Chapter 173: The Two People Were Too Similar

n Yi's hands. Why did you have to issue a bounty on my head in the black market You not only lost your wife but also your troops.""Since AnAn already knows, Auntie won't pretend anymore."No longer hid...: []

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

"An An."

"Don't come any closer, just say whatever you have to say from there."

Every setback is a lesson learned.

She is very weak now, she falls over with a gust of wind, and doesn't want to have any more accidents.

"I just want to know if you're doing okay, are you feeling better"

"So, I'm not dead. Is General Han disappointed"

Yun An'an took another step back, widening the safe distance between herself and the two of them.

"An An, you don't have to be like this. If you don't like me leaving, then so be it."

Han Qing's face was pale as he looked at Yun An'an. A hint of sadness flickered in his eyes, as if he had something more he wanted to say, but ultimately swallowed it back down.

With the help of an attendant, Han Qing got into the carriage.

"Annie, I know I've hurt you and owed you. No matter what happens in the future, I will protect you."

"Don't, General Han. Just hope that I can figure things out. I don't need your protection; all I want is for you to live safely until I find the antidote for the life-and-death gu."

He Qing saved her, and she had a little bit of gratitude for him.

But speaking of it, if Han Qing hadn't been there at Tianxiang Lou last time, she wouldn't have been injured. She could have completely dodged the attacks from the black-clothed men.

For Han Qing's life-saving grace, she felt very awkward in her heart.

Don't say things like she doesn't know what's good for her or she doesn't recognize a kind heart.

Sometimes things could be solved very simply, but because of someone's "good intentions," they make matters even more complicated. This kind of "good intention" she doesn't want it anyway.

Looking at the carriage gradually disappearing from sight, a gust of wind blew past, and Yun Anan inexplicably shivered.

It had been many hours since they returned to Yiwangfu. They happened to meet Beichen Yi who was returning home halfway, and the two of them ate some small wontons at a roadside stall before heading back to the mansion.

In the study.

Yun An'an and Beichen Yi chatted about the events of the day, both from Yi Wangfu and from the palace.

As I expected.

Yun An'an told Bei Chen Yi that the West Region's First Grade Hall had already surrendered to the Bei Chen royal family, but judging by Bei Chen Yi's expression, it seemed he had guessed as much.

"Uncle, do you think it was Beichen Han or Hanye who sent the assassins to kill me"

Whoever harms An'er, I shall make them pay a hundredfold.

The murderous intent in his eyes suddenly surged, and the temperature in the study plummeted to zero.

"Okay, okay, I'm not angry anymore. We'll take revenge slowly, no need to rush. Speaking of which, Miss Shen from Yan Yu Lou gave me a nice thing today."

When she returned, she took a look. Upon seeing this, she discovered a treasure among the gifts sent by the girls at Yanyulou.

Yun'an held a crimson porcelain bottle. Inside, there was only a single pill.

"What is this"

"The legendary elixir of heartbreak."

The red porcelain bottle contained the elixir of heartbreak.

"Uncle, don't underestimate this Absolute Emotion Pill. If a person is in dire straits and facing death, taking this pill can save their life, but the consequence... forget about love and affection."

It's good, but the side effects after taking the Jueqing Pill are too great.

Although this medicine ultimately has a miraculous effect of bringing people back from the dead, it's unclear why the ingredient that causes forgetfulness was included when it was first made.

Yunan An carefully preserved the red porcelain bottle, saying that it might be worth a lot of money in the future.

"Uncle, let's invite Old Master Wang to dinner tomorrow."

"An'er, if you've made your decision, then tomorrow I will be back very late. An'er, please don't go out and wander around."

"Yes, sir!"

……

The next day, at the Yi Wangfu.

Early, Yun An'an had already prepared the ingredients. Qingfeng drove a carriage to pick up Old Wangye from Ruiqin Wangfu.

Also arriving was Bei Chen Lin, grandson of the Rui Prince's Residence.

