The carriage stopped at the door of an inn. Su Shengsheng helped Mo Chenyuan down from the carriage. The waiter saw that the two were dressed like they were either rich or noble, so he took the initiative to greet them with a happy face.

"You two, are you staying at the hotel?"

Su Shengsheng took a look and nodded, "Well, find me a superior room on a low floor with a quiet environment."

"Okay." The waiter happily led the person in, then turned around and asked, "Sir, is the second floor okay for you?"

Su Shengsheng glanced at the stairs, which were not very high, and nodded, "Yes."

The waiter immediately took the person upstairs happily. When Su Shengsheng came up, he found that the business of this inn was very bad. Could it be a shady inn?

Mo Chenyuan also felt something was wrong. After the waiter left, he said softly, "Let someone from Shura Hall investigate."

After Su Shengsheng took Mo Chenyuan's pulse, she nodded and said, "They have more important things to do. I'm here." Then she poured out a pill and fed it to Mo Chenyuan.

As he was talking, the waiter came up with tea. "Sir, the tea you ordered is here. I will bring the food over later."

Su Shengsheng threw a silver ingot to the waiter and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The waiter looked at him and wiped it happily on his body, "Thank you, sir. If you need anything, just call me."

"Go down, I'll call you if I need anything."

"Got it."

After the waiter left, Su Shengsheng poured a cup of tea, smelled it, took a sip, and then handed it to Mo Chenyuan, "The tea is not poisonous."

Mo Chenyuan took it with a smile, "When did you become so cautious?"

"It's better to be more careful when you go out. If I get knocked out, we'll both be finished."

Mo Chenyuan's expression darkened. He coughed twice and looked at Su Shengsheng with disappointment. "Shengsheng, you've worked hard these days."

"Why work so hard? None of these are as important as your health." Su Shengsheng gently patted Mo Chenyuan's somewhat sick face.

Mo Chenyuan put down the teacup in his hand and gently embraced Su Shengsheng, "I have no regrets in meeting you in this life."

"Silly, stop talking nonsense like that. As long as I'm here, you'll be fine."

Mo Chenyuan bowed his head and gently kissed Su Shengsheng's forehead. Su Shengsheng smiled and said, "Okay, let's take a break."

"kindness."

After Su Shengsheng watched Mo Chenyuan lie down, she opened the door and went downstairs. When the waiter saw Su Shengsheng coming down, he ran over and asked, "Miss, what's the matter?"

After Su Shengsheng sat down, he looked around and saw only a few people scattered around the inn, so he asked, "Why is your inn so poor in business?"

The waiter was stunned, then smiled and said, "Business is not good right now. We are not the only inn in town that is suffering from bleak business."

Su Shengsheng glanced over fiercely, "I want to hear the truth."

The waiter was shocked. He didn't expect a woman's eyes could be so scary, so he had to tell the truth: "A few days ago, the master of Lotus Manor in town married a concubine and stayed overnight in our inn. Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave the next day, the bride disappeared mysteriously."

"Master Lian was angry with our inn, so he ordered people not to let people from the town come to our inn to eat, and not to let people from other places come to our inn to stay, so this is what you see now."

Su Shengsheng smiled. She didn't expect that she and the bride had such a good relationship. How could she encounter such a situation no matter which inn she stayed in? But fortunately, the bride was just missing.

As they were talking, a few people dressed in civilian clothes came in carelessly. Seeing that there were still people eating inside, they shouted loudly: "No one is allowed to eat, get out of here quickly. Master Lian has clearly stated that this inn does not accept guests."

Several guests around were frightened and left in a hurry. Only Su Shengsheng sat there. When the leader saw that Su Shengsheng didn't move, he strode forward and said, "Hey, didn't you hear what I just said?"

Su Shengsheng smiled and said, "I heard it clearly."

"You heard it clearly, but you're still not leaving?"

"I paid, why should I leave?"

The waiter was so scared that he and the shopkeeper hid aside. The leader saw that Su Shengsheng was a tough guy, so he stepped forward to push Su Shengsheng.

Unexpectedly, Su Shengsheng subdued him with one move. He stabbed the man's hand directly with the chopsticks in his hand. The man screamed when he saw the chopstick stuck in the back of his hand.

Su Shengsheng, however, continued to stick the chopsticks in with an expressionless face, and said in a cold tone: "What else do you want to say?"

Seeing their boss being pressed to the ground like this, the others were about to step forward to stop him, but Su Shengsheng glanced at them and said, "If you want to break his hands, just come up."

Several people immediately stopped in their tracks. Su Shengsheng looked at the man who was still wailing and said, "Tell me your name."

"Lotus...Lotus Manor."

Su Shengsheng lowered her eyes. It turned out to be someone from Lotus Manor. Before, she asked the people from Shura Hall to investigate the whereabouts of the Seven-Colored Lotus, and it seemed to be in Lotus Manor. So why not go with the flow and investigate at Lotus Manor?

