The cruel little princess

Seeing that the plague in Tongniu County was beyond control, County Magistrates Liu and Zheng sent people to block the passages on both sides! No one was allowed to enter, but not leave! It wouldn't be long before all the people in Tongniu County, including the imperial doctors, would quietly disappear in this plague!

Once all the people in Tongniu County were "infected with the plague and died", he could legitimately petition the emperor to seal off Tongniu County permanently and forbid anyone from living there! Then, they could mine gold without restraint!

Unfortunately, man disposes, God disposes. The emperor sends the "last disciple of the miracle doctor" - His Royal Highness Prince Jin's wife Shen Youyou to treat the plague!

Shen Youyou's trick of pretending to be sick with the plague was actually to appease the sensitive and suspicious nature of County Magistrate Liu. In fact, she was improving the prescription in Tongniu County to restore all the people to health!

Shen Youyou and His Royal Highness Prince Jin worked together, cooperating internally and externally. Princess Shen Youyou actively treated the plague while His Royal Highness Prince Jin secretly investigated and collected evidence outside.

After a period of effort, the secret guards finally succeeded in obtaining the letters and tokens exchanged between County Magistrate Liu, County Magistrate Zheng, the Minister of War and others, and handed them all over to His Royal Highness Prince Jin.

Among these pieces of evidence, the most hidden were Magistrate Liu's letters. It turned out that he did not keep these important letters in his study, but hid them under the shrine in the Buddhist temple where his wife visited every day.

When An Er learned of this, he couldn't help but sneer, "Could it be possible that such a sinister and unforgivable demon could have mercy?"

However, Shen Youyou had a different opinion. She said calmly, "In my opinion, he's probably worried that those innocent people who died tragically will come to him to collect their debts and take their lives!"

With irrefutable evidence before him, Prince Jin decisively ordered the arrest of Magistrates Liu and Zheng, secretly escorting them back to the capital. At the same time, all the incriminating evidence and news of the gold mine discovery in Tongniu County were also brought back to the capital.

Shen Youyou had previously asked His Royal Highness Prince Jin whether to keep the news of the gold mine secret in case of future need. His Royal Highness Prince Jin pondered the matter overnight and ultimately decided to report the news to the court!

Of course, the way Prince Jin and his beloved little princess communicated was very special—through letters. After all, the plague had not yet been completely controlled, and Shen Youyou would not let him set foot in Tongniu County!

His Royal Highness Prince Jin: "My beloved, I am writing to you. Regarding the gold mine you mentioned earlier, after careful consideration, I believe that this should be reported to the court. What do you think, Princess?"

Shen Youyou: "It's up to you to make the decision on this matter! Whether you choose to move forward or retreat, I will always be with you! If you choose to enter the court, I will accompany you to fight in the court; if you choose to leave the court, I will also accompany you to live in seclusion in the martial arts world!"

After reading the contents of the letter, His Royal Highness Prince Jin was moved to tears! So this is what it feels like to have your loved one by your side, sharing every moment!

His Royal Highness Prince Jin replied: "Although my journey ahead is full of obstacles, I will bravely forge ahead and overcome all difficulties and obstacles! Although the future is uncertain, I will uphold integrity and act with integrity!"

Shen Youyou couldn't help but twitch her lips as she read the letter. She thought to herself, isn't it just to say that I disdain to use such low-brow means? Is it necessary to say so many flowery words?

But she didn't say much, just simply replied with one word: Correct!

The weather has turned cold in mid-November of the lunar calendar, and snowflakes are falling from the sky.

County Magistrate Liu and his men were secretly escorted back to the capital, but Prince Jin and his wife remained in Tongniu County to oversee the situation. This was also to conceal their actions and prevent the Minister of War in the capital from becoming desperate.

After a long period of hard work and anticipation, Tongniu County finally achieved victory. When the last plague patient recovered, the people cheered and celebrated this momentous occasion. Shen Youyou excitedly watched as the patients emerged from the quarantine area, her eyes filled with joy and pride.

