Tuoba Rui was puzzled: "This is your room, where are you going?"
"My room, not yours?" Hua Ruge looked at him blankly. "Then why did you come in?"
"Yours is mine." Tuoba Rui said in an unquestionable tone as he pressed her head against his chest.
Hua Ruge looked up at him furiously. "That's impossible, don't think you can take advantage of me."
"You're mine too, just lie down and sleep." Tuoba Rui pressed her down again.
"I ?" Hua Ruge could not get up, even if he failed twice, he had no strength left.
In the end, he could only sigh and say, "I've found most of the evidence on my side, what about yours?"
"I already have one. Even if the Emperor was angry, he didn't do anything to me." Tuoba Rui caressed her head and comforted her: "Don't worry about me."
Hua Ruge silently rolled his eyes: "I'm not worried about you."
"I was going to take you to cure the plague, but since you're not worried about me, then forget it." Tuoba Rui had a face full of regret.
Hua Ruge was very interested in the illness that he had been unable to cure. Upon hearing that, his eyes lit up: "Why did you let me go again?"
"That was before." Tuoba Rui corrected him.
"Worried about you? Worried about you? That's not enough. You promised to bring me there, there's no need to go back on your words." Hua Ruge said in a beautiful voice, showing no signs of shyness.
She would not give up her chance because it was awkward.
Tuoba Rui was startled, he did not expect her to say it so casually.
"Seriously, didn't you disapprove before?" Hua Ruge asked as he rested his chin on Yue Yang's chest.
"It wasn't easy for you to worry about me. Isn't it too unromantic for me to disagree?" Tuoba Rui reached out to pinch her little face.
Hua Ruge rolled his eyes and ignored him.
"With me here, nothing will happen to you." He reached out and rubbed her head.
"I'm the doctor, it's hard to say who will be the one to cover up when the time comes." Hua Ruge said haughtily.
Hua Ruge was really tired after so many days, so after talking he fell asleep.
Tuoba Rui hugged her in his arms, and placed a soulless kiss on her forehead;
At noon on the second day, Gao Meilan was killed at the execution grounds. The citizens of the city were cheering as they didn't know how they found out that it was Hua Ruge who did it.
The way the ordinary citizens expressed their gratitude was very simple. Some directly kowtowed when they knelt, some gave her steamed buns, and some even gave her tortillas. Of course, the most common thing was to give her her daughter as a servant girl.
They all felt that they would definitely have a good life in the future if they followed a good person like Hua Ruge.
In the end, Hua Ruge was unable to endure the enthusiasm and signaled his personal guards to save her.
Some of the more sensible soldiers quickly came forward and said, "Sir, His Royal Highness wants you to go quickly. If you are late, you will be punished."
"Fellow villagers, it's not that I don't want to chat with everyone, it's just that I have to take care of official business. I appreciate your kindness, so take back the things you said." She said politely.
The commoners had nothing to say, they only stuffed things down, and when Hua Ruge squeezed out of the crowd, holding onto some bread and buns, with countless of eggs stuffed into her arms and a cabbage leaf hanging from her head, her white gown was stained with all sorts of colors, it was unknown how she even thought that she was roaming the streets.
The janissaries could not help but cover their mouths and laugh.
Hua Ruge immediately took off the leaves on his head and said with a ferocious expression: "What are you laughing for, I am just trying to win the hearts of the people. One look and you all have never seen the world before."
"Battle King has the hearts of the people too." A janissary said.
Hua Ruge glanced at him and said, "What do you know?
As she spoke, she picked up the steamed bun in her hand and took a bite, then took the lead to walk forward.
The janissary was sweating profusely as he chased after him and said, "It's better if we help you hold the egg."
"No need, I'll keep it for you to eat." Hua Ruge took one out and found it was still hot, so he peeled it and walked along the street while eating.
The janissaries covered their faces and retreated two steps, pretending not to know her.
No matter how he looked at it, this fellow didn't seem like a noble at all, but rather the leader of bandits.
"Young man?" An uncertain voice sounded
Hua Ruge saw an old man who was leaning on a walking stick standing at the front left. It was the old man who took care of her when she was still working.
"Old man." Hua Ruge cordially welcomed him and said: "I was so busy that I forgot to visit you. How is it?"
The old man looked at the noble medal on her chest, and asked in disbelief: "You are the one who plundered the City Lord's Mansion, and killed the daughter of the City Lord, Hua Ruge?"
"It's me. Old man, no need to be courteous with me." Hua Ruge said as he took out two eggs and passed them to him, "Let's talk while we eat."
Her appearance was the same as when the two of them were splitting the steamed buns and fruits in the snow. She was frank and casual.
The old man took it shakily and said, "I'm not mistaken."
Hua Ruge took a bite of the egg.
"I heard that the mayor has a backer. You need to be more careful in the future." the old man said in an old voice.
