The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

The trembling as if being locked by a wild beast in the dark night instantly ran up from my spine.

Yun Nian's body was stiff, his pupils slightly dilated, but his hands hid the wooden box behind him faster than he thought.

"Are you surprised to see me?"

Xi Yuanen's tone was not full of anger. On the contrary, when he saw someone stealing his treasure, he actually had the leisure to chat with her instead of arresting her immediately.

The turbid and smelly air in the tunnel seemed to be playing its due role at this moment. At least Yun Nian felt his scalp tingling and breathing difficult.

What should she do? Her brain was spinning rapidly. She knew she would definitely not win if she fought him. Now she said she came in just to take a look out of curiosity, which would also be a failure.

She was caught red-handed when she was trying to get the antidote. Would Xiyu believe her? The Great Elder might let her go for Xiyu's sake, but he would never let her take the things inside.

Most importantly, would he realize that he was here for the Regent?

"What a coincidence?"

Yun Nian uttered two words stiffly, and the next second he wanted to bite his tongue.

"Unfortunately, I was just waiting."

She carefully watched the elder take out a strange object from his pocket and put it on the pale face.

"Excuse me, after all, I can't have... protection like you, so I can only use some special means. But I am curious, did you come here because you know you won't be poisoned?"

The face that looked even older in the darkness showed a hint of curiosity, which made Yun Nian nervous.

"What? You said the tunnel is covered in poison gas?"

In the eyes of everyone in Feiyu Tower, she should not know that she has been poisoned by the "Love" Gu. Similarly, she should not know that the Gu poison can also repel other poisons.

Yun Nian tried hard to control his expression. Under the green light, he looked a little strange.

"Of course I'm not afraid. I'm the daughter of the Prime Minister. I ate so many rare treasures when I was young that I'm immune to all poisons."

A lame lie would be easily exposed, but she had no other choice at the moment and could only hope that he would believe it.

"Really? That's it."

Xi Yuanen showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, looked at the vigilant girl, and laughed loudly.

"Miss Yun, don't worry. After all, I know why you came here, and I have no intention of going against the Regent. Since you have found the antidote, take it. This is fate."

There was still a hint of helpless relief in his tone. Yun Nian grabbed the wooden box, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind.

"You are the spy that the mute slave contacted!"

The mute slave once said that there was a spy in the tower who held a higher position and was affiliated with His Royal Highness the Regent. However, he did not say that this spy was the grand elder of Feiyu Tower!

Isn’t this just the flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple?

"Spy? This title is a bit too harsh. I am just giving convenience to the Regent without violating my responsibilities."

Xi Yuanen was obviously dissatisfied with being called a "spy", and the smile on his face turned bitter.

But since he wanted to make friends with the Regent, why didn't he just hand over the antidote?

Yun Nian thought about this and naturally asked,

"I am the chief elder of Feiyu Tower, but there is also a second elder here. I cannot completely reject their proposal, nor can I do anything that goes against the interests of my Feiyu Tower."

Xi Yuanen's face was covered by a mask, leaving only two sparkling eyes.

"The Regent can come and get it himself, but I can't take the initiative to give it to you. This is my principle. Do you understand?"

Yun Nian nodded as if she understood something. No matter what, the Great Elder was her own person now, and she had already obtained the antidote. If he didn't mind, then he could let her go, right?

She was about to ask him to take her out quickly, but she saw the half-smile on the other person's face.

"Please wait a moment, Miss Yun. Although I told you that you can take the antidote and leave, you still have to hand over the things that you shouldn't take, right?"

Xi Yuanen's eyes twitched. Did she think she was blind? The sleeve was almost sinking to the ground. Did she think she hadn't noticed it yet?

"Ah, um, well, okay."

Yun Nian showed a guilty smile, squatted down, put the wooden box aside, and looked at the elder with some caution before he began to take something out of his sleeve.

"Nine-turn Hundred Herbs Rejuvenating Pill, Eight-turn Soul Purifying Pill, Seven Stars...Haha, you have a pretty good pattern in naming."

Although they were not originally his, Yun Nian still showed a look of heartache as he took them out. These were all good things. If he had known earlier, he would have hidden them more secretly.

There were already a circle of things on the ground, and Xi Yuanen's eyebrows jumped. How many things did she take?

"Okay, okay, let's go."

Yun Nian picked up the small box on the ground and was about to walk around the elder to go out, but was stopped by him again. He gritted his teeth and said,

"I said, bring it all out."

"Can't I just take two or three more?"

"Of course not!"

Hearing this, she had no choice but to take out the things in her hand with regret, and finally shook her sleeves.

"Well, now it's really gone."

When Xi Yuanen saw the fluttering hem of her clothes, he let her go and walked with her toward the safe passage outside.

Where he couldn't see, Yun Nian touched her chest. Fortunately, she was smart and had hidden a few of them. Huh.

When he reached the oil lamp, Xi Yuanen took off his mask. He walked up and spoke.

"The world likes to express itself in too many different ways. Xiyu is a good child, but also a child with a miserable life. I hope he can be happy."

Yun Nian paused for a moment and said nothing.

"We did some wrong things in the past, but I have tried my best to make up for it. He is a little stubborn, but that is also because he has suffered too much due to his weak body. He is not a really bad person."

No matter they are bad guys or good guys, some people always say that the attacking enemy soldiers are also good guys who save the poor people. However, before they are saved, they have already died under the iron cavalry of the army.

She only believes what she sees, hears and feels, and the rest has nothing to do with her. She just wants to live her life in peace and freedom.

Only anxious shouts came from the silent tunnel.

"Master! Master! Where are you?"

"I told you I didn't mean it!"

It was the voices of Xiyu and Xiling!

Although she achieved her goal with Xi Lingshuang, the other party's entanglement was really annoying. If she couldn't solve the problem once and for all, she was afraid that there would be changes again.

Yun Nian closed his eyes, and before the Great Elder could react, he ran headfirst into the stone wall next to him.
