Ye Junyang waved his hand, "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Murong Xiao asked seriously, "What's going on?"

"I went to the Right Prime Minister's residence to investigate what you told me before." Ye Junyang glanced at Murong Xiao and continued, "I didn't expect the old man from the Qin family to be so powerful. I was discovered as soon as I got close to his door. During my escape, I was caught up and fought with him, and I took a palm strike."

Murong Xiao was somewhat surprised, "He didn't absorb your internal energy?"

Ye Junyang took the healing pills handed to him by Mo Nan, swallowed them, and replied, "He wanted to, but someone interrupted him."

Murong Xiao felt a surge of relief. "Who helped you?"

Ye Junyang shook his head. "I don't know. It was an old woman with a hoarse, aged voice. With her help, I was spared a tool to escape."

Upon hearing this, Murong Xiao thought, "Why does this sound so familiar? Could it be that my little princess has sneaked out again?"

Ye Junyang noticed Murong Xiao's unusual behavior. "Do you know who it is?"

Murong Xiao shook his head, somewhat speechless. "I don't have clairvoyance, nor do I know fortune telling, so how would I know?"

Ye Junyang thought about it and agreed. This man used to be sickly and rarely went out at night. Then he said, "But I found that old man Qin wasn't as powerful as you said."

"Oh?" Murong Xiao was quite surprised; this guy's martial arts and spiritual power had actually become so formidable.

Ye Junyang explained, "When I was running away, I glanced back and saw that his breathing was already a bit unstable. He must have had an old injury and his strength couldn't sustain a long fight."

Murong Xiao said regretfully, "That night, we missed the best opportunity to catch them red-handed. Now we can only look for another opportunity to find evidence and catch them red-handed."

Ye Junyang didn't feel any regret. "If he really used people's spiritual power to cultivate demonic arts, then he will definitely make a move again. We just need to wait for the right opportunity."

Murong Xiao nodded and asked curiously, "Your kung fu has improved a lot."

Upon hearing this, Ye Junyang's face showed some sadness. "My master has passed away."

Murong Xiao was shocked. "When did this happen? Why haven't I heard about it?"

Ye Junyang shook his head. "It's been about half a year. He knew his time was coming to an end, so he came to me. He purified his internal energy and spiritual power and transferred it to me. He told me not to make a fuss and asked me to prepare his favorite food for him. After he finished eating, he passed away peacefully."

"Then, didn't he go back to Jade Immortal Mountain?" Murong Xiao asked, after all, that was his home.

Ye Junyang paused for a moment, then said, "No, my master said that Jade Immortal Mountain had completely changed more than ten years ago and was no longer the Jade Immortal Mountain it once was. He asked me to scatter his ashes at the border of the three kingdoms, hoping to see the people of the three kingdoms live peaceful and happy lives."

Of course, the master's original words were that at the border of the three kingdoms, after death, one could go to whichever country's food one wanted to eat, and arrive in just one step.

Murong Xiao comforted him, "Master Fanchen yearns for freedom and peace, and he will surely protect everyone's safety."

Ye Junyang looked at the night sky outside, "I hope so." He had both respect and helplessness towards his master.

"By the way, I will be leaving Yandu City for a few days. Keep an eye on what's happening in Yandu City, especially with the Empress Dowager and the Liu family."

Murong Xiao nodded.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Junyang finished giving his instructions and rushed home.

Qin Wanyou also secretly returned to the Prince's Mansion.

The next day, the Right Prime Minister's residence sent an invitation to the Prince's residence.

Qin Wanyou was actually optional about marrying her second wife.

Qin Wanyou thought about it and originally planned not to attend, but to just send a gift to disgust Li Shi.

However, Murong Xiao saw the invitation and immediately ordered the steward to prepare gifts, saying he wanted to go and see.

Qin Wanyou never expected that Murong Xiao would love watching a spectacle so much.

If you want to go, then go.

Before you know it, time has flown by, and it's time for Prime Minister Qin to get married.

Although Prime Minister Qin and his wife embarrassed themselves at the Double Ninth Festival banquet a few days ago, Prime Minister Qin still held power, and many people still attended his wedding banquet.

When Qin Wanyou and Murong Xiao's carriage arrived at the gate of the Right Prime Minister's residence, the gate was already bustling with activity.

As soon as the steward saw the carriage from the Prince An's residence, he immediately came forward to greet them, saying, "Greetings, Prince An and Princess An."

Murong Xiao stepped out of the carriage first, then reached out to Qin Wanyou.

