Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

Chapter 145 The Tragic Queen with Space 2

The man admired Lin Tinghe's demeanor and actions, and told her that he was the ninth son of the current emperor, the ninth prince of the Duan Dynasty. He was hunted down by his brothers, so he fled to the back mountain with serious injuries and was rescued by Lin Tinghe.

I wanted to ask if Lin Tinghe knew medicine, but I didn't ask when I heard that she only ran a food store. However, I was very interested in the medicines used by Lin Tinghe. It was too hasty to ask now, so I might as well wait until I was familiar with her.

After making up his mind, the Ninth Prince left his identity jade pendant, said goodbye to Lin Tinghe, then left the village and rushed to Duancheng.

Lin Tinghe was completely absorbed in the idea that she had met her true love, and she spent the whole day smiling and daydreaming. However, her parents and sister respected her thoughts because they had a good life. With the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, her mother became pregnant with a boy. She no longer went to the shop to help, but stayed in her house in the city to take care of the baby. She had no time to care about Lin Tinghe's affairs.

After the Ninth Prince left, Lin Tinghe continued to run her food shop. However, she always missed the handsome Ninth Prince. As time went by, Lin Tinghe's business became more and more prosperous, but her heart was always empty.

Suddenly one day, Lin Tinghe received a letter from Duancheng, which was an invitation from the Ninth Prince, inviting her to Duancheng to attend a grand banquet. Lin Tinghe was very excited, she knew that this was her chance to meet the Ninth Prince again.

She dressed up carefully, brought the delicious food she made herself, and set out on the journey to Duancheng. With the jade pendant that marked her as the ninth prince, she reached Duancheng very smoothly along the way without being troubled by anyone.

The moment she walked into the Ninth Prince's banquet hall, the Ninth Prince's eyes were immediately locked on her, and they smiled at each other, as if no time had ever passed.

At the banquet, the Ninth Prince introduced Lin Tinghe to everyone and praised her for her unforgettable food. Lin Tinghe felt extremely happy and she knew that her destiny was about to change.

Although the Ninth Prince did not directly tell her her identity and the fact that he loved her, it also opened up a new situation for her food shop in Duancheng.

Lin Tinghe in Duancheng was not idle either, but continued to open a shop. With the support of the Ninth Prince, her business was in full swing. She even made the double-layer cake and longevity peach cake like in her previous life. The moment she pushed them out, the whole Duancheng was shocked by her shop.

Lin Tinghe was busy and flustered, but the Ninth Prince was sent to the front line by the Emperor. When they parted, the Ninth Prince told Lin Tinghe about his longing and reluctance, which made Lin Tinghe very happy. She hurriedly prepared a lot of dry noodles and lime warm rice from her previous life for the Ninth Prince overnight, and asked the Ninth Prince to take them to the front line to improve the soldiers' food. The Ninth Prince was shocked, and even boldly hugged Lin Tinghe in his arms, at a loss, and Lin Tinghe blushed with shame.

The Ninth Prince struck while the iron was hot and confessed his love and longing for Lin Tinghe, which made Lin Tinghe so embarrassed that she could not extricate herself. The Ninth Prince also took the opportunity to express his feelings and mentioned the medicine for treating the disease. Lin Tinghe then remembered that he had used the spiritual spring water to treat his illness before, so before leaving, he collected a large bucket of spiritual spring water at night and gave it to the Ninth Prince so that he could use it to treat the illness on the battlefield.

The Ninth Prince praised Lin Tinghe's ingenuity, kindness and gentleness, and vowed that when he returned victorious, he would propose to Lin Tinghe and persuade the emperor to grant them a marriage. In his excitement, he made a promise and vow to be together for the rest of their lives.

The Ninth Prince who returned victorious did not disappoint Lin Tinghe. Under pressure from everyone, he insisted on marrying Lin Tinghe as his consort despite opposition from others. Because of her military merits, the Emperor was not too bothered and just said he would consider it and the matter was dropped.

Lin Tinghe did not get the emperor's approval and marriage granting, but she was not discouraged. Instead, she used more means and things to help the Ninth Prince to sit on that position. Until the Ninth Prince successfully ascended the throne, he once again against all odds canonized Lin Tinghe as the Queen, and set up a fictitious harem for her. For a time, she made others envious and made all the noble ladies of the aristocratic families in Duancheng tear their handkerchiefs into pieces.

Lin Tinghe was not pregnant a year after being sealed. She thought it was because of the hard work of running the restaurant and cooking that hurt her body, so she increased her drinking of spiritual spring water. The seeds in the planting space also needed her to water and harvest them personally, so she would sometimes disappear in the space to work when no one was around.

After a year passed without worries, at a ceremony to worship the emperor and empress, the abbot of the Huguo Temple who was in charge of the sacrifice panicked and accused Lin Tinghe of being the reincarnation of a monster, who would affect the Duan Dynasty and harm its national destiny. He said that she must be burned to death in order to restore the Duan Dynasty's national destiny.

Lin Tinghe was wrongly accused and slandered by the abbot of Huguo Temple. She thought that Nantang Du, who had already proclaimed himself emperor, would explain for her, but unexpectedly he looked at her with horror and fear. He did not check the truth of the matter at all, but listened to the abbot's words and sent people to capture Lin Tinghe, wanting to burn her to death, the queen of a country.

The fire burned everything clean, but when Lin Tinghe opened her eyes again, she found that she was not burned to death, but was in a prison, hanging on a wooden rack, her body covered in blood.

At this time, Nan Tang Du came in leisurely and said:

"Hand over the magical water that can cure all diseases, and I will let you go."

Lin Tinghe showed a surprised expression, as if she couldn't believe it, and she kept her lips tightly pursed and refused to speak.

Nan Tang Du opened his mouth and uttered a few Buddhist maxims:

"The Sumeru contains the mustard seed, and the mustard seed contains the Sumeru. Lin Tinghe, as long as you hand over the holy water and the Sumeru mustard seed, I will let you go and will not let you suffer this kind of punishment again. I will also let your parents and siblings go. How do you do it?"

But Lin Tinghe still refused to speak, her heart was in turmoil, and she kept wondering how he knew such a big secret of hers?

Perhaps to dispel Lin Tinghe's doubts, Nan Tangdu said patiently:

"Lin Tinghe, don't deny it. I won't do this to you without solid evidence. There is holy water that can bring back a dying person in three days, cakes and delicacies that make people happy, dry noodles and lime rice that soldiers can take with them, and the breath that sometimes disappears in the bedroom. Oh, it disappears out of thin air inexplicably, and water comes out of your palm inexplicably. What else can it be if not the Sumeru mustard seed mentioned by Buddhists? The other side of the mustard seed connects to the fairyland? This is something from the fairyland? Are you the bridge between the Duan Dynasty and the fairyland? Tell me quickly, how can you give me this Sumeru mustard seed? As long as you let me be the connecting bridge, I will definitely do what I say and let your parents and siblings go."
