Luo Cheng nodded as he replied, “That’s very likely!”
In fact, everything was really as they had expected.
Those people also wanted to capture Li Xiaoran and the Eldest Princess amidst the chaos.
Unexpectedly, when Li Xiaoran saw that the situation wasn’t right, she ran towards the rockery first and took an unusual path, preventing those people from finding them.
After Eldest Princess and Princess Ning Xin met Li Xiaoran, they also ran away with her, so they avoided those people.
What surprised those people the most was that Li Xiaoran actually thought of a way to use the rope to slide from the rockery to the big tree outside the farmstead. She slipped out of the farmstead before they even knew it. When they realized that something was wrong and looked for these people everywhere, they had already escaped.
They had no choice but to capture the others first.
Therefore, the group of people who escaped with Li Xiaoran were lucky.
Since they followed Li Xiaoran, they were able to escape danger.
“In that case, we can’t do anything but wait?!” Princess Ning Xin suddenly
ctsneu.
“It’s not that we can’t do anything. At least, those manic people are still in my hands. We have to figure out the reason for the other party’s manic behavior and make an antidote. This way, we can prevent similar things from happening again!” Luo Cheng paused at this point. “Have you ever thought about the consequences if the other party uses the same drug next time? If the entire city falls victim to this drug, what should we do?”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she suddenly thought of something.
“No, that’s not right! Think about it. There are maniacs outside the city, but wouldn’t there be maniacs in the capital as well? Think deeper. Wouldn’t there be maniacs in the royal family?”
Their expressions changed.
If that was the case, the capital was really doomed.
“It seems that getting rid of this mania and finding the antidote is our top priority!” The Eldest Princess stood up and said.
After Luo Cheng thought about it for a moment, he asked, “Auntie, for the next period of time, I want to entrust the safety of the farmstead to you. I’ll bring everyone to focus on developing the antidote for mania. I won’t be able to spare time, so I’ll have to trouble you!”
The Eldest Princess nodded and accepted the task.
“Do whatever you want. I’ll protect the people in the farmstead!”
Luo Cheng nodded and handed the guards of the farmstead to the Eldest Princess. Then, he brought Shu Ruyue, Wu Qinghe, Zi Cheng, and Zi Zheng to a house in the deepest part of the farmstead.
The Eldest Princess would be in charge of the safety of the others outside the farmstead.
Li Xiaoran originally thought that she could stay in the farmstead in front to take care of everyone, but Luo Cheng pulled her away.
“Li Xiaoran, it’s better for you to stay by my side! As you know, your good luck is what we urgently need, so you have to stay here and give us some blessings so that we can find an antidote to the mania as soon as possible. Besides, once we get busy, we won’t be able to care about meals. We’ll have to trouble you and Miss Ruyue to take care of our meals!” Luo Cheng said.
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s arrangements, she nodded. “Alright, do whatever you want. Ruyue and I will arrange everything!” With Li Xiaoran’s assurance, Luo Cheng was completely relieved.
After that, other than Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue, who cooked for them, the others began to study the situation of those manic people.
These people with mania wouldn’t stay asleep forever.
Would these people suddenly open their eyes and start attacking again?
Luo Cheng had no choice but to tie these people up with special ropes and check their bodies.
Most of the time, Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue rushed in and dragged the group of people out to force them to eat.
Even Wu Qinghe, who didn’t know medicine, kept the copper coins with him all day long. Every time Luo Cheng and the others encountered a research bottleneck, he would divine things.
As a result, the group of people lost a lot of weight.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran felt that this couldn’t go on, so she cooked many delicious dishes.
However, no one had much of an appetite and they continued to focus on developing the antidote.
“Sigh, I really didn’t expect my man to be a workaholic!” Li Xiaoran couldn��t help but lament.
Shu Ruyue let out a long sigh.
“Look at this group of men. They’re working so hard that it makes my heart ache! Wu Qinghe looks much more haggard than before!”
“That’s right! If not for the fact that what they did concerns the lives of many people, I really want to knock them out and let them rest for a few days!” Li Xiaoran said with heartache.
“Sigh, if I had known earlier, I would have learned more medical skills, so I might have been able to help instead of standing here and watching them worriedly!” Shu Ruyue said.
“You’re already quite good. At least you have some medical skills, especially how to treat external injuries. You each have your own specialties and strengths. Besides, you’ve done a lot! Aren’t we taking care of them together?
Protecting their basic needs is what we have to do now!” Li Xiaoran comforted. Shu Ruyue nodded, then perked up again.
“Let’s go and study what to cook today! This time, we must let the aroma reach those people and lure them out to eat!”
“Alright! Let’s try making hotpot this time! The aroma will be amazing!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and said.
“As you said last time, it’s too troublesome to make hot pot base, since we’ll have to buy so many things. Let’s cook something else!” Shu Ruyue shook her head and refused.
“Let’s make instant noodles! Instant noodles are delicious and satisfying. The key is that they can eat it whenever they want as long as there’s hot water!” Li Xiaoran thought of the instant noodles she had made previously and said.
“I don’t think I’ve eaten this before. Let’s hurry up and try it!” Shu Ruyue pulled Li Xiaoran’s arm and urged.
Just like that, Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue went to get some more flour and began to make instant noodles..
