Chapter 23 Old Love?

an family's affairs."Look at you, with that deadpan expression like someone owes you a fortune. I'm the oldest royal prince in Bei Chen Kingdom, can I possibly deceive you"He has no conscience at all....Coca-Cola from 1982 is unavailable, but there's plenty of fried chicken.

In a pharmacy, Yun An'an rolled up her sleeves and made honey-glazed fried chicken. The tempting aroma made the old man of Zu'an drool with hunger.

"Fragrant, so fragrant, what a divine delicacy."

Another fried chicken was devoured. The old man took a sip of his wine, and the rosy flush on his face spoke volumes about his contentment.

"Girl, are you a cook Quit your job and come work for me. All the profits from the pharmacy will be yours. You just need to cook for me every day."

He urged Yun An'an to cook for him incessantly, his eager expression for talent being truly sincere.

"I'm afraid that won't work, my husband probably wouldn't allow it."

"How about this: every month when I come to buy medicine, I'll cook a delicious meal for you. But the condition is, you have to provide me with the medicine ingredients I need."

Yun'an'an stated the conditions, and the old man readily agreed.

"No problem, even if you want the moon in the sky, this old man will pluck it down for you. That's settled!"

Okay, deal.

Her intuition was right after all.

There was a pharmacy that had ninety-seven percent of the herbs she needed. To completely remove the toxins and love poison, she just needed three more ingredients.

A tiny apothecary had everything one could need, and though this old man was over sixty, he was full of life and vigor. It seemed he was no ordinary person.

On her way back to the prince's mansion with the medicine, Yun AnAn ran into Han Qing.

Or, perhaps Han Qing deliberately blocked her path home.

Inside the carriage, Yun Anan sat with her legs crossed, impatiently watching the man before her. She even felt a sense of disgust.

As soon as I saw Han Qing, I thought of how she vomited all over him yesterday.

Well then~

I can't even think about it, it makes me sick just remembering it.

"Yun'an, what expression is that"

"General Han thought whatever expression felt natural was the right one."

"Get out of the carriage, General. I have something to discuss with you."

Han Qing reached out to pull Yun An'an, but was kicked away by Yun An'an.

I said, General Han, are you out of your mind Or did you leave your brain at home I've seen you four times in two days. You'd think you were reluctant to let go of an old flame.

"Having said enough, I'm making it clear that I find you bothersome. General Han, for your own sake, please spare yourself the embarrassment of appearing before this princess again."

"Set off."

The sound of hooves faded gradually down the street.

Han Qing stood still, watching the carriage disappear into the distance. Yun An'an's cold and indifferent gaze echoed in his mind.

At this time, at the inn across the street.

A man, more handsome than any woman, with phoenix eyes slightly raised, took in everything happening on the street.

"Zhang Chun, do you think General Han still has feelings for Yi Wangfei"

The elder standing beside the man respectfully poured tea, his gaze following the man's line of sight to Han Qing.

"As for His Majesty's question, I don't understand the intricacies of love between men and women. Besides, General Han is already married to Miss Yun Er, and Miss Yun Da has married Prince Yi. There should be no interaction between them."

"As for me, I think our Beichen Kingdom's Regent has truly fallen for her. General Han is probably also reminiscing about old feelings."

A faint smile appeared in Beichen Han's eyes, his phoenix eyes lifted upward, though he was smiling, there was no warmth at all, only the cold calculation of a scheme.

On the other side, a carriage was parked in front of Yi Wangfu's gate.

As soon as Yun An'an got off the car, she saw a 'familiar face'.

When that 'acquaintance' saw Yun An'an, they instantly flew into a rage.

"Yun'an'an, you little wretch, this county princess is here to seek revenge from you."

The visitor was none other than Shen Youran.

"Well, well, if it isn't Princess Youran. What brings you here"

Yunan An handed her backpack to the guardsman, motioning for him to take the medicine pouch inside. She indicated that she would handle the rest.

The driver's bodyguard glanced at her, he wasn't worried about his own princess getting into any trouble, mainly that the princess would wear out the carefree county princess.

After all, she is the beloved daughter of Duke Shen Jun. Last time, it was Yu Ran Jun who took the initiative and was taught a lesson, so it's understandable.

This time, Princess Yu'an seemed to be prepared. If the Crown Princess really made a move, it would be troublesome.

"Don't worry, this princess won't suffer any losses."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The guard was worried that Yun An'an would be taken advantage of.

Outside the gate of Yi Wangfu, there were four other people who came with Shen Youran.

How would you describe these four people……

Dressed strangely, with a peculiar style. His hair was indescribable and looked like that of a "Sha Ma Te" or a non-mainstream youth.

I can't even tell if they are male or female.

"You little wretch, you poisoned me! If you're smart, you'll bring out the antidote. Otherwise, you'll regret it."

"No need for that. This princess is already a breathtaking beauty, there's no need to be even more beautiful lest I become a temptress who brings ruin to the nation."

Yun Anan smiled shyly, her smile made Shen Youran's teeth itch.

"Can't you hear that I'm scolding you,

Hand over the antidote."

Mentioning this, she even wished to dismember Yun An'an into eight pieces.

Every time it gets deep into the night, the toxins in my body would attack, leaving me with an unbearable itching all over. I've consulted countless renowned physicians, but none have been able to cure me.

