The two entered the warm and fragrant cabin. Since it was New Year's Eve, the kitchen had already prepared a sumptuous feast.
Qiao Dongzi was holding a wine jar and pouring wine into a wine pot.
Seeing them come in, he exchanged a few pleasantries and then left under the pretext of having something to do.
Fu Yunchen poured Yu Shan a glass of wine, "Today is New Year's Eve, I wish you all the best in the coming year."
"You too." Yu Shan smiled, her lips curving into a rosy smile, and took a small sip of her wine.
Fu Yunchen downed his glass of wine in one gulp, then poured himself another and poured a little more into Yu Shan's glass, which she had only taken a small sip of. "Did something urgent come up at this hour?"
Yu Shan replied, "It's about the Silver Winged Ice Cicada I asked you to find last time. This is the list of lost treasures."
Yu Shan took an envelope out of her sleeve and handed it to Fu Yunchen.
Fu Yunchen took it and opened it... He first smelled a fresh orchid scent, then glanced at Yu Shan before looking down at the letter.
Apart from the Silver Winged Ice Cicada, the rest of the items are calligraphy, paintings, and jewelry by famous people.
"Hmm." Fu Yunchen put away the letter, his eyes slowly becoming somewhat languid.
Yu Shan looked at him and suddenly giggled, "Why are you called the Poison Prince in the martial arts world?"
"He once used poison to wipe out a bandit village of eighty people."
Do you love your wife?
Fu Yunchen picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and replied with a single word: "No."
Yu Shan smiled with satisfaction, "Then why should we make her an empress?"
"Because I don't want to be one. And she is the mother of my child, so in case my son or daughter wants to be emperor in the future, she is the most suitable to be empress."
"If... I were to bear your child, would you make me empress?"
"If it doesn't count."
"You're still the same as before."
"In what ways am I the same as before?"
Yu Shan's gaze suddenly became unfocused, "self-righteous yet realistic."
"Besides delivering messages, what else do you do?"
"To gather intelligence. To assassinate you when you are about to attack the Northern Jin Dynasty!"
"Why?"
"Because I am the sister of the emperor of the Northern Jin Dynasty."
Fu Yunchen remained unmoved by her answer and continued to ask, "Who was the emperor of the Northern Jin Dynasty?"
Yu Shan said, "Wei Yingcheng."
Who is Wei Yingcheng?
"He is the illegitimate son of my mother and the late Emperor Kangming."
"Then whose child are you?"
"The Swordsman Silang of the Jianghu".
"What did you do to me when you were in Chongyang Prefecture?"
"The puppet talisman was added to the tea, causing the puppetry technique to ultimately fail."
"What did you do to Princess Chongyang?"
"Nothing was done."
"Is the Silverwing Ice Cicada really lost?"
"No."
Where?
“On Wei Yingcheng’s body.”
Who is your favorite person?
"Wei Yingcheng!"
At this point, Yu Shan's eyes suddenly regained their clarity.
Fu Yunchen picked up his wine glass, his question returning to the moment she was lost in thought, "How am I the same as before?"
Yu Shan replied, "I disdain sweet talk."
Qiao Dongzi came in, carrying a plate of delicate fruit and pastries, which he placed on the table.
Fu Yunchen picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth. "Dongzi, stay with Yushan for me. I have something to take care of."
Qiao Dongzi replied, "Yes."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Yu Shan quickly said, "I should go too."
"Hmm? Aren't you going to stay and spend the New Year with us? It's been so long since we've gotten together."
“My mother is bedridden, and there are a lot of social engagements at the resort during the holidays, so I have to help with those.”
