in bowed her head in triumph, Beichen Yi's voice spoke again."While capital punishment may be avoided, the consequences of a lesser crime cannot be escaped. The young lady from the Southern family, Na...[ ]

After the incident at the small market.

Yun Ning's admiration for Yun An An deepened even further.

There are still three days until the appointment with the head of the Sky-Reaching Academy, and during these three days, Yun Ning has almost been at Prince Yi's mansion, studying the various novel weapons in Yun An'an's hands.

The clouds of Qi's anger filled the mountains, only a door away from confronting Yun An An. She was delaying Yun Ning's academic progress.

"Sis, what is this"

He had seen smoke grenades, but what was this metal sphere, about the size of a potato, in front of him

"This must not be moved."

Seeing Yun Ning pick up the grenade, Yun An hurried forward and carefully placed it back in the box.

During her trip to Xiangshan with Bei Chen Yi, she received a box from an old friend containing six grenades.

It's a good thing Bai Shiqi didn't move, or the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"This weapon is called a grenade. It's incredibly powerful and can take someone's life in an instant."

How to use it

"After sighting your target, open the safety and pull back the cocking lever."

"Oh~"

Yun Ning's book seemed to understand but not fully comprehend.

Sister, what about this

Yunning pointed to Barrett beside him. "I've heard that the Yiwu Palace has a very powerful sword, its power is immense."

"Want to try"

"May I... "

Yun Ning tentatively asked Yun An'an, "For someone like you, are you qualified to touch such a powerful weapon"

"How could it not be possible, come here, sister, let me teach you."

The two siblings came to the courtyard outside the study, where Yun An'an taught Yun Ning Shu how to use a Barrett.

At this time, Beichen Yi returned to Yiwangfu. From afar, he saw Yun An'an and Yun Ningshu lying on the ground. Yun Ningshu was still holding Bartley in her hand.

With a bang, the target was shattered by a gunshot.

"Wow, impressive!"

Barrett's recoil in a semi-automatic sniper rifle wasn't the biggest, but it still made Yun Ning gasp.

"This Barrett can take out several people in an instant."

"An'er has come again, making a mess. The floor is cold, what if she catches a cold"

Yun'an, lying on the ground, was directly picked up by Beichen Yi and held in his arms. He didn't care that she was still covered in dust.

"I came back rather early today."

Yun An'an hugged Bei Chen Yi's neck and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

Naturally, as a husband, I can't bear to be separated from my wife even for a moment. I miss her terribly.

Yun'an kissed him, and the young prince's mood instantly brightened considerably.

His profound gaze flickered slightly, and the coldness in his eyes when he looked at Yun Ning's book was gone.

"Yun San Gongzi has stayed at Yi Wangfu for long enough, it's time to return to Yunfu."

For days, Yuning had been inseparable from An'er. Even among siblings, this bothered the certain lord.

Especially just now, this kid has become even more audacious.

Yun Ning got up and brushed off the dust on her clothes. She placed her hands in front of her body and bowed to Beichen Yi.

"Many thanks for your hospitality, Your Majesty and Sister. I shall take my leave now."

"Wait a moment, take the shrimp chips. It wouldn't be good to leave empty-handed after staying here for a few days."

Yun An'an jumped out of Bei Chen Yi's arms and took some dried shrimp chips from the kitchen, putting them into a lunch box. She also stuffed a handful of silver bills into Yun Ning Shu's hands.

After the academy starts, study hard. Don't worry about things that aren't appropriate for your age, and don't disappoint Old Yun's expectations.

"Yes, Ning Shu will certainly remember what her elder sister said."

Yun Ning, carrying her belongings, was escorted back to Yun Mansion by Qing Feng.

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

On the way, Qingfeng glanced at Yun Ning's hands holding the food box. He could see clearly that the princess had stuffed a lot of dried shrimp chips into the child's lunchbox.

"Yun San Gongzi."

"Qingfeng gege, is there anything you need"

Yun Ning smiled gently at Qing Feng.

"Well, it's nothing special. Shrimp crackers need to be fried. At your age, or even Old Master Yun's age, you can't eat too oily things, otherwise..."

Just give it to him, he's young and strong, it doesn't matter if he's healthy or not.

"No."

Yun Ning flatly rejected Qing Feng, not even giving him a chance to speak.

"Yun San Gongzi, has anyone ever said that your personality is terrible"

She always looks sweet and gentle, but deep down, she's as dark as night. No wonder she's the younger brother of the Duchess.

……

The next day.

It rained heavily at noon.

Yun An'an and Bei Chen Rongrong were trapped in Wangjiang Pavilion.

Early in the morning, Bei Chen Rongrong came to Yit Wangfu to go shopping with Yun An'an.

While strolling, they heard that Xichunlai had a new opera premiering. Bei Chenrongrong always enjoyed listening to operas, so the two decided to go to Xichunlai.

Who knew that halfway through, a sudden downpour would occur, thus leading to the scene we see now.

Glug glug~~~

"I'm hungry."

The rain is still falling.

Beichen Rongrong frowned, her stomach growling loudly.

"Wanna have some barbecue"

What is barbecue

"Nature's bounty is delicious!"

The Beichen Kingdom has a dish of grilled meat, but the way it's made is mediocre and hard to swallow.

Qingfeng brought over the tools and ingredients Yun'an needed.

Only to see the smoke and fire of the world rising from the Wanjiang Pavilion, where the late emperor had nominated poems.

Barbecue has a unique charm, the scent of meat mingled with spices wafts through the air, and paired with a cup of peach blossom wine stolen from Dali Temple.

Delicious!

"Delicious, really delicious, I haven't eaten such grilled meat since I was born."

