Chapter 486: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 486: Tenderness (2)
Thinking that the Red Python Gallbladder was also successfully found with her help, a ridiculous thought suddenly crossed Xiao Ruiyuan's mind: she had found two of the three main ingredients, so would she also find the thousand-year ginseng in the end?
Seeing him silent, Mo Yan felt somewhat uneasy. Her explanations weren't entirely fabricated, and as long as he didn't personally investigate the cliffside, he wouldn't catch her in a lie. She didn't want to reveal the secret of the spatial dimension to her father, siblings, and him—not out of distrust, but because carrying such a secret was burdensome enough on her own.
Snap out of his absurd thoughts, Xiao Ruiyuan didn't doubt Mo Yan's words. He simply felt that Mo Mo, after her contact with her, was not as simple-minded as a bird. After all, ordinary birds wouldn't know that Black Lingzhi could detoxify and save lives.
Setting aside these distractions, he began explaining to Mo Yan the benefits of Black Lingzhi.
Black Lingzhi was a holy medicine for detoxification, capable of neutralizing almost any poison. It could treat heart ailments, strokes, enhance physical fitness, prolong life, and crucially, even revive at critical moments—its effects were more potent than those of thousand-year ginseng... In short, Black Lingzhi was extremely rare and precious, which was why it had vanished for five hundred years.
The powerful effects of Black Lingzhi excited Mo Yan greatly. She was very glad she had followed Da Bai's guidance and transplanted it into the spatial dimension. At the very least, it added another layer of security for her and her family's lives.
Seeing her happiness, Xiao Ruiyuan's handsome face unconsciously lit up with a smile. Thinking about what he needed to discuss next, he couldn't help but furrow his brow, uncertain how to broach the subject.
Seeing his hesitation, Mo Yan pondered for a moment and understood his dilemma. So, she took the initiative: "Brother Xiao, we can't delay any longer with the Crown Prince's poison. I can't provide the thousand-year ginseng, but I can offer some Black Lingzhi."
Xiao Ruiyuan and the Crown Prince were intertwined—if the Crown Prince fared well, so would he. If anything happened to the Crown Prince, even those vying for his power wouldn't spare him. Knowing his character, he wouldn't compromise with anyone trying to put him in jeopardy.
If things were truly like this, no matter who sat on that throne in the future, his outcome wouldn't be favorable. Since she had accepted his intentions, she couldn't help but plan for their future.
Naturally, Xiao Ruiyuan wanted to obtain Black Lingzhi and find the thousand-year ginseng to help the Crown Prince recover as soon as possible. Mo Yan took the initiative to offer such precious Black Lingzhi to save the Crown Prince, clearly considering his well-being.
"Yan'er..." Xiao Ruiyuan raised his hand, tightly embracing the girl before him, wishing to embed her deeply into his bones and blood, never to be separated.
...
The fresher the Black Lingzhi, the better its effects. Xiao Ruiyuan planned to retrieve the Black Lingzhi after finding the thousand-year ginseng, and Mo Yan naturally had no objections.
Thinking about the Crown Prince enduring over twenty years of torment, Mo Yan felt great sympathy for him and couldn't help but quip, "If His Majesty could be more devoted, the Imperial Harem would have had only the Empress Dowager. She wouldn't have been ambushed by the concubines during childbirth, and the Crown Prince could have grown up healthy, without so many ambitious brothers plotting against him. Ultimately, it's His Majesty's fault."
"Yan'er, be cautious!" Helpless, Xiao Ruiyuan squeezed her hand and couldn't help but caution her. This girl was too audacious—even daring to speak ill of the Emperor. Fortunately, there was no one else here; otherwise, her words could have caused a great disaster.
Mo Yan genuinely felt sorry for the Empress and was being reprimanded by the man she liked. Assuming he disagreed with her viewpoint, she stared wide-eyed and said, "Am I wrong? Or are you harboring thoughts of enjoying the same good fortune as others?"
Xiao Ruiyuan had no idea that a few more words would anger her. However, looking at the lively and pretty girl in his arms, a string in his heart seemed to gently vibrate, causing him to feel deeply moved. He couldn't help but tighten his strong arms. "Yan'er, trust me!"
Mo Yan leaned against his chest, pulling at his black hair that reached his waist, lowering her eyes and whispering softly, "I trust you, but you will change, I will change, and we cannot predict what will happen in the future... In any case, I always hope that we can be good forever, even if... even if..."
At this point, she suddenly couldn't continue, reaching out her slender arms to tightly encircle the man's waist. Even if they couldn't be good, she hoped he could achieve happiness that belonged to him.
"Yan'er... Yan'er... will be fine, we will always be fine..."
Xiao Ruiyuan gently stroked the girl's long hair reaching her waist, whispering repeatedly in her ear, just hoping to give her some confidence, making her more confident about their future, and as long as they worked together, they could always get the lifetime they wanted!
By now, it was already very late, well past midnight. In the sound of the low, pleasing murmurs, Mo Yan's eyes gradually became blurry, showing signs of drowsiness. Before long, she fell completely into a deep, sweet slumber.
Xiao Ruiyuan didn't dare to move recklessly, waiting until she was sound asleep before gently adjusting her position to help her sleep more peacefully. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth, his heart melting completely.
When Mo Yan woke up, it was already dawn. She opened her eyes in a daze, only to find herself lying in bed, but the fluffy bundle that always stuck to her and slept with her every night was nowhere to be seen.
