The edge of the spacious table was surrounded by a whole circle of people. At this moment, everyone’s eyes were all focused on the two letters placed on the table.

  As soon as Feng Tingye stepped into Xia Yuqing’s original room in the Wei Mansion, he saw this scene.

  Lan Yingran, who was also around the table, heard the movement and turned his head to see Feng Tingye.

  “Your Majesty.” Lan Yingran turned around to salute Feng Tingye, but was first supported by Feng Tingye.

  “Lan Daren, no need to be polite.” After saying that, Feng Tingye glanced at the letter on the table and whispered, “What did Yun Xi see?”


  Lan Yingran shook his head: “The crown heir just started to look. She doesn’t seem to see anything yet.”


  “Ahhhhh, I know!” Before Lan Yingran’s words fell, Yun Xi’s exclamation sounded in the room.

  “What? Xiao Xi speak quickly.” Xia Yuqing’s eyes lit up when she heard her words. Staring at Yun Xi closely, her eyes were full of curiosity.

  Yun Xi smiled and pointed to the first painting on Yun Zhongyue’s letter: “Look, this.”


  Several people looked closer in the direction she was pointing, and murmured, “What does it say? A little bird carried something that looked like grass and flew to the top of a cloud.”


  “Well, don’t you find this bird a bit strange?”


  “What’s so strange?” Xia Yuqing stared at the bird. She looked up and down, left and right, but didn’t see any peculiarities.

  Upon seeing this, Yun Xi took a step forward. She patted Xia Yuqing’s face with both hands, fixed her head in one direction and said, “Look, this bird is a male.”


  What? ! Xia Yuqing’s eyes widened. She stared at the bird that looked like a crow, a dark pile. How could this girl tell if the bird was a male or a female!

  “Ma……male?”


  Seeing Xia Yuqing’s shocked expression, Yun Xi continued: “Well, male, male…… male…… male…… you didn’t think of anything?”


  Xia Yuqing gave her a side eye. She spat in her heart secretly, don’t tell me that this bird, which is so black that even her mother would not recognize it, is the princess? !

  As if seeing what Xia Yuqing was thinking in her heart, Yun Xi nodded solemnly. She stretched out her hand to pat Xia Yuqing’s shoulder: “Yes, it’s as you thought, Qing Jiejie. This bird represents my Royal Aunt, the eldest princess, Yunshan.

  “! “Are you f*cking teasing me?!

  The expressions on everyone’s faces cracked for a moment when they heard this. Feng Tingye was the first to recover. He pointed to the cloud in the picture and asked: “Then this cloud refers to your father? ”


  Yun Xi’s eyes lit up slightly, then she sighed: “Your Majesty is worthy of being the emperor. Yes, this cloud refers to my Father.”


  “In that case, what does this painting mean? The eldest princess grabbed a root of grass and handed it to the emperor?” Lan Yingran also leaned over and asked with some doubts.

  Yun Xi did not answer. Instead, she turned to look at the opposite, Yun Zhong Yue: “Sixth Royal Uncle, don’t you see the mystery of this grass?”


  Once Yunxi reminded him of this, the eyes of Yun Zhongyue became brighter: “Could it be…… Yanyu grass?”


  “Yanyu grass?” Xia Yuqing regained her senses after being struck by lightning and asked in confusion.

  Yun Zhongyue nodded: “Well, Yanyu grass is a kind of poisonous weed in the deep mountains of Shu. Its shape is similar to the grass the bird is holding in the painting.”


  “That’s right, it’s Yanyu grass. Yanyu grass is a slow acting poison. At the beginning, you will feel tired and forget things easily. There is no obvious discomfort and it is not easy to be detected. However, over time, it will cause great damage to the body. Once you discover it, it would often be too late.” Yun Xi stretched out her hand to point to the first painting, and said with a solemn expression, “The bird refers to Royal Aunt, the cloud refers to Father, and the bird’s mouth is Yanyu grass. Thus, the meaning of this painting is that Royal Aunt……has poisoned my Father.”


  “.……” The atmosphere in the room condensed suddenly.

  Xia Yuqing unbearably cleared her throat and broke the silence, “But when I saw your Father the other day, his complexion was good. He could run and jump, he didn’t look like he was poisoned at all.”


  “That is to say, Mother and Father were aware of it when Royal Aunt poisoned Father.” Yun Xi said innocently with a small head movement.

