Chapter 68 Hehe, Your Home Is Gone

Outside the Pharmacist Valley, Lu Jinye's complexion has been getting worse and worse in the past few days.

He had anticipated everything well, and his entire plan was flawless, but he never expected that he would wander outside the Pharmacist Valley for several days without finding the entrance.

It's over before it even begins.

A few hundred meters away in the distance, stars suddenly rose up.

Lu Jinye looked over there, but didn't do anything as he wanted to walk over.

Yun Yao squatted beside the fire and stretched out her hands, which had become chubby from eating the past few days, to warm them by the fire. The cold air exhaled from her mouth was reduced a little beside the fire.

Zi Yuan was a little anxious, "Didn't they say we are very close? Why do we have to stop to rest? Wouldn't it be the same if we just went to Pharmacist Valley to rest?"

It is still unknown what happened to the young lady. Although it was Yun Yao's brother who kidnapped the young lady, she is still worried.

Yun Yao: "Sister Ziyuan, it's not that I don't want to take you there, but the maze outside the Pharmacist Valley can only be seen clearly during the day. At night, the visibility is poor, and I can't find the entrance to take you there."

Zi Yuan sat down weakly on a stone not far away. After a moment, she stood up and squatted beside the fire.

Oh my god, why are the stones so icy!

He Zhiyu was resting in the carriage. Qiao Yihuan did not stay outside the valley waiting for people to come out, but chose to follow them despite being sick.

Yanran said that Yun Heng, the genius doctor in the Pharmacist Valley, would fall in love with her, and would be willing to leave the valley and go out into the world to help her rescue the Crown Prince. As a result, the Queen would also agree to let the Crown Prince marry her as his princess.

Even if this may not be true, there is a possibility, and she cannot miss this opportunity.

Qiao Yihuan stopped by the window on one side of the carriage with a bowl of ginger soup in his hand. "Your Highness, I made a bowl of ginger soup. It's cold on winter nights. Your Highness, would you like to drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold?"

He Zhiyu immediately opened the window, and when he saw that it was her, he got out of the car and put his cloak on her.

"Your cold hasn't healed yet, why did you go and make ginger soup for me?"

Qiao Yihuan lowered her eyes, "I am worried about Your Highness, and I am happy to do anything for Your Highness."

He Zhiyu sighed and took the ginger soup, "You always care about others but ignore yourself."

Liu Yanran came over and said, "Your Highness, Yihuan almost burned her hand while making ginger soup for you. Yihuan loves you deeply, which can never be compared with those false feelings."

He Zhiyu glanced at her and said nothing.

Qiao Yihuan said in a tender voice: "Yanran, don't talk nonsense."

Liu Yanran pouted, "I'm telling the truth!" She smiled and said, "You guys chat slowly, I'm leaving first."

Qiao Yihuan said helplessly, "Your Highness, Yanran always likes to joke around, please don't mind."

He Zhiyu said calmly, "Yihuan, you will be my Crown Princess in the future. Even if the people you come into contact with are not noble ladies from aristocratic families, they must be ladies from well-off families. Although women from ordinary families are free and unrestrained, they are not suitable to appear in some important occasions."

Qiao Yihuan was stunned for a moment, "But Yanran is my good friend. She is not my biological sister, but she is better than my biological sister."

He Zhiyu changed the subject upon seeing this, "I am just making a suggestion, you can get along with whomever you like."

Qiao Yihuan smiled, "Your Highness is so kind to me."

Qiao Wanyan only liked to associate with the daughters of important officials. Every time she came into contact with them, she would talk about which cloth shop had expensive and beautiful materials, or how exquisite her newly bought hairpins and jewelry were.

Comparing, showing off, being jealous and stepping on others' heads in order to climb up the ladder.

He only interacted with powerless women from the common people, without any intrigue or deception.

Just like His Highness likes that I am gentle and kind and do not compete with others, His Highness just said that he wants me to come into contact with noble ladies from aristocratic families, but if I really interact with those noble ladies from aristocratic families, how is I different from Qiao Wanyan and those noble ladies?

Only a piece of white cloth in the dye vat can make Your Highness feel that he is unique.

Lu Jinye listened to the general situation and realized that the miracle doctor in the Pharmacist Valley was actually Yun Yao's brother. If he had known this, he would have tied Yun Yao up and taken him to the Pharmacist Valley to get the antidote. Why would he have been tortured for so long by Qiao Wanyan, that arrogant and vicious woman?

He strode over and sat down by the fire. Zi Yuan was startled and stood up immediately when she saw his familiar face.

"Why are you here? Where's the lady?"

Lu Jinye said calmly: "I don't know, I lost him."

Zi Yuan angrily said, "How can you be so useless? The young lady bought you and took you in out of mercy. You must have burned incense in your previous life. How could you be so derelict in your duty and fail to protect the young lady!"

Lu Jinye's tone remained calm, "You are also her close maid, why didn't you protect her?"

Zi Yuan was immediately furious. She gritted her teeth and planned how to complain to the young lady after finding her tomorrow and let her severely punish this ignorant man.

How dare he offend the person the young lady trusts the most? He is simply blind and brainless!

Lu Jinye glanced at her calculating look, feeling that she was shrewd but couldn't figure it out.

Yun Heng was writing a prescription in the study. Chang'an was dozing off beside him, his head nodding like a chick pecking at rice.

Until the candlelight dimmed a little, Yun Heng finally turned his gaze away from the words in the book, pinched his eyebrows, closed his eyes and rested his eyes.

"Chang'an."

Chang An immediately sobered up a bit, "Sir, do you want to go back and rest?"

Yun Heng looked at the light outside through the window, but couldn't see clearly through the tiles. "Who is flying a Kongming lantern outside?"

Chang An shook his head. "I haven't heard of it. When I came here before nightfall, I saw that Aunt Zhang Shu had gone back to rest, and Chang Qing didn't have time to release any Kongming lanterns."

Chang'an followed his gaze and saw a spot of light as expected. He stood up and walked towards the window.

Changan opened the window and his eyes widened. Maybe it was because of the cold air that blew in when he suddenly opened the window, or maybe he was frightened by the scene in the distance, but he pointed at the distance and said, "Eunuch...Eunuch...Young Master! There's a fire!!!!"

When Yun Heng and his servant arrived, flames and thick smoke shot up into the sky. The thick fire was raging wildly in every corner of Liuguang Pavilion, and the crackling sound of burning was extremely piercing.

The scorching flames painted everything around with gorgeous colors. Qiao Wanyan had her back to the flames, and her bright red dress matched the flames. She was breathtakingly beautiful and alluring.

The corners of her mouth raised a very beautiful smile, "Sir, your family is gone."
