Mass Grave? What was she going to the Mass Grave for? Situ Chengyan paced back and forth. After a while, he finally understood that he had killed the palace maid who had been serving her yesterday…
"Pass down the imperial decree, the Empress has been kidnapped and should not have left Phoenix City. Search every house for Zhen! I want to see who has the guts to kidnap my empress!”After Situ Chengyan finished speaking, he left Fengxi Palace with a cold expression. Then, he secretly sent a message to the commander of the Imperial Army to investigate the White Jade Palace that all the martial arts world and even any country would fear.
After leaving the noisy palace, without the concubines paying their respects early, Situ Chengyan's occasional cold and warmth, and Xia Lan and the others looking for trouble, he suddenly felt very relaxed and comfortable. The main reason was because of Ye Mingjin. Wherever he was, he felt very at ease.
"Palace Master, Flowing Maple has returned." Ye Mingjin sat on the throne in the main hall, listening to the reports of the secret guards.
Ye Mingjin gestured for the secret guards to call Flowing Maple into the hall. After a while, a travel-worn Flowing Maple in a dark blue robe walked into the hall.
"Grandpa! Your subordinate is back. Your subordinate has something to report.”Flowing Maple knelt on one knee and said seriously.
"Speak."
"The Emperor sent someone to the Sunset Valley, and this subordinate has been following them. Three days ago, they settled down in Wuliu Town, not far from the Sunset Valley, and this subordinate rushed back.”Flowing Maple reported.
"Go down and rest!" Ye Mingjin didn't say anything and ordered Flowing Maple to rest.
"Yes, sir!" Flowing Maple cupped his fists and retreated. Ye Mingjin furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought…
At noon, Mu Xiyan did not see Ye Mingjin, so she went out for a walk. The outside of the house was like a paradise. About a hundred meters away from Ye Mingjin's house, a small stream flowed briskly. The water gurgled, and the pleasant sound made Mu Xiyan enjoy it very much. She could not help but stop to listen for a while. The flowers and plants along the way were very bright, and there were many pavilions. Even Mu Xiyan herself did not know where she had gone. She saw a thatched hut, and there seemed to be voices inside. Mu Xiyan thought that they were all people from White Jade Palace, and she had to greet them as a courtesy, so she walked in.
Just as he reached the door, a bitter smell of Chinese medicine wafted out. Who was brewing the medicine? As soon as they entered the door, they saw two figures, one purple and one blue. Mu Xiyan cried out in surprise, and the two of them were obviously surprised when they saw who it was.
"Big Brother Flowing Maple! Why are you here?" Mu Xiyan saw that Flowing Maple was talking to the man who gave her the medicine. She shouted happily,""I thought you were on vacation. So you've been in White Jade Palace all this time!”
"Miss Mu, why are you here?" Flowing Maple didn't say anything, but Luo Qing asked.
"I had nothing to do, so I came out for a walk. I didn't expect to come to your place.”Mu Xiyan asked curiously.
"Young Lady Mu's health is not good, you should rest more.”Luo Qing said gently.
"It's fine. It's just a little blood.”Mu Xiyan rubbed her hair and said embarrassedly.
"Right, since Miss Mu is here, this is for you.”Luo Qing took out a small white bottle from his sleeve.
"What is this?" Mu Xiyan took the bottle and stared at it for a while.
"This is White Jade Ointment. Miss Mu is injured, so you should apply it once in the morning and once in the evening.”Luo Qing explained.
Hearing Luo Qing's words, Mu Xiyan said happily,""Thank you! By the way, I heard you guys talking about the Sunset Valley just now. What kind of place is it? Are you guys going on a trip?"
" Hehe, that's a place where you can't even spit out your bones…" Luo Qing said thoughtfully.
"Then are you still going?" Mu Xiyan was puzzled.
"Miss Mu, hurry up and go back. The Palace Master will be anxious if he doesn't see you.”Luo Qing changed the topic and instructed Liu Feng,"Liu Feng, you can escort Miss Mu back. After lunch, I will boil Miss Mu's medicine and send it over.”
Mu Xiyan reluctantly followed Flowing Maple out. She could already guess that they were going to the Sunset Valley. There should be something they needed there, and it was very dangerous. She just didn't know if Ye Mingjin would go.
Mu Xiyan followed Flowing Maple on the way back. She couldn't help but ask curiously,""Big Brother Flowing Maple, why haven't I seen you these past few days?”
There was no reaction…
"Big Brother Flowing Maple!" Mu Xiyan shouted again.
Still no reaction…
After understanding Liu Feng, Mu Xiyan decided not to call him anymore. She quietly followed Liu Feng back to Ye Mingjin's room.
Ye Mingjin was already sitting in front of the table. He only relaxed his furrowed brows when he saw Mu Xiyan.
"Grandpa!" Flowing Maple cupped his fists.
"Where has Big Brother Flowing Maple been these past few days? Why haven't I seen him in the palace?”Mu Xiyan asked Ye Mingjin curiously.
"There are some things that Flowing Maple needs to do.”Ye Mingjin sipped his tea and ordered Flowing Maple to leave.
"Are you going to the Sunset Valley?”Mu Xiyan asked casually.
Ye Mingjin was stunned and replied,"Yes."”
"Can you take me there?" He didn't stop her as he had expected. Instead, he looked forward to it.
"Alright." Ye Mingjin didn't refuse. With his ability, it was more than enough to protect her. And he didn't want to not see her for a long time.
"Yan 'er, do you want to go out for a walk?”Ye Mingjin suddenly asked.
"Phoenix City? Sure!" Mu Xiyan said excitedly. Although Situ Chengyan might send someone to look for her, she was relieved that Ye Mingjin was there.
"I ordered people to make ten sets of clothes for the time being. They're in the cabinet. Try them on and see if you like them.”A simple but loving sentence warmed Mu Xiyan even more.
"Ye…you're so good to me." Mu Xiyan didn't exaggerate at all. She hugged Ye Mingjin with a satisfied smile.
Ye Mingjin hugged Mu Xiyan back and smiled faintly. He had never felt so fulfilled before.
When he opened the cabinet, he saw clothes of various colors. On closer inspection, they were all made of rare materials in the palace. Each piece was exquisitely crafted, and the style was also very beautiful. There was a large jade box under the cabinet. When it was opened, it was filled with layers of jewelry. Each of them was priceless, and the gems carved on them were even larger than those seen in the palace!
"Where did you buy so much jewelry? These are very expensive, right?" Mu Xiyan's heart ached. It was just jewelry. Why did they have to pay so much for it? Wouldn't it be a pity if it was stolen by others?
"It's good that Yan 'er likes it." Ye Mingjin was very satisfied when he saw Mu Xiyan's distressed expression. The White Jade Palace was as rich as a country, but this was secondary. However, he didn't tell Mu Xiyan that he had ordered people to make these pieces of jewelry one by one after he had thought of the styles in his heart.
The sky had just turned dark. Ye Mingjin personally picked out a light purple silk dress with silver patterns for Mu Xiyan. He also changed into a purple brocade robe, looking very handsome. Mu Xiyan sat in front of the mirror and combed her hair into a side tassel bun. She was about to go out, but Ye Mingjin pulled her back to sit in front of the mirror. He took out a gold-inlaid half-winged butterfly hairpin from the jade box and inserted it into Mu Xiyan's hair before leaving.
