As soon as the news of Shangguan Linrui's escort to Beijing came out, the rebels no longer had their arrogance, and the banner of ironwork had already fallen, so what was the point of them tossing and turning around? Some small forces begged the imperial court to take them in, but Li Yue had already killed the red eye, and he didn't care about any prisoners of war or prisoners of war, and he killed them all.

At first, the counterinsurgency army was still killing the enemy, and later it became a battlefield cleanup. The corpses were piled up, mixed with lime and buried together, and tens of thousands of people were mobilized just to dig mass graves. By the end of July, the war was essentially over. In just one month, Donglin was slaughtered into a dead city, and all that could be seen on the wide streets were yellow-haired drooping hairs or women and orphan girls.

The people are like grass, not only saying that their lives are low, but also that they have strong vitality, as long as they have a piece of land and a handful of rice seeds, they can survive. In order to appease the people of Donglin Prefecture, the imperial court released more than a dozen cadres and allocated another 8 million taels of silver for the revival of Donglin Prefecture.

The officials who were released not only brought the grace of Xiao Rongzhan to be crowned the prince, but also an edict urging him to return to Beijing. Rong Zhan was silent for a long time, looking at Wang Nianen, the head of the Tai Hospital, who was smiling all over his face, and felt very depressed.

Wang Nianen was kind, and when he entered the door, he continued to congratulate him several times: "Your Highness, now you are the only prince in the court, this is a rare honor." After returning to Beijing, there will be your big wedding gift, this is a double happiness!"

Wang Nianen's words are very clear, there are a total of six princes, only he Xiao Rongzhan is the crown prince, who will be crowned the prince in the future, isn't it obvious?

"Big wedding?" Rong Zhan let out a long sigh: "I wanted to stay in Donglin with you for disaster relief, but my father didn't allow it." ”

Wang Nianen stroked his beard with a smile: "Your Highness, I don't think the problem here is big, the previous prevention was appropriate, the epidemic has stabilized, and it should not spread again." As he spoke, he couldn't help but praise: "I have also seen the prescription for treating the epidemic, it is really strange, only an old gentleman would prescribe medicine like this!"

Old gentleman? That's right, isn't the recipe taken from an ancient book prescribed by an old gentleman? I just don't know which dynasty and which generation of old gentleman.

"You're right, there is a strange person, if she hadn't prepared more than 5,000 catties of medicinal materials in advance and prescribed a prescription, this epidemic would not have been able to be controlled at all. Rong Zhan glanced at him: "Wang Nianen, do you want to get to know such a character?"

Wang Nianen's eyes shone, and it was naturally a good thing to have the opportunity to meet capable people. But when he came to Li Ji Pharmacy with a smile on his face, he was dumbfounded.

What? It's a woman, or a fifteen or sixteen half-year-old?

Rong Zhan felt a little funny when he saw him stunned: "This is the county lord of Donglin." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the county lord of Donglin who presented the jade coffin to the Queen Mother? Wang Nianen bowed his head and bowed.

He was an old man in his fifties, and he looked about the same age as Wei Dongshu, and Yuan Xi hurriedly helped him up: "Wang Yuantou, don't be formal, you kowtow, everyone is uncomfortable." ”

Although Wang Nianen saw Yuanxi for the first time, he had already heard of the deeds of the Donglin County Lord. Heartfelt admiration: "I can't imagine that the county lord is young and knows how to heal?"

Yuan Xi shook his head: "I just know a little bit about it, it's just an emergency, it's difficult to get into the hall of elegance." The epidemic in Donglin still needs you to worry about it. ”

Yuan Xi has always been able to speak, and Wang Nianen is very useful in his heart. Originally, as soon as he came, he found out that the epidemic had basically not spread much, and he was doing some chores again. Unexpectedly, Yuan Xi deducted the credit on his head.

As soon as his heart was touched, he wanted to say a few more polite words, Rong Zhan was afraid that he would keep talking endlessly, so he hurriedly took over the conversation: "The emperor has come to the edict, and the head of the royal court has full authority to take care of the Donglin epidemic." Lord Wang's medical skills are excellent, so naturally we don't have to worry. ”

Wang Nianen saw that Rong Zhan also said this, and smiled shyly.

"Oh, Wang Yuanshou, the five thousand catties of herbs have not been used up, you can take a look at it as appropriate, what else is Qiaozong'er. This king still has something to say to the county lord. ”

Wang Nianen knew in his heart that where he was to look at the medicinal materials, he was clearly looking for an excuse to break himself away. He didn't care, just went to follow the guy to the treasury to have a look, Liu Tianbao and the six sons led him out of the gate and went to the warehouse.

Yuan Xi smiled: "What's the matter, suddenly split Lord Wang?"

Rong Zhan was not easy to speak, and was silent for a long time: "My father wants me to go back to Beijing, and I am in a hurry." ”

Yuan Xi was suffocated, and this day finally came. She sat silently, looking at Rong Zhan without speaking, it felt as if she had finished speaking.

"Will you go back with me?" his brow was full of melancholy, like a mist hanging over the mountains after the rain.

"I, what am I going to do when I go back?" she lowered her head: "I came out just to avoid the clan elders telling me about my relatives, I have only been out for two months, if I go back now, won't I fall into the net?"

