Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"Mr. Ye, Miss Liu, do you two want to buy pastries?"

Liu Laizi couldn't help but ask when he saw Ye Fan and Liu Mengying standing at the door of the pastry shop.

"Oh, we want to buy mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but we have been shopping all morning and haven't seen any stores selling them!"

Ye Fan spoke a little depressed.

"Mooncakes for Mid-Autumn Festival?!"

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Liu Laizi's expression immediately changed drastically.

"Liu Laizi, this moon cake......"

"Shh!"

As Ye Fan said this, Liu Laizi hissed at him with an anxious expression.

"Mr. Ye, this is not the place to talk. Please move quickly..."

...........

After a while, under the leadership of Liu Laizi, the three of them arrived at a private room facing the street of a teahouse.

"Liu Laizi, what's wrong with this mooncake? Why are you so nervous?"

Ye Fan looked at the frightened Liu Laizi in front of him and said in confusion.

"Mr. Ye...you...you really don't know what this moon cake means?"

Liu Laizi took a sip of tea and spoke to Ye Fan seriously.

"What does it mean?"

Ye Fan looked confused, "Isn't mooncakes eaten for family reunions during the Mid-Autumn Festival? Does it mean something terrible?"

"Mr. Ye... If you eat moon cakes... only the royal family of the previous dynasty would insist on eating moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival..."

Liu Laizi swallowed his saliva, "Because... the entire Mingyuan Dynasty, from the princes to the common people, is very taboo about mooncakes... let alone eating them before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Oh...this will lead to death!"

"I'll go, is it so outrageous... the former royal family..."

Hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but be stunned.

"If that's the case, then big brother...it makes sense that we've been shopping all morning and haven't seen anyone selling mooncakes..."

Liu Mengying took up the conversation, "The pastry shop owner just now was scared when he heard that we wanted to buy mooncakes, so it makes sense..."

"But eating moon cakes is very important... When I was a kid, every time during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old melon grower would eat moon cakes, make tea, and admire the moon with me..."

Ye Fan frowned slightly and muttered.

"this………."

Seeing that Ye Fan had not given up on eating mooncakes, Liu Laizi spoke again, "Mr. Ye, if you want to eat mooncakes, you can wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival. This way, even if someone is really talking about it, you can barely explain it!"

"Mooncakes are also called Mid-Autumn Festival cakes. It's already passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, so are they still called Mid-Autumn Festival cakes?"

Ye Fan asked back.

"I………."

Liu Laizi was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

...........

Not long after, Ye Fan, Liu Mengying, and Liu Laizi walked out of the teahouse.

Liu Laizi watched Ye Fan and Liu Mengying leave and sighed. He didn't try to persuade her. At first, he felt that he couldn't persuade him at all. Ye Fan valued eating moon cakes very much, and he didn't dare to ask in detail... Secondly, during the period when he was recovering from his leg injury, Xuanhong Pavilion encountered a lot of troubles, and many of his relatives and friends also had troubles, which he urgently needed to deal with...

"Liu Laizi, you'd better not meddle in other people's business. There are some people you can't afford to offend!"

Liu Laizi was about to go back to Xuanhong Pavilion to handle matters when suddenly, a cold voice sounded.

He turned around and found that the speaker was no stranger to him, it was Zhou Guoxiang, the shopkeeper of Huichun Hall.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, have you misunderstood me?"

Liu Laizi frowned and spoke. He was very confused and didn't know where he had offended the other party.

"Misunderstanding?! Pretending to be confused because you understand, right?"

Zhou Guoxiang sneered, "Liu Laizi, let me tell you, if you get involved with that kid Ye Fan, that kid is dead. You can't protect him at all!"

"Ye Fan? Can't you cover it?"

Hearing Zhou Guoxiang's angry words, Liu Laizi couldn't help but be stunned.

"Humph!"

Before Liu Laizi could speak again, Zhou Guoxiang snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, turned and left.

"I………"

Liu Laizi slapped his head and suddenly realized that he had been wondering why Xuanhong Pavilion had so many troubles inexplicably these days. Some of his relatives were even imprisoned and were helpless...

Judging from what Zhou Guoxiang just said, there is probably some kind of conflict between Zhou Guoxiang and Ye Fan, and Zhou Guoxiang also thinks that he is Ye Fan's supporter. After all, Ye Fan had a close relationship with him during the treatment of his leg injury... …..

Liu Laizi suddenly felt aggrieved when he understood, because if he was qualified to be Ye Fan's backer and Zhou Guoxiang dared to trick him like this, he would directly kill Zhou Guoxiang...

Although Liu Laizi is not particularly strong, because of his status as a doctor, he has access to a lot of information. He knows very well that although the demise of the Lin family was Liu Ran's handiwork, Ye Fan definitely got into the city lord's mansion and escaped unscathed. There are even rumors in the market that Lin Zihao died at the hands of Ye Fan, and the reason why the Lin family perished was inseparable from the fact that he had offended Ye Fan...

………….

the next day,

"Brother, what are we buying these things for?"

Liu Mengying looked curiously at the many bags she and Ye Fan were carrying.

"Oh, little bean sprouts, I plan to make mooncakes by myself!"

After asking around yesterday and finding out that no one was selling mooncakes, Ye Fan planned to make mooncakes himself.

"Nuts, honey, raisins, flour... there is still some jelly missing... little bean sprouts, let's go and make jelly by stepping on some fresh flowers and fruits..."

"Okay!~"

…………

at dusk,

On the outskirts of Jiangzhou City, in a remote dense forest,

"Brother, there are so many fresh flowers and fruits~!"

Liu Mengying's face flushed with excitement. She heard from Ye Fan that the mooncakes were delicious, so she worked very hard in picking them.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, there was a roar of a tiger, and there was a sound of running.

In a moment, a rather embarrassed figure dressed as a hunter appeared in their field of vision.

"Run quickly, the tiger is coming!"

The hunter saw two figures not far ahead and shouted immediately.

"Hey~ It's actually him!"

Seeing Orion running in a hurry and turning his head to look at him from time to time, Ye Fan couldn't help but be a little surprised, because he was the thin monkey he had seen in Green River Town.

It was Shouhou who exposed Fei Ming's trick to deceive him and Liu Mengying...

After a while, the thin monkey ran to Ye Fan's side, a look of surprise appeared on his face, "It's you...run away, the tiger is chasing..."

"Roar!"

After the thin monkey finished speaking, a tiger roar sounded again, and a huge figure with yellow and gray stripes rushed out of the dense forest and headed straight for Ye Fan and the others.

"Stop standing there, if you don't run away..."

The thin monkey disappeared midway through his words, because Ye Fan stepped forward and kicked the big tiger away.

"Uh...so...so awesome..."

Shouhou looked at the background where Ye Fan and Liu Mengying left, and murmured to himself.

..........

The night falls,

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying returned to Chujian Inn. Originally, the innkeeper did not allow guests to use the kitchen, but after Ye Fan took out the shining silver ingot, he happily agreed.

After some busy work, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying fell asleep.