  “Tch~~~” Originally, everyone heard the words and were in a cold sweat for the sake of Yun Zhongli, but all of them let out a tch with disdain, and sighed slightly.

  “Okay, okay, continue.” Xia Yuqing was still curious about what was written afterwards, so she directed the topic back to the letter on the desk.

  With the first painting resolved, the rest was much easier.

  “The second picture is a moon hiding behind the clouds. After, the moon and the clouds are put in a frame with many birds outside the frame.”


  Yun Xi responded softly: “This painting is even simpler. The moon represents Mother and the clouds represent Father. The birds outside are obviously smaller than the one representing Royal Aunt. So the meaning of this painting is that Father and Mother are now trapped in the palace. The palace is covered with the eyes of Royal Aunt. This means that Father and Mother have been imprisoned under surveillance.”


  “I know that. When I was going out of the palace, Aunt Yue said that the princess’s eyes were everywhere in the palace. Besides the inner hall of the Chengqian hall, it seems that everywhere was not very safe. Aunt Yue also asked me……” Before Xia Yuqing finished her words, she felt a little chill behind her. As soon as she turned her head, she met Feng Tingye’s eyes. His eyes had a tinge of anger. After a night of fighting last night, her waist that hadn’t recovered felt a bit painful. She had to laugh a few times pretending to be silly and didn’t dare to interject.

  “Hmm……” Yun Xi didn’t notice Xia Yuqing’s anomaly. She pointed to the third painting. “This painting is also a moon hiding behind the clouds, but this moon is not like the previous one. It’s not curved, but round. In other words, Mother and Father are still very good, they should have been thinking and preparing some countermeasures. Therefore, there is a heart hidden in the center of the cloud pattern in this painting, which is to let us feel rest assured so we don’t need to act rashly.”


  Xia Yuqing and the others couldn’t help but lean forwards to look at the cloud carefully after hearing Yun Xi’s words. As expected, the central pattern of the cloud was really a heart-shape after looking carefully.

  “Because the last painting of these two letters are the same, we will leave the last painting for the end. Next is the letter for the emperor.”


  “The first painting of the letter for the emperor is the clouds still being bound by the frame, but there are more outside the frame…… This seems to be a river?” Xia Yuqing pointed to the faintly rippled ribbon on the edge of the scroll and asked in a low voice.

  “Well, it’s water to be precise. This should represent the emperor.”


  “The emperor?” Xia Yuqing turned her head in surprise to look at Feng Tingye. Using running water to represent the emperor? If you wanted to represent the Ultra Seme Lord, shouldn’t you use wind (Feng = wind)? But the wind seems difficult to draw, and…… Yun Xi’s Mother doesn’t seem to know the name of the Ultra Seme Lord……

  “Hmm, Qing Jiejie doesn’t know? The country of Shu is full of mountains, Xue country is full of frost and snow, Xia country is full of grasslands, while Ye Kingdom has many bodies of water. As the emperor of Ye Kingdom, it is more appropriate to use water to represent the emperor.” Yun Xi said naturally.

  “.……” Shoot, this is okay too? ! Moreover, what’s the matter with this picture?

  The cloud represents Yun Xi’s father and the water represents the Ultra Seme Lord, then a frame brutally blocks them? What is this, I’m over here and you are over there, staring at each other from afar, while looking at each other affectionately business? Ahhhhhhh…… Trying to forget your old love, Uncle Uke, isn’t this too explosive! It’s over, this thought can’t be stopped! What can I do to save you? My brain is broken, moreover……

  “Then what’s the matter with the net above?” Xia Yuqing twitched and pointed to the big net that covered the clouds and the water.

  With such a big net, do you want to put the two into the net together? A deep snare of a love net forcing the two to stay together overnight? !

  “Oh, this? I have to speak about it together.” Yun Xi didn’t realize that the paintings of her Mother’s had caused Xia Yuqing’s brain to explode. She continued: “The emperor and my father are separated by a frame. One outside, one inside. Mother should mean that she hopes that the emperor can cooperate with my Father to capture everyone with infidelity like my Royal Aunt in one fell swoop. Therefore, the second painting Mother drew is a cornucopia on the river to gather treasures…… Mother must want to say that after the matter is done, if the emperor requests it and as long as the conditions are not excessive, Father and Mother will give you guys a corresponding reward.”


