After Li Xiaoran thought about it for a moment, she said, “In that case, they went to the Flowing Water Valley and hid all the herbs there?”

“Maybe there’s another big secret in the Flowing Water Valley!” Luo Cheng said.

“Then we’ll know when we go and investigate!” Li Xiaoran said.

“I’ll go alone! Xiaoran, stay at home and wait for me! Flowing Water Valley is too dangerous. I’m afraid I won’t be able to care about your safety!” Luo Cheng said seriously.

“No, you have to bring me along! Husband, don’t forget that I can help you!” Li Xiaoran said.

After Luo Cheng thought about it for a moment, he changed his mind.

“Why don’t Zi Zheng and I sneak in and capture someone? We’ll interrogate that person!”

Li Xiaoran thought about it for a moment. This was fine. At least, it wouldn’t be too dangerous.

Just like that, after the couple discussed it, Luo Cheng went out in the middle of the night with Zi Zheng.

Zi Cheng stayed behind to protect Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran tossed and turned in bed. Since she was unable to fall asleep, she simply sat up.

“Sigh, why do I feel that there are so many things happening after the capital?! It’s fine if we stay here for a short period of time, but if we stay here for a long time, won’t it be depressing? No wonder my husband doesn’t like the capital

and is willing to live in Sichuan instead!”

At this point, Li Xiaoran sighed again.

They had originally come to the capital to teach Luo Cheng’s scumbag father and the princes who had ill intentions towards them a lesson.

Unexpectedly, before they could finish venting their anger, they got involved in so much trouble.

After this matter was settled, they should leave the capital quickly!

This place really wasn’t a good place at all.

Living here was too tiring and troublesome.

Her imagination kept running wild. One moment, she was thinking about this, and the next, she was thinking about that. In the end, Li Xiaoran didn’t know when she even fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she realized that Luo Cheng had not returned.

Shocked, Li Xiaoran quickly got up from the bed. After putting on her clothes, she went to look for Zi Cheng.

“Zi Cheng, is my husband back yet?”

When Zi Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s anxious voice, he quickly replied, “Madam, don’t worry. Young Master is fine! Yesterday, Young Master and the others successfully found all the herbs in Flowing Water Valley. Now, they’re arranging for people to transport the herbs away! Because of the urgency of the matter, they only asked someone to bring a letter back to tell you not to worry!”

Li Xiaoran was stunned when she heard Zi Cheng’s words.

Wasn’t he going to capture someone?

Why did he send the herbs away directly?

Could it be that her husband had already captured everyone in the Flowing Water Valley?

Although she was curious, Li Xiaoran didn’t ask anything else.

As long as Luo Cheng was fine, nothing else mattered.

To Li Xiaoran’s surprise, Luo Cheng rushed back that morning. Without saying anything, he quickly packed their things and the group left in a carriage.

Later, they even encountered Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan’s carriage halfway. Then, the four of them quickly returned to the farmstead.

After returning to his territory, Luo Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Xiaoran wanted to ask Luo Cheng something, but Shu Ruyue and the others surrounded her.

“Where did you guys go? We’ve been worried sick about you guys!” Shu Ruyue sized up Li Xiaoran and asked with concern.

When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s words, she glanced at Luo Cheng.

“We went out to look for herbs. Unexpectedly, those herbs were all bought, so we couldn’t find them even after searching for a long time!”

Luo Cheng laughed when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

When Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan heard Li Xiaoran’s words, they exchanged looks and immediately understood.

“That’s right. We were doing business, so we thought we could help! Unexpectedly, when we went out, the situation wasn’t as we expected! We couldn’t buy herbs anywhere. Those pharmacies were all closed. The herb suppliers couldn’t be found at all. It was as if they had disappeared from the face of the earth!” Ma Chongshan said.

Hearing this, everyone frowned.

“Alright, it’s good that you guys are back. Let’s discuss what to do next! I think you guys are tired from the long journey. Go and rest first!” Seeing that they were very tired, the Eldest Princess quickly helped Li Xiaoran and the others out.

Seeing this, the others didn’t ask anything else. Instead, they let Li Xiaoran and the others rest. After washing up, Li Xiaoran thought about something as she lay on the bed.

Luo Cheng was also exhausted. so after drying his hair. he lay beside Li

Xiaoran.

“Husband, are the herbs in a safe place?”

“Don’t worry, the herbs are absolutely safe! I’ve already arranged for someone to make the antidote!” Luo Cheng said.

With Luo Cheng’s assurance, Li Xiaoran was relieved.

After that, the couple rested together.

At the same time, the emperor’s expression became uglier and uglier in the imperial study.

“Xiao Dezi, what do you think my unfilial sons are thinking? At this time, they’re still busy fighting among themselves. None of them know the priority!

Shouldn’t the most important thing be to resolve the problem of mania first?”

When Xiao Dezi heard the emperor’s words, he didn’t dare to say anything else.

Actually, Xiao Dezi knew very well that the emperor was very disappointed in the princes.

“I wonder if Luo Cheng has received the letter I sent him! Will this kid refuse to come at all after receiving my letter?!” The emperor thought of something and asked again.

This time, Xiao Dezi said,

“Your Majesty, I don’t think the Seventh Prince is such a person.”

“Who knows? Perhaps he still resents me for treating him like that back then! ” The emperor said with a dejected expression.

The emperor was also a human who had emotions.

Amidst this crisis, all his emotions surged.

He didn’t have time to think about it before, but now that he thought about it carefully, he felt that he deserved it.

“The Seventh Prince might still resent you, but he definitely won’t abandon you! Your Majesty, why don’t you make a bet with me?! I bet that the Seventh Prince will save you. If I win, you have to reward me with a house so that I can have a place to stay in the capital!” Xiao Dezi said.

When the emperor heard Xiao Dezi’s words, he pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

“Alright, I’ll make a bet with you!”

“Then if I lose, what do you want?” Xiao Dezi asked.

The emperor didn’t speak. How could Xiao Dezi have what he wanted?

Of course not!

The reason he wanted to gamble was only that he felt hopeful!
