Yue Zhixiao's greed was all seen by Yan An, who scoffed: "Hmph, who do you think you are, daring to covet her? Don't you know your own worth and who she is?"
When Yan An appeared in front of the Qianqing Palace, she had a premonition when she saw the imperial edict that Yue Zhixiao was holding. She knew that the edict was not a good thing and that she could not let Yue Zhixiao read it. So she flashed in front of Yue Zhixiao, held the edict with him, and threw it into her spatial storage when he was not paying attention. She then replaced it with the edict that the emperor had given her last time.
The change of imperial decree at this moment was to tell Yue Zhixiao that she had a treasure, but Yan An didn't care. No one who wanted to take advantage of her had been born yet. Besides, she could say that it was given to her by Old Man Bai Qing, which would not reveal the existence of her spatial dimension at all.
As dawn approached, Yue Xiyuan and Yun Yao had been fighting for nearly half an hour, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle. Yun Yao glanced up at the sky; it was almost time. If she didn't leave soon, Yue Xiyuan would keep her there. By now, Yun Yao had numerous wounds, large and small, on her body. "Regent, it's almost time. Yun Yao has other matters to attend to today, so I won't keep you company any longer. We can spar another day."
Yun Yao winked at Yue Xiyuan and threw out a smoke bomb-like object, exactly the same as the one she had used when she was rescued in the Southern Territory. "Farewell, Regent!" Yun Yao then disappeared into the street.
Yue Xiyuan fanned the smoke in front of his face with his right hand and found that Yun Yao had already left. He hurriedly rushed to the palace. He had been delayed for too long by that poisoner and did not know what had happened in the palace, even though An Yi and An Si were watching the palace.
"Regent, you've finally arrived." Yan An instructed the eunuch to continue waiting for Yue Xiyuan at the palace gate. If Yue Xiyuan arrived, he was to be taken to the Qianqing Palace.
"But what happened?" He was stopped by that poisonous man as soon as he went out today. He also expected that Yue Zhixiao would definitely take some action. He tried to get away many times, but the poisonous man was very cunning. He only defended and did not attack, and dragged Yue Xiyuan away for a long time.
“Prince Xiao has come today, and he brought a box with him. This old servant is worried that something might happen to Prince Xiao. Princess An has also come…” Eunuch Wang was still rambling on, unaware that Yue Xiyuan had already used his lightness skill to go to the Qianqing Palace when he heard that Yan An had arrived.
Yue Zhixiao stared intently at Yan An, as if he could find the imperial edict on her. He had personally brought the edict to the palace, so Yan An must have hidden it. If the edict fell into Yue Xiyuan's hands, then he would truly have no chance of turning things around. Yue Zhixiao gave Ze Bin a wink.
Zebin nodded and walked towards Yan An, intending to reach out and search Yan An for the imperial edict. "Is Prince Xiao so enraged that he wants to kill me to silence me? Prince Xiao, don't forget that I am the future Princess Consort of the Regent Prince, and I am not someone that a mere subordinate like you can touch."
When it comes to fighting, Yan Anke has never lost, but it's somewhat inappropriate to do so in the imperial court.
"An'an!" Yue Xiyuan looked at Yan An at the door. His gaze was unfocused as he stared at the familiar figure in front of him. He froze on the spot, unable to believe it and overjoyed.
When Yan An heard Yue Xiyuan calling her, she jumped up and slowly turned around. Her bright eyes looked at him with a radiant smile. As always, she walked towards him with a cheerful smile and leaned closer to Yue Xiyuan, "Did you miss me?"
Yue Xiyuan suddenly pulled Yan An into his arms, gently stroking her hair. "I missed you so much, I couldn't sleep at night. A few days apart felt like three autumns. An'an, it's so good to see you."
The ministers lowered their heads even further. The regent was ruthless and they didn't want to offend this plague. They wished they could leave immediately, as if they were all saying: "You can't see me, you can't see me, I didn't see you, I didn't see you, please continue..."
Yan An shifted out of Yue Xiyuan's embrace and looked at Yue Zhixiao. "Third brother, that place shouldn't be where you should be, right? What? Is third brother interested in the position of emperor?"
Yue Xiyuan's deep, cold voice came from his thin lips, his playful tone sexy and clear, his narrow eyes full of gloom, and his sharp gaze pierced Yue Zhixiao.
"Fourth Prince, what are you saying? I just noticed you haven't come for a long time and I thought you were stressed and exhausted from the affairs of state these past few days. I just wanted to share some of your burden..."
At this moment, Yue Zhixiao no longer had the imperial edict in his hand, and Yue Xiyuan had also returned. He could no longer take any action today. "Since the fourth prince has returned, and I happen to have nothing to report today, I will return to my residence." He turned around and returned to the Xiaowang residence with Zebin.
"Ministers, speak your minds if you have anything to say, otherwise the court may adjourn." Yue Xiyuan said expressionlessly, holding Yan An's hand, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger.
"We have nothing to report." They couldn't wait to leave, no, to run away, so how could they possibly have anything to report? At this moment, the ministers were surprisingly united and of one mind.
"An'an, let's go to Chengqian Palace to talk about it." Yue Xiyuan led Yan An to Chengqian Palace.
"An Yi, An Si, Eunuch Wang, go outside and stand guard. No one is allowed to enter without my permission."
"Yes." The door to Chengqian Palace was closed abruptly.
"Junior sister, you've finally arrived. Do you know what kind of life I've been living these past few days... Besides the fact that I've been forced to stay here and guard the place, Yue Xiyuan, that wicked person, I'm so sorry..." Su Jingzhan was so excited to see Yan An, who had been missing for many days, finally appear that he was about to hug her.
Yue Xiyuan stared at Su Jingzhan with a sinister and wary expression, his gaze as cold as a thin blade, as if he would twist Su Jingzhan's arm off if Su Jingzhan dared to hug Yan An. Su Jingzhan felt a chill run down his spine. "Hehehe, it's been a long time since I last saw you, Junior Sister. Xiyuan has been very good to me these days."
"Stop joking around, here you go, hurry up and make the medicine." Yan An took out the ice-crystal-like Tian Shan snow lotus from his spatial storage and handed it to Su Jingzhan.
"This...this...this...this is the Tianshan Snow Lotus?" Su Jingzhan took it with both hands, his hands trembling with excitement.
"Yes! Go quickly." Yan An lightly rubbed his forehead, feeling too ashamed to look.
"Alright, alright, I'll go right away. But, junior sister, do you still have any Tianshan water? His Majesty has been poisoned for many days, and if he wants to detoxify immediately, he will need to bathe in Tianshan water."
"Don't worry, you go make the medicine first, I'll prepare it."
"An'an, thank you, you've worked so hard." Yue Xiyuan gently stroked the spot where Yan An had her blood drawn. He knew that the Tianshan Snow Lotus only blooms once every thousand years, so how could it bloom so quickly? Yan An must have put in a lot of effort.
"When it gets late, will you come and let me sleep?" Yan An suddenly moved closer, making Yue Xiyuan's body stiffen. Yan An also felt Yue Xiyuan's cuteness. After not seeing him for many days, her Yue Xiyuan was still so cute.
"Let's go inside and wait." Yue Xiyuan held Yan An's hand tightly, not letting go.
"Ya Nan, let me introduce you. This is my fiancée, Yan An. An An, this is General Gu Ya Nan, the General of the Western Frontier. She is a disciple of the Jade Feather Immortal, just like me, and is also my brother's beloved."
