A faint scent of fresh wood wafted over, and Han Cuiyin couldn't help but look up at the doorway.
Luo Jingqian exerted a great deal of effort to save people tonight, and was injured in a fight with Lian Yao before returning.
His clothes were stained with blood and ash.
Han Cuiyin withdrew her gaze; indeed, few could rival the prince's beauty.
She was used to seeing people with outstanding appearances in the world of immortals, and she was stunned when she saw this face.
"Have you met your mother and two younger sisters?"
Princess Jinghe smiled, just like a grandmother seeing her grandson.
This smile is completely different from his master's.
"I've seen them. Mother and my eldest sister were frightened but have regained their senses. My second sister inhaled the poisonous fog and probably won't wake up until tomorrow or the day after."
The fire on the long street was not spontaneous combustion, but man-made.
Luo Jingqian naturally knew.
However, given the circumstances, he definitely had to save his mother and sister first.
Later, he used a rain-making technique to extinguish the fire and save many people.
Princess Jinghe was naturally aware of these matters.
"From now on, you must act within your limits and never hurt yourself again. Don't forget, you... cannot get hurt easily."
Han Cuiyin sat silently to the side, listening to Princess Jinghe's instructions, feeling as if she were being reprimanded.
"Yes, Grandmother!" Luo Jingqian's gaze remained fixed on Princess Jinghe without shifting. "You summoned Miss Yang here because of the land deed?"
“Not entirely!” Grand Princess Jinghe glanced at Han Cuiyin. “Initially, I did want to talk to Miss Yang about Qingshuang Mountain, but later Achu sent word that Miss Yang was being tormented by the Han family and begged me to save her.”
Following that, Grand Princess Jinghe continued:
“Princess Mingxia is backed by the Xu Prince’s Mansion. She doesn’t care about rumors. There isn’t a single illegitimate son in her backyard, which shows that she’s not someone to be trifled with.”
"If I hadn't sent Qingshan over, Miss Yang would have suffered a great loss tonight."
Upon hearing this, Han Cuiyin hurriedly stood up and thanked her, "I see, thank you for saving me, Grand Princess."
"How dare the Han family?"
This was something Luo Jingqian hadn't expected.
That day, when he returned from Chang Le County, he specially escorted Han Cuiyin back to her residence, thinking that this girl had had a hard life and wanted to support her.
"No! The Second Master of the Xu Prince's Mansion won a battle, and Princess Mingxia has something to rely on, which is why she is so arrogant."
Princess Jinghe, well-informed, continued:
"If Miss Yang returns to the Han residence, she will likely not fare well."
"Those whip marks on her body were inflicted by the nanny who served Princess Mingxia. If Qingshan hadn't arrived in time, who knows what cruel things the two sisters who had recently joined Princess Mingxia's side would have done."
"I helped this time, but I don't know about next time."
Upon hearing this, Luo Jingqian clenched his fists.
If he hadn't insisted on distancing himself during the day, Miss Yang wouldn't have been ambushed and had her spiritual power sealed. Now she can't even defeat two maids who know martial arts.
"I'm sorry, Miss Yang. I'll make it up to you, or perhaps Qingshan could offer—"
"Wait," Princess Jinghe hurriedly interrupted her grandson, "I have an idea, Miss Yang might as well consider it."
"Cuiyin will follow the Grand Princess's arrangements. However, Qingshuang Mountain..."
Han Cuiyin sensed that Princess Jinghe had ulterior motives and took the opportunity to bring up the matter of Qingshuang Mountain.
"Jingqian, go down and recover from your injuries. We'll let you know once we've settled things. Qingshan, take the young master back to his room."
When Princess Jinghe saw that her grandson wanted to speak up for her, she quickly sent him away.
In the flower hall, only the two of them remained.
"Miss Yang, the reason I summoned you here so urgently today is simply to discuss something. As for saving you, it was nothing more than a small favor, so please don't take it to heart."
The Grand Princess's words were very insightful, leaving Han Cuiyin in a dilemma.
