"Elder Chang, do you have any way to cure His Highness the Northern Cold King?" Yun Qingran looked at Elder Chang with pleading eyes.

"Yes, but..." Old Chang hesitated.

"Elder Chang, if you truly have a way to cure His Highness the Northern Cold King, please tell me. I will be eternally grateful," Yun Qingran said, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Don't cry," said Old Chang. "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but this method is very difficult."

"Elder Chang, I'm not afraid of difficulties, please tell me." Yun Qingran pleaded with Elder Chang.

"Elder Chang, please save my son's life." The Emperor bowed deeply to Elder Chang.

"There is a snake called the Rock Cave King Snake, which lives in caves on mountain cliffs. The gall bladder of this snake has a miraculous effect on healing physical wounds. My master said that he once saw a person with a hole in his stomach eat the gall bladder of the Rock Cave King Snake and recover completely in three days," said Elder Chang.

"The King Snake of the Rock Cave? I've never heard of such a snake before." The Emperor frowned.

From a young age, in addition to learning the Six Arts and current affairs, the prince also had to study various crop cultivation methods and the habits of different animals. He had never heard of this particular snake during his studies.

"This kind of snake is very rare, and not many people know about it," Mr. Chang explained.

"Rare? Where are we going to look?" Yun Qingran's heart, which had just been leaping with joy, plummeted again.

Jun Molin is currently being kept alive by her medicine and acupuncture. Although his life is not in danger, he won't last more than a few days.

"My master told me that a thousand miles away in the sea off Zhoujun, there is an island with a mountain called Crimson Dragon Peak. On Crimson Dragon Peak is a very high and large cliff, and on the cliff lives a hundred-year-old cave king serpent. I went there once, but Crimson Dragon Peak was too dangerous and steep, full of venomous snakes and miasma, so I couldn't go in. I don't know if that cave king serpent is still alive." Elder Chang wasn't sure either.

"No matter what, I'm going." Yun Qingran looked at Elder Chang with determination.

"It's too dangerous. I'll send a highly skilled Imperial Guard." The Emperor forbade Yun Qingran from going.

“Your Majesty, there is miasma and many poisonous snakes on Crimson Dragon Peak, but I know how to cure them. Besides, I must go.” Yun Qingran looked at the Emperor with bright and determined eyes.

Looking at her stubbornness, the Emperor sighed inwardly – ​​another stubborn mule.

"Very well, I will send you a squad of personal guards to accompany you. Be careful along the way, and do not overexert yourself when you reach Crimson Dragon Peak. If you are unable to do so, come back," the Emperor instructed.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty. I hope we can depart tonight." Yun Qingran was extremely anxious.

Even riding a fast horse from a thousand miles away, changing horses without sleep, it would still take at least eight days to travel back and forth. Adding the time spent traveling into the mountains, she dared not imagine whether Jun Molin would be able to wait for her return.

"Alright." The Emperor nodded. Since they were going to go, there was no time to lose.

"Don't worry, little girl. Leave the Northern Cold King to me, and I'll guarantee his safety for half a month," Elder Chang said slowly, noticing Yun Qingran's worry about Jun Molin.

"Thank you so much, Elder Chang. I will repay your kindness tenfold." Hearing Elder Chang say this, Yun Qingran felt less anxious.

"Hmm." Old Chang nodded with a smile. He quite liked this little girl. If she didn't have a master, he could take her as his disciple and pass on all his skills to her.

Her medical skills are indeed good, but she lacks experience. I think I'm barely qualified to be her mentor.

Old Chang was very happy.

After Elder Chang and the Emperor left the room, Yun Qingran sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch Jun Molin's wound. "Jun Molin, you must wait for me to come back."

After saying that, she stood up to leave, but after taking a few steps, she turned back, leaned down and whispered in his ear, "Jun Molin, I'm not a mirror polisher, my sexual orientation is male, I was lying to you."

The thought that Jun Molin actually believed she was a mirror polisher made Yun Qingran laugh. He really was stupid when he was stupid!

After Yun Qingran finished laughing, she gently opened the door and left, then gently closed it again, and the room became quiet. No one saw Jun Molin's hand on the bed twitch.

After leaving the palace, Yun Qingran first went back to the Northern Cold Prince's Mansion.

"Are the young princess and the young prince asleep?" Yun Qingran asked the old woman on night watch when they returned to the two children's courtyard in the palace.

"No, the young princess and the young prince said they are waiting for you and the prince to return," the old woman on night watch replied respectfully.

"I'll go in and take a look."

Hearing Yun Qingran say this, the old woman happily led the way, carrying a lantern. Soon they arrived at the door of Jun Yanyan and Jun An'an's room.

"An'an, I miss Father, I miss Sister, sob sob sob..." Jun Yan Yan's soft sobs came from the room.

Hearing Jun Yan Yan's cries, Yun Qing Ran felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it were being pricked by needles. What would happen to these two children if something really happened to Jun Mo Lin?

"Don't be afraid, sister. Father will protect you. They will both be safe and sound. We should wait for them to come back quietly." Jun An'an hugged Jun Yan'an tightly with her little hands, comforting her sister with a gentle yet strong voice.

"Really, An'an?" Jun Yan Yan looked up and asked Jun An'an, her face streaked with tears.

"It's true." Yun Qingran pushed open the door and came in.

Upon seeing Yun Qingran enter, the two children ran off the bed and pounced on her.

"Yan Yan, An An." Yun Qingran opened her arms and hugged the two children, kissing their foreheads. "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

The Northern Cold Prince's Mansion has strict rules, and no one in the manor would dare to tell the two young masters about Jun Molin's injury. Yun Qingran also planned to keep it from them.

They are only three and a half years old. They should be happy, not living in fear.

"Father and sister haven't come back yet, we're worried about you." Jun Yan Yan poked her little head out the door. "Sister, where's Father?"

"I came here to tell you about this. Your father and I have some urgent business to attend to and need to leave the capital for about half a month. Your father has gone outside the city to mobilize troops. I've come back to say goodbye. Don't worry, your father will protect me, and I will protect your father too." Yun Qingran smiled gently at the siblings.

"Ah, it'll be a whole two weeks!" Jun Yan Yan exclaimed in surprise.

For adults, half a month passes in the blink of an eye, but for children, half a month is a very long time.

"There's nothing I can do," Yun Qingran said helplessly.

"Is it dangerous?" Jun An'an asked with some concern.

"A little bit, but as for your father and sister, we'll be fine," Yun Qingran said with a graceful smile, holding the two children's hands.

“Okay, then sister and father go ahead. Yan Yan and An An will be good.” Jun Yan Yan said obediently.

"Good babies." Yun Qingran picked them up in each arm, carried them back to bed, laid them down, covered them with blankets, and said gently, "Sleep now, I'll watch you sleep."

"Mmm." The siblings nodded and then closed their eyes.

Yun Qingran hummed a nursery rhyme and gently patted them. Before long, the two children drifted off to sleep.
