Even women who travel through time can become prime ministers and nobles.

It was autumn, and late summer had arrived at the legendary Eastern Great Lake—Hubei Province. The scene before me was breathtaking. This former Yunmeng Marsh, despite the passage of time, had not disappeared and still displayed its magnificent beauty.

Driving along the lake, you can feel the rising steam, as if the entire Yunmeng Marsh is enveloped in heat. The lake surface glistens, and a gentle breeze stirs up ripples, creating a dreamlike scene. In the distance, Yueyang City appears even more majestic and magnificent against the backdrop of the water.

The power of the lake was also astonishing, its surging waves shaking the very foundations of Yueyang City. The surging waves crashed against the shore, creating a deafening roar, as if telling people about its history and stories.

Immersed in this beautiful scenery, one can feel the charm of nature. This Yunmeng Marsh is not only a beautiful landscape, but also a witness to history. It has witnessed countless rises and falls and changes, carrying people's memories and emotions.

At that moment, she couldn't help but recall the poem: "The mist rises from the Yunmeng Marsh, the waves shake Yueyang City." The scene before her was a vivid depiction of that poem. She felt fortunate to have witnessed this spectacle and hoped that this beautiful lake could be preserved forever, leaving behind many wonderful memories for future generations.

Shi Wanxia gently lifted the carriage curtain, her gaze falling upon the vast, boundless lake outside the window. The lake water shimmered under the sunlight, stretching as far as the eye could see, seemingly merging with the sky. Along the lakeshore, mounds and hills were scattered in a pleasing, rhythmic pattern, adding undulation and variation to the landscape.

Various trees grow along the lake shore, lush and verdant, forming a green barrier. Some of these trees are tall and straight, with canopies like umbrellas, providing shade for people; while others are short and dense, their branches and leaves intertwined, like a green carpet woven by nature.

As you cruise along the lake, you can see wooden houses and fishing boats. The houses are scattered along the shore in a pleasing, orderly fashion, creating a tranquil and cozy atmosphere. On the fishing boats, fishermen are busy at work, casting nets, mending nets, or tidying up their fishing gear. These fishing boats are not only their means of livelihood but also a unique feature of the lake.

Shi Wanxia quietly admired everything, her heart filled with awe and praise for nature. She felt the cool breeze on her face, listened to the birdsong and the ripples of the lake, as if she had become one with nature. At this moment, she forgot all her worries and fatigue, only enjoying the pleasure and relaxation brought by this tranquil and beautiful scenery.

Shen Yanchu had no interest in appreciating the scenery along the way. He was getting fed up with carrying Lu Zeyu on his back. This man was too illogical; how could a man like him fall in love with another man? He simply couldn't accept it, so he left Lu Zeyu in Qin Xin's and the others' care.

Cui Yu'an covered her mouth and chuckled. Shen Yanchu's unwanted romantic advances were quite interesting, like a scene from a romance novel where a hero saves a beauty. It was a pity that it was a man; if it were a woman, would this guy be so troubled?

"Oh dear, don't be angry. Just looking at Young Master Lu's face, he's quite a delicate and charming beauty." Cui Yu'an playfully bumped his shoulder, looking like he was watching a show. Shen Yanchu glared at him and turned away, too lazy to pay him any attention.

"You're in the mood to joke with me, but have you managed to contact the person I asked you to? The eldest daughter of the Langya Wang family has been betrothed to you since childhood. Didn't you manage to contact her a few days ago?"

Shen Yanchu was deeply displeased, fully aware of Cui Yu'an's desire to see him make a fool of himself. His only thought was to reach Yunmengze as quickly as possible to detoxify, and then return to Cangling Kingdom under the escort of his own people. As for Li Changyu, he would leave him to his own devices then.

Throughout the journey, Shen Yanchu remained silent, his face grim. He glanced at Cui Yu'an every now and then, inwardly seething with anger. Cui Yu'an, on the other hand, wore a smug expression and would occasionally utter sarcastic remarks, attempting to provoke Shen Yanchu.

Shen Yanchu didn't even glance at him, gazing at the scenery outside the carriage. The boy's mouth never stopped; the carriage was filled with his incessant chatter.

The Yunmeng Marshland is vast and boundless, resembling an endless ocean. A large convoy has been slowly traveling through this marshland for almost ten days, yet it has still not reached its destination.

Finally, after a long journey, they arrived at Yunping Town. It was a typical southern town, with a completely different appearance from towns in the north.

The town's streets are narrow and winding, lined with quaint buildings whose walls are covered in green vines. The air is thick with humidity and the faint scent of cooking fires.

The food here is quite different from that in the north, mainly spicy. For Shen Yanchu and his companions, this was a completely new experience. When they first tasted the spiciness, they were shocked by the intense stimulation, as if a flame was burning in their mouths. However, as time went by, they gradually adapted to this unique flavor and even began to enjoy its stimulation and deliciousness.

During their time in Yunping Town, Shen Yanchu and his companions sampled a variety of spicy dishes. They discovered that the locals not only skillfully used chili peppers but also cleverly combined them with various ingredients to create a rich and diverse range of flavors.

Beyond the delicious food, Yunping Town has many other things to explore. They strolled through the town's streets and alleys, experiencing the unique charm of southern China. The pace of life here is slow, leisurely, and carefree. They interacted with the locals, learning about their way of life and cultural traditions.

During their time in Yunping Town, Shen Yanchu and his companions spent an unforgettable period. They not only enjoyed delicious food but also experienced the unique charm of this southern town.

"Miss Shi, please wait for us at the inn. Young Master Cui and I are going into the mountains to find the antidote. This medicine is only available here. Please rest assured and wait for us to return at the inn." Shen Yanchu was a little worried. Yesterday, Wenzhu's guards had already found this place. More than 30 people were all drawn from Wang's collateral branches. Fortunately, they were all Wang's confidants.

Upon hearing this, Shi Wanxia looked up at the two of them in surprise. Thinking that her injuries had healed, and since they were going to look for the antidote, she decided to take a good stroll around the town.

"Alright, then Brother Shen, Young Master Cui, please be careful on your journey. By the way, does Brother Li want to come with you?"

"He doesn't need it. Young Master Lu also has martial arts skills, so we can take him with us on this trip. You all wait for us to return at the inn. Yunping Town is a major thoroughfare in the country, and it's home to many high-ranking officials, nobles, and martial arts practitioners. Be careful. Wait for us to return."

Shen Yanchu was a little worried, after all, this girl was not a quiet person, and he was worried that she would be targeted and framed again, just like in Licheng.

"Don't worry, Brother Shen! We'll be careful and won't cause any trouble. You should set off now! We'll wait for you to come back."

Shen Yanchu was still uneasy, but there was nothing he could do. If he didn't get the antidote soon, his martial arts skills would never recover, and his life would be in danger. With a long sigh, he led Cui Yu'an to the legendary Cloud Mist Mountain.
