Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

Just when Zeng Zhengen was busy building the house, Xiao Ruicheng, who was far away in Prince Liang's Mansion, also woke up from his coma.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in an exquisite room with simple and elegant furnishings, but he was a little confused for a moment and had no idea how he got here. His last memory was of being in the forest and vaguely seeing a familiar figure, and then he remembered nothing.

Who was that familiar figure? Why did he care so much? Xiao Ruicheng frowned, trying to recall what happened that day. Suddenly, all his memories came flooding back, and he finally remembered that figure—it was Zeng Zhengen! His nominal wife. But he was clearly looking for the missing children at the time, so why did she appear there? And where did those children go before he fell into a coma?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruicheng's eyes instantly turned cold. If Zeng Zhengen really lost those children, even if she was his wife, he would never let her go easily.

Just as Xiao Ruicheng was deep in thought, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. He suddenly came to his senses, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

The door was pushed open, and Leng Yi hurried in. Seeing Xiao Ruicheng wake up, he showed a look of joy on his face: "Master, you are finally awake! I will go and inform the prince. The prince has been worried about your situation."

Leng Yi was about to turn around and leave, but Xiao Ruicheng stopped him: "Wait a minute, don't be in a hurry, I have something to ask you."

Leng Yi immediately stopped, returned to Xiao Ruicheng's side, and stood respectfully.

"How long have I been unconscious?" Xiao Ruicheng asked in a low and solemn tone.

"Master, you have been in a coma for a month and a half." Leng Yi replied, "Later, the prince posted a reward notice and found a miracle doctor, who finally got rid of the poison in your body."

"Poisonous insect?" Xiao Ruicheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and frowned, "Are you saying that I was poisoned by a poisonous insect?"

Leng nodded slightly and continued, "Yes, Master. The doctor found that you were poisoned by a Gu, and the Gu had penetrated deep into your body. Fortunately, the doctor arrived in time and drove the Gu out, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruicheng became even more confused: "Why can't I remember when I was poisoned? Who poisoned me?"

Leng Yi immediately repeated what Zeng Zhengen had said before. After listening to it, Xiao Ruicheng finally understood why he had forgotten those things before.

Xiao Ruicheng asked him about what happened when he was unconscious, and then ordered Leng Yi to check the whereabouts of the villagers in Zhangguanbao.

After Leng Yi left the yard, he hurried to report to King Liang the news that Xiao Ruicheng had woken up.

King Liang was busy with official business, and when he heard the news that his son had woken up, he immediately showed joy. He couldn't wait to put down the affairs at hand and hurried to Xiao Ruicheng's yard.

"Cheng'er, Cheng'er--" The voice was heard before King Liang entered the yard.

When he walked into the room, he saw Xiao Ruicheng already dressed and sitting at the desk. Although Xiao Ruicheng's face was a little pale, he was calm and composed.

"Cheng'er, are you really okay?" Seeing this scene, King Liang still couldn't believe it. He had been worried about his son's condition, and even now that he saw Xiao Ruicheng was safe and sound, he still had a trace of doubt in his heart.

Xiao Ruicheng looked at King Liang and nodded calmly: "Father, I'm fine now, you don't have to worry anymore."

Although Xiao Ruicheng's tone was cold, King Liang didn't care at all. Instead, he was delighted. He was filled with joy and said repeatedly: "Good, good! This time it is really thanks to that miracle doctor, otherwise I don't know what to do!"

The King of Liang was filled with gratitude, and was glad that he had trusted Zeng Zhengen in the beginning, otherwise Xiao Ruicheng would not have recovered so quickly. Just as he was about to give Xiao Ruicheng a few more instructions to have a good rest, Butler Chen suddenly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the secret guards who went to Lingzhou City are back."

When King Liang heard this, he knew that the matter was of great importance. Although he wanted to spend more time with his son, he had to stand up and prepare to leave. Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Ruicheng suddenly said, "Father, now that I have recovered, why don't you let me go with you."

King Liang was stunned for a moment, then he smiled happily. This was a rare time that Xiao Ruicheng took the initiative to ask to go with him, King Liang was overjoyed and quickly said, "Okay! Since you are fine, let's go together!"

King Liang felt sorry for his son who had just woken up, so he stepped forward to help him, fearing that his body had not yet fully recovered. However, Xiao Ruicheng slightly turned sideways, avoiding King Liang's hand, and said in a leisurely tone: "Father, don't worry, I can walk by myself."

Xiao Ruicheng had been cold and aloof since childhood, and was used to being independent. He felt uncomfortable even when his relatives approached him. His every move was distant, which made King Liang feel helpless, but he did not say much, just sighed softly.

"Okay, walk slowly, don't be in a hurry." King Liang withdrew his hand awkwardly and restored his usual dignity. Then the father and son walked towards the hall one after the other, and Butler Chen followed behind.

In the hall, a man in black stood there straight, with a solemn expression. Seeing Prince Liang and Xiao Ruicheng coming in, the man in black immediately stepped forward and saluted: "I greet the prince and the prince."

King Liang waved his hand, his tone calm but still dignified: "No need to be polite, stand up."

"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Prince." The man bowed again before standing up.

"How is it? Has the matter been investigated clearly?" King Liang asked in a cold tone.

The man in black clasped his fists and responded very respectfully.

"In reply to Your Highness, the matter has been clarified. The refusal to accept refugees was an order issued by Lingzhou City Magistrate Zhou Zide." The man in black reported with a fist clasped.

Upon hearing this, King Liang frowned, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "What a Zhou Zide! I just gave the order to appease the refugees, and he actually dared to disobey the order and pretend to obey!"

He didn't expect Zhou Zide to be so bold as to openly disobey orders.

King Liang slammed the table and ordered in a cold voice: "Come here! Send someone to Lingzhou City immediately and bring Zhou Zide back to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several guards came in quickly, received the order and prepared to leave. But at this moment, Xiao Ruicheng slowly said: "Wait a minute."

King Liang was slightly stunned, then turned to look at Xiao Ruicheng with doubt in his eyes: "Cheng'er, why are you stopping me?"

King Liang thought that Xiao Ruicheng was going to beg for mercy on behalf of Zhou Zide, the prefect of Lingzhou City.

"Father, how about letting your son handle this matter?" Xiao Ruicheng said slowly.

King Liang was obviously stunned. He didn't expect that his son Xiao Ruicheng cared about him so much. He had just recovered and was thinking about helping him solve his problems.

Prince Liang's eyes were moist with emotion, and his tone was choked when he looked at Xiao Ruicheng.