Rong Zhan pursed his lips and didn't speak for a while. yes, he doesn't even have the qualifications to give her a guarantee right now. Rong Zhan was a little lost and buried his head low.

"It's okay, Rong Zhan. As long as you don't forget about me, that's enough. Won-hee held his face and smiled sincerely.

Her indifferent smile was like a basin of cold water, which stirred Rong Zhan violently. Not to mention that he is a dignified Prince Duan, even if he is an ordinary man, he should not let his beloved woman be wronged so much!

To love someone is to give her the best of herself, not to let her be wronged by herself. Why did he let the Miss Zhao family, whom he had never met, possess everything he wanted to give Yuan Xi? Why put Miss Zhao in a position above Yuan Xi, she had never done anything, could it be because of her background?!

Amusing!

Rong Zhan thought of Miss Zhao's family, and couldn't help but feel a trace of contempt in his heart.

Maybe he can't change, but he can procrastinate. As long as the emperor does not change the edict of the big wedding for one day, he will be sick for one day. The imperial court is meticulous in everything it does, and it will not drag a sick prince to a wedding.

"Yuanxi, come back to the capital with me, it's too chaotic here, I don't allow you to stay here. He made up his mind - he has been an obedient son for twenty years, but he can't listen to the queen's arrangement for everything!

Won-hee shrank back.

He smiled slightly: "Whether you go back by yourself or I catch you back, you can decide for yourself." ”

He said so, but he was honest in action. Before Won-hee could choose, he had already pulled Won-hee into the bedroom, opened her closet, and put her clothes and jewelry in boxes one by one.

"Ling'er! Tell the shopkeeper Hu to go out and find a buyer, and Ming'er will sell the store!"

Ling'er answered, and ran out of the door with a pout, leaving Yuan Xi aside.

"Alas you!" Before Yuan Xi could say a word, Ling'er had already run away without a trace. Yuan Xi smiled impatiently and said, "What kind of ecstasy did you give our maids? ”

"Do you know why?" Rong Zhan said with a smile while cleaning up: "That's because what I said is right, what I said is exactly what she wants to do, otherwise, even your lazy girl, the gods will not move!"

"What's wrong? My dad asked me to come here to hone me, and it's a good thing, and after only two months of coming, he closed two shops. How can I have the face to go back to the capital?" Yuan Xi sat aside angrily, and took the clothes he packed out again: "Don't get it, even if you tie me with a rope, I won't go back." ”

"I can't bear to tie you up. He leaned in and bit his ear like a cat.

"Don't come to this. Yuan Xi pushed him away: "How can I go back to see my father like this? Others are doing business bigger and bigger, but I'm good, and I'm getting smaller and smaller." ”

Rong Zhan leaned on the couch and looked at her warmly: "You didn't suffer a loss, you saved the people of Donglin Prefecture, and also made blessings for the people of Ankang Town, and most importantly, you also helped me a lot." ”

"That's if you don't suffer, I can lose my money!" Yuan Xi put the clothes back in the cabinet: "I, I'm still here, thinking about how to get the capital back." ”

Rong Zhanrong hugged her behind him: "I said you don't suffer." ”

"How?"

Rong Zhan said affectionately: "Others make silver in order to earn silver." You are different, not only can you earn status, but also fame. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, you have saved so many lives, how many levels of floating slaughter does this have to be?"

"So what?" asked Won-hee disapprovingly.

"You don't care, but others do. ”

"Who is the others?" asked Won-hee.

"I," he suddenly kissed Yuan Xi's earlobe: "I'm someone else, someone else is me, I care." ”

When did he practice such a coaxing mouth? Yuan Xi was amused by him, and felt a little down, so he pretended to be annoyed and said, "Do you care? I can't even say anything." ”

"I'll marry you!" he blurted out, "I'm going to marry you, is that enough?"

He tightened Won-hee's grip and rested his chin on her shoulder. Her cheeks were hot and her breathing was a little rapid. Rong Zhan said softly: "When I go back, I will tell my father that I, Xiao Rongzhan, will not marry in this life and this life, and I will not marry Wei Yuanxi." ”

"You're not worried about your queen mother anymore?" Won-hee wanted to get rid of his hand, but he couldn't.

"I'm worried, but in my heart, you are as important as the queen mother. He continued to kiss Yuan Xi's earlobe: "This time you saved the people of Donglin and the army of the imperial court, such a great credit, my father will definitely agree." ”

"But ......" Yuan Xi was still a little hesitant, thinking of the young lady of Zhao Shangshu's family, she was still a little resistant.

"I only ask you one thing, I want to marry you, would you like to marry me?" he pressed Won-hee against the cabinet and pressed it against her body.

"You know, don't ask me. Won-hee shy away from his fiery gaze.

"No, I want you to say it. He looked at Yuan Xi, as if he was going to melt her: "Say, say you are willing." ”

"Did you propose a marriage like this?" Yuan Xi pushed him hard, but he didn't move, still pushing her against the cabinet.

"Say you want to, if you don't say it, I won't let go. He repeated it again.

"Why are you such a scoundrel? Let go of me, I'm going to be out of breath. Won-hee struggled.

He kissed the corner of Wonxi's lips: "Say you want, if you don't say it, I'll keep kissing." ”

"Okay, okay" Yuan Xi hurriedly pushed his mouth away: "I'm willing to do it, right?
