Knock knock knock —

"Old Master Wang, are you here! Old Master Wang."

Outside the door, Bai Shiqi's voice reached everyone's ears, and he kept knocking on the door. He was so insistent that he seemed determined to knock down the gate of Ruiping Prince's Mansion.

How did he come here

Old Wang frowned, watching Yun Annan eating. He had a bad feeling about this.

Could it be that Bei Chen Yi knew Yun An An was still alive, and even knew she was at Rui's Prince Residence

This shouldn't be possible!

“You all just stay put here, I’ll go handle this.”

No matter what the reason, he would absolutely not allow Bai Shiqi to enter Prince Rui's mansion at this time.

Knock knock, what's that knocking You're going to kill me!

Opening the door, Old Master Wang glared fiercely at Bai Shiqi.

"Just get to the point, old man doesn't want to see you dilly-dally."

"Old Wang Ye, the Saint Emperor has something important to discuss with you. Please follow me into the palace."

Bai Shiqi is here to deliver the Holy Spirit's will. This matter concerns the murderer who blew up the imperial mausoleum.

"I've told you countless times, whenever anything involves Bei Chen Yi, don't bother me. Did a donkey kick you in the head or what Have you forgotten what I said"

Even if Old Master Wang knew Yun An'an was still alive and behind him, he could still not forgive what Beichen Yi had done, including Bai Shiqi in front of him.

"Old Wangye, this time you absolutely must enter the palace, someone said they saw the murderer who blew up the Imperial Tomb, it should be a man and a woman."

Bai Shiqi said the information he got on his way.

When the old master heard that it was a man and a woman, and that the woman had white clothes and red hair, his white eyebrows shot up.

Have you told Beichen Yi about this

"Huh"

Bai Shiqi was taken aback, not understanding what the old king meant by his sudden words.

"What the hell, have you told anyone else about this"

"I hadn't had a chance to say, I also heard it from an old man on the road."

He originally came to Lai Rui's princely mansion to deliver an imperial edict. On his way there, he encountered an old beggar. The old beggar had gone to the forest near the imperial tombs in the suburbs last night to collect firewood and make a fire. He saw a man and a woman going deep into the mountains toward the imperial tomb.

Shortly after, a loud boom came from the imperial mausoleum, followed by fire.

"Bai Shiqi."

Old Wang called out Bai Shi's name, his attitude unusually serious.

"Listen to me carefully, there's nothing between a man and a woman. That old beggar is lying through his teeth. Forget everything he just said to me."

"Why"

Bai Shiqi was even more muddled, strongly disagreeing with knowing the murderer's information. Why would she forget

"Go get me a leg, grandma! Are you done Get the hell out if you are."

With a bang, the door slammed shut. But just as Old Master Wang turned to close it...

Bai Shiqi actually saw a flash of white clothes and red hair from the crack in the door. In a daze, that face looked exactly like Yun An'an five years ago.

"Old Wang, open the door!"

Although Bai Shiqi knocked on the door with all his might, the gates of Rui Wang's mansion remained firmly shut.

Could it be… that he just had a hallucination

Back at the Rui Prince's Mansion, Old Wang sat across from Yun An'an and Bei Chenlin, with Apu still clinging to his side.

Beneath her white eyebrows, a pair of eyes the size of soybeans stared at the three with a scrutinizing gaze.

"This matter has nothing to do with Apu."

It was she and Beichen Lin who blew up the imperial tomb. Ap did not participate in this.

With Yun'an'an's words, Old Wangye finally understood.

"Are you guys really the ones who blew up the Northern Star Clan's royal tomb"

"Hmm."

Beichen Lin responded to Old Wang's question simply and directly, taking a handkerchief to gently wipe the oil stains from Yun An An's mouth.

"Eat some first, your cold poison is about to attack. Your digestive system is very weak during this time, so don't overindulge."

"Alright, old Wang, will you have some"

Yun'an saw the remaining half of the pastry and raised her hand to give it to Lao Wangye. Ordinarily, she wouldn't share pastries with others.

But as Bei Chenlin said, during the early and late stages of a cold poison attack, her digestive system weakens. If she eats too much like last time, her stomach is sure to ache for a long time.

"Do you take me for a glutton"

Although he said that, Old Master Wang naturally took the half-stuffed pastry that Yun Anan had broken off and started to eat it.

"You two little brats come back and stir up trouble right away, even blowing up your own ancestral graves."

While munching and fuming, Old King wanted to retort with another curse, but the obscenities died in his throat.

"I never in my dreams, even in a thousand thoughts, could have imagined that upon your return to the Northern Star Kingdom, the first thing you'd do would be to blow up the Imperial Tomb."

"Can you do something about this My father is buried in that imperial tomb!"

"You said you two must have gone swimming in your heads, doing something like this What a bad and reckless thing to do!"

Facing the old king's suppressed anger but not a trace of resentment, Yun Anan reached out and motioned for the old king to check her pulse again.

What are you doing

"Feel my pulse."

Old Wang Ye's two fingers explored Yun An An's pulse, and the results were the same as yesterday evening's examination.

He has a pulse, he's alive, but his skin is cold...and so on!

Suddenly, Old Master Wang widened his eyes. Last night, he was so frightened by the sight of Yun An'an that he didn't delve deeper into her pulse.

