Chapter 100 - Risk-free Profit

ked, "How is she…"Yun Muhan remained silent for a moment before slowly releasing the hand he had been holding. He glanced at Yun Qianmo once more before addressing Princely Uncle Yun, "She has lost he...Chapter 100 A Sure-Win Deal

For ten years, he struggled against the bitter cold poison and stubborn diseases; for ten years, she endured silently under the tyrannical rule of the imperial power.

From today onwards, they had grown up! His illnesses were gone without a trace, and she no longer needed to endure or偽裝。隻有他們自己知道，這十年一路走來，歲月漫長，走到今天，是多麼艱難。

He nearly gave up several times, his heart desolate; she narrowly escaped death multiple times from the assassins of imperial power.

After countless twists and turns, entangled and intertwined for ten years, they finally reached this point where their hearts merged as one. At this moment, only they could comprehend what it felt like in their hearts. It couldn't be simply described as difficult.

Yun Qianyue's eyes stung with emotion as she rubbed against Rong Jing for comfort but found that the more she did so, the sadder she became.

Rong Jing reached out to embrace her slender figure and patted his shoulder gently, soothingly saying, "Yun Qianyue, don't cry. Otherwise, you'll have to wash this shirt."

"Then I will cry! And I won't wash it," Yun Qianyue pulled on his clothes with force, feeling the soft fabric against her hand just as she felt in her heart.

Rong Jing sighed helplessly and said softly, "You've grown up. Why are you still acting like a child"

Yun Qianyue huffed silently without speaking.

Rong Jing looked at her affectionately without pushing her away and smiled warmly.

"Little miss, aren't you ashamed There are so many people watching us. Do they all think we're dead" Night Qingran's displeased voice rang out, indicating his intent to separate them.

Yun Qianyue emerged from Rong Jing's embrace and glared at Night Qingran with reddened eyes. "What if I am not ashamed"

Night Qingran strode forward suddenly, pulling out a jade hairpin from his sleeve and placed it in her hair before she could even see its design. He sternly said to her, "Since you've grown up, how can there be no coming-of-age ceremony given by me You're not allowed to take it off! Understand"

Yun Qianyue reached for the hairpin but Night Qingran swatted her hand away.

Yun Qianyue's hand was stung and she dropped it, looking at Night Qingran's menacing glare with a mix of anger and amusement. "If I'm not taking it off then why did you hit my hand I just wanted to see if your gift is worth anything"

"The things this little prince gives are naturally valuable! Go back and look later, but keep it well for life, do you hear me" Night Qingran was domineering.

Yun Qianyue rolled her eyes. "I heard that! Is there such a thing as giving something while being so stern"

"This is how I make sure you remember!" Night Qingran suddenly laughed and looked smugly at Rong Jing standing by the side, saying, "Weak beauty, don't be too proud. There are many people who like it when someone treats a little girl well, and those who end up with her aren't necessarily you."

Rong Jing glanced idly at Night Qingran, his gaze light as smoke, his voice equally indifferent. "If that person isn’t me, then there is no one else in this world."

The others were stunned by Rong Jing's casual remark.

Night Qingran snorted and curled his lips. "Self-righteous!"

"Are you usually so idle today, Prince Night" Rong Jing raised an eyebrow at Night Qingran.

“Weak beauty, with all these people here, are you calling everyone idle too” Night Qingran shot back with a lifted brow.

"Whether they are idle or not, I don't know, but you're certainly idle today!" After Jun Rong finished speaking, he turned his gaze away from Ye Qingran and asked Yun Qianyue instead, "Are we heading back to the manor Or would you like to take a stroll on this Fushoushan Mountain"

"Take a stroll on Fushoushan!" Yun Qianyue chose the latter option.

"Then let's go! We've got nothing more to do here for now! Let's head to Fushoushan for a walk!" Jun Rong reached out and grabbed Yun Qianyue’s hand. Before his words had even ended, he was already lifting them both into the air and flying away from their original spot.

