"Alright, alright, I know. You're the luckiest. Go back now, I need to rest."

Yan An pushed and shooed Yue Xiyuan away.

Yan An couldn't help but wonder again if Yue Xiyuan was really impotent. How could she be so beautiful and just look at her without taking advantage of her?

Yan An lay on the bed and fell asleep a moment later.

Poor Yue Xiyuan, he has to take a cold bath when he gets back.

An Si was puzzled. The prince was in a good mood during the day, so why did he look unhappy again and take a cold bath as soon as he came back?

"Could it be that he is sexually frustrated?"

"An Si, what are you thinking? You know your prince has that kind of disease, how could he still be sexually unsatisfied?"

"Could it be that the princess disliked him because of that kind of illness?"

"That doesn't make sense either. The prince and princess are not married yet, how could they possibly know?"

"An Si, what are you muttering to yourself outside? Come in."

"Your Highness, I didn't say anything."

An Si dared not say that he was talking to himself about whether the prince was capable or not. If his own prince found out, he would surely be slashed with a sword.

"This is Lu Wenyun's confession. I will send it to my brother before the morning court tomorrow. If the Lu Kingdom wants Lu Wenyun's body, I can leave it for him."

"Yes, I understand."

"How's the search for what I asked you to find going?"

"Your Highness, we have found it and made it to your desired size as instructed. Do you think we need any more alchemists to continue?"

"No need, just send it to me tomorrow."

"How is Yan Shaoheng doing?"

"Your Highness, today Prince Heng went to check on the moat, but only stayed for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before returning to Yuelai."

"Keep an eye on it, and report any movement to me immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"How's it going in the south?"

"The southern border is much calmer now that troops are stationed there. No more undead have appeared, but no trace of them has been found either."

"By the way, Your Highness, yesterday when Gu Yi'an was escorting Chen Jingshu and Yue Zhixiao back to the Xiao Prince's Mansion, he met a woman named Xiao Rou on the way. She had come all the way from Wangjia Village to the capital."

"Wang Family Village? Is it Wang Family Village in the Southern Border?"

“Indeed, Your Highness. When Wangjia Village was persecuted, this Wang Xiaorou said that she was there and saw the group of living dead killing the villagers. Among them was Yue Zhixiao’s subordinate Liu Qiang. Wang Xiaorou followed Liu Qiang and his group to the capital and discovered Yue Zhixiao’s secret in the moat. She also saw Yue Zhixiao’s subordinates robbing handsome men. Now it’s all over the capital that people are saying that Yue Zhixiao is a homosexual.”

How did the people react?

"They all urged the Emperor to kill Yue Zhixiao. There were also many commoners present who knew the murdered man and hoped that the Emperor would re-punish Yue Zhixiao."

"You said that woman's name is Wang Xiaorou?"

"yes."

"You came to the capital on your own?"

"It was Your Highness. No one from Wangjia Village survived except for Wang Xiaorou. According to her, her parents hid her in the cellar, which is how she was saved."

"However, it's not accurate to call herself that, because Wang Xiaorou said she came to Beijing with Liu Qiang and others."

"Is Your Majesty aware of this matter?"

"His Majesty should already know. After all, yesterday, Gu Yi'an assured the people that he would report to His Majesty truthfully and had arranged for people to stay at Yuelai Guest House. An San has already sent people to keep an eye on them."

"Hmm, send someone to find out if what Wang Xiaorou said is true or false."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Because the Yue Kingdom was a vast and resource-rich land, there were many more things to deal with. Therefore, half of the daily memorials, including urgent documents delivered by courier, were sent to the Regent's Palace.

So Yue Xiyuan handled some more government affairs before taking a break.

The next morning, Yue Xiyuan arrived at the Yan residence.

"I have met my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"You've come looking for An'an, haven't you? I don't know if the child is awake yet. Go to Zi'an Courtyard to find her."

"Thank you, Mother-in-law. I will go now."

After Yue Xiyuan left, Yan Cheng snorted coldly, "Coming to see An'an so early in the morning, he doesn't know how to protect An'an's reputation at all."

Jiang Luo put down her chopsticks, startling Yan Cheng. "Let's see who dares to speak ill of An'an!"

Yan Cheng muttered to himself, "Who told him to come so often every day?"

"I haven't seen any objections from anyone else, but I can only see them from you."

"Of course, my daughter hasn't been home for very long before she gets married. How could I not have objections?"

"Count the distances. It's only a little over a mile from the Regent's Palace to our house, closer than you can walk back to your room. Let's eat!"

"Just eat, don't be angry, madam."

When Yue Xiyuan arrived at Zi'an Courtyard, he happened to see Yan An washing up.

"Did you have meal?"

"No."

Yue Xiyuan thought that Yan An was asking this because he wanted to invite him to have breakfast together.

"I haven't eaten either, let's go."

[What? That's it? Now they don't even provide meals for a visit?]

"Sister Nianxia is still waiting for me to have my blood drawn. We'll eat after I'm done with this."

"Can I eat instant noodles?"

"You really like instant noodles?"

Little did they know that if Yue Xiyuan's status were in modern times, he would surely be at the top of the Forbes list, just like a domineering CEO saying he wants to eat instant noodles.

"It's alright. It's not exactly a delicacy, but it's good enough to improve our meals on a regular basis."

Goodness, this guy manages to make being a glutton sound so appealing.

"Okay, whatever flavor you want, that's all you can eat. We don't have anything else, just plenty of instant noodles."

The two chatted and laughed as they arrived at Jirentang.

"An'an, you've arrived. Greetings, Regent."

"I'm here to examine you. If everything is fine, we can have the surgery tomorrow."

"good."

Xu Nianxia was nervous, after all, Yan An's method of healing and saving lives was something they had never seen before.

But after a day of comforting and companionship from Mo Zichen, she is now much more relaxed.

"Sister Nianxia, ​​I'm going to take you to a place for a medical check-up. Don't worry, and don't be afraid."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Yan An pulled the group in, and with a flash of his divine sense, he brought them all in.

This was the first time Xu Nianxia had come in while fully conscious. She looked around and saw that the furnishings and displays were unlike anything she had ever seen before.

Mo Zichen grasped Xu Nianxia's hand in return to ease her tension.

Xu Nianxia understood that this place must be Yan An's secret, the kind of secret that could lead to his death.

Now that she knows this secret, she must also consider her the person she trusts most.

Xu Nianxia silently kept it in mind.

I can never repay the kindness of being saved, let alone this ungrateful person.
