Luo Lan smiled helplessly, then explained:
"A time bomb is a weapon that could explode at any moment, just like when you go to the battlefield, you often launch surprise attacks on the enemy."
Hearing her say this, Xiao Lingzi nodded, not quite understanding, "Princess, are you saying that Wu Yuanzhang will appear again in the future and catch us off guard?"
"That's probably what he meant. But he's not something to be feared right now. Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll go check on the prince. Have Ah Cai tell the kitchen to make some porridge. I reckon Long Xiaomin will be waking up soon."
"When will the prince wake up?"
Xiao Lingzi was a little impatient. Luo Lan thought for a moment and said with a clear look in his eyes:
“It’s almost here!”
She didn't know exactly when he would wake up, but he was now out of danger and the poison in both of them had eased. As for when he would wake up, it depended on when he subconsciously wanted to wake up.
After Xiao Lingzi left, Luo Lan closed the door, walked over the screen, went into the bedroom, and then opened the operating room.
At this time, she found that Long Xiaomin had opened her eyes and was looking around. Seeing this, Luo Lan frowned slightly. She must not let her discover this secret.
So, she backhanded it, and Long Xiaomin felt a black screen before her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, the dazzling and bright lights in front of her disappeared. She turned her head in surprise, and Luo Lan hurriedly smiled at her:
"Xiao Min, are you awake?"
Long Xiaomin looked at her and asked in a weak voice:
"Where…where am I?"
"This is my room. You were injured trying to save me, but you're fine now."
Long Xiaomin said "oh" and looked at Luo Lan. She pondered for a moment, her watery eyes turning as she murmured:
"Isn't it strange? I seemed to have had a very long dream. The scenes in the dream were so real. It seemed like another world. That world was very bright, not sunlight or candlelight. I don't know why it was so bright. I only know that the light was about to blind me."
Looking at Long Xiaomin's serious and puzzled expression, Luo Lan's dark eyes turned, and she said softly with a smile in her eyes:
"You probably went to a magical place in your dream, and some gods blessed you. Seeing that you were so cute and beautiful, they sent you back."
Her words made Long Xiaomin smile, and she asked again:
"Where's my dad? How's my mom?"
"Your mother is fine now. She's probably waiting for you outside right now. By the way, those people who did the bad things have been locked up by your father. Everything is back to normal in the manor now. You can go back to your room and rest in peace soon."
"Really? I want to go out and see my mother."
As she spoke, she was about to get up. Luo Lan did not stop her, but helped her sit up.
Her wound was on her shoulder, so apart from feeling a little dizzy from lying in bed for a long time, she should not have felt anything else.
Luo Lan helped her walk towards the door. The moment the door opened, Long Changyun and Xiaomin's mother rushed over. When Long Xiaomin saw her mother standing in front of her in good condition, she immediately hugged her with tears streaming down her face.
"Mother...Mother, it's great to see you standing up again."
"Xiao Min, I'm so worried about you. I'm really afraid something will happen to you. How will I live then?"
Long Changyun urged:
"Okay, Xiao Min's injury hasn't healed yet, go back to your room and rest."
Long Xiaomin stood up from her mother's arms, looked at Luo Lan again, bit her pale lips, and said in a weak voice:
"Princess Yu, thank you so much for saving my life, Long Xiaomin. I will never be able to repay you in this lifetime."
Luo Lan looked at her tear-filled eyes and smiled softly, "Go back and rest. You can have some porridge or some sugar water. Don't eat anything too greasy for three days. Your stomach needs to be healed."
After Long Xiaomin nodded, she was helped away by the maid, and the eldest lady also left with her.
Long Changyun stood in front of Luo Lan, suddenly clasped his fists and bowed, saying:
"Thank you, Princess Yu, for saving my daughter. From now on, you will be the benefactor of Longwu Villa. If you need anything from Longwu Villa in the future, just let me know."
"Master Long, you are too polite. The prince hasn't woken up yet, so we have to stay here for a while. I won't say any more to you. Go and get busy."
After saying this, she turned around and went back into the room. After closing the door, she quickly walked into the operating room.
Long Xiaomin woke up, and she was even more anxious for Leng Yu to wake up as well. Although his injuries were much more serious than Long Xiaomin's, he was a man with a strong willpower, and it was time for him to wake up.
After she arrived at the operating room, she performed various tests on him. The results showed that all his vital signs were normal, which meant that he might wake up at any time.
So, she safely moved him out of the operating room and let him lie back on the pearwood bed.
Sitting beside the bed, looking at Leng Yu lying on the bed, she covered him with the quilt, took his hand, and whispered softly,
"My husband, we came out on the third day after our marriage. We have been here for more than ten days. During these ten days, we have experienced several life and death situations. Fortunately, God has mercy on us and we are still alive."
Having said that, she leaned her head on his shoulder, her long eyelashes drooped slightly, and said softly:
"Husband, logically, you should be awake, but why aren't you awake? Are you tired and want to rest? Do you know how I've been through these past few days? Do you know how much I want you to wake up and talk to me?"
But no matter how she spoke in his ear, he just lay there motionless, as if he was asleep.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'm Leng Xi. I'm here to see my fourth brother. Can I come in?"
Leng Xi is coming?
Luo Lan sat up with a start. Why did this guy come so far?
She frowned slightly and stood up to open the door.
When Leng Xi saw her, he was stunned for a moment, then asked worriedly, "Sister-in-law, how is my fourth brother? Is he awake?"
Luo Lan shook his head and said, "Go in and take a look."
Leng Xi nodded, then quickly crossed the hall and headed towards the bedroom in the inner room.
When he saw Leng Yu lying on the bed with a rosy face, he sighed and turned around to leave.
"Sister-in-law, when will Fourth Brother wake up?"
"I don't know, maybe one day, maybe ten days. He's injured too badly."
Luo Lan said, pointing to the chair at the table, "Sit down and talk, have some tea."
"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work these past few days."
Luo Lan's eyes were filled with tenderness as she shook her head gently, "As long as he can wake up, this won't matter."
Leng Xi suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"Oh, by the way, sister-in-law, I see a lot of people outside the manor. They don't look friendly, and I'm worried you're trapped here. What are they doing?"
