I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

It seemed that reading the letter had taken up too much of his energy. He felt his head buzzing and slumped in the chair, feeling powerless and losing the ability to think.

The temporary assignment is just the right way to put a stop to A Yan's unrealistic ideas.

But he didn't expect such an unexpected thing to happen. He couldn't believe it. How could A Yan suddenly disappear?

He knew that A Yan had caught a cold, and he immediately ordered the maid to boil medicine. How could she be so seriously ill?

The road was slippery during rainy days and he fell off the cliff.

A pool of blood, body parts and a pile of rags were found at the bottom of the valley.

Zhao Yuan felt dizzy and his head was swollen.

Guard Cao picked up the letter that had fallen on the ground and took a look at it: "Your Majesty, is it possible that these body parts belonged to the green tea who accompanied Aunt Lin?"

The words awakened the dreamer, and Zhao Yuan's eyes focused again.

"Yes! They were together, so why was there only one person mentioned in the letter?" Zhao Yuan read the letter again.

"Call Li Hao in."

All the finishing work was pushed onto Guard Li, who rode back to the capital with Guard Cao.

------

Ruiwang Mansion, Crescent Moon Courtyard.

The furnishings were still there. After searching inside and outside for a few times, Lin Yan's scent really disappeared.

Zhao Yuan tilted his head and saw the eight-immortals table for dining outside. His Ah Yan was sitting playfully beside the table, eating everything as if it were delicacies from land and sea.

It was still this small table that annoyed him several times and pushed her onto it.

He lowered his head and kissed her hard...A Yan was so scared that her eyes widened.

That soft couch was Ah Yan's favorite. It had been occupied by him for a long time. Ah Yan could only stand by with a face full of resentment, chewing snacks secretly. When he found out, he punished her by forcing her to feed him with her mouth...

Unable to resist, he lifted her up and held her in his arms, pressing her sideways on the couch...

Sitting weakly on the couch and closing his eyes, Ah Yan was curled up sleeping on it, waiting for him to wake her up. He picked her up and put her on the bed, then lay outside her and looked at her quietly.

Her eyebrows, her eyes, her mouth, familiar yet strange.

She said that because she liked him too much, she cared about her status, so she resisted.

He deliberately gave her the cold shoulder this time just to make her figure things out.

How could this be?

Mu Xueli and Xiang Ling stood at the door, quietly looking at the dazed Zhao Yuan.

"That day, when I received the news from the servants, I couldn't believe it, so I sent servants to look for her in the valley where the accident happened. The carriage had been smashed into pieces, and a pile of rubble had rolled down, which happened to hit Sister Lin. There was also a string of wolf footprints left nearby. The limbs were broken and incomplete. I didn't expect it to be like this. Although I can't accept it, the dead are gone. Please take care of yourself, Your Highness." Mu Xueli choked up and said to Zhao Yun slowly with tears in her eyes.

Zhao Yuan remained motionless, as if he didn't hear any sound.

"Your Majesty, it is all my fault that I did not take good care of Miss Lin. Please punish me. And please take care of yourself. If anything goes wrong, Concubine De will be heartbroken."

Zhao Yuan refocused his eyes and fixed his gaze on Mu Xueli's face again.

As calm as ever. From the day of engagement, even though he ignored her again and again, she still stood by his side like a gentle flower.

I just don't know what role she played in A Yan's accident this time. Is she as virtuous as she appears to be, or is she a black-hearted person?

Although A Yan has some little thoughts of her own, she is pure-minded and it is written on her face. She wants to be a princess and to possess him alone, but she has no intention of harming anyone, as can be seen from Xie and Miao.

A Yan was splashed with water, but Mu Xueli was not even wet. Did she really think he knew nothing?

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered something! He seemed to have overlooked some key information. From another point of view, A Yan was a shrewd businessman. It was the nature of businessmen to seek good fortune and avoid danger, so he simply went all out and escaped.

He glanced at Mu Xueli, then stood up and left, leaving Mu Xueli at a loss and trembling with anger. Why?

——A dead person actually made him so nostalgic. Even after all he had done, he still refused to look at him straight in the eye. How was she inferior to that unruly Lin Yan?
