"Shuangshuang, don't be angry. You're weak right now, and getting angry can easily cause stagnation in your heart, liver, and spleen, which is bad for your health," Yun Qingran comforted Yan Shuangshuang.
"I'm sorry, Ranran." Yan Shuangshuang looked at her apologetically, realizing she had caused her trouble.
"Shuangshuang, don't say that. You didn't do it on purpose. Besides, this whole thing was directed at me." Yun Qingran said apologetically to Yan Shuangshuang.
The two sisters smiled at each other, understanding each other.
"Ranran, I'll go to the palace now and tell Emperor Yin that what I said wasn't my true intention, but was because I was controlled by a Gu worm." Yan Shuangshuang got up from the bed.
"How are you feeling? Are you alright?" Yun Qingran helped her up.
"Don't worry, I've practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I'm in excellent health. These mere Gu worms are no match for me." Yan Shuangshuang sat on the edge of the bed, and Chunhua quickly came to put her shoes on.
After washing up, the group went out to go to the palace, where they ran into Nangong Ye, who was returning home.
Upon seeing Jun Molin, Nangong Ye clenched his fist in his sleeve. "He was saved even with his heart and lungs pierced. What good luck!"
"This humble woman greets Your Highness Ye." Yun Qingran stepped forward, blocking Nangong Ye's path, and gave a perfunctory bow.
"Hmm." Nangong Ye stopped and nodded arrogantly, his hands behind his back.
"I heard that when His Highness the King of Beihan fell ill, His Highness Ye sent him a snake gall. I am here to express my gratitude to His Highness Ye on behalf of the people of Beiyin." Yun Qingran spoke gently, but there was a faint but chilling aura in her words.
Looking at her, Nangong Ye saw that she was clearly a delicate young girl, but when she got fierce, she made even him, a prince of Nan Chu, feel a chill.
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure." Nangong Ye said hurriedly, wanting to leave, but unfortunately Yun Qingran had already blocked his way, and he was too embarrassed to take a detour.
"A drop of water in need is a spring of water in return. We will definitely repay Your Highness Ye's kindness in giving us such a precious gift." Yun Qingran smiled slightly, but a cold glint seemed to be flashing in her eyes.
That bastard almost killed Jun Molin! If she doesn't avenge this, she's not a Yun!
These words were loaded with meaning, and Nangong Ye understood their implications. He was now filled with regret, wondering why he had listened to that stupid woman Yun Xiyue and sent the snake gall, which was said to have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, to the Emperor.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. I'm very happy to see that His Highness the Northern Cold King is doing well." Nangong Ye smiled ingratiatingly at Jun Molin.
They were still on Bei Yin's territory. If Jun Molin really wanted to do something to him, it would be too easy. He recalled the painful experience of his first night in the capital, when his dislocated arm was repositioned, only to be dislocated again and then repositioned once more.
"Everyone, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." Nangong Ye bypassed Yun Qingran and fled in a panic.
"I really don't know what the Emperor of Chu likes about him!" Yan Shuangshuang looked at Bei Yin, who was leaving quickly, with a look of disgust.
This Nangong Ye is nothing but a showy but empty-headed hypocrite.
The group entered the palace. Yun Qingran and Yan Shuangshuang rode in a carriage, while the others rode horses.
"Shuangshuang, why does the Emperor of Chu like Nangong Ye but dislike Nangong Xu?" Yun Qingran asked Yan Shuangshuang in the carriage.
She was a little curious. She had heard that the Chu Emperor was also a ruthless emperor, so he should have a good eye for people. How could he have taken a liking to a good-for-nothing like Nangong Ye and not Nangong Xu?
Everyone knows that the Chu Emperor had only two sons: the elder son, Nangong Ye, and the younger son, Nangong Xu. Although the elder son wasn't exactly a scoundrel, he was certainly not as outstanding as the younger son. Yet, the emperor disliked his superior younger son intensely.
"I heard from my father that the Chu Emperor doesn't like Nangong Xu, apparently because of his mother," Yan Shuangshuang said in a low voice.
She was a little cautious about whether this was a royal secret or a secret of another country's royal family.
"Could it be because the Emperor of Chu dislikes Nangong Xu's mother?" Yun Qingran asked.
It's not uncommon for a father to dislike a child because of the mother. For example, the grandfather disliked Su's two children, Yun Song and Yun Lian, because Su had schemed to climb into the bed.
Yan Shuangshuang shook her head and said, "It's not that the Emperor of Chu dislikes Nangong Xu's mother, but rather that he likes her too much."
"Huh? I don't understand." Yun Qingran indicated that she didn't understand. If he liked that woman, why wouldn't he like the child he had?
"Simply put, the Chu Emperor really liked Nangong Xu's mother, but Nangong Xu's mother didn't like him. After giving birth to his child, she left him. He hated her because of this love, thinking that Nangong Xu was useless and couldn't keep his mother, so he disliked Nangong Xu," Yan Shuangshuang explained.
"This thought process... he really should see a neurologist." Yun Qingran pursed her lips. The Emperor Chu was truly an idiot.
“You’re right, I also think there’s something wrong with his head.” Yan Shuangshuang nodded in agreement.
“However, Nangong Xu’s mother was also an extraordinary woman,” Yun Qingran said, stroking her chin.
I've heard that the Chu Emperor was handsome, with striking features and a height of over eight feet. Judging from Nangong Ye's appearance, this rumor seems to be true. He was good-looking, a ruler of a nation, and deeply loved her, yet she still abandoned him after giving birth to their child. This doesn't seem to fit the behavior of women in ancient times.
Could it be that I traveled through time and met someone from my hometown?
“My father said that Nangong Xu’s mother was truly an extraordinary woman. It is said that she was as beautiful as a fairy, had a noble temperament, and disdained power and wealth, and did not care about family ties,” Yan Shuangshuang said.
"Your description... it feels kind of familiar!" Yun Qingran muttered to herself.
"Ranran, what did you say?" Yan Shuangshuang didn't hear clearly.
"It's nothing." Yun Qingran shook her head, then said, "So, Nangong Xu is quite pitiful."
"He is quite pitiful. I wonder if it's because he grew up without a mother and was raised alone in the palace. He speaks even less than His Highness the Prince of Beihan, and his aura is cold and terrifying." Yan Shuangshuang shuddered as she thought of Nangong Xu.
"Really?" Yun Qingran couldn't imagine what kind of person was someone who spoke even less than Jun Molin and whose aura was chilling and terrifying.
“Really, but he’s very handsome, you could say extremely handsome. I think the most handsome man in the world is the Northern King of Beiyin, and he’s next. Actually, they’re about equal in looks, but they have different temperaments,” Yan Shuangshuang said.
"I'll have to go see this Prince Xu when I have time." According to scientific research, looking at handsome men can prolong life, so she wanted to see just how handsome Nangong Xu really was.
As soon as Yun Qingran finished speaking, she felt a chill all over her body. When she looked up, she saw that the curtain on the car window had been blown up by the wind at some point, and Jun Molin's handsome face was outside the car window with his brows furrowed and his eyes fixed on her.
He must have heard what she just said! Yun Qingran silently reached out and pulled down the curtain, forcibly blocking Jun Molin's view.
Jun Molin, watching from outside the car window, was furious. Yan Shuangshuang had said Nangong Xu was handsome, and she actually said she wanted to see him. Caught red-handed, she not only didn't offer a single explanation, but she even pulled the curtain down! Was she even human?
