Li Xiaoran didn’t think of this previously. Now that she heard Luo Cheng’s words, she remembered them.
That’s 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 family’s matters was like stepping on a sharp knife.
“Then what should we do? Hand the antidote to the Eldest Princess?” Li Xiaoran didn’t have any other good ideas.
“Let me think about it!” Luo Cheng pondered over it.
Although the Eldest Princess was a good person, Luo Cheng didn’t trust her.
At the end of the day, the Eldest Princess and Luo Cheng’s 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, “Why don’t 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, we’ll retreat. After dealing with the mania, we’ll 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! ”
“Then what if we can’t protect ourselves or our family? You’re thinking of things too simply. After all, Old Master is the current emperor!” Luo Cheng reminded.
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she immediately smiled.
“Husband, I understand what you’re saying! But we can’t just abandon so many people alone because of this! If it’s really for the sake of safety, why don’t we give out these antidotes and prescriptions?! Let the Eldest Princess do it. That way, we can protect ourselves!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he looked conflicted again.
“I’ll feel indignant if you use this method!”
Li Xiaoran could sense the torment in Luo Cheng’s heart.
It wasn’t that he was unwilling to accept that his hard efforts wouldn’t be approved by the emperor, but he didn’t 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.
“I see that you’re 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 won’t have to worry!”
At the mention of his third brother, Luo Cheng sobered up.
That was right. He wasn’t alone. He had support.
Coincidentally, when something happened in the capital, the Third Prince wasn’t 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.
“Li Xiaoran, you’re indeed my lucky star. You helped me solve a big problem!”
Li Xiaoran already understood what Luo Cheng wanted to do and she said in a daze, “You’re really able to contact the Third Prince? Are the heavens helping
“The heavens helped me because of you!” Luo Cheng said with a smile.
Soeakinc of which. it was reallv a coincidence.
Zi Cheng followed Luo Cheng’s 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.
“Zi Cheng, why are you here? Is Luo Cheng also outside the capital?” When Zi Cheng saw that the person was really the Third Prince, he quickly bowed.
“Your Highness, my young master urgently needs your help. Please come with me quickly!”
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.
“Luo Cheng, it’s great to see you here! Previously, I was worried about your situation in the capital. Now that I see that you’re fine, I’m relieved!” Ling Heng said happily.
Luo Cheng smiled when he heard Ling Heng’s words.
“I’m also very happy to see that you’re fine! Third Brother, I won’t say anything else. I have something very important to tell you!”
“Is it related to solving the crisis in the capital?” 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.
“Third 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!” Ling Heng already understood what Luo Cheng meant and his concerns.
“Luo Cheng, are you really not going to consider it? You shouldn’t waste your talent in Sichuan!” The Third Prince couldn’t help but persuade him again.
“Third Brother, no matter where I am, I can contribute to the people, so I don’t have to stay in the palace. Besides, you know my personality. I’m not suitable for officialdom!” Luo Cheng shook his head and refused firmly.
“The reason I want to trouble you this time is firstly, I only trust you. I don’t 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, you’ll have to bear our father’s suspicion on my behalf!” Luo Cheng told him about the risk of this matter.
Ling Heng waved his hand and said, “Luo Cheng, you’re magnanimous and open-minded, so I’m determined to handle this.. Because these antidotes can save those maniacs’ lives, it’s worth it for me to make this trip!”