Today, upon taking her pulse again, he found An'an's pulse to be incredibly strange.

“This… what's going on Didn't you say you were fine”

As Old Master Wang sees, my life expectancy is less than three years left.

Yun An'an told the Old King, her reason for blowing up the Imperial Tomb was only to obtain the Xianyunzhi flower root from the coffin in the deepest part of the tomb.

To enter the imperial tomb, especially to open the thousand-jin stone door, one needs a key. But she didn't know who possessed it, nor did she want to find out.

Since we're going all the way, let's just blow up the imperial tomb with brute force and get the root of the Xianyunzhi flower.

"Less than ... three years."

Now that he's finally made it, why must Yun Annan still endure such torment

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye!

"Grandpa, please don't rush to mourn for Yun An'an. As long as we gather the seeds of Yunwu Qingsong, the rhizome of Xianyunzhi, and the fruit of Tianzhu, these three herbs can prolong her life and let her continue living."

Beichen Lin interrupted Lao Wangye's grief, telling him that if he used three kinds of herbs in the medicine, he could prolong Yun An'an's life.

"Really"

"What are you trying to fool me with I've already found the seeds of the Yunwu Qing Song and the roots of Xianyun Zhihua. All that's left is the Tianzhu fruit."

Beichen Lin stood up and walked behind Yun An'an, taking a wooden comb from the wooden box. He carefully combed through Yun An'an's long red hair that reached her ankles.

“Clouds and mist cypress seeds, heavenly bamboo fruit and Xianyun mushroom flower roots!”

Old Wang repeatedly went over the three medicinal herbs that Beichen Lin had mentioned, leaving only the Tianzhu fruit...

Perhaps You Changyuan knows where to find the Tianzhu fruit.

As the number one medicinal herbs merchant of the Seven Kingdoms, You Changyuan must know where Tianzhu Fruit is. Just find Old You then.

"Right"

It seemed as if something crossed his mind, and Old Wang's gaze once again fell upon Yun An An.

"In the capital city, who else knows you've returned"

What Old Wang meant was, who is the first person you see when you come back

Yun'an An still doesn't know what the old king's intention was when he asked this question, does she

"Yun Qianshan and Yu Changyuan still don't know, do they"

Old Wang tried him on, and when Yun Anan gave an affirmative answer, his smug expression was simply too proud to describe.

"Of course, it's you, Old Wang!"

"Hehehe, as I said before~ My position in your hearts must be much more important than those two old geezers!"

King Lao, overjoyed, stood up, adjusted his clothes, and with a hint of pride in his face, strode out of the Ruiqin Palace.

Before leaving, tell Yun'an and Beichenlin to stay out of trouble. He will go to Yantian Academy to get to the bottom of what happened with the Tianzhu fruit.

As he walked, Old Wang also hummed a little tune.

The guards of Prince Rui's Mansion were very curious. They hadn't seen the old prince this happy in several years. What identities did the two guests who came to Prince Rui's Mansion last night have

"Yun Girl, Beichen Young Master."

Just as Lao Wangye had left, Apu also bid farewell to Yun'an'an and Beichenlin.

He had already packed his belongings, and coincidentally, Young Master Beichen came to pick him up to give Miss Yun a last bowl of hot noodles before their parting.

"During this time, thank you to Miss Yun and Young Master Beichen for your care. After parting ways, I don't know when or where we will meet again. All I hope is that Miss Yun can be safe, happy, and harmonious with Young Master Beichen."

A pure and kind smile from Apu conveys the most heartfelt blessings. He truly hopes that Miss Yun can let go of the hatred in her heart and live a carefree life with Master Beichen.

"Be careful on the road, I have people waiting to pick you up."

The journey back to Xiling Kingdom is long. To show his gratitude for Apu's care of Yun'an, Bei Chenlin arranged for people to escort Apu back to Shangli Village safely on the way back.

"Thank you, Beichen Gongzi, and thank you, Yun Nv. Well... I'll be going now."

Apu bowed to the two before him, stealing one last glance at Yun An'an before turning and leaving Ruiqin Prince's Residence with his luggage in hand.

From the time he first arrived on Phoenix Immortal Island, he had grown accustomed to staying by Yun Girl's side. Even if all he could do was act as her horse groom or make a simple bowl of hot soup noodles, he was content.

As long as I see Yun Nv well-fed and warmly dressed, and occasionally catch a glimpse of her smile, that's enough for me.

But he also understood that he and Yun Girl were ultimately people from two different worlds, and he shouldn't burden her.

Apu left Prince Rui's mansion in a carriage.

Da da da, the sound of hooves echoed in my ears. Leaving the capital city, the carriage rolled forward on the road.

At this moment, a group of people appeared to block Ap's path.

"Apu, please make a trip for me."

Although the leading man's words were polite, his subordinates didn't hold back in their strength.

With a thud, a hand strike landed and Ap unconscious.

I don't know how long it has been.

When Ap finally woke up, he found himself kidnapped to a strange place. There were two people standing in front of him. narrowed slightly, Yun Anan smiled even more mischievously."Hee hee~"Could Shen Youran's actions be offset by ten thousand taels of gold and a broken beadThat's impossible.At the same moment, on a ca...
