I Raised A Sick And Weak Prince
Chapter 26
Su Xi didn't know how to answer this question.
In her heart, the game character suddenly realized that she was just a game character. This kind of plot might be an AI love story in a domestic movie, but in the United States, it would be a doomsday movie!
Of course, it might just be that the game programming was smarter and gave Zaizai a realistic way of thinking.
At this stage of the game, the master guild asked this question.
Moreover, Zaizai's guess was very reasonable. After all, she had been actively communicating with Zaizai, but she had never left a word.
If she answered "no" to this question, Zaizai would probably be very sad. If it wasn't for some reason that she couldn't leave a word, then why didn't she talk to him for so long?
After thinking for a while, Su Xi turned the book on the table upside down and said, "Yes."
After answering, Su Xi went offline before Zaizai came back.
Previously, the system told her that every time she accumulated 10 points, she could exchange for a koi fish.
The first time, she won three million yuan in the lottery. The second time, Father Su and Mother Su's small factory finally came back to life. Su Xi felt that it was because of the koi fish.
Now that she had 25 points and was about to accumulate 30 points, she could exchange for another koi fish. She didn't know what kind of good luck she would have.
Thinking of this, Su Xi felt a little excited. Her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Father Su.
Previously, Father Su and Mother Su had been looking at houses. In the past two days, they seemed to have decided on the last few available houses. They told Su Xi to prepare her crutches at home and wait for them to come back so that they could take her to the house together.
It just so happened that Su Xi was going back to school next Monday. They could take the opportunity to look at the house before school.
Father Su couldn't hide his excitement on the phone. He kept talking about how great the new house was. It was a pity that the house would be handed over after the New Year. There was still some time and they couldn't move out immediately.
Su Xi's heart was beating like a drum. She couldn't wait to fly over and see the new house.
In the afternoon, Father Su and Mother Su took Su Xi to look at the house.
Previously, the family of three lived in a small two-bedroom house. It wasn't small, but it was very far from Su Xi's school and it wasn't soundproof.
However, the new house was a three-bedroom house with two living rooms. There was a big walk-in closet in the master bedroom.
Su Xi had his own bedroom and study room. After all, he was going to be in his third year of high school. Su Xi's father and mother also hoped that Su Xi could focus on his studies.
Su Xi looked at the various exquisite decorations in the model room and was so happy that she burst into tears. Therefore, she must treat Zaizai better!
I can't be so stingy in the future. I have to spend as much money as I can!
When she logged into the game at night, although she did not follow Zaizai to Zhong Ganping's house, she saw the conversation between Zaizai and the Minister of Revenue.
However, some messages popped up from the system and repeated the main points to her.
[Now, there is a cold epidemic in the city, and many people are sick. This is not the biggest impact of the frost disaster.]
[Other than the capital, the entire Yan Dynasty experienced a terrible winter this year. Countless people starved to death. Due to the decrease in food production, they had no choice but to gnaw on tree barks. There is a place north of the capital where tree barks have almost been gnawed clean.
Therefore, what the imperial court is most worried about is not the cold and the plague, but the lack of food caused by the frost disaster.]
[If this continues and we don't solve the problem of the frost disaster every winter, I'm afraid that the military strength of the Yan Dynasty will become weaker and weaker. The neighboring countries will be watching covetously and will bring their troops to invade sooner or later.]
[Therefore, is there any way to increase the production of agricultural products and let the people have enough to eat?]
In the capital, this young genius doctor was rumored to be a god. Many imperial physicians were unable to solve the illness, but he was able to easily solve it. Therefore, in the eyes of the Minister of Revenue, this young man must be the disciple of some otherworldly expert for him to have such skills at such a young age!
Therefore, during the conversation, they naturally talked about some topics that concerned the country and the people.
Although this Minister of Revenue had a big belly and relied on the imperial concubine's eldest daughter and the Fifth Prince to do whatever he wanted in the capital, he was actually a loyal and patriotic official who worked for the people.
Prince Ning, whose mind was filled with sensual pleasures, could not be compared to him.
Moreover, the Fifth Prince was also behind the scenes during the conversation.
"The Fifth Prince?" Su Xi could not help but ask.
"Yes." The system popped up a map of the current power distribution in the capital.
Currently, there were a total of four princes who had more power in the palace. They were the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince.
The Crown Prince was thirty-four years old. He was known to be loyal and honest, but his personality was more cowardly. He was on the side of the Empress and some of his relatives.
The Second Prince was twenty-two years old. He seemed to be low-key and did not seek the limelight. He was known to not fight for anything and was known to take care of the big picture. He was on the side of the Zhenyuan General and Prince Ning Fu.
The Third Prince was eighteen years old. He had the worst reputation. It was rumored that he often went to places of sensual pleasures and was no different from those hedonistic princes. However, he was favored by the Emperor, who thought that this was his true nature. Therefore, he also had a faction in the imperial court.
This Fifth Prince was only seventeen years old, but according to the rumors, he had the best reputation among the princes. Last year, he had done the disaster relief and dredging of the river channels. However, for some unknown reason, he was not favored by the Emperor.
The avatars of the princes and princesses were lit up on Su Xi's interface. Only the last prince, the Ninth Princes, had an avatar that was gray.
Su Xi suddenly had an intuition and clicked on the Ninth Princes' information.
[Twenty years older than the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. He died before he was born.
Other information: None]
… Could it be that Zaizai was the Ninth Princes?
That was Su Xi's guess. However, the game's plot had not surfaced yet, so she was not sure. Therefore, she temporarily turned off the character introductions of the princes.
