After a day, Ling Ruoli was an idle person. She was very bored. Now that she had lost her Black Tortoise Spirit, she could not transform into 700 Stones, and everyone was worried about her.

During this period, Ling Ruoxi thought of other ways to make amends, hoping to return to the capital to ask His Majesty for leniency. The war was not over yet, Murong Lian went to the army, and naturally Ling Ruoli was alone.

"Is it necessary?" Ling Ruoli leaned on a big rock alone, looking up at the sky.

She had thought it through at the beginning. If she couldn't stay in Changguo any longer, she would not stay there. She had been to the Qixing Pavilion before. Didn't the assassins who tried to assassinate her fail? Could it be that Shen Chengjun could use the power of the whole country to destroy her?

But what she was worried about was not herself, but the people who were related to her. Ling Ruoli counted on her fingers and thought: "The Ling family has cut off contact with me, and the Murong family..."

"Alas, she hasn't even gotten married yet." She fiddled with her long hair boredly, as if the person involved was Shen Lanxi. Thinking of this, Ling Ruoli sat up.

"That shouldn't be the case. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs." But if I just left, Shen Lanxi would have to bear the consequences for me.

Come to think of it, if it weren't for Shen Lanxi, I wouldn't even have a place to stay. Thinking of this, Ling Ruoli didn't notice that she was leaning against the stone. She turned over and lost her balance, and fell from a high place.

A white shadow passed over the water, and then the person turned and landed.

"So careless!"

Seeing that person, she was still smiling. She seemed embarrassed, "When did you come?" Ling Ruoli's voice was a little hoarse, and she realized that she was in a bad mood.

"I haven't seen you for a long time!" Shen Lanxi said, "How have you been these days?"

Ling Ruoli tapped her forehead with her finger and said, "No, what can we do?" She was also helpless, but she was able to let it go.

"The food here is not good, the accommodation is not good, and there is no one to talk to! Isn't it boring?"

"Yeah, it's annoying." She touched her cheek and felt that she had lost a lot of weight.

Shen Lanxi comforted her: "It seems that I arrived in time!"

"What?" Ling Ruoli didn't understand what he meant.

"I heard that you had a hard time on your journey, and I was very worried in the capital. I specially invited a famous chef and a singing girl to entertain you."

Upon hearing this, Ling Ruoli perked up, "Really? That's great! Take me there quickly."

"Okay, follow me!" Shen Lanxi stretched out his hand and held the person's hand, and he simply told him.

Although there were only more than 20 people, Mei Wanqing spent a lot of effort and money to hire them, and then stuffed them into Shen Lanxi's hands. He originally refused, after all, he had to bring so many people along for a long journey.

Until Mei Zi said generously that everything was arranged on the way and it wouldn't be too much trouble. Now there is indeed someone to take care of her along the way. Shen Lanxi admired that someone could do this for Ling Ruoli, and he envied her in his heart.

Not only people, but also supplies. Within half a day, the supplies arrived.

Ling Ruoli was only immersed in joy and didn't care about anything else at all.

This made Shen Lanxi think that she knew everything. Mei Wanqing risked his life to get these 700 shi, so there was no need to explain anything.

Ling Ruoli held the wine pot and looked at the dim sky in the distance: "Alas, this is worth my life! How happy!"

How could he know that Ling Ruoli was just enjoying life today and didn't care about what his condition would be like tomorrow.

Anyway, she didn't expect anyone to help her collect the enough money. After all, collecting a thousand stones in a short time was beyond human power, unless there was a miracle.

Just then a miracle happened. Shen Lanxi really came with salvation. Ling Ruoli recovered instantly, and then his face darkened.

"You are amazing! How did you do it in such a short time?"

In response to her praise, Shen Lanxi just smiled and said, "Apart from the government, only the rich can use this ability!"

Ling Ruoli blinked and said in disbelief: "Could it be that you are abusing your power for personal gain?"

"........."

"I see. You went to fight the local tyrants. You should fight more than this number of local tyrants." She smiled slyly and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, how is the battle going?"

“………” She knew it, and it was her fault.

Seeing that no one was talking, Ling Ruoli sighed, pouted her lips, then lowered her head and said sullenly: "Thank you!"

"Where are the two maids?"

"Bye"

This simple sentence gave Shen Lanxi a headache, "You also know that they..."

"Your father sent them. They accidentally fell into the river to feed the fish. Can you blame me?" Ling Ruoli said innocently, "Our Majesty sent them to serve me and protect my safety, not to ask me to protect them."

Her remarks were correct. However, at least 20 or 30 pairs of eyes from the people who passed by Luweizong saw that the two were fine.

After one night, the two disappeared. Ling Ruoli claimed that he wanted to eat fish, so the two left and never returned.

"After all, they were given by the Emperor."

"Yeah," Ling Ruoli agreed, then reacted, "You should go find Murong An. He sent people to catch the fish monster. I don't know what the situation is. Maybe you can collect the bodies of those two."

Anyway, this matter cannot be blamed on me. It was just that the two maids were not capable enough and ended up in the fish's belly.

"So you have thought it all through." I originally thought she was reckless and treated people casually.

"What have you thought of?" Ling Ruoli said innocently, "By the way, the mission is completed, when will I go back?"

Shen Lanxi hesitated when this was mentioned. Originally, her father wanted to block Ling Ruoli's way to survival, but it was a pity that her father wanted to reward her now.

“Nature is always available”

"Whether I go back or not is up to me." Ling Ruoli exhaled, "Let's go to the music!"

She hadn't listened to a ditty for a long time, so now she wanted to relax. She thought Shen Lanxi would refuse, after all, she had come all the way here.

"Very good!"

It was not until the evening that he took the opportunity to leave.

Ling Ruoli didn't care too much and continued listening to the music. She recognized some familiar faces among the people playing the music.

"owner"

Just as Ling Ruoli half-closed her eyes, in a state of half-sleep, a voice came to her ears.

She opened her eyes and saw that the person who had just played the music had stopped, and even the chef who had been cooking came over.

"Boss, you have suffered. Please rest assured that we are here to protect you at the risk of our lives."

"What are you doing? I'm living well, I don't need it." She didn't understand these actions. She learned that they were from the Meizi faction, and they were sent in the name of King Qi'an with the purpose of escorting Ling Ruoli safely all the way.

"Just tell us what you want, we will do our best to help you!"

"Is it really that serious?" Ling Ruoli was very touched at first, but then she thought that these people might have received a great benefit. "Tell me, how much did she pay you?"

"Ten strings of cash a day"

"Little Fifteen"

"I'm thirty," the cook said proudly.

"Oh, that's not right, how come you have more than us?"

"Humph, with your mediocre skills, you have to rely on me, Old Shi."

They were having a disagreement, while Ling Ruoli's heart was bleeding. She had no mood to listen to the music now. It seemed that this was an offering to twenty-five gods. She would rather eat dried meat and hard buns.

"You must have been exhausted from the journey. Now you don't have to do anything and can just rest."

"Oh, don't worry. We are all paid. If we don't work, people will criticize us later."

"I'll do the work," Ling Ruoli said with a wry smile, "Well, let's just take a walk. I won't listen to the music, and I won't cook. I'll send someone to take you back tomorrow morning."

Before they could speak, Ling Ruoli ran away first.

If this continues, her savings of less than a year will be gone. Mei Zi is really a fool, she doesn't know how to be frugal, how can she make ends meet.
