This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

On this day, the sky was clear, the three children of the Yue family along with the Grand Emperor and Grand Empress went to the imperial garden, together. It was currently springtime, flowers were at the peak of bloom while the bees and butterflies are busy gathering nectar. Yue Xin’er took out a small porcelain bottle to gather the flower’s dew, while the others sat in the pavilion savoring Yue Xin’er’s original ‘Moon wind floss’. The dew was from the first day of spring, Yue Xin’er would use it for refining to make hundred flowers wine. The undisturbed appearance of the dust is a little thin in face of the sun, it feels like the sun’s rays and a gust of wind could easily blow it away. This was a pleasant morning, but such peace was broken due to the intrusion of a voice.

At a certain distance, a minister stood by a stone table, reporting a matter to Yue Feng. Yue Xin’er was able to see his frown. She handed the porcelain bottle to the maid next to her, allowing them to continue to talk among themselves, as she walked towards the stone table.

○ 月楓 Yue Feng: Current Emperor, the son of the Grand Emperor who abdicated the throne, and is living a carefree life (He pushed everything onto his son)

“Imperial brother, what’s the matter?” Although Yue Xin’er did not like politics but seeing him so worried, she feared a major event such as a natural disaster has occurred!

“Xin’er, You came in time! The Luo River flooded the southern area and submerged it. It also caused a plague. In recent days, due to the attack of the Qing City, all the food and supplies were given to the army. Nowadays, the domestic food supply is insufficient. In addition, a number of doctors have been transferred to support the army. It is also lacking in medicine, with food shortages, and the lack of medical doctors ah! ”

As soon as she heard him, the beautiful lady frowns at him, what she then said was colder than ice, “This is great, you didn’t discuss with me and dared to send troops to Jing Lou Pass without authorization, as of now the state treasury is empty, where do you place the common people?”

Yue Feng wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and gave a glance toward Yue Haotian as if begging for help while groaning in his heart, how could she still have more momentum than me? “That’s not it, you once said that you liked Qing City, I wanted to win it and give it to you as a birthday gift, who knew…”

“Is this an excuse you can use? Preposterous!” Yue Xin’er waved her sleeve, and the people around dare not speak. “Let it pass, I will deal with this matter, tomorrow I will go to Southern Wei, during this time you must deal with it properly, otherwise…”

Really did not have face, ah, this Emperor was really useless, when he heard her intimidation he dare not mess up. But this was also his willingness, after all, this little sister has been much better than Yue Ling, and with her help, these days have been much more comfortable.

After bidding farewell to her family, Yue Xin’er brought the four gatekeepers, Chi Wu, Cheng Feng, Zi Yuan, Qing Niao on the boat bound for Southern Wei. Only some herbs were on board, while the rest of the herb and food were taking the land route. She did not intend to bring too much, she prepared to use Crescent Moon Palace’s token to gather herbal supplies from the local medicinal shops after arriving at Southern Wei. Then let Chi Wu report to the godly doctor’s Gate, so that all the people under the Gate would rush to Southern Wei.

○ Godly doctor’s gate: also a sect, like Crescent moon palace, but filled with people who are adept in medicine

The sky was a bit gloomy and depressing, experienced sailors knew that a big storm was coming. Yue Xin’er stood on the bow of the boat, holding something in her hands while thinking, she gave orders to the four Gatekeepers. The sails have come down, and the seas are rough and swaying. A flash of lightning flashed over the horizon, and then only loud thunder was heard, heavy downpours began and the ship shook even more.

“Listen, if something happens, don’t panic. I will not die. You must go to Southern Wei according to your original plan. I will go to Ji Province to join you.” Yue Xin’er calmly stated that the storm did not worry her, she could not die so easily, her task has yet to be completed, the Heavens would not take her back so easily.

The four people looked at each other with a dignified face, they clasped their fists and said: “This subordinate obeys the orders, we will try our best to solve the difficulties of Southern Wei.”

As soon as their voice fell, a big wave hit, Yue Xin’er was hit by the wave and carried into the ocean, her figure soon disappeared, the remaining four finally managed to stabilize their bodies, and looked up to find that Yue Xin’er has disappeared. “Master, master…” At one time, the sea was full of shouts, accompanied by thunder and rain, the sounds eventually died down. Yue Xin’er was immersed in water for a long time, she began to swim hard, in the end, she got exhausted and fainted, drifting in the sea.

Originally she thought she had died, who knew that when she opened her eyes, she found that she was in a familiar cabin, similar to one she had lived before. Her entire body felt an unspeakable soreness, it seems this storm was really strong. Yue Xin’er was about to get up when the door suddenly opened, and a handsome young man came in with a bowl of medicine. Seeing that she was awake, the young man’s eyes curved like the bright moon, he quickly went to support her.

“Miss, you have awoken.” The man sat on the edge of the bed and smiled like a spring flower, as a child under the sun, it made a person’s heart warm up. His laugh felt like it had a hint of evil, with elegance.

