The next day, when Mu Xiaoqiao opened her eyes, she saw Zhuo Sheng sitting beside her bed, looking at her with a smile.

She was startled and subconsciously pulled up the corner of the quilt, "Hey, old man, why are you so rude?"

Zhuo Sheng hurriedly shook his hands, "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong. I was just too excited to find you and couldn't sleep, so I came to see you. I'm leaving now. It's still early, you can continue to sleep."

After saying that, he disappeared from the window in a flash. His movements were so fast that he was worthy of being Ruan Haoyu's master. His Cloud-Stepping Step had reached the level of perfection.

Mu Xiaoqiao was speechless. How could she sleep after such a shock in the morning? She simply got up and took a walk around the Medical Immortal Valley.

I walked into the kitchen unknowingly and saw Ruan Haoyu in white busy in the kitchen. He was not the only one in the kitchen, but even if he rolled up his sleeves high, wore an apron, and stood in the crowd, he could still be seen at a glance.

Mu Xiaoqiao was stunned without realizing it and stood there for a long time without moving.

After being busy all morning, Ruan Haoyu finally prepared the meal. He let out a long sigh, looked up with satisfaction, and saw Mu Xiaoqiao standing not far away.

She had a smile on her lips and soft eyes as she looked at him from a distance.

Ruan Haoyu felt warm in his heart, and he used the Cloud Stepping Technique to instantly reach her side. He touched her head and said, "Why did you get up so early?"

"Your good master scared me awake." Mu Xiaoqiao pouted and complained to Zhuo Sheng without any hesitation.

"That old man is just a naughty boy. He does whatever he thinks of. Don't bother with him." Ruan Haoyu laughed and pulled her to the kitchen.

"I made something delicious, let me give you a taste first."

Mu Xiaoqiao followed him to the kitchen. When the disciples of the Medical Immortal Valley who were still busy saw her, they shouted in unison, "Good morning, Master's wife!"

Mu Xiaoqiao smiled awkwardly and said, "Good morning... good morning to you too!"

They haven't even gotten married yet, but everyone calls her "Master's Wife". How can she not feel embarrassed?

Ruan Haoyu didn't care at all, he waved his hand and said, "Go about your business."

Then he brought out a plate of golden balls of food and handed it to Mu Xiaoqiao like a treasure. "This is a dessert made from taro grown in the Medical Immortal Valley and mixed with red bean paste. Try it. These taro are usually grown together with medicinal herbs and have absorbed a lot of medicinal properties. They warm the stomach and are most suitable for girls."

Mu Xiaoqiao picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. After taking a bite, the sweet, crispy and sticky feeling instantly filled her mouth. Her eyes lit up and said, "It's delicious."

Ruan Haoyu breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you like it." He put down the plate and leaned over to whisper in Mu Xiaoqiao's ear, "After we get married, I'll make whatever you want to eat for you. I'm a very good cook."

Mu Xiaoqiao could feel his breath lingering around her ears, and she felt an indescribable tingling sensation in her heart, which made her blush uncontrollably. She whispered angrily, "You are shameless. How can you praise yourself?"

"It's just the truth." Ruan Haoyu achieved his purpose of teasing and stood up proudly.

Ruan Haoyu did not eat breakfast with the disciples of Medical Immortal Valley. Instead, he took the food to Mu Xiaoqiao's room to eat. Mainly because he was afraid that it would be awkward for her to eat with so many people.

Secondly, he actually didn’t want his fellow disciples in the Medical Immortal Valley to know too much about Mu Xiaoqiao. For them, the less they knew, the safer they would be.

After breakfast, Mu Xiaoqiao went into the mountain where Zhuo Sheng lived. Ruan Haoyu did not come in with her. He stayed outside. Zhuo Sheng had told him everything he could know about Concubine Li. What he did not tell him could only be told to Mu Xiaoqiao, so he did not go in to get involved.

Mu Xiaoqiao walked into the stone chamber and saw that the people who were lying on the ice beds yesterday were now sitting cross-legged on them with their eyes closed, and their bodies were covered with silver needles.

Zhuo Sheng was checking the silver needles one by one. He was so serious that he didn't even notice Mu Xiaoqiao walking in.

Mu Xiaoqiao did not disturb him from treating patients and saving lives. She just leaned against the door and watched. She did not stand up until Zhuo Sheng had removed all the needles and helped those people lie down.

Although the stone room was freezing cold, Zhuo Sheng was sweating. He raised his hand to wipe his forehead, then he saw Mu Xiaoqiao. He immediately smiled and waved, "Xiaoqiao, come here."

Mu Xiaoqiao walked over as he was told. Zhuo Sheng led her around the mountain and finally came to the outside of a stone room. There was a big "Forbidden" word on the door. It seemed that this should be the forbidden area of ​​Medical Immortal Valley.

Mu Xiaoqiao didn't understand why Zhuo Sheng brought her to the forbidden area, but she was always a man of few words, and now she knew that even if she didn't ask, Zhuo Sheng would tell her, so she remained silent.

Zhuo Sheng took her to stand at the door, but did not go in immediately. When he turned around, his face was serious.

"Xiao Qiao, before I take you into this stone chamber, you have to promise me one thing. No matter what you see later, you must remain calm and not act rashly. You must obey my instructions in everything. Can you do that?"

Mu Xiaoqiao nodded suspiciously. She didn't know since when, but her resistance to Zhuo Sheng seemed to have decreased a lot, and she was willing to listen to what he said.

Seeing her nod, Zhuo Sheng pushed open the door of the stone chamber with confidence. Unexpectedly, this door looked similar to other doors, but when he pushed it open he found that it was very heavy. There was a thick stone slab inside, which isolated the stone chamber from all connections with the outside world.

As soon as the door was opened, a bone-chilling chill came out. Mu Xiaoqiao couldn't help but shiver. This chill was unbearable even for someone like her with profound internal skills, let alone ordinary people. They didn't know what was inside.

It was cold everywhere in the mountain, and this stone chamber was particularly cold.

The stone chamber was very deep and filled with fog, so nothing could be seen clearly.

Zhuo Sheng walked in first, and Mu Xiaoqiao followed closely behind. After walking forward for dozens of steps, an ice coffin vaguely appeared in front of Mu Xiaoqiao's eyes.

After walking a few more steps, she could see more clearly. It was an ice coffin, completely transparent, with a woman in red lying inside.

Mu Xiaoqiao's heart suddenly trembled, and an idea rose in her mind. She couldn't believe it. She took two quick steps and came to the ice coffin, and saw the appearance of the woman in the ice coffin clearly.

"she is…"

Mu Xiaoqiao looked at the woman, breathing a little quickly. The woman was extremely beautiful. She lay there as if she was just asleep. Her long eyelashes were clearly visible, as if she would open her eyes the next moment. Her rosy lips were slightly curved, and her whole face was smiling. Her delicate facial features, which were very similar to his own, proved that she passed away peacefully.

"Yes, she is your mother, Concubine Li."

Zhuo Sheng's voice was not loud, but it was like a thunder, exploding in Mu Xiaoqiao's ears, making her eyes fill with tears in an instant.
