An Xue glanced at Zheng Shuze and said with some disdain, "Zheng Shuze is a guy who just likes to get close to people."

He always called Zhuyi "brother" before, but now he calls him by his full name. Zhuyi is not angry at all, and even looks doting on him.

"You are still my elder sister even if you are two or three days older than me. If you don't let me call you elder sister, then I can call you Sister Xue?"

Zheng Shuze smiled innocently and said in a mean way that since the master's wife was there, An Xue wouldn't dare to hit him. If he really had to, he would just hide behind Zhu Yi.

"How disgusting, Zheng Shuze, if you dare to call me that, I'll punish you or not. Get out of the way, we have to leave Lingzhou for something."

An Xue said with a cold face, Zheng Shuze really deserves a beating, why doesn't Zhu Yi take him in quickly? To avoid causing trouble for others.

Zheng Shuze said quickly, "Sister Xue, you and Miss An can leave Lingzhou, but respectfully—"

"The master has ordered that others can enter and leave Lingzhou normally, but the madam cannot leave Lingzhou."

Zhu Yi interrupted Zheng Shuze and said calmly.

Zheng Shuze was stunned and almost let it slip that he should call the master "master" in front of Miss An Ran.

"Shengsheng won't let me leave Lingzhou?" Nanxi said with some confusion.

Zhu Yi said respectfully, "Yes, the master said that for safety reasons, Madam cannot leave Lingzhou."

Nanxi was slightly stunned. Could it be that because of the previous kidnapping by Yulingshuang, Yan Sheng was worried about her and didn't let her leave Lingzhou?

"Sister Nanxi, why don't you stay in Lingzhou? If you and I go to Qingzhou, I won't be able to explain to Ayan if something unexpected happens."

Hearing this, Leng Yan'an looked up at Nanxi and spoke softly.

"Okay, then Sister An Ran, please help me bring these two bottles of wine to Mr. Yan."

Nanxi pondered for a moment, handed two bottles of wine to Leng Yanan, and said in a gentle voice.

Leng Yanan took the wine and said with a chuckle, "Don't worry, Sister Nanxi, I will definitely bring it to you."

"Xiaoxue, follow Sister An Ran to Qingzhou and protect her safety."

Nanxi nodded, looked at Anxue, and spoke softly.

An Xue was stunned, looking embarrassed and hesitant, "Miss Nanxi, this——"

"It's okay, Xiaoxue. I'm safe in Lingzhou with Zhuyi and the others. I don't need you to serve me."

Nanxi smiled and said that since Yan Sheng would be back soon, she would just stay in Lingzhou and wait for Yan Sheng to come back.

An Xue said respectfully, "Yes, Miss Nanxi."

"Sister Nanxi, let's go first."

Leng Yanan said lightly, and left Lingzhou City with Anxue.

In the East Palace, Chen Jiang reported the situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion to Yu Zhihan. He had already found a lot of evidence of Gu Ye's crimes.

"Wu Yu has fled the capital? Chen Jiang, you must immediately issue a wanted order for Wu Yu and search the entire country of Yu."

Yu Zhihan's eyes sank slightly. When he learned that Wu Yu had escaped from the capital, he became furious.

The palace is in chaos now, Yu Haotian is unconscious, and Yu Zhihan is the crown prince, so he can only take on the task in times of crisis.

All affairs of the palace are temporarily handled by the Crown Prince Yu Zhihan, including daily memorials and the Queen's funeral.

The Queen Mother was already in poor health. When she heard that Yu Haotian was in a coma and the Queen had died, she became so angry that she fainted.

As for the fake prime minister Gu Ye, he committed a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of his clan, and his family members will be sentenced to death.

Although Leng Ruoyun was Gu Ye's daughter, she was spared from death and demoted to the prince's concubine because she had married the prince and was pregnant with royal children.

Wu Yu’s successful escape was definitely due to Leng Ruoyun’s tip-off and help.

