When Luo Cheng heard this, he really didn’t know what to say, but he was very happy.

His second brother deserved it!

However, this was only the beginning. There would be endless assassinations later on.

He would definitely let his second brother enjoy the feeling of living in fear.

“By the way, Young Master, what should we do about that bandit?” Zi Cheng thought of something and asked for instructions.

“Investigate if those four people had killed people before. If they have, capture them and hand them over to the authorities to deal with. If they’re kind-hearted, forget it. However, it seems that these four people aren’t good people, so send someone to keep an eye on them first. When the matter in the capital is settled, send them to Third Brother. I believe that with Third

Brother’s personality, these four people will receive their due retribution!” Luo Cheng said.

Zi Zheng nodded and remembered this.

After that, Luo Cheng began to urge everyone to make the antidote for mania.

By the time the third batch of antidote was made, the herbs were almost exhausted.

At this moment, the capital had returned to normal. Luo Cheng also brought Li Xiaoran back to the capital with the others.

It had been a few days since the empress dowager’s birthday. The emperor had been overwrought recently, so the birthday celebration had been postponed.

After Li Xiaoran received this news, she sighed.

“Why? Are you unhappy?” Luo Cheng asked when he saw Li Xiaoran’s unhappy expression.

“Yes, I miss home! No matter how good the capital is or how prosperous it is, it doesn’t feel like home. Staying here is also quite tiring!” Li Xiaoran said.

“Didn’t you say that you wanted to teach those people who schemed against us a lesson when we came? If we leave without even teaching them a lesson, wouldn’t that be a pity?” Luo Cheng teased.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately perked up.

“That’s right. I forgot why we’re here! Also, what’s her name? Yan Xiaoqiao? Yes, Yan Xiaoqiao, I haven’t taught her a lesson yet!”

At the mention of this person, for some reason, Luo Cheng’s heart skipped a beat.

“Speaking of which, what has Yan Xiaoqiao been doing during the chaos in the capital?”

As soon as he said this, Li Xiaoran immediately thought of something.

“Do you have any suspicions?”

“Not really. When you mentioned this person just now, I suddenly had an inexplicable feeling that this has something to do with Yan Xiaoqiao!” Luo Cheng said.

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she suddenly had a ridiculous thought.

“Husband, if those people could find so many people who look very similar to the princes, what about Yan Xiaoqiao? Could Yan Xiaoqiao also be fake?” As soon as this hypothesis was made, Luo Cheng felt unnerved.

According to this train of thought, Luo Cheng suspected that all the ministers in the government had been replaced.

Li Xiaoran also thought of this possibility and shivered.

“That can’t be possible! It’s not so easy to replace all the ministers. However, we can investigate Yan Xiaoqiao. I think she might be an imposter!”

Luo Cheng felt that Li Xiaoran was right. It seemed that he should send someone to investigate Yan Xiaoqiao again.

“Why don’t you tell your father?! Didn’t you leave this matter to him last time?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked. Luo Cheng thought about it for a moment and nodded.

“It’s time to see my father!”

“By the way, it’s all thanks to Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan for bringing the antidote this time. Bring it up in front of Old Master!” Li Xiaoran thought of something and said.

“You should ask Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan if they need it. Actually, it’s better not to tell anyone about this! To these two people, helping them hide it is the best way to protect them. Think about it carefully. The person behind this madness hasn’t been caught yet!” Luo Cheng reminded.

Li Xiaoran immediately understood after Luo Cheng reminded her.

“Stop talking! Let’s compensate them with something else! Meng Yan and Ma Chongshan will get married soon, so let’s give them a big gift!”

“Sure!” Luo Cheng nodded and said.

The next day after returning to the capital, Luo Cheng entered the palace.

Since Li Xiaoran had nothing to do, she brought Shu Ruyue and Wu Qinghe to the streets and alleys of the capital.

Thanks to the antidote developed by Luo Cheng, the oppressive atmosphere from the mania had been swept away.

The commoners, who had been locked up at home for a long time, ran to the streets to play.

The shops that were originally closed were now opening to attract customers.

The streets, which usually looked desolate, became lively and prosperous.

Shu Ruyue thought of something and said, “I wonder if my martial uncle and junior sister left before the capital got closed off?”

When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s words, she thought for a moment and said, “We’re out for a stroll, so why don’t we go to your mentor’s place to take a look?! Logically speaking, on the day of the accident, your martial uncle and junior sister should have still been in the inn!”

After that, the group took the carriage to the street on the other side of the capital.

Shu Ruyue’s martial uncle and junior sister were staying in this shop called Fulai Inn. When they arrived at the door of the shop, they realized that many people were preparing to leave with their luggage.

Seeing that the shopkeeper and the waiter were busy calculating everyone’s room fees, Shu Ruyue simply walked towards the room where her martial uncle and junior sister were staying.

However, the room was already empty.

At this moment, a woman walked out of the room after cleaning up. When she saw Shu Ruyue standing there, she immediately thought of something.

“Is your name Shu Ruyue?”

Shu Ruyue nodded quickly when she heard her name.

“Yes! I’m Shu Ruyue!”

“The guests in this guest room left a letter for you. It’s with the shopkeeper, so go to the shopkeeper and get the letter!” The woman said with a smile.

“Alright, thank you! When did the guests leave?” Shu Ruyue asked again.

“They left last night! After the city gate of the capital opened, many guests left. Therefore, there were many guest rooms that had to be cleaned. That’s why we cleaning up the guest rooms until today!” The woman explained.

After Shu Ruyue nodded, she thanked her again and went downstairs to look for the owner.

Li Xiaoran stood in the hall and waited. Amidst her boredom, she noticed something that happened on the street outside.

At that moment, a carriage galloped over and bumped into someone. However, not only did the person in the carriage not apologize, but the person even cursed.

Li Xiaoran found the voice familiar!
