Chapter 106: New Intelligence and Su Li's Astonishing Cultivation Speed (Part 3)
Phillis, feeling a bit shy, said, "She's not feeling well with her practice, so she went to the Medical Goddess Convent to seek help from the Medical Knight for treatment."
"Lord, for the sake of the lady courtier's health, it's indeed necessary for you to find another new courtier."
After she left, Su Li reflected for a moment, sometimes being too strong is indeed a kind of burden.
Adding new lady courtiers has become an urgent task. It's best if they can accompany Su Li in turns for practice, with each person having two to three days of rest to ensure their health, while also enhancing their practice experience, making it more enjoyable for both body and mind.
While he was thinking, Hilude had already dressed and emerged from the covers, asking, "Lord, are you asking about this because Phillis has the bloodline of the Sulande Elector?"
Su Li thought for a moment and nodded lightly, saying, "You mentioned before that her waterfall-like beautiful white hair was quite unusual. The direct bloodline of the Grand Prince of Sulande had perished entirely in the waaagh of the Green Skin."
"So many nobles, so many ministers, and so many citizens of Sulande would certainly not want the legacy of their line of Electors to be abolished. If humanity repelled the attack of the green-skinned monsters, and the monsters suffered heavy losses under the capital of Sulande Province, growing tired of the endless battles, then after the war, Sulande Province would surely seek out lost bloodlines to inherit the Grand Prince of Sulande's title."
Hilude furrowed her brow slightly and asked, "So you suspect that Phillis has the bloodline of the Grand Prince of Sulande?"
Su Li sighed and said, "Yes, otherwise there's no way to explain why she was able to help me ascend to the throne. The only explanation I can think of is that she smoothly inherited the position of Sulande Elector and cast a vote for me in the emperor's election."
Hilude, upon hearing this, frowned tightly and said, "That's incredibly difficult to achieve. Even if the bloodline of the Grand Prince of Sulande were entirely wiped out, she still has many descendants from intermarriages with other nobles who have succession rights. Why would it fall to Phillis? Unless there is divine inspiration, or the council of Sulande Province specifically chose a rootless puppet."
Even Su Li didn't know, even this option was just his guess.
Soon, Su Li gave up thinking about this and said, "Forget it, let's not think about these things. Phillis herself doesn't want to leave Hesse Territory to assume the position of Elector in Sulande Province. What's more, even if she were willing, we don't have voting rights in the Empire election either."
"Instead of wasting time on these unrealistic thoughts, we should focus on how to develop and strengthen ourselves. Becoming stronger is the real hard truth."
Hilude smiled and said, "Indeed, living our own lives well will give us more opportunities, waiting for the chances the outside world brings."
Then she helped Su Li into his clothes, knelt beside him to tidy up his pants and hems, and then, with a smile, followed him out of the bedroom.
Breakfast was very sumptuous, carefully crafted with white bread filled with dried fruits and jam, signature pies from the half-elves, and a beautifully arranged plate of smoked meats, ranging from ordinary smoked bream, smoked venison to precious roasted puma meat. Additionally, there were the territory's exquisite sausages, ham, milk, and more, all showcasing the territory's current prosperity unlike ever before.
Numerous caravans' visits have greatly solved the territory's hunger problem.
While Su Li was eating the soft-boiled egg made by Phillis, Hilude reported, "Lord, our Minister of Agriculture, Vandar, and the Priestess of Tal Church, Lunadeshan, request to report some matters to you. According to the schedule, they've already been waiting for you for a while."
Su Li's practice time this morning was somewhat prolonged, compressing the following agenda and matters.
So he immediately said, "Let them in then, I actually have some matters regarding agriculture to discuss with them."
