The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

"Ah? What did you say?" Yan Mujun thought she was hallucinating.

Yan Muxi didn't bother to explain and said hurriedly: "Hurry up, third sister, squint your eyes and smile again."

Yan Mujun had a lot of question marks on her head, but she still did as she was told.

Her pupils were black and bright, with the tails of her eyes slightly upturned. When she squinted her eyes with a smile, they seemed to be dazzling and brilliant, and were surprisingly similar to the eyes of the witch doctor just now.

Why are the witch doctor's eyes so similar to Yan Muyun's? Yan Muxi's mind was in a mess.

The witch doctor's eyes are similar to Yan Muyun's, which means they are similar to Yan Yongchen's. Is it just a coincidence?

No, she didn't think so. Most coincidences in the world are often not real coincidences. The eyes of the female witch doctor and Yan Yongchen are extremely similar, which is definitely not a coincidence.

Yan Mujun can be called the most beautiful woman in Luodu, thanks to her cold and unique phoenix eyes. If similar phoenix eyes could be found everywhere on the street, the title of the most beautiful woman would be too worthless.

If one person resembles another, the most likely scenario is that they are related by blood.

Could it be that she had guessed wrong before? There was no affair between the witch doctor and Yan Yongchen, but they were blood relatives?

However, the Yan family has a simple background and has been farmers for generations. Yan Yongchen and his father are both single descendants and have no other direct relatives.

If Yan Yongchen and the female witch doctor are related by blood, then where does this relationship come from?

Could it be that the female witch doctor is a relative of Old Lady Yan’s mother’s family?

Yan Muxi didn't know much about Old Lady Yan's background. She only knew that she was brought back from outside by Yan Yongchen's father, and she knew nothing else.

If the witch doctor is really a direct blood relative of Old Lady Yan, then what is her purpose in sending Yan Murou back to the Yan Mansion? Is it just to give her daughter a noble status and get the protection of the Yan Mansion?

In the study of the Yan residence, Yan Yongchen asked the female witch doctor who was sitting not far away, "How is it? Can Prince Rong's injury be cured?"

"Haven't you guessed it long ago? Why are you asking even though you already know the answer?" The witch doctor's tone was friendly and gentle.

Yan Yongchen chuckled and picked up the teacup, "Sister Xi has been a naughty girl since she was a child, and she has become even more unrestrained as she grows up."

The witch doctor sneered, "Oh, your own flesh and blood, how is it? Wasn't it you who saved it?" After a pause, she continued, "As for the emperor, do you need me to go to the palace in person?"

"No, I'll handle it." Yan Yongchen took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said, "Northern Frontier, take action in advance!"

"Why? Shouldn't we wait until August, when the eldest princess leaves for North Vietnam?" The witch doctor asked, and suddenly came to her senses, with a hint of smile in her black eyes. "I thought you were so cold-blooded that you didn't recognize your relatives, but it turns out that you are still tied to me by blood."

Yan Yongchen turned his eyes away and did not deny it. "Yan Dahui will follow the wedding procession to North Vietnam."

The witch doctor put away the smile in her eyes and said, "I have someone who can be used. I'd better keep Yan Da with you!"

"It's not because of you. He had other things to do in North Vietnam." Yan Yongchen sighed and looked out the window leisurely.

It’s almost time. If Yan Da can get what he wants, everything will end early!

Although Yan Muxi reached a tacit understanding with the female witch doctor, she was still anxious for many days. She was not completely relieved until she was sure that there would be no movement in the palace.

After dinner, Yin Xia reported the news outside the palace as usual, "At the court this morning, more than a dozen court officials reported Prince Rui, but the emperor still kept silent."

"It won't last long. The patience of the people is limited. If Prince Rui is not punished, the emperor will probably be scolded." Yan Muxi sighed, glanced at the bedroom, lowered his voice and asked softly, "How is the situation in the south going? How long will it take for the situation to get worse?"

"Soon, no more than five days at most."

