"Yuyao, the Retired Emperor wants to propose a marriage for you.”
In Hejian County Prince's Mansion, Li Xiaogong was surprised to receive Li Yuan's letter. Li Yuan hadn't contacted him for a long time, but when he saw the content, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The two of them had a deep friendship, and he couldn't reject Li Yuan's matchmaking.
"Father, it's not like you don't know your daughter's health. Wouldn't marrying someone else harm others?”As she spoke, a blush appeared on her pale face.
"Cough cough!"
Suddenly, she took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth. After coughing a few times, the white handkerchief in her hand was stained with red.
Posthumous consumption, which was known in modern times as lung cancer, was not a serious illness and was not difficult to treat. However, in ancient times, it was a serious illness that almost no medicine could cure.
Therefore, Li Yuyao was eighteen years old and had never married. Her condition worsened, causing her body to become thinner and thinner. She did not even know if she could survive the winter today.
"How could I not know? However, that was the Retired Emperor's intention. In his letter, he said that he had met a strange person in Anping County who had unfathomable abilities. Follow me to see him tomorrow. Perhaps he can cure your terminal illness.”Li Xiaogong said.
"Dad, it doesn't matter if it can be cured or not!! I've already seen through life and death. The only thing Yuyao cares about is her parents. I hope that I can accompany you for a few more years.”
Over the years, they had visited countless famous doctors and martial artists, but after learning of Li Yuyao's illness, they all avoided her, afraid that they would be infected.
"It will be fine." Li Xiaogong comforted his daughter. No matter what, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he was not willing to give up.
…………
The next day, Li Xiaogong brought Li Yuyao with him.
At noon, they arrived at Anping County, which was more than ten miles away from Chang 'an Fortress. Li Xiaogong was surprised to find that the people of Anping County were different from what he knew.
Although Anping County was facing a locust plague, everyone was actively catching the locusts in the fields.
"Greetings, Retired Emperor." After seeing Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong bowed.
"Hehe, Xiaogong, you're here. You brought Yuyao with you, right? This old man promised little friend Lu that I would arrange a marriage for him.。”Li Yuan said with a smile.
"Reporting to Retired Emperor, I've brought it here. But the Retired Emperor should know Yuyao's physical condition.”Li Xiaogong said helplessly.
"Xiaogong, little friend Lu is not an ordinary person. I think he can definitely cure Princess Yuyao's illness.”Li Yuan still found Lu Xiu's ability unbelievable. As if he had turned stone into gold, he had transformed into a delicacy that he had never heard of even when he was in the Imperial Palace. As the Retired Emperor of the Great Tang, he was like a country bumpkin in front of Lu Xiu!!
"If he really can cure Yuyao's terminal illness, it's not impossible to marry Yuyao to him.”
"Hmph, what are you looking down on? I wanted to be his father-in-law, but he didn't agree. Otherwise, your daughter wouldn't have gotten the chance.”
"What? He really didn't know what was good for him. The Eldest Princess was a noble person. To be able to marry the Eldest Princess, who knew how many people had accumulated their fortune over several lifetimes.”
"Haha, don't blame him, because this old master hasn't revealed my identity. When you meet him later, don't let it slip.”
Li Yuan did not intend to get along with Lu Xiu as the Retired Emperor. He was worried that their relationship would start to drift apart because of the difference in status.
How should he put it? He liked to chat with Lu Xiu. The two of them spoke without any scruples and could say whatever they wanted.
"Understood, Retired Emperor."
Then, Li Yuan brought them to Lu Manor.
Li Xiaogong was once again shocked when he saw the people holding locusts and lining up in a long line. When he saw that locusts could be exchanged for food, Li Xiaogong finally understood why the people of Anping County were so eager to catch locusts.
Putting aside whether he had the ability or not, just his style of saving the world and helping the people had already made Li Xiaogong admire him.
"Ergou, where's your Young Master?" In the spacious courtyard, Li Yuan only saw Li Ergou and a few other servants. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart. Could it be that he had stage fright after knowing that Yuyao had arrived?
"Minister Li, our young master went to the fields this morning.”Li Ergou said honestly.
"Get off the ground? If your Young Master can't get as much food as he wants, why would he need to farm?”Li Yuan said.
"How should I put it? Of course, Young Master didn't have to worry about not having enough food to eat, but he couldn't possibly have to feed the other commoners all the time. Therefore, Young Master took some potatoes that were said to be very high-yielding and tried to plant them to see if they could survive.”Li Ergou explained.
The ability to eat fruits could conjure ingredients that Lu Xiu had eaten before, but whether they could be planted was still to be confirmed.
"I see. It's better to teach someone to fish than to teach them to fish. Er Gou, find someone to bring this old man to take a look.”
"Alright."
