Chapter 57 Going to the Prince's Mansion for Seafood
After dealing with the puppet, only An Yi, who had fainted to the side, remained.
Looking at his massive body, Yun Quan thought to herself, "This guy looks pretty heavy; I can't carry him."
Then, her eyes lit up and she came up with a plan.
She took out a small bottle of sleeping potion from her bosom, carefully opened the cap, held the bottle opening to An Yi's mouth and nose, and gently blew a breath.
The white powder floated in the air and slowly fell into An Yi's nose.
A moment later, An Yi's body trembled slightly, and he fell into a deeper coma.
Yun Juan nodded in satisfaction, then used her spatial teleportation ability to gently lift An Yi's body and send it into her own space.
Inside the space, Yun Juan looked at the unconscious An Yi, a sly smile appearing on her lips.
She thought to herself, "He'll be shocked when he wakes up."
Then, she turned and left this mysterious and infinitely possible space, running towards her familiar courtyard without any hesitation!
Her steps were light and swift, like a cheetah galloping across the grassland, each step carrying a firm determination and fearless courage.
She had only one thought in her mind: to get back to her own yard as soon as possible and get away from this place that made her feel so uncomfortable.
Throughout the run, her eyes remained alert, constantly watching for any movement around her.
She knew that it wasn't just Old Madam Yun who had experts here; there might be other experts hidden in other parts of the Prime Minister's residence as well!
After returning to the courtyard, she quickly went back into the space, picked up An Yi who was lying on the ground, and then attacked him without hesitation.
As she moved, An Yi's body began to tremble slightly, and a pained expression appeared on his face.
After a while, he finally slowly opened his eyes and woke up from his coma.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, An Yi couldn't help but feel a surge of fear and confusion.
His eyes widened, staring in astonishment at the scene before him, his voice trembling as he asked, "Miss, how did we suddenly get back here? Where did that mysterious master go? Is he still here?"
His eyes darted around, trying to find the expert who had once put them in such a desperate situation, but he found nothing.
At this moment, he was filled with unease and confusion, unsure of how to cope with this sudden change in circumstances!
"Don't worry, your princess has already taken care of that puppet herself! So, you can just stay here and focus on recovering!"
Yun Juan had a relaxed expression, seemingly not taking the matter to heart, which gradually eased An Yi's tension!
His previously tense nerves relaxed considerably, and his body was no longer so tense.
Yun Juan gently patted An Yi's shoulder, tenderly comforting him: "Don't worry, everything will be alright."
He nodded slightly, but his eyes still revealed unease and worry.
Yun Juan knew that An Yi cared about her, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
Back in her room, Yun Juan felt as if all her strength had been drained from her body.
She walked heavily to the bedside, and then collapsed onto the bed helplessly like a puppet that had lost its support.
She closed her eyes, trying to relax, but the events that had just occurred kept flashing through her mind.
A wave of exhaustion washed over her, and she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand.
Each breath became difficult and heavy, as if it required all the strength in the body to complete.
She knew she needed rest, but her worries made it hard for her to fall asleep.
This continent is full of mystery and the unknown, with many perplexing enigmas.
Yun Juan initially thought this was just an ordinary ancient world, but she never expected that such a peculiar existence as a puppeteer would appear today!
This greatly changed her perception of the world and made her realize that her understanding of the world was far from enough.
Perhaps, there are many more untold secrets in this world waiting for her.
Lost in thought, Yun Juan fell asleep!
The next day, Yun Quan and Murong Qian had already made their appointment!
Yun Juan arrived at the Regent's Palace as promised.
Murong Qian personally greeted her and led her to the kitchen.
The kitchen was filled with all sorts of fresh seafood, some of which Yun Quan couldn't even name.
Murong Qian smiled and said to Yun Juan, "These seafood dishes are all brought back from the seaside. I thought you would like to eat them, so I specially invited you to try them."
Looking at the seafood, Yun Quan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
Although she knew Murong Qian's true purpose in inviting her, seeing how thoughtfully he prepared still warmed her heart.
Yun Juan began to prepare the seafood, skillfully cleaning it thoroughly.
Then she cut it into appropriate sizes. Murong Qian watched her silently from the side, her eyes filled with tenderness and love.
When Yun Juan brought the prepared seafood to the table, Murong Qian couldn't wait to take a bite and exclaimed, "It's absolutely delicious!"
Yun Juan smiled slightly and said, "As long as Your Highness is happy."
The two enjoyed their meal and chatted for the rest of the time.
Murong Qian told Yun Juan many interesting stories, and Yun Juan also shared her own life experiences.
The distance between them seemed to be getting closer and closer, and their understanding of each other was getting deeper and deeper.
Yun Juan gave a brief account of her encounter with the puppet yesterday.
"Puppet masters?" Murong Qian's expression turned serious. "They usually live alone and rarely have contact with the outside world. How could they suddenly appear in a bustling city?"
Yun Juan nodded; she also found it strange.
Murong Qian pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up. "This matter is of utmost importance, and I must investigate it thoroughly immediately."
"Yun Quan, go home first. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
Yun Quan was a little worried, but she knew she couldn't help, so she could only agree.
After seeing Yun Juan off, Murong Qian immediately summoned his trusted subordinates and made some arrangements.
He decided to investigate thoroughly, because if they really encountered it, it wouldn't be a good thing for Tianyuan Kingdom!
Compared to the safety of the people of Tianyuan Kingdom, the emperor's targeting of him is a very small matter, even insignificant!
Yun Juan didn't enjoy the seafood meal to her heart's content, but she understood that the matter of the puppeteer was of paramount importance!
She now admired Murong Qian for her ability to react immediately upon learning of the matter and to devise a plan; she was indeed swift and decisive!
Yun Juan blushed when she thought of Murong Qian's appearance!
"This damned appearance is so tempting! I still really like this appearance!"