Seeing Yinxia's puzzled expression, she asked again, "What's wrong? Have you run into a problem that you can't solve?"

Yin Xia shook her head. "No trouble. Apart from us, there seems to be a group of people deliberately spreading rumors about the eldest princess marrying the North Vietnamese. They said that the Emperor of Dafeng was afraid of the North Vietnamese and would rather push his daughter into the fire pit than go to war with the North Vietnamese. The rumor seems to have come from the Northern Frontier. Many restaurants and theaters in Luodu City have people talking about this matter."

Upon hearing that someone wanted to use the princess' marriage to North Vietnam to stir up trouble, Yan Muxi frowned, thought for a moment, then relaxed and instructed Yin Xia.

"Since someone is doing this for us, let's withdraw our people! Clean up the traces and don't let anyone catch us later."

Using pills to make Yu Wantai seriously ill can only temporarily confuse the emperor's eyes. If the Rong Palace wants to be stable in the future, it is necessary to create some trouble for Emperor Yuanjing so that he will not have the energy to embarrass the Rong Palace.

Yan Muxi didn't dare to cause trouble in Luodu City, but fortunately she had money and connections, so it would be the same to start from the outside, it would just cost more money and manpower.

She used the princess' marriage to create public opinion in order to cause trouble for Emperor Yuanjing. Why did she have another ally? Wasn't this a big move just to cause trouble for the emperor?

The public opinion came from the northern Xinjiang. Could it be that the North Vietnamese did it? Was it to show the power of North Vietnam?

In the Imperial Study at that time, Emperor Yuanjing and several cabinet ministers also made such speculations, believing that North Vietnam deliberately spread rumors in order to trample on Dafeng.

Emperor Yuanjing's face was as dark as ink. He tried his best to prevent the people of Dafeng from paying attention to the matter of the princess' marriage to North Vietnam, but he didn't expect that he would be pushed to the forefront again at the last minute.

Su Xingshan, the eldest son of Su Taifu and the Minister of Rites, said angrily: "I believe that diplomatic relations of etiquette are only for friendly countries with moral bottom lines. North Vietnam has repeatedly trampled on the prestige of Dafeng. Dafeng must not swallow its anger and marry our princess to North Vietnam to be humiliated."

Seeing that Emperor Yuanjing was silent with a gloomy face, Yan Yongchen retorted: "Although the rumor came from the northern border, there is no evidence to prove that it was done by the people of North Vietnam. If Dafeng attacks North Vietnam without any evidence, it will appear that we are in the wrong."

"The envoys from North Vietnam dared to humiliate my Princess Dafeng in front of all the civil and military officials in the court on our territory. It was only because of your majesty's kindness that you did not bother with them and agreed to marry the princess to North Vietnam. Now that trouble has arisen again, regardless of whether the rumors were caused by the North Vietnamese or not, I think there is no need to fulfill the marriage agreement." After Su Xingshan finished speaking, he knelt down with his head bowed, as if forcing the emperor.

"Our Dafeng country is prosperous and there is really no need for us to worry too much about the North Vietnam, which is constantly plagued by internal troubles." Grand Tutor Xue also agreed with Su Xingshan's opinion.

When Emperor Yuanjing insisted on marrying the princess to North Vietnam, most of the cabinet ministers disagreed. Now that North Vietnam is stirring up trouble again and trampling on Dafeng, Dafeng will never swallow its anger and marry the princess to North Vietnam again.

Yan Yongchen still disagreed. "We in Dafeng have always maintained diplomatic relations with courtesy. If the rumors have nothing to do with the North Vietnamese, and we in Dafeng take the initiative to attack, wouldn't that mean we have abandoned moral etiquette? We are birds of a feather with the North Vietnamese."

Hearing this, Emperor Yuanjing's brows relaxed. "Minister Yan is right. We must investigate the source of the rumor before we can decide whether to cancel the marriage. I will give Minister Yan the full responsibility for investigating the rumor. You must give me a satisfactory result within ten days."
