As Wu Ling and the other commoners continued their increasingly outrageous ramblings, Wu Ling frowned. The guards nearby were itching to draw their swords and behead those who were spouting nonsense!
But without Her Majesty the Queen's decree, they dared not take any action!
All I could do was listen quietly to their nonsense!
"It's gone up!"
Just when they couldn't hold back any longer, a surprised voice suddenly burst out from the crowd!
"Look! It's gone up!"
"What?! Has it gone up?! Are you out of your mind, spouting nonsense?"
"Yes, what are you saying? I didn't see it."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound!
The rest of the words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get them out!
Looking at the scene before him, Ning Gui seemed to forget the pain in his body. He jumped three feet high and excitedly grabbed Wu Ling's strong arm next to him!
"Oh my god! It's really gone up!"
"The water level has risen! Am I seeing things?"
"Her Majesty the Empress must truly be a fairy sent down from heaven!"
"They came here to save us!"
"This is simply a miracle!"
The people also saw that the pool, which was almost dried up, had risen by more than an inch after Her Majesty the Empress put her hand in! And it was still slowly rising!
They didn't care about anything else and all knelt down on the ground!
He couldn't stop kowtowing to Lin Ru!
"Fairy! Greetings, fairy! I bow to the fairy!"
"Oh my god! A fairy has descended to earth! Fairy, please bless our family with peace and safety!"
"Thank you, Fairy! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, no one present doubted the identity of Her Majesty the Empress!
They just kept kneeling and praying. Some prayed for good weather, an end to the war, and full granaries in the coming year. Others took advantage of the chaos to pray to the fairy godmother to bless them so they could marry a good wife! Still others prayed for great wealth, or to have a grandson or a boy!
Because Lin Ru had taken many pills, her hearing was even better than before!
Since she can clearly distinguish who someone is, and hopes for good weather and a bountiful harvest next year, who am I? I hope to have a boy!
Hearing these words, she suddenly regretted spending so much effort to pour the spiritual spring water from her space into this small pool!
These people are far too foolish. Although her actions have temporarily subdued these people, if someone with ulterior motives were to manipulate things again, it could become another sharp blade aimed at her!
But we can't worry about that now!
All she wants now is to stabilize the rear as soon as possible, and then send troops to take over the territory of the Marquis of Zhennan!
In that case, her territory will truly become the largest among all these kings and nobles!
As long as she is strong enough, these messy rumors and these fickle people will no longer be a threat to her!
So she could only endure it, though she was very impatient!
However, just when he tried to block out his hearing, a different voice suddenly came from among these people!
"If there truly are gods in this world, please protect my Emperor! Whatever His Majesty has traded with you gods this time, I am willing to accept the punishment in His Majesty's place! May all the gods open their eyes! Let all the suffering fall upon me!"
The voice was so soft it was almost a whisper, barely audible!
But Lin Ru still managed to find the source of the sound in the crowd!
She looked over!
Then they saw Wu Ling with his eyes closed, murmuring softly!
As Lin Ru listened to the repeated pleas, "Please transfer all your suffering to me," a warm current suddenly welled up inside her, coursing through her entire body. Even her icy hands, resting in the pool, felt faintly warm!
Lin Ru was momentarily stunned!
She closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, she was met with a pair of deep eyes!
It turned out that Wu Ling had finished praying quietly and opened his eyes, which happened to meet Lin Ru's gaze!
The two of them stood there, gazing at each other from afar.
It was as if all the common people and officials had vanished from the world, leaving only the two of them gazing at each other in silence!
Looking into the girl's smiling eyes, Wu Ling couldn't help but wonder if the Empress had overheard his monologue. But then he thought, the distance between them was so great. And life was so chaotic; even if the Empress's martial arts were incredibly powerful, it was probably impossible!
If they were to overhear, wouldn't they discover my filthy thoughts?
He tried to comfort himself, his ears involuntarily turning red. He wanted to lower his head, to avoid that smiling gaze, but for some reason, at this moment, he only wanted to look at the other person forever, not wanting to leave for even a moment! He just wanted to gaze at the other person greedily!
Lin Ru initially found it amusing to see Wu Ling's ears, face, and even neck turning a deep purple red. She wanted to just stare at him and see just how red he would become. However, she didn't expect Wu Ling's eyes to suddenly change. The greed and fervor in his eyes were so intense that she was almost overwhelmed!
They had no choice but to give up and turn their attention back to the water level in the pool!
The water in the pool should be enough now. This water is all spiritual spring water from the space. He was already exhausted from producing this much. If he produced more, the people's bodies would not be able to handle it!
Although this water is not even enough for half the city's residents to drink once!
But she doesn't plan to release any more!
She didn't want these people to think that everything they did was a given, without any consequences!
So she used her inner strength to slowly force the color out of her face. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She slowly stood up, swaying as if she was about to faint at any moment!
"Fellow villagers! Get up quickly! I am neither a witch nor a fairy, but just an ordinary person favored by heaven!"
"Now, this is all I can do!"
"Interfering in worldly affairs is already a grave taboo. The celestial beings have repeatedly instructed me not to do anything that interferes with the laws of nature!"
"The last time I prayed for rain, I was punished and died once!"
"Fortunately, my fellow villagers pleaded with Heaven on my behalf, which allowed me to return to this place and continue to build a home that belongs to us!"
"And I'm also afraid that if things continue like this, I won't be the only one punished!"
"Now! I..."
