Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

When Wu Ying and Leng Quan arrived at the study, they saw Ye Shangyuan sitting at his desk, writing something.

After waiting for a moment, Ye Shangyuan put down his pen, picked up the paper he had just finished writing on, and blew on it.

He looked up at Wu Ying and said, "Uncle Wu, I remember that you lived in Dongli Kingdom for a period of time when you were young."

“Your Highness, I lived in Dongli Kingdom for five years more than twenty years ago,” Wu Ying said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shangyuan nodded thoughtfully. He stood up and walked to the two of them, saying, "Uncle Wu, take a look, does this symbol look familiar?"

After saying that, Ye Shangyuan handed the token that Ye Yi had given him to Wu Ying, asking him to check the mark on it.

Reiichi also went over to take a look.

Wu Ying took the token. Because of his profession, he first weighed it in his hand to feel its texture, and then carefully examined the markings on it.

Upon seeing this, Wu Ying's eyes widened suddenly. Afraid that he had misread it, he examined it carefully again and again. He suddenly looked up at Ye Shangyuan and asked, "Where did Your Highness get the token in your hand?"

"Ye Yi found it in Mu Mu's yard. Does Uncle Wu recognize it?" Ye Shangyuan asked.

Wu Ying nodded. He thought for a moment before speaking, "I did see this kind of token when I was in Dongli Kingdom. It's been a long time, but I still remember it clearly. It's the symbol of the Jing'an Prince's Mansion in Dongli Kingdom."

Leng Quan was the first to exclaim in surprise: "What? Su Jianan, the Prince of Jing'an of Dongli Kingdom? But he... she's already..."

Hearing Wu Ying's answer, Ye Shangyuan's suspicions were confirmed.

“Indeed, it is the symbol of the Jing’an Prince’s Mansion. I once saw the marriage alliance letter sent by the Dongli Kingdom in the library, and I remember that this was the symbol that was changed on it,” Ye Shangyuan said.

Leng Quan was the most impatient. He said urgently, "The Prince of Jing'an of Dongli Kingdom has been dead for more than 20 years. How could the insignia of his royal palace still appear in my Xiyu Kingdom, or even in the courtyard of the Princess? Could it be?" He looked at Ye Shangyuan suspiciously.

Ye Shangyuan shook his head, then asked, "Uncle Wu, you also checked this token just now, so what about it?"

Knowing what Ye Shangyuan wanted to ask, Wu Ying replied, "This token is an old artifact, at least twenty years old. Moreover, I once visited the person who designed and crafted this token, so it cannot be a fake."

Ye Shangyuan's last guess was also confirmed.

His heart sank. He remained silent and slowly walked back to the chair and sat down.

Wu Ying and Leng Quan exchanged a glance, but did not interrupt Ye Shangyuan's thoughts.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Ye Shangyuan understood the reason. He suddenly called out in a cold voice, "Cold Spring."

"Your subordinate is here." Leng Quan trembled at the sudden call.

“If I’m not mistaken, Prince Jing’an, Su Jianan, must still be alive. Tell Ye San to keep a close eye on Dongli Kingdom,” Ye Shangyuan said.

"Yes." Leng Quan responded, then suddenly realized that Ye Shangyuan had said that Prince Jing'an, Su Jianan, was not dead! How could that be?

Wu Ying was also shocked by Ye Shangyuan's guess.

He asked, "Your Highness, but the Prince of Jing'an of Dongli has been dead for a long time. If he were still alive, how could there be no news of him at all?"

Wu Ying also couldn't believe that someone who had been dead for over twenty years could come back to life.

He also asked, "But I personally witnessed the burial of Prince Jing'an in Dongli Kingdom back then. The scene was grand and impressive. How could he not be dead?"

Leng Quan still trusted his lord. He asked, "Since Your Highness has said so, it's very likely that Prince Jing'an is not dead. But why is he targeting the Princess Consort?"

“Xiaoxue’s mother, Princess Shengping, does have some connections with Prince Jing’an,” Wu Ying said.

Leng Quan suddenly realized, and he slapped his thigh, saying, "That's right, that's right, I know about this too. General Mu's proposal to marry Princess Shengping caused quite a stir in the capital back then. It was also for this reason that the Duke of Zhenguo was very dissatisfied with Princess Shengping!"

Ye Shangyuan didn't want to hear these gossips, so he said directly, "Don't forget, there's an even more important reason why these people are targeting Mu Mu like this: Mu Mu is an ancient healer."

Wu Ying had never heard of Mu Xue being an ancient doctor.

He was surprised and processed the news. He asked, "When did Xiaoxue become an ancient doctor?"

Leng Quan, using his gossipy nature, immediately said, "Master Wu, have you heard of the fifth-grade pill that Treasure Pavilion auctioned off recently? That pill was made by the Xiaoxue you mentioned!"

"Xiaoxue is so amazing? She's actually an ancient healer. And she can even refine fifth-grade pills? Wow, that's incredible. She's also so skilled at designing weapons!" Wu Ying exclaimed in admiration.

Leng Quan immediately became interested and asked, "I also heard from the young marquis that the princess's weapon blueprints are very ingenious. He always praises them from time to time after he returned to the capital."

“Really, let me tell you, even a tiny part in Xiaoxue’s weapon designs can play a huge role!” Wu Ying couldn’t stop talking once he started this topic.

Seeing that the two were getting further and further off-topic, Ye Shangyuan had no choice but to interrupt, saying, "Since Uncle Wu can confirm that this token is indeed from the Jing'an Prince's Mansion, then Leng Quan, you should go and investigate the Jing'an Prince's movements thoroughly. Just investigate in the direction where he is alive."

"Uncle Wu, can you make one exactly like this token?" Ye Shangyuan then asked.

Wu Ying picked up the token and examined it carefully before speaking, "This token contains black iron and gold threads. I need to experiment a few times to determine the proportions. Just give me some time."

Ye Shangyuan also knew that to make the same token, he would indeed need to experiment with the proportions of various materials. Fortunately, Wu Ying was there, as he was an expert in this field.

"I trust Uncle Wu. This matter will remain a secret for now, and Mu Mu must not know about it," Ye Shangyuan said.

Leng Quan asked, puzzled, "Since this was something Prince Jing'an was targeting the Princess Consort with, why not tell her? That way, she could be prepared!"

“Yes, if Xiaoxue knows, she can be prepared!” Wu Ying agreed with Leng Quan’s statement.

Ye Shangyuan shook his head and said, "Based on my understanding of her, if she knew that this matter was aimed at her, she would definitely rush to Dongli Kingdom to find Prince Jing'an immediately."

He asked Leng Quan and Wu Ying, "Do you think that if we tell her all this, she won't understand the whole story? Right now, she only knows that Mo Shijie and Wang Chi are involved. If she knows that the Prince of Jing'an is also involved, she will quickly realize that they are after her identity as an ancient doctor. She will definitely use her identity as an ancient doctor to appear directly by their side, and then she will put herself in danger."

Upon hearing this, Leng Quan and Wu Ying exchanged a glance and remained silent.
