Spring apricots around the palace wall

Chapter 111 The Unspoken Heart (Part [-])

There are too many people infected with the plague in Donglou, and doctors and medicinal materials are limited. In order to prevent more people from dying, those poor people are often given up.

And Wumaling became the object of healing because she was chosen by her.

The doctor who treated him sighed several times: "If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed. What kind of luck are you to be chosen by the five princesses."

It's the fifth princess.

It's just that he couldn't see the fifth princess until he recovered.

Afterwards, he wanted to meet the fifth princess of Donglou countless times, but unfortunately, he was always discouraged.

Donglou was a place where he almost died. He couldn't forget the high-walled house with many corpses, and he couldn't forget those few nights of despair.

He may never set foot in Donglou in his life.

Later, when he heard that the princesses in Donglou were unparalleled in beauty, he also imagined what the fifth princess who made him survive looked like.

Now, Wu Maling could finally ask face to face: "Why did you save me? Why was it me?"

Ruan Wei was very surprised, he turned out to be the person she saved, which was really a surprise.

She also told the truth: "I have saved countless people like you. Because I think people who dare to face death are worth living."

"You were only nine years old then, why did you go to the mass grave to see that scene?"

A nine-year-old girl should be as pure as a blank sheet of paper, yet she would appear frequently on such occasions, facing such cruel scenes of life and death. .

Ruan Wei's eyes moved slightly.

If Wu Maling read it correctly, a trace of invisible pain flashed across her eyes.

She said: "Their deaths were a choice that Donglou had to make when he was powerless. But I can't turn a blind eye to it. I have to face it and engrave the pain in my mind."

Only when the pain is deep can we commit to change.

She is a princess and a doctor in Donglou.

However, the plague occurred frequently, and each time was different, and the prescription had to be redeveloped every time. Donglou spent huge financial resources again and again to treat the plague, which made the country weak and struggling.

Wu Maling asked: "Donglou is still the same now?"

Ruan Wei pretended to be relaxed and said, "Sometimes it's like that, sometimes it's not like that."

Basically, a large-scale plague occurs once every four years, and the financial resources accumulated through hard work in the first three years are often wasted in the fourth year and used to save lives.

Wu Maling withdrew his hand, took a step back, and kept a respectful distance from her, there was no frivolity in that look.

"If you need it, you can ask me for help, and I am willing to help Donglou."

Ruan Wei thought to herself, if she had known this, she would have revealed her identity as soon as they met last night, so she wouldn't have betrayed so much color.

But who knew that Wumaling had experienced such a desperate situation back then.

Right now Wumaling is facing her as if facing a god.

"If you were the Empress Dowager of Qiyuan in the future, An Huaiguo would never offend even an inch of Qiyuan's land. As for what you talked to me yesterday, there is no problem at all, and I will fully cooperate when the time comes."

Xuan Wei stepped into the Tai Chi Hall, his face tensed uncontrollably.

Wu Maling sat reclined on his dragon chair, leaning lazily on the back of the wide chair, with his feet crossed on the table, looking at Xuanwei with some disdain in his eyes.

"coming?"

With this posture, it seems that he is the owner of this Tai Chi Hall, and Xuan Wei is the guest.

Xuan Wei almost deceived himself to convince himself that this person is just young and doesn't know the rules.

"This is my dragon chair."

Wu Maling smiled and said, "What do we divide between you and me? Women can give me friendship, don't you think so?"

Xuan Wei's tone was very bad: "She followed you?"

"No." Wu Maling looked a bit frustrated, "This little wild cat is too fierce."

Only then did Xuan Wei notice the scratches on his face and neck, and couldn't help but smile.

He should have expected them to succeed, but right now, thinking of the scene of this guy being scratched by Weiwei and failing to succeed, he felt a little relieved.

As expected of his woman, he couldn't let Wu Maling eat a turtle, but Weiwei did it.

Wu Maling said: "I don't have that much time, I have to go back. I'll catch this little wild cat next time, you raise her for me."

The tone of this order made Xuan Wei feel particularly uncomfortable.

Wu Maling moved down from the table with two long legs, walked up to him with a stride: "Your queen is also good. Otherwise, I'm a little free tonight, so you send the queen here? Afterwards, I will send the other I'll give you half a drawing."

Xuan Wei's expression froze, he stared at his cheeky face, the veins on his forehead burst out of anger, after a long while, he said coldly: "You are being too polite."

Wu Maling gasped in surprise, "Why are you so angry? I'll just borrow your empress for one night, you won't be stingy, will you?"

Dare to ask the queen to accompany him, such words are an insult to Qi Yuan's royal family, it can be seen that An Huaiguo doesn't take Qi Yuan seriously at all.

Xuan Wei snorted, "You are dreaming."

Wu Maling sneered: "It's you who are dreaming, I will exchange a fire machine ballista with you for a woman? Are you used to getting something for nothing, thinking that the sky can really drop this kind of pie for you?"

Xuan Wei actually knew that it was highly unlikely, but sacrificing a concubine Ruan was not a sacrifice at all to him, so he just tried it.

He had a kind of luck in his heart, Qiyuan's national strength could be considered strong, Wu Maling, as Prince Anhuai, shouldn't dare to tease him like this to ruin the friendship between the two countries.

But this Wumaling really dared.

"Aren't you afraid of making Qi Yuan an enemy when you play this game?"

The smile on Wumaling's lips deepened: "You should also get a secret report. My father is tired of sitting on the throne, and the next Mid-Autumn Festival will pass on to me. Right now is the last time I come out to play before I succeed to the throne. How dare you treat me like that?" Do it, try An Huaiguo's combat power?"

When he came, he mightily mobilized the troops and mobilized the crowd. If something happened in Qiyuan, Anhuai's powerful soldiers and cannons would definitely suppress the situation and ask for an explanation.

Qi Yuan doesn't have that kind of combat weapon, but he has a large area and a large number of people. If he wants to fight An Huaiguo, the price he will pay is immeasurable, but he may not lose.

But with the war together, the cause and effect will soon be known to the world.

If the world knew that the emperor traded his concubine for firearms and crossbows and was tricked, he would lose all of his face as an emperor.

If he tolerated it like this, it would be really useless for him to be provoked to this point as an emperor.

Xuan Wei gritted his teeth with hatred, and clenched his fists.

Wu Maling patted him on the shoulder, feeling in his heart, Qi Yuan wants every emperor to be like this, and his downfall will happen sooner or later.

This time he came to Qiyuan, he remembered the strong bones of a certain woman who was as beautiful as a flower.

Her steadfastness is not because of her refusal to die, but her calmness. She has clearly become a fish in a urn, but she dares to use him in reverse. This courage and thought made him feel full of this woman before he knew that she was the fifth princess. Interested.

What's more, she is the fifth princess.

And this stupid and cowardly emperor who was easily tricked... is far less interesting than the fifth princess.
