Chapter 1797: Chapter 1794: Speculation
âWhen you say that⊠I remember, it is indeed true. Because Yun Tan is scarce, there are fewer high-level Gu insects in the Southern Border. This is why Yun Tan as a medicinal herb is so important,â Lu Sangqi said, further confirming the intentions of the Sacred Girl of the Southern Border and others.
âBe careful in the future. This time the Commandery Prince got angry and imprisoned you separately and even punished you. It is due to his illness. Fortunately, the Elder Princess is quite smart and took action by sending him to a manor outside to recuperate. Donât go to the Princeâs Mansion anymore,â Ye Muyu cautioned with concern.
Lu Sangqi, who already saw through everything, naturally nodded in agreement, âI understand.â
âOkay, Iâll continue reading for a while. If youâre tired, just go rest.â
Ye Muyu said.
Lu Sangqi shook his head and, after saying he wasnât tired, stayed nearby to read without disturbing her.
Ye Muyu noticed this, shook her head and said nothing more.
After finishing her reading and returning home, Ye Muyu went into her own study, where many books were kept. She went straight to the section on medical books.
She had already gone over the medical books from the Southern Border countless times.
Yet she didnât give up and continued to search. Finally, on her third check, she saw a record about Yun Tan in an overlooked corner.
âCan only be cultivated by the Imperial Family bloodline?â Ye Muyu softly read aloud, her mind brimming with thoughts.
No, the descriptions of Yun Tan have always been about the wild variety. Could it be cultivated?
Ye Muyu thought of the flower petals sticking to the soles of her shoes from yesterday. Her gaze paused, suddenly realizing something: if it could be cultivated, then the appearance of fresh petals on her shoe sole makes sense. After all, just now Lu Sangqi mentioned that Yun Tan is so rare in the Southern Borderâthey must be processed, so how could fresh petals possibly appear?
Understanding this, Ye Muyuâs breath caught.
She walked out of the study.
Her heart was unsettled, initially thinking to send Zhu San to inquire about the Sacred Girl of the Southern Border. But she immediately dismissed this idea; she couldnât alert the snake.
Upon returning to the backyard and accompanying Nuanbao for a while, she gradually calmed down.
In the evening, Ye Muyu personally cooked everyoneâs favorite dishes.
Chu Ziluoâs sweet and sour ribs and sautĂ©ed beans with pork, Chu Hengâs spicy chicken pieces and stir-fried chicken giblets, Nuanbaoâs baby meal, her own twice-cooked pork and stir-fried vegetables.
After finishing the meal, Ye Muyu almost ate too much, so she stood up and took Nuanbao for a stroll in the yard.
Chu Ziluo, recalling her outing with Princess Weisaiya today where she had run into Li Chongjin at the restaurant, remembered her promise to give him a sachet. After dinner, she played with Nuanbao for a while and then found an excuse to leave.
Ye Muyu did not stop her.
When she returned from her walk, she saw Chu Heng had already finished washing up and was sitting on the couch by the window, handling official duties.
In the side chamber next to the yard, Ye Muyu had prepared a study for him, but each evening Chu Heng did not stay in the study, choosing instead to accompany her at the window.
He dealt with work; she read books. The two seemed very accustomed to this lifestyle.
During the day when she rested, Chu Heng went to the study to avoid disturbing her.
Thinking about these details, Ye Muyu couldnât help but smile silently, feeling warm and happy inside. Her anxiety over tomorrowâs meeting dissipated.
âIâll go wash up first,â Ye Muyu said.
