1059 Surrounding the Lord’s Estate

Heilong, Hai Feng, and Zimo mobilized quite a few people and forces. They even personally took action and stole all the herbs from the various medicine shops and trading companies in the Imperial City. They did not even let go of the Golden Sea Pavilion and the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace.

If it was those medicine shops opened by ordinary people, they would leave behind the corresponding crystal coins. If it was those medicine shops opened by profiteers and evil people, they would not leave behind a single crystal coin. For example, the Golden Sea Pavilion and the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace. Not only had they plundered all the herbs, but they had also plundered other valuable things.

“Your Highness, the herbs from the various medicine shops and trading companies in the Imperial City are all here. It will take some time for the herbs from the other places to be transported over.”

“Very good. The sky is about to brighten. Send people to maintain order outside the door. If anyone comes to cause trouble, throw them far away.” Xue Fanxin did not want anyone to ruin her plans tomorrow.

Those innocent commoners were already pitiful enough. If anyone still made a fuss at this time, she would kill them.

When Little Lei received Ye Jiushang’s news, he brought Xue Batian and Gu Jinyuan back to the Lord’s Estate from the Moon Burial Ridge. The moment he returned, he saw Xue Fanxin and a group of people brewing pots of medicine in the courtyard. The entire courtyard was filled with the smell of medicine, and it was a little choking.

“Woman, what are you doing? The medicine smell is so strong.”

“My precious granddaughter, quickly come over and let me take a good look.”

“Grandpa, Little Lei, you’re back!” Xue Fanxin came over to greet everyone. Seeing Gu Jinyuan’s exhausted expression, she asked with concern, “Gu Jinyuan, what’s wrong? Your expression is so ugly. Are you feeling unwell?”

“I’m fine. I’m just a little tired. I’ll be fine after resting for a while,” Gu Jinyuan said with a forced smile.

During this time, he had been training himself in the Moon Burial Ridge. He trained according to Xue Fanxin’s training intensity and he was exhausted every day, but no matter how bitter or tired he was, he would persevere.

Because Ye Jiushang had suddenly given the order, his training could only be interrupted and he had to rush back to the Imperial City overnight. Therefore, he was very tired.

Xue Fanxin gave Gu Jinyuan a simple checkup. “Your body is severely overworked. You have to rest well. You can’t be too hasty in everything. You have to circulate your cultivation gradually, or it will backfire.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“I’ll give you a prescription to recuperate later. Use these pills first. Go back to your room and rest first.”

“Alright.” Gu Jinyuan did not stand on ceremony with Xue Fanxin. He took the pills she gave him and returned to his room to rest.

He was very clear about his current physical condition. He could not help at all if he stayed. He might even cause trouble for everyone. Therefore, he might as well return to his room to have a good rest and wake up tomorrow morning to help.

Xue Batian looked at Gu Jinyuan’s departing figure and sighed. “This child is really working hard. He can bear hardships.”

“That little training is nothing. Everyone in the Black Shadow Guard has been through this. If Gu Jinyuan wants to become stronger, he has to suffer like this. Otherwise, he can only be left behind.” Little Lei looked like he was used to it, not feeling that Gu Jinyuan’s suffering was considered bitter at all.

In fact, he had been training Gu Jinyuan recently according to the standards of the Black Shadow Guards.

If they were choosing the Black Shadow Guards, Gu Jinyuan would have already been eliminated.

Xue Fanxin was also a little emotional. Just as she was about to say something, the guards of the Lord’s Estate suddenly ran over to report. “Your Highness, quite a few people outside the estate are causing trouble. They’re clamoring for us to open the door and distribute the antidote. They even questioned the authenticity of the antidote, causing panic, causing the people queuing outside to be in a mess.”

“Those people are really bastards. They still don’t care about the lives of the commoners at a time like this.” Xue Fanxin was very angry and said angrily, “Throw those troublemakers far away. Whoever dares to cause trouble again can forget about obtaining the antidote. Also…”

Before Xue Fanxin could finish speaking, another guard ran over to report. “Your Highness, the imperial guards in the palace have surrounded the Lord’s Estate and chased away all those who are queuing up to receive the antidote.”
