Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

Yu Qianjing frowned and said, "Miss Lu, there are many men who only marry one person in their lifetime, but most of them are because their families are poor and cannot afford to marry a second wife."

Lu Keer smiled: "You are only talking about one kind of marriage status. I am not only talking about hoping that the marriage status is monogamous, but also includes love. If two people truly love each other, they will not tolerate even a grain of sand in each other's eyes. Love is exclusive. If a woman marries a man, and she can still accept that the man marries another woman, then this woman must not really love this man. Similarly, if a man keeps saying that he loves a woman, but while marrying this woman, he is also involved with another woman, do you think this man really loves the previous woman?"

These words were truly shocking and challenged their common perceptions.

Ye Feng and the others were stunned.

Seeing their expressions, Lu Ke'er knew that they must have never heard of such a point of view before, so she did not force them to accept it. She continued, "Of course, if one of them does not love the other anymore, then they should choose to let go. Why bother eating from the bowl and looking at the pot?"

"If..." Yu Qianjing asked with difficulty, "I mean, if your future husband falls in love with another woman and wants to take her as a concubine, but it does not affect your status as the legal wife and he still respects you, will you not accept it?"

"He has fallen in love with other women, why should I care about his bullshit respect?" Lu Ke'er snorted coldly, "As long as I know that he has other women in his heart, I will not be with him anymore. I will choose to divorce and part ways amicably."

Yu Qianjing stared at her in shock: "You... aren't you afraid that people will call you jealous and intolerant?"

"Didn't I just say that? Love is exclusive." Lu Ke'er said seriously, "So I said, I can't get married. Such a man probably doesn't exist in this world. So, don't worry about me."

She waved her hand and left with Qiu Shui.

………………

Ye Feng returned to his room, and Lu Ke'er's words just now kept appearing in his mind.

“Love is exclusive.”

"One pair for life people."

"..."

He knew that what Ke'er said was shocking in this world and it challenged people's inherent concepts, but, vaguely, he thought that Lu Ke'er was right.

He thought of his imperial grandmother, Concubine Yu.

The Emperor's grandfather said that he grew up with the Emperor's grandmother and they were childhood sweethearts. They had been secretly engaged since they were old enough to understand, and were only waiting for the Emperor to arrange their marriage after the Emperor came of age.

Unexpectedly, before the emperor could ask the late emperor for an arranged marriage, the younger sister of the Duke of Zhenguo, Shi Hanyu, had already climbed into the emperor's bed. The late emperor had no choice but to assign Shi Hanyu to the emperor as his principal wife.

The emperor said that he resisted with his life, but he had no choice but to compromise in the end.

However, the emperor grandfather could not let go of the emperor grandmother, and the emperor grandmother could not forget the emperor grandfather. So, the emperor grandmother endured the sadness and bitterness and married the emperor grandfather as a concubine.

Ke'er is right.

There is no room for a third person to come in between two people who truly love each other.

If someone intervenes, then this threesome is doomed to be a tragedy.

The Royal Grandmother died in a conspiracy, and the Royal Grandfather, out of guilt and regret, gave all his love to his father and himself.

This is the root cause of the current instability in the royal family and chaos within the Qi Kingdom.

He was so absorbed in his thoughts that a voice from inside the room interrupted his meditation.

"Your Highness."

"Sir?" Ye Feng blinked, then he realized that Si Kong Xiang was in his room.

"When did you come back, sir?" he asked. "What is the current situation in Luzhou?"

Because it was inconvenient for him to show up, Sikong Xiang went to Luzhou some time ago to assist the provincial government in preventing and controlling the epidemic.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. With Miss Lu's prescription, everything is going well. Except for the dozens of people who died of the disease at the beginning, no one has died now." Sikong Xiang replied respectfully, "I saw that the situation was under control, so I came back to report to Your Highness. I just arrived too. Your Highness seems to be worried?"

He had actually been waiting in Ye Feng's room for a while. When Ye Feng came in, he didn't see him and looked absent-minded.

Sikong Xiang was very surprised. He didn't know what could have caused this young but already calm and composed Crown Prince to be so distracted.

Ye Feng calmed down, lowered his eyes and smiled gently: "Nothing, just remembered something."

Seeing that he didn't say much, Sikong Xiang didn't ask any more questions. He changed the subject and said, "This Miss Lu is truly a remarkable woman of our time. Not only did she develop a miraculous medicine to cure the epidemic, but she also made the recipe public without reservation or taking a penny. She has truly benefited the people and her contribution will last for generations."

"Yes. She is different from other women in this world. So, I wrote a secret letter a few days ago to ask for credit for her from Grandpa Emperor." Speaking of Lu Ke'er, Ye Feng's eyes became unusually gentle.

Sikong Xiang was shocked when he heard this: "Your Highness asked the Emperor for merit? Does Miss Lu know about this?"

"She doesn't know." Ye Feng smiled faintly, "I want to give her a surprise."

Sikong Xiang's face was full of disapproval, and he shook his head: "How can Your Highness personally ask for credit for Miss Lu?"

"Why not?" Ye Feng was puzzled. "The teacher just said that Ke'er's actions benefited the people and could be regarded as an unparalleled achievement."

"I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will backfire." Sikong Xiang sighed, "Your Highness has always been far-sighted and should understand how the Emperor will react after receiving your secret letter."

After his reminder, Ye Feng suddenly woke up.

Yes, the Emperor always hated scheming women. When he received the secret letter, he must have been excited and happy at first, but after the excitement, the Emperor must have wondered why he, who had always been cold to women, would personally ask for credit for a peasant girl. The Emperor had never met Ke'er and didn't know her at all. According to the Emperor's temperament, he would have thought that Ke'er was instigating him to do this in order to repay her kindness.

Ye Feng couldn't help but feel regretful.

He originally wanted to ask the Emperor to reward Ke'er and earn some face for her. But now it seems that the reward will not be generous.

"It's all my fault. I acted too hastily. I'm afraid the Emperor won't confer a higher title on Ke'er."

Ye Feng was very upset.

"What kind of reward did Your Highness originally want to earn for Lu Ke'er?" Sikong Xiang asked curiously.

"At least she should be given the title of county lady." Ye Feng said as a matter of course.

The county lady not only had a title and rank, but also a fief. Although he thought that no matter how high the reward was, it would not be too much, for an ordinary woman, it was a great favor.

But because of me, everything went down the drain.

Sikong Xiang has been staying in Luzhou these days and has not been able to meet the peasant girl who is said to be skilled in Chinese medicine. Seeing that the usually calm and self-controlled prince has lost his composure because of her, he becomes even more curious about Lu Ke'er.
