Chapter 189: The Temptation of Beauty in the Countryside (Part 2)
No matter what the reasons and purposes are, it is touching for a man, a woman is willing to save your life with her own life. Especially when this woman is still a beautiful woman with a noble status.
When Jiang Xia came to the Imperial Hospital, she happened to meet Doctor Hu who had just diagnosed Li Ruliu. When she saw Doctor Hu of Doctor Jiang Xia clasped his fists and saluted him, she shouted: "Master Jiang."
Jiang Xia smiled slightly and nodded, "Doctor Hu, you don't have to be polite. Jiang Xia has not thanked Dr. Hu for helping you for several years. It's really rude."
Doctor Hu smiled and shook his head, "Hu is a doctor, and it is his job to provide medical treatment to save people. Lord Jiang doesn't have to be polite."
"Jiang admires Doctor Hu's kindness and kindness. I want to ask Doctor Hu's name for how is Princess Annan?"
"The situation is not very good." When talking about Princess Annan, Dr. Hu immediately frowned: "She was born with insufficient qi and blood, and then her body was too heavy, which made her yang energy too weak. So she needed to take various medicines from a very young age to make up for her lack of qi and blood, and at the same time balance the yin and yang energy in her body.
For a long time, those drugs have accumulated in her body, so her blood has the effect of detoxification. However, those drugs are like human life for her. Losing a drop is like losing a day of life. Losing so much, but the result is, you go and take a look."
Hearing Doctor Hu’s words, Jiang Xia knew that the situation must be bad, so he hurriedly asked: “Doctor Hu, I want to ask you again how to make up for what she lost?”
Doctor Hu thought for a while and said, "If you want to make up for it in one go, you need all kinds of treasures, such as the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, the hundred-year-old ginseng king, or the nine-leaf Tianshan snow lotus. But these things are hard to come by. I have seen ginseng for many years and have been practicing medicine for at most. If it is the hundred-year-old ginseng king, I have never seen them."
Jiang Xia nodded and bowed to Dr. Hu and said, "Thank you, Doctor Hu for your advice. Then I won't disturb Dr. Hu anymore, please give me some advice."
"Please give me some advice, Mr. Jiang." After saying that, the two said goodbye to each other and left.
Jiang Xia walked to the door of the room where Li Ruliu lived in the Imperial Hospital. Outside the door were several guards from Annanguo. The middle-aged man who had been following Li Ruliu saw Jiang Xia coming, and the middle-aged man nodded to him.
Jiang Xia said: "I want to go and see Princess Annan."
The middle-aged man pushed open the door and signaled Jiang Xia to go in. Jiang Xia said to him: "Thank you." Then he walked into the room.
When Jiang Xia walked into the room, the first thing he saw was a slightly slim back. Reason told Jiang Xia that this person must be Princess Annan Li Ruliu. But Jiang Xia did not dare to call her because the princess's long black and shiny hair was now dispersed behind her.
Although it is still straight, it is no longer as black and shiny as before. The black hair is mixed with many silver or gray hair, like an elderly man.
Princess Annan suddenly spoke, and although her voice was still so crisp and pleasant, she could not hide the weakness in her tone: "When you see me changing, you don't have to feel guilty, and you don't have to blame yourself. I have already told you about my conditions before saving you, and I believe you already know the reason for me to propose such conditions. This is a transaction, and what I hope now is that you can repay the reward I deserve after I pay."
Li Ruliu said it very bluntly, but it did not make Jiang Xia feel annoyed at all. After he was silent for a moment, he said to Li Ruliu: "You saved me. Logically, I should indeed fulfill your conditions. But please forgive me for being an offense without intention. I really can't go to Annan Kingdom to be your son-in-law.
My friends, relatives, wives, and careers are all in the Ming Dynasty, and I can't leave them. Maybe you will tell me that when I go to Annan, I can get the power and status that I may not get in my life, but those are not what I want, so what's the use of me?"
Li Ruliu turned her head to look at Jiang Xia. It is undeniable that she looks much older, and her skin seems to be not as tight and delicate as before. However, Li Ruliu is Li Ruliu, and even so, she still makes people feel very beautiful. Her temperament as calm as the water of the Snow Pond in the Tianshan Mountains and as noble as the head of a hundred flowers, still makes people feel very attractive.
Li Ruliu looked at Jiang Xia lightly and asked calmly: "Did you just forget it?" She said neither angry nor happy.
Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "It's not the case. Actually, I have another suggestion. I don't know if you want to listen."
"Please speak." Li Ruliu said.
"You recruit me as your son-in-law is nothing more than asking me to help you inherit the throne of Annan, and then I will have children with you and pass the throne to our son, right?"
"Yes." Li Ruliu nodded.
