What kind of hero saves the damsel in distress?
It was nothing more than a series of meticulously planned schemes!
Hai Mingming gave a look to the person behind him, and the defender immediately understood what he meant, raising his hand to knock Hai Mingzhu unconscious.
He slammed his head hard against the ground, tears welling in his eyes!
"Your Majesty! It's my fault for not disciplining them properly!"
"I really don't need your forgiveness!"
"I only beg you to spare my daughter's life!"
"I've been both a father and a mother to her all these years! And she's only ever had this one daughter!"
"This is my only bloodline with my beloved wife, and her only legacy in this world!"
"So it's a bit of spoiling!"
"I……"
Lin Ru quickly stepped forward and helped the person up!
"Lord Hai, you don't need to do this!"
"I understand your predicament, but this isn't how you raise children. Besides, your daughter's mind is already set. No matter how you try to change her, you can't change her love-obsessed nature!"
"I can forgive her this time, but I will never forgive her a second time."
"You should understand that no one will always be as forgiving as her parents!"
"We still need to let her learn to grow on her own."
"Let's not say anything more."
What exactly is going on with you?
Where is Ning Gui?
Upon hearing this, Hai Jingming's eyes immediately welled up with tears!
He never expected that his daughter could be forgiven for such a big mistake!
This shows His Majesty's trust and favor towards him!
However, the mere mention of Ning Gui caused my previously calmed-down heart to race again!
"His matter really has nothing to do with me."
"Your Majesty! I know you believe in my loyalty, but I still need to explain!"
"Liu Shengxuan is the son of the Marquis of Zhennan, but he is not favored at home, so he wants to venture out and prove to his father that he is indeed capable of standing on his own!"
"They must have found out about my daughter's situation after making inquiries from various sources!"
"What a chance encounter!"
"To be honest, I'm really ashamed about this! Ning Gui noticed something was wrong early on and reminded me several times, but I didn't pay much attention to it!"
"Now they've truly reaped what they sowed!"
"He also suffered because of my stupidity!"
"I made a deal with Liu Shengxuan. As long as he can let me confirm the safety of my men every few days, I'm willing to put on an act in front of them and avoid a complete breakdown in the fight!"
"He should be in jail right now!"
Wu Ling nodded in agreement, "Yes, Miss, I saw Ning Gui in the prison. He's in very bad shape. We need to get him out as soon as possible so he can rest and recuperate."
"Oh, right, and Ning Xuan too!"
"She is a girl, Ning Gui's only daughter!"
Lin Ru was somewhat surprised. The unkempt, dirty-looking boy with very short hair was actually a girl!
And she was a lady from a prominent family!
They fooled her!
That's pretty impressive!
She nodded and ordered someone to carry Ning Gui out of the prison. When they brought him before her, she was shocked by the injuries on Ning Gui's body. The wounds were oozing pus and stinking, and there were even some wriggling white maggots on them!
Looking at the person in front of him, Ning felt as if he were in a dream. He really did not expect that such a god-like person would actually rush over at full speed because of his letter!
"Your Majesty! Goddess! You've finally arrived! I never thought I'd see you again in my lifetime. You received my letter, didn't you? My daughter has already given it to you, hasn't she?"
“I really didn’t expect, I really didn’t expect, that you would actually come in person because of my letter.”
"Don't worry, I really didn't say a word! My mouth is sealed tight! No matter how much they beat me, I didn't say a word!"
"I will not collude with them! I will always be loyal to you! Even if it costs me my life, I will remain loyal to you!"
How is my daughter now?
"The Marquis of Zhennan harbors wolfish ambitions; we must be on guard!"
"I never expected that I would misunderstand Lord Hai!"
"Lord Hai, I am truly sorry. I did not mean to say that you had betrayed us. It was just that the circumstances at the time made it difficult for me to discern the truth, so I had no choice but to write to His Majesty for help!"
"But everything is alright now, everything is in the past, and we will be fine from now on."
Ning Gui is suffering from severe pain from his wound, which has become infected due to lack of treatment. He is now running a high fever and is delirious. He is also slurring his words, saying whatever comes to mind.
Lin Ru quickly took out a pill that could cure all diseases from her spatial storage!
He personally stepped forward and fed the pill into his mouth!
"Alright! Stop talking. Now that I'm here, just rest easy. I'll take care of everything. This is a pill I'm giving you. Once you take this pill, all your ailments will be cured!"
"Ning Gui! I will definitely make it up to you slowly in the future!"
Ning Gui accepted the pill with both hands, his eyes welling up with tears!
This is a divine elixir bestowed by the goddess; it is a divine medicine!
What makes him so special that he can take this miracle drug?!
He looked at the medicine in his hand, wanting to give it to his wife, his parents, and his daughter!
He was afraid that others might suffer the same inhumane treatment as him!
Before he could think of any excuse, a slender, pale hand stuffed the pill into his mouth. Once inside, the pill transformed into a warm current that flowed through every part of his body!
Even if you feel like vomiting, it's too late. And where this warm current flows, the wounds are slowly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
This left everyone present stunned. It was as if a celestial being had descended to earth, and the pill was a divine elixir. Under normal circumstances, this person would most likely not survive, but after consuming the hot pill, the pus-filled, whitish area was visibly growing tender flesh!
Everyone knelt down on the ground!
I kneel down in even greater sincerity and devotion to Lin Ru!
"Your Majesty is mighty! Your Majesty is mighty!"
Lin Ru looked at the people kneeling below, her eyes filled with an unfathomable darkness!
She took out this pill for three reasons: first, to reward Ning Gui; second, to let these people know that anyone loyal to her could be saved, even if they were on the verge of death; and third, as a form of deterrence, laying the groundwork for what was to come.
After the crowd quieted down a bit, she began to announce the next steps of the plan!
"You've all seen it!"
"As long as you remain loyal to me, I will never treat you unfairly!"
"Ning Gui is a prime example!"
