Chapter 288: Drop Straight Down

Even the Emperor turned a blind eye to Qian Jiyun’s frequent absence from the military camp because of what happened back then.

He even ignored the ministers’ repeated requests to punish Qian Jiyun for his dereliction of duty.

It seemed like An Jiuyue had suffered a lot over the years.

“Let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s settle the matter at hand first.”

An Jiuyue raised her hand to stop Elder Huang. She did not know how things would develop between her and Qian Jiyun, but she would not have mentioned it to Elder Huang if she had not known that her father trusted him the most.

“Elder Huang, please prepare the medicinal herbs I need first. Also, although I’ve asked you to contact the 18 Stockaded Villages, please don’t let the chiefs know about the Secret Network.”

“Yes, Young Master,” Elder Huang agreed.

His master had said the same thing. The 180,000-strong army was in the light, and the Secret Network was in the shadows. The two could not replace each other unless there was a life-and-death situation.

“I’ve already ordered people to prepare them. However, one of these medicinal herbs…”

“The Heaven’s Secret Leaf enhances efficacy. I hope you can find a way to obtain it.”

An Jiuyue knew what Elder Huang wanted to say. The Heaven’s Secrets Leaf was like holy medicine—it was very difficult to obtain.

“Young Master, I can obtain the Heaven’s Secret Leaf. There’s a farm in Zhenhu Pass that Master left behind. All kinds of herbs are planted there, including the Heaven’s Secrets Leaf,” Elder Huang explained.

Master was so thoughtful! He told us to grow many of the rarest medicinal herbs back then! We won’t have to worry about getting them in the future!

“But it is hard to find the Marrow Apricot Blossom. They don’t bloom in this season,” he reminded her.

Herbs could usually be dried in the sun, but the Marrow Apricot Blossom was different. Its medicinal properties would disappear if dried. Therefore, they had to pick fresh flowers.

An Jiuyue thought for a moment and said, “I’ll think of something… Elder Huang, please prepare the other herbs.”

“Yes, I’ll take my leave.”

“Wait.”

Elder Huang was about to leave when An Jiuyue stopped him. He turned around and looked at her.

“Is there anything else, Young Master?”

“Elder Huang, I don’t want anyone else to know about me and Qian Jiyun.”

“Don’t worry, Young Master. I will keep this a secret.” Elder Huang nodded.

He thought so, too. If news spread that the heir of Prince An Yang was Prince Zhan Yun’s wife, everyone would be in great shock.

The royal family would definitely be afraid of Qian Jiyun. There would probably be one conspiracy after another in the future.

“I’ll take my leave.”

…

“What? Master, you still want to reclaim a piece of land?”

Inside the microcosmic space, Wei Na was speechless when it heard An Jiuyue’s words.

“Master, aren’t you going to unlock a pasture? If you reclaim another piece of land, your points will drop straight down again! Are you okay with that?”

An Jiuyue was silent. Even if she could not bear losing her points, she had no choice—it was necessary.
