"Is that so? Since it has been burned, we can't find it anymore," the national teacher said with a calm expression.

"Master Imperial Master, do you have anything else to say? If not, I will leave first," Liu Yunyan did not want to stay here any longer. The Imperial Master's words were full of daggers, and she could not resist.

"Since Your Highness the Princess is here, why don't you stay a little longer?" He made a gesture of invitation and the cavalry stood behind him, blocking their way.

Liu Yunyan knew that she couldn't leave for the time being, so she signaled Feng Yu and the others to stay calm, and a fake smile reappeared on her face, "Thank you for your help."

I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but the entire Meiyi tribe is filled with a dark atmosphere. As soon as I entered, I got a creepy feeling and Liu Yunyan felt a little uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, Princess," the voice of the Imperial Master sounded in front.

Liu Yunyan felt a little curious. Why did Xuan Yue’s national teacher insist on keeping her?

"Princess, don't be nervous. I kept you here because someone wants to see you," came the gentle voice of the national teacher.

Someone wants to see me?

Apart from Feng Jiyun, I shouldn't have anyone I'm particularly familiar with in Xuanyue Country, right?

When she arrived at the main hall, she saw someone standing there whom Liu Yunyan had not expected.

"Old man Ji?" Liu Yunyan asked uncertainly.

"Haha, little girl, why do you act like you've seen a ghost when you see me?" Old Man Ji was very dissatisfied with Liu Yunyan's attitude.

"Why are you here?" This person was someone he had never expected. "And with Xuan Yue Nation's Imperial Master?"

Old Man Ji twisted his beard with his hands and said in a blaming tone, "It's because of you that I rushed to this place."

"Because of me?" Liu Yunyan asked, "You are not here because of the matter of the Xuanyue Kingdom's prince, right?

"Otherwise, I was a guest of honor in Xuanyue Country. Who knew that the news of their prince's death suddenly came from Southern Xinjiang? I thought about the letter that Ling Xue sent before, saying that you were in Southern Xinjiang, so I followed that national teacher here."

"Thank you for your concern, old man. But you came at the right time." Liu Yunyan was really thankful. "Liu Yunfeng is seriously injured now. Can you help treat him?"

"Humph," the old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "I am here to care about you. The life and death of others has nothing to do with me."

Liu Yunyan walked behind Old Man Ji to help him massage his back. "Look, you are here, just go and take a look. She is seriously injured. The bleeding has stopped, but she is still unconscious. I am really worried."

"No," Old Man Ji turned his head away arrogantly and ignored her.

"We are getting married," Liu Yunyan dropped a bombshell.

Old Man Ji was so excited that he jumped up and down, "You're actually married?"

"Well, it's been a few days since we got married, and I haven't received the dowry you mentioned," Liu Yunyan shook Old Man Ji's arm, "You can help treat Liu Yunfeng's injuries, and consider it a gift to my wedding."

Old Man Ji was so angry that he stared blankly, "You didn't even tell me that you got married. No, you actually married a woman? You and your mother really want to piss me off to death, don't you?"

Speaking of Yunxi, Liu Yunyan fell silent.

"Old man, I was just saying it casually, don't take it to heart," Old Man Ji said feeling a little guilty.

"I didn't think too much about it. She is in southern Xinjiang now."

"Who?"

"My mother."

Old Man Ji was stunned and it took him a long time to react.

"You said Yunxi is in the southern border?"

"Yes, Yunshu has been hiding people in southern Xinjiang. I just found them recently," Liu Yunyan whispered, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Lead the way!"

Old man Ji ran out of the Meiyi tribe faster than a rabbit.

When Liu Yunyan passed by Imperial Master Xuanyue, she bowed deeply to him and said, "Thank you, Imperial Master."

The Imperial Master smiled and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite. Elder Ji was in Xuanyue at the time. I just mentioned it casually and he followed me."

"Thank you again."

"No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Yunxi."

Liu Yunyan was curious about the relationship between him and his mother, but there was no time left, so she could only leave first.

The Imperial Master looked at Liu Yunyan's departing back and said, "As expected of a mother and daughter, they look exactly alike."

……

When Old Man Ji saw Yunxi again, he could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears. Anyone who saw him would feel sad.

Li Rongxuan tried to comfort Old Man Ji, but the more she comforted him, the sadder she felt, and finally she cried with him.

Liu Yunyan stood there blankly, unable to utter any words of comfort.

Old Man Ji was a free and easy-going person who loved freedom. He was unwilling to be bound by worldly affairs and never married until he was in his thirties, when he met Yunxi. Yunxi had similar interests to him at a young age, so he treated Yunxi as his own daughter. Later, Yunxi simply recognized him as her adoptive father.

He taught Yunxi everything he had learned in his life, hoping that she could inherit his wish and live a free and easy life.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned, and Yunxi actually walked ahead of him.

When the news of Yunxi's assassination spread, Old Man Ji sat in the yard for a whole day and night, and no one could persuade him.

He couldn't understand why God was unwilling to give such a good girl more time.

This world is so beautiful, and she hasn’t even finished seeing it yet, and yet she’s gone just like that?

Old Man Ji cried for a long time before Liu Yunyan stepped forward to comfort him, "If her spirit in heaven knew, she would definitely not want to see you so sad for her."

"How can I not be sad?" Old Man Ji wiped his tears. "Yunxi is also my daughter. How could God be so cruel to let an old man like me send her off when she was young?"

"Now that things have come to this, you should just let it go."

"You little girl," Old Man Ji stared at Liu Yunyan, "That's your mother too, why don't you seem sad?"

Liu Yunyan:……

Haven’t you seen me when I’m sad?

"Mr. Ji, how could Yanyan not be sad? It's just that the little girl is too proud to let her subordinates see it," Li Rongxuan excused her daughter with red eyes.

"You're a jerk too."

Old Man Ji did not support the union of Li Rongxuan and Yunxi in the first place, and now he dislikes Li Rongxuan even more.

"Alright, old man, you've cried and scolded me, can you come with me to see the injured Liu Yunfeng?"

Liu Yunyan couldn't stand the atmosphere in this palace. When she didn't find the person, she felt sad. Now, whenever she came in here and saw the person in the ice coffin, her tears were uncontrollable.

Old Man Ji glanced at Yunxi who seemed to be asleep. "I will go see my grandson-in-law first, and then come to see you later. I can't let my child become a widow right after getting married, right?"

Liu Yunyan was speechless. Liu Yunfeng was just seriously injured and had not yet woken up. Why was he talking about becoming a widow?
