Luo Cheng nodded and calmed down.

At this moment, Luo Ziyang brought over a bowl of rice and placed it in Luo Cheng’s hand.

“Eat quickly! Only after you’re full will you have the strength to face tomorrow!”

Luo Cheng nodded, then ate with red eyes.

Because the weather was a little cold, they cooked chowder.

They also stewed rice, steamed buns, vegetables, and meat.

After Li Xiaoran also ate a bowl of chowder, she felt much warmer.

“I really didn’t expect the weather to suddenly become so cold. It feels like it’ll be winter in just a few days! Husband, I think this year’s winter will probably be even colder than last year’s! After we go back, I’ll talk to the village chief about letting everyone repair the roof! ”

Luo Cheng nodded and said, “Yes, yes. When we get back, remind the village chief and the people nearby!”

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone packed their things and extinguished the fire. After confirming that there were no more sparks, they got up and hurried on.

After walking for a long time, Luo Cheng asked everyone to go down the mountain. Then, he went to buy a few carriages and rushed home. When they returned home, the food street and official road were as lively as ever.

There was nothing unusual in the village or at home. It was also business as usual at the workshop.

Luo Cheng heaved a sigh of relief and let everyone go back and rest.

Everyone had worked hard these few days. Now that the political world had changed drastically, there might be a tough battle ahead, so they quickly let everyone take the opportunity to rest.

Luo Cheng fell asleep as well, but not long after, he dreamed of his father.

In Luo Cheng’s dream, when the emperor saw Luo Cheng appear in front of him and realized that he was still alive, he was immediately overjoyed.

“Luo Cheng! It’s good that you’re still alive! I’ve done many wrong things in the past, but I couldn’t bring myself to apologize to you! I’m also a person, so I make mistakes! Take care of yourself in the future. You have to live well! I’m relieved that you have Xiaoran accompanying you!”

With that, the emperor disappeared from Luo Cheng’s dream.

Although Luo Cheng didn’t wake up, tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

Li Xiaoran was sleeping beside Luo Cheng, so she could naturally sense his emotions. Without saying anything, she hugged Luo Cheng and transferred her warmth to him.

Three days later, the news from the capital finally spread.

Luo Cheng’s people received news that the emperor had been forced to step down by a few princes. The princes had even poisoned the emperor. In the end, Prince Fu rushed over to save the emperor. Unfortunately, he was a step too late. The emperor was already poisoned and on the verge of death. Later on, the emperor wrote a letter to pass the throne to Prince Fu. Then, he died with hatred!

There was also another piece of news. It was said that the Third Prince was also one of the murderers who had conspired to force the emperor to leave the palace, so he was wanted.

When Luo Cheng learned this news, his heart ached. Then, he forced himself to perk up and he sneered.

“As expected, some people can’t hide themselves anymore. They’ve exposed themselves now! This is good, since we know who we’re dealing with now. Ziyang, get someone to deal with the aftermath and wipe our traces. Now, we’re going to hide in the dark!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she remembered something.

“Then what should we do on the surface?”

“I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you and Ziyang to deal with this matter on the surface! After all, when I left Hele Village that day, I only took Zi Zheng and Zi Cheng away, while Ziyang and you stayed in the village! Therefore, you can put on an act and pretend that I’m gone!” Luo Cheng said.

Li Xiaoran immediately understood.

“Husband, are you trying to get the other party to lower his guard?”

“Yes, before the other party finds out I’m alive, let’s rush to the capital! If we get rid of Prince Fu, we can let Third Brother ascend the throne. Then, all the trouble will end! Therefore, we’ll have to trouble you to put in some effort for the time being!” Luo Cheng said.

Li Xiaoran knew that at this special time, Luo Cheng had more things to do than she did.

Therefore, what she could help him with was to let him have nothing to worry about.

“Don’t worry, husband, I’ll take care of everything! Take care of yourself! This trip will be extremely dangerous. You must come back safely!” Li Xiaoran reminded.

Luo Cheng held Li Xiaoran’s hand and said softly, “Don’t worry, for you, I’ll definitely return safely! This time, I’ll definitely resolve all the problems and come back to live the life we want with you!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and didn’t say anything. She just snuggled into Luo Cheng’s arms and felt his heartbeat.

Early the next morning, Luo Cheng left with his men.

Li Xiaoran lay on the bed quietly for a while before perking up.

Luo Cheng left to do something very important!

Now, it was her turn to support this family!

After quickly getting up, Li Xiaoran washed her hair and took a hot shower. Then, she felt much more energetic.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran called her parents and sister, Li Xiaoqing, over and asked them to put on an act with her together.

Li Xiaoran didn’t sugarcoat it. Instead, she told her family about the difficulties they were facing truthfully.

This was a critical period. She had many things to do alone, so it was difficult for her to take care of all aspects. Therefore, her family had to work together.

Therefore, everyone had to put on a convincing act to make Prince Fu believe them.

After Li Shun and Zhao Xiu heard about this, they also knew that their daughter was under a lot of pressure. All of them promised that they would definitely put on a good show and wouldn’t drag her down.

The next day, some rumors spread outside.

After Li Xiaoran received the news, she immediately sneered.

“Madam, I’ll deal with these people who spread rumors!”

Li Xiaoran said, “No, there’s no need. Let them spread it! At this time, we can see people’s true colors clearly! We can use this opportunity to see what the people around us are truly like!”

Luo Ziyang felt that this was indeed the best time to read people’s true colors, so he nodded and didn’t deal with it.

Gradually, the news of Luo Cheng’s accident spread more and more. Many people who were close to Li Xiaoran came to visit.

“Granny Jin, I don’t believe that something happened to my husband! My husband said that he had something important to do! Since we haven’t heard from him, it means that the matter is very important and we can’t split up!

Don’t believe those rumors!”