She successfully defeated the plague and saved countless lives. This achievement belongs not only to her personally, but also to everyone who participated in the fight against the epidemic.

Aside from the celebrations, Shen Youyou led the entire village in a comprehensive disinfection of the county. They used large quantities of quicklime and strong alcohol to ensure every corner was thoroughly cleaned. This initiative has given Tongniu County a brand new look and reassured the residents of safety and security.

When the lockdown was finally lifted, Tongniu County revived. Shen Youyou was moved to see the people who had spontaneously gathered, cheering and crying. In that moment, she felt the strength and support of the people and knew that everything she had done was worth it.

Yet, amidst the celebration, Shen Youyou felt a surge of sadness. She thought of the families who had lost their lives, who would never again witness such a beautiful scene. But she knew their sacrifice would be forever etched in everyone's memory.

Because this incident involves a profound secret, the people of the three counties are unaware of their magistrates' conspiracy. Prince Jin has ordered the Imperial Guard to take over the administration of the three counties. Once they are returned to the capital, the Emperor will judge them and dispatch suitable officials to replace them.

Despite the uncertainty of the future, Shen Youyou firmly believes that justice will ultimately triumph over evil. She is determined to continue working to protect the rights of ordinary people and create better living conditions for them. This victory will become a valuable lesson in her life, inspiring her to keep moving forward.

After His Royal Highness Prince Jin finished all his tasks, he immediately rushed to Tongniu County, eager to meet the little princess he had been thinking about day and night!

When he arrived, the sight before him made his heart tighten.

Shen Youyou was seen standing quietly in the morning light. The rising sun cast its warm light, covering her with a hazy golden glow.

Her whole body exudes a gentle aura, like the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, as if she can leave with the wind at any time.

She closed her eyes tightly, lost in her inner world, savoring the tranquility and joy of the moment. Her face was calm and peaceful, and her whole body exuded an otherworldly beauty.

Prince Jin felt a surge of unease in his heart. No! She could only belong to him! He couldn't accept the fact that she was leaving him!

So he deliberately increased his pace, walked quickly towards her, and hugged her tightly in his arms.

Their bodies fit tightly together without any gaps. He used this hug to express his longing for her and the pain of separation, hoping that she could feel his sincerity.

Ever since Shen Youyou knocked him unconscious and went to Tongniu County alone, they have never had a hug as real as this one!

Later, he personally went to the Youzhou garrison to mobilize troops to come to Tongniu County. Although he could see her from afar every day, he could not let her truly feel the love and sincerity from her dear husband!

So as soon as the two met, His Royal Highness Prince Jin felt that all the resentment and worry accumulated in his heart for months turned into a sigh and disappeared!

His Royal Highness Prince Jin, who had never believed in gods and Buddhas before, suddenly wanted to pray to all the gods and Buddhas, just to protect her! As long as you can stand in front of me safely, I am willing to spend all the rest of my life cherishing and loving you! The so-called love, at this moment, is concrete!

Shen Youyou was the same! If someone really needed to come to the plague area to guard it, she would rather leave him behind and go alone! Although she was not good at expressing her love, she used practical actions to show her care and love for him!

This is what a two-way love is, isn't it?! I've crossed mountains and seas, time and space, just to love you!

Prince Jin looked at the woman before him, his heart filled with emotion and warmth. Their love and care for each other were as deep and unwavering as the mountains and rivers. Even in the face of hardship and danger, they never flinched, choosing each other without hesitation. This love felt incredibly precious, and it reassured him that true love could overcome all hardships and triumph over anything.

His Royal Highness Prince Jin hugged his little princess tightly, and without too many words or body movements, he was able to express his overflowing love!

Shen Youyou was enjoying the tranquility and comfort of the moment, staring into the distance in a daze.

After hugging for a long time, His Royal Highness Prince Jin was reluctant to let go of his beloved little princess!

"Youyou, what are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" His Royal Highness Prince Jin asked pretending to be jealous.