All present felt two blurs of light before them, and upon looking again, they found that Jun Rong and Yun Qianyue were nowhere to be seen. They were all shocked for a moment, then looked at each other in bewilderment—had the Young Master Jing and Miss Shallow Moon really just left them behind like this to go on their own stroll up Fushoushan Mountain

"Weak Beauty!" Ye Qingran had not expected Jun Rong to leave so suddenly and called out.

There was no response from either Jun Rong or Yun Qianyue, whether they didn't hear him at all or simply chose to ignore him.

"Little Girl!" Ye Qingran shouted again.

No reply came back from Yun Qianyue.

Ye Qingran wanted to chase after them but noticed the angle of their departure was very unusual, like the martial technique that Yun Qianyue had used against the royal family’s secret master at Ye Tianyu’s wedding. Even if he saw them leave right in front of his eyes, he wouldn’t be able to find them precisely, let alone on a mountain where people were everywhere and their breaths mixed together chaotically. They didn't even have to hide their own scents; they would simply blend into the scents of thousands. It was utterly impossible to track them down. Frustrated, he stamped his foot in anger, "Damn it! Did they really just leave us like this Where did they learn such propriety"

"Haha, I’ve never seen a coming-of-age ceremony quite like this before!" Nan Lingrui burst out laughing suddenly. "They left so well! So skillfully! Today the Young Master Jing has truly opened my eyes—was he waiting impatiently for his adulthood Did he immediately whisk away that little girl to have their wedding night"

As soon as Prince Rui finished speaking, everyone sighed in unison.

Night Tianyi’s expression darkened and he looked at Nan Lingrui. "Prince Rui should be cautious with his words. They are all engaged to be married; they would not act so shamelessly."

"That’s not necessarily the case! Sometimes propriety is like a scallion or garlic—once you chew on it, it's gone. It can’t stop lovers from doing what they want." Nan Lingrui didn't seem to notice Night Tianyi’s stern look as he smiled with satisfaction. "I really do like this kind of thing! For thousands of years there have been too many rules and conventions. Now is the time for a change! If lovers don’t end up together, I fear that in the future every inch of this world will be haunted by heartbroken men and women. The end would not be far off."

"Prince Rui, we are on Fushoushan Mountain now! You treat the ancestral propriety passed down through the ages like it's nothing, does that mean South Liang’s king didn’t raise you well Disrespecting your ancestors and disregarding rules of conduct Furthermore, you’re standing on Heavenly Saint territory, showing no respect to our royal family. If this reaches my father’s ears, I fear he’ll ask for the South Liang king to discipline Prince Rui properly." Night Tianyi's voice was even lower as his eyes were like a deep well, "People must be trustworthy and virtuous in order to stand upright in society. Some things are not decided by love alone. How do you know that heartbroken men and women won't end up together"

"I know for sure that they will never become lovers," Nan Lingrui said with a tilted head as he listened to Night Tianyi. When the latter was finished speaking, he suddenly laughed loudly and turned back to Ye Qian happily, "For example: take me and this Princess Ye, for instance! I’m now in love with Beauty Luo Yao of Donghai Kingdom, while she is smitten by Young Master Muhan of Yunwang Manor. This has led the heartbroken man and woman—this little王爺—Qingran to step away from the situation entirely. Do you think that this sort of thing is worth comparing"

Ye Qian glared at Nan Lingrui, angry, "And you have the nerve to bring it up!" After saying this, she nudged Cloud Muhan with her arm and said, "Muhan, can you beat him If so, quickly shut his mouth for me. I really don’t want to hear him squawking like a peacock."

Cloud Muhan smiled and shook his head before looking at Nan Lingrui and saying, "I can't beat him!"

"Ye Qingran, what about you Can’t you beat him either" Ye Qian looked at Ye Qingran.

