"How dare Xiliang seize the national treasure of Tiansheng!" Mu Qianqiu was furious. "This is too much! Since Xiliang is now preparing to withdraw its troops, give the order to Sheng'er and we will directly attack Xiliang and start a war. If they don't hand over Imperial Physician Chuyun, we Tiansheng will flatten Xiliang!"
No one expected that Mu Qianqiu would call Yun Miao a national treasure, and even directly issue a declaration of war to Xiliang for Yun Miao!
It seems that Doctor Yun’s status is extremely important in His Majesty’s eyes.
"Father!" Mu Linyuan suddenly knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty!" "I am willing to lead the troops to Yicheng. My third brother is now not only worried about the matter of Divine Doctor Yun, but also about solving the internal problems and controlling the plague. It is really tiring. I find it hard to wait for news in the capital without sharing the burden. Since you are going to send troops, I am willing to assist you. It is time to let Xiliang Kingdom see the power of Tiansheng."
"Second Prince, you can't do that!" Unexpectedly, Yun Shengzhi became anxious.
Everyone looked at him. Yun Shengzhi immediately calmed down and said to Mu Qianqiu above, "Your humble servant also feels that now that everything in Yicheng is under control, there is no need to send two such outstanding princes to the border. Besides, the matter of sending troops is still under discussion. The letter said that the Crown Prince of Xiliang is already under siege, so it is only a matter of time before we find Divine Doctor Yun. Your humble servant knows that Your Majesty loves his subjects dearly, but Your Majesty has always been kind-hearted. If war really breaks out again, only the people will suffer. The civil unrest in the Yicheng camp has just subsided, so we must avoid further fighting."
In fact, he just felt that his daughter's marriage was approaching and he didn't want any sudden changes to happen.
Besides, Mu Lansheng’s military achievements were already confirmed, so Mu Linyuan wouldn’t be able to gain anything if he went there.
"We, Tiansheng, are strong and powerful. If it weren't for the bad behavior of Xiliang that triggered the plague, we would have defeated them long ago. Now that the plague has been resolved, it doesn't mean that Tiansheng will tolerate this vengeance." Mu Qianqiu sneered at Yun Shengzhi, "Prime Minister Yun, I have a kind heart, but that doesn't mean I can remain indifferent when someone bullies me."
As he spoke, he looked at Mu Linyuan who was kneeling below him, and waved his hand and said, "Since Yuan'er has such a wish, I agree."
When the court was dismissed, Yun Shengzhi caught up with Mu Linyuan and said, "Second Prince, please wait a moment!"
"Is there anything wrong, Prime Minister Yun?" Mu Linyuan's expression was calm.
Yun Shengzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Second Prince, I don't understand."
"What don't you understand?" Mu Linyuan pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth.
Yun Shengzhi felt a little resentful. "Now that Mulansheng has defeated Xiliang and put an end to the plague, what's the point of you going to Yicheng? Besides, if you go to Yibiancheng, the wedding date... will be delayed again. My Mian'er..."
"I will definitely keep Sixth Miss's marriage in mind and will arrange it when I return," said Mu Linyuan.
Yun Shengzhi felt relieved when he saw that Mu Linyuan would not break his promise, but he cautiously asked, "You are not asking for this favor for Yun Miao, are you?"
Unexpectedly, Mu Linyuan suddenly turned to look at him with a sharp gaze, a hint of danger in his eyes: "Prime Minister Yun, you are worrying too much. Now that the emperor has agreed, there is no point in saying more. After I report the victory, I will discuss it with Prime Minister Yun in detail. Farewell!"
Having said that, he just flicked his sleeves and left.
Yun Shengzhi was left standing there with an extremely ugly expression.
The boat drifted on the water for three days and three nights.
During these three days, Yun Miao was locked up alone in a room in the corner of the boat and did not see Qingyan again.
But she was also happy and peaceful, as someone would bring her food on time.
"Dongdong~"
Someone knocked on the door.
Yun Miao went forward and opened the door. As expected, the woman in a white dress handed her the food on the plate with a cold look on her face and left without saying a word.
Looking at the food on the plate, just a few slices of green vegetables and bean sprouts, it looked bland and tasteless.
She immediately closed the door and dropped the plate on the table.
The maids in the Immortal Palace stared at Yun Miao's tightly closed door and whispered to each other, "What key figure in the battle with Tiansheng? I think this prince is just lusting after beauty."
"Oh, it's just a shell. Such a person is not even as good as the maids sweeping the floor in our Immortal Palace."
"But she didn't make a fuss even though we deliberately withheld her food. Mortals are mortals, and I'm afraid she's scared to death when she sees us."
Little did he know that Yun Miao in the room had taken out a whole fragrant oil-paper chicken from the space and was sitting by the window, chewing it.
For this march, she prepared a lot of food, which can be kept fresh in the space.
It’s a pity that I only had the chance to take out a bunch of sweet potatoes along the way.
There was only a mountain of food left in the space, and now I had to eat it all by myself.
The small hut within the space felt even more homely. Yun Miao, able to manipulate food heating in the kitchen with her mind, stir-fried fresh vegetables and brought them to the table. The vegetables grown within the space were naturally more delicious and sweet, unlike the limp, almost yellowing leaves prepared by the Immortal Palace.
"If I weren't a bird in captivity, this life would be quite pleasant." Yun Miao gnawed on a chicken leg and looked out the window at the river. The boat had entered a world of vibrant green. Even the biting chill of the wind suddenly subsided. Yun Miao even spotted flowers on both sides of the river that didn't belong to this season.
Yun Miao held the roast chicken in her hand and sighed softly: "It's been a long time since I last felt this way..."
This is the world that belongs to her original self.
In the mortal world, she has always restrained her own energy. Firstly, she is used to the rule of her predecessor as an ancestor that she cannot use spiritual power to interfere with the cause and effect of mortals. Secondly, when she has not fully understood the strength of the top of the pyramid of this plane, exposing herself in advance will only bring trouble.
Like his own sealed body, like the fortune teller who was said to be a master of divination, like the mysterious Red Moon Palace, like this immortal palace hidden behind the scenes.
Only when she peels off the true face of this plane layer by layer, can she feel at ease and no longer need to pretend.
The river narrowed, and with lush greenery, it felt like a new world unfolded before her. The low weeping willows and vines stretched out in disorder outside the window, and there were even intercepting boats, so close that she could touch them.
Suddenly, their vision cleared up again, as if they had just passed through a spatial tunnel. A new village appeared, and pavilions and towers instantly came into view, nestled among the mountains. The harmony between these buildings and nature was surprisingly seamless, a dreamlike blend of breathtaking spring and summer colors everywhere, leaving one sighing.
Their boats floated among these buildings and flowers, attracting a lot of attention.
"The Saint has returned."
After cheering, everyone on the shore stopped and knelt down respectfully to pay their respects.
Finally, the boat stopped at an exclusive bay, and there was a long wooden bridge across the bay. At the end of the bridge, you could see a majestic wooden palace.
"We're here." The voices of the maids came from the door.
Yun Miao put the things on the table into the space and hid the half-eaten roast chicken.
Then he watched the door of his room being pushed open.