...to the point where she now looks much worse than before, and her whole spirit is gone. All of this is thanks to that little wretch.

Today, I not only want to get the antidote back, but also let Yun An'an know what it means to be trapped in one's own cocoon and live worse than death.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten."

Since Shen Youran was taken back by Shen Jun Gong, the apology gift arrived, but nothing was said about the poisoning. She gradually forgot about it.

There is no antidote.

Yun'an'an answered concisely and crisply.

Not all poisons have an antidote.

"Yunan An, I see that you're not going to drink with me, so you'll have to take a penalty. Don't think just because Yi Ge is protecting you, you can act recklessly."

"What should I do Lord Yi dotes on me alone, and he even said that he will love me for all lifetimes, wanting to be with me forever. It's so embarrassing!"

"You shameless, wretched whore!!!"

Shen Youran was furious, her delicate face contorted with jealousy. She pointed a jade finger at Yun An'an and ordered the four shaven-headed thugs following her to kill Yun An'an.

"You four, kill this prostitute for me and the county princess will reward you handsomely."

Although the four Shamattes' appearances were quite outlandish, their ability to reach their current status in the martial arts world wasn't solely based on their exceptional skills but also on their intelligence.

It would take a madman to murder the Duchess of Yi right in front of the gates of Yi Manor under broad daylight.

If they had known that Shen Youran brought them here to kill Yun An'an, they wouldn't have come.

Seeing the four people standing motionless, Shen Youran was even more annoyed.

"Did I spend a fortune to have the four of you eat and do nothing"

"My Lady, this is the ten thousand taels of silver you gave me."

Outside the Yiwu Wangfu gates, the four members of the "Kill Matt Killer" squad each took out a silver banknote worth 10,000 taels and placed it on the ground.

"We won't take this job. In the future, Your Highness should find someone else for any assassination jobs."

As soon as the words left his mouth, four figures decisively turned and walked away.

"Well done, those who know when to yield are truly wise. Even Princess Youran should learn from them."

"Although this princess knows that your head, County Master, is just a decoration, but brains are a good thing to have. It's better to wear them when you go out."

When it comes to insults, Yun'an always gets the upper hand.

A little girl who hasn't even grown her hair yet wants to compete with me for a man, doesn't she know what she's capable of

"Ha~~"

Yunan's yawn made Shen Youran even more annoyed.

"There's nothing much happening in the manor, Your Highness. This concubine shall take her leave now. Oh dear, I must be worried. These days, the Duke has been working so hard every night, he needs to have plenty of nourishing soups. Hehe~"

This

one is very spirited.

Ignoring Shen Youran's vulgarity, Yun Anan turned and stepped into the Prince's Mansion, commanding the guards to shut the door.

Some random people are rushing in. If I accidentally kill someone, I'll have to dispose of the body.

Inside the palace, Bai Shiqi leaned against the door and watched the play for a long time.

He finally knew why he could never win an argument with Yun An'an, it was because this woman had no shame.

"What are you looking at"

Glancing at Bai Shiqi, Yun Anan walked into the kitchen and put on an apron.

"What do you mean"

Bai Shiqi glared back defiantly.

"Let's try another one."

"Give it a try."

With a loud thud, the frying pan flew out of the kitchen and hit Bai Shiqi's head with precision.

The surrounding guards scattered, looking at Bai Shiqi with a head full of soot. The other guards in the palace shared their sympathy.

Knowing full well that the consequences of arguing with the Princess were either a beating or being scolded, he still persisted in courting disaster. The entire mansion had no one else who dared to do such a thing besides Bai Shiqi.

What one has done oneself cannot be escaped!

It will be an hour before the medicine is ready.

Holding a bowl of medicine, Yun Anan walked into the study and saw the handsome man sitting at his desk. She pursed her lips.

"Wow, he's so handsome no matter how you look at him."

All the words cannot adequately describe his noble and handsome appearance.

A gaze that can make one fall at first glance.

Under the gaze of a burning stare, Beichen Yi's eyelids rose slightly, meeting Yun An'an's eyes.

Eyes as deep as the starry sky met a pair of profound and bottomless phoenix eyes. The gaze between the stars and the deep sea, in each other's eyes, they could find their own reflection.

"My beloved, you must surely be coveting my handsome face. Why not spend the night with me, sharing stories and laughter I'll make sure a place is prepared for you."

"Uncle, put on a face. Since you have the love toxin within you, don't go flirting around blindly, just take your medicine."

A bowl of inky black medicine, emitting a strong bitter smell.

Beichen Yi took the medicine bowl and drank the medicinal juice, his face expressionless.

This made Yun An'an, who was waiting to see the joke, frown.

"Not bitter, is it"

"Not bitter, with a slightly sweet aftertaste. My beloved, try it."

Looking at Beichen Yi's light and breezy demeanor, Yun An'an took the medicine bowl and delicately licked the rim.

Even a small bite could cause someone to die instantly.

"Beichen Yi, you lied to me, it's so bitter~~~~"

Yun An'an's little face was twisted into a frown, which amused the certain prince so much that he laughed out loud, even immorally."Just as she was about to say the words "Bei Chen Han," Yun An'an immediately changed her mind."I have two things to announce.""First things first, Your Majesty has decreed that only those who place w...
