"Was An Si sent by Yue Xiyuan to do something else?"

Yesterday, Yan An made a number of pills with hidden auras, but did not discover An Si. He knew that Yue Xiyuan must also have a lot to do, so he came to Linglong Pavilion today.

"Your Highness, I am only in charge of the Linglong Pavilion's business and know nothing about His Highness's other arrangements. Would you like me to call the Third Pavilion Master over? The Third Pavilion Master should know more about the Fourth Pavilion Master's affairs."

Within the Dark Pavilion, Dark One, Dark Two, Dark Three, and Dark Four are the four Pavilion Masters. When Yue Xiyuan is not present, the four Pavilion Masters handle the affairs of the Pavilion on his behalf.

"good."

"An San greets the Princess."

“An San, these are some pills I made to conceal their presence. I gave some to An Shi yesterday. Distribute these to the others in the moat. Even if they encounter someone with higher martial arts skills than them, it will be difficult for them to detect them.”

A glint suddenly appeared in An San's eyes. This was a valuable item; they often had to track it down.

If they encounter someone with higher martial arts skills than them, they will let the matter drop in order not to alert the enemy. With this item, their future actions will be much more efficient.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Since you call me Princess, there's no need for such formalities. I don't see any good medicinal herbs up for auction at Linglong Pavilion today. These are detoxification pills, beauty creams, and tuberculosis medicine... Although they're not worth much, they're still unique and can fetch a good price at auction. I've written down how to use them and what their effects are on this piece of paper."

As Yan An spoke, he took out another jar from the box. "These are mosquito coils for Yue Xiyuan and the others. I've processed them and ground them into powder. They can be burned in incense burners to repel mosquitoes. I remember that in addition to auctioning treasures, Linglong Pavilion also has counters that sell other things. Why don't you repackage these and put them on the counter to sell? These things aren't valuable, so you can make them cheaper so that ordinary people can afford them."

She took all these things from her spatial storage, at no cost whatsoever. With so many mosquitoes in the summer, it's quite good that some ordinary people can buy and use them.

Wow~ Although the prince used the entire Regent's Palace as a betrothal gift, with the princess in the family, the money will come back just like that.

He will definitely follow the princess's lead and earn money with her in the future.

"Your Highness, you are truly a woman of exceptional beauty, a rare and elegant beauty, a fairy descended from heaven, and a heroine among women... Hmm..."

"Alright, alright, stop flattering me. This bag contains cold noodles. I wonder if you tried them the other day? What do you think, An San, about selling these at Yue Lai Ke?"

"Cold noodles? Your Highness, you are so considerate. I didn't go to the Regent's Palace that day, but Qin Feng said that most of them were eaten by An Si, and he even boasted about it in the Dark Pavilion afterwards."

Not to mention Dark Three, even others who remembered this incident felt like beating up Dark Four.

"This is the method for making cold noodles. Each packet comes with seasonings. If it sells well, we can send someone to the Yan residence to collect it every day."

"Your subordinate obeys."

An San seemed to have already heard the sound of Hua Hua's money coming in, and the smile on his lips just wouldn't leave him.

Knock, knock, knock... A knock came at the door. "Your Highness, Third Pavilion Master, Liu Youlin's daughter, Liu Ruyan, has arrived. She says she has something important to discuss with Your Highness and is waiting in the first hall. Your Highness, what do you think?"

"I will send her away immediately."

An San also knew that his princess had a grudge against Liu Ruyan. Liu Ruyan had harmed the princess many times. It was already a favor not to kill her. This time, he must have come with ulterior motives.

"It's nothing. Take her up to the fourth floor. She's just a dying person. People say that the words of a dying person are kind. I want to see just how 'kind' those words really are."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Manager Wang, please bring Liu Ruyan up." An San picked up the things Yan An had brought.

"Your Highness, I am waiting in the shadows. Please call me if you need anything."

"Okay, go ahead. There's some corpse-dissolving water inside. Just give it to An Yi later."

Liu Ruyan was led to the fourth floor by Manager Wang.

"Manager Wang, where is Princess An? Is this the fourth floor...?"

"Miss Liu, please don't ask any more questions. Just come with me and you'll find out."

“Your Highness, this is Manager Wang. Miss Liu has already been brought here.”

Liu Ruyan was full of surprise. She didn't understand why Linglong Pavilion, which was clearly not afraid of the powerful and wealthy, was so respectful to Yan An and even allowed her to participate in the auction on the fourth floor.

"Bring it in."

Manager Wang led Liu Ruyan to a private room, closed the door, and left.

"I've only met Miss Liu a few times, so we shouldn't be considered acquainted. May I ask why Miss Liu has come to see me today?"

Yan An gently picked up a cup of tea. Her hands were unusually beautiful, slender and long, yet plump and fair. Her nails shone with a bluish light, soft and tinged with vermilion. She drank the tea with dignified elegance.

Liu Ruyan stared at Yan An's hands, so white and flawless, while she...

With so many deep wrinkles, like old tree roots dug out of a mountain valley, Liu Ruyan clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves, the veins bulging.

"Miss Liu, do you really like my hands? It's a pity, I can't give them to you."

Yan An raised her hands, her right hand gently stroking her left, her ten fingers as slender as bamboo shoots, her wrists like white lotus roots.

She knew what Liu Ruyan looked like at that moment, and she just wanted to annoy Liu Ruyan.

“I…I want to do a business deal with Princess An.”

"A sale? This princess is not interested. Miss Liu, do you have anything else to discuss? If not, this princess will have to see you out."

"etc!"

She finally managed to escape from the Minister's residence, and she kept watch at the Yan residence for several hours, asking passersby before she learned that Yan An had come to Linglong Pavilion.

She didn't have much time left, and she wanted to kill Liu Xuening. She had suffered enough humiliation these past few days. Since birth, she had been pampered by everyone and had never suffered such humiliation.

She could not rest in peace until she avenged this grudge.

Liu Ruyan lifted her veil; she no longer had the money to buy Beauty's Intoxication. She had escaped today and seen a doctor, but her days were numbered.

She died with her eyes wide open, but within three days, she was filled with resentment.

"Yesterday, Prince Xiao and Liu Xuening met at Zuiyue Tower. Doesn't Princess An want to know what they planned?"

"I don't want to." Yan An drank another cup of tea. It wasn't that Yan An was wary of Liu Ruyan, but rather that she genuinely had no interest in their secret.

"You!" Liu Ruyan's face was contorted with rage as she managed to utter a single word.
