Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

The old lady was so excited that she wanted to kowtow to Lu Jiusi to express her gratitude, but how could Lu Jiusi let her kneel? Aunt Su was also very happy. If the prince could go with her, her son would definitely feel more at ease.

But Shen Yunzhi didn't think so. He had followed Lu Jiusi for so long, and he knew very well how Lu Jiusi was doing.

"Your Highness, this is just local disaster relief. I can go there myself. Your Highness should stay in the capital and recuperate."

"Disaster relief is not like fighting on the battlefield. This is your first time, so I will only take you this time. If something like this happens again, you will go on your own."

"But your body..."

"No problem."

When Lu Jiusi spoke, he glanced at Shen Nanyan. Shen Nanyan naturally understood what Lu Jiusi meant.

"I still think that Your Highness should not go to Danzhou."

"There's no need to discuss this matter further. The Emperor has already approved it."

Hearing that the emperor had approved it, Shen Yunzhi didn't say anything else. After that, Lu Jiusi agreed with Shen Yunzhi on the time to leave the city and left the Shen family. However, Shen Nanyue knew that he would come back, so she hurriedly left the front hall and returned to her own yard.

As expected, as soon as Shen Nanyan entered the room, she smelled a woody fragrance, which was the scent of Lu Jiusi. Caifu personally brought in tea, and then closed the door when she left.

Shen Nanyan didn't say anything and went straight into the inner room. When she came out, she was holding a box in her hand and pushed it in front of Lu Jiusi.

"I don't know how long you'll be gone, but this should be enough for two months. It's still the same, one pill a day. Don't take more than that."

"It won't take that much."

"It's better to be prepared than not. I'll prepare some more things for you. Tomorrow, I'll send a carriage with you out of the city. There will be a carriage full of these masks. When you arrive in Danzhou, you should wear them and never take them off unless you return to a safe place."

Shen Nanyan took out a medical mask and handed it to Lu Jiusi. After Lu Jiusi opened it, he became more and more confused.

"What do you say this is?"

"A mask is something you wear on your face."

As a result, Lu Jiusi gestured for a long time but still couldn't understand what this thing was.

"Like this, hanging on the ear, here..."

"You come."

Lu Jiusi directly stuffed the mask into Shen Nanyan's hand. Shen Nanyan did not refuse. She stood up and walked to his side with a smile. In an instant, Lu Jiusi smelled a fresh scent unique to Shen Nanyan. The distance between the two was very close. Shen Nanyan carefully put the mask on Lu Jiusi's face, while sighing in her heart that such a beautiful face even outshined her brother.

After putting it on, Shen Nanyan was about to step back, but Lu Jiusi grabbed her wrist.

"Your Majesty."

"What's the use of this thing?"

"This...if an epidemic has already occurred in Danzhou, this thing can prevent you from being infected. But remember, don't take it off unless the surrounding area is safe."

"Prepare more."

"I know. There are also some medicines that come with instructions for taking them. Also, when you get to Danzhou, you can use lime to disinfect. It's very effective."

"If I don't accompany your brother to Danzhou, will you go?"

Shen Nanyan avoided Lu Jiusi's eyes and broke free from his big hands.

"Why would I go? It's so dangerous. Your Highness, please go back quickly. The carriage I arranged will leave the city with your brother tomorrow. The sooner you go, the sooner you can return."

Lu Jiusi snapped his fingers, the door opened, and Qingyu came in holding two boxes.

"this is for you."

There were two very large boxes, and Shen Nanyan was a little confused.

"what is this?"

"I was planning to give you your coming-of-age gift personally that day, but unfortunately, I can only give it to you today. But please don't open it yet. Look at it on your coming-of-age day."

"Such a big box, could it be that the prince gave me two boxes of gold?"

"Secret, I'm leaving."

"it is good."

Shen Nanyan stood up to see Lu Jiusi out, but before Lu Jiusi left the house, he stopped and turned around.

"Shen Nanyan, wait for me."

"Ah? Yeah!"

As for Lu Jiusi's "wait", Shen Nanyue had no idea what he was talking about and just nodded mechanically in response.

After Lu Jiusi's figure disappeared, Shen Nanyue began to prepare things for them. In addition to masks and medicines, she also prepared a lot of protective clothing and other supplies, all of which were accompanied by detailed instructions for use. With Lu Jiusi's IQ, he would definitely understand it at a glance.

That night, the lights in the Shen family's house were always brightly lit. Aunt Su and the old lady were also asking people to prepare things for Shen Yunzhi. After all, they had to leave the city at dawn, and time was very tight.

In the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door of the Shen family again. Princess Chunxi came with several large carts of things, all of which were prepared for Shen Yunzhi. Almost nothing was left out, and she even prepared a lot of snacks. Although Shen Yunzhi didn't say anything in front of everyone, the smile on his face was self-evident.

The next morning, Lu Jiusi and Shen Yunzhi led dozens of carriages slowly out of the city. Danzhou was not far away, and it would take only three or four days to arrive. If they rode alone, it would be even faster. Shen Nanyue planned to go to Danzhou after her coming-of-age ceremony, so that if an epidemic really broke out, it could be suppressed as soon as possible to avoid more deaths.

Two days later, Shen Nanyan had her coming-of-age ceremony. Perhaps because Shen Yunzhi was named General Pingyi, people from all over the capital came to congratulate her. The most surprising thing was that Princess Baohe from the palace also made an appearance. It was a great honor for a concubine's daughter to have a princess come to her coming-of-age ceremony. Shen Lingxi was so angry that she smashed everything in the house.

Princess Baohe is the daughter of Concubine Qing. Before, the mother and daughter were not favored and were always suppressed by the Queen. But since some time ago, the Emperor has been nice to them again, but that kindness is superficial and seems to stay only on the surface. However, this does not affect the people in the palace to follow suit, so their lives are getting more and more comfortable. Today, when they arrived at the Shen family, they were even guests of honor. However, Mrs. Lu could not help but have other ideas and kept urging Shen Yunyi to receive the princess. Shen Yunyi did not disappoint her and was able to talk to the princess. They were laughing and smiling happily.

Princess Chunxi naturally saw this scene as well. She didn't say anything else but reminded Shen Nanyan to be careful of Princess Baohe and never get close to her. As for why, she didn't say it.

That night, Shen Nanyan, who was tired after a day of work, returned to her room. Looking at the room full of gifts, she had no intention of opening them. She asked Nanny Yuan to arrange for everyone to be sent to the warehouse, while she went into the inner room and stared at Lu Jiusi's gift on the table in a daze.

"Two boxes this big, they can't really be filled with gold, silver, and jewelry, right? If there is gold, my lady, please make a pig-shaped card for me, and I will wear it around my neck when I get married."

"Are you stupid? If this is really gold, how could the lady hold it up?"

Nanny Yuan patted Caifu, awakening her from the dazed look she had on the box.

"Ah...that's right."

"Don't worry, whether there is gold in it or not, this lady has agreed to play a super big pig card for you."

"Really? I was just like... Wow!"

Before Caifu could finish her words, she was so surprised by the box Shen Nanyan opened that she exclaimed!

Shen Nanyan and Aunt Yuan were also stunned. The things in the box were not only valuable but also very special. They were things they had never seen in their lives.
