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

Yan Muxi expressed his guess, and Yan Mujun agreed.

Not only did the prince's love poison dissolve itself, but after the old lady passed away, all the poisons she controlled would also dissolve themselves.

Therefore, their efforts were not in vain, but they achieved a major phased victory.

Yan Yongchen's hands and feet were tied up, and the poison that the old lady had planted before was completely destroyed. Both mother and son were seriously injured and would not be able to cause any more trouble in the short term.

The huge rock above his head became much lighter, and Yan Muxi suddenly felt that the sky was bluer, the water was clearer, and the days were much more hopeful than before.

Princess Rong was kept alive by pills and could only stay awake for more than an hour every day. The whole family was still around her, laughing and joking as before.

Yan Muxi and Yu Wantai did not want Princess Rong to have any regrets at the end of her life, but unfortunately things did not go as planned. Yan Muxi's second and third months' menstruation came as scheduled.

That night, Yan Muxi had another nightmare.

In her dream, she was being chased by dozens of masked men in black, and she watched helplessly as a long sword with a cold glow came towards her chest.

The moment the tip of the sword touched her chest, she suddenly woke up, breathing rapidly and sweating profusely, as if she had really experienced a life-and-death moment.

Yu Wantai lifted the bed curtain, took her into his arms, patted her back to comfort her, and waited until her breathing became steady before asking gently, "Are you having a nightmare again?"

She turned around and hugged Yu Wantai tightly, "Yeah, it's just a dream, I'm fine." For some reason, she felt that what happened in the dream seemed to have really happened.

Yu Wantai thought she was feeling guilty for not being able to get pregnant, so he advised her, "Mother is kindhearted and has always been afraid that others will suffer because of her. So, we should just do our best and leave the rest to fate."

"Yu Wantai, no matter what, you can't abandon me. You can't leave me alone."

Yu Wantai kissed her hair gently, "What nonsense are you talking about? I would rather lose myself than lose you."

Even with the verbal assurance, she still felt uneasy in her heart, so she let go of Yu Wantai and stretched out her little finger.

Yu Wantai was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and stretched out his little finger to hook the seal with hers.

"You have made a promise with me. If you dare not keep your promise, I will never forgive you in this life, the next life, or the next life..."

Faced with her childish coquettishness, Yu Wantai couldn't laugh anymore and lowered his head to block her lips with his lips.

In the blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve again.

Gu Yunting is no longer in office, so Yan Mujun didn't have to go to the palace to attend the banquet. It happened that the empress dowager was not feeling well, so she summoned her to the palace for treatment, so she hurried into the palace with Yan Muxi.

After entering the inner palace, the two sisters went to pay respects to the empress dowager. Seeing that they were not heading to the direction of Ci'an Palace, Yan Muxi asked the eunuch who led the way in confusion, "Where are we going? Isn't the empress dowager in Ci'an Palace now?"

The eunuch bowed and explained, "The Empress Dowager felt that Ci'an Palace was not quiet enough, so she moved to Mei'an Garden next to the plum forest."

Yan Muxi was very confused when he heard this.

Mei'an Garden is located at the northernmost end of the imperial palace, and adjacent to it is the cold palace. The empress dowager is of noble status, so how could she live in such a remote palace?

Along the way, Yan Muxi met several meritorious ladies walking towards Mei'an Garden, talking about the Queen Mother. Only then did she put aside her doubts.

After reaching Meilin, they walked for another half a quarter of an hour before arriving at Mei'an Garden.

The maid who served the Queen Mother welcomed Yan Muxi and the others into the main hall and said to Yan Muxi, "The Queen Mother is feeling very uncomfortable right now. The Crown Prince's Consort will wait here for a while. Madam Gu Jiu, please follow me and go in to see the Queen Mother!"

Yan Muxi nodded slightly, "The Queen Mother's health is important, please go ahead, Madam."

The cotton curtains were thick in winter. Yan Muxi was sitting in the outer hall and could not hear the conversations in the inner hall. She could only vaguely hear some sounds.

After a while, the nanny who had just come out came out again and said, "Madam Gu Jiu has already treated the Empress Dowager. The Crown Prince's wife, please follow me into the inner hall!"

As the princess consort of Prince Rong, Yan Muxi is allowed to bring two maids to serve her when she enters the palace. Today, Yin Xia and Dong Yu followed her into the palace.

Yinxia and Dongyu were reluctant to follow Yan Muxi to the inner hall, so Yan Muxi stood up, signaled to the two of them, and followed the nanny into the inner hall alone.

As soon as he stepped into the inner hall, Yan Muxi realized something was wrong. The empress dowager was ill, and there was no smell of medicine in the room, only the faint scent of cold plums.

She wanted to turn around and leave, but it was too late. Two men suddenly appeared in front of her. One of them came forward and covered her lips, dragging her behind the screen, moving so fast that she had no time to resist.

There was no one behind the screen. Yan Muxi watched another man turning the ancient vase on the antique display cabinet. The cabinet split in the middle, and a secret door that only one person could pass through appeared at the back.

She struggled desperately, but to no avail, and was pushed into the secret door by the man who tied her up from behind.

As the secret door behind him closed, the scene in front of him slowly fell into darkness, and Yan Muxi's heart slowly grew colder.

Under the current circumstances, when Yinxia and Dongyu realize that she is missing, they will not be able to find the secret door even if they break into the inner hall. Even if they do find the secret door, it will probably be too late.

Yan Muxi was pushed forward. It was pitch black all around and he could not see anything. He could only feel the cold walls on both sides.

After walking for about half an incense stick of time, the man behind him finally stopped. With a 'squeaky' sound, a little light shone over, and the light became brighter and brighter.

When Yan Muxi's eyes adjusted to the light, he could see clearly that there was a stone door in front of him.

Before she could see the scene inside the stone gate clearly, she was pushed out of the stone gate by the man behind her and fell heavily on the hard ground.

Looking back, she saw the stone door closing quickly. Without bothering to check if she was injured, she struggled to get up from the ground and tried to stop the stone door from closing.

However, before she reached the stone gate, the last tiny gap disappeared.

She slammed the stone door twice, then collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion. The numb palms and stinging elbows and knees reminded her not to panic. She had to stay calm. Only by staying calm could she survive.

It only took Yan Muxi a short while to calm himself down.

The person behind the scenes brought her here instead of killing her directly, and his purpose should not be to take her life.

If they didn't want her life, what was the purpose of arresting her? Could it be that they wanted to hold her hostage to threaten the Rong Palace?

But the Rongwang Mansion is just a facade, what is there to threaten? And the person who can use the Queen Mother to act in the harem must be of high status, so he should not ask the Rongwang Mansion for help.

It's not murder, nor is it a threat, so it's just pure revenge. Who wants to take revenge on her?

Could it be that the person behind Yan Yongchen knew the inside story of the imperial examination cheating case and wanted to take action against her, but she did it so covertly, how could she still be discovered?

After roughly sorting out the context of the incident, Yan Muxi regained some strength. She stood up with the help of the stone gate, slowly walked forward a few steps, and observed the scenery around her.

She was in a stone house at the moment. Facing the stone gate, there were wooden doors and windows, and the light came from outside the doors and windows.

Walking to the wooden door, she pushed it gently, and the door opened. What she saw was an exquisite square courtyard.
