Xuexue helplessly let Long Rui look her over from head to toe: "I’m really fine."

Only then did Long Rui feel relieved and started nagging: "Wife, next time you encounter such a situation, don’t try to be brave and rush up. They’re all people who’ve lost their minds. If you accidentally get hurt by them, it’ll be troublesome."

In the end, he pitifully said: "Wife, do you know? Just now, when I saw you rush up, my heart skipped a beat, almost jumped out."

Xuexue didn’t believe it: "Really? How come I didn’t notice that?"

"Wife, it’s true. If you don’t believe it, feel it yourself." Long Rui grabbed Xuexue’s hand and placed it on his chest.

"Shameless."

Xuexue swiftly withdrew her hand.

Long Rui laughed: "We’re husband and wife, what’s shameless about it? Wife, you’re just too shy."

Xuexue whispered: "There are people."

Long Rui glanced at the people lying all over the ground and said: "They’re all unconscious; what are you afraid of!"

As soon as Long Rui said that, a coughing sound came from behind: "Cough cough cough...!"

He turned his head and saw it was the carriage driver, and fiercely glared at him, saying coldly: "If you don’t want to speak for the rest of your life, keep coughing."

The carriage driver was scared to death, quickly covered his mouth with his hand; he really didn’t mean to, didn’t know why his throat suddenly itched.

Long Rui: "Get back in the carriage."

The carriage driver trembled, saying: "Yes."

He vowed, he really didn’t mean to anger the War Prince.

The carriage driver turned, just about to climb into the carriage when suddenly, he heard Xuexue shout: "Wait."

The carriage driver paused, turned around, first glanced cautiously at Long Rui, then asked Xuexue hesitantly: "Madam, what are your orders?"

"Arrange these people on the ground for me." Xuexue pointed to the villagers lying crisscrossed on the road.

Long Rui furrowed his brows and asked: "Wife, what do you want to do?"

Xuexue: "While they’re unconscious, I want to check their pulse to see where the root of their illness lies."

Only then did Long Rui remember that Xuexue came for this matter, so he nodded in agreement.

The sides of the road were just grass, and the carriage driver and Long Rui quickly moved over twenty people to the grassy sides.

Xuexue checked their pulses one by one, but after looking all over, she didn’t notice anything unusual.

"Wife, what’s wrong?" Seeing Xuexue’s worried expression, Long Rui asked.

"Prince, their bodies are all normal, but why is this happening?" Xuexue sat on the grass, resting her chin in her hands, thinking hard.

Long Rui’s heart ached: "Wife, if you can’t figure it out, then stop thinking about it. I’ll arrange everything, and invite a few renowned doctors to help them."

"Okay!"

Xuexue nodded; for now, that was the only way.

At this moment, many villagers emerged from the village. At first, they didn’t dare approach, but after seeing the people lying on the grass, they cautiously came over.

Leading them was an old man, around sixty years old, wearing plain blue cloth. He surveyed Long Rui and Xuexue and then looked at the people lying on the ground, cautiously asking: "Young fellows, girl, what have you done to these people? You didn’t kill them, did you?"

Long Rui, facing away from them at first, turned around upon hearing this. Wearing a mask with a fierce face, he looked quite intimidating. The villagers were so frightened at the sight, they instinctively stepped back, fear evident in their demeanor.
