Song Yan'er's sudden dejection vanished, replaced by an expectant look as she gazed at the old lady:

"Really, what reward do you think I should ask for? I've never been here before, so I don't really know the local customs. Grandma, as family, now's the time to show your worth!"

old lady……

Is it that so?

However, this is indeed a question that needs serious consideration!

After thinking for a while, he looked at Song Yan'er and said, "Why don't we ask the Emperor to bestow upon you the title of Princess and grant you a fief not far from the capital? Then we can go there whenever we have time!"

Song Yan'er...

You're not just thinking about having fun, are you?

However, after seriously considering the old lady's suggestion, Song Yan'er realized that if the emperor agreed, it would be possible. What was the difference between her and Xiao Yang? It was their status. Although she didn't care about these things, Xiao Yang would eventually enter the court, and there would definitely be people who would use this as an excuse to make things difficult for him!

But if I were a princess, that would be different. If I had a title, that would be even better, as it would elevate my status considerably!

"Okay, when Xiao Yang delivers the medicine later, I'll have him mention it to the Emperor. Grandma, that's great, thank you!"

Thank you for considering my feelings. I guess you were afraid that saying it directly would hurt your self-esteem, so you expressed it in a roundabout way.

Okay, thank you! I remember everything!

Seeing that Song Yan'er had come to her senses, the old lady unconsciously revealed a kind smile. Indeed, since Song Yan'er met the old lady, the old lady had always been unconventional, and she had never seen the old lady like this before, so Song Yan'er was a little stunned for a moment!

"What are you looking at? Are you stupid? Someone like you wouldn't even survive three episodes in the palace. You better be more careful!"

Song Yan'er...

Does the old lady think I'm a fool?

Although I've never experienced palace intrigue, I'm quite skilled in martial arts. If all else fails, I can take them all down one by one!

The old lady saw through Song Yan'er's thoughts and scoffed!

Forget it, I'm not going to talk to a palace intrigue newbie like you!

"Hey, Yan'er, come and see if there's another secret room connected to this!"

Song Yan'er also looked in the direction the old lady was pointing! It was a tiny, inconspicuous black dot!

Song Yan'er looked at the old lady with amusement:

"Wow, you're amazing! You managed to spot something so small!"

The old lady showed absolutely no sense of modesty:

"That's right, no treasure can escape my discerning eyes!"

Song Yan'er...

You're really getting out of control when I say you're fat!

"Yan'er, Grandma, are you down there?"

Just as Song Yan'er was about to explore for treasure, she heard Xiao Yang's shout!

Quickly walk to the opposite entrance of the tunnel and shout upwards:

"My lord, we're down here! Do you want to come down? We've found another treasure!"

After saying that, he unconsciously looked at the old lady!

The old lady rolled her eyes:

I just taught you for nothing!

Xiao Yang was looking for Song Yan'er anyway, so when he heard what Song Yan'er said, he immediately grabbed the rope and climbed down!

"Husband, over here! Come quick!"

As soon as Xiao Yang's feet touched the ground, Song Yan'er excitedly called out to him!

The old lady was speechless. For her grandson's sake, she decided to just stop complaining in the future to avoid others finding fault. After all, the young couple were truly in love, so everything they did was filled with happiness!

Xiao Yang walked up to it and looked at the small black dot in front of him...

I have to say, you guys have really good eyesight!

"I pressed it, you guys step back a bit!"

Song Yan'er immediately pulled the still-dazed old lady to the back!

old lady……

Song Yan'er stared at Xiao Yang without blinking, already determined to rescue him in time should any unexpected events occur!

The old lady snapped out of her daze and stared intently at Xiao Yang.

All three were fully prepared, and as Xiao Yang placed his hand on the button:

"Squeak~"

What the three expected did not happen. Instead, a small hole appeared under the button, and there was only a book inside!

Song Yan'er and the old lady exchanged a glance, speechless.

And yet, the three of them were so nervous for ages. How stupid of them!

Xiao Yang was also speechless. He had originally thought there was another secret room full of gold and silver treasures!

Xiao Yang took out the book from the cave, opened it and looked at it. At first he was very calm, but the more he read, the more he could not hide the shock on his face!

"What is this? A martial arts manual?"

Seeing Xiao Yang's changing expression, Song Yan'er and the old lady asked, "This is how it usually is in TV dramas. As long as you go to a cave, there will definitely be a martial arts manual inside, allowing the male lead to master unparalleled martial arts!"

"no!"

As Xiao Yang spoke, he handed the "book" in his hand to Song Yan'er!

As soon as Song Yan'er saw inside...

"What the hell is this?!"

Calling it a book is an understatement; it's more like a child's doodle. No, even a child's doodle is worse than this!

The old lady also opened it and glanced at it:

Sorry, I don't understand!

Song Yan'er was filled with doubt:

"Is something really worth keeping here, hidden so well? Even if you threw it outside, probably no one would pick it up. Is there something different about it, Xiao Yang?"

Song Yan'er had just noticed the change in Xiao Yang's expression, but she couldn't understand it at all! So she wanted to ask Xiao Yang!

Xiao Yang was still staring at the "book": "I don't know if my guess is accurate yet. I'll have to make a rough copy of it in a while and then I'll know. But if I'm not mistaken, this should be a map of the Western Shu Kingdom!"

"How could the landscape painting be depicted like this!"

Song Yan'er took the "book" from Xiao Yang's hand again and flipped through it from beginning to end!

If Xiao Yang hadn't mentioned the Jiangshan Map, Song Yan'er would never have thought of it. But after Xiao Yang mentioned it, Song Yan'er felt that it might actually be true!

Although Song Yan'er had never been to most parts of the Western Shu Kingdom, she knew Dongquan City very well! After all, she had lived there for several years!

So they quickly found the page that might belong to Winterspring City! Although it only occupied a small part, Song Yan'er compared several iconic things and it really was near Winterspring City!

It must be said that the person who drew this landscape painting is very skilled. They even disassembled the Western Shu Kingdom into the painting. And although at first it seemed like random scribbles, Song Yan'er was increasingly amazed as she looked at it. This painter used just a few simple strokes to depict the characteristics and landmarks of a place! As long as you have been there, you can recognize it!

"This must have been here for many years, but why did you take it apart to paint the landscape? Also, I noticed that there seems to be something else in his painting. Xiao Yang, can you tell?"
