The prince and Master Shen are still in Dian City, hoping to completely annihilate the rebels.

However, Xiao Yuehan wanted to do one thing, which was to go to Yandang Villa again. She had never forgotten the figure that disappeared in front of her eyes.

That day she set out with Shen Xiaobin, Li'er, Xiao Shuanzi and Bai Mu.

She had no authority to mobilize the 5,000 elite soldiers she brought back from Dian City.

Shen Xiaobin said to her: "Don't worry, Princess. We have people all the way into the mountains."

What Xiao Yuehan was thinking was that since Zi Sangyu was not in Chang'an City, he must protect himself and not cause trouble for him anymore.

The journey was safe and sound, and they entered the territory of Yandang Mountain Villa. The secret guards saw the flag of the young manor owner from afar, and lit the beacon fires one after another.

Xiao Yuehan felt inexplicably moved.

Master Shen was not there, so his assistant Chen Xiu received everyone.

Xiao Yuehan did not explain her purpose, but just said that she wanted to find some medicinal herbs. After the greetings, she took Li'er to the medicine store.

The medicine storehouse is still as clean as before, and the aroma of medicine is intoxicating.

Xiao Yuehan and Li'er walked around the medicine storehouse for a few times, but didn't see the woman they met last time. So they asked a servant in the medicine storehouse.

The servant replied: "Is the princess talking about Aunt Caifeng?"

Xiao Yuehan thought for a moment and answered: "I don't know her name, did you know it the last time we came here?"

"I know. The prince was here last time, too."

"Yes. I saw her here. I wanted to see her again today."

"Oh." The servant seemed to understand: "Aunt Caifeng is very good, we all like her, she is the kind of person you will never forget once you meet her.

But now she is not here. I heard that she came here while traveling and stayed here. She will leave after a while.

She's always been like this, so where is she now? Nobody knows."

"What?" Xiao Yuehan was stunned. She and Li'er looked at each other in disappointment. She felt empty inside and could only concentrate on looking for medicine.

At noon, Chen Xiu served delicious food to entertain the distinguished guests. During the meal, Xiao Yuehan asked about Aunt Caifeng.

Chen Xiu told Xiao Yuehan everything he knew:

“Aunt Caifeng has probably stayed in the villa the longest, she likes this place.

Once when I was hunting, I met her and asked her why she was standing alone on the top of the mountain, where wild animals appeared all the time.

She looked at the other side of the mountain affectionately, and I saw that was where the city of Chang'an was.

She murmured: The person she loved most was there.

I asked her, who is it? She didn't answer. After that, I often saw her standing on the hilltop.

I guess she must be a person with a story.

But at the villa, she stayed in the medicine storehouse and had no contact with other people, so we know very little about her."

The maid Xia Chan interrupted: "She and Aunt Hui Xin are very close. When they have nothing to do, they cook delicious food and do embroidery together.

When Aunt Caifeng cooks, she likes to carve phoenixes and flowers out of radishes and pumpkins.

The fabrics she embroiders are also very photogenic, just like store-bought fabrics.”

"Oh?" Xiao Yuehan became interested. After dinner, she asked Xia Chan to take her to see Hui Xin.

This is a small and tidy courtyard.

The bamboo fence and bamboo gate are covered with blooming pink morning glories.

One corner of the yard was also surrounded by a bamboo fence, where a few chickens were raised.

The sauerkraut is drying in the sun, and the sour smell floats in the air.

Flowers and plants are scattered around the small courtyard, embellishing the farmyard. Xiao Yuehan likes this small courtyard very much.

When Hui Xin saw someone coming, she stepped forward enthusiastically, and Xia Chan said to her, "Aunt Hui Xin, this is the princess.

Come to ask you something about Aunt Caifeng."

Hui Xin looked at Xiao Yuehan and smiled brightly: "I have seen him, I have seen him. I came here with the prince last time."

Then he let them into the house.

Speaking of Caifeng, she also felt regretful: "She likes it here very much. I asked her not to leave, but she said she was not used to staying in one place for too long."

"Where did she go? Did she tell you?" Xiao Yuehan asked.

"No, I usually feel that she is a good person.

But when I asked her where she was from and who else was in her family, she kept silent, as if she had some secret, so I stopped asking.

But after spending time with her, I felt that she had her own difficulties and was always silent.

I want to ask her, to help her, but she won’t say anything.”

Xiao Yuehan thought to herself: She didn't want to stay in one place for too long, nor did she want to talk about her past to anyone.

She kept wandering around, making it impossible for people to track her whereabouts. Could she be her mother? More and more doubts arose.

The servant in the medicine storehouse, Xia Chan, Chen Xiu and Cai Feng mentioned by Hui Xin pieced together her story. Although it was not rich and colorful, the main line was very clear.

This gave Xiao Yuehan more confidence to continue looking for her.

If it was really her mother, she would tell her and she could go home openly.

The criminals who forced her away and separated her from her daughter have now been brought to justice for treason and exiled to Yazhou. She can now come back.

Hui Xin also provided a very important piece of information: “On the fifteenth day of every month, she would go to the ancient temple of Master Xuankong to burn incense.

I was the only one who knew about this, and she repeatedly asked me not to tell anyone about it.

I also met her when I went to burn incense on the 15th of every lunar month.

But she looked very panicked at the time, as if she was afraid of being recognized.

She had a veil on her head, covering most of her face. I recognized her because I was familiar with her clothes.

……

After returning to the palace, Xiao Yuehan was quietly waiting for the arrival of Fifteen.

She wanted to tell her in person that she no longer had to hide.

She wanted her to live an upright life and also wanted Mingyue Restaurant to be returned to her.

Seeing that she was so determined that Aunt Caifeng was the Madam, Li'er said, "Miss, what if she is not? What should we do?"

After a long while, she replied: “If not, I will keep looking until I find it.

Since my mother is missing and her body has not been found, she must still be in this world.

If she is still alive, she would not know that the person who harmed her has been brought to justice.

It's very sad to still live a life of hiding like this.

So I must keep looking. I want to tell her that everything is over. Her daughter is now a princess.

I want to bring her back to the palace and live happily with us.

This is what I, as her daughter, must do for her.”

In Li'er's eyes, the young lady is really tall now. She has become accustomed to the young lady's current style of doing things.

In her eyes, she felt that whatever the young lady was doing now was right and great, and she had full trust in her.

Bai Mu rode up breathlessly and met Xiao Yuehan.

He dismounted and said, "Greetings, Princess. Princess Minyang just came to my house and said that Princess Yuanshuang and her servants disappeared again."
