Qingfeng gently pushed open the door and saw Zizhu Yingchen still lying on the bed, seemingly in deep thought.

He stepped forward and asked, "Master, you're awake now. How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zizhu Yingchen frowned slightly, sat up gently and shook his head.

"It's okay, I'm just a little uneasy about what happened last night. Last night... you didn't do anything out of hand, right?" He waited anxiously for Qingfeng's reply.

Qingfeng held him steadily and comforted him softly, "Master, don't worry, everything is fine."

Zizhu Yingchen nodded slightly, seeming relieved.

Then he seemed to remember something: "Where are those two people from last night? How are they now?"

Qingfeng replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, the two guests from last night are staying in the courtyard next door."

"Do you need me to help you get up?" Qingfeng asked carefully.

Zizhu Yingchen nodded and stretched out his hand slightly. Qingfeng immediately supported his back and gently helped him up.

Let’s go out and take a look!

The two walked out of the room.

When I arrived at the breakfast yard, I saw Feng Qingyue and Jun Lingyuan having breakfast, looking as comfortable as if they were at home.

Feng Qingyue saw them approaching and hurried forward, asking with concern, "Uncle, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qingfeng heard this from the side, nodded slightly, and said with gratitude: "Thank you for your concern, Miss. Our young master is fine now."

However, Feng Qingyue sensed the coldness in Qingfeng's tone and turned to him with a slightly displeased look, her tone slightly sharp: "Sir, is this how you express your gratitude?"

Upon seeing this, Zizhu Yingchen coldly interrupted the conversation between the two, his tone calm but with a bit of majesty: "Okay, Qingfeng, you step back first."

He turned his gaze to Feng Qingyue, "Sit down, I didn't hurt you last night, did I?"

Feng Qingyue and Jun Lingyuan looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, "It's okay."

Zizhu Yingchen nodded slightly, seeming to put aside some of his worries. "Let's not talk about what happened last night for now. Let's eat first."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the plate on the table, lowered his head and began to eat, as if everything had returned to normal.

Feng Qingyue didn't say anything else, and returned to her seat, continuing to eat breakfast quietly.

At the dining table, the atmosphere became quiet again, and the three of them lowered their heads and concentrated on eating breakfast.

Occasionally, the sound of birds singing outside adds a touch of harmony and tranquility.

After breakfast.

Zizhu Yingchen raised his head and looked at Feng Qingyue.

With a look of majesty that could not be refused, he smiled gently: "Come with me."

Feng Qingyue looked at Jun Lingyuan beside her. He nodded slightly, motioning her to follow him.

After entering the room, Zizhu Yingchen was already sitting at the table, with a look of deep thought in his eyes, waiting for Feng Qingyue's arrival.

She walked in, still maintaining her calm and gentle demeanor, "Uncle."

Zizhu Yingchen looked at her, seemed to be silent for a while, and slowly said: "I was a little emotional last night. Who is that His Majesty of Beiming to you? And what about the Queen Mother of Lan Kingdom you mentioned last night?"

Feng Qingyue pondered for a moment, and after a moment, she whispered, "Uncle, Jun Lingyuan and I are husband and wife."

Zizhu Yingchen raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously not completely satisfied with the answer, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Feng Qingyue looked up at him and said, "As for the Queen Mother of Lan Kingdom, although I believe what you said, I need to go back and investigate thoroughly before I can give you a definite answer."

Zizhu Yingchen was silent for a moment, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and he murmured softly: "Her personality is very similar to Yingxue's."

Zizhu Yingchen looked at her with a complicated expression in his eyes. He sighed slightly, "I will temporarily stop working on the ore. As for the feud between the Zizhu and Lan families, I will give you time to investigate."

He seemed a little tired after he finished speaking, "If you need anything, just tell your uncle directly."

Feng Qingyue nodded gently after hearing this, "Uncle, thank you. I will investigate thoroughly and give you a definite answer."

She paused, then spoke solemnly, "But I have a request."

Zizhu Yingchen's eyes narrowed, obviously not expecting Feng Qingyue to make a request. "What request?"

Feng Qingyue lowered her head, her tone calm and resolute: "You will come with me. When everything is settled, you can choose to continue to stay in Lan Country, or return to Beiming with me."

Zizhu Yingchen's expression changed slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Return to Beiming? Why?"

Feng Qingyue looked at Jun Lingyuan outside the courtyard and slowly replied, "Because he hasn't been home for a long time."

Zizhu Yingchen understood who she was talking about, and her expression became slightly solemn. "Qingyue, how long have you known that Beiming kid? Do you understand him?"

Feng Qingyue's eyes became more determined, and she slowly said, "Uncle, I don't dare to say anything about others, but I know him."

She paused and continued, "However, let's not discuss this for now. First, have your men stop attacking the civilians."

Zizhu Yingchen glanced at her and looked out the door, "Qingfeng, call Ali over."

Qingfeng left in response. Not long after, Ali hurried in and asked, "Young Master, are you looking for me?"

Zizhu Yingchen nodded gently, "Tell them to stop the ore delivery as mentioned earlier, and arrange for the ore that was delivered earlier to be recovered."

"Okay, young master, I'll arrange it right away." Ali smiled and left.

Feng Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked, "Uncle, when can the antidote be delivered to those people who were poisoned earlier?"

Zizhu Yingchen smiled slightly, "There is no antidote. After removing those minerals, they will recover naturally after a period of time."

Feng Qingyue didn't quite believe it and looked him straight in the eyes. "Really? You won't lie to me?"

Zizhu Yingchen smiled slightly, "Why would your uncle lie to you?"

Feng Qingyue took a deep breath, "But you were so against it last night, how come you agreed this morning?"

A complicated expression flashed in Zizhu Yingchen's eyes. "I didn't agree to anything. I just postponed the plan."

Feng Qingyue was still confused, "Uncle, what do you mean?"

Zizhu Yingchen sighed, "The Lan family owes our Zizhu family an apology. I wanted to perish with the Lan family before, but now you are alive, I can't die. Otherwise, who will protect you?"

Feng Qingyue's mood calmed down a little. She looked at Zizhu Yingchen seriously and said, "Uncle, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give justice to the Zizhu family."

Zizhu Yingchen nodded, "Uncle believes in you."

He paused, then continued, "Didn't you say you were going back last night? Is there anyone else in town?"

Feng Qingyue nodded, "Yes, our companions are in the inn in the town at the foot of the mountain."

Zizhu Yingchen smiled and said, "I'll ask Ali and Qingfeng to pick them up. You guys just rest here and take a look at the scenery of Mingying Mountain, my uncle's mountain."

A hint of excitement flashed in Feng Qingyue's eyes, "Great! That's exactly what I want!"

Zizhu Yingchen smiled, with a hint of warmth in her eyes, as if everything was moving in a good direction.