  “Give a corresponding reward?” Feng Ting Ye smiled sweetly, “This condition doesn’t sound bad.”


  “.……” Xia Yuqing looked at the familiar calculating smile on Feng Tingye’s face, then an alarm bell rang loudly in her heart. Everytime the Ultra Seme Lord reveals this smile, someone is bound to be unlucky. Alas, Yun Xi’s Mother making a blank check to the Ultra Seme Lord will be bound to cause troubles! Because someone doesn’t even know how to write the word self-restraint!

  Xia Yuqing silently lit a row of candles for Helian Mingyue, the couple, and sighed. As soon as she turned her head, she met Yun Xi’s small eyes and her joyful expression.

  “Qing Jiejie, look! I understood all the drawings of Mother, aren’t I great?” Yun Xi asked with a bright face. It was as if she was saying “praise me, praise me” on her face in big print.

  “.……You truly are worthy of being one family. Your thoughts are all on the same page, ordinary people can’t even understand.” Xia Yuqing spit out a sentence stiffly after a moment of embarrassment.

  “.……”


  “Okay, don’t play, there is one last picture. Xiao Xi quickly look at what is drawn on this picture?” Yun Zhongyue reminded several people that in these two letters, the last picture was exactly the same. It is very likely that this picture is the focus of the two letters.

  “Okay.” Yun Xi reluctantly walked back to her original position. She stared at the last picture of the two letters.

  The final pattern on these two letters was a big gold ingot. There was also a ladder-like drawing on the side of the gold ingot.

  “Um……” Yun Xi stared at it for a long time, groaning. She twisted her eyebrows, revealing a somewhat distressed expression.

  “What’s wrong? Is it hard to read?”


  “Well, I don’t understand. The gold ingot and this ladder……they seem a bit familiar.”


  Yun Zhongyue heard Yun Xi say this and he moved closer to look at it carefully. The pattern of the ladder seemed to remind him of something: “Xiao Xi, do you think the pattern of this ladder looks a bit like a mountain climbing ladder?”


  “Mountain Climbing ladder?” Xia Yuqing asked puzzledly.

  “Mountain climbing ladder is a very tall and strong ladder. With a mountain climbing ladder, it is easy to climb the cliffs in the mountains, hence its name. It is a unique siege weapon of the Kingdom of Shu.” Feng Tingye went up to hold Xia Yuqing’s hand as he explained.

  “Oh, does Aunt Yue want to use the mountain climbing ladder to break the current predicament?”


  “It shouldn’t be.” Yun Xi frowned and stared at the gold ingot on the side of the ladder. Something flashed in her mind. Her eyes lit up again, “I see! The queen wants us to find Grandpa Jin.”


  “Grandpa Jin?”


  “Well, Grandpa Jin is the one who invented the mountain climbing ladder. He lives in the capital city of Shu all year round studying alchemy and organ crafts on the nearby high mountains. Few people would be able to invite him out of the mountain if nothing serious happened.”


  Xia Yuqing heard Yun Xi’s words and suddenly remembered what Helian Mingyue said to herself at that time. She had wanted her to bring out the letter to have the people outside to go find someone to help. Then the person who they are looking for is Grandfather Jin that Yun Xi mentioned?

  “Then, is Grandfather Jin very impressive?”


  As soon as Xia Yuqing finished asking, Yun Xi had no time to answer when she heard Feng Tingye ask, “Is this senior Jinwu Yujin of Shu Kingdom?”


  Yun Xi and Yun Zhong Yue became startled, then both nodded.

  “Your Majesty, do you know him?” Xia Yuqing asked in surprise, turning her head.

  “Well, elder Jinwu Yujin of Shu Kingdom is an alchemy elder who is as famous as Ai Fei’s master. They are both well-known all over the world. I have heard Xu Lao mention him by accident, but have never seen him.”


  Equally as famous as Master? Xia Yuqing was startled, but she understood Helian Mingyue’s intention. Although her master has a child’s disposition, has a temper, and protects his shortcomings, his strength is definitely a leverage. A person who can be as famous as her own master, their ability is guaranteed for sure. However, she didn’t know how this Senior Jin was. With her years of experience, this kind of master usually is somewhat eccentric, cough……

  “So It seems that the last painting of Royal Sister-in-law should be for us to invite Senior Jin to come out to help. Although Senior Ji has lived in the mountains for a long time, his ability to rally supporters in the Kingdom of Shu is much higher than that of Fourth Royal Sister. If he helps, we are bound to double in power.” Yun Zhongyue said this as he furrowed his eyebrows and showed a little worry. “The question is how to get Senior Jin to come out to help.”