In this way, it would be inconvenient for her to exchange the life-saving grace for Qing Shuang Mountain.
For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent.
"Miss Yang, do you want Qing Shuang Mountain?"
"It's a temporary loan, for fifty years."
The two didn't exchange many pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"As I said before, there is ancient ice in the Cold Pool, which was brought back by Jingqian's maternal grandfather at the cost of his life. The Cold Pool is where Jingqian was saved."
"However, since Jingqian has agreed to your request, I can't break it."
"I have one condition: if Miss Yang agrees, the land deed can be transferred to you tonight, permanently."
Sure enough, after Princess Jinghe finished speaking, Han Cuiyin came back to life, "What are the conditions?"
"As you know, Jingqian's health is not good; it's not easy to suppress when he has an attack. Otherwise, his maternal grandfather wouldn't have sought out this ten-thousand-year-old immortal ice."
"His face would break out in sores and pustules whenever he was exposed to sunlight, and only in that cold pool could the pustules be quickly suppressed."
"There are corresponding medications, but taking too much of those medications can harm one's fertility."
Does it hinder having children?
Han Cuiyin's heart skipped a beat when she heard those four words.
If it hinders the continuation of the family line, whose child is the concubine's?
It couldn't have been a concubine who got pregnant out of thin air.
If that's the case, then there must be another hidden story behind her death in her previous life.
“Miss Yang, you can have Qing Shuang Mountain, but would it be alright if he could move in there as well?”
“Jingqian spends every summer there.”
Princess Jinghe was unaware of Han Cuiyin's thoughts and was constantly advocating for her grandson.
“Okay!” Han Cuiyin readily agreed, “However, some arrangements must be made according to my requirements.”
Princess Jinghe yawned. "Alright! You two will move to Qingshuang Mountain to recuperate first thing tomorrow morning. The capital will be in chaos for a while. As for how to arrange things, you two can discuss it."
After speaking, Princess Jinghe left the flower hall to rest.
"Shiyun, have someone arrange accommodations for Miss Yang. She can go to bed here tonight."
Han Cuiyin did not sleep well that night.
The year I lived here in my previous life is still vivid in my mind.
Some memories are just blurry.
She doesn't know if it's because too much time has passed or because of the memory loss caused by her master's sealing, but there are always gaps in her memory.
Since she couldn't sleep anyway, Han Cuiyin simply got up and started thinking about Qingshuang Mountain.
She didn't care that Luo Jingqian lived there.
In the realm of immortality, it was not uncommon for men and women to cultivate in adjacent caves or within the same cave.
It's just that in this world, there's a distinction between men and women.
Both of them are cultivators, so they probably wouldn't care about such things.
The night passed just like that.
The breakfast at the Duke of Dingguo's mansion was good; she had liked it in her previous life.
At this moment, Han Cuiyin did not deliberately darken her face. She did not leave the courtyard, but used this face to eat in the house.
Some of the maids were quite amazed when they saw this face.
After they went down, they discussed it quite a bit, assuming that she was the prince's sweetheart.
These people were unaware of Han Cuiyin's identity.
Qinghe asked in a low voice through the door, "Miss Yang, we're about to leave. Are you all packed?"
"Alright! Where are my nanny and maid?"
"They're already on the carriage waiting. Now that you're all ready, we'll set off immediately."
Han Cuiyin waved her hand and put the remaining food on the table into the lotus-shaped space, then went directly into the carriage parked in the courtyard.
Upon seeing that handsome face, Han Cuiyin was furious. "What are you doing here? Where are my men?"
“They’re in the carriage behind,” Luo Jingqian said, taking out a box. “Keep this safe.”
"You can stay there, but there are some things we need to discuss properly so that it's convenient for everyone."
Han Cuiyin took the deed and felt relieved upon seeing the land deed for Qingshuang Mountain.
Luo Jingqian suggested, "Of course, why don't we talk about it on the way?"
Han Cuiyin did not refuse, but simply shifted her gaze to the carriage curtain, avoiding eye contact with him.