"What is Yun'ya doing It smells so good, I can smell it from afar."

Old Wang carefully sniffed the fragrance of the dish, and pulling Beichen Lin along, arrived at the kitchen.

Yun An'an, who had just finished cooking in the kitchen, walked out wearing an apron. When she saw the man beside Lao Wangye, her expression suddenly froze.

"Come, come, let me introduce you. This is my grandson, Beichen Lin."

"Liner, this is the Princess Yun'an that your grandpa often talks about."

Lao Wangye introduced the two to each other. Bei Chenlin respectfully bowed his head in greeting.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"I have met the princess."

"You... Hello, please have a seat. I'm still simmering some dishes in the pot and they'll be ready soon."

"Go about your business, and on your way, heat up a pot of good wine for the old man."

Old Wang waved his hand, signaling Yun'an to go about her business. He and his grandson weren't strangers, after all.

Yun Anan returned to the kitchen but did not lift the lid of the pot. Instead, she stood there holding a spatula, her brows furrowed in concentration.

How could it be so similar……

If it weren't for the softness in his eyes that proved his difference, Beichen Lin and Qi Feng would be almost indistinguishable.

On second thought, Qi Feng might live a very fulfilling life in the 21st century.

They only look alike.

Not long after, a table laden with sumptuous dishes appeared before Old Master Wang and his grandson Bei Chen Lin.

Looking at the table full of dishes he could name, but couldn't remember the names of, Old Wang drooled.

"What is this, sour, sweet and crispy, so delicious!"

"Twice-cooked pork."

"What about this cabbage then It must surely contain a world within."

"Boiled Water with Cabbage, Old Master Wang would know just by taking a taste."

Each type of dish represents the typical cuisine of its region.

Yun Anan introduces each dish, including its name, preparation method, and ingredients.

She followed her master's lead, developing a taste for cooking all sorts of delicious dishes to reward herself after completing missions, proving that she was still alive.

Over time, this culinary skill has naturally become masterful.

Unfortunately, her master died later, and she died too…

Looking at Bei Chenlin, his face was exactly like Qi Feng's, and Yun An felt a sudden pain in her heart.

"Old King, I toast to you with this cup of wine. Thanks to you for going all out to save that bastard Han Qing."

"Well said, I don't want to save him either. But who told you two to be bound by the life and death Gu"

After a cup of wine, the old and the young drank happily.

"Lin'er, don't just drink alcohol. Try some of your sister-in-law's cooking too."

Beichen Yi, Beichen Han, and Beichen Lin are of the same generation. Yun An'an is naturally the queen of Beichen Lin.

But he couldn't bring himself to say "Wang Sao." He had to change his address to "Yi Wangfei" instead.

I'm not bragging, but my grandson is the best man in the world. He excels in poetry, literature, music, martial arts, and most importantly, he looks just as handsome as I do.

When praising Bei Chenlin, Old Wang also praised himself, which made Yun An'an roll her eyes in disdain.

"Yes, yes, yes, the grandson of Old King is the best man in the world. Old King must have accumulated great virtue in his past life."

Being praised by Yun'an'an, Lao Wangye was pleased despite feeling a little awkward.

One drink after another, and the third round of wine later, Old Wang got drunk. He grabbed Qingfeng and started chattering nonstop.

From his youth in the army to marriage and having children, from the changes in the imperial family back then to his current state of white hair, he spoke about everything, from the ups and downs of their relatives' families to gossip like whose daughter-in-law was stealing with a man.

In the end, Qingfeng sat with his hands clasped over his knees, looking up at the sky with a hopeless expression.

"Your Majesty, the Queen!"

At this time, the guards rushed over.

"Yingtian Academy had an incident, Xue Qichen and the others went crazy."ished infant clutched Yun Anan's finger with its tiny hand and sucked on it."Master Yun, we coaxed all night and you didn't even hold us once."Xu Qiancheng had two steamed buns, and the way he ate the...