Hua Ruge laughed: "Old man, don't worry, after those people die, I will be fine."
"That's good, that's good." The old man nodded.
Hua Ruge laughed and stood there and ate with the old man for a while. Before he left, he gave the old man a medicinal pellet for treating his injuries and a sum of money.
The janissaries now had a better understanding of this heartless person who laughed so heartily.
When she returned to the manor, she discovered that there was a group of elite soldiers returning. Her body was filled with the scent of blood.
She rolled her eyes and raised her eyebrows: "You guys went to the City Lord's Mansion?"
"In accordance with your majesty's orders, don't leave a single one alive." replied the captain.
"Alright, go back and rest." Hua Ruge nodded.
If she wanted the City Lord's evidence to turn into a death warrant, there was no room for her to turn the situation around. These people dying was the best solution, but she was a little softhearted, so she did not give the order and was still thinking of a way out.
Tuoba Rui was indeed a god of death, she was much more decisive than her.
Hua Ruge walked into the inner courtyard and saw Tuoba Rui sitting on the stone table in the courtyard.
Naturally, she knew what he was worrying about, so she said, "He's already been killed and the items have also been stolen. Let's go?"
If the plague was not cured, he would never be at ease.
She was going to help him.
Tuoba Rui looked up and saw that her arms were bulging and her body was dirty.
"Can't you have any positive thoughts? I shouldn't have stolen the eggs, right?" As she spoke, she took them out one by one.
The janissaries were waiting to receive her, but she kept them in her own space and said to the janissaries, "You want to steal my eggs? No way."
The janissary felt rather awkward, so he decided to go down instead.
Tuoba Rui was teased by her so much that he started laughing out loud.
Hua Ruge stood in front of him and asked: "When are you leaving?"
"The carriage is ready. The rations have already been transported away from the main road yesterday. We will set off soon." Tuoba Rui said that since he was here to gather the food, he should go.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go." Hua Ruge said.
Tuoba Rui pointed to her colorful clothes, and asked with pursed lips: You don't want to change?
Hua Ruge had originally wanted to say that they were going to treat disasters, not a beauty pageant, but it was indeed a little outrageous to look down, so he turned around and returned to his room.
Tuoba Rui rubbed his chin, thinking that his little song was so rough that it didn't seem like it belonged to a girl.
Because he had gone to the disaster area, Hua Ruge did not wear it extravagantly. A simple set of green robes made him look like a scholar.
The two of them sat in the same carriage.
Hua Ruge said: "Tell me about the situation."
"What do you want to know?" Tuoba Rui asked.
"How many people are infected with the plague? Is it dense? For example, how many of the ten people in the vicinity were infected? " Hua Ruge asked.
She was analyzing the strength of the plague.
"The entire three cities in the northern border are infected. I have never noticed the intensity of your words. There are probably seven or eight people among the ten people in the same area." Tuoba Rui thought and replied.
"It's that serious?" Hua Ruge was a little confused.
She had thought that it was just a city, but not only was it large, it was also very dense. This meant that the plague was very strong, and if she did not cure it in time, more cities could spread.
Tuoba Rui nodded his head, and said: "I am still looking for a reasonable method, but I feel that this matter is very strange."
"Hmm?"
"It's just that the illness will continue to repeat itself. There are some people who are still infected even though they have clearly been cured. Furthermore, each time they become stronger than the last. It's very strange." Tuoba Rui analyzed.
Hua Ruge thought for a while, then said: "Normally, people who are cured will have an antibody inside their body, and won't be infected easily. This is strange indeed."
She frowned as she thought about it.
Tuoba Rui stretched out his hands to ease her frown: "I have already sent people to investigate, stop thinking, be careful or you might get tired."
"It's not like I'm made of paper. Besides, this is my old job. Leave it to me and I'll definitely settle it for you." Hua Ruge slapped his hand away and said confidently.
Although this matter was difficult to resolve, she felt that she could.
Tuoba Rui felt that this little girl was becoming more and more disobedient. It seemed that his recent temper was really good, she was no longer afraid of him.
However, other than continuing to spoil him, there was nothing else he could do.
Hua Ruge thought for a moment and said, "I got it, it's the source of the disease."
"Hmm?" These words drew Tuoba Rui's attention from her face to the topic of conversation.
"Such a big plague can't be randomly found. There must be a cause. It must be because you didn't find it, that's why you repeated it." Hua Ruge asserted.
"Then why is each time stronger than the last?" Tuoba Rui got the main point.
Hua Ruge's frown deepened.
Right, why is that?
Could it be that the source of the disease will continue to increase?
Tuoba Rui reached out his hands to pacify her frown. He really wanted to think about the issue with her, but he only missed her by her side.
Hua Ruge's train of thought was interrupted as he said unhappily, "Am I saying that you are a child? Can you be quiet for a bit? "