One hand waves left, the other right, Bei Chen Rongrong dances with both hands, eyes shining bright.

"Growing up, you've never tried barbecue That's a shame. Eat more."

"It's so good."

Listening to the sound of rain and eating grilled skewers is also leisurely.

At this time, in the midst of heavy rain, a figure cloaked in a raincoat walked step by step.

The aura surrounding him was indescribable, as if raindrops themselves would avoid him.

The figure grew closer and closer. Yun An'an narrowed her eyes, stood up, and shielded Bei Chen Rongrong behind her.

Finally, the man in the rain cloak stepped forward and took a deep breath.

"You're so bold."

The voice sounds familiar, doesn't it

"I knew all along you were sneaking the good stuff!"

After taking off his straw hat, Yun An'an could finally see who had arrived. It wasn't Old King nor anyone else.

"Fragrant, really damn fragrant, hurry up and get some for this old man to try."

Sitting between Bei Chen Rongrong and Yun An'an, the old grandmaster was drenched all over, which was truly unpleasant.

"On a rainy day, what kind of wind blew you here"

Hearing Yun'an's disdainful tone and feeling the disdain in her phoenix eyes, Old Wangye took a skewer of mutton skewers and gulped down a cup of wine, completely unconcerned.

"Just because it's nothing, doesn't mean I can't come, does it You and Bei Chen Yi are really a match made in heaven, speaking with the same tone."

Another skewer of grilled skewers went down, Lao Wang stroked the grease on his chin.

Furthermore, I've told you countless times to stay indoors during this period. Have you forgotten what happened a few days ago

Ye Ziyu sent people in black to assassinate Yun An'an at the small market. Although they failed, innocent civilians were caught in the crossfire.

This matter has alarmed the court. If it weren't for Beichen Han stopping him, Beichen Yi would have dragged Ye Ziyu directly to the palace outside and beheaded him as a warning.

Even with Bei Chen Yi around, you still need to be careful.

Old Wang pointed to the black shadows in the heavy rain. Heaven knows how long these people have been lurking.

If he weren't worried about Yun An'an and Bei Chen Rongrong, he wouldn't swagger to Wangjiang Pavilion on a rainy day. He really thought he hadn't had good food before

So delicious~~ It's really fragrant.

"I received word that Han Qing will be returning to the capital in a few days. When that happens, there is bound to be bloodshed."

"What is Old Wang worried about"

Although Han Qing won a victory and his reputation among the people has improved, it's not like he would seize power and become the new emperor upon returning to the capital. What's there to worry about

Even if someone is gone, the Earth will still keep spinning.

Seeing Yun'an with a nonchalant expression, Old Wang shook his head.

You're oversimplifying things. The wind is rising before a storm, and even an old man like me can't predict the future of Beichen Country.

Letting out a long sigh, Old Wang's eyes seemed to have aged considerably in an instant.

Sitting beside the elderly Wang, Bei Chen Rongrong sensed his thoughts and spoke.

"Old Wang, do you have something on your mind If you're not feeling well, please tell us."

Beichen Rongrong's words made Lao Wangye raise his eyes, his gaze falling on Yun Anan.

After a moment, he put down the skewer in his hand and spoke slowly.

"Supposing, as I am supposing..."

The wise man emphasized that his words were hypothetical, and the old king continued speaking.

"What if one day you discovered that the person you cared about most had been deceiving and manipulating you all along What if everything seemed like it was done by someone else, but in reality, it was all a trap set by the person you cherished most"

The topic is a bit heavy.

Old Wang took a big gulp of his wine.

"If that day ever comes, what will you do"

Waiting for Yun An'an's reply, Lao Wangye tightened his grip on the wine glass.

There's a sense of déjà vu about this question.

Raising her cup, Yun An An took a delicate sip of the peach blossom wine. Her reply to Old Wang Ye and Bei Chen Yi was identical.

"Me dead, the other side dead, we all dead together, is this answer satisfactory"

Why die together

Bei Chen Rongrong was puzzled.

"I'm not some saint, I pay back good with tenfold and evil with a hundredfold."

She is a person who will take revenge for even the smallest slight. Don't be fooled by her seemingly salted-fish existence after crossing over; deep down, she is still a bloodthirsty and greedy bounty hunter.

At some point, the rain stopped.

In the distance, two carriages gradually came into view. One belonged to Prince Yi's mansion, and the other to Minister Jiang's residence.

Before Jiang Yan could open his mouth to say anything, Yun An'an leaped onto the carriage of Prince Yi's mansion and flung herself into Bei Chen Yi's arms.

"Uncle, did Jiang Yan that scoundrel accuse me again of abducting the crown princess"

"There is none. It so happens that my husband and Elder Zhang were just leaving the palace, when a guard came to report that An'er and Rongrong were chatting in the Wanging Pavilion. My husband was worried about you, and Elder Zhang also came over together."

"Oh~ I thought Ginger Grandma was writing again, let's go, we happen to be going to Gao Lin's house."

Yun An'an was not in a hurry to return to Yi Wangfu. She now wanted to go to Gao Lin's residence more.

Why does An'er need to go to Gaolin Mansion

"I'm not at ease with Qing'er still being at Gao Lin's place."

Yun'an frankly expressed her worry. She had almost forgotten about it, and when she chatted with Rongrong about the Yanyu Building, she remembered that Qing'er had been living at Gaolin Mansion for some time.

And Gao Lin must have ulterior motives.here to host guests. My husband can rest assured.""Brother Yi…"From the moment Beichen Yi appeared, Li Ruolan's "Yi Gege" (elder brother Yi) got stuck in her throat. In the end, she called out "Yi Geg...
