"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Yes, is it His Highness the Crown Prince Shaojun who is back?" Mrs. Lin asked in disbelief.

Yun Qing's indifferent gaze fell on Madam Lin, who was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Yun Qing. This action frightened the villagers, and no one dared to speak. Yun Qing slowly walked towards Madam Lin, glancing at the crowd. His innate aura made the villagers' legs tremble!

"Ma'am, do you know me?"

Madam Lin looked up, a little dazed. The person before her, that look, that white clothes, that white fox... was exactly the same as the person back then! However, the age didn't match.

"Your Highness, how could I forget your beauty? But, I, I, my eyes are blurry and I can't see clearly..."

"What can't you tell apart? People from twenty years ago and people now?" Yun Qing continued to ask!

Mrs. Lin became even more confused, but she didn't dare to deny it. She was so conflicted that she was about to collapse.

"You are Mrs. Lin, right?"

"Mrs. Lin from the Fang family!"

Yun Qing smiled gently, "It's Madam Lin, I heard Qingcheng mention her!"

"Is it Mu Qingcheng? How is she?"

Yun Qing: "She's fine. I've sent someone to pick her up down the mountain. She'll be in Fangjia Village soon. Madam Lin, please get up quickly!"

Madam Lin hurriedly bowed again, "Thank you, Your Highness. I was rude just now."

Yun Qing waved his hand and said, "Madam, don't blame yourself. This is not the place to talk. After I finish dealing with things here, we can find a quiet place to talk in detail."

Mrs. Lin nodded, and her son hurried forward to help her up.

Yun Qing looked around and saw the fatigue and anxiety on everyone's faces.

"Everyone has suffered! I will thoroughly investigate today's incident and give everyone a satisfactory explanation. Everyone, go home and settle down."

When everyone heard Yun Qing's words, they felt as if they had been pardoned. After all, they had already reached their limit after such a big battle.

Soon, the villagers dispersed. Village Chief Fang wanted to stay, but the sight of the black-armored soldiers frightened him. And this young man in white—is he really the Crown Prince? Forget it, let's leave first!

The black-armored soldiers brought Shang Yihai to Yun Qing, and Shang Yihai was tied up and pressed to the ground.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I am Shang Yihai! ... I am the direct descendant of the Shang family's side branch, and your uncle is my cousin... Your Highness, Your Highness, we are all relatives..."

"Relatives?" Yun Qing thought this was the most ridiculous thing in the world. "Okay! Since they are my relatives, I must treat them well!"

Shang Yihai felt relieved after hearing this. The two black-armored soldiers untied the ropes on Shang Yihai and began to search his body. They soon found the emerald lotus hairpin.

Yun Qing took the lotus hairpin, took out a silk handkerchief from her bosom and wiped it carefully.

Shang Yihai sensed something was wrong and was about to ask, "Your Highness..."

Yun Qing didn't wait for him to speak and kicked Shang Yihai in the chest. Shang Yihai fell to the ground and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Tell me, why are you looking for the owner of this lotus hairpin? Tell me everything you know!"

Shang Yihai lowered his eyes, a sinister look flashing across his face, but he quickly changed into a flattering one: "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. I heard a few days ago that something happened to you, Your Highness, and you were kidnapped by thieves. I was worried about you day and night. Suddenly, someone pawned valuables with me that day, including clothes and accessories, all of which were used by the royal family. I sensed something was amiss. I didn't know which noble was in trouble, so I quickly asked the brothers at Nanmenguan to help rescue them. I didn't expect that it was really you, Your Highness!"

Yun Qing sneered repeatedly: "Well said, very well said, but what a pity! You didn't say a word I wanted to hear! Come, cut off his ears. If he can't understand, what's the point of having ears!"

Before Shang Yihai could react, two black-armored soldiers drew their daggers from their waists, and with two swishes, two bloody ears were thrown to the ground.

Shang Yihai then let out a scream: "You, you bastard..." Before he could curse, someone blocked his mouth with a rag.

Yun Qing raised an eyebrow and sneered, "What a mouthful of shit! This is not easy to cure. I think it's time to give up this mouth. I'll find a skilled embroiderer to sew it up. The stitches should be fine, and it must be sewn perfectly."

Shang Yihai was still cursing and whining a second ago, but he immediately shut up after hearing this.

Yun Qing walked over, took out a black dagger, and stroked it in his hand. The extremely cold chill made Shang Yihai's heart beat fast. He closed his eyes and pretended to faint.

"Fainted? Then these eyes..."

Before Yun Qing finished speaking, Shang Yihai suddenly opened his eyes, crawled on the ground, banged his head hard on the ground, and made a whimpering sound from his mouth.

"It seems that you really have something to say this time. I hope to hear what I want to hear. If you say another word of nonsense, you will see your own tongue on the ground."

Shang Yihai was so frightened that his pants were wet in an instant. He nodded vigorously and the cloth in his mouth was taken away. The daggers in the hands of the two black-armored soldiers were pressed against his face, as if they were ready to take out his tongue at any time.

"I know the origin of this lotus hairpin. Lord Shang told me. Twenty years ago, Crown Prince Shaojun had a sweetheart, and he gave her his Double Dragon Jade Pendant. No one knew who that woman was, except for the lotus hairpin on her head. Lord Shang gave me a picture of the lotus hairpin and told me to find that woman. But I've been searching for twenty years and never saw it before, until it suddenly appeared before me the day before yesterday."

"Is that all?" Yun Qing didn't believe it.

The double dragon jade pendant might have been given to Yuan Zhi by Shao Jun, but later it was not in Yuan Zhi's hands, but in the hands of Emperor Yong'an.

"Yes, and also, that year when I went to the capital, Lord Shang said that the Shouchun Su family was the family of Crown Prince Shaojun, and that the lotus hairpin and the double dragon jade pendant might be in their possession. He asked me to ask the Su family for them. But the Su family was very tactless and refused to hand over the hairpins."

"So, you brought down the Su family? It wasn't just for the lotus hairpin, right?"

Shang Yihai didn't answer. He didn't dare to say anything. The Shouchun Su family! That's a mountain of gold! How could he dare to do that without the Queen and the Shang family's permission?

Yun Qing felt that there was something hidden in this, but he didn't know what else this Shang man knew.

"Take him down and continue questioning!"

Shang Yihai was dragged away because he had fainted. Meanwhile, the Black Armored Army brought two young men and a little girl to Yun Qing.

Yun Qing looked at the two brothers and frowned, thinking, "Are these the Fang brothers?" No wonder, they were just hunters who had saved his little girl. Why is Nuannuan so obsessed with them? Humph! She must have been fooled by these two!

Yun Qing felt very uncomfortable and asked them coldly, "Who saved Nuannuan?"

"Nuannuan?" Fang He helped Fang Bo stand steadily. Both of them were confused and didn't know who Nuannuan was.

Yun Qing felt even more unhappy when she heard the nickname "Nuannuan" being called out by the two young men.

"Hmph! You're seriously injured! Go down and take good care of yourself! Don't get involved in things that shouldn't be your business."

The Fang brothers were stunned by Yun Qing's words, and didn't know what was wrong with this noble man.
