Hearing this, Yan Lingjun nodded, "Well, OK."

"Her Highness must have got up. You need to pretend to see the princess off, Your Highness." Liu Ling continued.

"OK." Yan Lingjun replied.

He added, "I will leave first. Let's gather here then."

"OK." Liu Ling nodded.

Then Yan Lingjun turned to leave. Seeing the view of Yan Lingjun's back, Liu Ling didn't know how to deal with it.

If nothing happened, the princess would say nothing. If not, he would be the sinner of Beiling.

As Yan Lingjun's good friend, he knew Yan Lingjun had expected the journey to the Arctic Mountain. Thinking of this, Liu Ling frowned and didn't know whether the journey of Yan Lingjun was happiness or misfortune.

Yan Luo was ready for it.

In the lobby, Yang Zijin, Pei Moning, and Jiang Wei had already been here.

So had been other senior heads.

Not seeing Runyu, Yang Zijin asked Pei Moning in a low voice, "Bro, where is Master Run?"

"I am afraid he is lost in his lover." Pei Moning smirked.

Hearing this, Yang Zijin gave Pei Moning a disdainful look.

Meanwhile, Yang Zijin saw Runyu and Yan Wanchu walking here hand in hand.

Seeing this, Yang Zijin widened her eyes, looked at Pei Moning, and thought about what happened between them because their relationship developed too fast.

Yesterday, Aunt Yan Luo asked her about Runyu, so Yang Zijin knew Aunt Yan Luo must inquire about their relationship.

She never thought Aunt Yan Luo was so open-minded. From their performance, Aunt Yan Luo must agree with their relationship.

Seeing this, Yang Zijin couldn't help showing appreciation for Aunt Yan Luo.

For ancient people, a man couldn't stay with a woman if they didn't get married. If they knew their children, especially girls, fell in love with others, they would consider it as a shame.

She never thought Aunt Yan Luo wasn't affected by secularity.

"Mum and Dad." Yan Wanchu smiled and said.

Yan Luo and Ruan Yien nodded.

Yan Wanchu saw Yang Zijin whose disguise in appearance had been taken away. Seeing her appearance, Yan Wanchu felt surprised and never thought Infanta Qingcheng looked quite the same as her although she heard that Infanta Qingcheng was similar to her.

Yan Wanchu released Runyu's hand, walked to Yang Zijin, and looked at her carefully, "I heard my mom said that you looked the same as me. Today I see you and find what she said is true. I see you as if I were looking into the mirror."

Yang Zijin looked at her and smiled, "I am not as gentle as you, Sister Wanchu."

Hearing what Yang Zijin said, Yan Wanchu lowered her head and smiled.

When she was about to say something, Yan Lingjun also walked in.

"Mum and Dad, everyone is present." Yan Lingjun walked into the room and said.

At this time, Yan Lingjun glanced at where Yang Zijin stood and felt surprised about why there were two Wanchu.

Thinking of this, Yan Lingjun suddenly thought that Liu Ling said Infanta Qingcheng looked almost the same as Wanchu.

Although he heard of this before, he couldn't help feeling surprised when he saw them standing together.

"Lingjun, we must face some troubles on the way to the Arctic Mountain. And the location of the treasure hasn't been decided. It will last one month, half a year, or even much more time. You need to stay here to learn to manage things from your grandfather and Minister Liu." Yan Luo said to Yan Lingjun.

Hearing this, Yan Lingjun nodded, "Don't worry, mum. I am grown up and won't live up to your expectation."

Hearing what Yan Lingjun said, Yan Luo breathed a sigh of relief because she had been worried that the kid wouldn't make a scene and wanted to go to the Arctic Mountain. She never thought he agreed with it, which was beyond her expectation.

Then she thought Yan Lingjun was grown up and became mature.

"OK. Minister Ruan and Minister Liu, thank you for looking after Lingjun later." Yan Luo said and looked at Ruan Ji and Liu Qiubai.

Hearing what Yan Luo said, Ruan Ji and Liu Qiubai replied with their hands cupped, "Don't worry, Your Highness."

"OK. It is not early. We need to leave." Meanwhile, Yan Luo stood up.

Then she turned to walk outside.

"Goodbye, Your Highness. Wish you come back early." The men behind her said with their hands cupped.

Yang Zijin and others followed her and walked out.

After they left, Yan Lingjun turned and said, "Grandpa and Minister Liu, I suddenly think of something to inform my mother. I'll go to tell her right now."

Meanwhile, he ran out of the room.

Seeing this, Ruan Ji frowned, "How naughty the kid is."

