osed her eyes.However, there was no sound of fireworks exploding in my ears."Alright, Aner can open her eyes now."Night falls, shrouding the heavens and earth.The gentle moonlight shone through the cl...:

Coldness.

A bone-chilling cold spread throughout Xia Qin's body.

She had never seen such a terrifying gaze.

Like a demon staring into hell, an indescribable terror enveloped the entire body.

Huddled with the unconscious Li Ruolan, Xiaoqin trembled like chaff in the wind.

"Goodness, you're so easily frightened. This princess hasn't said she'll kill you now."

A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her eyes, but it held no warmth.

Finally.

The Qingtuan Poetry Competition ended with the Class A Ding team winning the top three spots.

Three tickets to Taichi Mountain and all travel expenses will be covered by the Tiangong Academy.

It's a good thing, but Yun Anan is very troubled.

What should Yuan Si Nian do with the Qilin Guard she gave him

"Master."

"Master."

"Master,"

In Xue Mu City, Tang Jian and Yuwen Xiu brought three Taiji Mountain passes to Yun'an's side and offered them with both hands.

"What do you mean"

What are you doing with the ticket

"If it were not for the teacher's careful guidance, we would not have been able to achieve victory."

Three tickets were placed in Yun An'an's hand. Yuwen Xiu and the others exchanged glances; they had been thinking about how to use the three tickets from the start.

After thinking it over, I'll still leave it to Yun Anan and let her take a vacation.

"You must be tired these days. Take a good rest."

"Yes, Master, please rest assured. We will study diligently and practice our swordsmanship with perseverance. We will definitely not be like some other classes."

Who Tang Jie is referring to in certain classes, everyone knows.

"Are you really going to give me the Taiji Mountain entrance tickets"

Aren't these brats going to Mount Taiji with their heads sharpened

Just take it if you want it, why hesitate so much.

Xue Qiancheng also stepped forward, putting one hand on Xue Muceng's shoulder and the other on Yuwen Xiu's shoulder. She looked at Yun An'an with disdain.

Even if we give you a day off, go out and have some fun.

Three tickets, how Yun Anan arranges them is her own business.

Although they also wanted to go to Mount Taiji, the time until their return home was getting closer and closer, so they couldn't waste any of the limited time.

"Done."

Holding three tickets, Yun An'an smiled, her smile was kind and warm.

"Since you're filial to your father, he'll take a relaxing vacation."

"I regret even remembering, I don't want to give you the ticket."

Xue Mu Cheng wore a sullen face. This woman wasn't that old, but she acted like their father every day.

The Poetry Competition of Hiking and Spring ended.

Li Ruolan and the frightened Xiaoqin left Youxian Garden surrounded by people's warm concern.

The members of Team A, who were once proud and arrogant, walked away with injuries on their bodies and faces.

On the way to Huìyì Prince's Mansion.

Qingfeng drove the carriage, Yun An'an sat in the carriage, fourteen Qilin Guards followed behind the carriage.

"Your Majesty... are you truly going to accept these Qilin Guards"

Otherwise, the money has already been spent.

Yuan Si Nian, this prodigal son, spent money without a thought, not even bothering to write her a letter. He just brazenly sent fourteen big men over.

As for Yuan Si Nian, I have no idea how he's doing now that he's gone back.

Inside the carriage, Yun An stretched out her head and looked at the white-clothed guard closest to the carriage.

"What's your name"

"To my master, I, Kui Mulang, of the Kui star constellation, answer."

Kui Xu, Kui Mulang One of the seven stars of Bai Hu in the West.

"What's your name, the tall guy over there"

Yun'an asked the tall man behind Quimu Lang.

"To my master, this humble servant, Xin Yuehu, bows to you."

Heart-Moon Fox, the heart mansion, one of the seven stars in the Eastern Azure Dragon constellation... It's a bit strange for a man to be called Heart-Moon Fox.

A brief understanding is that Yuan Si Nian assigned her two different groups of Qilin Guards: the Seven Stars of Azure Dragon and the Seven Stars of White Tiger, each with unique abilities.

In a nutshell, there's a reason why certain things are considered valuable.

When they got back to the Yi Wangfu, Bei Chen Yi also happened to get out of the car.

"I am ashamed of myself before you."

Looking at the man in front of her, dressed in a crimson purple python robe, saying that he was ashamed to her, Yun An'an was stunned.

"Who the hell flirted with you again"

"That's not true. Today is the Poetry Meeting for Spring Outings, and as a husband, I didn't arrive in time to protect An'er, causing her to be wronged."

He already knew what happened at the Chasing Green Poetry Meeting and had notified the parents of the students in Class A to discipline their children well.

"That's just child's play."

With a wave of his hand, Yun An nonchalantly dismissed it as nothing.

If she truly cared, anyone who dared to utter a word against her at the Treading Green Poetry Meeting would meet their end.

"Uncle, I remember you have a few days off in a couple of days, right"

She remembered that every official in Beichen Country had vacation time, so the Regent King should too.

"After dealing with the barbarian incursion on the border, my husband can have a five-day holiday."

