and could not marry, they would continue to bear offspring. As long as someone came with a token to fulfill the promise, the Rong王府 must agree to it. Of course, every generation of Rong王府 descendants...Chapter 56

Princely Uncle Yun stared intently at Yun Muhan, his face filled with worry. Seeing the slight change in Yun Muhan's expression, he felt a tremor in his heart as well. After waiting for half an hour and seeing no response from Yun Muhan, he anxiously asked, "How is she…"

Yun Muhan remained silent for a moment before slowly releasing the hand he had been holding. He glanced at Yun Qianmo once more before addressing Princely Uncle Yun, "She has lost her martial arts skills but other than that, she's extremely weak and nothing seems out of the ordinary."

"That’s good, that’s good. Losing one’s martial arts isn’t a big deal; it can be regained," said Princely Uncle Yun as his tense heart relaxed. He turned to leave, muttering on the way out, "I will go and thank Young Lord Xie for his great kindness. Without him, I really cannot imagine what would have happened!"

Yun Qianmo watched silently as Princely Uncle Yun left without attempting to stop him. Yun Muhan also did not make any attempt to dissuade him.

Just as Princely Uncle Yun reached the doorway, he heard Mo Li’s voice from outside calling out, "Miss, the Crown Prince and Fourth Young Prince have arrived!"

"Tell them I want rest and won’t be seeing anyone," Yun Qianmo coldly ordered.

“Qianmo, isn't it better to see them They’re coming for you,” Princely Uncle Yun stopped in his tracks as he turned towards her. Seeing her stern face, he sighed softly before saying, "The Crown Prince hasn’t slept these three days and nights either; he has been sending people to search for you and Lord Xie..."

“Hmph, I doubt that’s true. He's only trying to cover up the truth,” Yun Qianmo coldly sneered. She didn’t believe Ye Tianqiong was innocent. Especially since their chance encounter at the wishing tree; she wouldn't believe he went there to pray for Empress Dowager on such a late hour. Also, from the moment she smelled that unusual fragrance at the tree, she had felt ill and weak ever since.

“What do you mean” Princely Uncle Yun was surprised by this.

"That day when I went to pray at the wishing tree, I ran into Ye Tianqiong. Afterward, my emotions were stirred up by the aphrodisiac. Think about it—if Ren Jiong hadn’t been there, I would have either died or suffered greatly at Ye Tianqiong’s hands," Yun Qianmo bluntly replied. It was obvious what she meant by suffering. Ye Tianqiong had no thousand mountain snow lotus pills to save him; he only had himself. She coldly mocked, "Don’t you think his appearance is too coincidental He could have prayed for the Empress Dowager earlier or later, but why would it be at that particular moment and time of night"

Princely Uncle Yun's face changed several times as he looked out the window. Seeing Ye Tianqiong and Ye Tianyu stopped by Mo Li, he turned back to Yun Qianmo with a low voice, "We need to investigate this slowly without jumping to conclusions without evidence. It might just be a coincidence, after all, that’s the Crown Prince."

"Alright," Yun Qianmo agreed.

Seeing she truly had no intention of meeting them, Princely Uncle Yun nodded and said, "Since you don’t want to see them, it’s best not to. You really should rest well now. I’ll go to Lord Xie first and stay at Lingtai Temple tonight; I'll come back later." With that, he didn't wait for her response as he stepped out of the room.

"I will also visit Lord Xie," Yun Muhuan stood up.

“Alright,” Yun Qianmo nodded.

Yun Muhuan then walked away.

The moment Prince Night Tianqing and Prince Night Tianyu saw Princely Uncle Yun and Yun Muhuan come out, they both turned to look at them. Ye Tianqiong immediately asked anxiously, "Uncle Cloud, how is Younger Sister Moon Is she badly injured I have already sent people into the capital to bring two female doctors from Imperial Hospital for her medical examination."

Princely Uncle Yun was taken aback and looked at Ye Tianqiong, saying, “Prince Crown has mobilized a large army. Have you forgotten that Muhuan is also skilled in medicine He just examined Shallow Moon, who only lost her martial arts skill but is otherwise fine. You can rest assured!”

Ye Tianqiong's face turned stiff as he looked at Yun Muhuan and hid his emotions before smiling and saying, “I was so anxious that I forgot about the Cloud Marquisate’s son’s medical skills. Since Venerable Lingyin is a monk, it would be inconvenient for him to examine Younger Sister Moon. Therefore, I sent people to Imperial Hospital for two female doctors.”

“Prince Crown can send someone later to inform them that there's no need to mobilize a large army,” Princely Uncle Yun suggested.

"Forget it, the more medical help, the better. The female doctors from Imperial Hospital are specialized in treating women and know how to nourish Younger Sister Moon. There’s no harm in letting them come," Ye Tianqiong said.

“If that's the case, then fine,” Princely Uncle Yun nodded.

Yun Muhuan gave Ye Tianqiong a cold glance as he said, "Younger Sister Moon doesn't like the arts and has always loved martial arts. Losing her skills must be heart-wrenching for her." His eyes were filled with ice beneath his indifferent gaze.

"Yes, she’s been fond of martial arts," Princely Uncle Yun sighed. “But Shallow Moon was never proficient in it anyway; she can always learn again later. There's no need to worry too much about that.”

“Cloud Marquis is mistaken. Younger Sister Moon's skills were actually quite good, especially her agility," Night Tianyu said. "Even my agility isn't as good as hers. It's only natural for her to feel upset at having lost it."

"I didn’t know Shallow Moon’s agility was so good; I am ashamed," Princely Uncle Yun said, feeling guilty.

“Over the years, you've been assisting my father in governing the dynasty and have naturally neglected your family,” Ye Tianqiong sighed. “Let me go see Younger Sister Moon now to comfort her. Even if she can’t regain her skills, I will personally teach her.”

Princely Uncle Yun was taken aback; he didn't expect Ye Tianqiong’s attitude towards Shallow Moon had changed so drastically from his previous cold and distant treatment of her. Did the prince now care for Shallow Moon to the extent that he wanted to teach her martial arts himself

“She's sleeping right now, Prince,” Yun Muhuan said calmly. “After three days without food or rest, she’s bound to be exhausted.”

"Indeed, when I arrived earlier, I thought Younger Sister Moon must have already fallen asleep," Night Tianyu added. "We'll wait until she wakes up."

“Alright then,” Ye Tianqiong agreed.

The prince and the Fourth Prince decided to proceed to the Bodhidharma Hall to consult with Venerable Master Ciyun about what had happened, as Shallow Moon and Jing Shizi were now safe.

Inside the room, Yun Shallowmoon was already lying in bed wrapped up in a blanket asleep.

Cailian, Tingyu, and Tingsnow quietly left after she returned unharmed. As they hadn’t slept for three days either, they were now also sleeping.

In the main room of Jing Shizi’s residence, Master Lingyin had finished taking his pulse after he ate and bathed. Though weak, Jing Shizi wasn't sleepy at all. Master Lingyin's expression kept changing from surprise to astonishment to excitement as he held Jing Shizi's hand for a long time before looking up at him.

“Amitabha!” the master chanted solemnly.

"What is your assessment, Master" Jing Shizi smiled and asked.raised an eyebrow to look at Yun Qianmo. "I used to know that Rong Jing has some shady skills, but now I find out he can really reach the heavens."Yun Qianmo remained silent.Nan Lingrui continued, "Li...
