Chapter 227 We Can't Wait Any Longer



"An'an, do you think there's something wrong with Yan Shaoheng's legs?"

Yan An held those pages of paper, repeatedly examining Yan Shaoheng's handwriting, without looking up.

"You mean his leg is healed?"

"An'an, you noticed too?"

"Yes, when his whole body was being tormented by the Gu worms, it was his legs that supported his body, so his legs must be fine."

"Could it be because of the Gu worms?"

"Well, I can't think of any other reason why Yan Shaoheng would become the vessel for the Gu worm."

Yan An repeatedly experimented with the brush on the paper, and he had to admit that the brush was indeed much more difficult to imitate than the modern ballpoint pen.

Yan An sat at his desk and practiced many times before finally producing a relatively satisfactory one.

What do you think?

When Yue Xiyuan held the letters copied by Yan An, they were indeed so realistic that they could be mistaken for the real ones. When placed together, it was difficult to tell which one was genuine and which one was fake at first glance.

"An'an, isn't this part of the character '静' a little different? And what about the hook and the dot?"

Yan An took it and looked at it several times. He felt that it was indeed a little different, although it was not noticeable unless you looked closely.

Once it's discovered, this "evidence" can no longer be used.

Yan An practiced several more times, and finally wrote another letter, saying, "Take another look."

After comparing them several times, Yue Xiyuan determined that he could not tell the difference between the real and fake, saying that "it is enough to pass for the real thing."

"It seems I haven't regressed at all."

Yue Xiyuan never expected that Yan An would have such amazing skills, able to imitate the handwriting so perfectly after only reading it a few times.

"An'an is amazing!"

"It's also thanks to Yan Shaoheng's decent handwriting. If it were Sister Ya Nan who wrote it, I estimate I would have to practice for several days."

Gu Yanan, far away in the palace, sneezed several times in a row.

"Are you cold? I'll have the imperial kitchen make you some ginger tea and send it over."

Yue Yufeng took a cloak and draped it over Gu Yanan, then ordered Eunuch Wang to go to the imperial kitchen to brew some ginger tea.

After returning to Yuelai Guest House, Yan Shaoheng suddenly felt the Gu worms in his body start acting up again.

His face was full of anger, his eyes were wide open, and his expression was ferocious, which made people feel cold.

His eyes were filled with ferocity and violence, like a wild beast that had been provoked.

"Medicine! Quickly, give me the medicine!"

Seeing that his master was about to have another outburst, Cheng Ying immediately rummaged through drawers and cabinets and found the last bottle of medicine.

"Your Highness, this is the last bottle."

Cheng Ying specially prepared two extra bottles for this trip to Yue Kingdom, but she didn't expect to use them all up now.

Yan Shaoheng didn't care about anything else and swallowed several more pills whole.

They barely managed to suppress the Gu worms.

“Master, given the timing of the Gu worms' attack, we must immediately set off back to Yan. At present, I am afraid only Mr. Yunxi can suppress the Gu worms in your body.”

"Immediately send a message to Yunxi via the mechanical bird, and have him send over a few more bottles."

"But Master..."

Cheng Ying hesitated, as if wondering whether she should express her thoughts.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's decided."

"Yes, Master."

"Yan An! You have successfully piqued my interest. How interesting!"

Yan Shaoheng's lips curled up slightly, his body leaned forward, and his eyes revealed a strong desire for the treasure in Yan An's hands.

"Cheng Ying, do you know if Bai Qing knows medicine?"

Yan Shaoheng frowned, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a sly smile flashed across his face.

"Your Majesty, I have never heard of this before. Perhaps Mr. Yunxi might know something about it, after all, Mr. Yunxi is also a highly skilled physician."

"Hmm, that makes some sense. Write a letter to Yun Xifei immediately."

"Yes, Master, I will go right away."

"Also, have Yan An send someone to keep an eye on things, but make sure they don't get caught."

"Yes, Master."

After Cheng Ying left, Yan Shaoheng took out the jade pendant from his pocket and rubbed it repeatedly in his hands.

"Jing Shu, do you think our affair has truly been exposed? You're saying they already know Xiao'er's true identity?"

The more Yan Shaoheng thought about it, the more he felt that Yan An's words today had a hidden meaning, and he was convinced that Yan An must know something.

"It seems that returning to Yan is urgent and cannot be delayed any longer."

...

"I'll have Dark Four follow you during this time, to protect your safety... um... even just to deliver a message..."

An Si, lurking in the shadows, seemed to sense that his master disliked him.

"Okay, sure."

When An Si heard that the princess had agreed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If the prince thought he was useless, he would definitely be sent to the training ground for extra training.

"It's getting late. I'll go to the palace to find my brother and show him this."

"Alright, the Emperor must know about this."

"So I'm just leaving like this?"

"Or what?"

Yue Xiyuan frowned, a hint of displeasure in his eyes. This wasn't the outcome he wanted.

"Okay, okay, is that alright?"

Yan An gently cupped his face and kissed him tenderly.

Wol Seok-won slowly closed his eyes, his body trembling slightly, as if immersed in endless happiness.

After a moment, Yan An released her lips from his, her soft, warm lips whispering in his ear, "I love you."

Wol Seok-won smiled shyly, his eyes revealing an indescribable feeling that made one want to protect him.

He shyly patted Yan An's head and kissed her forehead. "I love you too."

"lifetime!"

"Cough cough cough!" Yan Yi coughed a few times at this inopportune moment.

After being discovered, Yue Xiyuan no longer felt nervous. "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, and elder brother, you're back."

Yue Xiyuan noticed Rong Mama, who was following Jiang Luo, and asked, "Why is Rong Mama here today? Why aren't you with the Empress Dowager?"

"This old servant greets the Regent and the Queen."

"Greetings, Granny Rong."

"Oh, Your Highness, please don't address this old servant like that anymore. It's too much of an honor for this old servant."

"How could that be? Even if you marry Yue Xiyuan, you are still an elder."

"How dare I? This old servant left the palace today by the Empress Dowager's decree, and I am honored to act as Young Master Yan's matchmaker to propose marriage at the Prime Minister's residence."

"Well, I have other matters to attend to. Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, I shall take my leave now."

"The Regent should attend to his duties first."

The Yan family had few servants to begin with, and the betrothal gifts were comparable to those of imperial relatives, so Yue Xiyuan had An Si summon all the guards from the Regent's Palace.

When Rong Mama saw the betrothal gifts prepared in the courtyard, she was also taken aback.

"Presumably, when Prime Minister Qi sees these betrothal gifts, he will feel at ease even if he is marrying off his daughter."
