Zhou Yan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are a smart man. I guess you have guessed the relationship between me and Yan'er. However, this secret is only known to the people of the previous generation. Even Zhou Yue and Zhou Yang don't know about it. I hope that your Majesty
You can keep this secret."
Bai Yuxian nodded: "Of course."
Three days later, Bai Yuxian and others were preparing to leave Shangxiang Village and bid farewell to Zhou Beard in the green bamboo forest.
Zhou Yan was a little reluctant and persuaded: "Second uncle, why don't you go back to Zhoujiapu with me? You haven't been back for more than ten years. Everyone misses you. Besides, you can't stay here forever."
Are you here?"
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "Why not? I plan to spend the rest of my life here. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. There are no disturbances in the rivers and lakes. It is very quiet. Is it suitable for retirement?"
Zhou Yan shook her head helplessly and said: "Although Zhoujia Fort is not as beautiful as here, it is still very quiet. If you go back, we juniors can still honor you, wouldn't it be better?"
Zhou Yan shook his head and said: "I have become accustomed to living in the mountains and forests. When I went elsewhere, I didn't feel comfortable living there. I won't go back to Zhoujiapu with you this time. When I see your eldest and second brothers, please help me."
Just say hello."
Seeing Zhou Yan's determination, Zhou Yan also knew that she could not persuade him any more, so she sighed and said nothing more.
Bai Yuxian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior, for taking care of me these days. I will keep this kindness in mind and will definitely come back to express my gratitude."
Ye Fuxun also said: "Yes, senior detoxified the prince and saved his life. We will never forget this great kindness!"
Zhou Yan smiled and waved his hands, showing an impatient expression: "Okay, okay, if you want to leave, just leave quickly. I will be playing the piano and drinking tea in a while."
Several people said goodbye and left, but Zhou Yan did not actually go into the house to play the piano and drink tea. Instead, he stood in the courtyard and looked at the sky, and did not regain consciousness for a long time.
After the group returned to the town, it was time to say goodbye.
Bai Yuxian and Ye Fuxun were rushing back to the capital, while Zhou Yan was going back to Zhoujiapu in Qingcheng, traveling the same way as Situ Yunhao.
When leaving, Ye Fuxun thanked Situ Yunhao and Zhou Yan. Although Bai Yuxian didn't say much, he also expressed his gratitude to the two.
Zhou Yan was already very happy to receive a word of thanks from Bai Yuxian. With this joy, parting with him suddenly felt less sad.
It has been almost three months since they left the capital. Bai Yuxian and Ye Fuxun must rush back as soon as possible. Otherwise, with Yu Xiunan's shrewdness, they will become suspicious soon.
Several people traveled day and night, but it still took them nearly ten days to return to the capital.
It was around midnight in the morning. When they arrived near the eldest princess's mansion, a shadow guard hurried over and stopped them.
"My lord, you are finally back!"
Bai Yuxian frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"It's the second prince. In the past half month, the second prince seemed to have discovered something. He came to the princess's house several times and said he wanted to see the prince and the princess. However, his subordinates and others found excuses to fool him several times.
Just now, the second prince came to the door again, still insisting on seeing the prince, and said that if the prince refused to see him, he would force his way in, and he is sitting in the hall now. "
"This Yu Xiunan is really difficult to deal with." Ye Fuxun said angrily.
Bai Yuxian said: "Let's go back quickly."
Just like when they left, Ye Fuxun and Bai Yuxian also avoided the eyes and ears arranged by Yu Xiunan to monitor nearby, and quietly returned through the back door.
The last few times when Yu Xiunan came to visit, Gong Yun and others used the excuse that "the prince is ill in bed and cannot see guests" as an excuse, so this time when they went to see him, they had to pretend to be a patient.
After changing their clothes, the two of them headed towards the main hall.
"Yu Xiunan is a thoughtful person, you have to act realistically, otherwise it will be terrible if he finds out." Ye Fuxun reminded with a sarcastic tone.
In order to appear realistic, Ye Fuxun also deliberately put some white powder on Bai Yuxian's face to make him look quite pale. As long as you don't look closely, you can't tell the problem at all.
Bai Yuxian smiled and said, "I know. But when it comes to acting, you are better at it."
Ye Fuxun knew that he was making fun of himself, so he suppressed a smile and rolled his eyes at him, saying, "It's a pity that I'm not the one who has been sick for more than a month now."
Talking and laughing, the two came to the hall, where Yu Xiunan was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his hands.
"I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting here for so long." Ye Fuxun helped Bai Yuxian walk in and said with a smile.
Yu Xiunan immediately stared at Bai Yuxian, observing his every move and expression. He saw that his face was pale, his eyes were lifeless, and he had lost a lot of weight. He looked shaky even when he walked. He looked completely sick.
The appearance of a seedling.
Although he was indeed suspicious, the reason why he was so anxious to see Bai Yuxian was to take a look at his situation and then propose to Ye Fuxun about going up the mountain to find the treasure.
"Oh?" Ye Fuxun raised his eyebrows and asked, "I wonder what the second emperor brother wants from me?"
"It's about the treasure. I have decided to set off to get the treasure next month. I hope you will prepare and come with me then."
Ye Fuxun looked shocked and asked: "Do you have a treasure map? Do you know where the treasure is?"
Yu Xiunan smiled profoundly: "Of course, I have already said that I have a way to get the treasure map."
"How did you get it?" Ye Fuxun looked angry, "Did you do anything to Maple Grove Villa? What did you do to my grandpa?"
Yu Xiunan said: "Don't worry, I didn't harm anyone in Maple Grove Villa."
Ye Fuxun seemed to be relieved, paused and said: "It seems that I have to obey your orders this time."
"That's natural, unless you don't want to detoxify His Highness Prince Chen." Yu Xiunan looked at Bai Yuxian with a proud look in his eyes, "You must have been very uncomfortable with these poisonous attacks, right?
"
Bai Yuxian let out a feeble smile and said: "Yes, it is not only very uncomfortable, it is simply worse than death. The Jixin Pill is truly a heart-stimulating poison."
"I think Sixth Sister doesn't want to see the prince continue to suffer, right? So it's better to obey my arrangements."
Ye Fuxun glared at Yu Xiunan fiercely, but the hatred she felt at this moment was not fake, because whenever she thought of Bai Yuxian's appearance when he was poisoned, she wanted to kill him with a knife.
"Okay, I will listen to your arrangement, as long as you can hand over the antidote when the time comes."
"That's natural. As long as the purpose is achieved, I will give the antidote immediately." Yu Xiunan was very satisfied.
After Yu Xiunan left, Bai Yuxian took off his disguise and returned to normal.
"We will leave in a month, we still have some time to prepare," Ye Fuxun said thoughtfully, "If Yu Xiunan cannot find the treasure, he will not give up. Therefore, in order to avoid future troubles, the best way is to kill him
