"Hey...hey...An'an..." Yan Yi looked at Yan An, who was in such a hurry, and was about to ask her why, but Yan An disappeared. He turned around and went to the east kitchen to ask the cook to prepare a meal for Yan An.
Yan An returned to Zi An Courtyard, his divine sense flashed into his spatial dimension, took out the seeds of the Tianshan Snow Lotus and placed them on the bar, then took out paper, pen, inkstone and ink, feeling that he should still leave a letter for Yue Xiyuan.
In truth, Yan An had no intention of telling anyone about this. Firstly, if she failed to cultivate the Tian Shan Snow Lotus seeds, those who knew would be disappointed, and the bitterness of gaining and then losing would be worse than never having obtained it at all. Secondly, if villains found out, the seeds would likely be even more difficult to cultivate, making it hard to kill her, but killing a defenseless emperor would be a piece of cake. Therefore, Yan An initially did not intend to tell them; the more people who knew, the more dangerous it would be for the emperor, and it might even hasten the villains' plot to harm him.
But Yan An thought about it all the way. Since she planned to spend her life with Yue Xiyuan, she had to be prepared to advance and retreat together. The worst thing for two people in love is for one to be silent and the other to be indifferent. If she stayed in this space all day and could not go out, and Yue Xiyuan could not come in from outside, he would definitely be devastated. Now is the time when Yue is facing internal and external troubles. She cannot distract him, and she cannot let him have any grudges against her.
So Yan An made a decision: she would tell Yue Xiyuan about what happened today.
"Yue Xiyuan, tonight I went to Shou Kang Palace to look for you and happened to meet Da Hui. It's my master's pet. Eight years ago, my master snatched that Tian Shan Snow Lotus in Tian Shan. When Granny Qi was making medicine for me, she found a seed on the root of that Tian Shan Snow Lotus and preserved it. Da Hui just brought me the seed. Although I don't know how to make it bloom, Granny Qi said that only I can make it bloom in a short time. I need to go into seclusion to cultivate the flower these days. You must protect yourself and don't let anyone else know about this. Wait for me. Mua..."
At the door of Yan An's boudoir, Yan Cheng carried two lunch boxes, while Bai Tao, Bai Zhi, Bai Lan, and Bai Su each carried two more. They wondered what Yan An's sudden request for several days' worth of meals was for.
Yan An's consciousness flashed out of the space, and he opened the door. "Put it on the table."
"Bai Tao, Bai Zhi, Bai Lan, Bai Su, no one or anything is allowed to disturb me these next few days. If Yue Xiyuan comes looking for me, tell him to go find my elder brother."
"Yes, Miss."
"An'an, what happened? Is there anything your older brother can do for you?"
"Brother, just remember what I just told you. Once I have the results, I will definitely tell you. If Yue Xiyuan comes to you, give him this letter, and he will understand."
"Okay, then we'll head back first." Yan Yi knew that his sister must have something extremely important to say if she didn't tell him. He just needed to protect her and do what she asked him to do.
Inside Zi'an Courtyard, the rule was: "What happened today must not be mentioned to anyone else, or you will be killed without mercy." Yan An's secret could not be revealed to others, or it would bring about his death.
"This servant understands."
Yan An locked the door, then entered the space again with a flash of his consciousness. He placed the prepared meal on the bar, held the seeds in his hand and pondered them repeatedly. He also consulted many medical books, but there was no record of cultivating Tian Shan snow lotus.
"I'm afraid it's because it only blooms once every thousand years, which has given me a huge problem."
There is only one seed of the Tianshan Snow Lotus. If it is not planted properly, the Emperor will be beyond saving. What should she do?
"Master said that only I can grow Tianshan snow lotus in a short time, so I have to plant the seeds in the medicine garden. Does that mean I have to water them with Tianshan water every day?"
Yan An planted the seeds in the herb garden, then found a jar, set up a frame, and made a simple dripping device. He poured a lot of water from Tianshan into the jar. While Yan An was busy in the space, Yue Xiyuan came to Zian Courtyard.
"An'an, An'an!" Yue Xiyuan patted the door and windows, but they were all sealed shut.
Yue Xiyuan had searched many places but could not find Yan An. At this moment, Yan An's room was sealed off from the inside. Yan An must be inside, but why didn't she come out to see me? Yue Xiyuan felt like a lead weight was weighing on his chest.
This was a misunderstanding of Yan An. Yan An was watering the seeds and nurturing them at the moment, completely unaware of the commotion outside.
Yue Xiyuan sat quietly in front of Yan An's room. His eyes were as empty and hollow as black holes, and his face was devoid of any vitality. He was heartbroken and felt as if his body had been hollowed out. He didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Since following Yan An, Bai Su's reactions have become more acute. Sensing someone's arrival, she pushed open the door and came out, "Your Highness? This servant greets Your Highness."
"Has your young lady returned yet?"
"Miss said that if you come, you can go find the eldest young master." Bai Su relayed Yan An's words to Yue Xiyuan.
Yue Xiyuan turned around and used his lightness skill to fly towards Yan Yi's courtyard, calling out, "Big brother, big brother, big brother..."
"Your Highness, why are you here so late?" Yan Yi was just about to fall asleep when he heard someone knocking on the door. He quickly put on his outer robe and went out to see what was going on.
Yue Xiyuan froze, closed his eyes briefly, suppressed the stinging sensation, and asked in a slightly hoarse, trembling voice, "An'an is back?"
"Let's talk inside."
“An’an is back, but she seems to have something urgent to attend to. She asked me to prepare meals for several days and hasn’t come out since. She told me to wait for her at Zi’an Courtyard at dawn on the fourth day and not to disturb her. She told us to let her know when she has news. Oh, by the way, she left you a letter and said that you will understand everything after reading it.” Yan Yi took out a letter from his waist and handed it to Yue Xiyuan.
