Chapter 158 This chapter is a confession
Lin Ruhai cried non-stop in front of the emperor in the hall.
The emperor held his forehead with a look of disgust, and threatened, "If you don't tell me, I won't give you the lotus root."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Your Majesty...I don't believe you!
Lin Ruhai wiped his tears and said, "I have no other options. I have consulted the abbot of Baoxiang Temple. He said... that we need something with dragon energy, and Madam, take it, and it will stabilize her spirit..."
Your Majesty, "I have so many things to do, why do you only want the lotus root?"
Lin Ruhai pinched his hands and said, "I think the lotus root was raised by His Majesty himself, so it has more of His Majesty's expectations... There are silk threads inside the lotus root... The effect is better..."
The emperor knew what was not said in secret. The thread is still connected, so the thread is important. Lin Ruhai's wife's pulse was normal, and seeking medical advice was useless. Naturally, he turned to ghosts and gods.
"Oh... what a good excuse..." The emperor simply couldn't bear to watch it, and said that Lin Ruhai had no power to refute. In the end, he couldn't say that he lent a piece of clothing to Lin Ruhai and asked him to cook it for him?
"Your Majesty, you are the true Dragon Emperor, blessed by the true gods and Bodhisattvas..."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, my eyes hurt."
Lin Ruhai kowtowed, ran out of the hall, turned around and went to the Imperial Garden, asking people to dig lotus roots for him.
The emperor was so angry that he smashed three memorials and said, "Dig it out!"
"Tell him to get away!"
"I'm so pissed off!"
…
Lin Ruhai personally supervised the work and had people dig out a bunch of lotus roots. He then called in workers to spin the lotus roots on the spot. He did not stop until he had pulled out a bowl of lotus root strands.
Afterwards, the emperor looked at the withered lotus pond and his smile was uglier than his tears.
It was thought that all the lotuses in the pond would die in the year, but when midsummer came, the emperor took good care of them and finally the lotuses bloomed, filling the entire pond.
Only then did the emperor forgive Lin Ruhai who was still at home.
Here, Lin Ruhai held a bowl of hot, freshly pulled lotus root threads in his arms. When he got home, he ate them in front of Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu.
He set up a pot, put some talismans with unknown patterns on them in it, and boiled them for three hours before a bowl of water came out. He watched Shen Ajiao drink it up without leaving a drop.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and lay down beside Shen Ajiao's bed, "Madam, please come back soon. I even risked my life for you."
He recounted what had happened in the palace in bits and pieces. Thinking of the look in the emperor's eyes, Lin Ruhai was afraid that the next time he entered the palace, he would be beheaded because he had entered with his feet first.
Facing Lin Ruhai's crying, Shen Ajiao was stunned at first, then she realized, "What did you just say? Did you get the lotus roots from the Imperial Garden to boil water for you to drink?"
Lin Ruhai nodded, "So how do you feel now?"
A-Jiao Shen slapped her forehead, collapsed on the bed, and let out a long sigh. Why on earth was she doing this?
[Oh, let me go. ]
Shen Ajiao really wanted to confess to Lin Ruhai that she was not sick, she just wanted to leave.
But in Lin Ruhai's ears, it was said that his wife said she had suffered enough and would not live anymore...she wanted him to prepare for her funeral.
Lin Ruhai: Wuwuwuwu
He took Shen Ajiao's hand, held it tightly, and turned his face away so that Shen Ajiao would not see his eyes wet with tears.
"Madam, it's okay. There must be a way. I'm already looking for Hui. There must be a way."
Shen Ajiao sat up in shock again, "Hui 땣? What do you want to do with 놛?"
I don't think he's asking 놛 to show it to 놖.
Shen Ajiao sighed deeply. Recently, Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu thought she was ill, and they were both very worried.
Lin Daiyu could no longer go to school, so Lin Ruhai stayed with her, and he even looked for doctors for her everywhere.
We were friends, and it would be too hurtful if she didn't tell me she was leaving.
Lin Daiyu and Lin Ruhai had both done this, if she said nothing, she would be a complete jerk. She couldn't just watch Lin Ruhai being taken away and beheaded, so what was she doing here?
Shen Ajiao thought about it and decided to be honest. "Don't look for her anymore. It's useless."
Lin Ruhai, "How can it be useless? At that time, at that time..." At that time, I thought there would be a miracle, there must be a way.
"Go find Daiyu. I have something to tell you."
Lin Ruhai felt so distressed when he saw Shen Ajiao's state. Nothing was working. The lotus root silk was of no use at all. The wife was about to leave a will.
Not daring to delay, he asked someone to call Lin Daiyu.
Shen A-Jiao asked someone to prepare chairs for the two girls in advance and dismissed everyone inside and outside the house.
"What I am about to tell you may seem incredible and unreal to you, but it is indeed true."
Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu's eyes were red. "Madam, you should take good care of yourself. Why are you thinking about useless things?"
떘 heard Shen Ajiao's cold words passing by her ears in a second, "You all should be able to hear what is in your heart!"
Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu shuddered and looked at each other, "You"?
It turns out that everyone can hear...
Hehehe
Shen Ajiao looked at the two girls who didn't dare to look her in the eye and continued, "You just laughed it off, thinking you didn't know!"
"You guys have been pretending for so long and have worked so hard!"
Lin Ruhai, "Thank you for your hard work, ma'am."
It’s hard there, but not for us.
Lin Daiyu even wanted to get up and run away secretly, but Shen Ajiao glared at her and made her sit back down.
"Humph, you guys don't have to worry about this, but don't you think it's unreasonable?"
"Why didn't you suspect anything?"
Lin Ruhai rubbed his hands. "Before I met my wife, Hui said that I would have some adventures, so..."
"So you heard it and you accepted it?"
Shen Ajiao really wanted to find a piece of tofu and kill herself. She looked at Lin Daiyu and said, "What about you?"
Lin Daiyu poked her hand and stammered, "I don't know...I just think Madam is not a bad person."
Not a bad guy? ?
Haha, no wonder this couple trusts her so much!
"This is not the real Shen Jiao."
After Shen A-Jiao finished speaking, she wanted to see the reaction of the two girls, but they didn't react at all. They just looked at her, as if to say, "And then..."
"No, it's not true!!"
Lin Ruhai nodded, "What's the wife's name?"
"Shen Jiao."
Lin Daiyu: "We understand, madam."
Shen A-Jiao...
Said it, but it seems like I didn't say it.
I'm forcing you to use your big moves.
"It's a wandering ghost! It's the kind of ghost that's been wandering around for years, a hanged ghost! Ugh~"
Shen A-Jiao grabbed her neck with both hands, stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes, and tried to scare people.
But she saw the two expressionless girls blinking at her.
…
Lin Ruhai: Do you think it’s easy to deceive?
Lin Daiyu: I haven’t grown up, but I’m not stupid.
A-Jiao Shen: Okay, okay, I’m impressed by you two.
"You live in a book,
Just a paper man described in a book."
