Chapter 629 Princess Li
You don't need to swear an oath. Even if you do, I won't provide you with food. For a prisoner like you, hunger is healthier.
With so many people eating, who will cook?
"They won't die from starvation for a few days. Just give them some water every now and then, and make sure they don't die."
Shen Ruyi told Ying Wu what was going on, then turned and left.
They can keep an eye on things here; her absence won't make a difference. With that thought, she flew towards the highest mountain peak.
Standing on the big rock at the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, all you can see are mountains, with the occasional lake or river.
Putting everything else aside, the scenery here is truly beautiful. It would be nice to stay here for a while without having to worry about anything.
With its beautiful mountains and clear waters, reminiscent of the idyllic scene of picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, it was Shen Ruyi's ideal place to retire.
He sprinkled some medicine around him, then lay on the boulder with his head on his arm, gazing at the blue sky and the white clouds.
So white and beautiful.
I didn't even notice when I fell asleep; I was woken up by the sound of my chubby dad pecking at stones with his mouth.
After reading the official's reply, it was discovered that someone was already rushing over here on horseback.
The emperor also secretly ordered a group of soldiers to be sent to the prefectural city, so that they could lend him a hand.
She liked the official's efficiency and responsiveness; look at his speed and efficiency, what a good person, a truly good person.
As a subordinate, I may not be afraid of hard work or fatigue, but I am afraid of listening to idiots spout nonsense and ramble on about trivial matters.
That's just a complete charlatan.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was around, I took out a lot of things from my spatial storage to reward my chubby dad.
Besides fruit, they also specially gave two plump rabbits to their chubby dad.
The food in this space must be too good; this rabbit is almost as fat as a ball.
The chubby father, who had been somewhat impatient, immediately became docile upon seeing this.
Shen Ruyi brushed his fur. "Have you gone back home to visit? How is everyone at home? I miss home so much. Have you thought about it?"
Unfortunately, no one responded to her; all she could hear was the sound of the other person swallowing fruit.
The two rabbits that Shen Ruyi sent out were swatted by someone's paw and lay flat on the ground.
He's lying motionless to the side right now; I don't know if he's dead or unconscious.
Simple and crude.
After it had eaten its fill, it was sent out to deliver a letter.
It's a letter to General Huang and Lord Lu, a way of letting them know that everything is alright.
He also told them to leave this area and return to the county town where they were before to wait for him.
They could also go to other mountains to continue suppressing bandits, but they had to maintain the illusion that she was still in charge of the county town.
It would be disastrous if the Li Prince's Palace sent another group of private soldiers here to fight against them.
She wasn't afraid of war, but she was afraid of causing innocent killings, which was completely unnecessary.
In the afternoon, the chubby mother returned, bringing news of the three shadow guards.
They said they would do as Shen Ruyi asked, and the relationship between Princess Li and Prince Li had deteriorated to the extreme.
In the prefectural city, everyone only knew the beautiful name of Consort Liu, and rarely mentioned Princess Li, who rarely appeared in front of others.
It is said that her son was weak from a young age, so she focused all her energy on him and never paid attention to or cared about the outside world.
They also uncovered many other things in the prefectural city, which are currently under further investigation.
They also said that they discovered King Li seemed to be nearing his end, and that he had been tricked and secretly poisoned.
Of course, this news is not entirely confirmed; it is inferred from various collected information.
They are continuing to search for more information.
Shen Ruyi was quite satisfied with this news. It's good to have conflicts, preferably with grudges and hatred.
That's how you create chaos from within.
He rewarded his chubby mother and wrote her a reply.
I need to travel this route more often recently, just in case I have any useful information to convey.
Shen Ruyi stayed on the mountaintop for a whole day before returning home in the evening.
Of course, seeing the scenery is only one reason; more importantly, standing here allows you to see the surrounding mountains.
If anything goes wrong, you can see it immediately.
Of course, she went down at night, but she specifically assigned someone to keep watch here, because it was an excellent lookout point.
As for what's happening outside, she can't worry about that for now; she's only concerned with the present.
Shen Ruyi spent three days wandering around here, and when she was bored, she would go over and chat with those people.
Let's give them a good talking to, because I'm afraid these people won't learn their lesson.
By the fourth day, the effects of the muscle-softening powder had gradually worn off.
However, having been hungry for nearly four days, they were all so weak that they looked pale and even staggered when they walked.
In addition to the side effects of the muscle-softening powder, they were all extremely weak.
Shen Ruyi and the others were too lazy to continue drugging these people, so they simply herded them all into their rooms to lie on the beds and lie there like corpses.
He even added, "You are welcome to resist or escape. Anyone who resists or escapes will have their entire family executed."
After saying that, he left.
This is a good opportunity to screen people and kill those who are stubborn and want to escape.
To avoid having to screen them one by one later, deciding who should be killed and who shouldn't.
Of course, Shadow Five and his crew weren't idle; they were guarding the core checkpoints.
We guarantee that every one that comes out will die.
Some people really wanted to run away, but when they heard the words "extermination of nine generations of their family," they dared not move again.
Two days ago, they finally learned that the person speaking was a prince.
They didn't know who the King of Donghai was, but they did know that this prince not only had an imperial gold medal in his hand, but also an imperial sword.
Killing them is as easy as crushing an ant; they simply can't afford to gamble.
That afternoon, news came from the prefectural city that their people had made contact with Princess Li.
Queen Li said she had a way to obtain King Li's troop deployment token, and that she could even imitate King Li's handwriting to issue commands, and even kill King Li.
But she had one request: she wanted Shen Ruyi to plead with the officials to spare her son's life.
From then on, there was no longer a young prince of the Li family, only an ordinary child. It didn't matter where he was raised, as long as he could survive.
Her son is so young. It's her fault for being incompetent and useless, for not protecting the child and bringing him into this world to suffer. She feels guilty.
Shen Ruyi felt a mix of emotions after reading it; there was a world of difference between the children she gave birth to and the children she was born with.
Putting everything else aside, Shen Ruyi was quite moved by Princess Li's request and explanation.
See? Men always habitually ignore women, thinking, "She's just an unloved woman, how much worse can she get?"
As it turned out, these women were far more outstanding than he had imagined; it was just that the times were unfavorable, leaving them with no opportunity to display their talents.
Otherwise, what role would certain men play?
Shen Ruyi couldn't give a direct answer to this request, after all, this was a prince's son, not an ordinary family's son.
So Shen Ruyi wrote a letter to the emperor, pleading for leniency for the mother and son.
She said she was moved by Princess Li's love for her son, which reminded her of her own mother.
Also attached is this original letter; the decision is up to you, sir.
