In the memory of this silly Yun Xuezhi, her mother always had a smile on her face. Although she was looked down upon by others because she had a silly daughter, she always tried her best to protect her daughter's dignity...
"My mother is already dead. What else do you want?”Yun Xuezhi gritted her teeth and asked word by word.
"I want you and your daughter to be reunited in the netherworld!" Madame Yun sneered.”
"Aren't you afraid that His Highness will find out?" Yun Xuezhi raised her eyebrows, her face full of pride.
Madame Yun was not afraid at all. Instead, she smiled sinisterly."No one will know! If His Highness comes, I'll tell him that you siblings went out to play and will only return after seven days…When you starve to death and throw you into the valley, others will think that you lost your way in the mountains…"
"How can a First Stage Madam be so vicious?”Yun Xuezhi shook her head and sighed.
"Hmph, you should worry about yourself!" Madame Yun sneered disdainfully. The windows of the Breeze Pavilion are all nailed with bars. You can't escape!”
After saying that, she dragged a wooden board over and pressed it heavily against the door. She then used a few wooden sticks to press against the door frame before leaving in satisfaction.
Yun Xuezhi looked around and found that all the places she could go out had been sealed off. She could only sit back on the bed in a huff.
This woman was neither too early nor too late, but she just had to find trouble for herself at this juncture. She was really angry but had nowhere to vent.
All the sharp objects in the room had been searched by Madam Yun, and she could not cast the Vigor Curse. Yun Xuezhi was so anxious that she walked around the room, but there was nothing she could do.
The sun slowly set, and the Breeze Pavilion gradually fell into darkness. The fading of the sun also made Yun Xuezhi completely calm down.
She sat at the head of the bed and looked down at the jade pendant Murong Xuanyu gave her. A smile slowly appeared on her lips.
The only thing she could do now was to wait quietly. She believed that the man would definitely find her.
The night quickly invaded this place, and there was no light at all. Yun Xuezhi's eyes widened as she held the jade pendant tightly. The uneasiness in her heart gradually expanded.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound outside the window. Yun Xuezhi hurriedly ran over.
"Murong Xuanyu?" she asked tentatively.
The noise outside the window disappeared. After a while, she heard a familiar voice.
"Stay away from the window. I'll save you immediately!”
Yun Xuezhi quickly took a few steps back, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the tightly sealed window.
With a muffled sound, a big hole appeared in the window, and Murong Xuanyu's face appeared in front of her.
A smile appeared on Yun Xuezhi's face, and she felt much more at ease.
"How did you know I was trapped here?”Yun Xuezhi asked softly.
" I heard that a large group of people left the Residence of Yun today. I felt that something was wrong. Yichen said that he saw you enter the residence with his own eyes, so he was sure that you were still in the Residence of Yun…"
Murong Xuanyu said as he pried open the wooden bars on the window.
Yun Xuezhi seemed to have thought of something and quickly said,"There's no need to finish dismantling it. As long as I can get out!”
After saying that, she quickly went back to the bed and piled a human figure with a pillow. Then, she covered it with a blanket. From afar, it looked like someone was lying on the bed.
Then, she walked to the window and tested the size of the hole. She bent down and squeezed out.
"Slow down!" Murong Xuanyu quickly hugged her waist and helped her out bit by bit.
Perhaps he had overestimated his body size, but his butt was stuck in the hole, and his entire body was suspended in midair.
Yun Xuezhi subconsciously hugged Murong Xuanyu's head. She turned around and blushed.
"What should we do?" Murong Xuanyu furrowed his brows and looked uneasy.
There was a faint fragrance on Yun Xuezhi's body, which made him unconsciously recall the scene of him being entangled with her in the water that day. In his panic, he actually lost his mind.
Yun Xuezhi thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and ordered softly,""Pull harder!"
Murong Xuanyu nodded hurriedly. He wrapped his large palms around her waist and pulled her out forcefully.
Soon, Yun Xuezhi was out of the cave, but Murong Xuanyu used too much strength and lost his balance. He fell to the ground with her in his arms.
After a muffled sound, Yun Xuezhi only felt the sky spinning. When she finally came back to her senses, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.
Murong Xuanyu's eyes were tightly shut, and his brows were tightly furrowed. He seemed to have suffered a serious injury, and his large hands coincidentally covered Yun Xuezhi's chest.
She immediately got up from his body and covered her chest with her hands. Her face was completely red.
Murong Xuanyu didn't move at all. He maintained the posture of " holding his hands up ", which was a little ridiculous.
"Stop pretending, get up! It was just an accident!" Yun Xuezhi finally calmed down and pretended to be calm.
Seeing that she had seen through him, Murong Xuanyu could only open his eyes and slowly get up from the ground.
"The grass here is an inch long.”Yun Xuezhi said softly.
"Yes!" Murong Xuanyu nodded, but he couldn't hide the embarrassment on his face.