When he passed the corner, Yan Lingjun looked around and ran to the place where he appointed with Liu Ling from one side of the road.

It was smooth on his way there.

He looked back and walked forward quickly. He nearly walked here after a corner.

Yan Lingjun was about to breathe a sigh of relief and ran into a person.

"Who? Who walks so carelessly?" Yan Lingjun stood well and shouted.

"Your Highness, are you OK?" Xi looked at Yan Lingjun nervously.

Recognizing his mom’s servant girl, Yan Lingjun stood up and cleared his throat, "Why are you here?"

"Her Highness asks me to send some clothes, Your Highness." Xi lowered her head and said.

Hearing what Xi said, Yan Lingjun breathed a sigh of relief, "OK. Leave quickly."

"Your Highness, why are you here?" Xi asked.

Hearing what Xi said, Yan Lingjun couldn’t help dodging her stare and after a while he said with a smile, "Well… I come to have a check whether something is left."

"OK. I will leave first." Xi replied and left.

After Xi left, Yan Lingjun breathed a sigh of relief and walked there at a faster pace.

Liu Ling saw Yan Lingjun’s figure and pretended to ask the groom to leave, "Go to check whether something is left in the room."

"Yes!" The groom replied and walked into the room.

After the groom walked into the room, Liu Ling waved his hand to signal Yan Lingjun to come here quickly.

Yan Lingjun understood and hurried to walk to the front of the carriage.

"Your Highness, go into the carriage quickly." Liu Ling said and held Yan Lingjun to go into the carriage.

Then Liu Ling pointed at the big box and said, "Hide in it these days first. You shouldn't come out until they arrive there. I will send food to you, Your Highness."

"OK." Yan Lingjun nodded and hurried to worm his way in the box.

The time Yan Lingjun went in, the groom walked out of the room, "Master Liu, I have checked it. Nothing was left."

"OK, let’s go." Liu Ling nodded and said.

Then the horseman drove the carriage out of the village.

To make them not obvious, Yan Luo asked them to leave separately and gather at the foot of the Arctic Mountain.

It took one day to go to the Arctic Mountain. However, the road was covered by too much snow, and snow needed to be cleared in some places for going through.

It may take more time to reach the Arctic Mountain.

Shuo Ling and Mo Li had arrived in the Jing City of Beiling at this time.

Out of the city, they saw the soldiers were guarding the city gate and preventing those ordinary people from entering the city.

Seeing this, Shuo Ling frowned.

Mo Li walked to the front of Shuo Ling, "Your Lordship, I’ll go to check what happened."

Shuo Ling nodded and Mo Li walked to the city gate.

Those people said, "Your Excellency, the city is locked down for several days. When will the lockdown end? We need to exchange food with things from home. If the lockdown continues, our family will starve."

"It is the order by the emperor. We just follow the order to conduct things. We will open it until we are required." The soldier guarding the city gate said.

After those people gathering together heard it, their faces were racked with pain. They began to shout, "Your Excellency, we couldn't bear it because it is too cold. I could bear starvation for one or two days, but I am afraid that my mom and children couldn't bear it."

"Stop. If you continue, I will catch all of you!" Seeing these people act like this, the soldier guarding the city gate shouted.

Seeing this, those people zipped their lips with panic in their eyes. If they were caught, their families would starve to death.

Hearing this, Mo Li knew what happened and turned to walk to the front of Shuo Ling.

"What's up?" Shuo Ling got down from his horse, looked at Mo Li, and asked.

Mo Li said, "The city is locked down for about two days."

Hearing this, Shuo Ling frowned.

Mo Li added, "Your Lordship, does something happen to Madam? Should we go into the city and know more?"

"No. The lockdown means that Yan Ji hasn't found her." Shuo Ling shook his head and said.

Mo Li continued to ask, "Your Lordship, what should we do next?"

Shuo Ling thought for a while and said after a while, "Go to know what happened recently nearby."

"Your Lordship, if Madam is still in the city…" Hearing what Shuo Ling said, Mo Li felt confused and said.

Before he finished, Shuo Ling interrupted him, "She should not be in Jing City. Considering Yan Ji's means, he must find her if she is in Jing City."

Meanwhile, Shuo Ling mounted the horse and turned the horse.

Seeing this, Mo Li hurried to mount the horse and followed Shuo Ling.

After a few miles, they saw two old men say something. When they walked closer, one of them said, "Sinful. Do you know three people died one day in the town in front?"

"Yes, I heard it. It seemed to happen in an inn. Two women were killed at night. The next day the manager of the inn died without any reason." The other old man nodded and said.

"The affairs of the world are inconstant!"

They sighed and walked by Shuo Ling.