Ye Qingran hummed in displeasure as he waved his hand dismissively, "This little prince is annoyed by both of you. With the Weak Beauty having come-of-age and Little Girl’s ceremony completed, what are the two of you still doing here Get back to South Liang and Nanzhong quickly!"

"We’re leaving today! Who wants to stay in this godforsaken place" Ye Qian reached out and grabbed Cloud Muhan's hand. "Muhan, let’s go. We're heading home!"

Cloud Muhan stood up with a smile on his face as he nodded, "Yes, all right. It’s still early in the day; we can leave without delay."

"Princess Ye and Mister Yun, are you leaving now The feast is prepared down below. You don’t have to rush off so soon; stay a couple of days longer," said Duke De as he hurriedly stood up to detain them.

The Filial Piety Duke and the rest were also in shock from Jun Rong and Yun Qianyue suddenly leaving everyone behind, but seeing Ye Qingran wanting Princess Ye and Young Mister Yun to leave already made them all stunned. The Filial Piety Duke quickly said, "That’s right, Princess Ye and Mister Yun, you don’t need to hurry back; a feast is prepared down below."

"We came here just for that woman's coming-of-age ceremony. Now it’s over, we have to leave! Besides, she left us without hesitation—why should we stay" Ye Qian shook her head and walked down the mountain with a boldness in her step. She turned back after two steps and said, "Nan Lingrui and Xi Yan Yue, are you leaving We can travel part of the way together!"

Nan Lingrui got up and stood, then said after a moment's thought: "Although I really don't want to travel with you, Woman, I still wish to have a drink along the way with Brother Muhan in thanks for him taking on this little vixen."

Ye Qian gave Nan Lingrui an evil eye. "Don’t say bad things about me or you’ll die"

"Probably so!" Nan Lingrui said solemnly.

Ye Qian was furious and just wanted to retort when Yun Muhan took her hand, smiled warmly, then looked at Nan Lingrui. "It would be best if Prince Ming invites us along for the trip as we can have company." Then he turned to Xi Yan Yue, "Prince Yan of Xi Yan could also travel with us out of the city and for a hundred miles. If there's nothing else going on, why don't you come along too"

"Alright! Let’s do that!" Xi Yan Yue nodded in agreement.

The few people came to an instant consensus, leaving no room for any other comments.

Ye Qian looked at Yu Zishu. "Prince Yu, great beauty, I actually wanted to invite you to the Southern Frontier but don't know if it's a pleasure"

Yu Zishu smiled and shook his head, saying gently, "Perhaps one day I will pay a visit to the Southern Frontier in which case I hope Princess Ye won’t mind!"

"Of course! If you come, we’ll give you our best hospitality! But it’s just that no matter how hard I try, I can’t persuade you to grace us with your presence." Ye Qian said.

"Others might not be able to invite me over but if Princess Ye invites, then there's a chance," Yu Zishu smiled gracefully.

“I see, so I actually have such influence! I thought only Yun Qianmo was so lucky! Alright, we’ll set that on stone. One day when Prince Yu is free, come to the Southern Frontier and you will definitely be greeted with warmth." Ye Qian said.

"Alright!" Yu Zishu replied with a smile.

Suddenly Nan Lingrui turned around and walked over to stand beside Yu Zishu. He put his arm around Yu's shoulders in a friendly manner and smiled at him, speaking in a tone only they could hear: "Originally I should have given that little girl her second hairpin ceremony, but she gave it to you instead, showing that you are more important to her than me."

Yu Zishu did not push Nan Lingrui away and looked at him with a gentle smile.

"Actually, compared to Xiao Jing's black-hearted one, I like you better. You two really resemble each other sometimes," Nan Lingrui said: "I’m not a good brother, so how about you take over in the future Take care of her more carefully After all, considering that our mother is your aunt, you are also her brother!"

Yu Zishu smiled and nodded. "That’s right."

