"Since everyone is here, let's have a rest." Yan Luo walked to the middle and said to everyone.

Then, Yang Zijin and others got out of the carriage.

"Your Highness, I will get you something to eat." Liu Ling said to Yan Lingjun who was leaning to the carriage.

At this moment, Yan Lingjun responded softly in the carriage, "Okay."

Liu Ling got out of the carriage.

At this time, someone had lighted the fire and put the food on the fire to roast.

Liu Ling saw Yan Luo was walking towards Yang Zijin. He hurried forward and said to Chu Tianming, who was baking the pastry, "Give me two."

"Two? When did you eat so much?" Hearing what Liu Ling said, Chu Tianming looked up at him and asked.

When Liu Ling heard this, he couldn't help but frown and then said, "Why do you ask so much? I have never walked so far before. Now, after walking so far, I was already hungry. I could eat three, let alone two."

"If everyone eats as you do, I reckon that we will run out the food before we find the treasure." Hearing this, Chu Tianming couldn't help making fun of Liu Ling.

Seeing Chu Tianming deliberately teasing him, Liu Ling couldn't help but get angry, and then he said, "Stop saying anymore. Give me or not?"

"Well, here you are." Chu Tianming said and immediately handed the pastry to Liu Ling.

After Liu Ling took it, he walked to the carriage.

When he walked into the carriage, Liu Ling opened the box.

"Wow, it's suffocating me. I can finally breathe out." At this moment, Yan Lingjun sat up from the box and said.

Liu Ling hurriedly put his hand to Yan Lingjun's mouth and motioned to him to speak quietly.

Then, Liu Ling opened the curtain and looked outside. Fortunately, no one was there.

Yan Lingjun nodded knowingly. He looked at the pastry in Liu Ling's hand, took it over, and started to eat.

At this time, Yan Lingjun couldn't help coughing because he ate too fast. Seeing this, Liu Ling hurriedly handed the water to Yan Lingjun.

Yan Lingjun took it and drank it thirstily.

"Liu Ling, are you inside?"

Suddenly, Yan Wanchu's voice came from outside the carriage.

Hearing this, Yan Lingjun and Liu Ling couldn't help but be stunned. Then, Yan Lingjun gave the water and the pastry to Liu Ling and hurried to lie down in the box.

Liu Ling hurriedly closed the box.

Then, Liu Ling put the water and the pastry aside, adjusted his breathing, and immediately responded, "Yes, I am."

With that said, Liu Ling opened the curtain and looked at Yan Wanchu.

Yan Wanchu looked inside the carriage and then asked, "What was the sound just now?"

"Ah... Um, I spilled the water accidentally just now." Hearing Wanchu asked him, Liu Ling flashed his eyes slightly and said with a smile.

After hearing this, Yan Wanchu hesitated and said with a chuckle, "Be careful."

"Why are you coming here?" Liu Ling asked with his eyebrows moved slightly.

Yan Wanchu said, "It's cold outside. I come to get my mother warm clothes."

"Ah, Well!" Liu Ling couldn't help avoiding eye contact after hearing this.

Seeing Liu Ling being like this, Yan Wanchu continued to ask, "What happened to you?"

"Well, Wanchu, you go back first, and I'll send it to you later." Liu Ling avoided the conversation and then said with a slightly flustered.

After Yan Wanchu heard this, she smiled and said, "Don't bother you. I'll just take it."

"Your Highness, this..." Liu Ling couldn't help but frown tightly when Yan Wanchu said this.

Seeing Liu Ling being like this, Yan Wanchu couldn't help looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Liu Ling didn't know what to do. At this moment, if he opened the box, Yan Wanchu would see Yan Lingjun, and it would be troublesome.

Just when Liu Ling didn't know what to do, Yan Lingjun slowly opened the lid of the box with his hands.

Seeing this, Yan Wanchu couldn't help but be surprised.

When she had just passed the carriage, she heard a voice like Yan Lingjun’s voice inside, but she didn't see anybody when Liu Ling lifted the carriage curtain.

Then, she saw the box in the carriage and wondered if he would be hiding in the box.

So, she said that she wanted to take a cotton-padded coat. As she expected, Liu Ling's eyes dodged.

So, she could conclude that Yan Lingjun had also followed, and he was likely hiding in the box.

"Well, don't be embarrassed." Yan Lingjun pushed the box aside at this time, then sat up, and looked at Liu Ling.

Seeing Yan Lingjun sitting up from the box, Yan Wanchu couldn't help but frown. And then, she looked at Yan Lingjun and asked, "Brother, our mother lets you stay at home. Why did you follow us?"

Hearing what Yan Wanchu said, Yan Lingjun hurriedly put his hand to his mouth, "Wanchu, keep your voice down and come up."

Yan Wanchu glanced at Yan Lingjun and then got into the carriage.

After she got into the carriage, Yan Wanchu looked at Liu Ling and asked, "How can you help him? If my mother knows, you both will be punished."

