Mu Jian Heng stood far away, not moving closer to Xiao Wei. ”This must be the Emperor and Empress of the Great Chu.” Mu Jian knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists, ”I am the Gu King of the Gu Clan, your son's poison is coming out of my hands.”

Chu Yunge ran over, ”Gu King, what are you doing? It's not your fault.”

”In the end, this insect poison still came from me, how could I not have done anything wrong? I hope the emperor can forgive my Gu clan and not hold a grudge against it.” After coming to the Chu, he had personally seen the berserk Chu Yan. Even he did not dare imagine what kind of pain it was.

And this pain had descended upon a child who had just turned 20 years old.

She lifted Mu Jian up, ”We didn't even have time to thank you, how could we bear your hatred? If there must be someone who would take responsibility for all of this, it shouldn't be you, it should be Worryfree Hall!”

”That's right, Gu King, we all know the ins and outs of this matter, the one that deserves to die is the Worryfree Hall, you don't have to worry about it.” ”Chu Jing was still weak when he spoke.” However, when will Yan'er wake up? He has suffered quite a bit. ”

”The third prince will definitely wake up in six hours at the latest.”

Chu Jing nodded as a smile finally appeared on his face. ”The Gu King has traveled a thousand miles to come here. He will have a welcoming banquet in the reception hall in six hours. By then, Yan'er will also wake up.”

”Your majesty, this can't be tolerated. I already bear the responsibility of receiving such hospitality.”

”You can't put it like that, my being poisoned to such a state is also because of my Worryfree Hall. The fact that the Gu King was able to cure Yan'er of his poison and Yan'er was able to return to her original state is the best outcome.”

Chu Yan laid quietly on the bed, the boulder at the bottom of his heart finally fell. As he laid on the bed, he frowned, as if he had thought of something bad, and his hands started to grab wildly.

”It's alright, we are all safe now.” Xiao Wei grabbed his hand, and gently stroked the back of his hand, ”The Worryfree Hall people have all left, and everyone else has left.” She put his hand back in the quilt. That was what she did every day.

Chu Yunge did not speak, and kept everything in mind.

”Yun Ge, follow mother out for a while.” Murong Xue'er patted Chu Yunge's shoulders from behind and walked out of the Audience Hall.

The sky was blue and cold, and the occasional wind that blew past blew away the last of the heat on his face, ”Yun Ge, do you know why mother called you out?”

Chu Yunge took off the clothes on her body, and covered Murong Xue'er's shoulders, ”mother has caught a cold, take good care of yourself.”

Murong Xue'er took Chu Yunge's hand from her shoulder and held hers. The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder, ”mother must have told you the Murong Family's story before.”

”Yes.”

Murong Xue'er said with a serious tone, ”mother did not tell you everything. After everything that has happened, I can't hide anything from you anymore.” This time, she almost got into the coffin.

”Hide from me? You mean about the map? ”

”Actually, the map was only a part of the competition for the Worryfree Hall. Back then, not only were the treasure map split into several pieces, even the keys to the treasure trove were split into six pieces. The Murong Dynasty, the Nan Gong Family, the three kingdoms, and the Kang City were each holding one piece.”

”mother, tell me now, what is it?” It turns out that it wasn't just the map, but also the key. Then she didn't tell her that Murong Xue'er asked her that question at the time, and now he wants her to obtain these key fragments?

”You have grown up, you are no longer that playful child Yun Zongge. Your royal father's body has been destroyed by the poison, so he no longer has any energy left. Yan'er is still unconscious. Murong Xue'er held Chu Yunge's hand tightly.

”mother originally thought that Worryfree Hall fights over so many maps, that nothing big would happen, but mother was wrong, the Worryfree Hall does not mean that there will be any peace in this world, which is why mother is telling you this now.”

Chu Yunge's footsteps stopped, ”mother, you want me to collect all the maps and keys?”

”Follow me.” Murong Xue'er led Chu Yunge and walked towards Chu Jing's hall and opened the tunnel under the bed. From below, she took out a map of sheepskin and a piece of metal that looked like a fragment, ”The mother from the Mu Rong family's map has already been burnt, and I have already shown you the map.

Chu Yunge received it with both hands and picked it up, ”Is this the key?”

”Yes, according to your grandfather, if it was a complete thing that looked like the sun, even mother had never seen it before.”

The thing in Chu Yunge's hand was obviously broken. Chu Yunge tried to imagine its complete form in her mind, and it really did look like a sun. ”According to what mother said, there should be two keys right? Why is there only one? ” A piece of the Grand Chu, and a piece of the Murong Dynasty.

Back then, your grandfather only gave me the map and told me in the letter that the key was embedded in the ranking board at the center of the Murong Ancestral Temple. mother had left the Mu Rong family for dozens of years and had long been expelled. Murong Xue'er covered the bed again.
