Chapter 261: Chapter 196: A Few Matters Before the Resurrection (Part 2)

Sending gifts to Song Yan and letters to Wen Ranchen is the task at hand.

This is what the Princess has instructed.

The Princess has mentioned that she will wake up again, but the exact time is uncertain, so she has entrusted Shi Wang to help with some matters during her slumber.

Naturally, Shi Wang agreed gladly.

He also trusts the Princess’s words wholeheartedly.

As long as the Princess says she will awaken, then she certainly will, so there is no reason to be saddened.

He did not understand why Song Yan and Wen Ranchen had such expressions, nor did he ask.

Of course, he didn’t see what the Princess wanted to give them; he was just an emotionless runner.

After running the errands, he left quickly.

Shen Jingxian’s gift to Song Yan was a Duke’s title.

This title had been in the hands of Shen Jingxian since childhood, without a suitable opportunity to give it away. If she had escaped this calamity, she would have delivered this gift herself, but in reality, she did not escape, so the sender became Shi Wang.

Song Yan was always calm during the day; she believed herself to be calm, pursuing revenge, and contemplating, planning.

Yet, when she received the Princess’s final gift, she realized she was not as composed as she thought.

Her nose tingled, her vision blurred, and Song Yan stood dumbfounded, allowing tears to slide down her cheeks but not daring to make a sound.

Her fragility will sleep along with the Princess.

——

What Wen Ranchen received was a letter.

A letter personally written by Shen Jingxian.

The letter wasn’t lengthy, yet very joyful.

Dear husband,

Hope this finds you well.

On the first day of slumber, dampness lingers, I wonder how the Capital City fares? Remember not to be melancholy, eat more white fruits, wishing you well.

Obviously only a few words, yet Wen Ranchen read it for a very long time, from nightfall to the point where the oil lamp was about to extinguish, finally folding the letter carefully and placing it into a sandalwood box.

The next day at breakfast, Wen Ranchen only ate white fruits.

Not long after that, Awa County experienced flooding, the Princess voluntarily requested to go, and the Emperor, who always preferred his daughter, surprisingly agreed.

Old foxes in the court, with sharp instincts, immediately realized that the Emperor had made his decision.

The Princess did not disappoint, soothing the afflicted people remarkably well and motivating all the disaster victims to rebuild their homes together.

Clearly a disaster-stricken area, yet not displaying the usual morbid appearance, instead brimming with vitality.

It is said that on the day the Princess left, the people of Awa County stood still and pleaded for her to stay.

But this was only the beginning.

After that, a plague ravaged Yunyi Country, and the Princess led a team to develop medicine to combat the plague, saving tens of thousands of lives, living closely with the people during the plague, not abandoning a single person.

This move by the Princess was profoundly touching.

The Princess also proposed several policies beneficial to the country and its people, which the Emperor implemented, subsequently gaining the people’s approval.

Princess Yi Fen’s reputation gradually spread throughout Yunyi Country, this time not merely reflecting on the Princess’s beauty.

“If only Princess Yi Fen could become the next Emperor, then the people would surely live well.”

“Hey, what are you saying, do you dare to speak like this?”

“I don’t believe I’m the only one thinking like this.”

“Even if that’s the case, you can’t say it out loud, the Prince is still here…”

“I see Princess Yi Fen’s capabilities being evidently superior, yet I don’t even know the names of the Princes.”

“You must be out of your mind, I won’t bother talking to you, mind what you say.”

Such voices are heard more than in just one place.

Meanwhile, Wen Ranchen and Song Yan had found out that those who attempted to assassinate the Princess were the top assassins from various countries.

The reason they assassinated the Princess is quite simple; their country’s Crown Prince did not marry the Princess, born of love turned to hatred, they were finally ordered to carry out the task.

Quite coincidentally, these assassins knew each other, met on the road, realized their target was the same person, and decided to collaborate on a silent assassination.

This explanation is full of flaws, such as how these people quietly fired so many arrows, why top assassins wouldn’t know to erase traces, and where they hid without being discovered… none of this can be explained.

But Wen Ranchen didn’t want to think too much about it.

He needed someone to exact revenge on.

No matter true or false.

Even if it’s false, it doesn’t matter, as long as he kills everyone, the one who killed the Princess would be dead too.

Wen Ranchen was thinking about dangerous plans in his mind while opening the letter the Princess gave him today.

The letter advised him to drink mung bean soup to calm himself today, so Wen Ranchen immediately set aside all matters to drink mung bean soup.

In one go, he drank ten bowls.

Two years later, the spies deployed by Wen Ranchen and Song Yan in various countries’ military and political fields played a role, finally deceiving the remaining five countries into thinking that they could jointly carve up Yunyi Country.

Unbeknownst to them, the self-considered hunters were actually being hunted.

Wen Ranchen led the expedition.

Pan Jiaojiao provided impeccable financial support.

Song Yan dismissed her disguise.

The time had arrived.

That day, news of the Princess’s assassination and uncertain life status spread from the Imperial Palace, causing the populace immense grief, all praying for the Princess.

Simultaneously, Wen Ranchen echoed claims that the assassination was a joint effort by five countries to crush Yunyi Country’s spirit.

At this time, Princess Yi Fen represented not only herself but became a symbol of the nation.

Countless scholars, brave Jianghu warriors contributed financially, physically, and intellectually in response to the Princess’s injury.

Historically, this event became known as the Great Yunyi Unity.

Yunyi Country became the nation that unified the world with the shortest time spent throughout history.

Frontline battles were intense.

No one discovered that the real Princess was in an ice coffin, beautiful beyond measure, supremely magnificent.

And the wounds originally on her body hidden beneath her clothes had completely healed, without a single scar.
