Qi Huang didn't want to pay attention, but this was the only way out of the palace gates.
She said nothing, looked away, and walked straight ahead, pretending not to see him.
As she passed by Mo Yunhan, he naturally followed and walked alongside her.
Qi Huang frowned, stopping in her tracks with slight annoyance.
"Your Highness Regent, please get to the point. I don't know you very well."
Mo Yunhan did not stop walking.
"We're just traveling the same road, Master Feng Jiu is overthinking it."
Qi Huang glanced at him, crossed her arms, and didn't follow.
Mo Yunhan took a few steps, then stopped and looked back at her.
"You're not leaving the palace?"
Qi Huang raised an eyebrow.
"I will leave, but when I leave is none of Your Highness's business. Since I am being paranoid, Your Highness, please go ahead."
Mo Yunhan looked into her slightly more lively eyes, though they remained cold.
But that inexplicable sense of familiarity struck again unexpectedly.
Who exactly is this woman?
Their eyes met, and Qi Huang stared at him without blinking.
It's clear that if you don't leave, I won't move.
Mo Yunhan stared at her for a while, then looked away and turned to leave.
Qi Huang only breathed a sigh of relief when his groans completely disappeared.
They quickly left the palace gates, found a carriage, and went to Zhonghe Street in Hualin District, where they found the sixth alley that the judge had mentioned.
After making a few inquiries, they found out Old Man Cai's address.
The kind-hearted auntie who gave directions offered advice.
"Young lady, you're here to buy herbs from Old Man Cai, aren't you? That old fellow has a very strange temper. If he doesn't want to sell, no matter how much silver you offer, it's all for nothing. Once, a steward from a wealthy family came asking for herbs, and that old man chased him away with a broom. The man threatened to burn down his house, and the old man immediately brandished a kitchen knife and threatened to slit his own throat. The man was afraid of causing a death, so he had to slink away. I heard that he gave him a thousand taels of silver, a thousand taels!"
Qi Huang asked,
"Does Mr. Cai live alone? Does he have any children or descendants?"
The woman sighed and shook her head.
"He was a pitiful man too; his only daughter died."
He then lowered his head and busied himself with his own affairs. Qi Huang didn't ask any further questions.
I walked up to Mr. Cai's door and knocked.
The door wasn't bolted, and it creaked open with her effort.
Qi Huang thought for a moment, then stepped inside.
Is Mr. Cai home?
The sound of digging came from the corner.
An elderly man with a hunched back and a full head of white hair was wielding a hoe, digging at the ground. It had rained last night, and the ground was sticky and wet, soaking his feet.
He didn't even look up when he heard the shout.
At the edge of the courtyard, there is a stone tablet dedicated to a childless person.
Fresh pastries were placed on top, and the incense had just been lit.
Qi Huang walked over and cupped his hands in greeting.
“Old Cai, I heard that you have a piece of fine Ren bamboo. Would you be willing to sell it to me? I will agree to any conditions.”
Old Cai, leaning on his hoe, looked up and over.
He looked her up and down, then snorted coldly.
"roll!"
Now that Qi Huang knows Ren Zhu's whereabouts, she can't let go.
The power of the Bone Heart Stone was indeed very strong, but this power was completely different from the spiritual energy techniques she originally cultivated.
Therefore, even though she used her consciousness to transfer Mo Yunhan's injuries, the trauma she suffered still could not be healed.
Although it could be nourished slowly over a long period of time, she didn't have that time.
She looked at the tombstone again.
"Old Cai, besides money, I can grant you any other wish."
Old Cai ignored him, swinging his hoe with unusual force, the mud splattering out almost hitting Qi Huang's face.
Qi Huang took a step back.
“I can let you see your daughter.”
"Snap!"
The hoe slipped from Old Cai's hand.
He looked at Qi Huang with excitement, his eyes red.
"What...what did you say?"
Qi Huang raised his hand,
A talisman flew out of thin air and transformed into a blurry sound in mid-air.
She wore a light blue shirt, and her dark hair was braided into two pigtails and wrapped with pretty floral strips of cloth.
She knelt before the stone tablet, and in the blink of an eye, she vanished without a trace.
"Yingying!"
Old Cai lunged forward, but missed.
"Yingying, your father has watched over you for twelve years, why won't you come back to see your father? Are you still resentful of your father, resenting that your father stopped you from going with that beast? Don't you know? You'll never know until you die, that beast isn't human, he's not human at all!"
He cried uncontrollably.
My whole body was trembling.
After a while, he leaned on the tombstone and turned to look at Qi Huang.
"Are you an illusionist?"
Qi Huang shook her head.
"I am an alchemist, I can refine pills, but I also know some esoteric arts."
"A master alchemist?" Old Cai wiped away his tears and stood up.
"Can you really let me see my daughter?"
Qi Huang said,
"Yes, you can talk too."
She did not use magic to deceive people.
Instead, a faint gray aura lingered around the stone tablet.
It was the girl's lingering resentment.
Twelve years have passed, and resentment and reluctance have accumulated in my heart.
That's why she was able to use this resentment to transform into human form.
Old Cai wiped away his tears with emotion.
"If you can do that, I'll give you the bamboo. But if you dare to lie to me and fool this old man, I'll break your legs."
Qi Huang raised his hand,
"You should still have your daughter's clothes, right? Take one out. If you have a comb or her used rouge and powder, that would be even better."
Items that have had close contact with the deceased are the easiest to handle.