"Okay, how about we go to Taichi Mountain"

She held three tickets to Taiji Mountain in her hand, trembling slightly. Hearing descriptions of Taiji Mountain from others, she was also eager to see this otherworldly place.

"Alright, wherever An'er says she wants to go, I will follow her there. Even if it means the ends of the earth."

In his eyes, in his words, everywhere you look, there is the expression of a husband's love and affection for his wife.

Beichen Yi gently embraced Yun An'an into his arms, his eyes fixed on the fourteen strangers tailing their car.

Noticing Beichen Yi's gaze, Yun An'an looked up and pointed at the fourteen Qilin Guards.

"Uncle, you must know these people's backgrounds. Stay with us, the more masters we have, the better protected we'll be."

Of course, since Master Yuan spent money on this, naturally, I must accept it on An'er's behalf.

As they spoke, the fourteen Qilin Guards distinctly felt the pressure emanating from the powerful figure.

This man is the legendary God of Death, Prince Beichen Yi, the regent of the Northern Star Kingdom.

At first sight today, you are truly exceptional.

Night, pervading the heavens and earth.

Yun An'an was cooking when Lao Wangye's figure quietly slipped in.

like a thief, looking this way and that.

"Lord Lao Wang, is there anything you need Should I report to the Lord"

Bai Shiqi watched Lao Wangye's sneaky figure.

"Goodness me! You scared the wits out of me, you nearly gave me a heart attack! Can you afford to pay for this"

Old Wang appeased his own pounding heart and glared at Bai Seventeen.

"Where is your master And Yun'er"

"Why does Old Wang pretend not to know"

The two of them are now standing just one wall away from the kitchen. The aroma of Yun An'an, that woman cooking, wafts everywhere. He doesn't believe Old Wang Ye is unaware of it.

"Humph, what's with that look I'm just asking. Go bother your king."

Before leaving, Old Master Wang told Bai Shiqi to tell Yun An'an to prepare more dishes. Tonight, they would be having dinner at Yi Wangfu.

Outside the study, fourteen Qilin Guards stood in a row. Old King looked at them with his white eyebrows furrowed, again and again.

"Bei Chen Yi, are these really the Qilin Guards"

In the study, Bei Chen Yi, who was reading a secret letter, slightly raised his deep eyes. Through the window, his gaze fell upon the fourteen people.

"That's right."

"My goodness, Yuansinian really spared no expense. One person, one hundred thousand taels of silver a year, and that's just the price for hiring the Qilin Guards."

Besides the hiring capital, you also have to factor in food and lodging expenses, medical expenses, and so on.

Bits and pieces add up, a year's worth for one Kirin Guard wouldn't be less than 150,000 silver taels.

This immediately hired fourteen people for twenty years.

He knew that Yuansinian would not easily let go of Yunan'an.

"Beichen Yi, what are you doing I want to have a serious talk with you."

Upon entering the study, Lord Lao dismissed his guards.

From today's outing poetry conference, it has been talked about until Han Ying, and the current border war.

"The Southern Border Kingdom will never give up so easily. Han Ying strongly recommends that Han Qing lead the troops to conquer them. If military power once falls into Han Qing's hands, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Old Wang let out a sigh. His greatest desire now was for Han Ying to die violently, and then to purge all the imperial relatives in Beichen Kingdom.

"When Yunyao last saw Hanye, she didn't find any signs of illness, did she"

"Yes, the Empress was poisoned, and there is no antidote."

Outside the door, Yun Anan carried a tray of dishes into the study.

"The last time I went to the palace to see the Empress Dowager, although it was just a headache, I still noticed some clues."

Upon hearing that Han Ying was poisoned and there was no antidote, Lao Wangye's expression was quite complex.

"What poison did she get"

"Poison."

"What does that mean"

Yun'an's words about the Old King were baffling. What kind of poison was it

"When the Empress Dowager was young, she fought alongside the late emperor, enduring many wounds. She relied on medication for years, and the accumulated toxins from the medicine had seeped into her bones."

But I don't know what the reason was, the poison in my body was suppressed and never erupted, perfectly balanced between the two.

"So now the Empress looks fine, she just has occasional headaches."

Yun'an an said her diagnosis.

"Then why didn't you say anything when you came back last time."

"This statement, the old master didn't ask me. If I rashly spoke it out, wouldn't that be courting death"

Yun'an looked at the old king with a face that clearly said, "I don't want to talk," leaving the old king very frustrated as he stuffed mouthful after mouthful of food into his mouth.

"Give me."

"What's giving"

Yún'ān was puzzled.

"Tickets, you have three tickets to Taiji Mountain, right Just give me one."

Mount Taiji is a great place.

The mountains and water are beautiful.

Tickets to stay at Taiji Mountain are in high demand, even he had to book a month in advance.

Just as it so happened that the matter of the Manichaean invasion had been resolved, and I found myself with nothing to do, why not take a stroll up Mount Taiji and refresh my spirits.

"One hundred and fifty thousand taels."

