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

At noon, the gate of the Princess's Mansion opened wide, and two carriages drove out of the gate at high speed and disappeared into the official road.

The news that Princess Nishang was kidnapped by the head of the Neiji Pavilion spread quickly.

Upon learning that Yu Wantai had successfully escaped, Yan Muxi breathed a sigh of relief. Since Princess Nishang had been kidnapped, the Empress Dowager should not have the time to cause trouble for her anymore.

In the afternoon, the Empress Dowager issued an imperial decree that all officials and their families could return home in an orderly manner. Yan Muxi's hanging heart was finally put to rest.

On the official road not far from the Princess's Mansion, Dong Yu saw his own carriage approaching, so he hurriedly drove his horse forward and jumped onto the carriage.

Seeing Yan Muxi was fine, her nose felt sore and she tried hard not to cry, "You scared me to death!"

Yan Muxi smiled to comfort them, "It was a close call, we have managed to get through this difficult time." After hesitating for a moment, he added, "I'm afraid we won't be able to get back to Huadao for the New Year."

In order to prevent being tracked and revealing their true identity, they should not leave Shengjing in the short term. They must wait until the news has spread and they are sure that no one is monitoring them before leaving.

Dong Yu was so frightened all night that he could not care about anything else. "As long as Madam is safe, it doesn't matter when we return."

"I am forced to do this now. Who would have thought that by chance..."

Dong Yu interrupted Yan Muxi and said, "Madam, you don't need to explain anything. Your husband is a person who can't keep secrets. You don't need to know too much."

Yan Muxi thought for a moment, then leaned close to Dongyu's ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I saw Yu Wantai!"

Dong Yu's eyes suddenly widened, and tears flashed after a moment. She opened her mouth, wanting to ask if she had seen Hei Lian and whether the person was still alive, but in the end she couldn't ask.

Looking at her like this, Yan Muxi must have something to understand. Dongyu might not have let go of Ruyi yet.

Come to think of it, the two of them had feelings for each other and were forced to separate when their relationship was at its best. How could they easily forget it?

She lowered her voice to comfort him, "Wait a little longer. We have already survived most of the darkest days, and bright and warm days are coming soon."

Dongyu nodded blankly with tears in her eyes. She actually didn't understand what Yan Muxi meant, she just subconsciously agreed.

Three days later, Princess Nishang was brought back safely by the head of the Neiji Pavilion, while the deputy head of the Neiji Pavilion, Yu An, fled and disappeared. A reward notice was posted throughout North Vietnam, offering a reward of 10,000 taels of gold to anyone who captured the traitor Yu An.

On the second day after the princess returned home, Yan Muxi and Mao went to visit the Duke of Weiguo at his mansion.

Princess Nishang was not injured, just frightened, and looked haggard and sick.

After asking about each other's well-being, Yan Muxi looked at the red plum blossoms in the vase and praised them, "It's refreshing and elegant, and it's refreshing. The fragrance in this room is so good. No wonder the princess likes red plum blossoms!"

Princess Nishang sniffed the air and said, "I have loved the scent of cold plums since I was a child. If I don't smell it for a day, I will feel uncomfortable all over."

Yan Muxi smiled and said, "Since the princess likes red plums so much, next year, I will ask the master to make a few sets of plum-scented skin care sets for the princess?"

"Mrs. Qian, can you make a plum-scented skin care set?" Princess Nishang asked in surprise.

"Of course you can. The new skin care products are made from fresh flower juice. If you can make other flowers smell like them, you can also make plum fragrance. But there is no plum forest in my hometown, so I am afraid it will be difficult to find the best plum petals."

When Princess Nishang heard Yan Muxi say that she could make plum-scented skin care products, she instantly perked up, and even the sick look on her face mostly disappeared.

"As many plum blossom petals as you need, just go to my red plum forest and pick them."

"That's fine. I'll customize a plum-scented skincare set just for the princess. A few kilograms of petals will be enough. It won't ruin the beauty of the plum forest."

Princess Nishang waved her hand nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter if some of it is destroyed. After all, the plum blossoms bloom every year, and we can still see them next year."

"Since the princess is so anxious, it seems I have to hurry back home and ask the master to make the skin care set before the New Year, so as not to let the princess wait too long." Yan Muxi joked with a smile.

She was originally worried about being monitored, so she did not dare to leave Shengjing. Over the past few days, Jingzhe and Yushui did not find any suspicious people around.

Since no one was watching them, it could be basically concluded that they had completely cleared themselves of suspicion.

There must be someone under the Empress Dowager's wing around Princess Nishang. Today they will test it with the Meixiang skin care kit. If the other party still does not move, they can leave Shengjing without worry.

Because the princess was abducted, business at Xianzitang was slow for a few days. But it became busy again near the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and was even more popular than when it first opened.

The snowy road was difficult to travel on, and the seven-day journey took more than ten days. Yan Muxi and his party set out from Shengjing on the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month and arrived in Ice City on the 28th day of the lunar year.

After resting for a night in the backyard of Xianzitang, Yan Muxi visited Prince Jin’s Mansion and Li’s Mansion respectively the next day.

When they returned to Xianzitang at noon, Dongyu hurriedly pulled her into the inner room and closed the door.

"Black Face has come to Ice City."

Yan Muxi was stunned for a moment, then walked to the armchair and sat down. "What did he say to you?"

"Ah?" Dong Yu didn't expect Yan Muxi to be so calm. She walked forward and handed over the note in her hand. "Today, I went to the dock warehouse and saw a familiar figure. I followed him out of curiosity, and then someone stuffed a note into my hand. The handwriting on it is Hei Lian's. I won't make a mistake."

Yan Muxi opened the note and took a look at it, then lifted the cover of the brazier and threw the note in to burn it.

When the paper in the brazier burned to ashes, Dong Yu finally responded, "So, Miss, are you going to accept the appointment?"

Yan Muxi smiled bitterly, "Of course I will go."

Not for any other reason, Yuechan was still in her hands, she had to personally negotiate things with Yu Wantai. Yes, she didn't want to see him, she just wanted to negotiate things clearly.

In the middle of the night, Yan Muxi changed into dark clothes and went to the dock with Dongyu.

As the New Year approaches, cargo ships stop operating and the dock is dark and deserted with only three or two cargo ships docked.

The whistling sea breeze blew against her face, but Yan Muxi didn't feel the slightest bit of coldness. She tried her best to control her emotions, but still couldn't control her wildly beating heart.

The closer I got to the cargo ship, the faster my heart beat, as if it would burst out of my throat in the next moment.

"Madam, please be careful with your step." Dongyu reminded in a low voice.

"Good~"

The cabin was pitch black and she couldn't see anything, but she could clearly feel where Yu Wantai was standing.

"Ah~" Dongyu cried out and was carried out of the cabin.

"Jubilee, Jubilee~"

A familiar voice entered Yan Muxi's ears, and her tears fell uncontrollably.

After a short while, she tried to suppress the sob in her throat and asked calmly, "Should I call you Prince Rong or Pavilion Master Yu?"

"Xixi, I..."

After a long silence, Yu Wantai asked in a hoarse voice, "Is Yuechan, the female witch doctor whose face was disfigured, in your hands?" He spoke slowly, as if he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

"Yuechan is indeed in my hands, but I don't know whether she is still alive."

When Yuechan was taken away by Shunzi that day, her heart meridian was seriously injured. The blood-solidifying pills could save her life for half a month. Yan Muxi really didn't know whether she was still alive now.

"Then where is she?" Yu Wantai asked anxiously.

The things on Yuechan's body took him two years of patience to get. If they are lost, all his two years of hard work will be wasted.
