Shuyi placed the porridge, which had cooled to a suitable temperature, in front of him. “It’s just that the local officials and imperial physicians were curious about my prescription. I just said it was a dream from a Bodhisattva.”

"By the way, Your Highness, I discovered limestone in that lake on the outskirts of the city."

"Limestone?" Zhao Heng asked, puzzled.

Shen Shuyi explained, "It is also called limestone, which can be used to make cement for building dams."

"Your Highness, perhaps you don't understand right now, but once you're better, we'll go together to see how it's done, to make cement, and then to build the strongest dam, so that we won't have to worry about floods breaching the dikes for years to come!"

Zhao Heng hugged her tightly, unable to contain his excitement, "Shuyi, how do you know so much? Are you a fairy descended from heaven?"

Shen Shuyi smiled and shook her head.

Although she wasn't a fairy, she came for him.

Shen Shuyi did not tell Zhao Heng that she was pregnant, fearing that he would be distracted and have an accident, and even more so that he would insist on sending her back to the Prince's Mansion so that she would not have to work hard.

It was a critical moment for the reconstruction of Qingzhou Prefecture. She had to successfully produce the cement so that she could leave this place with Zhao Heng in peace.

In the following period, after recovering from his illness, Zhao Heng immediately devoted himself to the disaster relief work, leaving early and returning late every day.

Shen Shuyi wrote down the formula for making cement and gave it to him, and also gave some suggestions for building dikes. Zhao Heng was amazed. When the other officials learned that this was the princess's method, they were all astonished and admired the princess to an unparalleled degree.

The weather was getting hotter every day. The conditions here were not like those in Chang'an. In the Prince's Mansion, there was ice stored to cool off. Shen Shuyi boiled plum juice and hung it in the well to chill it. She also made cucumber salad by hand so that Zhao Heng could eat it when he returned in the evening.

After dinner, the couple took separate showers. Shen Shuyi went back to her room first, made up her bed, and lay down. Since becoming pregnant, she had become increasingly sleepy.

Zhao Heng got into bed, pulled her into his arms, and gently stroked her long hair.

Shen Shuyi thought that he was too tired from working during the day to have any thoughts at night, but she didn't expect that this man would hold her tightly and let his hot hands roam freely.

Shen Shuyi hurriedly crawled forward, but Zhao Heng grabbed her waist and whispered in her ear from behind, "Don't move around, or you'll complain of being hot again."

After saying that, he kissed her ear.

"Yiyi, it's been so long."

"Is that possible?"

Shen Shuyi thought of how he hadn't had a proper rest in Qingzhou Prefecture since leaving Chang'an, and how he was constantly worried that the flood would break down the city walls and drown the victims. Her heart softened.

She stroked Zhao Heng's handsome, thin face, "Then...be gentle."

Zhao Heng lowered his head and placed delicate kisses on her collarbone, his voice filled with longing.

"As the Princess wishes."

The two kissed passionately on the bed. Zhao Heng was utterly enamored with her charming, tearful appearance and loved listening to her voice even more.

Shen Shuyi looked at Zhao Heng on top of her with her watery eyes. Her husband's face was flushed, and his usually gentle and warm eyes were full of longing for her, which made her feel a sense of satisfaction from body to soul.

Zhao Heng sighed with relief, hugged her tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Shuyi, I love you so much."

"I miss you so much." He buried his face in Shen Shuyi's snowy neck and said while kissing her, "I've missed you every day since I left Chang'an."

Shen Shuyi said softly, "I miss you too."

She felt his strong, powerful heartbeat, transmitted through her body with each closeness, causing her heart to pound anxiously as well.

Zhao Heng stared at her cherry lips, experiencing the ultimate pleasure of separation making the heart grow fonder.
