Soon, the antidote came in handy.
Starting from the royal family, those with mania were fed antidotes.
As expected, after taking the antidote, the man gradually calmed down.
After confirming that the antidote was really effective, the emperor perked up.
It only took a night to get rid of the mania in the royal family.
The guards of the royal family resumed work. The emperor also gathered the ministers for a meeting.
After that, the emperor sent a team of imperial guards to send the antidote to the residences of a few important ministers.
Then, these ministers would arrange for people to send the antidote to the others.
Just like that, the capital began to slowly recover.
It was unknown if it was intentional or not, but the emperor didn’t ask someone to send the antidote to the princes.
The next evening, after the entire capital returned to normal, the princes finally obtained the antidote for mania.
Luo Cheng, who was waiting outside on the farmstead, finally received news from the royal family and the capital.
The capital’s door opened and the news was released.
After confirming that the capital had stabilized, the second batch of antidote made by Luo Cheng was transported through the city gate.
Princess Ning Xin, Meng Yan, and Ma Chongshan entered the capital with the antidote.
After being out for so long, everyone was worried about their family.
Meng Yan also had many businesses to take care of. After this incident, Meng Yan accumulated a lot of things to deal with, so she was in a hurry to go back.
Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran remained in the farmstead. After all, they still needed to oversee the production of the antidote.
After the other people left, Li Xiaoran felt much more relaxed.
“Ruyue, I keep feeling that my life has become even worse after coming to the capital! I want to go home!”
When Shu Ruyue saw Li Xiaoran’s tired expression, she said with some heartache, “It’s time to go back! This capital looks fun, but every place is filled with danger. It’s even more tiring than roaming the martial world!”
“But we can’t go back for the time being. We still have to wait for a while, but we should be able to relax during this period of time. There’s another mountain behind the farmstead, so why don’t we go up the mountain to hunt?! Or we can pick some things. I’m going crazy from staying inside all the time!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and suggested.
“Sure! But will your husband let you go?” Shu Ruyue thought of something and asked.
Li Xiaoran felt that there was no problem, so she said, “Don’t worry! I’ll tell him. Go and prepare. We’ll set off later!”
When Luo Cheng learned that Li Xiaoran wanted to go up the mountain with Shu Ruyue, he immediately agreed.
However, Luo Cheng said that he would let Zi Zheng and Wu Qinghe follow them.
Li Xiaoran knew that Luo Cheng was worried about her safetv. so she didn’t object.
Soon, the four of them went up the mountain with tools like baskets, scimitars, and ropes.
There was a small mountain behind the farmstead. It didn’t look tall, but it would take time and effort to climb up.
Fortunately, this mountain had abundant resources. In summer, many wild fruits would ripen.
As the group ate wild fruits, they searched for delicious food in the mountains.
Perhaps because her life had been too depressing recently, Li Xiaoran sensed bad emotions flowing out along with her sweat.
Sure enough, when people were depressed, they had to exercise more.
Her previous homesickness and unwillingness to do anything were gone.
“Hey, Xiaoran, look, there’s an orchid over there!” Shu Ruyue pointed towards somewhere not far away and shouted.
When Li Xiaoran looked in the direction Shu Ruyue was pointing, she saw an orchid.
“No wonder I could vaguely smell the fragrance of orchids previously. So there really are orchids here!”
Shu Ruyue ran over quickly and looked around the orchid.
“This orchid is growing really lushly!”
Li Xiaoran also came over to take a look and nodded. “That’s right. It’s obvious that this orchid is full of vitality!”
When Wu Qinghe heard this, he came over with a hoe and planned to dig up this orchid.
“Hey, what are you doing?” When Shu Ruyue saw Wu Qinghe bringing a hoe over, she quickly stopped him. “What are you doing?”
“Dig it to bring it back and plant it. Don’t you two like it so much? After we dig it and bring it back, you guys can see it every day!” Wu Qinghe replied.
“No need!” Shu Ruyue and Li Xiaoran said in unison.
The two of them realized something after saying that and smiled at each other.
“Stop digging. Look at this orchid. It belongs to this field! After you take it away, it can only live in a flower pot. How pitiful! Orchids should grow where they belong!” Shu Ruyue said.
“That’s right. We can’t harm it just because of our preferences. It’s growing so well here, which means that this place is very suitable for it.” Li Xiaoran nodded and said.
When Wu Qinghe looked at the two women and saw that they had the same opinion, so he put away the hoe.
“Ah, woman!”
With that, Wu Qinghe came to Zi Zheng’s side.
“Aren’t women contradictory? They clearly like it, but they won’t let me dig it and even lectured me!”
Zi Zheng glanced at Wu Qinghe and gave him a disdainful look.
“No wonder you still can’t find a wife. Turns out there’s a reason!” With that, Zi Zheng walked towards Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue.
After all, his duty was to protect Li Xiaoran, so he couldn’t stay too far from her.
“Why aren’t you on my side? We’re men after all.” Wu Qinghe was unhappy.
“I’m a man, but that doesn’t mean I have to stand on your side! If I stand on your side, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get a wife in the future!” Zi Zheng said from afar.
These words were extremely insulting.
Wu Qinghe was furious.
“Zi Zheng, just you wait! Don’t think that you can falsely accuse others just because you’re Luo Cheng’s subordinate! Who said that I can’t get a wife? I’ll get a wife before you do!”
“I’ll wait and see!” Zi Zheng said azain.
“Sigh, I’m very impatient. Believe it or not, I’ll find a wife tomorrow!” Wu Qinghe shouted.
Upon hearing the two men bicker, Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue snickered.
“Sometimes, I feel that Wu Qinghe is like a fool! Xiaoran, how did someone like Wu Qinghe survive until today?” Shu Ruyue couldn’t help but complain, “Look at him.. With his personality, it’s normal for him to never get a wife in his entire lifetime!”
