Chapter 178 The Divine Artifact
Chapter 178 The Divine Artifact
Yuan Yi was busy until midnight before he returned to the inn. Mu Nanyan was worried and waited at the door. Only after she got the news did she go to bed and sleep until noon the next day.
After a night and a morning of investigation, the brothel was now just an empty shell. Except for the house, the remaining jewels, money, and beauties were all taken away by Mu Nanyue, and the girls were also transported out of the city at night. Even if they wanted to check, they couldn't find anything on them.
To be on the safe side, they moved to a new inn and of course their faces were changed.
When Mu Nanyan arrived at the new place, she looked at it from inside to outside. It was indeed a cold place. The furs were all top-quality. Jun Zhuoyuan walked closer to her and said, "Yanyan, do you like it? Then let's take more back when we leave. The ones here are always better than those at home."
Mu Nanyan would never refuse such a good thing, "Then let Wushuang and the others go and pick some. They probably can't send them away today as it's too messy here. It's better for us to stay for a few more days and take a rest." It's not too much to take a holiday after working for so long!
She is not a person who loves work and just likes to enjoy herself when she has nothing to do. Of course, she will also save people and do good deeds.
"Of course." It was exactly what he wanted. If they returned to Kyoto, Yanyan would always have to go back to the Mu Mansion. They couldn't see each other during the day. The old man always exploited him. Yanyan was also busy, and the two of them could only meet a few times a day. If they were outside, no one could stop them from enjoying their own world.
Mu Nanyan leaned against the window, stretched out her hand to catch the snowflakes, "Jun Zhuoyuan, have you met the Su family?"
"I have seen them." Some of them grew up together.
"What kind of people are they? Su...what kind of person is my mother?" Mu Nanyan was purely curious. Since the original owner was not Mu Xiwen's biological daughter, why did the eldest daughter of the Su family marry Mu Xiwen?
Jun Zhuoyuan handed her a hand warmer. "Your mother was the most talented woman in Kyoto. She was gentle and beautiful. She often went to the palace to accompany the queen mother. Her voice was also soft, but her words... well... it's hard to describe. She... hey! You will know when the queen mother tells you about it. I can never express this feeling in words."
"What about the rest?"
Jun Zhuoyuan thought for a moment and said, "Your uncles have made great achievements in the court, and your brothers are also famous at a young age. Even if the Su family does not work in the Imperial Hospital, everyone knows medical skills. According to your mother, only the most talented people in the Su family can truly inherit the inheritance, and the rest can find their own way."
Mu Nanyan also didn't expect the Su family to be so casual. A big family actually has no restrictions. Most families have expectations for their children to become a certain way, but the Su family is in a free-range state.
Jun Zhuoyuan asked: "Yan Yan doesn't want to know why the Su family was exiled?"
Mu Nanyan shook her head. "You don't need to know. There are always reasons why it's better not to pry. I don't care. I'm just asking out of curiosity today."
Jun Zhuoyuan felt that she was homesick. He didn't know the specific reason why the Su family exiled her. He only knew that it was a deal made by the head of the Su family and the old man. The Su Mansion was emptied after only one day of exile. It seemed that they had prepared in advance. It was said that they took Su Jinrou with them when they left. He didn't understand why they could take Su Jinrou away but not Yanyan. Maybe she was left for him to protect. It felt good to think so.
Mu Nanyan closed the window and said, "It's a bit cold. I'll give you acupuncture earlier today to make you feel better."
Jun Zhuoyuan obediently moved to the bed, "Yan Yan, do you want to see them?"
Mu Nanyan paused with the needle in her hand. Do you want to meet him? She seemed a little curious, but she felt that the desire to meet him came from the original owner. She probably had seen him before, but she didn't know who it was. In this way, the original owner's death was not too tragic.
"It depends on fate. It's okay to meet or not to meet."
After giving the acupuncture, Mu Nanyan sat back on the bed. For Jun Zhuoyuan's sake, she lowered the curtains and opened the window a little. Mu Nanyan looked up and saw light snow falling with the wind. She missed everyone. She hadn't seen them for a long time. She didn't know how they were doing and whether they were as lucky as her. The space was still unresponsive. Every time she went in, she felt anxious and empty.
Jun Zhuoyuan listened for a long time. It was quiet outside. She obviously didn't go out, but why did he feel empty? "Yan Yan, can we go home together?"
Mu Nanyan sighed. How afraid was he that she would run away? Did she scare him? He had become even more clingy since their last chat. "Okay, we'll leave when the snow stops."
