Night slowly fell, like a thick black curtain, quickly enveloping the surrounding world in deep silence and mystery.

"Master, your guess is right. The current Queen Mother has no other children except the King Lan Xuanming." Qian San stood aside, his tone filled with certainty and determination.

Jun Lingyuan raised his head slightly, his deep gaze penetrating the darkness.

Gazing at the endless night sky, he seemed lost in thought, as if realizing something: "It seems that the disappearance of Princess Lan is probably far more complicated than it appears to be."

Qian San was stunned, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes, and he asked in a low voice: "Master, this is Lan Country's family affair, why should we interfere?"

Jun Lingyuan's expression instantly grew serious, and he slowly spoke, "This not only concerns the identity of the Princess of Lan, but also her true connection to the current situation, and can confirm her true identity."

Qian San said nothing more, as he already knew in his heart who the "she" his master was referring to was.

"Continue to investigate in depth and pay close attention to the Queen Mother's movements." Jun Lingyuan's voice was cold and firm.

"Yes, I understand." After responding to the order, Qian San quickly turned around and left, walking farther and farther away in the night.

……

In a stately mansion southeast of the imperial palace, the lights were dim.

In the study, a man was sitting at the desk.

Holding the letter that had just been delivered tightly in his hand, he frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "It seems that he finally couldn't hold it back anymore..."

He pondered for a moment, then called out, "Someone! Go and see if the young lady has gone to bed, and have her come to see me immediately."

Soon after, light footsteps gradually approached.

The door was gently pushed open, and the woman walked into the study with light steps and beautiful eyes. She asked gently, "Father, what do you want to see your daughter for?"

The man looked up at her, motioned her to come closer, and whispered, "You need to go to the palace in the next two days to visit the Queen Mother. At the same time, you must spend more time with the King."

The woman's eyes flashed with confusion when she heard this. "Father, why did you suddenly make such an arrangement? What happened in the palace?"

The man's face was solemn as he slowly spoke, "The leader has sent a letter, suggesting that he is beginning to lose his composure and the situation seems to be changing. From what I understand, some people in the palace have already quietly left."

After hearing this, the doubts on the woman's face immediately disappeared, and she showed a hint of joy. "So that's the case, that's really good news."

The man nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with complex thoughts, "Well, get ready and go to the palace tomorrow morning."

"I understand, father. I will prepare it right away."

The woman immediately smiled, turned around and left, walking hurriedly with a cheerful mood.

……

The night gradually fades away, the dawn breaks through the darkness, and the warm sunshine shines on the earth, bringing a new day.

Feng Qingyue woke up slowly from her sleep and stretched lazily.

She stood up and walked to the dressing table, combed her hair gently, dressed herself up simply, and slowly walked out of the tent.

She strolled forward, muttering to herself, "I wonder where Jun Lingyuan went last night..."

While he was lost in thought, Lan Yue's clear and pleasant voice came from afar: "Goddess, breakfast is ready."

Feng Qingyue looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lan Yue standing there gracefully, smiling and waving at her.

She chuckled and walked over, feeling a little warm in her heart.

When she approached the dining table, she found that Chen Jinyu, the Prime Minister and others had already sat down, waiting for her arrival.

Seeing everyone waiting so respectfully, Feng Qingyue felt a little guilty, and a shy smile appeared on her face.

He said softly, "I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting! You've all worked so hard, so don't be so reserved, just start eating!"

After saying that, she took the first seat.

Everyone nodded, then sat down and started to have breakfast.

The house was filled with the aroma of food, and the sounds of laughter and conversation among the people were endless, creating a joyful and warm atmosphere.

After breakfast, everyone took a short rest and then prepared to set off.

After all the arrangements were made, everyone set out on the journey to Mount Dark Shadow with some anticipation and some trepidation.

Feng Qingyue looked a little anxious. She looked around eagerly, but she still couldn't see the familiar figure - Jun Lingyuan.

She couldn't help but frown slightly and whispered to Lan Qing beside her: "Lan Qing, have you seen Pavilion Master Jun this morning?"

Lan Qing shook his head, "I haven't seen it."

Feng Qingyue's heart sank slightly, and she thought to herself: We clearly agreed to go together, could it be that he changed his mind at the last minute?

At this time, Chen Jinyu walked up to her and asked with concern: "Ayue, what are you thinking about? It's getting late, let's get ready to leave?"

Feng Qingyue came back to her senses, a forced smile appeared on her face: "Nothing, let's go."

However, she couldn't hide a hint of loss in her eyes.

Everyone gathered around, and the Prime Minister, with a serious face, warned: "Goddess, this journey is long, please be careful. Jin Yu, you must protect the goddess."

Chen Jinyu nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, father. I will do my best."

Lan Yue and Lan Qing also stepped forward at the same time and said in unison: "Goddess, take care of yourself."

Chen Jin'er looked concerned and gently warned: "Qingyue, be careful in everything you do and don't underestimate the enemy."

Feng Qingyue smiled and responded, "Thank you for your concern. I will take good care of myself. I hope you will all take care of the villagers here during this trip."

She turned and got into the carriage that had been prepared.

Chen Jinyu jumped on his horse, and the other entourage followed closely behind. The carriage slowly set off under the escort of everyone, heading towards the Dark Shadow Mountain.