  “Well, is it that difficult? Isn’t that Senior Jin a Shu native? Now that Shu is in a difficult situation, he should be somewhat shaken, so getting him to come out to help……” There shouldn’t be any difficulties, right?

  Facts have proved that Xia Yuqing is still too naive.

  “Little Junior Sister, you are wrong. Senior Jin, that old man, is much harder than Master. He is pedantic, selfish, and eccentric, not to mention he is a p*rvert. Don’t think Master is doing everything for Brother-in-law because he is very close to brother-in-law. It’s actually based on your face. You must know that these famous old people are stubborn. They place themselves above everyone else. Although they stayed in their respective countries and would do something for big events to earn some reputation, at other times, they basically won’t intervene in the trivial matters of these countries’ struggles. For them, anyone can be the emperor of their own country, as long as their country is not swallowed by other countries.” Yun Zhongyue said with a solemn expression.

  “.……” D*mn it? ! Why hadn’t she noticed that their master had such a prudent side!

  “Hmm.” Yun Xi agreed with this point, “That old man, when I was a child under ten years old, he actually hugged me and said that if I turned out good looking when I grow up, he wanted me to be his thirtieth concubine. My father was so angry that he picked up a broom and swept him out. Since then, I have never seen him again.”


  “.……” He sounds really p*rverted, no wonder Yun Xi’s Father, who was obsessed with his child got so upset. But…… is this a disguised reminder to use beauty tricks? Xia Yuqing secretly thought.

  “It’s said that Senior Jin has a perverse temperament and doesn’t interact with people very much. He often goes out alone and spends most of his time studying in the mountains. He does not often appear in the capital, so not many have seen his true face. However, his name is probably heard by everyone in this capital.” Lan Yingran couldn’t help but interject as he listened to the conversation of these people.

  “In that case, this Senior Jin seems to be very difficult to handle.” Xia Yuqing thought for a moment, then turned to look at Feng Tingye, “What shall we do now?”


  Feng Tingye looked at Yun Xi and Yun Zhong Yue. He glanced at them, his face slightly stern: “Whether it is difficult or not, the Sixth Prince is right. If we can get this Senior, we will get twice the result with half the effort. Now that the Eldest Princess has obtained the imperial order from Yun Zhongli to temporarily control the government, although this is an act to loosen the reins to grasp them better, I am afraid that the situation will not be as well controlled as imagined if things delay. We have to fight quickly, and the help of this Senior Jin…… is indispensable.”


  Feng Tingye said this and everyone nodded. Feng Tingye turned his head to look at Yun Zhongyue, “Where is Senior Jin now?”


  “Grandpa Jin seems to live on Xiangyun Mountain, one mile away from the capital city.”


  “Yeah.” Yun Zhong Yue nodded, responding to Yun Xi’s words. He added, “The mountain is steep and there are beasts in the mountains from time to time. It is already the afternoon, so if you leave now, it would be just night time before you reach the foot of the mountain. Climbing that mountain at night is very dangerous.”


  “Then tomorrow morning, at dawn, we will disguise ourselves and set off secretly to Xiangyun Mountain to visit this old senior.”


  Feng Tingye made the final decision, so it was considered the ultimate decision. After solving this major event and finding the next direction of their actions, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  Xia Yuqing glanced at the room where she had lived for a few days. She lowered her eyes, then pursed her lips as if she had made a certain determination. She stepped forward cautiously, pulling Feng Tingye’s sleeves.

  Although Feng Tingye was talking to Yun Zhongyue and the others, his attention had always been on Xia Yuqing. Thus, when Xia Yuqing pulled at him, he noticed immediately.

  Looking down at Xia Yuqing who was acting nervously, he rubbed her soft hair and asked in a low voice: “What’s wrong? Not feeling well? Do you miss the two children?”


  Feng Tingye’s soft voice made Xia Yuqing lose her senses for a moment, then she became more determined with what she was thinking. She shook her head vigorously. Xia Yuqing hesitated, “Your Majesty, I have something to tell you alone.”


  Feng Tingye was taken aback. He turned to look towards the people still in the room. Everyone on the side were also startled when they heard Xia Yuqing’s words. At this moment, Feng Tingye looked over at them.