Then he looked at the man and said, "Go back and tell your master that I can help him find his concubine."

The man was surprised when he heard it and asked, "Can you really do it?"

"I, Su Shengsheng, never tell lies."

Then he pulled out the chopsticks, "Ah!" The man let out a heart-wrenching sound and fell to the ground.

Su Shengsheng threw the bloody chopsticks aside and said, "Why don't you go back and tell your master?"

The man was helped up by his other men and ran out of the inn.

The waiter and the shopkeeper looked at the blood still stained on Su Shengsheng's hands and were so frightened that they didn't say a word.

Su Shengsheng turned around and looked over. "Is the food ready?"

The waiter nodded hurriedly and said, "I'll go and urge them." Then he ran to the kitchen, leaving the shopkeeper alone.

Su Shengsheng poured out the tea on the table and washed her hands, then looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you. On the contrary, I can help you. If Lotus Manor sends someone later, remember to notify me."

The shopkeeper nodded nervously and watched Su Shengsheng go upstairs and return to her room.

As expected, Lotus Manor sent someone over just after Su Shengsheng and Mo Chenyuan finished their meal. After Mo Chenyuan learned what had just happened, he said angrily and helplessly, "You still can't change your habit of meddling in other people's business."

Su Shengsheng smiled and said, "I'm not meddling in other people's business. Lotus Manor may have something we want."

"sure?"

Su Shengsheng shook her head and said, "You can only know if it is true after you see it."

Mo Chenyuan shook his head lovingly, then slowly stood up and said, "You can go to Lotus Manor, but you must take me with you."

Su Shengsheng couldn't persuade Mo Chenyuan in the end, and they went to Lianhua Manor together.

After Su Shengsheng and Mo Chenyuan entered the Lotus Manor, they knew why it was called the Lotus Manor, because only lotus flowers were planted in this manor. Looking at the pond full of lotus flowers, Su Shengsheng thought that this place was suitable for Mo Chenyuan to recuperate.

The two continued walking forward. A middle-aged man came out from the front hall. After seeing Mo Chenyuan and Su Shengsheng, he was stunned for a moment, and then walked over quickly with steady steps.

Su Shengsheng was just thinking about what to say to convince the owner of the manor, but unexpectedly, before she could open her mouth, Master Lian knelt in front of Mo Chenyuan.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. I didn't expect it was really you."

Su Shengsheng was stunned, and so was Mo Chenyuan. Master Lian looked up and said to Mo Chenyuan, "Your Majesty doesn't remember that you saved my life three years ago."

Mo Chenyuan thought about it carefully, then looked at Su Shengsheng and said, "It seems to be the case."

Su Shengsheng was delighted when she heard this. It was easier to get things done with acquaintances. She then looked at Master Lian and said, "I didn't expect that our prince had saved Master Lian. It's really fate."

Master Lian glanced at Mo Chenyuan and said, "This is..."

"She's my wife."

"It turns out to be the princess. I am not very good at seeing. Please forgive me, princess."

"It's okay, Master Lian, please get up quickly."

After they returned to the front hall, Su Shengsheng did not hide anything and said directly, "Actually, I came to Lotus Manor this time to find something."

"What is the princess looking for?"

"Seven-colored lotus."

Master Lian was surprised and said, "The Seven-Colored Lotus is a sacred object for healing. It is very difficult to obtain. How did the princess know that the Seven-Colored Lotus was with me?"

Su Shengsheng smiled lightly and said, "You don't need to worry about how I know this. I want the Seven-Colored Lotus to save the prince's life. If you are willing to give it to me, there are many rare medicinal herbs in the Immortal Doctor Valley. I am willing to exchange it with you."

Master Lian was surprised again: "The princess is from the Immortal Doctor Valley?"

Su Shengsheng nodded and said, "Bai Caorong is my junior fellow apprentice."

Master Lian stood up immediately, his lips trembling slightly in surprise, and then he said quickly: "In this case, I am willing to offer the Seven-Colored Lotus with both hands, but I wonder if the princess can help me save one person?"

"who?"

"Please come with me."

Mo Chenyuan glanced at Su Shengsheng and indicated that he could trust her. Su Shengsheng then moved and followed him out.

Following him all the way to a house surrounded by lotus flowers, Master Lian confessed, "Actually, my concubine didn't disappear mysteriously, but she suddenly changed her personality, so I had to order people to capture her and lock her up here."

"Take me in and have a look."

"it is good."

After Su Shengsheng followed Master Lian in, the room was silent. The furnishings inside had been mostly destroyed. A struggling woman with disheveled hair was tied to a recliner.

The recliner made a creaking sound as it was twisted. Su Shengsheng looked over and saw the woman still in her red wedding dress with her hair covering her face. Su Shengsheng stepped forward and parted her hair, and the woman's hideous face was immediately revealed.