"Your Highness, I..." After hearing this, Liu Ling said with a dodge in his eyes.

Before Liu Ling could say something, Yan Lingjun who was sitting in the box interrupted him and then said, "Wanchu, it can't blame him. It is I who want to follow him."

"Brother, you will be the emperor in the future. We don't know how many dangers are waiting for us during this trip to the Arctic Mountain. You are our hope. How can you..." Hearing what Yan Lingjun said, Yan Wanchu couldn't help changing her countenance and said.

Before Yan Wanchu finished speaking, Yan Lingjun interrupted her and said, "I know the trip is dangerous, but I can't stay at home when I see our parents and you at risk. Dad and mom may not understand me. Don't you understand me?"

"But even so, you can't just come here directly. It will make everyone worry about you." Yan Wanchu frowned at this time.

Yan Lingjun sneered, "Everyone is worried about me, but have you ever thought about that I am also worried about you. I am your brother. Even you have come to the Arctic Mountain. Why can't I come? I don't want to live under the protection of everyone. I know it is selfish. Since childhood, everything has been arranged for me. It makes me think that I'm weaker than a woman."

Yan Lingjun shouted out the dissatisfaction in his heart. Then, he turned his head to the side and gasped for breath.

"Brother, no one thinks you like that." Seeing that Yan Lingjun got angry, Yan Wanchu frowned slightly at this moment and then comforted him.

Then, Yan Lingjun said, "If you want to tell mom, I won't stop you."

"I won't tell mom. I'll pretend I don't know about this, but you have to think about how you can explain to mom at that time." Yan Wanchu shook her head and then looked at Yan Lingjun.

Hearing Yan Wanchu said this, Yan Lingjun turned his head to look at her, "Okay."

"Now, give me the cotton-padded coat." Yan Wanchu said to Yan Lingjun with smiling.

Yan Lingjun handed the cotton-padded coat beside him to Yan Wanchu.

After Yan Wanchu took it, she glanced at Liu Ling and then got out of the carriage.

After getting out of the carriage, Yan Wanchu couldn't help sighing. She didn't expect that her brother would have such a thought in his heart, and she had never noticed it.

Fortunately, the people who went to the Arctic Mountain were all masters with good Kungfu, and Runyu was with them. If they really encountered danger, they would come out of danger.

She just hoped that dad and mom would not blame her brother.

Thinking of this, Yan Wanchu walked towards Yan Luo.

At this time, Yan Luo walked to Yang Zijin.

Yang Zijin bowed slightly to Yan Luo, "Auntie."

"Qingcheng, forget about this etiquette in the future." Yan Luo said.

Yang Zijin smiled and nodded.

Then, Yan Luo walked to Yang Zijin and took her hand, "Look at you. Your hand is so cold. This trip will be going to be tough on you."

"It doesn't matter, auntie. My mom has passed away. And her wish was to take the throne back together with you. Now that I have found you, I am doing what my mother wanted to do for my mother." At this moment, Yang Zijin shook her head and said.

Hearing what Yang Zijin said, Yan Luo couldn’t help but smile, "Well, although your mother and I have only met once, we have the same blood in our bodies. When we get back to the throne, if you don’t want to back to Dongling, you will settle down in Beiling."

"Auntie, my mom's death is not that simple. I won't let my mom die in vain. Those who participated must die!" After hearing this, Yang Zijin said with a resolute expression.

Yan Luo was taken aback for a moment and then sighed, "Qingcheng, if my sister had known you well, I'm sure she would not let you take this risk again. After all, Dongling Emperor is vicious."

"Don't worry, auntie. I will have my own way." Yang Zijin raised her brow at this time and then said to Yan Luo.

Hearing this, Yan Luo then held Yang Zijin's hand tightly, "Auntie will support you. At that time, I will send some masters to help you secretly."

"Thank you, auntie." Yang Zijin smiled and nodded at this time.

At this moment, Yan Wanchu took a deep breath and walked over with a smile on her face, "Mom. Qingcheng."

"Wanchu, why are you here?" Yan Luo asked while looking at Wanchu.

Yan Wanchu smiled at this time and then looked at the cotton-padded coat in her hand, "It's cold outside, and I'm afraid that you will get cold, so I went to get you a coat."

"Well, give it to Qingcheng. The weather in Beiling has always been like this. I'm not afraid, but it is the first time for Qingcheng to come to Beiling. She would be afraid of the cold." Yan Luo nodded and then looked at Yang Zijin.

As she said, she took the cotton-padded coat from Yan Wanchu's hand and put it on Yang Zijin, "Put it on. Don't catch a cold."

"Thank you, auntie." Yang Zijin said at this time.

After Yan Luo listened, she looked at Yang Zijin and said, "Don't need to be so polite."

Yang Zijin smiled after listening.

Yan Wanchu on the side said immediately, "Mom, Qingcheng, I will get you the pastry."

"Okay." Yan Luo nodded.