Her indifferent tone suddenly reminded Jiang Xia of Wen Yue Jinghong. This woman who had been buried in the deepest part of his memory for a long time was surprisingly similar to the Princess Annan in front of him.
They are both so wise and so rational. It seems that the emotions and reality in the world can really separate them with a strong heart and almost perverted reason.
Have children and inherit the throne.
This seems to be a state affairs that completely does not contain any personal feelings in Li Ruliu's answer.
Jiang Xia suddenly felt a sense of frustration in her proud heart. He had experienced this frustration once before, when Wen Yue Jinghong revealed her true identity to him and expressed her desire to capture him.
Jiang Xia almost dared to confirm that Li Ruliu did not fall in love with him.
Jiang Xia couldn't help asking: "Can I ask you why I chose me before I say my proposal?"
"Before I came, I asked someone to conduct an investigation in the Ming Dynasty. I picked four people in total, and you were one of them. You were the top scholar in the Jin Academy, which proved that you had outstanding literary talent. After coming to the Ming Dynasty, I found that your martial arts skills were also very good. When Cha Yili was killed, you proved your intelligence and wit. In addition, you were loyal to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which proved that you were a loyal and righteous person. In addition, you were pretty good, so I have no reason not to choose you." Li Ruliu said.
"Haha, that's really my love." Jiang Xia couldn't laugh or cry.
"What is your proposal?" Li Ruliu asked.
Jiang Xia said: "I can help you convince the emperor and let him support you as the Queen of Annan."
"Queen?" Jiang Xia finally saw a look of surprise in Li Ruliu's eyes, but after a moment of pondering, she shook her head: "No, this will definitely not work. Not only will the royal family members not agree, but even civil and military ministers."
"Isn't you just going to be the queen? I will go to Annan with you first to get married, and then use the excuse of serious illness to let you rule the country behind the curtain. After you slowly grasp the situation in Annan, I will write an edict to pass on the throne to you so that you can successfully ascend to the throne."
Jiang Xia told Li Ruliu all his plans.
After hearing this, Li Ruliu thought about it carefully and after pondering each step, Li Ruliu nodded and said, "I'm afraid only you can think of such a wonderful idea, but I don't understand why you would rather be in such trouble than be with me?"
Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid of falling in love with a woman like you."
After saying that, Jiang Xia stood up and said, "Don't worry, before leaving the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely find medicine for you to restore the blood you lost. You can rest first, I'll leave."
Jiang Xia turned around and left.
When Li Ruliu walked to the door, she suddenly called Jiang Xia: "Jiang Xia."
Jiang Xia stopped and turned his head. Li Ruliu thought for a while and said, "Actually, I am not without feelings, but me."
"It's just more rational, right?" Jiang Xia stroked the long hair on the back of her head and said with a smile: "I know that men like me are quite popular. Don't refuse to admit it, your eyes have betrayed you."
"Ah?" Li Ruliu looked confused.
Jiang Xia was defeated again, so he quickly opened the door and left as if he was running away.
When Jiang Xia left Li Ruliu, she smiled slightly. This smile seemed like a little girl who had stolen candy.
After leaving Li Ruliu's room, Jiang Xia asked someone to say hello to Zhu Houzhao and left the palace directly.
Missing Li Ruliu's body in his heart, Jiang Xiaxian Xiaoyao Villa greeted Cui Niannu and Cui Rushuang, and then rushed to Xiaoyao Villa.
Because Zhu Houzhao deliberately concealed it, Cui Niannu and Cui Rushuang didn't even know that Jiang Xia was poisoned. She just said that the emperor was having fun with him, so she just stayed in the palace for three or two days.
Seeing that the two girls didn't know that they were poisoned, they were worried, and Jiang Xia didn't say it.
When he arrived at the Royal Dragon Talent Office, Jiang Xia gathered all the left and right guardians, the four Vajras and the eight generals of the Thousand Gate.
In the meeting hall, Jiang Xia said: "I haven't been here these days, and everyone has done a good job in their hands. Guardian Geng has already told me this. But next I hope you all put down your work and help me find out where there are elixirs such as the Centennial Ginseng King, the Nine-Leaf Tianshan Snow Lotus or the Thousand Years Polygonum multiflorum. I'm here to find urgent use."
After hearing Jiang Xia say that, Leng Yu, who has always been taciturn, suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Xia and said, "No need to check the leader, I know there is a hundred-year-old ginseng king in one place."
"Hmm? Where?" Jiang Xia asked immediately.
Leng Yu said lightly: "Kill Valley."
"Murder Valley?" Geng Zhongqiu couldn't help but scream, and then immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, that place is too dangerous, how can you let the head go to where to take risks?"
"Actually there is no danger, it's just a place where a group of poor people live." Leng Yu glanced at everyone indifferently and said, "Didn't I come out of there too?"
