Everyone chimed in!
"I think what the Crown Prince said makes perfect sense!"
"We cannot always boost the morale of others while diminishing our own, nor can we always hold back because of unfounded accusations!"
"Why don't we launch a surprise attack tonight?"
"Or they could send some people into the city to cause trouble. The reason this little girl has achieved what she has today is because she has won the hearts of the people!"
"She didn't realize that those people were like weather vanes, following whoever offered the best deal!"
"Of course, if anyone is against him, he will naturally turn his back on them on the spot!"
Marquis Zhennan thought this statement made perfect sense!
The group discussed the matter in the main hall until late into the night, and finally came up with a solution that was very beneficial to them!
The next day at noon, Lin Ru had just finished eating and was resting in her room when she focused her consciousness on the Taoxi Trading Plaza. She was extremely pleased with the dazzling array of weapons on display!
These weapons include not only cold weapons, but also firearms!
However, due to technological limitations in her time, many firearms simply could not be manufactured!
Purchasing those weapons requires a lot of complicated procedures!
She's in another dimension now and can't handle these procedures at all!
So I can only look at it to satisfy my craving!
After she had seen enough, she bought a lot of materials for making weapons at the trading square!
Those materials were purified with spiritual energy, so there were no random materials in them. Although forging weapons would be extremely difficult in the current environment, if they were to be forged, they would definitely be divine weapons!
She only realized it when she went to checkout after carefully selecting everything. She'd bought far too much lately, and her cryptocurrency was almost gone!
All that could be done was to hang many antiques on the trading square!
These things were all sent over by Hai Jingming!
Many of these items were left behind by Prince Shun, but even more were his own!
Lin Ru counted the quantity and value of the items, and combined with the information she had gathered about Hai Jingming's family's assets, she could tell that he had sent over most of his family's wealth in order to save his daughter's life!
It's a pity that his daughter didn't know her father's good intentions. After she regained consciousness and learned about the fate of her beloved, she tried to kill herself, using her own life to force Hai Jingming to let her out so she could see Liu Shengxuan one last time!
Moreover, he threatened to kill her to avenge Liu Shengxuan!
Hai Jingming has been so worried these past two days that even his hair has turned quite white!
They're no longer as spirited as they were when we first met!
The smiling Buddha's face was no longer smiling at all!
Seeing him like this, Lin Ru didn't know how to persuade him. After all, if it were her daughter, and she started threatening suicide over a man she had only met a few times, disregarding her own life and even threatening him with her own, she would most likely kill this ungrateful wretch!
What's the use of people like that? They're a waste of time living, a waste of land, and a waste of money living in this state!
So she didn't understand at all why Hai Jingming was so conflicted!
The person he loves is his wife, so the child is an independent individual!
It's not like he's his wife reincarnated, why is he so worried?
As she sold the antique vases in the space, she kept cursing in her heart!
Just then, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
"Your Majesty, are you inside?"
"His Majesty!?"
Lin Ru withdrew her consciousness from the trading square, straightened her clothes, and went downstairs to open the door!
When she opened the door, she saw Ning Gui outside, with a somewhat anxious face!
"Why are you here? What's wrong?! Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Didn't I tell you to rest and recuperate properly? Although that pill can heal your wounds, you haven't eaten properly for so many days, so you're definitely not getting enough nutrition!"
"If there's anything, just have a servant come and tell me."
Ning Gui said anxiously, "Your Majesty! After taking your elixir, I feel that my body has almost recovered. Besides, I really don't trust anyone else to tell you about this!"
"Listen to me! This morning, for some reason, a group of people suddenly started spreading rumors everywhere!"
"They call you a witch, but it's because of your existence that the drought is happening!"
"The reason why the rain fell from the sky at that time was because your body was in a very weak state!"
"God thought you were about to die, so He sent rain!"
"And that divine artifact in your hand has also been stigmatized!"
“Even the divine messenger they used to worship has now become a demon!”
"A large crowd has gathered outside, demanding justice!"
"Since you prayed for rain last time, although it rained for a few days and the drought situation has improved somewhat, it was only for a few days. It wasn't enough to kill everyone from thirst, but the crops still show no signs of improvement!"
"As time went on, everyone looked at the completely lost harvest and went into a state of frenzy, making them easily misled!"
"Those people must have taken advantage of this psychology of the people and spread all sorts of rumors!"
"The battle is now critical! If the people in the city riot, we will be attacked from both sides. At that time, not only will we be unable to defeat the Marquis of Zhenbei, but we will also be unable to quell the internal strife!"
Lin Ru didn't even frown when she heard this!
In fact, ever since she demonstrated her abilities, she had already anticipated this day. These people were too ignorant and foolish. If she could use them, then others could too!
I just didn't expect this day to come so soon!
However, since the opponent has made a move, I naturally won't dodge it!
"I understand what you're talking about. Go outside and wait for me!"
"I'll go back and change my clothes and then come out!"
Ning Gui felt worried when he thought of the growing crowd of people outside the door and their ignorant faces.
Although he didn't know what Lin Ru was trying to do by changing her clothes, he didn't say anything and just waited anxiously outside the door!
He waited quietly outside, feeling as if every second was an eternity!
After what seemed like an incense stick's time, the door finally opened from the inside!
Lin Ru was dressed in a moon-white dress that shimmered with light as she walked, making her already beautiful face appear even more ethereal!