In front of outsiders, Qin Wanyou always gave Murong Xiao face.

The two got off the carriage and glanced around casually, but did not see Prime Minister Qin and Lady Li.

The steward was quick to explain, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please come in. The Prime Minister has gone to fetch the bride. The time for the wedding ceremony is approaching, and he should be back soon."

Murong Xiao nodded first, then led Qin Wanyou into the Right Prime Minister's residence.

Back at Qingzhu Courtyard, Mo Ying went to inquire and found out that Li Shi had only returned to the mansion today.

At first, Li was unwilling to return and insisted that Prime Minister Qin personally apologize and beg her to come back.

Prime Minister Qin now dislikes Li Shi intensely, and with Old Madam Qin adding fuel to the fire, he was so angry that he ordered the messenger to go again. He warned that if Li Shi didn't return, they should expect a letter of divorce.

These words infuriated Qin Li Shi to the point of fainting.

The Ministry of Personnel had its reservations about Li's previous actions, but since Li was someone from the Ministry of Personnel, they had to side with their own people despite their dissatisfaction. Besides, the Li family couldn't afford to become enemies with the Right Chancellor's residence.

Finally, the Consort Xian was asked to intervene, and the old Minister also spoke with Prime Minister Qin. In the end, Li was able to regain half of the management rights of the Right Prime Minister's residence.

As for the apology demanded by the Li family, Prime Minister Qin naturally refused. An apology was out of the question; he could do whatever he wanted, whether they wanted to reply or not.

Despite being half persuaded and half threatened by her family, Li could only return to the Right Prime Minister's residence alone on the day of Qin Xiang's wedding.

When Li Shi heard the head maid come in and report that Qin Wanyou had returned to the manor, but went straight back to Qingzhu Courtyard, she was in her room.

Upon hearing that Qin Wanyou had returned at such a time and hadn't come to see her, Li's first reaction was to give her a good scolding.

As soon as I stepped outside, I heard the joyous sounds of gongs and drums, and I remembered my parents' and brother's warnings. Reluctantly, I went to the front hall to watch the wedding ceremony.

Qin Wanyou returned to Qingzhu Courtyard but did not go to watch the wedding ceremony. Murong Xiao said he was going out to take a look, but no one knows where he went.

A servant has already come to invite them, saying that Prime Minister Qin is ready to hold the wedding ceremony and begin the banquet.

Qin Wanyou gave a perfunctory reply and arrived shortly after.

But soon after, someone else came to invite him.

Qin Wanyou could only say that Murong Xiao was feeling unwell and needed to rest for a while, and that they didn't need to wait for them.

Shortly after the servants left, the steward was seen leading the doctor toward Qingzhu Courtyard.

Just as Qin Wanyou was about to go out to refuse, she saw Murong Xiao, dressed as a servant, flash into the room.

He asked in surprise, "You..."

Before she could ask any further questions, Murong Xiao said, "Please go and greet them first, Your Highness. I'll be out in a moment."

Qin Wanyou nodded and went out.

The steward said, "Second Miss, we heard that His Highness is unwell. Master specially sent someone to invite a doctor to take a look. I wonder how His Highness is now?"

Qin Wanyou said indifferently, "His Highness is fine, it's just an old ailment, he'll be alright after a rest."

The steward continued, "For the prince's safety, we should have the doctor examine him."

At this moment, Murong Xiao came out of the room and said, "I'm fine now, let's go."

Seeing this, the butler had no choice but to give up.

The two made an appearance at the banquet, and then someone from the Prince's residence came to report that someone from the palace had come to invite the Prince to the palace.

The two left in a hurry, and Prime Minister Qin naturally dared not stop them.

However, the appearance of the two made Prime Minister Qin feel proud.

After Qin Wanyou and Murong Xiao left the Right Prime Minister's residence, they parted ways. Murong Xiao went to the palace, while Qin Wanyou returned to the Prince's residence.

Upon returning to the Prince's residence, Qin Wanyou asked the steward, "Has Shuangling returned to the residence?"

The butler shook his head. "Not yet."

Qin Wanyou was a little worried. Shuangling's home wasn't far away, so why hadn't she returned yet?

Wait a little longer. If they don't come back by tomorrow, send someone to look for them.

Things always happen so coincidentally; what you wish for comes true.

That evening, Shuangling returned to the palace, exhausted.

Upon arriving in front of Qin Wanyou, he nervously said, "Miss, I've made a new discovery."