"If I marry your sister then we’ll be even closer relatives, what do you think" Nan Lingrui continued.

Yu Zishu raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at Nan Lingrui: “Lu Yao”

“Hmm! That woman I like. She’s got a firm personality and it's said that Ye Qian resembles that little girl sometimes, but I think her stubbornness is more similar to Xiao Jing," Nan Lingrui said: "She guarded the Tian Snow Mountain for an entire month in order to give Rong Feng a small tiger, and chased after a snow fox until it couldn’t run anymore. I really can’t find anyone who matches Ye Qian’s nature besides Lu Yao. Ye Qian is also stubborn but she has too many reservations; her stubbornness is mixed with too much impurity so it's not as pure or admirable as theirs."

Yu Zishu’s eyes flashed slightly: "Although you say that, can you actually marry her My sister isn’t an ordinary woman. It’s said she came to the Heavenly Kingdom together with you but left halfway through and now no one knows where she is."

"I only want to marry women who aren't ordinary," Nan Lingrui replied: "Let her play around more if that's what she wants, but in the end I’ll still catch her!"

“You're serious" Yu Zishu looked at Nan Lingrui.

"Even truer than real gold!" Nan Lingrui said with a laugh and nodding.

If you really can marry her, that would be great. It will also prevent Xiao Jing and Yun'er from being troubled by her," Yu Zishu smiled faintly: "Back then Auntie impersonated her and went to the Lan Family as well as Nanyang, which was probably this idea. Although she watched Zi Luo grow up, she likes Lu Yao very much. And with that unyielding personality of hers, wanting everything to be the best, she wanted to see what all the fuss is about Prince Xiao Jing who has an entire sky’s worth of glory and honor. After seeing him and finding he’s good enough to match her expectations and there being a marriage arrangement between them, how could she yield That's why she got involved with Prince Xiao Jing and Yun'er. Since Auntie already knew about their relationship, she wouldn’t allow Lu Yao to disrupt it either, especially since she likes her too. So she came up with the idea of impersonating her and leading her to you.

"I knew that woman would favor the little lass!" N Lingrui muttered. "How could she disguise herself as anyone else but that celestial beauty"

Jade Zi Shu chuckled softly, then said: "Lu Yao is the most beautiful woman in our Eastern Sea Kingdom aside from Auntie. Apart from her physical condition which prevents her from cultivating internal energy since childhood, she excels in all areas of literature and martial arts—there's nothing wrong with her at all. There are so few men who can match up to her in this world. She has always had high standards for herself and wants a husband who is among the best in the world. Auntie sent her here indirectly, how could you say she doesn't treat you well"

N Lingrui snorted, then suddenly smiled as he asked softly: "Can you help me I don’t believe that woman has no weaknesses."

Jade Zi Shu blinked and said slowly: "There is indeed a weakness, but this prince never does unprofitable deals. She’s my own sister."

When N Lingrui heard this, his eyelids flickered. "Prince Jade, I didn’t know you were so good at business!"

"Now that you know" Jade Zi Shu smiled pleasantly.

N Lingrui gritted his teeth and asked: "What do you want then"

"Keep Auntie with the Heavenly Saint Sect to help Yuner!" Jade Zi Shu proposed.

N Lingrui immediately frowned angrily. "Impossible!"

"Then we can't continue this deal. Lu Yao is almost perfect, but that’s only almost. She simply hides her weakness well enough for no one else to notice it— even Father and Mother, Uncle Hua, the officials of our Eastern Sea Kingdom, all believe she has no flaws and see her as a flawless woman in everyone's heart. But I just happen to know one of her weaknesses." Jade Zi Shu smiled at N Lingrui. "Are you sure we don’t want to continue this discussion"

N Lingrui stared at Jade Zi Shu, asking: "Why do you treat the little lass so well Now that my father is by her side and my mother has come too, won't she be able to take over Heavenly Saint’s territory with ease if she has them as assistance"

"I don’t care what she wants. I just think Heavenly Saint isn’t peaceful enough now; maybe it will become chaotic from today onwards. And after Lu Yao turns 16, I have to return to the Eastern Sea Kingdom and can't stay long. I’m worried about her, but if Uncle Hua and Auntie are with her, then I’ll feel at ease." Jade Zi Shu said.

