Cheng'er slowly raised her hand. She wanted to give up several times, but gritted her teeth and persisted. In the end, she held onto Mu Xiaoling's hand.

Mu Xiaoling smirked as she slowly walked back to her room. As for Lu Xuan and the rest of his men, Shen Zhao naturally knew what to do.

Everyone returned to their rooms and took a hot bath. Lin Ze cooked a big pot of ginger soup, and everyone drank another big bowl before resting.

They didn't need to bother themselves with the rest of the matters, Shen Zhao was more than enough to deal with them.

Ten days later, Yan's army arrived at the capital, and Shen Zhao gave them a feast.

After Mu Xiaoling recovered her status, she went to the main hall with Meng Yifan and met a familiar face. It was the crown prince of Yan Country, Xin Mingyun. She was her ex-fiance.

When the two of them met, they were startled as Xin Mingyun was captivated by Mu Xiaoling's beauty. Mu Xiaoling didn't expect to meet this familiar face of hers.

Xiao Yu used his wide sleeves to scratch Mu Xiaoling's palm in dissatisfaction. Did that mean that the man behind the words was prettier than him?

Mu Xiaoling coughed and cupped her hands in greeting. "Your Highness."

"This must be Miss Feng." Xin Mingyun's eyes were filled with fascination, a smile plastered all over his face. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to arouse the other party's goodwill.

Mu Xiaoling blinked. "Does the Crown Prince think that I'm good-looking?"

Xin Mingyun said, "Lady Feng's beautiful appearance actually makes us blush."

Mu Xiaoling asked again, "Do you like it?"

Xiao Yu frowned. Xin Mingyun was overjoyed in his heart, "I fell in love with this young lady at first sight."

"If that's the case, what a pity …" Mu Xiaoling shook her head.

Xin Mingyun didn't understand: "What's a pity?"

Mu Xiaoling replied with a smile, "It's a pity that we have already broken off the engagement and are on the same side as others. In fact, Ling'Er would have had to thank the Crown Prince for his consideration in cancelling the engagement. Otherwise, I would have had to beg for death in order to marry a scum like you."

"What!" Xin Mingyun was shocked, "You …" "You are …"

Mu Xiaoling blinked. "I'm Mu Xiaoling. Crown Prince, I don't know the names of my second and third younger sister. Does Crown Prince have a wife in his family?"

Xin Mingyun was so shocked that he staggered a few steps. He never thought that the ugly duckling that he had been looking down upon would have such a heavenly appearance after being reborn. If he had known … If he knew, he wouldn't have broken the engagement even if he was beaten to death!

"Little sister Ling'Er, I …"

"Don't mention it, Crown Prince. I didn't kill you because I'm a Swallow." Mu Xiaoling's voice suddenly turned cold. "But if one day you mistreat the people and kill the innocent, then even if I, Mu Xiaoling, am at the ends of the world, I will still take your head and not show any mercy."

Xin Mingyun took three large steps back until he was supported by the guards behind him. Then, he didn't fall to the ground. He knew that this woman wasn't joking. However, he wanted to say too much. Now that everything was stuck in his throat, he was unable to say a single word.

Mu Xiaoling couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to Xin Mingyun. She pulled Xiao Yu back to the Flowery Palace. Otherwise, looking at Xin Mingyun, she would be so disgusted that she wouldn't be able to eat.

Xiao Yu asked, "Where do you want to go next?"

Mu Xiaoling thought for a moment before replying, "I want to go to Ling Guo to take a look at that secret realm. I reckon it will start soon as well, so I might as well send Liu Chen to the Medicine God Valley. I want to see Little Wu."

"I'll listen to you." Xiao Yu muttered lovingly, "We'll leave now."

Mu Xiaoling didn't plan to bring Meng Yifan and Lin Ze along. After all, they were on a long journey and she didn't know what dangers were present. She wasn't at ease and felt that it would be better to stay here and monitor Xin Mingyun.

It would be nice if he could leave at this moment.

The two of them went back to their rooms to pack up their things before taking Liu Cheng out of the palace. There was already a carriage waiting outside the palace. The driver of the carriage was the slave Ta Xia that Mu Xiaoling had bought and he ran off.

When everyone wanted to look for the two of them, they discovered that they had long since disappeared. Only a letter of farewell was left behind.

Lin Xiangdie cried, "I want to go too! Elder sister Mu doesn't want me anymore!"

Meng Yifan felt his heart ache as he watched the scene. However, after this dream, he finally understood that it was impossible for him and Mu Xiaoling to ever let go of each other. It was time for him to let it go.

The horse carriage shot out of the capital like an arrow and headed towards the border.

There were only three people in the car: Mu Xiaoling, Xiao Yu and Liu Chen'er.

Mu Xiaoling looked at the carriage and asked curiously, "How did you find this place?" Ever since the incident in Cloudfall City, she and Ta Xia had been separated, she didn't expect to meet here.

While driving the carriage, Ta Xia said, "Servant asked around and found this place along the way. He coincidentally met Young Master Xiao and was arranged to continue being the coachman."

Tasha said it in a simple manner, but what happened on the road was not something that could be clearly said with just a few words, who knows how many times she would have to suffer.

Mu Xiaoling sighed. "I wanted to let you find a place to live if you're separated from others. Why are you running around with me?"

"Master bought the pagoda Xia, and the pagoda Xia's life belongs to Master." Tasha's words were very firm, and his world was also so simple.

Xiao Yu said, "Since we need a coachman, let him follow us."

Mu Xiaoling nodded in agreement.

The Medicine God Valley was located in a secluded area and even Mu Xiaoling couldn't find it. The only thing she knew was that it was located on top of Herb Mountain.

The four travelled day and night. Five days later, they arrived at the town at the foot of Herb Mountain.

The reason that Herb Mountain was called this was because it was a mountain that produced all sorts of medicinal herbs. There were also many medicinal herb farmers in the surroundings, and quite a few medical stores from other countries had come to purchase medicinal herbs.

The town below Herb Mountain was the only resting place for these pharmacists. Therefore, even though it was a town, its population was much more prosperous than an ordinary city.

The carriage stopped in front of an inn. Before the four of them got off the carriage, the worker at the entrance smiled and greeted them, "Dear guests, are you going to stay or do you want to fight?"

Mu Xiaoling jumped down from the car and looked around. "Let's fight first."

"Alright, please come in!" He dragged the carriage to the backyard, and another worker brought them upstairs to a private room.

Perhaps it was because it was close to Herb Mountain, but the food here was more or less related to medicine, and could be considered medicinal food.

The four of them looked at each other in dismay. When Mu Xiaoling heard this, she felt bitter. Xiao Yu helplessly smiled and personally ordered a table of dishes and wine.

Xiao Yu said: "We'll stay here first. The entrance to the Medicine God Valley is only opened at fifteen every month. There's still three days until the fifteenth day. There's no rush."

Mu Xiaoling nodded.

The waiter happened to be bringing a tray of dishes in, and upon hearing that, he smiled: "Guests, are you also going to the Medicine God Valley?"

Liu Chen'er raised her head in puzzlement. "You know?"

The assistant chuckled, "Nanny, I'm not afraid to tell you that the ones with the best eyes and ears in this town are us waiters, it's just that …"

Mu Xiaoling threw a silver ingot to him. "Speak."