Zaizai returned to the Chai Courtyard from the Minister of Revenue. As he passed through the bamboo forest, he was deep in thought. His eyebrows were furrowed, and his two small hands were behind his back. His two short legs strode quickly, as if he was thinking about what the Minister of Revenue had said about the frost disaster causing the people to starve and there was no food anywhere.
Su Xi's heart softened whenever she saw him. She wanted to poke his face, but two messages popped up on the interface at this time.
"Congratulations on completing Main Mission 5 (Beginner): Befriend the Minister of Revenue!
Obtained gold coins reward + 100. Obtained points reward + 2. "
This mission was indeed relatively easy. Just meeting them was enough.
Thinking about it, with Zaizai's ability, today's conversation should have already won the favor and praise of the Minister of Revenue and the Fifth Prince.
Su Xi was just about to be happy that he had accumulated 27 points when he received a new mission.
"Please accept Main Mission 6 (Beginner): Manage the famine, feed the people, become famous in the capital, obtain the title of 'Unknown Godly Merchant,' and preliminarily attract the Emperor's attention."
"This mission's difficulty is nine stars. The gold coins reward is 1000. The points reward is 10."
This mission was parallel to the second mission, which was to produce two thousand kilograms and befriend ten thousand three coins. It was the most difficult mission that had appeared so far. However, once it attracted the Emperor's attention, it also meant that a storm was about to appear.
Su Xi was a little excited and a little worried. He couldn't help but drink some water.
On the screen, Zaizai had already quickly returned to the house.
Lu Huan immediately saw the twelve messy writing brushes on the table to the left of the inkstone.
He was stunned for a moment. Then, his indifferent expression melted and a slight smile appeared in his eyes.
… … Did it mean that he was "120% happy"?
At first, Lu Huan thought that person had ulterior motives and was very vigilant. Later, Lu Huan thought that person must be someone of high status and unfathomable. He always treated that person with a bit of caution.
But the more he interacted with him, the more he gradually felt that … … that person's behavior was lively and had a trace of innocence, as if he was a lively person.
This kind of gradual understanding was like gentle companionship.
It was as if a hole had gradually melted in Lu Huan's frozen heart. It hid some secrets that only he and that person knew. It also hid some normal emotions that other living people would have other than his coldness and indifference … …
… … Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. He gradually had these.
That person answered the first two questions.
The second question, that person answered — — "Yes."
Lu Huan couldn't help but frown. Sure enough, as he expected, that person couldn't leave behind a word or two for some reason.
But, what was the reason?
He thought carefully. Just as he was about to pick up the brush to write a reply, the third bodyguard outside the firewood courtyard came to tell him.
The three of them had already made a preliminary model of the cold shelter and other things that he had arranged earlier according to his diagrams. Worker Wu had also cleaned up the farm once, and now there was no more accumulated snow.
He asked if he could go take a look tonight to see how the farm should be arranged and then give instructions to the three bodyguards.
Lu Huan's thoughts were interrupted, so he temporarily put down the brush and went out in the night.
Su Xi also wanted to see how the farm was now, so he quickly followed Zaizai over.
He saw that after the snow on the hillside was cleared, there was a big change!
Zaizai also hired people to build a wooden house in the farm. This way, it would be convenient for Chang Gongwu to keep watch at night in the future!
This small house had tea, a bed, a table, and chairs. Everything was available.
The cold shelter, roosters, hens, and crops that were originally in Zaizai's courtyard were all moved to the farm. This way, the farm could start operating from today!
Su Xi watched helplessly as the first step of starting a business from scratch began here. He was very excited.
She switched the interface to the cold shelter next to the small house in the farm and stared at the chickens that had accompanied Zaizai for almost a month. There were too few of them.
She wanted to give Zaizai a big gift.
She opened the shopping mall.
On the other side, Chang Gongwu and the third bodyguard were very excited when they heard that the third young master would be coming tonight. After all, the third young master was their backbone. They had to listen to the third young master's instructions for many things.
Thus, the old man and the young man ran to the entrance of the farm to welcome him from afar.
After Lu Huan and the third bodyguard arrived at the farm, they walked straight inside.
The third bodyguard was a chatterbox. He chattered on the way, and a bunch of messages popped up on Su Xi's interface.
Zaizai frowned slightly.
When they walked to the small house in the farm, the four people suddenly heard the noise in the cold shelter next to them.
Then, a wind blew, and countless chicken feathers covered the sky and earth.
The scene was very spectacular in the evening. Against the setting sun, it looked like goose feathers and chicken snow were fluttering in the air.
Chang Gongwu was shocked and hurriedly ran over to take a look. His eyes suddenly widened, "There are so many chickens in the chicken shed … there are at least, at least two to three hundred!"
The third bodyguard and the third bodyguard also ran over to take a look. When they saw it, their jaws dropped and they almost knelt down.
"Oh my god!"
What was going on?
They had just left to pick up the third young master, and the next moment, the chickens went from twenty-six to two to three hundred?!
They were so shocked that they didn't know what to do. Behind them, Lu Huan looked at the feathers flying in the air against the setting sun. His handsome face seemed to be soaked in the setting sun, and his pair of dark eyes finally shone like stars.
Of course, they didn't know, but Lu Huan knew that this was a gift from that person.
It was the first time he earned money, the first time he had a home outside of Prince Ning Fu, the first time he climbed out of the mire, and was full of longing for the future …
In these moments, there was no one to share his joy, only that person to accompany him.
If that person could be here, if that person could be here …
Outside the screen, Su Xi was also stunned by the feathers flying in the air. Together with Zaizai, he looked at the setting sun and the feathers.
The two of them were in different time and space, but they were looking at the same scenery.