N Lingrui snorted. "Knowing one small weakness of Lu Yao compared to having my mother help me is not a good deal; this prince won’t do it."

"Lu Yao grew up in the Eastern Sea’s Imperial Palace but she's certainly no naive woman who has lived her life secluded inside a palace. She understands politics very well and, moreover, she has read through historical books, military strategies, and geography of different regions around the world—she even studies governance systems of various countries. Having one person like her is equivalent to having tens of thousands of troops. With her by your side aiding you, those brothers in N Liang will probably be nothing to you. And now Heavenly Saint’s sky is about to turn chaotic; Yuner's situation compared to yours is much worse, and there's still the Seventh Prince keeping an eye on her as well. Auntie has a carefree nature and since she’s older now— even though you are her son, those brothers in N Liang are also her nephews—and it wouldn’t be proper for her to compete with juniors or act behind their backs; she always leaves room for maneuvering instead of being overly cautious. The help she can provide is limited. But Lu Yao isn't the same—she's at her prime, shrewd, and intelligent, with an ironclad resolve and a wealth of knowledge in her heart. She’s well-versed in both literature and martial arts. Although she doesn’t have inner strength, it’s not easy for others to kill her either. If you bring such a woman by your side, think about how much help she can provide!" Jade Zi Shu said with a smile.

N Lingrui's eyes lit up: "If I lose my mother and gain Lu Yao, is this deal not at a loss"

"Of course it’s not at a loss. Not only that, you’re actually profiting from it; indeed, the profit is assured." Jade Zi Shu nodded with a smile.

“But now I don’t know where she is That woman managed to escape from me! Today Xiao Jing came of age and Xiao Yao turned 16. I thought for sure she would appear but didn't see her anywhere.” N Lingrui frowned.

"I think you needn't worry about this. As soon as you return to N Liang, I will send Lu Yao there for you. How does that sound All you have to do is agree to keep Auntie with Yuner." Jade Zi Shu said with a smile.

N Lingrui narrowed his eyes and looked at Jade Zi Shu: "Do you know where she is"

"I can find her using the fastest means. She might be able to evade others, but not me." Jade Zi Shu calmly stared at N Lingrui, certain that he would agree.

“Fine! As long as you bring her to N Liang for me and tell me about her weakness so I can control her. Forget giving one mother to the little lass, even if it's ten mothers, I'll give them all to her.” N Lingrui immediately nodded upon hearing this.

Jade Zi Shu coughed lightly as he reminded him: "Auntie will likely be heartbroken when she hears you say that. What was that saying Marry a wife and forget your mother."

N Lingrui snorted in disdain: "My mother is closest to my father, so naturally I’ll be closest to my wife. Why should she feel hurt Letting her stay with the little lass and with Father—she’d be overjoyed! For all I know, when I tell her this, she might laugh until her teeth fall out."

Jade Zi Shu chuckled softly: "You certainly understand Auntie well."

"Hurry up and tell me! What is that woman's weakness" Nanyingrui couldn't wait to ask.

"Luo Yao fears cats!" Yuzishu spat out four words.

Nanyingrui blinked his eyes, "How afraid is she There are no cats in the East Sea Palace"

Yuzishu shook his head, "Not only does the East Sea Palace have cats, but it has quite a few. She also keeps a cat, but never allows her cat to get close to her. I said that she’s not ordinary; she hides her weaknesses well and no one can see through them, not even her closest attendants. It all depends on how you use this knowledge."

