Inside the Yue Lai Ke restaurant, someone asked, "What's Yue Xiyuan up to?"
"Yue Xiyuan went to the moat."
"The city moat?"
"Yes, Master, I saw Yue Xiyuan go to the moat from the east gate with my own eyes."
"It seems he's still not giving up. But it's alright, even if he goes a hundred times, he won't find any clues."
Yan Shaoheng's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but weren't, carried an undisguised mockery and sarcasm.
“Master Ji Yuan’s mechanical skills are unmatched in the world except for our master. Yue Xiyuan is only familiar with some mechanical algorithms. How could he possibly know the mechanisms of the moat like the back of his hand?”
When Ji Yuan was mentioned, Yan Shaoheng's thoughts seemed to drift away. In this world, apart from his father, the emperor, only his master treated him like family.
"No one can match Master's skill in using mechanisms."
"I have already resigned from my post with the Emperor of Yue today. Remember not to cause any more trouble in the next two days."
"Understood."
Now the whole city knows about Chen Jingshu and Yan Shaoheng's affair, and Cheng Ying doesn't know why the Emperor of Yue Kingdom let his prince leave so easily.
Yue Yufeng and Yue Xiyuan understood that if Yan Shaoheng really wanted to leave, they couldn't stop him.
Moreover, Yan Shaoheng is still the Prince of Yan, and this matter concerns the relationship between the two countries. Even if he is detained, the Emperor of Yan must agree.
Moreover, the four countries have already signed a peace treaty in order to maintain the existing peace.
Among the four kingdoms, the Moon Kingdom is the one that prioritizes the common people the most, and therefore should not take the lead in starting a war that would disrupt the peace among the four kingdoms.
However, Yue Yufeng had already drafted the edict and sent it to the Emperor of Yan by an envoy on an urgent mission.
These two people, who are already at odds, will surely put on a good show in the face of this evidence.
"What happened to the woman who escaped from Wangjia Village?"
"At first, I was placed in Yuelaike, but later I heard that Yue Xiyuan took me away and arranged for me to stay at Dali Temple."
"Dali Temple... If you can get rid of her before you leave, then kill her. If not, then forget it. Just remember not to cause any trouble."
"I'll take care of it right away."
"Yes, remember not to cause any trouble before we set off tomorrow."
Now, Yan Shaoheng can only rely on the fact that he is the King of Yan. As long as Yue Kingdom does not want to provoke a war, it has no choice but to let him leave.
If anything else were to happen now, it would be even more difficult for him to return to the Yan Kingdom.
At this moment, Yue Xiyuan came to the moat again. Even though he searched the moat thoroughly, he found nothing else suspicious.
"Could it be that I'm just being paranoid?"
"If it weren't for the moat, how would Yan Shaoheng have managed to rescue Chen Jingshu and Yue Zhixiao?"
Undeterred, Yue Xiyuan searched the moat again. Even with his exceptional lightness skills, it was getting dark by the time he finished searching twice.
Yan An stayed in the space, studying the Rejuvenating Cream, and before she knew it, she had used up all the medicinal herbs in her hand.
Yan An's consciousness flashed out of the space, and after dressing, he planned to go to Ji Ren Tang to ask Su Jingzhan for some medicinal herbs.
"It's dark already."
Yan An walked down a narrow alley, marveling at how quickly it was getting dark these days.
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared in front of them, holding a long knife, and stabbed it into the ground.
The stench of blood in the air made Yan An frown. He used his lightness skill and arrived in front of the man in black in the blink of an eye.
Yan An caught the knife that was about to be thrust down with one hand and slapped the man in black.
The man in black was suddenly struck by a palm, staggering back a step and nearly spitting out blood.
"Who dares to commit violence here?"
The man in black then realized that the newcomer was Yan An. [He hadn't expected Yan An's lightness skill to be so high; he hadn't even noticed when she arrived.]
Knowing he was no match for her, the man in black slipped away.
Just as Yan An was about to continue chasing after the man in black and catch him, he discovered that the person lying on the ground was Wang Xiaorou, a survivor from Wangjia Village.
Just as Yan An was about to take Wang Xiaorou to the space for treatment, he discovered that the man in black from before had not left.
"Luckily, it's not far from home."
Yan An carried Wang Xiaorou back to the Yan residence in a short while.
Although the man in black was not as fast as Yan An, he had been watching them from the shadows. "Your aura has betrayed you."
Yan An shot a silver needle into the darkness, then carried Wang Xiaorou back to the room.
Just then, Yue Xiyuan came down from the moat and wanted to see Yan An when he saw a figure flash by.
Although it was only for a fleeting moment, Yue Xiyuan still recognized that the person was Yan An.
When Yue Xiyuan arrived at Zi'an Courtyard, the smell of blood made him feel uneasy. Then he saw Yan An shoot out a silver needle, which flew into the shadows.
Yue Xiyuan's dark eyes narrowed dangerously, and his cold, bloodthirsty expression caused the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.
But he couldn't chase after them, because he didn't know if Yan An was the one who was injured.
"Bai Zhi, follow them. The man in black ran in that direction. He should have already been pricked by your young lady. Find out where he went."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Bai Su, go to Ji Ren Tang and call Su Jingzhan over as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Highness."
When Yue Xiyuan entered the room, he did not see Yan An, only a few drops of blood on the ground.
The moment Yue Xiyuan stepped into Zi'an Courtyard, Yan An sensed it. With a flash of his divine sense, Yan An pulled Yue Xiyuan into the space as well.
Yue Xiyuan immediately grabbed Yan An and began checking him over, "Where are you injured? How serious is it?"
"It's not me, it's Wang Xiaorou. Wait here for me, I have to go save her right away. It would be best if you could bring my senior brother over."
"I've already sent Bai Su to call him."
Before she could finish speaking, Yan An returned to the operating room.
Yan An had already taken her pulse before she arrived; she had ruptured internal organs, massive bleeding, and more than a dozen fatal wounds.
Yan An said to Wang Xiaorou, who was lying on the bed, "Whether you survive or not depends on your own fate."
The 'Operation in Progress' sign outside the door is already lit up...
Yan An gave her a blood transfusion, stopped the bleeding, and removed the necrotic tissue...
She couldn't afford to be careless at any step.
When Bai Zhi arrived at Ji Ren Tang, she briefly explained the situation, "My young lady may be injured. I would like to trouble Doctor Su to come with me."
"You little brat, just say An'an is injured. Stop beating around the bush and hurry up and leave."
At this moment, Su Jingzhan regretted not practicing his lightness skill properly, wishing he could fly from Jirentang to Yan Mansion.
When Su Jingzhan arrived at Zi'an Courtyard, Yan An had only managed to stop the bleeding.
Yan An sensed that Su Jingzhan had arrived and breathed a sigh of relief. If she had relied solely on herself, she might not have been able to save Wang Xiaorou.
After all, Wang Xiaorou had already entered the underworld, and she didn't have much time to pull her back.
Just as Yan An was about to go out and bring Su Jingzhan in, Su Jingzhan had already appeared outside the operating room.
Before Yan An could think, he shouted, "Senior brother, go change your clothes, hurry up!"
