The prince's personal bodyguard

It was said that a few days later in the palace, the empress accidentally broke the incense burner used for sacrifice, and the emperor confined her to Changchun Palace, and also beat the empress's dowry nanny to death with a stick.

Arriving at the town, Apia had already arranged a hotel. We stayed in the town for one night and set off tomorrow morning. We would be able to reach Yaowang Valley before noon.

Except for the night of departure on April 1st, Bai Xinyin slept the whole day. April 15th is the last day. If she is not fired, Bai Xinyin will really become a sleeping beauty.

In the evening, a carrier pigeon brought news from Yaowang Valley that the old monk, Master Sanbian, had arrived today.

"Don't forget to report the daily situation to your master." Bai Xinyin said to Qingyun. Qingyun thought that it was your job. But he didn't dare to say it. First, he felt that he couldn't beat Bai Xinyin, and second, his face was blackened by the bomb and he hadn't washed it clean yet. Thinking that he was the first secret guard of the prince's mansion, he had to swallow his anger and nodded in agreement.

I wrote down what happened today on a piece of paper, released a carrier pigeon to Prince Rong, went back to my room to rest, and had a peaceful night.

The next morning, when Mu Yunxiao received the letter sent by carrier pigeon, he was in a very good mood. After reading it, he burned it immediately.

When Bai Xinyin and his group arrived at Yaowang Valley, they were just in time for lunch. Someone had already reported to the Valley Master and his wife.

Yaowang Valley is a canyon area about 30 kilometers long and 3 kilometers wide, covering an area of ​​more than 6000 acres. The canyon is full of medicinal herbs, totaling more than 1000 kinds.

Yaowang Valley is close to the border of Wei State. It is rainy, foggy and has deep ditches. The vicissitudes of nature have given Yaowang Valley a unique karst landform feature and many rare and endangered plants grow there.

Since Yaowang Valley is located at the border between the two countries and is an area not under the jurisdiction of the Eight No Man's Land, Yaowang Valley is not only home to Bai Xinyin's family, but also to many hermits who are far away from the hustle and bustle and yearn for a quiet and elegant life. Over time, a village naturally formed and was under the management of Yaowang Valley.

The valley is full of exotic flowers and herbs, and Chinese herbal medicines are everywhere. Therefore, most villagers make a living by planting and collecting medicinal herbs. They live a rich life with simple folk customs, which can be called a paradise on earth.

Bai Xinyin's family lives deep in the Medicine King Valley, which is filled with mazes, miasma, and formations. No one can get in without a guide.

Mrs. Bai held Bai Xinyin's hand and tears started to flow again. Bai Xinyin thought: Mother, are you the Crimson Pearl Fairy who has descended to the mortal world? Why are you crying so much? I don't seem to have anything to do with the Fairy of the Divine Water?

Her father was fine. He asked Bai Xinyin about the situation and nodded. Her father and her had never been very close. They didn't talk much. Her father collected herbs and cured people. He had no bad habits and treated her mother with respect. There was always a little unspeakable feeling, but Bai Xinyin didn't mind.

Everyone sat down to eat. There was no master or servant, and everyone was casual. The host and guests were seated at one table, and the servants were seated at another. Qingyun and Jiuguan felt very uncomfortable at first.

The great monk, Master Sanbian, also came. He was eight feet tall, with a waist that was ten feet wide, a round face, big ears, a straight nose, and a square mouth. He drank alcohol and ate meat.

He glanced at everyone, was a little surprised when he saw Ah Dai, and was about to say something.

"Shut up!" Ah Dai glanced at him sideways, and the monk smiled and said nothing more.

"Your master will probably arrive tomorrow." The monk took a sip of wine, and the wine and meat passed through his intestines, but the Buddha remained in his heart. "You should have a good rest today. To be safe, wait for your master to arrive and then remove the poison. I don't worry about him keeping watch over me."

"Okay!" Bai Xinyin didn't say much. Feeling her mother's worried eyes looking at her, she smiled at her and told her not to worry.