  One by one, they hurriedly said: “If we are going tomorrow, we have to go back and pack up, so we won’t bother you guys.” After that, all of them, as if they had seen a ghost, ran out with oil on the soles of their feet.

  As soon as everyone left, the room returned to silence.

  Feng Tingye glanced at Xia Yuqing’s appearance. Seeing that she found it hard to speak up, he took the initiative to break the silence: “Everyone is gone, what do you want to say to me?”


  Xia Yuqing bit her lip and organized her words before speaking: “Well, I entered the Shu Kingdom palace that day and met Yun Xi’s Father and Mother……”


  “What then?” Feng Tingye narrowed his eyes, feeling that the matter was related to Yun Zhong Li and Helian Mingyue. Could it be that the unreliable man and his woman instilled something strange into his pet? For example…… instigating her to run away from home?

  “Then I found that Yun Xi’s Mother, Aunt Yue, is different from you guys.”


  “What does it mean to be different from us?” Feng Tingye’s eyebrows were slightly twisted, a slightly puzzled appearance in his eyes.

  “That……that……” Xia Yuqing choked for a long time. As if being forced into anxiousness, she closed her eyes and said angrily, “It’s just that she’s the same as me, not from this era.”


  Feng Tingye’s face changed slightly, unclear whether it was him being shocked by what Xia Yuqing suddenly said or he was still surprised that Xia Yuqing would tell him about it at this time.

  Xia Yuqing was shocked. Her head hung down and she did not dare to look at Feng Tingye’s expression at the moment. It took a long time before she heard a voice filled with a little complexity from the side: “What do you mean…… not from this era?”


  His voice was a little lower than usual, causing Xia Yuqing to shrink her neck back with a guilty conscience. The force she used to bite her lip was slightly harder. Even her hands that were clenched tightly exuded a little cold sweat.

  After all, Xia Yuqing was still a little scared in her heart. Even though He Lian Mingyue had said so much to her, as He Lian Mingyue said, she was still somewhat uncertain about Feng Tingye.

  Feng Tingye liked her, there is no doubt about this, otherwise he would have brought new people into the harem for himself and not have given birth to two children with herself. But to what extent does Feng Tingye like her? Has it reached a point where there is no comparison?

  If Xia Yuqing had the courage to raise her head at this moment, she would find that Feng Tingye’s eyes looking at her had a bit of surprise, a bit of inquisition, and a bit of curiosity. Yet it did not have the fed up attitude she had anticipated at all.

  “Not a person of this era means that I don’t actually live in this era or have been in this body since the beginning. I am not Xia Yuqing……Well no, that doesn’t seem right. I am Xia Yuqing and not Xia Yuqing. It should be said that in my era my name was Xia Yuqing, but……I didn’t use this body.” Xia Yuqing was prone to make mistakes when she was nervous, especially at such moments.

  After Xia Yuqing closed her eyes, she shouted in her mind. Ahhhh, what the h*ll did she say just now! The Ultra Seme Lord……

  Xia Yuqing raised her head in a panic. She took a peek at Feng Tingye, only to see that he was thinking with his brows furrowed.

  A long while after, Xia Yuqing heard Feng Ting Ye ask one thing: “Reincarnation?”


  “!” No wonder you are the Ultra Seme Lord, even from the nonsense and rambling she spewed, he was able to distill the key point.

  Xia Yuqing cleared her throat, easing her frightened little heart. She tried her best to keep her voice calm: “You…… you can say that.”


  “So that’s the case.” There was no expression on Feng Tingye’s face. Xia Yuqing couldn’t see what he was thinking at the moment.

  After a while, Xia Yuqing heard Feng Tingye’s faint question: “What about the original Xia Yuqing?”


  Xia Yuqing swallowed hard: “She should be…… she should be dead.”


  When this sentence came out, the room fell into a suffocating silence again.

  Xia Yuqing looked at Feng Tingye’s expressionless profile, her heart was beating like thunder. What to do? The Ultra Seme Lord stopped talking again. Did he know what happened to her already? Was he already thinking of how to get rid of this monster? !

  Xia Yuqing’s small heart thumped and thumped, but at the end she heard a: “When?”


  “Huh?”


  “Zhen asked you, when did you borrow this body to recover your soul and become today’s Xia Yuqing?”
