Danruo took Baihe, two maids, and two servants, packed up a carriage, and left without delay.
After three hours of riding in a carriage, they finally arrived at the farm at the foot of the mountain before dark. Danruo stretched his almost falling apart body, and at Baihe's reminder, the two of them went to take a nice hot spring bath.
This is the only hot spring villa in the Shen family. Mrs. Shen loves her daughter so much that she gave it to her as a dowry.
This time the Du Mansion incident caused such a big stir that Madam Shen could no longer sit still. She even wanted to attack the Du Mansion, but was stopped by the Fourth Master Shen and Dan Ruo.
Dan Ruo asked Lily to send some fresh fruits and vegetables from the farm to Shen's mother and father. She added spiritual power to them and spent 100 merit points, which would allow Shen's mother and father to eat and stay healthy.
When I arrived at the farm, I heard from the servants that there was a heavy rain two days ago, which broke the river bank. Many families nearby were affected by the disaster. The imperial court and the benevolent and wealthy families would set up porridge stalls.
When Danruo heard this, he immediately planned to set up a porridge stall and took Lily to change into men's clothes.
A handsome young man in plain clothes and a clever servant appeared.
After building his own porridge stall, Danruo felt sorry for the elderly and children who looked so hungry, so he asked Lily to take two servants to buy some more brown rice to distribute to the elderly and children.
She was busy running around with her two maids when suddenly a riot broke out in the crowd. Someone grabbed someone else's bowl and started fighting. The two sides started fighting and the scene became chaotic. Everyone stopped queuing and started looting. The government soldiers hurried to stop them.
The same situation happened to Danruo. She was about to use her spiritual power to resist when the Samsara Pearl reminded her that Emperor Gu Jingxing had arrived at the scene with his secret guards.
She then reverted to her weak and frail appearance as a scholar, unable to even lift a finger, and two maids from the Shen family protected her tightly.
During the scuffle, a little girl was pushed out by her parents to block the knife, and she happened to be in front of Danruo. Danruo protected the little girl without thinking. When the sharp blade cut his shoulder, the villain in front of him was kicked over and he fell into a broad embrace.
Dan Ruo looked back and saw a clear jaw angle, deep eyebrows, and a high nose bridge. The whole person was deliberately restrained, but one could still feel the nobility on him. It was the emperor of this world, Gu Jingxing.
After seeing that it was him, she fainted with relief.
The guards around Gu Jingxing and the government reinforcements who rushed to the scene after hearing the news quickly calmed the turmoil.
Gu Jingxing looked at the little brother in his arms with his closed eyes, pale lips, and bleeding shoulders, and hurriedly carried him to a remote tree, intending to apply medicine to stop the bleeding.
He had just taken off his shirt when he saw the white cloth wrapped tightly around his chest. He felt something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought he was injured and wanted to tear off the white cloth to stop the bleeding on his shoulder.
The white cloth was torn a little, and he gradually realized something, but he quickly carried the person and moved him to a valley farther away.
The two old women searched hard for their wife but couldn't find her.
Gu Jingxing looked at the pinhole-sized hole in the woman's earlobe and her heaving chest, and he quietly observed his own reaction.
When he was assigned to teach female officials at the age of fifteen, he would feel itchy all over his body whenever he touched a woman's skin. He tried it many times and it worked every time. In severe cases, he would even suffocate, so he never had close contact with a woman again.
He had already admitted that he had a problem and was planning to pass the throne to his younger brother, Prince Rong. Unexpectedly, when he accidentally met this little brother disguised as a man, he did not have a seizure.
Dan Ruo's subconscious groan of pain awakened Gu Jingxing's thoughts.
He also quickly took out the best hemostatic medicine from his pocket and sprinkled it on the wound. At the same time, he bandaged it with the hem of his inner clothes, put Danruo's clothes back on, and restored the white cloth on the chest to its original state.
A considerable amount of time had passed after all this was done. Gu Jingxing saw that he still did not feel itchy, and he was secretly happy. He must bring the woman into the palace.
Dan Ruo also woke up slowly. When she raised her eyes, Gu Jingxing felt like he saw a sky full of stars. What a pure beauty.
"Thank you for saving my life, brother."
The sound is so clear and pleasant, Gu Jingxing thought.
"It's just that I accidentally looked at the girl's body while applying medicine to her. I must be responsible for her."
Upon hearing this, Dan Ruo subconsciously looked at her upper body and realized that her disguise as a man had been exposed.
Instantly, her eyes filled with tears and her face flushed with shame: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have disguised myself as a man to distribute porridge. I'm already married, but another man saw my body. I'm sorry for my husband."
Gu Jingxing's joyful heart suddenly sank to the bottom when he heard this. He saw that Danruo was still young, about 28 years old, and thought that she was a playful girl from some family, but he didn't expect that she was already married.
Seeing Dan Ruo stand up and shake his body, about to hit the tree, Gu Jingxing hurriedly pulled him back.
"The girl is kind-hearted and was injured while saving a child. There's no need to be bound by worldly etiquette. Besides, this matter is only known between you and me. As long as I don't say anything, no one else will know. The girl can just pretend it never happened.
Besides, I'm a doctor. Saving lives is the most important thing in critical situations. I didn't consider the difference between men and women. If the girl wants to blame someone, blame me. Don't take it out on yourself."
Seeing Dan Ruo's tears falling like beads from a broken string, Gu Jingxing felt a pang of pain in his heart and wanted to wipe them away. However, knowing that this girl was kind but also had a strong temper, he did not dare to do anything. He could only continue to persuade her: "Your body and hair are given by your parents. If you love your parents so much, I don't know how sad it would be to see them die young."
Dan Ruo murmured to herself when she heard this: "Mother, mother will be distressed."
After a while, she calmed down and wiped her tears with her handkerchief: "I'm sorry for making you laugh just now. For the sake of my parents, I have to live well. Please keep it a secret for me."
Gu Jingxing looked at Danruo's bright eyes like a clear spring and nodded heavily.
The two walked back to the main road one after the other, and Lily was already frantic on the side of the road. Only when she saw Danruo did her heart settle down.
Seeing the wound on Danruo's shoulder, she felt guilty and said, "It's all my fault for not protecting the master."
Dan Ruo took advantage of the situation and hugged Lily, "Silly girl, I'm fine."
The little girl who had just been rescued stood there timidly waiting for Danruo. Seeing that Danruo was standing well, she knelt on the ground with gratitude and said, "Thank you, brother, for saving me."
Danruo looked at the child's clothes, which were half-short and full of patches. Just as she was about to ask Lily to buy some clothes for the child, she heard a woman's sharp voice in the distance: "Sanya, why don't you go home quickly?"
San Ya ran away, and Dan Ruo had to give up.
Lily helped Danruo get into the carriage. Danruo felt that the gaze on her body had finally disappeared. She lifted a corner of the curtain and watched the tall and graceful man in the distance gradually disappear into the distance.
