After transmigrating into the body of a stepmother, I led the villains in a rebellion.

Lin Shu sent Lu Shiyuan into the space again, originally prepared to fight the space head-on this time.

If the space was unwilling, she would pour the spiritual spring water from the space into the mortal world. Who knew that just as Lin Shu was about to refuse, Lu Shiyuan's body disappeared from her sight and appeared in the spiritual spring water in her space.

This time was different from the last. Last time, when the spiritual spring was used to nurture Lu Shiyuan, it was done somewhat casually. But this time, the spiritual spring was used to nurture Lu Shiyuan with much more care.

The spiritual spring water soaked Lu Shiyuan from all sides, as if every inch of his skin was greedily absorbing the pure energy from the spring.

Lin Shu observed all of this with his mind, and couldn't help but feel a bit surprised and curious.

She sensed that the spirit spring's reaction was unusually positive this time, as if it were responding to some deep-seated call, or perhaps the spirit spring itself had become aware of Lu Shiyuan's special nature.

As time went by, a faint glow began to emanate from Lu Shiyuan's body in the spiritual spring, a sign that the spiritual spring was repairing his body and merging with it.

This scene had appeared before, but the light had never been as intense as it was now.

It was as if Lu Shiyuan's body was undergoing a transformation; the spiritual spring was not only repairing his external injuries, but also his internal organs.

Just as Lin Shu was lost in thought, a gentle fluctuation suddenly surged within the space, and a warm and familiar power gently enveloped her.

As if enveloped by a spiritual spring, her injuries began to heal visibly.

Suddenly, she was touched by the kindness emanating from the space, and she couldn't help but smile. "It seems that my space is quite kind after all, it even knows that she is injured."

After Lin Shu finished repairing his injuries, he glanced at Lu Shiyuan in the space, who had been almost completely healed and whose complexion had changed from pale to rosy. His wounds were also gradually healing under the care of the spiritual spring.

According to past practice, Lu Shiyuan should have been thrown out of the space long ago, but this time, surprisingly, the space did not throw him out.

Seeing that Lu Shiyuan was almost fully repaired, Lin Shu took the initiative to bring him out.

Looking at Lu Shiyuan lying in her arms again, his body was completely different from before.

Those horrific wounds are now just red marks.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Lin Shu wrapped him up completely, changed him into clean clothes, and then helped him lie down on the bed.

Seeing that Lu Shiyuan showed no signs of waking up, Lin Shu got up and left his room.

When she came out again, she found that it was just getting light, and the sun on the horizon was just beginning to show its pale white glow, with a ray of sunset shining precisely on Lu Shiyuan's door.

Lin Shu then realized that it had taken a whole night to treat Lu Shiyuan's illness.

She quickly returned to the courtyard that Lu Shiyuan had prepared for her and asked someone to prepare hot water for her.

Wash away the smell of blood and gunpowder from your body.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, she returned to Lu Shiyuan's room.

As soon as Lin Shu stepped into the room, he noticed that Lu Shiyuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

She quickly went to the bedside and softly called out, "Lu Shiyuan, are you awake?"

Lu Shiyuan slowly opened his eyes. A trace of confusion flashed in his once deep but now even brighter eyes, but he quickly focused on Lin Shu's face.

He tried to sit up, but fell back down due to his weakness.

"Don't rush, you're still very weak and need to rest," Lin Shu said as she reached out to help him lie down and adjusted him to a more comfortable position.

Lu Shiyuan looked at Lin Shu with gratitude in his eyes, "You saved me again. It seems I'll really have to rely on you for the rest of my life."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu raised an eyebrow slightly and said something ambiguous, "It's not impossible."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyuan's eyes lit up instantly. He sat up excitedly, eager to grab Lin Shu.

"What did you say?"

“I told you that I saved your life, and from now on I will be in charge,” Lin Shu said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyuan smiled, a smile that contained both relief and a touch of childlike playfulness. "Alright, from now on, not only is my life yours, but I am yours too."

Seeing his appearance, Lin Shu looked at him with disdain, but her watery eyes sparkled with a deep smile.

With Lu Shiyuan's recovery, he became busy again, handling all matters, big and small, at Langya Mountain and strengthening its defenses.

The Iron Guards who had been poisoned have now recovered. They pulled Lu Shiyuan aside and told him everything that had happened during the time he was unconscious.

"General, the Great Xia of today is no longer the Great Xia we imagined. The Emperor is under house arrest, and the Crown Prince Mo Yunwei is overseeing the country."

"He disregarded the lives of ordinary people and relentlessly implemented harsh tax policies, leading to widespread suffering."

“Especially during your coma, both the Jiang and Hua kingdoms began to slightly invade, but he completely ignored them, only caring about accumulating wealth. The current situation can be described as beset by internal and external troubles, and is in a precarious state.”

"If you don't take action soon, the empire that the Emperor worked so hard to build will probably be destroyed in his hands."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyuan frowned.

He had always known that Mo Yunwei was unscrupulous and reckless, but he never imagined that he would be so incompetent and tyrannical, pushing the Xia Kingdom to the brink of collapse.

A sharp glint flashed in Lu Shiyuan's eyes, and his fists clenched involuntarily. How could he be so tyrannical and cruel?

"How many of our brothers from Langya Mountain perished in this great battle? How many are left now?" Lu Shiyuan asked in a deep voice, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable authority.

"Reporting to the general, we have suffered heavy casualties, and less than a third of our original number remain," Ye Ying replied, his tone filled with unconcealed pain and self-blame.

Lu Shiyuan closed his eyes in pain, but when he opened them again, a decision had been made.

In this turbulent situation, with the two countries eyeing each other covetously, the fighting strength of Langya Mountain is the secret weapon to defeat the other two countries, so they must strengthen Langya Mountain as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Lu Shiyuan glanced at every member of the Iron Guard present and slowly said, "Brothers, I have decided to clean house for the Emperor."

"But we fought together to build the Great Xia empire. We can fight among ourselves, but we must never let the other two countries succeed."

"While we are dealing with Mo Yunwei, we must find a way to strengthen the forces at Langya Mountain and make it a secret weapon to achieve a surprise victory against the two countries."

"Therefore, I want to divide our remaining forces into two teams. Ye Xiang will lead twenty men to accompany me to the capital to deal with Mo Yunwei, while the rest will be brought by Liu Yizhou to stay in Langya Mountain to recruit soldiers and prepare supplies in preparation for the battle to come."