"You still consider yourself a human being Knowing you were in trouble at the Poetry Gathering and needed help, I was so moved that I almost rallied my entire family to vote for you. And now you're asking me for money"

Old Wang's beard exploded in anger.

This dead girl is crazy for money, asking for 150,000 taels as soon as she opens her mouth.

"No need for money, have you seen the fourteen men outside the door"

He pointed to the fourteen Qilin Guards standing guard outside his study.

"Grandpa Wang, please arrange them well for me. Tickets are free."

“You mean, I should hide the Qilin Guard for now and unleash them at a critical moment to bite people Deal.”

Without a moment's hesitation, Old Wang readily agreed.

As long as he doesn't cost 150,000 yuan, I can let him do anything.

……

The trip to Taigu Mountain is set for seven days later.

Old Wang placed the Qilin Guards in a courtyard north of the city. After arranging new identities for the fourteen, he immediately set off in his carriage for a vacation at Taiji Mountain.

Class A, Group Ding.

When Yun An'an, the esteemed professor, was teaching the foundational medical arts to the thirty-one students in Class A, Ding, the arrival of Gongsun Lang increased their number to thirty-two.

One hour studying medicine, one hour practicing martial arts.

Xue Qiancheng and his party were practicing the Yuan Family Sword Techniques in an orderly fashion.

It is still the rocking chair under the sunshine. Yun An'an and Gongsun Lang are chatting while shelling melon seeds and drinking tea, enjoying themselves.

"Yuansinian cares about you in a way that is more than ordinary."

"Well, I cured his illness. It's not a problem for me to take responsibility."

Yun'an'an thought that Gongsun Lang's concern was about Yuan Sinián hiring the Qilin Guards to protect her at a high price.

Gongsun Lang's concern is, as a man, a different kind of feeling towards a woman.

Looking at Yun An's expression, as if she were saying "My medical skills are the best in the world," Gongsun Lang's eyes held a profound smile.

This woman's eyes probably only have Beichen Yi in them.

Last night, two more groups of people came to assassinate this group of children. It seems that Xue Qiancheng and Yuwen Xiu's threats against them are growing increasingly serious.

Two batches of assassins, from the snowy kingdom and the magic kingdom, attempted an assassination. Fortunately, Yuwen Xiu's cultivation of the Yuanjia Sword Technique was quite refined, otherwise he would have been seriously injured.

"Mother."

"Want to die"

Being called "mommy" by her mother-in-law, Yun An'an truly wanted to pour a pot of hot tea on Gongsun Lang's alluring face.

"If I wanted to learn the Yuan Family Sword Techniques, would you allow it"

"Learn it, there's nothing you can't learn."

Yun An'an didn't care at all.

Xue Qiancheng and others would practice swordsmanship every day. With Gongsun Lang's talent, she was probably already familiar with the sword techniques. There was no need to ask her about it.

"Don't you really care"

"Love to learn but don't learn, don't learn and drag it out, slow and sluggish like a woman."

After being called a "slut," Gongsun Lang curled his lips in disdain.

He is now even more certain that Yun An'an has no ill intentions towards Yuan Si Nian.

It's just a pity for the Yuan family head. He poured all his efforts into teaching only those within the family the Yuan family sword techniques, and he even spent a fortune to hire the Qilin Guards to protect him.

In the end, it all amounted to nothing, just like drawing water with a bamboo basket. Yun An'an simply treated him as a brother.

Puchi~

Thinking and thinking, Gongsun Lang burst into laughter.

What are you laughing at

It's nothing, just remembered something funny.

“Sick…”

Since Gongsun Lang joined the elite Ding class, Gongsun Yan, after recovering from his illness, would often visit his grandson.

And sighed every now and then, if the grandson were healthy, he would probably be as vigorous and spirited as these young men.

In the courtyard of JiaDing Academy, Gongsun Yan touched his tears, pain welling up from within.

Yu Changyuan, standing beside Gongsun Zan, patted him on the shoulder.

"Why are you crying If your grandson is truly an idiot, Princess Yi wouldn't even bother with this kind of trouble."

Yu Changyuan is who He's the president of Youtan Academy, the head of the Yu family, the top dog among old foxes, both a thief and a dog.

Although he wasn't sure at first, through his observations over time, he was able to determine one thing.

Gongsun Lang pretended to be crazy and stupid, and conspired with Yun An'an.

"What does it mean"

Gongsun Zan looked at Sun Er, who was grinning foolishly.

Yu Changyuan, with his hands behind his back and a half-smile in his eyes, said something to Gongsun Yan that seemed to be understood but not fully grasped.

"Do you really think the Princess Consort of Yi is a woman with a compassionate heart like a Bodhisattva"

Anyone could be.

But Yun An'an was definitely not.

This woman's heart, if peeled open, would gleam black.

"Help!!!"

"Ah!!! Help! Ghosts!!!"

"What is this, help me, help me!!!"

At this time, shouts echoed in the ears of the crowd.g arrived at the Yiwang Mansion, he was already waiting at the gate. He didn't even flinch at the guards of the Yiwang Mansion who wanted to dismember him a thousand times over."An An.""..."He took a...
