Luo Cheng took the note and looked at it carefully.
After reading what was written on the note, Luo Cheng fell silent.
This was because the names of the herbs the other party had bought were written on the note.
These herbs were the herbs he used to make the antidote for mania.
Although they were only ordinary herbs, they were necessary herbs for the antidote for mania. Other herbs couldn’t replace them.
His antidote had just been developed, so they shouldn’t have found out so soon. What went wrong?
Li Xiaoran took the note and took a look.
Seeing what was written on the note and her husband’s expression, Li Xiaoran understood.
“Was there an antidote for this mania right from the beginning?” Li Xiaoran asked.
“It’s very likely!” Luo Cheng nodded and said, “The fact that the other party bought these herbs as soon as he arrived explains everything!”
“If that’s the case, why didn’t he buy all these herbs in the beginning?” Li Xiaoran asked.
“Perhaps the other party didn’t expect me to develop the antidote at the beginning.” Luo Cheng said, “So someone at the Imperial Physician Dr. Liu’s side must have leaked the news!”
When Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan heard their conversation, they roughly understood the situation.
“Then what should we do? Without these herbs, those who have mania have no antidote. Why is the other party so ruthless?!” Meng Yan said angrily.
“The most important thing now is to go out and snatch these herbs from the other party quickly!” Ma Chongshan said.
After Li Xiaoran thought about it for a moment, she smiled.
“No, I have a good idea. We can obtain these herbs easily without spending a single cent!”
The other three looked over at her.
Li Xiaoran smiled and deliberately kept them in suspense.
“You just need to find out where these people sent the herbs after buying them. If you can’t find out, just identify the deliverers. At that time, I guarantee that you guys can find those herbs and use them!”
When Luo Cheng thought of Li Xiaoran’s ability, he understood her thoughts.
“I think it’ll work!”
Although Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan didn’t know what Li Xiaoran was up to, seeing that the couple was so confident, they decided to give it a try.
“Alright, Yan’er and I will go out and ask around now. As soon as there’s any news, we’ll send it over. But when the time comes, we’ll take drastic measures to anger those people to death!” Ma Chongshan said fearlessly.
In the past, he was only interested in doing business to earn money. Today, when he thought about how he had to fight against some evil factions and do something that was beneficial to the commoners, he immediately became excited.
All good men had kind hearts. Now that he had the chance to do a good deed today, he naturally had to do it.
“It’s best for you guys to fake your identities when you go out. It’s better to disguise yourselves as well! Be careful when following those people!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and reminded them.
“Don’t worry! We’re very good at these things!” Meng Yan said with a smile.
After this matter was settled, Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan went to prepare.
After the two of them left, Li Xiaoran explained that the two of them had gone to seek refuge with their relatives near the capital.
The Eldest Princess and the others didn’t suspect anything. After all, many people in the capital had farmland around the capital.
Speaking of which, the Eldest Princess and Princess Ning Xin also had farmland.
However, they felt that those places were not safe, so it was better to stay here.
In the following days, Luo Cheng was very busy. Li Xiaoran knew that he was busy with serious matters, so she didn’t ask.
She was very bored in the farmstead, so she simply began to patrol the vegetable fields in the farmstead.
It had to be said that the farmer in this farmstead was good at growing veggies! While walking in the fields of the farmstead, Li Xiaoran saw lush harvests everywhere.
All kinds of fruits and vegetables were already ripe. They could all be picked
and cooked.
What surprised Li Xiaoran even more was the diverse variety of vegetables in this farmstead.
There were peas, green beans, tomatoes, eggplants, asparagus, cabbage, and so on.
There were also peaches that were beginning to turn red hanging on several trees. It was the best time to eat them.
Li Xiaoran carried a basket as she picked some excitedly. Then, she placed them in the spring water to wash the fur outside and took a bite.
The flesh of this peach was crispy and tender, unlike peaches that were already ripe and soft. Li Xiaoran liked this crispy, sweet, and juicy texture more.
“Mr. Huo, these peaches taste very good. I like this crisp and sweet texture! I really didn’t expect to almost miss out on such delicious peaches!”
Huo Changdong, who was following at the side, laughed when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“It’s good that you like it! In the future, pick some every day so that you can eat them every day!”
Li Xiaoran shook her head and said, “No need, Mr. Huo. If I want to eat it, I’ll pick it myself! I grew up in the countryside, so I like the feeling of walking in the fields while looking at the crops and vegetables growing in the fields and tasting the fruits hanging on the branches. Only such a life can be considered enjoyable!”
Huo Changdong laughed when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“Your hobbies are indeed different! As far as I know, many people who come from the village never tell outsiders that they came from the countryside. It’s as if admitting that they used to live in the village is very embarrassing! You’re very different!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she laughed.
“I like living in the village. It gives off a very cozy feeling. Everyone starts work at sunrise and rests at sunset. Everyone works diligently and waits for the final harvest. Although there are also some bad people and trouble in the village, it’s generally very comfortable to live in!”
At this point, Li Xiaoran suddenly missed home.
It had been more than two months since she left home.
Previously, she was busy and didn’t miss home that much, but when she saw everything on the farmstead, she immediately longed to return to her hometown.
Huo Changdong smiled at the Seventh Prince’s consort happily.
He was Luo Cheng’s subordinate in name, but he actually treated Luo Cheng as his nephew.
When Luo Cheng’s mother married into the palace, he was still a guard in the royal family.
Once, he had offended a noble and was set up to become a scapegoat.
When Huo Changdong thought that he was about to be killed in the royal family, Luo Cheng’s mother pleaded for him with the emperor. Only then did the emperor let him off and only chase him out of the royal family.
Later, when he learned that Luo Cheng’s mother had passed away, Huo Changdong changed his name and came to Luo Cheng to work for him. He planned to watch Luo Cheng grow up to repay his mother for saving his life..
