Several complex expressions flashed across the Prime Minister's face, sometimes ashen, sometimes deathly pale. He simply couldn't believe what he was seeing. This was his daughter, whom he had cherished and raised with utmost care! Yet now he witnessed this—she had actually fallen in love with her longtime nemesis, even to the point of secretly harboring feelings for him! And whether that man reciprocated her feelings was still unknown… Thinking of this, an indescribable anger and disappointment welled up within the Prime Minister. His face alternated between pale and flushed. This was the daughter he had pampered and raised, secretly harboring feelings for his nemesis, and whether he reciprocated her feelings was another matter entirely. Wang Jingjing hadn't expected her father to be so furious. Her once rosy cheeks instantly turned ashen, devoid of any color. At this moment, her heart was filled with fear and unease, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She stared wide-eyed at her father, seemingly trying to find some comfort or explanation in his eyes, but his stern gaze only made her more afraid.
Next, Xue Ruanruan began searching for suitable suppliers to ensure product quality and safety. After multiple inspections and comparisons, she finally selected several reputable suppliers and established long-term partnerships with them. Simultaneously, she invited professional pharmacists and beauty experts to jointly develop cosmeceutical products suitable for different skin types and age groups, ensuring product effectiveness and targeted application. Regarding brand image, Xue Ruanruan aimed to create a warm and stylish cosmeceutical store. She meticulously designed the store's interior design, using fresh and natural color schemes to create a comfortable and pleasant shopping environment. Furthermore, she hired professional designers to create a unique brand logo and packaging, enhancing brand recognition. Finally, Xue Ruanruan developed a series of marketing strategies, including online and offline promotional activities, a membership system, and social media marketing. She actively promoted the cosmeceutical store's brand philosophy and product advantages using internet platforms and social media, attracting more consumers to pay attention and make purchases. She also launched a membership system, offering members benefits such as points redemption and birthday gifts to increase customer loyalty. After a period of preparation, Xue Ruanruan's cosmeceutical store finally opened. On opening day, the store was bustling with customers, who highly praised the products and services. Seeing the popularity of the pharmacy she had personally built, Xue Ruanruan felt incredibly proud and satisfied. She believed that with continuous effort and innovation, this pharmacy would definitely become a leader in the industry. The shop was decorated, all the necessary medicines were prepared, and there was a large supply of medicinal herbs available for immediate use. However, she hadn't told her grandmother and mother about it yet. She wanted to wait until everything was ready before telling them, to give them a surprise. Now, she needed to continue working hard to make the shop even more perfect! She hoped to surprise them with the opening ceremony; if this business was successful, the manor would never lack money again! Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile, as if she could already see a bright future. The trip to the frontier was also imperative; she had to go there personally. Her father and brother's fate was currently unknown, and especially since medical conditions in the frontier were extremely poor, if they were injured, they might not receive timely and effective treatment, delaying their recovery. She also wondered if her second brother had received the grain and medicinal herbs she had sent. Xue Ruanruan couldn't help but feel worried. After all, these medicinal herbs came from her space, and she had absolute confidence in her space, so she didn't have many doubts about their efficacy. However, faced with such a serious illness, she couldn't help but worry. She knew that the medicinal herbs produced by her space were of superior quality, but that didn't guarantee they could completely cure her second brother's illness. Although her heart was filled with expectation and hope, she also understood that medicine was a complex science, and even the best medicine couldn't necessarily solve all problems. She silently prayed that these medicinal herbs would exert their maximum effect and help her second brother overcome his illness. She believed in her second brother's strong will and perseverance, and also firmly believed that these precious medicinal herbs would be an aid to his recovery. In this difficult time, she was willing to do everything she could to support her second brother and let him feel the warmth and love of his family.
The vast rice paddies, the boundless wheat fields, the bountiful orchards, and the lush medicinal herb fields intertwined, creating a breathtakingly beautiful panorama that surpassed all the landscapes she had ever seen before. The soil here seemed to possess a magical power, completely different from the outside world. Even the experienced and hardworking tenant farmers, who meticulously tended their land elsewhere, found their crops sparse and scattered, their harvests far less than half of what she had achieved here. She deftly reached out and plucked a cherry, its alluring luster shimmering in the sunlight like a dazzling gem. She carefully placed it in her mouth, took a gentle bite, and instantly, a rich sweetness exploded in her mouth. Juice flowed down her throat like a clear spring, nourishing her long-parched heart. Lost in this exquisite taste, her gaze was involuntarily drawn to the pear trees not far away. The pear tree was laden with golden fruit, hanging heavily from the branches like little lanterns, a delightful sight. A gentle breeze rustled the tree, making it sway softly as if beckoning her to taste its sweet fruit. She rose and walked to the tree, plucked a bright red apple from a low-hanging branch, and took a bite. The sweet juice burst in her mouth, giving her an indescribable sense of satisfaction, as if all her worries had vanished in that instant.
