"The reason why the black robe appeared here today is to celebrate the Lantern Festival with Shen Wanning?" After Mu Yunjin finished speaking, she still felt very surprised and weird when she thought of the gentle smiling face of the black robe just now.

"Shen Wanning..." Qiqi suddenly said the name silently.

"I remembered. It has been rumored that there is a woman named so-and-so in the City Lord's Mansion who can exorcise evil spirits and tell divination, but no one has actually seen it before. Could it be that Shen Wanning..."

Qiqi couldn't remember that nickname for a while.

Huaying folded her arms, and suddenly said three words coolly, "Grass hag."

"Yes, yes, that's the name!" Qiqi nodded immediately.

Huang Yan also rubbed his chin, "I've been in Zhangzhou City all year round, and I've heard of the name Grass Witch. From what you've said, maybe it's Shen Wanning."

"Then how do you know her name is Shen Wanning?" Mu Yunjin asked Huang Yan.

"Once, my Highness and I went to Qiu Tianhuai's mansion. At that time, Qiu Tianhuai was with this Shen Wanning. I introduced her and remembered her name." Huang Yan said.

Mu Yunjin pursed her lips, "Then this old ghost in black robe is obviously old friends with this grass hag, then this grass hag has nothing to do with Qiu Tianhuai, since he is in love with black robe, why not just be together?"

"I don't understand." Qiqi shook her head.

"Forget it, wait for Chu Li to come tomorrow and ask him, maybe he knows." Thinking that tomorrow is the fifteenth day, Mu Yunjin's heart was full of joy.

...

the next day.

Mu Yunjin got up early in the morning and sat in front of the dressing table to dress herself up. She can't do complicated buns, but she has learned several ways to do simple buns.

After combing her hair, she painted her lips and blush in front of the bronze mirror, as if she was about to meet her beloved.

After tidying herself up, Mu Yunjin looked in the mirror and sighed. When she and Chu Li went out before, they would wear ponytails all day long and face the sky. Now that they have only been separated for a few days, she has become like this...

I really don't understand myself.

After leaving the gate of the house, Mu Yunjin walked to the mountain outside the house, looked in the direction of the entrance of Huangyu Pavilion, and waited for Chu Li's arrival.

"Master, are you waiting for someone?" Granny Yu leaned on a cane and walked slowly to Mu Yunjin's side.

Mu Yunjin smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'm waiting for my husband."

"So that's how it is..." Granny Yu chuckled, nodded, and looked at the entrance.

Mu Yunjin looked sideways at Granny Yu, "How old is Granny this year?"

"I can't remember." Granny Yu's old voice was full of vicissitudes.

Mu Yunjin pursed her lips, this fish mother-in-law must be someone with a story.

...

Mu Yunjin stood on the side of the mountain and waited from early morning to noon, but she didn't see Chu Li's figure.

"What's going on, you haven't come yet..." Mu Yunjin muttered, and then couldn't help herself, and walked down the mountain.

When walking to the bottom, Mu Yunjin went directly to the stone gate at the entrance.

Qiqi behind her immediately ran up, "Master, where are you going?"

"I'll go outside to see why Chu Li hasn't come yet..." Mu Yunjin pursed her lips and frowned slightly.

Qiqi stopped her, "Wait any longer, it would have taken a while to get from Diehua City to Zhangzhou City, and now Heipao is also in Zhangzhou City, what should you do if you go out rashly and he finds out?"

Mu Yunjin stopped in her tracks.

"Let's have something to eat first." Qiqi pulled her and walked back.

Mu Yunjin sat down on the grass, took a piece of grilled fish handed over by Qiqi, took two bites, and lost her appetite.

Seeing this, Huang Yan said with a smile, "Princess, His Highness will definitely do what he promised you, otherwise he won't promise you at all."

Mu Yunjin nodded, and the corners of her lips parted slightly, as if that was the case.

With a sliver of hope in her arms, Mu Yunjin supported her head, her attention was always on the direction of Shimen, but after waiting, the noon turned into dusk and sunset.

Mu Yunjin's high mood also gradually went down.

Are you going to miss the appointment the first time?

Or... what happened?

Thinking of this possibility, Mu Yunjin couldn't hold back anymore, sat up, and walked quickly towards the Shimen.

Qiqi Huangyan and the others behind them also sensed something was wrong, and hurriedly got up to follow.

After several people came out of the creek together, they stood by the creek, the sky had completely darkened, Mu Yunjin looked around, it was quiet, and there was no one.

"No, I have to go back to the palace to have a look." Mu Yunjin felt more and more flustered.

"Princess, you can stay in Huangyu Pavilion, I will go back to the palace to see the situation." Huang Yan said.

Qiqi also nodded, "Yes, master, you should stay here first, it's getting dark, don't run around."

"Well, I'll use the invisible space to take Huang Yan back. Master, you and Qiqi will go back to the Huangyu Pavilion first." Huaying opened her mouth, and the words had already activated the invisible space.

Mu Yunjin bit her lip, subconsciously clenched her arms, and watched the two figures in front of her disappear out of thin air.

After Huang Yan and Huaying left, Mu Yunjin stood by the stream, wanting to go back but dared not, for fear that Chu Li would come back as soon as she left.

Qiqi sighed softly, "Master, it's very cold here, let's go back."

