Li Xiaoran didnât think of this previously. Now that she heard Luo Chengâs words, she remembered them.
Thatâs right. They were facing the current emperor, a father and a man who was also the ruler of the people.
The emperor might treat them well because of guilt today, but he might cripple them because of suspicion tomorrow.
Therefore, every step they took when they got involved in the royal familyâs matters was like stepping on a sharp knife.
âThen what should we do? Hand the antidote to the Eldest Princess?â Li Xiaoran didnât have any other good ideas.
âLet me think about it!â Luo Cheng pondered over it.
Although the Eldest Princess was a good person, Luo Cheng didnât trust her.
At the end of the day, the Eldest Princess and Luo Chengâs relationship was very ordinary.
They had not interacted much in the past and might not in the future either.
If the emperor wanted to get rid of Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran, the Eldest Princess might not protect them.
Therefore, Luo Cheng was worried about handing so much medicine to the Eldest Princess to send to the royal family.
Who knew who would get the credit after these herbs were sent in?
If he was tricked by the Eldest Princess and the antidote he developed became something that someone else took credit for, he would be enraged!
But what if he made the emperor suspicious if he personally sent the things in just because he knew how to enter the royal family?
Li Xiaoran was also worried. This matter was really troublesome!
But now, they had no choice but to counterattack!
After Li Xiaoran thought about it for a while, she finally said, âWhy donât I follow you?! Husband, you know my abilities. If I follow you, I can sense his emotions at close range. If he wants to kill us, weâll retreat. After dealing with the mania, weâll return to Sichuan and never come to the capital again! I
believe that with our ability to protect ourselves, we can protect us and our family! â
âThen what if we canât protect ourselves or our family? Youâre thinking of things too simply. After all, Old Master is the current emperor!â Luo Cheng reminded.
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Chengâs words, she immediately smiled.
âHusband, I understand what youâre saying! But we canât just abandon so many people alone because of this! If itâs really for the sake of safety, why donât we give out these antidotes and prescriptions?! Let the Eldest Princess do it. That way, we can protect ourselves!â
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoranâs words, he looked conflicted again.
âIâll feel indignant if you use this method!â
Li Xiaoran could sense the torment in Luo Chengâs heart.
It wasnât that he was unwilling to accept that his hard efforts wouldnât be approved by the emperor, but he didnât want to gamble on that slim possibility.
If this antidote and prescription fell into the hands of his brothers, he would definitely be furious.
Li Xiaoran could naturally guess why Luo Cheng was indignant and she sighed.
âI see that youâre usually close to Third Brother. Third Brother is also a very upright person, so if we can contact him and let him make this trip, we wonât have to worry!â
At the mention of his third brother, Luo Cheng sobered up.
That was right. He wasnât alone. He had support.
Coincidentally, when something happened in the capital, the Third Prince wasnât in the Imperial City. He had gone out to investigate.
Thinking of this, Luo Cheng quickly called Zi Cheng over and instructed him to do some things.
After Zi Cheng left, Luo Cheng smiled, as if he had resolved a big problem.
âLi Xiaoran, youâre indeed my lucky star. You helped me solve a big problem!â
Li Xiaoran already understood what Luo Cheng wanted to do and she said in a daze, âYouâre really able to contact the Third Prince? Are the heavens helping
âThe heavens helped me because of you!â Luo Cheng said with a smile.
Soeakinc of which. it was reallv a coincidence.
Zi Cheng followed Luo Chengâs instructions. After arriving at a place and releasing nine whistling arrows, he waited there in peace.
Before long, Third Prince Ling Heng appeared with a few guards.
Seeing that the person who came was Zi Cheng, the Third Prince, Ling Heng, immediately appeared.
âZi Cheng, why are you here? Is Luo Cheng also outside the capital?â When Zi Cheng saw that the person was really the Third Prince, he quickly bowed.
âYour Highness, my young master urgently needs your help. Please come with me quickly!â
The Third Prince also wanted to look for Luo Cheng, so he nodded and followed Zi Cheng.
Soon, the Third Prince and Luo Cheng met in the farmstead.
âLuo Cheng, itâs great to see you here! Previously, I was worried about your situation in the capital. Now that I see that youâre fine, Iâm relieved!â Ling Heng said happily.
Luo Cheng smiled when he heard Ling Hengâs words.
âIâm also very happy to see that youâre fine! Third Brother, I wonât say anything else. I have something very important to tell you!â
âIs it related to solving the crisis in the capital?â Ling Heng asked.
Luo Cheng nodded as he led Ling Heng into the study.
In the study, Luo Cheng told Ling Heng everything that had happened recently, including his discussion with the Eldest Princess.
âThird Brother, as you know, I have no intention of taking over the throne, nor do I want to get involved in these disputes. But so many innocent people are in danger, so we have to send these antidotes in. This time, I want to ask you to follow the Eldest Princess and send this medicine to our father!â Ling Heng already understood what Luo Cheng meant and his concerns.
âLuo Cheng, are you really not going to consider it? You shouldnât waste your talent in Sichuan!â The Third Prince couldnât help but persuade him again. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThird Brother, no matter where I am, I can contribute to the people, so I donât have to stay in the palace. Besides, you know my personality. Iâm not suitable for officialdom!â Luo Cheng shook his head and refused firmly.
âThe reason I want to trouble you this time is firstly, I only trust you. I donât trust any other relatives. Secondly, I also hope that you can get more attention from our father. That way, your life will be much smoother in the future.
However, this way, youâll have to bear our fatherâs suspicion on my behalf!â Luo Cheng told him about the risk of this matter.
Ling Heng waved his hand and said, âLuo Cheng, youâre magnanimous and open-minded, so Iâm determined to handle this.. Because these antidotes can save those maniacsâ lives, itâs worth it for me to make this trip!â
