Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Ning Yunxi finished her work of looking for her relatives at the Supervisory Office, came out of the medical space, stood in the front yard of her residence, and looked out at the distant mountains.

The snowy scenery on the high peaks, shrouded in mist and the hazy moonlight, is extremely beautiful.

At night, the north wind was biting and the cold was biting. She did not wear a cloak, and her thin clothes could not withstand the biting cold wind, and she shivered all over.

Catching a cold is not good for your health. She withdrew her gaze, turned back to the house, and was caught off guard and bumped into someone's arms.

Not knowing there was someone behind her, she was startled and looked up quickly to confirm who it was.

"Brother?"

"How did you come?"

Yan Yu took off her snow cloak and put it on her.

"Add some clothes to you."

"It's a cold winter night. Why are you wearing so little?"

"Catch yourself a cold and use it to plot a scheme?"

Ning Yunxi smiled and felt shy, and took his hand.

"Brother, you're joking."

"Now, the situation is settled, the world is at peace, why should I seek strategists?"

"Just now, I was in the medical space, doing a paternity test to help someone find their relatives. Brother, you know, the space is as warm as spring, so I was wearing light clothes."

"I just left the space and hadn't had time to put on more clothes. I just wanted to get some fresh air and forgot how cold it was outside."

Noticing that he was shivering, her smile turned into worry and she urged him.

"It's cold. Let's not stay in the yard. Let's go inside quickly."

As she spoke, she was already pushing him into the house.

They both sat down, Ning Yunxi threw herself into Yan Yu's arms, with a shy smile on her face, her complexion radiant.

Yan Yu stretched out his arms and responded to her hug.

"I came here to tell you that I have made a medicine to cure your old illness."

Ning Yunxi thought she had misheard and was surprised but couldn't believe it.

"really?"

Yan Yu took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and showed it to her.

"How could that be false? Look."

"There are three pills in the bottle. Take one pill a day. After two or three days, your pain will be cured."

Old illnesses, caused by past events, damage the heart's qi and blood and are extremely difficult to cure.

Ning Yunxi had originally held no hope of ever being able to cure her illness. Later, she accompanied her brother in developing a cure, but after several failed attempts, she grew even more disheartened. Finally, she let go of her fantasies and made a decision: for the rest of her life, she would do her best to suppress her fear and serve her husband.

Unexpectedly, he actually made a good medicine.

Ning Yunxi couldn't wait, took the porcelain bottle, opened it, sniffed the medicine, and confirmed its efficacy.

“It really works wonders.”

"Just smelling the medicine makes me feel comfortable and relaxed."

"Brother, your medical skills are superb. You are truly the reincarnation of Hua Tuo."

Yan Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Where did Hua Tuo come from in your world? How can you praise him so carelessly? Do you know who he is?"

Ning Yunxi is proud, calm and confident.

"I know."

"In your previous life, you said that Hua Tuo was a miraculous doctor in your ancient times."

"The phrase 'Hua Tuo reincarnated' is used to describe a person whose medical skills are so superb that no one can surpass him."

Yan Yu coaxed her with sweet words.

"Well, you know, my dear wife explained it very well."

"Thank you, my fool, for your high praise, Your Majesty."

He took out a letter from his pocket.

"It's late. Before I came, I thought you might be asleep. So, I wrote a letter. I had planned to put the envelope under a medicine bottle and place it by your bed as a surprise for you."

"Surprisingly, you're still awake."

"It's better to be awake. Take the medicine a day in advance, and the pain will heal sooner."

Ning Yunxi was curious, so she took the letter and opened the envelope.

"What did you write, brother?"

The words used in the letter were a bit corny. She was shy and speechless, and he looked embarrassed.

At this moment, Yan Yu deeply regretted taking out the letter. He had originally thought that the letter was useless and he would just throw it into the charcoal brazier and burn it to ashes, but he had no idea that she would snatch it away and read it in front of him.

