The scene changed, and Wei Shang in the palace was entertaining several adults. They did not expect that Yuan Ming's whereabouts had not been found yet. Several adults suggested that Wei Shang ascend the throne directly, which would save a lot of trouble. However, in order to ascend the throne, a very important jade seal was required. Without this jade seal, no one had the right to ascend the throne.

"Has the whereabouts of the jade seal not been found yet? Could it be on him?" Wei Shang took a sip of wine and looked at the faces of the adults, crying and laughing at the same time, looking very ugly.

Cao Shangzhong pursed his lips and said, "Could it be that he hid the jade seal? It's impossible for him to wear it on his body. The assassin said that he and Nangong had jumped into the cold lake. There is no chance of him surviving."

"Yes, yes, but we have already arrested Xiao Shunzi and tortured him, and he didn't even see where he hid the jade seal. We have searched the entire hall, but still couldn't find the jade seal. So there is only one possibility, that he must have carried it with him."

Several adults discussed the whereabouts of the jade seal, and finally came to a conclusion that it was most likely carried by Yuan Ming. Although Yuan Ming pretended to obey their orders on the surface, he was actually secretly thinking about how to get rid of their control.

Wei Shang's eyes suddenly turned sinister, and he smiled at the adults and said, "Whoever succeeds in bringing back the jade seal will get the position of prime minister?"

Everyone was suddenly motivated when they heard this, and quickly raised their glasses to toast. Everyone had their own plans in mind, and had already sent out secret guards, big and small, as well as death squads and the like, to look for Yuan Ming's whereabouts, whether alive or dead.

One morning, Nangong Ruowei went to the market with a headscarf and bought some vegetables. She saw Yuan Ming groping for martial arts moves in the yard with his eyes closed, but he fell down the stone steps after a few steps and got bruised and battered. Nangong Ruowei felt very distressed when she saw this, so she quickly helped him up, sat down and patted the dust off his sleeves.

"You should rest well in the room. Doctor Liu said that you should not move too much now and should rest quietly."

Nangong Ruowei really couldn't stand his self-mutilating behavior, and she felt something fall out of his sleeve. It was an amber jade pendant, which looked quite unique in shape.

“Is this the jade seal?”

This piece of amber jade has an exquisite and unique shape, and also has a carving of a dragon seal. This kind of jade looks very simple in color, gloomy and ancient.

Yuan Ming realized that the jade seal was in her hand, and fumbled to take it back. Nangong Ruowei saw that he reacted so strongly, fortunately it was not because he was fighting for the jade, "I didn't expect you to carry the jade seal with you all the time, it turns out you have been prepared."

"This matter... was indeed my own decision. I knew that the neighboring country's contribution of the pleasure boat was not as simple as it seemed. How could we not make some more preparations?" Yuan Ming smiled bitterly and smelled a burnt smell. He frowned curiously, sniffed his nose and said, "Did you mess up something?"

"Oh no, my braised pork!" Nangong Ruowei cooked by herself. Since she had never cooked before, she didn't have much experience, and the braised pork turned out to be burnt. She could not help but put the braised pork into a plate and put it on the table with her head down.

However, the aroma was still quite strong, but the color was not very good. Fortunately, he couldn't see what the quality of the dish was.

"Try it and see how it tastes." Nangong Ruowei picked up a piece of meat and put it into his bowl. Yuan Ming smelled the aroma, but after taking a bite, he found it bitter and sour, so he quickly spat it out.

"What's wrong? Is the taste not to your liking?" Nangong looked at his reaction carefully and tasted a piece of braised pork. Sure enough, the taste was not very good.

"Forget it, you'd better not eat it. I'm afraid I'll get an upset stomach." As he said this, he was about to put away the bowl and chopsticks. It would be better to have a bowl of clear soup with noodles. But he didn't expect that he actually mixed the braised pork and rice together. After eating it, the steamed rice was also half-cooked and it was difficult to swallow. He didn't expect that he had no taboos at all.

"Don't you think it tastes bad?" Nangong Ruowei sat in front of him and saw that he didn't even feel disgusted. Suddenly, Yuan Ming wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "It's okay. It's already in my stomach. I think the food you cooked is very fragrant and there's nothing bad about it."

"All right……"

At the same time, Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen had searched the street for two circles. They disguised themselves, but did not see Zhuge and Shu'er. They came to a nearby restaurant and sat down, ordering a table full of delicious food. Gu Yunru was already starving, and after eating two bowls of rice, he still did not feel full.

"Why did you suddenly become such a big eater?" Rong Zhen said dotingly, and put some meat dishes such as chicken wings, chicken legs and duck mushrooms into her bowl, as if he was afraid of mistreating her.

"Don't you understand? If you walk too much, you'll get hungry easily, so you must make it up to yourself!"

Gu Yunru ate meat and drank wine with big mouthfuls. When he was full and ready to leave, he saw Zhuge and Shu'er. He thought he was seeing things and looked for them in the crowd, but they disappeared after a while, as if the scene just now was just an illusion.

"Have you seen Shu'er?!" Gu Yunru tugged at Rong Zhen's sleeve and asked him to look into the crowd. Rong Zhen looked at the dense crowd and did not find Shu'er's shadow. He looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Are you hallucinating?"

"This is definitely not an illusion. How could an illusion occur after eating and drinking enough?!" Gu Yunru said firmly, and began to grab his hand and get into the crowd.

"Strange, I clearly saw these two people running here, how come they disappeared?"

Gu Yunru was talking to herself when she saw a graceful woman standing next to a street stall selling candied haws and walked towards her curiously.

"Shu'er!" Gu Yunru grabbed her arm. Unexpectedly, it was Shu'er. Shu'er looked at her in surprise and said, "Yunru...how could it be you?"

"I was just about to ask why you are here?!" Gu Yunru looked at Zhuge Jinyu who walked out from beside her and then she suddenly realized that the two of them had been inseparable all this time.

"I understand. You two have been together all this time, right?" Gu Yunru looked at the expressions of the two and understood without them saying anything.
