ut she had become more vigilant. This time, Leo's move was a tactic of using his charm, and since she saw through it, if the other party was unwilling to give up, there would definitely be further dev..."What does that mean Is Min Consort prepared"
"Well then, Crown Princess, you see..."
"Don't worry, there are still two pregnancies. We can always blame it on Min Side Consort that bitch! She thinks she's so clever, acting like everyone else is stupid."
Yang Pei-rong said coldly.
"The Crown Princess is right,"
After discussing for a while, Yang Peirong yawned and then was helped to lie down on the soft couch for an afternoon nap.
At this time, the ripples were collecting wild mountain ginseng in a deep forest. This was a rare purple ginseng, and at first glance, it was over a hundred years old. She reluctantly dug it out.
After all, she was practicing medicine as an outsider, using common herbs. The spiritual herbs in the space couldn't be given to ordinary people; they would be poisonous to them. The spiritual energy would burst their bodies.
After gathering the medicinal herbs, Ling'an returned to her thatched hut nestled on the hillside. She waved her hand, scattering the herbs from her basket in the yard to dry under the sun. Then, she poured herself a cup of peach blossom wine and sat in the rocking chair, savoring the drink while enjoying the gentle breeze. This is what vacation is all about.
Just as the ripples were about to fall asleep, her ears twitched suddenly, and she sniffed. A faint smell of blood, so familiar yet distant, drifted into her nose.
She immediately opened her eyes, a hint of resignation flashing in them. Then, she waved her hand to put away her rocking chair and the herbs drying in the yard, before shouldering her bamboo basket and leaving.
Moments later, three men in black rushed into the yard, carrying someone on their backs.
As the wounded person was put down from their back, they saw a familiar face amidst the ripples. It was Qing Ran. However, she had no idea why she came to this place thousands of miles away or how she sustained such grievous injuries.
Then ripples flashed a sinister smile. It was truly like finding a needle in a haystack, effortless acquisition! Wasn't it the Heavenly Mandate who said that Qing Ran was Xin Yuan Tiansun's reincarnation tribulation disruptor By sending her back in advance, she should have completed half of her mission.
So, while several men in black were searching the surroundings and rummaging through the hut, Ripples set up a maze formation around it using several low-grade Mu series spirit stones. This trapped the men inside, unable to escape. After watching the green light of the formation flicker, she clapped her hands nonchalantly and walked away.
Qingran, who was in a coma, didn't know that her life was about to end here. This time she came out after hearing a rumor that there was a hundred-year-old purple ginseng in the deep mountains of Junzhou, which could bring the dead back to life and was most importantly the key ingredient for the medicine she was secretly refining.
When Qing Ran learned that her younger brother's crown princess was pregnant, she shut herself in the palace for the entire day. She still couldn't give up on this secret love of hers, but she knew that this relationship could only be buried deep in her heart for a lifetime, never to be revealed to the world.
But she was unwilling to accept it. She had been with Xin Yuan since childhood, they were the closest people to each other, and she knew all of his likes and dislikes. Yet, she could only stand beside him as a sister.
So she ultimately decided that no matter what method she used, she had to conceive a child that belonged to both of them. But if Xin Yuan didn't cooperate, there was nothing she could do about it.
So she consulted many miscellaneous books and found a magical elixir called "Dream Delusion Pill". Anyone who consumes this pill will have a hazy consciousness and completely forget everything that happened after taking it. They will obey the commands of the person who administered the pill.
Regardless of whether it's true or not, Qingran decided to give it a try. She would tell her mother later what was going on in her belly. At worst, she would take that tool person as her husband, and then the child's lineage would be smooth sailing.
Unfortunately, man cannot compare to fate. Qingran didn't know that Lianyi, this celestial matchmaker who protected her, existed, so she was destined to miscarry.
The Heavenly Immortal of the Ninth Heaven, Sī Mìng Xiān Jūn, watched Lián Yī's chaotic actions, and a mouthful of immortal wine was sprayed out. His eyes were filled with indescribable emotions. He felt that the Jade Emperor's decision to let the Matchmaking Fairy descend to the mortal realm might have been a mistake.
But he couldn't say that the Fairy of Matrimony was wrong, after all, she had diligently accompanied Xin Yuan to grow up with his destined one. Besides, this Gu Die'er also became Xin Yuan's woman. It's just that no matter how you look at it, this process feels awkward.
The Immortal Lord of Destiny took a sip of wine and ultimately decided to give up.
"Alright, it is what it is. Let things run their course! Heaven Emperor has already interfered once; if we keep meddling, when Xin Yuan returns to his position, he'll probably turn against us."
Five days after the ripples left, the four men in black finally realized they were trapped. Their pursuers couldn't find them here, but they also couldn't get out. Especially Princess Qingran had been poisoned, the blades that wounded them all coated with a strange poison.
At first glance, it didn't seem like anything out of the ordinary. It just looked like a typical sword wound. After all, the blood that flowed from the injury was bright red and showed no signs of poisoning. But starting on the third day, the wound began to emit a strange fragrance.
As time passed, the fragrance grew more intense, and Princess Qingran's face became paler and paler, as if she was expending all her energy to release the scent.
They had never encountered this kind of poison before. Even administering an antidote pill to Qing Ran proved ineffective. The leader of the black-clad guards stated:
"First, we need to find a way out. Let's head for the nearest town and seek help. If we can't get out, we'll all be buried with the princess."
But every time I rush out, I end up back here. How do I find the way out
"Our eyes can deceive us, so walk with your eyes closed and try every method."
"Good!"
Qing Ran's life hangs by a thread, and her guards are desperately trying to leave the courtyard.
But far away in Kyoto, Xin Yuan felt nothing. He simply followed the Emperor to court every day and diligently reviewed memorials, preparing himself for the highest position.
He also had to be on guard against the underhanded tactics of his own brothers, completely unaware that Qing Ran had been silent for so long.
In the end, the Empress still noticed something was amiss and sent people to look for her. They only found that Qing Ran had entered a deep mountain in Junzhou Prefecture in search of Zi參, and there was no news of her afterward.
The Empress immediately burst into tears and rushed to inform the Emperor, wiping her eyes as she said:
"Qing Ran, that girl, is determined. She heard that there's a thousand-year-old ginseng in a deep mountain in Junzhou, capable of reviving the dead and mending broken bones. Thinking she could find it to ensure Your Majesty’s good health, she concocted an excuse to leave the palace without my knowledge and has been missing ever since."
"My servant who I sent out said...said that Qing Ran went into the deep mountains and never came out. How can this concubine live like this!"
The emperor, upon hearing this, immediately arranged for capable subordinates to search for the person. Xin Yuan was also worried about his elder sister and felt that it must have been his good brother who had secretly made the move, with the aim of disrupting his attention and causing his mother to lose her composure.
After everyone else had been sent out, Xin Yuan personally escorted the Empress back to the Fengyi Palace and then inquired about what had happened in detail. He comforted the Empress before returning to the East Palace.
Upon receiving the news, the Crown Princess's face held worry, but her heart was filled with joy. As a woman herself, she could naturally sense the hostility from Princess Qingran towards her, as if she had stolen her man.ittle honey and let it fully blend with the snake fruit. Once the honey is mixed well, turn off the heat and taste a small amount.Although the juice has been boiled dry, it doesn't affect the taste. T...
