The ancient martial arts master traveled through time

Before leaving, Ruan Xiaojiu left a mark in the old man's body, which would have an unexpected effect if he encountered life-threatening danger.

The old man was reluctant to let his granddaughter go, so he accompanied her to the gate. With tears in his eyes, he said, "Xiaojiu, no matter where you go, don't forget that Qin Guo Tianshi Mansion will always be your home. Grandpa will be waiting for you to come back home," and waved goodbye.

Ruan Xiaojiu left, and her grandfather's words kept lingering in her heart, making her feel warm and happy. She liked them very much.

After leaving the Grand Tutor's Mansion, he turned around and went to the Imperial Palace to say goodbye to Ruan Jun'an. The Imperial Palace has always been a vortex of intrigue, and if you are not careful, you will die young.

Since Ruan Jun'an became emperor, he has selected two children from ministers to enter the palace as imperial concubines, but there is still no suitable candidate to be the queen.

Ruan Jun'an leads a busy life. He has to review endless memorials and handle endless official duties every day. In his spare time, he also has to communicate with the imperial concubine, which makes Ruan Jun'an's life extremely fulfilling.

That day, Ruan Jun'an learned that Ruan Xiaojiu had come to the palace to see him. He was as excited as a child and hurriedly put down his official duties to meet Ruan Xiaojiu.

Ruan Xiaojiu was drinking tea in the side hall when she saw Ruan Jun'an hurried in. The two of them met as if they had been separated for a long time. Ruan Jun'an excitedly asked his sister, "Xiaojiu, what are you busy with at home? Why don't you come to the palace to see your brother?" He said as he walked over to his seat and sat down.

Ruan Xiaojiu curved his lips and smiled, "What are you looking at? Are you busy with official business, or are you and the concubine being so sweet? I don't like to eat other people's dog food." Seeing that Ruan Jun'an is now more cheerful and sunny than before, he felt more relieved.

"What are you talking about? In my heart, you are more important than anyone else. As long as you come, I will make time to accompany you even if I am busy," Ruan Jun'an said sincerely.

"Okay, okay, I know you're the best for me."

Ruan Xiaojiu put down his teacup and said, "Brother, is there anyone in the court who doesn't obey you?"

"No, your brother is the emperor now. If you don't obey your brother, how can you sit firmly on the throne?" He said as he poured another cup of tea for Ruan Xiaojiu.

Seeing that Ruan Jun'an was still trying to cover up, he simply asked directly, "Can you handle those old antiques? I heard that several ministers are always opposing you in the court. Is that true?"

Ruan Jun'an was surprised. He didn't expect that his sister was always paying attention to his movements in the court, and even knew clearly when he was being bullied.

When Ruan Xiaojiu saw his expression, he knew that this was true and felt helpless.

She picked up the tea and took a sip. The bitterness in her throat was followed by a sweetness that made her want to savor it.

"If you have any difficulties, you can tell me directly. We are brother and sister. I said I would give you a stable and peaceful country. You just need to be a free emperor. Whoever disobeys you can be killed. Ministers who make trouble for you can be dismissed. Don't worry about whether they are old ministers or not. You must understand the meaning of the phrase 'disrespecting the elderly'."

"But sometimes what they say makes sense, and not all of it is just random refutations of me. I'm inexperienced as an emperor, so it's inevitable that I'm not thoughtful enough. It's understandable that I get scolded for pointing that out."

Ruan Jun'an picked up the tea and took a sip guiltily, not daring to look Ruan Xiaojiu in the eye.

He knew that he was not decisive enough and did not have any great talent, and it would be difficult for him to handle state affairs as an emperor. However, since he was the emperor, he had to be responsible for the people of Qin and seek benefits for the people. He was still willing to adopt some opinions that were beneficial to the people, even though those ministers obviously disliked it.

Ruan Xiaojiu nodded, "So they are not only right, but also have the potential to be imperial teachers."

"Brother, being an emperor is not much different from being a human being, so remember that too much pressure will only backfire."

"Those ministers can teach you, but to openly contradict you in court is treason and disrespectful to you as the emperor. What will you do if someone tries to imitate you? What will you do? You are responsible for your own actions. I will not interfere."

"I'll be leaving in two days. If you have any problems, go and talk to Grandpa. He's been around more than you've eaten salt, so he won't harm you."

Ruan Junan looked up at her in surprise after hearing this and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Ruan Xiaojiu nodded. "Well, go and solve the problem of Medicine King Valley. When I'm not here, Medicine King Valley is your biggest threat, and I'm worried. If you solve the problem of Medicine King Valley, your reign will be safer. This hidden danger must be eliminated."

"I'll go out and take a look. I've said before that I don't want to stay in one country all the time."

"When will you be back?" Ruan Jun'an asked dejectedly.

"I don't know. I'll come back when I'm tired of playing, or when necessary."

"Stay in the palace and have dinner with me today. We haven't had dinner together in a long time. Consider it my farewell to you."

Ruan Xiaojiu did not refuse. At the dinner table, Ruan Xiaojiu gave Ruan Junan three pills and told him that they could save his life in times of crisis. He was asked to keep them well and not give them to others easily.

Ninth Prince's Palace:

Ruan Siqi couldn't help but feel excited when he thought about leaving the imperial city with Ruan Xiaojiu. In order to ease his excitement, he went to the rockery and started practicing. He went out this time not only to protect Xiaojiu's safety, but also to relax.

Ever since he was able to fight, he had been living in the military camp and had never seen the scenery outside of Qin.

Ruan Siqi was practicing martial arts at home when someone from the Grand Tutor's Mansion asked him to come over.

Ruan Siqi was puzzled, but she still stopped and said, "Go back and tell my father that I will be there soon."

Xiao Si went back after delivering the message.

After washing up and changing her clothes, Ruan Siqi left the palace.

Ruan Xiaojiu returned from the palace at dusk. When he got home, he didn't see Ruan Siqi. After asking Xiao Cui, he found out that Ruan Siqi had gone to the Grand Tutor's Mansion and had not returned yet.

Ruan Xiaojiu looked up at the sky and asked, "Did he go there by himself?"

"The princess went there on her own and said she didn't need anyone to accompany her," Xiao Cui replied.

Ruan Xiaojiu frowned slightly, a little unhappy, and said: "Next time he goes out, remember to bring a few more people to protect him."

"Yes, Your Highness." Xiao Cui agreed.

Ruan Xiaojiu waved his hand, indicating that he could leave if there was nothing else.

Xiao Cui bowed and left, silently remembering in her heart that the princess now held a very important position in the prince's heart.

Before leaving, Ruan Xiaojiu still had a lot of things to do, so he went straight to the study to find some information about Yaowang Valley, and read it carefully before leaving to avoid any mistakes.

Before this, she had already sent people to thoroughly investigate Medicine King Valley. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles.

According to the information, it will take about a day and a half to get there. If you are not in a hurry, you can get there in two days by walking and playing.

Ruan Xiaojiu stayed in the study for two hours. His neck felt a little sore, so he stood up to stretch his body. He didn't know when Xiao Cui had lit the candles in the room. The warm yellow candlelight illuminated the entire room, making it seem particularly peaceful.

Thinking of Ruan Siqi, wondering if she had come back, he walked away.

There was no light in Ruan Siqi's room. She panicked and called out hurriedly, "Xiao Cui."
