Chapter 199 The Iron Tree Blooms
She trusted Murong Xun. The secrets of the space were too great, and her past life's experiences were too tragic, making her even more cautious.
"In that case, I will send people to find cotton seeds when I return."
Murong Xun could no longer contain his excitement and wanted to return to his residence as soon as possible to handle this important matter.
If cotton really has so many uses, as Miss Xue says, the lives of the people of Chu and Qin would at least be much better.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness."
Xue Ruanruan curtsied to Murong Xun.
"No need for formalities. If you need any help in the future, just ask. As long as it doesn't involve matters of principle or bottom line, I will not refuse."
Murong Xun had never made such a solemn promise to anyone before. This was also a tacit promise to Xue Ruanruan that he would not stand idly by in the face of the General's Mansion's predicament.
This was exactly what Xue Ruanruan wanted. Murong Xun was a reasonable man; how come she hadn't noticed so many of his good qualities in her past life?
He is worldly-wise but not cynical, cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He may seem ruthless, but he cares deeply for the common people and provides protection for those who uphold justice.
He fought against treacherous officials and petty men, single-handedly purging the corrupt atmosphere from the court.
Unfortunately, due to his own actions in his previous life, he was taken advantage of by that villain Murong Luo, who seized power.
Without the strong support of the General's Mansion and the resources in the jade pendant space, Murong Luo wouldn't even be able to defeat the disabled eldest prince, let alone inherit the throne and become emperor.
The more Xue Ruanruan interacted with this man, the more she felt that Murong Xun was the true emperor.
Now that I've been reborn, I'll lend him a hand this time and crush Murong Luo to the ground, so he can never rise again!
She was determined to avenge the deaths of her family members and the extermination of the Xue clan.
She wanted to see Murong Luo and Shen Yuanxiang, that despicable couple, get their comeuppance.
"I have remembered."
"It is getting late, and the snow on the road is deep. Miss Xue, please ride with me back to the capital in my carriage."
Looking at the woman's fair face covered in mud, Murong Xun felt both amused and heartbroken. How could such a frail woman dare to leave the city alone?
Tens of thousands of disaster victims have gathered in the outskirts of Beijing, and she came here on a donkey, which shows some courage.
"No need, I can't abandon my furry friend."
The little donkey had shared joys and sorrows with her all the way from Medicine King Valley to the capital, and had made great contributions to her. How could she bear to abandon it?
"Maomao?"
Murong Xun frowned slightly, his handsome eyes filled with doubt.
"Ahem, it's my little donkey."
"I see. Miss Xue, there's no need to worry. Yan Xiao will ride the donkey back."
Looking at the disheveled woman before him, Murong Xun suddenly recalled the donkey that had been bumped in the rear by his own carriage on the way back to the capital. A smile played on his lips, and a glint of light flickered in his deep eyes.
Yan Xiao and Yue Yin, who were busy moving supplies, were stunned. They looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with surprise.
When did my master suddenly become so perceptive and start pleasing girls?
Is their regent's palace about to welcome a new master?
His master, this thousand-year-old iron tree, had finally blossomed. An indescribable joy welled up in his heart, and his face was filled with excitement. The prince was finally planning to get married.
"What you say is true, Master. Your servant will take good care of the Divine Physician's donkey and make sure it is safely delivered back to the General's Mansion."
For the sake of her master's happiness, Yan Xiao patted her chest and assured him.
"No need for that, I..."