After a moment of silence, Ning Yunxi spoke, breaking the silence.

"I'll go get some water and take the medicine."

Yan Yu followed closely behind, left her seat and walked towards the coffee table.

"I'll get you some water."

He walked quickly, one step ahead of her, to the coffee table and picked up the kettle and cup.

"I think it's time to leave Shengjing and live in seclusion in Xinglin Mountain."

Ning Yunxi stopped.

"Xinglin Mountain?"

"Brother, when did you give that barren mountain a name?"

Yan Yu poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

"Not long ago, on the day my eldest brother ascended the throne, I bought the naming rights for that mountain and named it Xinglin Mountain. Because we were married in Xinglin."

Ning Yunxi corrected.

"That's sworn brotherhood."

Yan Yu picked up the porcelain bottle and poured the pills into her palm.

"Okay, okay, sworn brotherhood. If you say sworn brotherhood, then sworn brotherhood. Anyway, we are married now."

He continued the topic of Xinglin Mountain.

"I've also hired people to transplant apricot trees. Next spring, the mountains and plains will be covered in a variety of apricot blossoms. It will surely be a breathtaking sight."

"How have you been saying goodbye these days? Is it time for us to leave Beijing and travel far away?"

Ning Yunxi held a water cup in one hand and a pill in the other. After she finished speaking, she swallowed the pill with water.

"The reunion and farewell are almost going on."

"As long as brother is ready, we can set off at any time."

Yan Yu was very happy.

"Then let's hurry up and catch up on some sleep until dawn, and then set off at noon."

Ning Yunxi put the cup of water back on the coffee table.

"I'm afraid they'll try to keep me here, so it's inconvenient to leave during the day."

Yan Yu understood what she meant and was slightly surprised.

"You mean, we pack our bags and leave right away?"

Ning Yunxi's face was solemn and his expression was serious.

"Yes, without further ado."

"We'll meet at the west gate of Yuexi Mansion in three cups of tea at most."

"Brother, it's best for you to pack your own things and not disturb others."

Yan Yu took the matter seriously.

"Okay, I'll try to pack up my belongings and get the carriage ready as quickly as possible."

"I'll see you later."

Everything was ready, and the two of them set off for Xinglin Mountain under the cover of night.

The next day, news came from Shengjing that the emperor had died of illness, leaving behind a will. Emperor Xuan and Prince Jin Yan Yu entered the palace to inherit the throne.

Before they reached Xinglin Mountain, they received a summons and had no choice but to stop halfway.

Yan Yu became suspicious.

"Why did my royal brother become ill and pass away when he was fine?"

"This is very strange."

Ning Yunxi guessed.

"Or, Eighth Senior Sister offers some advice."

"I think my brother intends to abdicate and hand over the country to you."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yu felt like crying but had no tears.

"But I said no."

"Does he still think that I'm just talking big to gain a reputation for being kind and righteous?"

Ning Yunxi analyzed calmly.

"No."

"My royal brother has no misunderstandings, only good intentions."

"He thought about how you had worked so hard to protect the Yan clan for so many years. He didn't want to sit back and reap the benefits, and he didn't want to betray the bond between us brothers."

"I've always heard that my brother is virtuous, understanding of justice, strict with himself and lenient with others. Now that I see him, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved."

Yan Yu was in a dilemma.

"His character is indeed good and impeccable."

"But, we agreed to live in seclusion."

"He doesn't want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor, and I don't want to take away the throne that belongs to him."

"As you know, I'm from the 22nd century, not from your world."

"The throne belongs to the Yan clan, not me."

"How to do?"

"He summoned me, how could I not obey?"

Ning Yunxi was distressed and at a loss.

"The will is published to the world. Eighth Senior Sister couldn't find you, so she issued an imperial decree to summon you back."

"If you don't obey your brother and sister-in-law's orders, won't you be embarrassing them in front of the whole world?"

"Forget it, let's go back."
