Chapter 239: The Merchant's Daughter Wants to Marry the General 36
"I don't know." Shen Guli's eyes widened and silently cast towards the top of the mantle embroidered with crabapple flowers. "I had a dream. I dreamed that the Seventh Prince was shot through the heart from behind on the battlefield!"
Realizing what she had said, Shen Guli quickly shut up and looked at Li Xuanzhi cautiously. The latter's expression remained unchanged, as if he saw through her trick at a glance.
She just wanted to tell him about the prophecy as a dream. Was she discovered?
Shen Guli pretended to be calm and looked at him.
"Okay, I got it!" Lee Hyun-ji looked away first.
It was only a few breaths, but Shen Guli felt like they had been staring at each other for a long time, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She had taken precautions beforehand, and it was impossible for a dignified prince to be assassinated.
Li Xuanzhi saw Shen Guli's little expression out of the corner of his eye. Since she didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask for the time being. After all, she was considering him.
"You rushed back so urgently just to tell me this?"
"Yes." After thinking for a while, Shen Guli said, "This time the Western Barbarian invasion may not be as simple as it seems. The people in the northern border are not honest either. You and General Xie must be careful!"
She couldn't say any more, otherwise she would be arrested and sacrificed to the gods for supernatural powers.
"Is this what you dreamed about?"
Shen Guli smiled awkwardly, "When we do business, we always prepare for the worst-case scenario in advance. I think it's the same when it comes to war!"
Li Xuanzhi just glanced at Shen Guli's bloodshot eyes, who were pretending to be calm, and didn't ask any more questions.
"You should have a good rest."
After saying that, she stood up and was about to leave. At this time, Cherry came in with a steaming bowl of medicine, "Miss, you are finally awake. The doctor brought by the prince is more capable!"
Shen Guli drank a bowl of hot, bitter medicine, broke out in a sweat, and changed her clothes. Grape brought in a bowl of shredded chicken porridge.
After drinking half a bowl of porridge, she broke out in a sweat again. Shen Guli felt very uncomfortable and wanted to change into her pajamas again. Cherry came in and said that the prince was leaving and wanted to say a few words to her alone.
Shen Guli had no choice but to curl up on the bed, sweating profusely, to let Lee Hyun-ji come in.
Li Xuanzhi received the news from his personal guards that Shen Guli fell ill on the way back. He had no choice but to call a military doctor who was a former imperial physician to go with him to pick up Shen Guli halfway and send him to the nearest farm.
The army with food and supplies was about to set out, so he couldn't stay outside for too long. He should have rushed back when he saw she woke up, but now, Li Xuanzhi decided to tell her something in advance.
"I don't know how to make colored glaze. But you can't let anyone know that this is a method you came up with! And you can't let a third party know. You'd better just make dried noodles."
Shen Guli leaned against the head of the bed, with a thin veil between them. Li Xuanzhi couldn't see her expression, but he knew she was listening to him carefully.
"You should understand the principle of a child carrying gold and walking in the market."
Shen Guli's heart trembled. It seemed that Li Xuanzhi didn't trust the prince very much. But he was right. How could the person who could become the prince be a simple person?
I’m afraid she will become the next Shen Hongshan!
"Also, don't tell anyone about your dreams of predicting the future, not even the maidservants around you."
Shen Guli stared at the man outside the gauze curtain. He actually connected all of this together.
Shen Guli, who had always thought she was doing a good job, began to sweat again on her back, this time because she was scared.
"I----"
Li Xuanzhi heard the tension in her voice. He turned the jade ring on his thumb and thought that this scare was enough.
"Oh, right, that guy named Chen Bin, because he was fighting for the most beautiful girl in the brothel, his leg was broken and his tongue was pulled out. Now he has become a cripple!"
"Ah? Did the prince help me?" Otherwise, based on Chen Bin's relative's identity as a shady official, how could he be worthy of hearing his name from the prince's mouth?
"I would like to help you vent your anger, but when my people went there, they found that someone was already carrying out revenge on him." Then his people hid in the dark and helped to clean up the mess.
"Who?" Which hero did the good deed?
“You’re the big brother!”
Shen Guli's hands, which were tightly holding the quilt, gradually loosened a little. Thinking of her elder brother and her adopted father, Shen Guli still gritted her teeth and spoke with difficulty: "Seventh Prince, my father and my elder brother were forced to do this. They don't want to become the Third Prince's money bag. Can you save them?"
She, her mother and her fifth brother have now severed ties with the Shen family, but her eldest brother is still stuck in the quagmire, with someone strangling him and his head could fall off at any time.
People are greedy. In the past, she only wanted her mother to divorce, but now she still hopes that her eldest brother and stepfather can still save her!
"You want to save them?"
The man sitting outside against the light seemed to smile, but Shen Guli couldn't see it clearly because of the obstruction of the gauze curtain.
"Yes. Yes. Does Your Highness have any solution?" Shen Guli sat up straight, wishing she could push away the gauze curtain that was in the way.
The man's voice became less cold and stern, and he said, "It's not that there is no way. As long as you become mine, they will naturally not be controlled by others."
"Am I not the prince's person?" Doesn't that mean she is still not a member of his ship now?
"That doesn't count."
Shen Guli, who was harbouring anger, could no longer hold back and waved away the gauze curtain that was in the way, "Then what does it take to become the prince's woman?" She had many ways to make money, as long as he wanted.
The sweaty little face finally appeared from behind the curtain. Lee Hyun-ji's hand, which had been stroking the ring, stopped.
Her long hair, as black as a waterfall, was casually tied to one side. Several strands of sweaty hair stuck to her forehead, cheeks, and chin, making her thin little face look only the size of a palm.
She is like a crabapple blossom hit by summer rain, making people want to hold an umbrella for her to protect her from wind and rain.
Seeing that Li Xuanzhi didn't say anything, Shen Guli even thought of helping him make a crossbow to help him on the battlefield. Then she heard Li Xuanzhi's voice floating and swaying and landing steadily: "Become my queen!"
what?
Shen Guli was choked by her own saliva and kept coughing while covering her chest. What did she hear?
Could it be that I was hallucinating?
But she couldn't ignore the big hand patting her on the back.
If feeding her water when she just woke up was a coincidence, then what did it mean that now he, a prince, disregarded the strict rules between men and women and was lying on her back, having physical contact with her!
Seeing that Shen Guli had slowly stopped coughing, Li Xuanzhi poured her another glass of water. When Shen Guli refused to drink it, he put it to his own mouth and took a big sip.
