"Tang Shiyu, as the eldest son of the Tang family, it should be a simple matter for you to investigate someone."

"With so few clues, it will probably take some time to investigate. Princess, do you know where Zi Yi is from?"

"Where is he from? I really don't know where Zi Yi is from."

Chu Xi thought about it carefully and she really had never asked Zi Yi.

"My ancestor, my ancestor, I'm kneeling down to you, can you please tell me quickly? I can't lose her..."

Tang Shiyu fell to the ground at this moment, hugged Chu Xi's thigh without caring about his image, and began to howl.

"I don't know. I didn't ask her."

"Wow, why don't you ask..."

“It’s not forgetfulness.”

Chu Xi felt a little annoyed, wondering why he didn't ask more questions at that time.

"Ancestor, my ancestor, you are trying to kill me."

Tang Shiyu started to act crazy without any regard for anything. The two servants behind him had never seen their young master act like this before, and their eyes widened in disbelief.

"Okay, okay, let me think about it..."

Chu Xi rubbed his aching head and tried hard to recall.

"It seems there is a word 'cang' in it. What is 'cang'?"

Chu Xi recalled the conversation between Zi Yi and another man when he set up the ambush, asking if she was someone like Cang.

"Heaven?"

"What heaven? You look like heaven to me."

Chu Xi patted Tang Shiyu's head speechlessly.

This action again shocked the two servants behind and made them open their eyes wide.

"Cangshan?"

"Yes, Cangshan, it's Cangshan."

Chu Xi clapped her hands and shouted excitedly.

"Is it really Cangshan?"

Tang Shiyu stood up quickly and looked at Chu Xi excitedly with his slightly red eyes.

"Yes, Cangshan Sect, it should be correct to search in this direction."

"Okay, I understand. Farewell, Princess."

Tang Shiyu cupped his hands and hurried out the door.

"Tang Shiyu, I'm leaving Ziyi in your care. Remember to help me protect her and bring her back safely."

"I will."

Tang Shiyu didn't turn his head, but just raised his hand and waved.

Tang Shiyu's two attendants put the gifts on the table and hurried away.

Seeing that there was no one around, Chu Xi directly put the two things back into the space of the Fire Cloud Bracelet.

When he returned to his own courtyard, Yanhuo had already bought everything.

Chu Xi asked him to move some of the things to her side room, which was where she had asked Shaoyao to pack up for her to use for making medicine and reading.

"Miss, do you want to cook something here?" Shaoyao asked, looking at the big pot on the ground.

"It's to cook something, but not for you to eat."

"Ah, what is that for?"

"You'll know in a moment. Shaoyao, tell the housekeeper to get some firewood. At least three days' worth."

"Okay, I'll go find the butler now."

Shaoyao responded and immediately turned around and left.

"Fireworks, come here."

"princess"

"Come on, come closer."

Yanhuo immediately lowered his head and moved closer, and Chu Xi said a few words in his ear.

Yanhuo nodded solemnly and then hurried towards the palace.

Chu Xi turned around and went into the side room and began to sort the medicinal herbs.

Mrs. Chu and her servants slowly walked into Chu Xi's courtyard. As soon as they entered, they saw a big pot and some messy things in the yard.

"Xier..."

Mrs. Chu called out from the door.

"Mom, I'm here."

Chu Xi heard Mrs. Chu's voice and quickly walked out of the side room.

"What do you want from me, mother?"

"I saw that you didn't eat much breakfast this morning, so I asked the kitchen to stew some bird's nest for you. Come and eat it while it's hot."

Mrs. Chu took Chu Xi to sit in the pavilion in the yard and placed the bird's nest in front of her.

"Thank you, mother. I'm sorry for your trouble."

Chu Xi picked up the bird's nest and tasted it slowly.

"Xi'er, what are the things in your yard used for?"

Mrs. Chu pointed at a pile of things in the yard and couldn't help but speak out of curiosity.

“Oh, that’s for cooking.”

"Cooking?"

"Yes, my daughter has been away for more than two months. She happened to meet a skilled doctor in Longma Temple and learned medicine from him for a while. So I plan to learn how to make medicine by myself in the next few days."

Chu Xi spoke slowly.

"Refining medicine?"

"Yes, mother"

"So you bought a big pot to make medicine?"

Mrs. Chu was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her daughter, who usually loved housework, would now be fascinated by medicine.

"Yes, so I won't be able to go to the front hall to eat with you and my father these days."

"Okay, it's rare that you like it, but you have to remember to eat on time and don't overeat to make yourself sick."

Mrs. Chu still remembers that some time ago, Chu Xi stayed in his room reading day and night, which ruined his health. She felt so distressed.

"Don't worry, mother. I know what to do."

"Just remember it."

Mrs. Chu nodded Chu Xi helplessly.

After watching Chu Xi finish drinking the bird's nest, Mrs. Chu sat with Chu Xi for a while and then got up and left.

At night, Shaoyao was shocked when she saw the rows of shadow guards in black in the yard, and she quickly went to knock on Chuxi's door.

The leading man was dressed in white like a banished immortal, wearing a half golden mask and standing tall.

Chu Xi opened the door and walked out of the side room.

"My Lord, I am here."

Yan Jingshuo took off his mask, looked at Chu Xi gently, and walked over to put his arm around her waist.

"Xi'er, why did you call me here so urgently?"

"It's something important. I've found all the medicines. The detoxification may be done in the next two days."

Hearing the word "detoxification", Yanhuo and the few shadow guards who knew the news all had excitement in their eyes. God knows how many years they have been running around for their master's medicine, and they basically returned empty-handed every time. Seeing their master suffer, they felt sad too.

"Xi'er, what do you need me to do next?"

Yan Jingshuo's eyes brightened, his hands trembled slightly, and his heartbeat quickened along with his breathing.

But in order not to lose his composure in front of his beloved girl, he pretended to be calm.

"You may have to put aside what you are doing these few days and stay here."

Chu Xi looked at him seriously and said.

"Okay, it's all up to you."

"Hey, where are Qingfeng and Yingyi?"

Chu Xi looked around the courtyard at the shadow guards and found that Qingfeng and Yingyi were nowhere to be seen.

“They help me take care of other things.”

"Well, let's get started."

"good"

Chu Xi pulled Yan Jingshuo into the side room.

The shadow guards at the back dispersed consciously and hid in various places in the courtyard, surrounding the courtyard so tightly that not even a mosquito could fly in.

"Miss, this, this, this..."

Shaoyao spoke tremblingly, hiding behind the door and sticking her head out to watch Chu Xi pull a man who looked like a banished immortal into the room.

"Peony, this is the Seventh Prince. I, your young lady, will be refining medicine to help the prince detoxify these days. Please help me guard the gate of the courtyard and don't let anyone enter the courtyard, not even my parents."

"But, Miss, what if the lady asks?"

"Peony, don't worry. I have already informed my mother today, and she won't ask any more questions. The young lady's future reputation depends on you."

Chu Xi's voice had a hint of coquettishness, and she stared at Shaoyao with moist eyes.

When Shaoyao saw the young lady's expression, she couldn't stand it anymore. She straightened her back and said seriously:

"Miss, don't worry, I will definitely help you guard it. Not even a bug can fly in."

After saying this, Shaoyao closed the door and stood upright in the middle of the courtyard entrance like a proud and heroic rooster.

"Xi'er, why don't you go to my palace to make medicine? Isn't it safer there?"

Yan Jingshuo stared at the slender figure busy in front of him and spoke in confusion.
