Gu Lili rushed forward anxiously, wanting to help Lord Lin, but unfortunately the distance was too far.
Just then, Lord Lin's attendant went to relieve himself, and seeing that Lord Lin was about to collapse to the ground, Gu Lili couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The place where Lord Lin is is right there with some loose rocks. If someone were to fall on them, they would definitely be seriously injured.
At this critical moment, Chang'an darted forward and quickly grabbed a piece of Lord Lin's clothes.
This averted a dangerous situation.
In his dazed state, Lord Lin saw a familiar face, but he was too weak to move.
"Your Highness...Your Highness?..."
After saying these words, Lord Lin completely fainted.
Chang'an was completely bewildered. What was Lord Lin talking about?
What world?
Before Chang'an could think it through, Lord Lin was taken over by a guard who had come to relieve himself.
"My lord!" the attendant called out anxiously.
Gu Lili walked up to Lord Lin at this moment. She quickly pried open Lord Lin's eyelids with her hands to take a look. Fortunately, his pupils had not dilated.
Gu Lili carefully observed Lord Lin's breathing again and saw that his chest was rising and falling steadily, so there should be no danger to his life.
The servant said, "Princess, it's nothing. This often happens to our master. She hasn't slept for two days. She must be so exhausted that she's fallen into a deep sleep. She'll be fine after an hour or two of sleep."
Lord Lin has been without sleep for two days and two nights, and similar things have happened before.
“How can you say nothing’s wrong? If this continues, there’s a possibility of sudden death,” Gu Lili said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, the servant's face turned deathly pale.
Every time Lord Lin falls into a deep sleep, he only needs to sleep for a while before waking up full of energy again.
He never associated this matter with the word "death." He had followed Lord Lin for over a decade, and Lord Lin had helped him find a wife and have children. To put it presumptuously, Lord Lin was like a father or brother to him. If something were to really happen to Lord Lin, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
The attendant quickly placed Lord Lin's head on his lap, freeing his hands to bow to Gu Lili and ask, "Princess, is there any way to allow Lord Lin to rest a little longer?"
Given Lord Lin's condition, I estimate he should wake up in about an hour.
Because he was worried about the sweet potatoes in the field, he couldn't sleep soundly.
Now that a solution has been found, let Lord Lin rest a bit more, and I'll take care of things for him.
There's no need for Lord Lin to personally take care of things anymore.
Gu Lili thought for a moment. She took out a small white pill from her sleeve; it was a sleeping pill.
"This medicine helps with sleep. You should give this pill to your father and then take him home to rest. Leave the sweet potato and groceries to me."
The servant thanked Gu Lili, took the pill, and fed it to Lord Lin.
Seeing that Lord Lin had swallowed involuntarily, the servant and Chang'an worked together to lift Lord Lin onto the Lin family's carriage.
Watching the Lin family's carriage depart, Chang'an couldn't help but sigh to Gu Lili.
"Lord Lin is truly a good official! Even when he fainted, he was still concerned about the fate of the nation!"
Even though he's dizzy, he's still thinking about the Heavenly Enemy Ceremony. Lord Lin, you truly deserve the title of Minister of the State!
Gu Lili nodded in agreement, adding, "Yes, he is indeed a good official!"
After the meal, Gu Lili, Chang'an, and Gu Chenxi went from house to house looking for people. They also told everyone to bring the ashes from their fires and sell them to Gu Lili for two coins a bag.
After Gu Lili and the others finished giving their notifications, they returned home, where more than a dozen people were already waiting for them.
Each person carried a large bag of wood ash, a bucket, and a water ladle.
The buckets and ladles were specially requested by Gu Lili to be brought by everyone, as Gu Lili's family did not have enough ladles and it would not be worthwhile to buy more.
"Chenxi, go and settle the bill for the wood ash for everyone first," Gu Lili said, taking out a bag of loose change and handing it to Gu Chenxi.
While paying, I waited for the people who hadn't arrived yet.
When Tie Dan's mother saw Gu Chenxi about to give her money, she quickly waved her hand and smiled apologetically at Gu Lili, "Lili, this pot ash is everywhere, why would you need to pay for it? If you need it, I'll save the pot ash from my house for you from now on, no money required!"
Gu Lili has already helped her a lot, so why should Gu Lili pay for this pot of ashes?
The villagers echoed Tie Dan's mother, saying, "Yes, it's just some soot. If it weren't for Li Li wanting it, we would have shoveled it away and thrown it away. It doesn't cost any money."
Seeing everyone's repeated rejections, Gu Lili couldn't help but be moved.
"No, everyone must accept the money. This wood ash is very useful to me. If you don't accept it, I won't dare to ask you for help in the future."
A nail is a nail, a rivet is a rivet; Gu Lili decided it was better to be clear about the details.
In order to prevent anyone from using this incident in the future to pressure Gu Lili into agreeing to some unreasonable demands.
Hearing Gu Lili's words, everyone had no choice but to give up.
After Gu Chenxi finished distributing the money, Chang'an took everyone to see the bamboo.
Today's water consumption is also extremely high. If we use the bamboo watering method from yesterday, it will definitely save a lot of time.
The bamboo was cut, and a group of more than twenty people, some carrying bamboo, others carrying wood ash and water buckets, set off in a grand procession towards the sweet potato field.
Having learned from yesterday's experience, Chang'an quickly led his men to cut and trim the bamboo.
After the bamboo was cut, Gu Lili had everyone divide the bamboo irrigation canals into several sections, and then began to sprinkle water with wood ash on the sweet potato leaves.
This busy period lasted until late afternoon.
Gu Lili wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and looked out into the sweet potato field.
It's almost completely healed, and I can finally get some rest.
Just as Gu Lili was about to continue her work, she saw Lord Lin jogging towards the sweet potato field.
Gu Lili couldn't help but chuckle. This Lord Lin was really worried about this matter. Even after taking sleeping pills, he only woke up after three or four hours.
Gu Lili had originally estimated that Lord Lin would probably be able to sleep for a whole day and night.
After all, his servant had just said that morning that Lord Lin hadn't slept for two days and two nights.
"Your Highness, I am truly sorry. I slept so soundly that I left this matter to you."
As Gu Lili was thinking, Lord Lin had already walked up to her.
Gu Lili glanced at Lord Lin's complexion; it was much better than when she saw him that morning.
It seems he slept quite soundly.
Gu Lili said gently, "Lord Lin, what are you saying? Although you were sent by His Majesty to study how sweet potatoes grow, these sweet potatoes are not all from my family, so why should I be troubled?"