“Who are you? DId you save me?” Yue Xin’er felt a bit strange, she felt that he was somehow familiar, but she could not think of where. Only his temperament, gave people a cynical feeling, but it is currently not showing.

The man said with a smile: “I am Mu Tianchen, I am the one who saved you” Then he glanced at her again, “But the clothes on your body were not changed by me.”

“You…” Yue Xin’er blushed, she pushed back the quilt to take a look, her clothes really have been changed, she then realized that the veil was no longer on her face. “No matter what, thank you, gongzi, for your life-saving grace.”

Mu Tianchen saw her blush, she was tender and pleasant, he stared at her for a while, it was a long time before he recovered, she was truly a stunning beauty! “I dare ask Miss’ name?”

Yue Xin’er looked at him with vigilance, although he was her savior, because of her special status, she would not allow herself to become a tool for others to threaten Jingyue Kingdom, therefore, she seldom told others her real name. After some consideration, she decided to tell him her real name, just that her surname is too special, she feared everyone would know her identity, so she only said her name was ‘Xin’er’. In her heart, she felt that Mu Tianchen would not hurt her, so she did not have her guard up around him.

The two talked for a while, Yue Xin’er knows that he is a merchant because he was on his way to the TianXiang Kingdom when he met with the storm, he saw her in the water and saved her, he also got someone to change her clothes. In fact, Yue Xin’er did not believe him, a merchant would not have the aura of a king, and his name reminds her of something she came across recently. However, since he refused to speak, then she did not ask, she believes that he has his own ideas! She did not tell him the truth as well. They could be considered equal. Only this appearance was actually seen by him, if something happened, she feared that he would not be able to place blame on her. So she asked him to find a veil to cover her face, but he rejected, and she had to tell her own difficulties to him. Even though he knew, he said: “It’s nonsense, you have been seen by me, and you want to cover your face, maybe it is better for me to be with you!”

After lying in bed for two days, her body finally recovered, she stretched and opened the door to walk out. It was noisy at the moment she opened the door. Everyone was shocked by her unique beauty, such god-like holiness, a white dress that looked like a fairy, a pair of crystal-like eyes, and an orchid imprint on her forehead, the whole person seems to be with a hint of charm with pure coldness. Her beauty could move a person’s heart and make a person feel as if they were in heaven, she seemed to have walked out of a painting.

Mu Tianchen felt regret, he should not have let her come out without wearing a veil, her shocking beauty would make everyone fall in love with her. At that moment, he felt that she would go with the wind and disappear from the world forever, so he hurriedly reached out and held her.

“Don’t go, Xin’er.” Mu Tianchen buried his head in her jade neck, as his lips whispered into her earlobe.

He never thought Yue Xin’er would push him on the board and take a few steps back to the side. Mu Tianchen did not expect Yue Xin’er to have such a reaction and was caught off guard. Looking at the beautiful woman again, her face was red, she looked at him with anger and annoyance. He couldn’t help but feel happy, this little girl really didn’t have a deep understanding of the world, seeing her shyness made one feel love and pity.

“Oh, Xin’er, I’ve fallen to death, are you trying to murder your husband?” Mu Tianchen turned his train of thought, he gave a look of being wronged to see how she would react, who knew she did not spare him a glance and walked back to her room. When Mu Tianchen saw her ignore him, he quickly got up, gave a wide smile and went in with her.

Yue Xin’er closed the door, leaving him outside, no matter how noisy he was she still refused to open the door, perhaps if he waited for a while, he would grow bored and leave. Thinking back, the scene of Mu Tianchen embracing her was on her mind, there was a strange feeling in her, it made her heart beat wildly and uncontrollably. Heavens, what happened to me? Did I my cultivation deviate to the demons? She closed her eyes, but the scene was now even clearer. She silently recited the《Jin Gang Sutra》, her mind becomes clearer, perhaps she should not get involved with him that much, after all, they got to know each other through a coincidence. Besides, it was imperative that they go to Southern We first, the people are awaiting salvation! She secretly made a decision, once they arrived in Southern Wei, she would part ways with him!

○ 《Jin Gang Sutra》: Buddhist scripture used to calm the heart and mind when recited

Looking at Mu Tianchen, when he enters the room, he realizes that she has suddenly intruded on the beauty, and he is afraid she will be there to discipline him. When he thinks of the beauty’s faint scent, his heart couldn’t help but skip a beat. He was not the type of person to fall in love with beauty, it was just certain factors, and gestures that confused him, he truly hugged her involuntarily. It seems that her charm really cannot be underestimated, it is no wonder that people would feel respect towards her.

On the other side, because Yue Xin’er had gotten swept away by the wave, her followers were worried, they left a ship and continued to search for her on the sea, the other boats were taken towards Southern Wei, they also got Crescent Moon Palace to help search. Although they were worried about her safety when they thought about what she had said at the beginning, she had a love for the people of her Kingdom, she was ready to go to Southern Wei to help the victims of natural disaster.
