In the villa, Feng Qingyue, a scientific researcher from modern times, is immersed in the research and exploration of new things every day.

During Feng Qingyue's daily conversations with Ling Yuxiao, he could see her curiosity and interest in research. She would discuss the underlying principles behind seemingly ordinary things, and these unique insights, coming from a woman like her, filled Ling Yuxiao with doubts.

In Ling Yuxiao's opinion, most women were interested in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, and embroidery. It was rare to find a woman like Feng Qingyue who was interested in the tools in the workshop, the herbs in the medicine garden, and the ancient books in the library.

However, although Ling Yuxiao had doubts, he did not stop her. On the contrary, he was very tolerant and ordered his men to take Feng Qingyue to the workshop in the village.

When Feng Qingyue stepped into the workshop, her eyes sparkled with excitement. The place was filled with busy craftsmen, and various tools and unfinished works were displayed overflowing.

Feng Qingyue wandered curiously through the workshop, carefully observing the oddly shaped molds and the tools being crafted. The craftsmen cast curious glances at her, but upon realizing she was a guest brought by the owner, they allowed her to observe.

Feng Qingyue felt as if she had found a treasure in the library. The ancient scrolls exuded a faint scent of ink, as if telling of a long history.

She wandered among the bookshelves, her fingers lightly brushing over volumes of ancient books. The knowledge contained in them covered various aspects such as astronomy and geography, Qimen Dunjia, medicine and pharmacology.

Feng Qingyue read eagerly, occasionally frowning and falling into deep thought, and occasionally smiling with surprise because of new discoveries.

Ling Yuxiao would sometimes come to see her in his free time. Seeing Feng Qingyue so focused, the doubts in his heart were gradually replaced by a different kind of emotion.

He began to look forward to Feng Qingyue sharing with him those strange yet interesting discoveries after her research.

But in the palace, Jun Lingyuan was busy and exhausted.

On the one hand, he had to deal with the complicated situation in the court and track down the mastermind behind the assassination, while on the other hand he was anxiously looking for Feng Qingyue.

The ministers in the court are fighting openly and secretly, and Jun Lingyuan must carefully balance the forces of all parties, while also preventing the forces behind the assassination from attacking again.

Jun Lingyuan's study was filled with intelligence and files. He sat at the desk for a long time, his eyes red from staying up late.

He carefully combed through every clue, not missing any trace.

"Qingyue, where are you?" Jun Lingyuan's heart was full of worry and longing. He knew that the longer he couldn't find her, the more danger she would be in.

The secret guards searched tirelessly for Feng Qingyue's whereabouts inside and outside the capital, but every piece of news they received disappointed Jun Lingyuan.

Jun Lingyuan felt a deep sense of powerlessness, but he did not give up. He still firmly followed Feng Qingyue's whereabouts and at the same time dug deep into the truth behind the assassination.

At night, Feng Qingyue was in her room in the manor, recording her day's gains on paper by candlelight.

She was so absorbed in the study of ancient knowledge that she almost forgot her modern identity and the fact that she had traveled back to the modern era.

Jun Lingyuan was alone in the bedroom of the imperial palace, facing the bright moon. Feng Qingyue's figure kept appearing in his mind, and his longing for her drowned him like a surging tide.

A few days later, Feng Qingyue felt that her injuries had almost healed. Although she was reluctant to leave the various ancient technologies here that she wanted to study, she still packed her luggage and prepared to set off on the journey back to Beijing.

At the same time, Ling Yuxiao also received an urgent matter in the capital, which required him to go there in person to deal with it.

So the two of them set out together on the road to the capital.

Along the way, Feng Qingyue and Ling Yuxiao had a great conversation. Feng Qingyue told him about her various wonderful experiences in modern times, and Ling Yuxiao shared some interesting stories about the martial arts world.

The relationship between the two became closer unknowingly.

However, they didn't know that a huge conspiracy was waiting for them...

After the two arrived at the inn, Ling Yuxiao had urgent business to attend to in the capital, so he settled down briefly and then went out to do his business.

Feng Qingyue was alone in the room, looking at the bustling streets of the capital outside the window, feeling increasingly depressed.

She was troubled by her lost memory and anxious about not being able to return to the general's mansion.

Finally, she decided to go out for a walk, perhaps to make her feel better.

She walked slowly along the street, and the bustling scene of the capital seemed out of place to her.

Suddenly, a burst of noise and sounds of beating and scolding reached her ears.

She walked quickly in the direction of the sound and saw several men who looked like evil servants surrounding a woman and beating her.

The woman was covered in bruises, but she just bit her lips stubbornly and didn't utter a word to beg for mercy.

Feng Qingyue was filled with rage. She shouted, "What are you doing? How dare you commit such a crime in broad daylight!"

The wicked servants stopped and turned around. Seeing that it was a lone woman, they said disdainfully, "We're teaching our own maid a lesson. What's it to you? If you know what's good for you, get out of here!"

Feng Qingyue sneered, "My own maid? How could you beat her to death like this? Do you still have any respect for the law?"

The evil servants were enraged and angry, and one of them rushed towards Feng Qingyue, cursing at her.

Although Feng Qingyue is a scientific researcher, she learned some self-defense skills from her father.

She dodged to the side, then gave a push, and the evil servant fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the other evil servants rushed forward.

Feng Qingyue responded calmly and used the skills she had learned to deal with them.

In a short while, several evil servants were beaten to the ground by Feng Qingyue.

Seeing that the situation was not good, they got up and ran away in shame.

Feng Qingyue then turned around to check the woman's injuries.

The woman raised her head and looked at Feng Qingyue gratefully, saying, "Thank you for saving me, young lady. I am Su Jin. I woke up in the Su residence. They said that I was originally a maid in the Su residence, but because I refused to obey the unreasonable demands of that evil young man, they framed me and chased me here."

Feng Qingyue supported Su Jin with a distressed look and said, "You are so badly injured, I will take you back to the inn to heal first."

Su Jin hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Feng Qingyue brought Su Jin back to the inn, asked the waiter for some hot water and medicine, and began to treat Su Jin's wounds.

While treating the wounds, Feng Qingyue discovered that Su Jin had many old wounds on her body. It seemed that she had a very difficult life in the Su Mansion.

Su Jin looked at Feng Qingyue, his eyes full of gratitude: "Miss, you are such a good person. I thought I would die today, but I didn't expect to meet you."

Feng Qingyue sighed softly, "How can this world tolerate such evil deeds by them? You should rest here and recuperate first. We can make plans after you are well."

At this time, Ling Yuxiao returned to the inn after finishing his business. He was surprised to see a strange woman in Feng Qingyue's room.

Feng Qingyue told him what had happened, and Ling Yuxiao admired Feng Qingyue's kindness.

"Thank you, sir and young lady. I have no way to repay you. If you don't mind, I would like to stay by your side and serve you after my injury heals." Su Jin knelt down and kowtowed.

Feng Qingyue hurriedly helped him up and said, "It's just a simple favor, don't worry about it. You should go home early."

However, Su Jin insisted on staying and said that he had nowhere else to go.

Seeing her firm attitude, Feng Qingyue had no choice but to agree to let her stay for a while.
