"Yes."
That afternoon, Yan Yuan hurriedly entered the palace and headed straight for the library.
If one could find the lost song from that year, they could then combine it with the snake shaped drawings Qi Feng had drawn to determine just what the "Snake Language" was.
"Your Highness, what kind of book do you want? This lowly one can find it for you."
Seeing that Yan Yuan had not found the book he needed even after two hours, the librarian in charge of guarding the library could not help but walk towards him.
He was in charge of the library, so his understanding of the books should naturally be better than that of the Prince Jing. After making the prince search for the books for so long, he still wasn't able to find the books he was looking for, otherwise, it would be dereliction of duty on his part.
Yan Yuan was quiet for a few seconds, but he still waved his hand at the bookkeeper: "No need, I'll just take a look, you busy yourself."
Since Yan Yuan had said it like that, the scribe would naturally not insist, and said: "Yes, this humble servant will take his leave."
Yan Yuan did not plan to tell anyone the book he was looking for. Although it looked calm and peaceful right now, it was not.
The Shen Ji Hall had always been restless, and it was very likely that she had now allied with the King Wei, and the Northwest Army had secretly allied with the Western Regions. In other words, You Miao could very likely have connections with the King Wei in the capital.
At that time, even a palace maid by Yun Jiao Rong's side could be a People from the Divine Artefact Hall, so it was difficult to protect the imperial palace without a People from the Divine Artefact Hall.
Thus, he could not easily trust these people.
Yan Yuan continued to search in the library, but he was not confident at all.
If you can't find that music manual, even if you know how to contact You Miao, it would be useless. You don't even know what they are talking about.
The library in the palace was very large. In order not to alert the enemy, he could only search for them by himself, one by one.
Since it was a solo account, it shouldn't be placed in a conspicuous place.
After he had finished flipping through most of the books in the library, he saw a yellow pear wood box placed at the bottom of the library in a corner. He stepped forward and moved the boxes away, taking the yellow pear wood box with him.
The lock on the box was gone. Looking at the color of the yellow pear wood, it should have been left untouched for over twenty years.
As expected, there was a musical manual inside, written in the Western Region. As Yan Yuan had been fighting with the Western Region for a few years, he was not unfamiliar with the Western Region's language.
When he saw the words in the book, he knew that it was what he was looking for.
He put the book into his wide sleeve and the yellow pear wood box into place, then walked out of the library.
The scribe, seeing that he did not take anything from him, did not dare to ask any more questions. He only thought that the young man did not find the book he was looking for.
"Respectfully sending off your highness."
Returning to the Duke Palaces, Yan Yuan called Liu Ruo Qing, who was playing happily together with the young son in the east courtyard, and went to the study room.
"What are you doing?"
"Do me a favor."
He pulled Liu Ruo Qing to his side and sat him down. Then, he took out the serpent diagram that Qi Feng had drawn before and placed it in front of him.
"This is the snake diagram I made Qi Feng watch over You Miao's snakes for the past few days. This was originally from the flute we heard the other day, and every song represents a movement in the snake language. When we compared the flute with each other, we would know what movement the song represented."
Liu Ruo Qing understood immediately, "Isn't it faster for Qi Feng and the others to do this?"
"They're just a bunch of tough guys who don't understand the music at all."
"…"
Poor hidden guards, they were all avoided by their masters just like that.
Liu Ruo Qing knew that this matter had to be done secretly, and since the secret guard did not understand the music, he could only ask for her help.
It had been half a month since Yan Yuan's poison had been detoxified. At the start, You Miao was confident that Yan Yuan would find a chance to take her in as his secondary wife, but after waiting for half a month without any movement, she started to panic.
It couldn't be that the prince had forgotten about her, right?
Thinking of this, You Miao started to become anxious, she felt that it was time for her to take the initiative.
As a result, she personally made a cup of tonic. After finding out that Yan Yuan was in the study room, she could not wait and rushed there.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the study, he heard Yan Yuan's furious voice, which came from the second floor of the study, "Liu Ruo Qing, don't take things too far. Since ancient times, which man wasn't born with three wives and four concubines? This king has been married to you for two years without a single concubine in his life, and it's rare for this king to fall in love with a woman today.
You Miao's footsteps paused for a moment. Yan Yuan's words caused her heart to be instantly overjoyed. The woman that the Duke was talking about, was definitely her.
So it turned out that the Duke had always been intending to accept her. It was only the Crown Princess Jing who stopped him, which was why he was able to drag things out until today.
Humph! She really was a jealous woman. She actually wanted to take over the prince by herself.
In the future, the Prince would love her even more. After a long time, the position of the Crown Princess Jing would become hers, no?
The more he thought about it, the more excited You Miao became, and even the hand holding the tray began to tremble.
For the past few days, the people outside had been urging her to go back, and she had been perfunctorily dealing with them. After the prince accepts her, she will tell him about them and if the prince finds out, he will definitely value her even more.
Just as he was thinking about that, he saw the door to the study room on the second floor being opened quickly by someone. Liu Ruo Qing covered his face and ran out with a choked voice.
"Yan Yuan, you are really great, I gave you a son in ten months, this is how you treat me, you bastard!"
"Scram!" Get the hell out of this prince's mansion, then come back here when you've thought things through! "
"Scram! Scram!" "Get lost, I'm not coming back!"
Liu Ruo Qing's voice was filled with hysteria as she rushed down the stairs in a rage and ran to the entrance of the courtyard. When she saw You Miao, she stopped in her tracks and revealed a sinister look of anger.
You Miao saw that her eyes were red, it seemed that she had been crying for a long time.
She pursed her lips and laughed until she heard the sound of footsteps and saw Yan Yuan walking over. Only then did she quickly stop her smile and look at Yan Yuan's face filled with anger.
"Your Highness, the wangfei, she …" "What's wrong?"
Seeing You Miao, Yan Yuan's expression immediately eased up a bit, "Don't worry about her. This duke doesn't even want to mention her right now."
He looked at the tray in You Miao's hands and asked, "This is for this king?"
"En, You Miao saw that the Prince has been busy these past few days, and even lost a few rounds, so he made the decision to make a stew for you.
Yan Yuan looked at the cup of supplements, then quietly stared at You Miao for a while, his lips curved into a smile, "In the end, you are still sensible, much more sensible than that woman."
A blush suddenly surfaced on You Miao's face as her eyes shyly drooped down, to the point where she did not notice the cold glint that flashed past Yan Yuan's eyes.
