"Okay, okay, I know you're doing this for my own good."
"Don't worry! Wu Ling is in such good health, he'll be fine."
"The reason we haven't heard from him in the last couple of days is because he's recovered."
"Hurry up and pack your things, come with me."
"Wu Fei, come along too!"
Wu Juan immediately wiped away her tears, stood up, and went back to pack her things.
They soon bid farewell to the Bai family and set off on their journey!
On the way, Lin Ru was still a little confused. "Didn't I reply to him?"
"Why are you still foolishly waiting outside?"
Wu Fei replied, "Recently, rumors have been spreading throughout the city, all saying that the money used to build the palace was from the people's taxes!"
Everyone says that the Qian family used the people's hard-earned money.
Lin Ru nodded. "I know about this! Isn't it just a petty trick by the Holy Kingdom?"
"What does this have to do with delivering the letter?"
Wu Juan quickly said, "It was that messenger who overheard some people saying some very unpleasant things, and he happened to run into the person spreading the rumors, so the two of them had a verbal argument."
"I never expected that person to be a spy from the Holy Kingdom. He was quite skilled in martial arts, and most importantly, he was also hiding poison."
"So after the two started fighting, the kid did his best to stop the guy from escaping, but he was seriously injured. Fortunately, he is out of danger and will recover after some time."
"After settling the people in, it was already late. To avoid any ambushes by spies from the Holy Kingdom on the road, we decided to have the person taking over set off during the day."
"The round trip took up a whole day and night."
"The letter that should have been sent on the day the young clan leader fainted was delayed until the next day."
"By the time he was taken there, he was already unconscious."
Lin Ru clenched her fists tightly!
This holy country!
Let them be arrogant for a while.
Once the cannons are ready, she'll turn the Holy Kingdom into scorched earth.
They traveled at breakneck speed, day and night.
Several times Wu Juan wanted to suggest that Lin Ru take a break, since she was still menstruating.
As a result, Lin Ru directly stuffed a painkiller into her mouth.
So they continued on their journey.
Finally, on the evening of the second day, they arrived at the camp stationed on the border of Chenzhou!
Lin Ru dismounted!
They walked into the camp.
The two soldiers at the gate didn't recognize Lin Ru!
Moreover, she was dressed very simply. Although she was indeed pretty, this was not a place for a young girl to visit.
Just as they were about to step forward to stop them, Wu Juan and Wu Fei each restrained one of them.
"Stop Your Majesty! Are you out of your minds?"
Although those people didn't believe it, they saw that all the generals were respectfully bowing to the woman!
They were so frightened that they immediately knelt down on the ground.
He shouted, "Long live the Emperor!"
Bai Chengye was somewhat incredulous when he heard the commotion. He came out and saw the familiar figure, and his eyes welled up with tears!
But he knew that no matter what his relationship with His Majesty was, they were now ruler and subject in public.
So he led his son and the rest of his subordinates to Lin Ru and bowed respectfully.
Lin Runa stepped forward and helped her maternal grandfather up.
"Grandfather! Get up, don't be so polite."
"Where's Wu Ling? How is he?"
Bai Chengye then led Lin Ru into Wu Ling's tent!
As soon as Lin Ru lifted the curtain, I saw Wu Ling covered in silver needles!
Bai Chengen's two sons stood guard nearby.
Upon seeing Lin Ru arrive, he was taken aback at first, and then prepared to kneel down and pay his respects!
Lin Ru quickly stepped forward and helped the person up.
"Third Uncle! Get up quickly."
"My two cousins, please get up quickly too."
"What exactly is wrong with Wu Ling?"
Bai Chengen let out a long sigh.
"This is the first time I've encountered a situation like this. This young man is in poor health at such a young age. He's overthinking things, has many hidden injuries, and hasn't been resting properly."
"But these aren't the heaviest."
"I've treated both his physical wounds and fever, but this kid just won't open his eyes. He's in a daze, like he's determined to die!"
"And he kept muttering your name, trying to stop you from leaving?"
"We don't quite understand what happened either, which is why we sent someone to deliver a message to you."
Lin Ru looked at the person on the bed with their eyes closed and their face gaunt, and felt a pang of pain in her heart, her eyes reddening slightly.
How could this person be so stupid?
Bai Chengye gave his third brother a wink.
Bai Chengen immediately understood and quickly removed the silver needles from the boy's body.
Then they retreated with the others, leaving the two of them alone.
Lin Ru sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking his cheek.
As soon as the needle was pulled out, Wu Ling started talking nonsense again.
"Ru'er! Don't go! Why did you leave without saying goodbye? Why didn't you take me with you?"
"Ru'er, how am I supposed to live without you?"
"Ru'er, don't go!"
"Ru'er, wait for me."
Lin Ru quickly gripped his hand tightly.
Then he took out a pill that could cure all diseases from his spatial storage!
They pried open Wu Ling's mouth and stuffed the pill inside.
In his dazed state, Wu Ling felt someone trying to pry open his mouth.
He quickly closed his eyes tightly, not wanting to eat anything or take any medicine.
Seeing his stubborn look, Lin Ru whispered in his ear.
"Wu Ling! Open your mouth and swallow this medicine!"
"If you don't take this medicine, I'm really leaving."
"If you're determined to die, then I'll be with another man!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Wu Ling unconsciously began to tighten his grip.
"don't want!"
"don't want!"
"Ru'er, don't tell anyone..."
While he was opening his mouth, Lin Ru slipped the pill inside.
That pill should melt in your mouth.
It turned into water and flowed into his mouth!
Wu Ling frowned, but still kept saying no.
Lin Ru sat beside him and called out gently, "Wu Ling! I know you can hear me. Wake up, I really didn't leave."
"Are you angry with me? Is that why you don't want to open your eyes?"
"I've been busy these past few days, so my reply was a little late."
"Unfortunately, the messenger had an accident on the way, which delayed the delivery by another day."
"I really didn't leave."
"I am still me."
"If you don't believe me, open your eyes and come with me to see Xiaoyue!"
"Wu Ling..."
"Open your eyes quickly. If you really die, I'll just marry anyone."
Wu Ling heard that familiar voice and felt as if he were dreaming.
How could His Majesty possibly have come to this place?
It was all just self-deception!