"It's almost done, it's almost stopped. I'll ask Yuanyi to prepare and buy a few more blankets as it's cold." Jun Zhuoyuan was calculating. Mu Nanyan was fiddling with the teacup absentmindedly. Wushuang and Yuansi were running around outside. Wushuang was responsible for taking out the money, Yuansi was responsible for holding it, and Yuanyi was guarding the two people's door. All the girls in the brothel had been sent out safely, so it was considered a good thing. There were still a few girls who wanted to commit suicide on the way and he persuaded them to stop.
When the time came, Mu Nanyan removed the needle from him. Thinking that nothing interesting happened today, she felt unhappy. "Jun Zhuoyuan, let's go to the palace and take a look."
Jun Zhuoyuan nodded, "That's exactly what I meant. I want to take my sister's tablet back with me."
Imperial sister? Jun Zhuoyuan saw her stunned look and smiled slightly, "Yan Yan, this is my eldest imperial sister. She married to Beihan ten years ago. Five years ago, she sent back news that she died of illness. I don't believe it. The war two years ago caught them off guard. My imperial sister must have been assassinated."
Mu Nanyan took his hand. It seemed that this princess had a profound influence on Jun Zhuoyuan. "Let's go get it now."
Mu Nanyan changed her clothes and pushed Jun Zhuoyuan to the palace. Xing Muche was sitting in the middle of the main hall of Beihan Kingdom at this time, trying not to laugh. It was said that the Beihan Emperor's beard had been pulled out after someone fainted, and the person had not been caught yet. Of course, if he knew the true situation of Beihan, he would not be so happy.
Mu Nanyan and the other person went to the ancestral hall first and took the tablet from it. Mu Nanyan did not hide it and directly handed it back into the space. Jun Zhuoyuan witnessed the whole process. Although he had questions and surprise, he did not dare to ask. What if he asked too many questions and the person ran away? He could only wait for Mu Nanyan to tell him that it was not far away. The fact that she could let him see it today proved that Yanyan wanted him to know.
Mu Nanyan didn't think so much about it, she just felt that it was too troublesome to carry it with her. If Jun Zhuoyuan dared to betray her, she would definitely kill him with a knife. She was the most ruthless person.
Mu Nanyan lay on the roof and lifted up a few tiles. The two of them had no intention of hiding this time. The main reason was that the security here was not very good. He fell down after just a little bit of dizziness drug. He was really young. After all, young people like to sleep and have good bodies.
As soon as Mu Nanyan lay down at the entrance of the cave, she saw the Emperor Beihan, who had lost his beard and had a cloth wrapped around his chin. She almost burst out laughing and was discovered. Is this what Jun Zhuoyuan did when he was guarding the gate two days ago? This really didn't give him any face at all.
Mu Nanyan rummaged around in the space for a long time and finally found a magical tool for diuresis. She got ready and pointed to the bottom and said, "Hey, shorty."
Xing Muche and the other man looked up vigilantly, and it happened that only he opened his mouth. Mu Nanyue looked regretful, wondering why the old man didn't open his mouth. So they could only give the boy from Risheng Country to drink, as she had carefully prepared the drink.
Xing Muye stepped back with fear on his face, but he was too late and the potion went into his mouth anyway, "Someone come! Ah, what is this!"
After Mu Nanyan finished her work, she was afraid of clapping, so she turned around and ran away with Jun Zhuoyuan. As soon as they returned to the inn, they saw Yuan Yi waiting at the door, "My Lord and Princess, there is news from Haijiang."
Mu Nanyan took the letter and it was just as she thought. She didn't even take Beihan Country seriously. She just cut off the source of the rising sun and saw how they could fight. "Reply and occupy it directly. Don't worry about Beihan. If there is money, it will be sent to the front line. Tell them to buy the medicinal materials without worry. I have already made arrangements with Kyoto. Jun Zhuoyuan and I will not go there."
Yuan Yi put away the letter and hurried back to write a letter. The Beihan capital had been under strict control in the past two days, so they had no choice but to send the letter by carrier pigeon.
Mu Nanyan returned to the room, took out the tablet and placed it on the table, "Jun Zhuoyuan, do you want to take it or should I?"
Jun Zhuoyuan touched the tablet and said, "Big sister, this is Yanyan, your future sister-in-law. Not really the future, she will be in two years."
Mu Nanyan didn't bother with the details. She poured a cup of tea, wiped the tablet carefully with a handkerchief, and placed it in the cleanest and quietest place. There was no fruit offering, only two cups of tea with steam rising from them.
"Yanyan, have you ever missed anyone?" Jun Zhuoyuan asked with his eyes lowered.
