Yu Wan resisted the urge to show off and said calmly, âWe went to the Ghost Clan, the Nether Capital, and the Sorcerer Clan.â
âI know about the Ghost Clan. What kind of place are the Nether Capital and the Sorcerer Clan?â Dong Xianâer had never heard of these before.
âThe Nether Capital is the new capital of the Ghost Clanâ¦â Yu Wan picked the main point and told Dong Xianâer about the relationships between the places.
Dong Xianâer felt that her understanding had suffered a strong impact. What Saintess? Wasnât the Sorcerer King long gone? Why did she hear from Ah Wan that the two mysterious hidden clans were still standing tall in the world? And they were incompatible?
It would probably take more than three days and three nights to explain it to Dong Xianâer. However, it was obvious that they were leaving for the Great Zhou tomorrow morning.
Although Dong Xianâer was also curious, the most important thing now was to quickly grab Helian Sheng. She held Yu Wanâs hand and said, âAlright, when I become your sister-in-law in the future, Iâll have time to chat with you. Tell me in detail when I have the chance. Iâll go look for your brother first.â
âActuallyâ¦â Yu Wanâs impression of Dong Xianâer was not bad. She even liked her a little. She could not help but remind her, âThere are skills to pursue a person. To grab a manâs heart, you have to grab hisââ
Yu Wan touched her stomach. Back then, the reason why she could charm Yan Jiuchao was more or less because of her peerless culinary skills.
âAt that time, Yan Jiuchao and I were like this. Do you understand?â Yu Wan
winked at Dong Xianâer.
Dong Xianâer widened her eyes and looked at Yu Wanâs⦠stomach. Yu Wanâs stomach was too big. She thought that she was touching her stomach, but in Dong Xianâerâs eyes, it was another hint.
Didnât Ah Wan and Yan Jiuchao get married because of the children? She understood, she understood too well!
Dong Xianâer smiled evilly. âGood idea! The next time I catch him, Iâll just do him! Whatâs done is done! Iâll bring a child to his door! Letâs see if he admits it!â
Yu Wan: âUhâ¦
I donât think thatâs what I meant, Heroine. Have you misunderstood something?
Dong Xianâer left in high spirits!
Yu Wan looked in the direction where Dong Xianâer had left and clicked her fingers. She swore that she really didnât mean to trick her brotherâ¦
Madam Tan went to prepare dinner. Yu Wan accompanied Helian Beiming back to the courtyard. Yu Wan asked about Prince Yan and Shangguan Yan. Helian Beiming said, âPrince Yan has returned to the Great Zhou. He went to prepare herbs for Jiuchao.â
Yu Wan blinked strangely. âHow does Father know about the herbs?â
Helian Beiming smiled and said, âAh, he asked Old Cui in private. Old Cui gave him a prescription. There are a few herbs on the prescription that are only available in the Great Zhou, and they have to be freshly picked. Prince Yan said that he will find the herbs first and plant them in the manor. When Jiuchao returns, they can be used directly.â
It was like something Prince Yan would do.
Yu Wan thought that the last place he was willing to return to might be the Great Zhou, but for his son, he could put down any knot in his heart.
Helian Beiming continued, âXiao Zhenting and Mrs. Xiao have also returned to the capital.â
Xiao Zhenting had been ordered to go south. Since Prince Yan had already returned to the Great Zhou, Xiao Zhenting naturally had no reason to continue staying in the south.
âThey didnât expose themselves, right?â Yu Wan asked.
Helian Beiming said, âYouâre talking about Xiao Zhenting coming to the Imperial Capital of Nanzhao? The news really leaked. However, the Emperor denied it. The Emperor drafted a letter to the Emperor of the Great Zhou and said that he had never seen Xiao Zhenting in the Capital. He even said that his generals even fought with Xiao Zhenting at the border. This matter passed just like that.â
When they left the Great Zhou, Shangguan Yan was already a few months pregnant. Calculating the days, her child should be born last month at the latest. She wondered if she had given Yan Jiuchao a sister or a brother.
Since the Emperor was mentioned, Helian Beiming talked about Consort Yun. ââ¦So Consort Yun isnât from the Shen family. I heard that an otherworldly expert came and claimed to be Consort Yunâs biological father.â
Yu Wanâs eyes sparkled. âItâs Great Grandpa! Did Uncle see him?â
Helian Beiming shook his head. âHeâs guarding Consort Yunâs palace. I donât have a chance to see him. You call him Great Grandpa⦠Have you seen him?â
âYes! We met Grandaunt Lan and Great Grandpa when we went to the Nether Capital.â Yu Wan told Helian Beiming about the Ghost Clan and the Nether Capital.
Helian Beiming was so shocked that he was speechless. If he didnât know Ah Wanâs personality, he would probably have thought that this girl was making things up. The powerful Ghost Clan⦠was actually just an imprisoned descendant? The real Ghost Clan had actually moved the Capital!
And the Nether Capitalâs Lan Clan was actually a descendant of the Sacred Clan. In that case⦠Consort Yun, her sister-in-law, Ah Wan, and even the three little black eggs were all descendants of the Sacred Clan?
This news was too shocking!
âThen the blood of the Saintessâ¦â Helian Beiming looked at Yu Wan.
Yu Wan patted her chest proudly. âOf course itâs my blood! Iâm a very powerful Saintess! You didnât expect this, did you? I searched high and low for it, only to find you without any effort! However, I didnât go to the Nether Capital for nothing. After all, I saw Grandaunt and Great Grandpa. Also, I found clues to the Sorcerer Clan.â
Helian Beiming sighed. âYour trip has been an eye-opener.â The medicinal primer was a huge gain, but what they saw and heard along the way was also a very precious experience. To them, this was something that no amount of gold could exchange for.
âIâll go into the palace to look for them,â Yu Wan said.
Helian Beiming stopped her. âYouâre a step late. The Emperor brought them to
Pu City to avoid the heat.â
In order to please his father-in-law, the Emperor went all out. He, who had never been extravagant, actually learned from the Emperor of the Central Plains to avoid the heat. The officials were also brought over. The court and politics were dealt with in Pu City.
Helian Beiming smiled and said, âDonât worry, Consort Yun is doing well.â
A child with a father was a treasure. Sikong Ye almost doted on Consort Yun to the heavens. It was said that all the masters in Nanzhao who were good at making red braised pork had been kidnapped by Sikong Ye.
Thatâs right, kidnap.
They were still sleeping at night. When they opened their eyes, they were in Pu Cityâs palace. The chefs were on the verge of collapse!!!
Yu Wan was relieved to hear that her grandmother was doing well. One had to know that there were so many family members in Nanzhao, and what she was most worried about was Consort Yun. The Matriarch had such filial children and grandchildren to take care of her while Consort Yun was too lonely.
Now that Sikong Ye doted on her, she could finally live a life of being doted on.
Helian Beiming said, âThereâs nothing serious in Nanzhao. Everyone is fine, so you donât have to worry. On the other hand, you might have to understand the situation in the Great Zhou.â
âWhatâs⦠wrong with the Great Zhou?â Yu Wan asked.
Helian Beiming said with a solemn expression, âI only received the news a few days ago. The Emperor of the Great Zhou has fallen ill and canât attend court. Now, the Empress will listen to the politics and Prince Jing will supervise the country.â
Prince Jing? Wasnât that the Second Prince, Yan Huaijing?