Regarding the matter of Gu Ye, Yu Zhihan could not be corrupt or show favoritism. After all, Gu Ye was his father-in-law, a member of the Wufeng Sect, and had an affair with Concubine Xian.

If Yu Zhihan cannot act impartially and give justice to Prime Minister Leng Chengxun, his career as the crown prince will be over.

It is already good enough to save Leng Ruoyun. Leng Ruoqing and Wu Yu must be beheaded in public to serve as a warning to others.

"Leng Ruoyun, where did your mother Wu Yu go?"

Yu Zhihan hurried to Leng Ruoyun's bedroom, looked up at Leng Ruoyun, and said coldly.

"Your Highness, isn't my mother in the Prime Minister's Residence? How would I know where she went?"

Leng Ruoyun looked directly at Yu Zhihan and said without changing his expression.

She thought to herself that it seemed that her mother had successfully left the capital, otherwise Yu Zhihan would not have come to question her.

"Don't play dumb for me. You know best what crime Gu Ye committed. Send Shuang'er out of the palace to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inform Wu Yu. Don't think I don't know."

Yu Zhihan narrowed his eyes, pinched Leng Ruoyun's chin, and said in a cold voice.

"Your Highness, I did ask Shuang'er to inform mother, but I have no idea where she is."

Leng Ruoyun was stunned for a moment, held her waist, endured the pain, and spoke softly.

Yu Zhihan shook off Leng Ruoyun and said sternly, "Really? Sheltering a criminal is considered an accomplice. Are you a remnant of the Wufeng Cult?"

"Your Highness, believe it or not, I never leave the house and have no martial arts skills. How could I be a member of the Wufeng Sect?"

Leng Ruoyun said softly, her eyes slightly red and tears flashing in them, looking very fragile.

"Go to bed early. You can't even save yourself, so forget about saving others. If you interfere in this matter again, I can't save you either."

Yu Zhihan looked up at the pitiful Leng Ruoyun and said with some softness in his heart.

Gu Ye had hidden his identity for many years and had made careful plans. If Leng Ruoyun was a member of the Wufeng Sect, he would have died long ago.

Leng Ruoyun nodded gently and said softly, "I understand."

After watching Yu Zhihan leave, Leng Ruoyun's eyes moved slightly, he sneered, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

I hope my mother can evade the pursuers, arrive safely in Liuzhou, and live in anonymity.

As long as Wu Yu survives, when Yu Zhihan ascends the throne, she will find a way to bring Wu Yu back to the capital.

A month later, Yan Sheng, Anye and Anyue walked through Linshui Bay and arrived at Taizhou of Yue State.

"My Lord, we will reach Soul-Breaking Ridge in two days. This is a letter from Lingzhou."

An Ye handed the letter to Yan Sheng and said respectfully.

Yan Sheng took the letter excitedly, knowing it must be a letter from Nanxi to her.

When she opened the letter, it was full of mumblings, such as accusing Yan Sheng of not keeping his word and not returning to Lingzhou to celebrate the Spring Festival with her.

For example, Yan Chilean can crawl now, and Yan Yuluan can babble and seems to understand what they are saying.

Nanxi also said that she had been practicing martial arts recently and asked her when she would return to Lingzhou so that she would teach her a lesson.

Yan Sheng smiled and carefully put the letter into her arms. She also wanted to get the Shenyan Flower as soon as possible and return to Lingzhou to see Nanxi.

"Dark Night, Dark Moon, go to the Blood Bamboo Branch Hall in Taizhou to rest first, and prepare some Artemisia capillaris and other herbs to prevent miasma before setting off again."

Yan Sheng said lightly that she, Anye and Anyue had been traveling by water for a month.

Not only does he sleep on the boat deck, but he also eats fish, shrimp and kelp every day. He is already tired of them and now Yan Sheng wants to vomit when he sees fish.