Yun Xuezhi looked around and then took a few wooden fences from elsewhere.
"What do you want?" Murong Xuanyu frowned.
"I can't let anyone know that I went to the snow mountain. If I restore this place, that old witch will definitely think that I'm still in the room, so I can buy some time to go to the snow mountain!”Yun Xuezhi explained calmly.
Murong Xuanyu immediately understood what she meant. He nodded and helped her tidy up.
After everything was done, Yun Xuezhi and Murong Xuanyu quietly left the Residence of Yun.
When they arrived at the Hundred Herbs House, An Yichen and Mo Yulie were waiting anxiously. When they saw the two of them, they quickly walked up to them.
"How is it? Any progress?" Mo Yulie looked at Murong Xuanyu with hopeful eyes.
Murong Xuanyu glanced at Yun Xuezhi and nodded. He said softly,""That person's name is Wang Er, and his age and figure match. He used to be a hunter, and ten years ago, he suddenly bought a large shop in the south of the capital.”
Mo Yulie looked at Murong Xuanyu in disbelief, shook his head and exclaimed,"" The eastern region is so big, yet you managed to find out the exact information so quickly…"
Murong Xuanyu smiled and said to Yun Xuezhi,""There's no time to lose. Let's set off immediately!”
"Wait!" An Yichen hurriedly took out two bundles from behind him and handed them to Yun Xuezhi.
"There are two white fox furs and two pairs of cashmere boots inside. They are all made of the best materials in the eastern region. Put them on before you go up the mountain. Don't catch a cold..."
An Yichen explained in detail, afraid that he would miss a single detail. Even Mo Yulie, who had always been slow to react to emotions, could see through his worried expression.
Murong Xuanyu was still expressionless, but his eyes were fixed on the two of them. He felt a little uncomfortable.
Yun Xuezhi looked at this man with a serious expression and was very touched.
"Alright, that's all!" An Yichen heaved a sigh of relief and paused. As if he had mustered up a great deal of courage, he suddenly reached out and pulled Yun Xuezhi into his arms.
"You must, you must come back alive!”An Yichen bit his lips and instructed with a trembling voice.
Hearing this, Mo Yulie also fell silent. He silently handed the herbs he had prepared to Murong Xuanyu and then punched him heavily on the chest.
"You have to bring Sister-in-law back safely!”Mo Yulie smiled faintly, but his eyes were very serious." How could I meet someone who hit it off so well like my sister-in-law? I want to have a few drinks with her!"”
Murong Xuanyu didn't answer. He just nodded slightly.
The atmosphere instantly became particularly heavy. Yun Xuezhi gently patted An Yichen's back and said with a smile,"Alright! Don't make it seem like we're parting forever! I promise you that I will come back to see you safely!”
An Yichen nodded but hugged her even tighter.
Murong Xuanyu couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed An Yichen's collar and pulled him away.
"Don't waste time here. Let's go!”Murong Xuanyu held Yun Xuezhi's hand and strode out.
Watching Yun Xuezhi's back disappear into the night, An Yichen reluctantly withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and sighed.
At this time, Mo Yulie quietly came over and looked at An Yichen with a strange expression. He asked in confusion,""Yichen, don't tell me you're interested in sister-in-law?”
"What does it have to do with you?" An Yichen glared at him and walked out.
" Crazy, they're all crazy…" Mo Yulie shook his head repeatedly, his face full of confusion.
Murong Xuanyu placed Yun Xuezhi in the carriage and acted as the coachman himself. He kept waving his long whip, and the two horses moved toward the snowy mountain at an extremely fast speed.
Yun Xuezhi looked around the interior of the carriage and couldn't help but marvel at how meticulous this man was.
In addition to bedding and dry food, he had also prepared firewood and a boiler, as if he had long known that this would not be easy.
"You should sleep for a while!" Murong Xuanyu's voice came from outside the carriage.
"What about you?" Yun Xuezhi asked softly.
"I'm not sleepy!" His tone was still indifferent.
Yun Xuezhi didn't say anything else. She tidied up the bedding and lay down. She had experienced too many things today and was really too sleepy...
The crowing of a rooster woke Yun Xuezhi from her sleep. When she opened her eyes, she found that the sky was already bright. She lifted the curtain and saw Murong Xuanyu sitting under a tree, looking down at a map in his hand.
She quickly jumped off the carriage and walked to Murong Xuanyu.""What are you looking at?"
Murong Xuanyu handed her the white cloth and frowned." Wang Er said he didn't know where the Ice Lotus was. He didn't pick it himself, but dug it out from the snow…"
"You went to look for Wang Er?" Yun Xuezhi looked down at the map in her hand and asked in surprise.
Murong Xuanyu nodded hesitantly.""Your health is not good, and you did some physical work yesterday, so I want you to rest more!”