Nanyingrui suddenly laughed, "What an interesting woman! This Prince will have her." With those words, he dropped his arm from Yuzishu’s shoulder and smiled at him, saying, “Prince Yuzishu, feel free to visit the South Liang Kingdom. I won’t mention your fondness for men outside."

The two had been whispering in secret the entire time; their conversation was extremely quick. Everyone just saw that Yuzishu kept smiling while Nanyingrui started with a smile, then got angry and smiled again. They didn't understand what they were talking about until Nanyingrui suddenly spoke his last sentence out loud, causing everyone to be startled.

Yuzishu’s smile remained unchanged as he gently brushed at his sleeve and said, "Prince Ningrui misheard me. This Prince not only likes men but also women. I like both."

The crowd collectively gasped.

Nanyingrui had been about to leave after saying that, but was startled by Yuzishu’s words and turned back to look at him with a black line on his face, "Prince Yuzishu, you really know how to joke. Aren't you worried about damaging your reputation"

"Prince Ningrui said he likes Zishu and isn’t afraid of damaging his own reputation," Yuzishu raised an eyebrow.

Nanyingrui’s eyelids flickered, and he suddenly laughed. He nodded and said, "You’re right, this Prince does like you, but when you say that you like me and want to go to the East Sea with me, this Prince can’t abandon my family and country for your sake. So let's end it here!" With those words, he turned around and walked towards Ye Qian, Yun Muhuan, and Xi Yan Yue who had been watching him and Yuzishu.

Ye Qian saw him coming over and pursed her lips before turning to leave.

Yun Muhuan smiled but didn’t say anything as he followed Ye Qian.

Taking a few looks at Nanyingrui, Xi Yan Yue suddenly stuck out his foot to kick him. "Didn't you also say that you like this Prince Why are you flirting with Prince Yuzishu all of a sudden You’re truly fickle! I’m glad I didn’t fall for your lies."

Nanyingrui had been walking leisurely but was suddenly kicked by Xi Yan Yue. Even though he dodged in time, the kick still brushed against him and made him stagger before he could regain his balance. He glared at Xi Yan Yue, "This Prince likes to speak my mind; do you believe me This Prince likes women! Not men!"

"So Prince Ningrui speaks nonsense," Xi Yan Yue said coldly as he walked down the mountain.

Nanyingrui glared at him in place and, after a moment of thought, ran to catch up with him.

The four people's steps were extremely quick, walking far away in no time. The sound of their footsteps was faintly heard among the noisy crowd on the mountain, making it hard for anyone to make out what they were saying.

Everyone on the mountain looked at each other, wondering how this situation had come about. These four important guests didn’t even stay to eat and left so quickly; such a thing was truly rare. But more rare still was that Rong Jing and Yun Qianyue had simply walked away without saying goodbye. With this strange event blocking their way, they no longer found it odd.

The entire mountain fell silent as everyone looked at the Seventh Prince and Night Qingran who frowned as he watched those four leave.

Yitianyi only turned his gaze back to them when the four had left. His face showed no emotion, and he said in a gentle voice to the empress sitting above him, "Mother, they have started eating downstairs. I’ll escort you to your seat."

"It’s still early; this empress doesn’t want to eat," she waved her hand. "This empress hasn’t left the palace for a long time! Let me tour this Longevity and Happiness Mountain!"

“Alright, then I’ll accompany you in touring it,” Yitianyi walked over and assisted the Empress.

The Empress waved her hand. "You should go handle your own business if there’s anything urgent; Aunt Guan can accompany me.

"Your Highness, I have nothing to do today, so it's fine for me to accompany you! Now that your health is important, the Emperor told me before leaving the palace to take good care of you. If anything goes wrong with you, I won't be able to explain myself to the Emperor," Ye Tianyi shook his head and held Empress’s arm.

"Since you have nothing else to do today, why don’t you just come along with me" The empress stood up and asked Prince Rong, "Uncle Rong Wang, as an elder here, could you please accompany everyone to the banquet"

Prince Rong nodded. "Empress, rest assured! Since Xiao Jing and Little Moon left others behind, I can only risk my old life to accompany them; otherwise, it would be too unreasonable if I were to leave everyone here!"