General Xue Yan, the Grand General Who Guards the Nation, is one of the most outstanding generals of this dynasty. Born into a family of generals, he learned martial arts from a young age, displaying exceptional talent and inheriting family skills, making him highly proficient in archery, horsemanship, and swordsmanship. Upon reaching adulthood, he joined the army, experiencing countless battles large and small, achieving numerous victories and earning widespread renown. Xue Yan was not only brave and skilled in battle but also possessed extraordinary wisdom and leadership abilities. He was adept at understanding the battlefield, seizing opportunities, and commanding with unwavering resolve, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies. His army was disciplined, highly motivated, and extremely powerful, becoming a formidable force for the court. However, the invincible General Xue had a hidden weakness—his younger sister, Xue Ruanruan. Xue Ruanruan was frail and sickly from childhood, and Xue Yan doted on her, their sibling bond deep. When he learned that his sister possessed a mysterious space and planned to cooperate with the Regent in business, he was filled with apprehension. He knew that the business world was like a battlefield, where intrigue and scheming were no less intense than the open and covert struggles on the battlefield. He decided to meet the regent in person to understand his character and abilities, ensuring his sister's safety and interests. Therefore, Xue Yan secretly investigated the regent's background and past experiences. After a thorough investigation, he discovered that the regent was no ordinary person, possessing exceptional intelligence and business acumen, enjoying a high reputation in the business world. Moreover, the regent was upright, honest, and always fair and just in treating his partners. This earned Xue Yan's respect. Ultimately, Xue Yan decided to trust his sister's judgment and support her cooperation with the regent. He believed that with their joint efforts, they would surely succeed and bring greater benefits to the country and its people. Besides his military talent, Xue Yan also possessed noble character and unwavering loyalty. He was utterly devoted to the country, placing its interests above all else. He was incorruptible, indifferent to fame and fortune, and single-mindedly dedicated to protecting his country. He cared for his soldiers, sharing their hardships and winning their love and support. In the court, Xue Yan enjoyed the emperor's trust and high regard. He was repeatedly entrusted with important tasks, suppressing rebellions, resisting foreign invasions, and safeguarding national security. His achievements were recognized and praised by the court, earning him the title of "Pillar of the Nation." However, he did not become arrogant or complacent, but continued to strive to make greater contributions to the country and the people. The Xue family was a family of loyal martyrs, a family of heroes, with loyalty and righteousness passed down through generations. They were loyal to the country and the people for generations, sacrificing their lives to protect the country and maintain social peace. The men of the Xue family were brave and fearless, fighting on the battlefield, defending the dignity of the motherland with their blood and lives; the women were equally brave and strong, supporting their husbands, educating their children, and passing on the family's spirit of loyalty and righteousness. The story of the Xue family is full of tragic and moving events, showcasing the traditional Chinese virtues of loyalty and righteousness. Murong Xun walked slowly into the Regent's Palace with heavy steps, his eyes revealing a trace of weariness and helplessness. The servants in the palace bowed when they saw him return, but Murong Xun did not respond at all, and went straight to his study. Upon entering the study, Murong Xun sat at his desk, staring blankly ahead, his thoughts drifting. Xue Ruanruan felt a blur before her eyes and found herself in the space. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, an indescribable excitement welled up within her. Everything here seemed so tranquil and mysterious, as if time had stood still. She took a deep breath, feeling the spiritual energy permeating the air, gradually calming her emotions. Then, she began to observe the space. Xue Ruanruan walked to the spiritual spring, looking at the crystal-clear water, wondering, "I wonder if this spring water has any other effects." She knelt down, scooped up some water, and drank it. Instantly, a cool sensation spread throughout her body, and she felt her spirits invigorated. She decided to collect some spring water to take out and study. Xue Ruanruan found several bottles and filled them with the spring water. Next, she went to the fields and picked some ripe fruits and vegetables, intending to take them out for her family to try. After doing this, Xue Ruanruan left the space. Looking at the bottle and fruits and vegetables in her hands, she was filled with anticipation. She hoped that this spiritual spring water and food would bring some benefits to her family, and that she could make better use of this space to create more happiness for her family and friends. Next, she went to the field and saw the various rare medicinal herbs growing there. An idea struck her: "If I could take these herbs out and sell them, I'd definitely make a lot of money." She carefully dug out some herbs, preparing to take them out and try.

She saw a prosperous scene with fertile land, clear rivers, and beautiful buildings. She also saw many people working, their faces beaming with happiness. In the jade pendant space, Xue Ruanruan met a regent. He was a handsome and talented man, deeply respected and loved by the people. With the regent's help, the people of the jade pendant space lived better and better lives. They were grateful for the regent's help and also deeply respected Xue Ruanruan. The Left Prime Minister's power in the court was astonishing! He not only wielded immense power but also colluded with numerous powerful figures, forming a complex network of power. This network enveloped the entire court, inspiring awe and fear. His disciples were scattered throughout the court, each loyal to him and willing to go through fire and water for him.

His gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing through the barriers of time and space, directly into the depths of Xue Ruanruan's heart. She could even feel the powerful and mysterious force in his eyes trying to probe her deepest thoughts.