"En." Mu Yunjin responded.

When the two were about to step into the creek and leave, there were a few small footsteps in the quiet surroundings.

Mu Yunjin and Qiqi were stunned at the same time, and then Qiqi took Mu Yunjin and flew into the bottom of the stream first. The two stood on the steps and looked towards the bank through the stream.

Through the night, Mu Yunjin and Qiqi could see two figures passing by the stream and heading west.

And those two figures were the black-robed Fenglan and Shen Wanning whom I had seen last night.

"Where are the two of them going?" Mu Yunjin looked to the west, looking at the two people who were walking farther and farther away.

"The terrain over there is remote, and there is only one mountain at the end." Qiqi replied.

Mu Yunjin frowned, secretly having a bad premonition in her heart, especially after knowing that Shen Wanning might be the grass witch they were talking about, she no longer dared to underestimate her.

A black robe who is good at witchcraft, plus a grass hag who can tell divination and exorcise evil spirits, it is quite scary to think about it.

The two sat down on the steps, waiting for Huang Yan and Huaying to come back, and also took a look at when Heipao and Shen Wanning would show up again.

"I'm back..." Half an hour later, Qiqi gently pushed Mu Yunjin, and pointed to the black robe and Shen Wanning who passed by the stream.

Mu Yunjin looked along the line of sight, and then looked to the west, "It's late at night, they come here, there must be nothing good."

"How about we go and have a look?" Qiqi was also a little curious.

Hearing this, Mu Yunjin exchanged a glance with Qiqi, and after the black robe and Shen Wanning walked away, the two emerged from the stream and walked back to the stream.

...

At the end of the stream, there is an abandoned barren mountain. There is no grass around the mountain. In the night, it looks strange and cold.

Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking around, Mu Yunjin was blown by the cold wind, and she squeezed her arms tightly, "It's eerie here, let's go..."

"Master, look, there is light..." Qiqi suddenly pointed to a place halfway up the mountain.

Mu Yunjin looked up, and she really saw the faint candlelight coming.

"Go and have a look." Mu Yunjin was brave enough to walk up the mountain after speaking.

Qiqi followed beside Mu Yunjin.

Walking to a position still some distance away from the mountainside, several roars suddenly came from the empty surroundings, which frightened the two of them, and they froze in place.

"Is it howling wolves?" Qiqi asked.

Mu Yunjin listened carefully for a while, and frowned, "It doesn't sound like a wolf's cry."

"Could it be some other monster?" Qiqi stabilized her mind, and took Mu Yunjin's arm, "Master, why don't we go first."

Mu Yunjin thought for a while, then nodded.

The two turned around and walked down the mountain.

After taking two steps, the roar sounded again, painful and manic——

"Cloud, cloud hibiscus... ouch..."

Mu Yunjin and Qiqi stopped at the same time, and it was Qiqi who spoke first, "Master, why do I seem to hear your name?"

"I seem to have heard..."

After all, Mu Yunjin looked towards the halfway up the mountain again, and a thought rang in her mind...

Crazy person, could it be...

After thinking about it, Mu Yunjin walked quickly to the halfway up the mountain, and Qiqi followed her.

When they came to the entrance of the cave with candles on the mountainside, the manic roar became clearer and harsher.

"Yunjin...! Aww..."

Mu Yunjin clenched her fists tightly, and her footsteps were fixed on the door of the cave, but she didn't have the courage to step in.

After a long time, until the roar inside gradually disappeared, Mu Yunjin took a deep breath and walked slowly into the cave.

After entering the cave and seeing the scene inside, Mu Yunjin froze in place, unable to calm down for a long time.

In the cold and damp cave, a ragged man was sitting on the ground with his hands tied with iron chains, his hair disheveled, his eyes were empty and numb, staring at a pink sachet on the ground, muttering in a low voice.

"Isn't this... Qin Munan?" Qi Qi stared at the man for a while before finally recognizing the man's face.

Mu Yunjin felt bitter in her heart, she never thought that Qin Muyue would really treat Qin Munan like this if she was really ruthless.

At this time, Qin Munan, who was muttering, suddenly raised his head, and his eyes fixed on Mu Yunjin in front of him. Joy popped out of his empty eyes, and he got up and ran towards Mu Yunjin.

But the iron chain on his wrist restrained him, and after he took two steps, he was stopped by the iron chain and could no longer move forward.

In an instant, Qin Munan acted like he was going crazy, mobilizing his inner strength, and kept chopping the iron chain with his bare hands, but the iron chain was carefully developed and would not be easily cut off. After a few strokes, Qin Munan's wrist was already stained with blood.

"Ahhh!" Qin Munan roared suddenly, raised his palm and was about to chop off his arm directly.

Mu Yunjin's eyes froze, and she immediately shot out the silver needle, sealing Qin Munan's acupuncture points, and Qin Munan's feet went limp, and he passed out.

"God, how did this happen? He's so good, how could he go crazy like this?" Qiqi was obviously frightened by the scene just now.

If Mu Yunjin hadn't made a timely move, Qin Munan might have already chopped off his own arms, broke free from the chains and rushed here.

"Master, do we want to save him?" Qiqi asked.

Mu Yunjin shook her head, "Not for now, he's been poisoned, it's safest for him to stay here."
