"Wang Xiaorou is awake?"

Did they say anything?

"She woke up and then passed out again, and never woke up again. But when she woke up, Bai Lan said that she had said something."

"What did you say?"

"The moat has been blown up."

"Has anyone mentioned the moat?"

Yan An shook his head. "Even Bai Lan doesn't know about this, so how could she possibly know?"

"Could it be that I blew up the moat when Yue Zhixiao rebelled?"

Yan An suddenly remembered this, "That's right, the moat was also bombed once before, so why did it leave such a deep impression on her?"

"Another reason is that Wang Xiaorou already knew about the impending bombing of the moat before she was killed."

"Actually, I had thought of that too, but Yue Xiyuan, the moat was not blown up, but collapsed because the river water rushed into the mountain."

"We can't guess right here, let's just wait for her to wake up."

As the two were talking, Bai Lan called out to Yan An from within the space.

"Miss, she's awake."

"He's awake. Want to go see him together?"

Yan An's consciousness flashed, and the two of them appeared in the space.

"Don't worry, my young lady will be here soon. You can talk to her about anything. You can't get out of bed yet."

Bai Lan tried to stop Wang Xiaorou from getting out of bed, but Wang Xiaorou didn't know where she was and only wanted to leave.

"If you keep moving, even if a Bodhisattva came, he couldn't save you."

When Bai Lan saw her young lady arrive, it was as if she had seen a savior.

"Miss, you've finally arrived. I couldn't persuade her to leave; she insisted on going out."

"Bai Lan, let her go. If she really doesn't want to avenge her parents, then let her go."

Wang Xiaorou was stunned, and looked at Yan An, "You know my parents?"

"I don't know him."

"Then why do you say that?"

"You stopped Yue Zhixiao's prison van on the street; it seems difficult to remain unaware."

Wang Xiaorou clearly didn't expect Yan An to say that. "Miss Yan, thank you for saving my life, but you must let me leave today. He will be leaving soon."

Yue Xiyuan immediately grasped the key point, "Him? Gone? Is the person you're talking about Yue Zhixiao?"

Wang Xiaorou's eyes were filled with shock. She hadn't said a word, yet the man in front of her knew who she was talking about.

"I ask you, is the man you speak of Yue Zhixiao?"

Who in the Moon Kingdom, besides the current Regent, would dare to call himself "this king"?

"Are you the Regent?"

"I've already told you, my young lady is Princess An, and the person standing next to her is naturally the Regent. You can just talk to my young lady and her husband about anything you need to say."

"When did you tell me that your young lady was Princess An?"

Wang Xiaorou stared at Bai Lan and asked, puzzled.

"I... I haven't had a chance to say it yet."

Bai Lan felt a little guilty, as she didn't seem to have said who her young lady was.

"Regent, Princess An, hurry to the moat, Yue Zhixiao is trying to escape through the moat."

A low-pressure aura instantly enveloped Yue Xiyuan, making his handsome face appear even colder and more aloof.

His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze dark and gloomy, and the words he uttered from his thin lips were icy cold.

How did you know that?

"I can't say," Wang Xiaorou said, and then fell silent.

"An'an, I have no choice but to take this person with me."

Yan An slapped Yue Xiyuan's arm. "Didn't you see she was seriously injured? Would she even survive if she were taken to you?"

It's not that the regent was extremely cruel, but rather that his temper was unpredictable. Those who were disrespectful to him could suffer serious injuries, or even become paralyzed and die.

Wang Xiaorou couldn't understand why Princess An was so gentle and even showed no temper in front of her.

"The moat you mentioned that was blown up, isn't that the day Yue Zhixiao rebelled?"

Wang Xiaorou shook her head. "No."

"Since that's not the case, then you said the moat was blown up. Did you know there was going to be a problem with the moat before you were killed?"

Yan An's certainty left Wang Xiaorou somewhat incredulous; it was as if the two people in front of her could see right through her and understand what she was thinking.

"Princess An, there's no need to ask. I can't say anything else besides this."

"If you insist on not speaking, then Yue Xiyuan will have no choice but to take you to the Dark Pavilion. Have you heard of the Dark Pavilion? The methods there are enough to make people who are a thousand times more tolerant than you open their mouths. How long do you think you can endure?"

The Dark Pavilion is known to anyone who knows the Regent of the Moon Kingdom. If Yue Xiyuan is the King of Hell, then the Dark Pavilion is hell itself.

“Princess An, if you say another word, I will rather be tortured in the Dark Pavilion than say another word.”

"How long do you think you can last in the Dark Pavilion? I remember you came here to avenge your parents and the people of your entire village. Aren't you going to do it now?"

"If everyone in the world were like Yue Zhixiao, it would be better not to seek revenge. It would be better for me to go and find them sooner rather than later."

Yan An glanced at Yue Xiyuan, [It's over, my trick didn't work, she's not falling for it.]

Yue Xiyuan took Yan An's hand, his eyes overflowing with tenderness. [Watch me.]

"More than thirty years ago, there was a master mechanic named Ji Yuan. I wonder if you have ever heard of him?"

A hint of panic flashed in his originally indifferent eyes, but Yue Xiyuan and Yan An still caught it.

Is she related to Ji Yuan?

Keep watching my video.

[Fine, you're trying to hide it from me, huh? No one can fool you.]

[This is all just my guess, I assure you!]

The two exchanged glances and gestures, completely ignoring everyone else as if they were invisible.

"It doesn't matter whether you've heard of him or not. Ji Yuan had two disciples. Now it seems that one of them is Yan Shaoheng. No one knows about the other one. All we know is that he disappeared in the year Ji Yuan passed away."

"I don't know what the Regent wants to say. If the Regent wants to tell a story, please let me out first. I have other things to do."

"Your other apprentice is your father, Wang Shao, right?"

Knowing she couldn't stay any longer, Wang Xiaorou got out of bed again, intending to leave.

"Your appearance at the moat is no accident. Even I, the king, cannot decipher the mechanisms and formations on the moat. Yet you have discovered Yue Zhixiao's secret unharmed and have not been discovered yet. There is only one possibility: you have followed your father and are skilled in mechanisms."

Today was the day Yue Xiyuan spoke the most during his interrogation. After he finished speaking all at once, Yue Xiyuan walked to Yan An's side, like a lapdog begging for praise.

"An'an, how was it? Was I amazing?" Her eyes were full of sarcasm—you better praise me! You better praise me!

"Great!"

At this moment, Bai Lan wished she could gouge her own eyes out. [This regent is terrifying; I'd rather just kill her with one blow.]

The usually taciturn and even cold Yue Xiyuan now had a different face, which was frightening no matter how you looked at it.