In the afternoon, Bai Xinyin returned to the small courtyard where she lived. She didn't like living in the same courtyard with her parents, and she liked to tinker with new things. Three years ago, she built a courtyard 200 meters away from the old house and built a few houses. She usually lived here.

Zixun, Zisu and two maids, Lanxi and Xiyanshi, all live here. There are also two little children who live nearby and usually help with cleaning.

There are many rains in the year of Yaowang Guyu, with heavy fog and high humidity. The house is built with two and a half floors, and the top floor is an attic. Some sundries are placed at the bottom, and some things or finished or semi-finished medicines need to be placed in a dry place. The attic is relatively dry.

The yard is not big, just over two mu. There are several peach trees, pear trees, maple trees, osmanthus trees planted in the yard... The wall is low, with a fence at the door. There are several roses planted in front of the window, climbing up the attic along the window frame, and climbing up the low wall along the eaves.

There is a swing under the east wall of the courtyard, and next to the swing is a wisteria. In early summer every year, the wisteria flowers bloom all over the swing, and sometimes the branches extend outside the wall to show off. Bai Xinyin would stop them and let Zixuan make wisteria cakes and wisteria buns for them to enjoy.

Several plots of land were opened up in the west of the courtyard, where flowers, grasses, and medicinal plants were planted without any particular order. Sometimes squash would grow on the crabapple trellis, and honeysuckle would bloom on the top of the corn, all depending on their mood.

There is a pavilion next to the field, with a wooden table, a few low stools and a set of chaise longues against the wall under the pavilion.

Whenever she feels tired, she comes here, listens to the birds singing, smells the fragrance of flowers and grass, and all her worries seem to disappear. Bai Xinyin named her courtyard: Wangchenju.

Although he had been away for over a month, thanks to Lan Xi, Xi Yan and the two children cleaning the place, it didn't look deserted at all.

Bai Xinyin went to the back room to take a bath. She built a bathroom with a big wooden tub. Xiyan fetched water and Lan Xi sprinkled rose petals. Her skin was as white as cream and her face was as rosy as peach blossoms. She immersed her whole body in the tub, washing away the dust and fatigue along the way.

Bai Xinyin felt so comfortable that she wanted to sleep. She dreamed again of the dream she had last time, where she was sitting on a big bird. Before she could dream of falling from the sky, she heard a noise outside the yard.

I was almost done washing, so I put on my clothes, wiped my hair casually, and went outside to take a look.

Her long black hair was loosely draped over her shoulders. Her skin was as smooth as warm jade, her eyes were full of spring, her lips were red without any makeup, and she looked so beautiful. Two strands of hair on her cheeks were gently blown by the wind, adding a bit of seductive charm. When she smiled lightly, dimples suddenly appeared. She was wearing a long lavender dress, and her waist was so thin that it could not be grasped. She was so flawless and so otherworldly.

Dumbfounded, eyes shining, drooling... This was how Luo looked when she saw Bai Xinyin, so much so that she almost dropped the basket in her hand.

Ah Luo was a young woman from a nearby village, about 17 or 18 years old, with an exotic look, deep eye sockets, big, bright eyes, a straight nose, a wide mouth, a tall and sexy figure, but a slightly dark complexion. She was very hardworking, and Ah Yin liked her very much.

"If I marry you, I will do nothing but look at you every day..." A Luo joked.

"You're talking nonsense again, do you think I can fill your stomach?"

"Yes, I can. Just looking at you and taking a bite of rice, I can probably eat three big bowls..." Luo laughed out loud.

"You're not serious. How do you know I'm back?"

"Who doesn't know? When you come back, the birds in the sky forget to fly away and just linger here. The rabbits in the mountains follow your scent. How can I do the same?"

"Hey, you're teasing me again?" Bai Xinyin scratched the ticklish spot on A'luo's body. This guy is most afraid of being tickled.

“Hahaha, hahaha, alright, alright, good Ayin, stop making trouble, stop making trouble…”

The two entered the yard, and Lan Xi took the basket from A Luo's hand. It was a basket of fresh mushrooms, which A Yin liked to eat.

Looking at the cheerful and lively Luo now, it is hard to associate her with the thin and timid girl two years ago.
