When she opened the courtyard gate, she found a lot of people standing outside. When they saw her like this, their mouths were so surprised that they could fit an egg in them!
Wu Juan grabbed her long knife and ran quickly into the house, slashing wildly at the air!
"You filthy things, come out here!"
"You dare to cause trouble under my nose? I'll chop you all up and kill you!"
"How dare you absorb our clan leader's life essence! I think you don't want to be reincarnated!"
Wu Ling immediately stepped forward and, with practiced ease, scooped Lin Ru up in his arms and ran towards the prefectural doctor's office!
If this were before, Lin Ru would never feel tired even after three days and three nights without rest, but since she lost her cultivation, she feels completely drained!
She grabbed Wu Ling's shirt and buried her head greedily in her arms, taking a deep breath of that familiar bamboo scent!
Then his head lolled to the side and he fell asleep!
This terrified Wu Ling, who thought she had fainted!
He couldn't help but quicken his pace!
Quan Jinyu, Hongniang, Qi Duwei and others came to report something, but they didn't expect to see such a scene. They all ran to the prefectural doctor's office in a panic!
When they rushed there, they saw Wu Ling holding a long knife to the neck of the physician!
"What did you say? Her Majesty the Empress is unresponsive, and you're telling me she's asleep? She's clearly fainted!"
"You quack!"
The imperial physician replied tremblingly, "He's just asleep! Judging from his pulse, His Majesty hasn't rested or eaten for many days."
"I'm really not making this up!"
Please let me go.
"If you don't believe me, you can find another doctor!"
Qi Duwei hurried into the house and saw Lin Ru lying quietly on the bamboo chair. Moreover, when he got closer, he could even hear a slight gurgling sound!
He burst out laughing and quickly went out to take the knife from Wu Ling's hand!
"Alright, alright! Calm down! Go in and check, she's just asleep. You're getting a little too worried!"
"Quickly carry His Majesty back! And get him some food!"
"His Majesty will probably look for food now that he's awake!"
Wu Ling put down the knife in his hand and went into the house. He saw that Lin Ru's face was slightly red when she slept, and she was very restless in her sleep. Her long sleeves were even rolled up, revealing her snow-white and slender arms!
He quickly stepped forward, took off his outer garment, wrapped Lin Ru tightly inside, and then carried her away!
When Lin Ru regained consciousness, it was already completely dark!
She sat up, looking around in a daze.
Just as she was about to call for help, a figure suddenly emerged from the darkness!
First, he lit the candle next to him, and then slowly walked over with the candle in his hand!
Lin Ru then realized that the person who had come was actually Wu Ling!
She yawned widely, stretched, and then asked, "What time is it? Why are you still here? I seem to remember opening the door and going out."
On the other side, Wu Juan, who had been dozing off, also stood up from the corner and recounted the whole story of what had happened that day!
Lin Ru felt utterly humiliated. So many people had seen her looking so strange and bizarre. How could she face all her fellow villagers after this?
Moreover, even though he was asleep, he was mistaken for fainting. It was only because he was snoring that the misunderstanding was cleared up!
She covered her face in exasperation.
Just then, a gurgling sound suddenly echoed in the empty room!
She rubbed her empty stomach and said pitifully, "I'm a little hungry!"
"Could you get me some food first?"
Wu Juan replied with a smile, "Don't worry, the food has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for you to get up."
After saying that, she ran out, and soon the food was served!
Lin Ru took a deep breath, threw off the blanket, and quickly walked to the table to start eating heartily!
Wu Ling frowned as he looked at Lin Ru's bare feet. He picked up the shoes and socks from the side, squatted down next to Lin Ru, carefully and meticulously held her small, jade-like feet, and solemnly put the shoes and socks on her feet!
While giving instructions to Wu Juan, Lin Ru was eating very diligently and didn't realize what was happening until she had already put on her shoes and socks!
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but looking at the somewhat innocent face in front of her, she swallowed all the words in her mouth!
In the end, he was sent away, and Quan Jinyu was brought over!
She has something very important to announce!
After a while, Wu Ling carried the person over. Quan Jinyu was still unaware of what had happened and was in a daze. When he came to his senses, he was already in Lin Ru's room!
He was about to kowtow in greeting when Lin Ru stopped him, saying, "Don't be so polite. Come sit next to me. I have something good to show you!"
Quan Jinyu straightened his clothes a little and walked over. After he sat down, he saw Lin Ru mysteriously take out four small packages from her sleeve!
She opened the four small paper packets one by one. Quan Jinyu rubbed her eyes, and when she saw what was inside, she was completely awake!
"Oh my god! Am I seeing things? This is pepper? And what about the ones next to it? What are those red things? And what about the other two? They look pretty similar to pepper."
"Your Majesty! Where did you get so many? How much did this cost?"
Lin Ru smiled mysteriously, "What do you think I've been doing all these days? Were all those things you said just for nothing?!"
"The one that's slightly reddish next to the peppercorn is called Sichuan peppercorn, the other one is called Sichuan pepper, and the really red one is called chili pepper!"
"This is all thanks to all of us. It's a blessing from heaven because it saw how pitiful we were!"
"This is just a part of it. I'm going to give these to you and see if you can sell them!"
"Don't sell them in one place, or they'll lose their value. Tell your men to go to several different places and try to sell them all. We won't be short of money for now!"
Quan Jinyu's eyes widened in surprise, and her breathing became heavier with excitement!
Seeing his excited expression, Lin Ru smiled mysteriously, "Don't get too excited yet, there's more to come! I have seeds for this thing, and I want to cultivate it! What do you think?"
"Once it matures, we'll have a steady stream of money! And we can even teach this method to the people below!"
