The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

Ping'an Lane.

As the sun gradually shifted away, the autumn sunlight streamed into the room, making the whole place warm and cozy.

If Gao Xiaolan hadn't come and knocked on the door, Han Cuiyin would probably still be lingering in her warm bed.

She struggled to crawl out of bed, muttering under her breath, "Why is he here so early?"

"It's getting late. The Marquis has been waiting for almost two hours. It's almost noon." Gao Xiaolan stepped forward to help him get dressed. "You have such dark circles under your eyes. Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Logically, that thin booklet should have been beneficial to women, but Han Cuiyin never thought of practicing it.

She only gave out two booklets, one to Daya and one to Liu Min.

These were given to her by Qingyun.

The two of them ventured into the secret realm together. Qingyun noticed that she was living too haphazardly and insisted on giving it to her.

At that time, Qingyun had promised that if it didn't work well, she could hold her accountable.

Han Cuiyin accepted the gift but did not practice it.

That thin booklet contained only some extremely basic techniques of the Hehuan Sect, but it was not easily passed on to outsiders, only to a select few close friends and family.

However, as a Buddhist practitioner, even though she was a disciple of her master and practiced with her hair still intact, she was an exception to the usual indifference of the people around her.

When she met Qingyun again later, she forced these booklets back on her.

The few booklets lying in the lotus-shaped space were a complete surprise.

Qingyun genuinely wanted to give her this lotus seedpod; everything inside was something she could use, and there were no other people's belongings inside.

Aside from the few blood-stained clothes that suddenly appeared, she had no idea where they came from.

“Miss, the Marquis said he has something to tell you. If it weren’t for Granny Chu asking him, he probably wouldn’t have called you until dark.” After Gao Xiaolan finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Han Cuiyin’s expression.

As she spoke, she held two damp cloths in her hands, one still steaming and the other soaked in ordinary cold water, and she applied them alternately to her daughter's eyes.

The hot-then-cold treatment greatly relieved Han Cuiyin's eye discomfort.

Han Cuiyin seemed much more energetic before asking, "Did you say anything?"

"No!" Gao Xiaolan quickly tidied her up. "I'll go fetch them. Would you like to eat first?"

Han Cuiyin lazily instructed, "Alright, also give the Marquis a set of chopsticks and a bowl."

With Liu Min's situation resolved and her ability to keep Emperor Chu Yuan in check, as long as it doesn't involve issuing an imperial edict, no one can do anything to her.

This "others" includes not only Han Zhen's family, but also people like Mo Changdao.

Han Cuiyin knew that her abilities had been exposed, and some people dared not act rashly, simply because they did not know her true strength.

She is different from those in Konoha who attain enlightenment through martial arts, and since she has no sect to rely on, her legacy naturally attracts covetousness.

Back in the Realm of Immortality, it wasn't that no one had tried to take advantage of her; it's just that those who did were all successfully killed by her.

Her strength is currently low; she hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, so it's not time for her to act with impunity.

As Qingyun often says, one should be willing to compromise when necessary.

"Miss, the food is set out in the pavilion outside. Please move over there; the Marquis is already waiting." This time it was Granny Chu who came over. When she saw that she hadn't put on any disguise, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

The Marquis still has a chance.

After Han Cuiyin arrived, she lazily greeted Luo Jingqian, sat down, and began to eat heartily.

She didn't eat much at the palace banquet. Last night, after returning from the palace, she was busy watching the excitement through the light screen and didn't bother anyone to make her a midnight snack.

I've eaten everything since yesterday afternoon and am starving.

"And this too!" Luo Jingqian took out fried small silver fish wrapped in oil paper from his storage bag. "I had it specially made this morning."

The two ate at the same table without speaking. Luo Jingqian would occasionally put some of Han Cuiyin's favorite dishes on her plate, and the only sound was her chewing.

Previously, Granny Chu had tried to prevent the two from interacting with each other by advocating for strict separation between men and women, but somehow she came to her senses and stopped lecturing them.

She winked at Gao Xiaolan and then pulled Qingshan down with her.

"Qingshan, let's go to the kitchen and get something to eat. We don't need to stay here."

Gao Xiaolan chuckled and grabbed Qingshan's arm, not noticing his ears that were burning red.

"Oh, I'm full! There's nothing more appealing in life than delicious food." Han Cuiyin didn't care much about her manners in front of Luo Jingqian and stretched.

Luo Jingqian didn't speak, but his heart was in turmoil. What was even more attractive was your beauty.

"Jingqian, you're here so early this morning. What's up? We're not leaving until tomorrow, why didn't you stay home to pack?"

Han Cuiyin called out "Jingqian" so frankly, believing she had let go of the things from her past life and was completely open and honest.

“My mother is going too, why don’t we go back to Changxing County together? Didn’t you say yesterday that your great-uncle had already gone to the central area of ​​the Pinglian Mountains? Your uncle’s safety should be assured.”

Yesterday at Mingyue Terrace, Han Cuiyin suddenly received a telepathic message from Zhao Feilan, which made her relax. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been in the mood to watch other people's commotion after returning to Ping'an Lane that night.

The situation in the Pinglian Mountains is not easy to resolve in the short term; in short, it cannot be rushed.

However, communication was inconvenient there, and the only way to rescue the two trapped people was from the outside.

Fortunately, Zhao Feilan had brought enough supplies, so Yan Dali's life was spared for the time being, and he can recover slowly when he returns.

The two were trapped there with food and water, so they didn't need to worry too much.

Luo Jingqian waited expectantly for Han Cuiyin's reply, "Of course, if you don't want to come along, that's fine too, we—"

Avoiding the scorching gaze, Han Cuiyin quickly replied, "We can go together! I'll go back to Xiajing'ao in the next couple of days and bring Hongshan with me. She comes from the Pinglian Mountains and knows the area well; she'll be a help."

"Okay!" Luo Jingqian didn't say anything more, not daring to push too hard.

This is the person he cherishes deeply, and no one can replace her.

At this moment, Han Cuiyin was unaware that she was Luo Jingqian's unforgettable white moonlight. Instead, she talked to Luo Jingqian about what happened yesterday.

"His Majesty has taken the elixir and is much stronger than before. There may be many little princes born in the palace in the future, which will probably make things quite lively!"

After finishing her business, Han Cuiyin was eager to share what she had heard the night before, and Luo Jingqian became the lucky one.

Upon hearing this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his next words made Han Cuiyin overjoyed.

"It's really going to be lively. Consort Rui gave birth to a prince last night and has been promoted to Imperial Concubine Rui."

"The eldest prince was spying on the emperor's whereabouts and was imprisoned in Taiwu. He will only be released on the wedding day."

"The palace is holding a minor selection, and daughters of minor officials can also participate. Today, a palace maid went to the Liu family to deliver the imperial decree. The Liu family members are currently officials as well..."

Han Cuiyin grabbed a handful of the newly placed dried fruit on the table, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

She never expected that things would turn out so interestingly, and that Liu Min might actually become a favored concubine.