Su Shengsheng took a step back, and Mo Chenyuan immediately supported Su Shengsheng. The woman seemed extremely excited to see someone, and struggled even more on the recliner.

Su Shengsheng looked at the familiar face. Wasn't it the appearance of the people who were poisoned in Ancheng?

Master Lian asked worriedly, "Princess, is there any way to cure it?"

"Of course." Su Shengsheng took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out a white pill and quickly stuffed it into the woman's mouth, saying, "In less than half an hour, she will regain consciousness and wake up."

Master Lian asked excitedly: "Really...really?"

"kindness."

"Oh, that's great, thank you so much, princess."

The woman was obviously much calmer after taking the medicine and fell asleep. After they returned to the front hall, Master Lian said without waiting for Su Shengsheng to speak, "I will hand over the Seven-Colored Lotus to the princess tomorrow. It's getting late. I have prepared the guest room. You two can go and rest first."

Su Shengsheng asked worriedly, "Why can't you give it to me today?"

Master Lian smiled and said, "The seven-colored lotus is grown behind my farm. If you pick it this late, it will lose its medicinal effect."

Su Shengsheng thought about it and agreed. Mo Chenyuan took Su Shengsheng's hand and said, "It's too late today. You've been tired all day. Why don't you go back and rest?"

Su Shengsheng nodded obediently and said, "Okay."

After Mo Chenyuan entered the room, Master Lian called Su Shengsheng. Su Shengsheng asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"

Master Lian kindly reminded: "Princess, do you know that the seven-colored lotus has side effects?"

"What side effects?"

"Although the seven-colored lotus is a sacred object for healing, it is also highly poisonous. If the body of the person who takes it rejects it, it will cause toxicity and put their life in danger."

Su Shengsheng frowned. She really didn't know that the Seven-Colored Lotus was poisonous. But if she didn't try, Mo Chenyuan would have less than three months left. If she tried, there would still be a glimmer of hope.

"I know, but I still want to try."

"Okay, now that Princess understands, I'm relieved."

The next day.

Master Lian handed the colorful lotus to Su Shengsheng. Su Shengsheng looked at the colorful lotus emitting seven-color light and threw it into the medicine bowl without hesitation.

When Su Shengsheng brought the medicine, he hesitated again. Mo Chenyuan knew that the seven-colored lotus was poisonous, but he had never told Su Shengsheng. But now looking at Su Shengsheng's reaction, she should know it.

Without saying anything, he took the medicine and drank it.

Su Shengsheng quickly stopped him and said, "Don't..."

Mo Chenyuan had already finished drinking the medicine. Su Shengsheng became anxious, but Mo Chenyuan smiled and said, "How do you know if it works if you don't try it?"

"But what if the poison is triggered?" Su Shengsheng said with tears streaming down her face.

Mo Chenyuan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid."

However, he spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as he finished speaking.

"Mo Chenyuan!" Su Shengsheng shouted anxiously.

------

Five years later.

In the cold winter, the snow on the mountain was falling heavily, and soon the mountain was covered with a thick layer of snow.

Outside a mountain villa, two children were throwing snowball fights. Outside the villa was a plum blossom forest. From afar, the white snow was dotted with a few reds, which created a unique scenery.

Under a tree of the most beautiful plum blossoms, a couple was brewing tea. The woman was wearing a plain white shirt, a white jade hairpin on her hair, and a snow-white cloak on her body. Her face looked even more otherworldly against the backdrop of the scenery.

The man was wearing a moon-white robe with a thick black cape on the outside. His hair was tied up high. He had a handsome face and was looking at the woman in front of him with a doting look.

"Is there something on my face?" Su Shengsheng put down the tea set in her hand and asked in confusion.

Mo Chenyuan stood up with a smile, walked around behind Su Shengsheng, bent down to hug Su Shengsheng, and said softly: "You enjoy the scenery, and I watch you."

Su Shengsheng's face suddenly turned red. She pushed Mo Chenyuan away, stood up and was about to leave, but Mo Chenyuan grabbed her waist and brought her back into his arms.

The two looked at each other, and Su Shengsheng tried to avoid him. Mo Chenyuan's voice rang out, "You're already a mother of two children, why are you still so shy?"

Su Shengsheng pretended to glare at Mo Chenyuan and said, "It's all because of you."

"Because of me?"

Su Shengsheng didn't finish her words. She was not as shameless as Mo Chenyuan. However, Mo Chenyuan didn't intend to let her go and continued to ask, "Why don't you talk?"

Su Shengsheng lowered her head shyly. Mo Chenyuan looked at her pink lips and couldn't help but slowly lifted Su Shengsheng's chin and kissed her gently.

The two children hiding not far away immediately covered their eyes and said, "Hey, Daddy and Mommy are kissing each other again!"
