"I myself can become that wise ruler!!!"
Lu Ci had never heard such treasonous remarks before!
He said incredulously, "But from ancient times to the present, no woman has ever been an emperor! This is against all reason and law!"
"The people will not believe it!"
"Even Heaven wouldn't allow it!"
Holding a dagger, Lin Ru pointed it at the sky and said with great pride, "The so-called royal bloodline is nothing but an excuse for them to dominate the world!"
"Could it be that after the creation of the world in ancient times, this world belonged to the Liu family?"
"I also overthrew the previous royal bloodline to achieve their current hegemony!"
"And who says a woman can't be an empress!?"
"I, Lin Ru, will become the first person in history!"
"I want to ask you! Does God agree?"
Just from that question, the originally sunny weather suddenly turned cloudy, as if thunder was about to strike at any moment!
Seeing this, the people outside were overjoyed and went out into the streets, hoping for a rainstorm!
Only Lu Ci looked at the sky with great tension. The sudden gathering of dark clouds was clearly the sky throwing a tantrum!
But the next second, the dark cloud suddenly seemed to have a hole punched in it, and then it disappeared instantly!
Lu Ci will never forget this day, when this radiant young girl, holding a dagger, pointed to the sky and uttered such bold words, which she would later fulfill one by one!
Now that Heaven has given its approval, what objection could Lu Ci possibly have? He had seen far too many illogical things in the past day, and even if Lin Ru suddenly departed on a cloud, he wouldn't see anything wrong with it!
He gently placed Prince Kang on the ground, and then knelt down in front of Lin Ru with great piety and respect!
"I, Lu Ci, am willing to submit to the Goddess! May you not forget your original aspirations and truly become a wise ruler revered by all!"
Lin Ru slowly lowered her hand, her face appearing calm and collected, but inside she was panicking!
She never expected that she would react to her just by putting on a little show and venting her frustrations!
That's terrifying!
She almost thought the heavens were going to strike her down!
However, even if she were to be struck down, it wouldn't be unjust. For someone like her who transmigrates to another world, the best option is to follow the original trajectory and prevent the story from deviating from its course, so that the Heavenly Dao won't notice and eliminate her!
She not only disrupted the story's development but also changed its ending, and even defied the will of Heaven by wielding a dagger!
This is utterly outrageous! And the most crucial thing is that the dagger in her hand is practically a lightning bolt!
What's the difference between this and standing under a big tree to take shelter from the rain during a downpour?
In her heart, she bowed again and again to the Heavenly Dao, "Heavenly Dao Father! I was just pretending! I wanted to win people's hearts! I didn't really want to challenge your authority! Heavenly Dao Father, please don't force me! Please bless my family with abundant wealth! May I have more money than I can spend in my lifetime! Thank you, Heavenly Dao Father!"
Lin Ru prayed in her heart again and again!
And then he still had that nonchalant look on his face!
"Alright! Lu Ci! Get up now."
She took out another pill from her bosom and handed it over!
"This is the antidote! Since you already want to follow me, I shouldn't use drugs to control you anymore! Don't worry! Once you take this antidote, the toxins in your body will be gone! Everything will return to normal."
Lu Ci was actually a little panicked about the antidote in his body. He quickly took the pill with both hands and respectfully put it into his mouth!
This medicine is different from the first one he took. This medicine melts in his mouth and makes him feel very comfortable. It is also subtly changing the thoughts in his mind!
And this elixir is none other than the Loyalty Elixir!
The people outside were all looking forward to it, thinking it was going to rain!
But then, out of nowhere, the dark cloud disappeared! This was absolutely unprecedented and explosive news!
It quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys!
Meanwhile, Lin Ru quickly went to Wu Juan's door, knocked on it, and pulled the dazed Wu Juan out!
"With such a commotion outside, how can you still sleep?"
"Quickly! Go and contact Qi Fang!"
"He must be extremely worried!"
"I've got Lu Ci sorted out! But I haven't managed to get the local people and other officials sorted out."
"If you go out and spread the word again, say that I'm going to pray for rain on the city wall tomorrow morning!"
"Let all the officials and ordinary people come over, the more the better."
"This girl is about to unleash her power!"
Wu Juan rubbed her eyes and then let out a big yawn!
"It's just praying for rain, isn't it? It's such a small matter, there's no need for you to do it personally, Miss."
"Wait a minute!"
"What?"
"Pray for rain?"
Wu Juan was sobered up by those two words!
"Miss, do you know what you're saying?"
"That's for praying for rain!"
Even if you know some tricks, it's useless.
"Besides, this is decided by God, how can you ask for it?"
"If the rainmaking fails, those hopeful people might do something terrible."
"Miss, please reconsider!"
Lin Ru smiled and patted her on the shoulder!
"Don't worry, I've already thought it over."
"You didn't see it just now? The sky was covered with dark clouds, that's a sign it's going to rain!"
“When I was little, an old Taoist priest passed by my house and asked me for a bowl of water. After that, he taught me many skills, including praying for rain and observing celestial phenomena.”
"I just wanted to give it a try."
Don't worry!
"As long as I succeed in my request, you can sleep here without worry! You can sleep for seven days and seven nights without being disturbed by anyone!"
Don't you trust me?
After thinking about it, Wu Juan finally nodded and did as Lin Ru said!
The news caused a huge uproar as soon as it was spread, and not only in Changzhou, but also in Kyoto!
The Marquis of Zhenxi looked at the message relayed back by his spy!
His face was full of mockery, "This farmer's daughter is really something!"
"Does she really think she's some kind of goddess?"
"You actually think you can ask for rain?"
"The whole country is suffering from a severe drought, and it hasn't rained for several months. Actually, she could have gotten what she wanted if she had asked for it."
"That's just wishful thinking."
At this moment, Lin Dali, who was standing next to him, laughed and chimed in, "He's just a farmer's son! He probably hasn't seen much of the world, which is why he dares to presume to ask for rain!"