"Although they are now grown-ups, they still have the nature of children. Today is a big day for their coming-of-age ceremony and they're happy, so let’s just go with it," The empress smiled.

“But I can’t find them if you don't allow it; there's no choice!” Prince Rong waved his hand. “Empress, you can leave now! I’ll take care of everything here. If I can't handle it, your brother will help me.”

The empress nodded and looked at Cloud Wang who had been silent all along with a smile on her face. "Thank you for today, Brother!"

Cloud Wang seemed helpless as he sighed. “Xiao Jing has been corrupted by Little Moon; such days are out of tune.” After finishing his sentence, he waved his hand at the empress and said, “You can leave now! Take care of yourself. But I’m also reassured that you have Seventh Prince to accompany you.”

The Empress nodded and did not say anything else; when Ye Tianyi was done talking, he supported the Empress walking towards the back mountain.

Prince Rong Wang and Cloud Wang started arranging for Duke De, Duke Xiao, Chancellor Qin and other officials to enter the banquet after seeing the empress leave. Banquet tables were set up halfway up the mountain while a continuous feast was arranged at the foot of the mountain. Hundreds of stoves were ignited simultaneously; soon fragrant smells wafted across Fortune Longevity Mountain everywhere. But all the meals served on the tables were vegetarian dishes, as they had considered the meaning behind the name of Fortune Longevity Mountain so that they would not profane Buddha.

When everyone was down the mountain, Ye Qingran still stood in the same spot; Rong Feng walked over and asked, “Are you going back to the city or entering the banquet” He glanced at the sky after finishing his sentence and pointed out, "It's already late!"

"Why go back to the city I'll naturally enter the banquet. Moreover, I need to drink more." Ye Qingran said.

"Alright! You, me, Brother Leng; let’s go enter the banquet together," Rong Feng looked at Leng Shaozhuo and said to Ye Qingran.

Ye Qingran replied with a nod and three of them entered the banquet together.

The coming-of-age ceremony for Xiao Jing and Little Moon, although missing their two main characters, didn’t affect the festive atmosphere at all. Officials from both civil and military affairs were in high spirits while civilians also had fun eating at the continuous feast; even though it was a vegetarian dinner, they hired the best cooks to make delicacies.

It seemed as if everyone forgot about the bustling capital city, forgot that the Emperor was bedridden due to illness, and forgot why Second Prince and Fourth Prince were absent without reason. They only enjoyed today's celebration and delicious food and wine in front of them.

The moment Xiao Jing and Cloud Shallow Moon left the mountain top using the teleportation technique, they landed silently in a quiet corner. Neither of them spoke for a while; after looking at the situation on the mountain top for some time, they saw Ye Qian, Yun Muhuan, Nan Lingrui, Xi Yan Yue leave; the Empress was being supported by Ye Tianyi to admire the back mountain scenery and Ye Qingran chose to enter the banquet with Rong Feng and Leng Shaozhuo. Only then did they withdraw their gaze.

“Where should we go” Cloud Shallow Moon asked Xiao Jing, thinking that Ye Tianqing and Ye Tianyu were probably in action by now. It was strange that Ye Tianyi and Ye Qingran would be accompanying the Empress or entering the banquet; it seemed as if they had already prepared medicine for a long time to wait for Ye Tianqing and Ye Tianyu.

“If we want to know what’s in their bottle, why don’t we go to the imperial palace” Xiao Jing said.

"Go to the imperial palace" Cloud Shallow Moon raised her eyebrows.

“Yes!” Xiao Jing nodded.

“Then let's go to the imperial palace!” After thinking for a moment, Cloud Shallow Moon suddenly grabbed his hand and dragged him lightly with her feet towards the imperial palace.
