Yan Zhi stopped eating and finally calmed down. The habitual etiquette in her bones showed her noble birth.

The woman had a charming yet flamboyant look, and a naive yet innocent look. She had large almond-shaped eyes with upturned corners. She stopped eating, and the corners of her lips were slightly upturned, revealing her natural enthusiasm.

"As soon as he arrived, he was busy going into the mountains. This time he hasn't returned for nearly ten days. I wonder if that thing has such a great attraction to him? He almost forgot about my existence."

The corners of Yan Zhi's mouth curled up wantonly, with dissatisfaction and anger in her expression. It seemed that she liked her fiancé very much.

The surname Yan should be the national surname of Northern Yan.

The little maid called her princess, so it seems that she should be a princess of the Beiyan royal family.

This information is consistent with the secret letter sent by Yin Jie. The Beiyan royal family also came here to look for clues about the orphans of the previous dynasty.

Qian You looked at Yan Zhi with a smile, guessing silently in his heart.

There is only one piece of fish noodles for lunch and dinner every day, and there are about a hundred bowls, which are sold out while stocks last. This is why there is a long queue at Cha Cha Fish Noodle Restaurant.

After Qiao Nan finished her work and went into the house, she saw Qian You chatting happily with two women. She recognized them as the master and servant who had come to eat noodles every day for the past two days.

"Qiao Nan, my sister. Yan Zhi, a friend I just met."

Qian You introduced her to Yan Zhi with a smile.

The two of them greeted each other politely. They were of the same age and quickly became familiar with each other. Even Jingsi, who came in later, quickly became familiar with Xiaoru and took her to find Qiufeng to make hawthorn tea together.

For several days in a row, Yan Zhi came to the Cha Cha Fish Noodle Restaurant early in the morning. Along with everyone else, she went from waiting for noodles to serving noodles to serving noodles to customers or organizing the queue.

She was extremely happy every day. She would unconsciously circle around Qianyou all day long and enjoy the various exotic foods and drinks that Qianyou fed her.

The Great Elder led his men into the mountains and returned ten days later.

The fruitless investigation was also expected.

But they also found out that the person sent by the Beiyan royal family this time was the future prince consort. He and his men had been stationed in Qingshan for more than a month, searching every inch of it, as if they wanted to turn Qingshan upside down.

Qian You followed the Great Elder into Qingshan. She found that the medicinal herbs were not as scarce as rumored. They were all common and commonly used herbs. She was not very interested in them, so she no longer insisted on exploring Qingshan.

These days, she was more interested in the gossips of people coming and going in the Cha Cha Fish Noodle Restaurant, and learned a lot of rumors about Jishui Village.

Nearly twenty years ago, Jishui Village was still an unknown and remote mountain village, where people lived a life of fishing, collecting herbs and hunting, just like most remote villages.

The one who broke the peace here was a family named Chen.

The Chen family is a family of hunters. The two strong sons go into the mountains to hunt with their father, and they live a relatively wealthy life in the village.

He had only one daughter, who was almost of marriageable age. She was pretty and was considered a famous beauty in the surrounding villages, with many marriage proposals coming her way.

The trouble started when two relatives came to this family to seek refuge.

Chen the Hunter's sister, who had been away from home for more than 20 years, was a middle-aged woman called Mother Chen. She brought a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old with her. It was said that she had no one to rely on and returned to her mother's home to live with her biological brother who had the same father and mother as her.

The girl was gentle and dignified, and even her tattered clothes could not hide her stunning figure. She immediately attracted the attention of the villagers, and Chen's sister-in-law also started to set her sights on this girl.

However, what was surprising was that no matter how many times those who tried to steal the girl at night, they could not get close to her and were blocked by all kinds of tricks. For a while, people in the village privately rumored that the girl had magical powers. This allowed Mother Chen and the girl to live a peaceful life for more than a month, until their private conversation was overheard by another woman.

The daughter of the Chen family is jealous of the foreign woman.

Since her arrival, her most proud beauty has shone like the stars and the moon. Where is her previous confidence?

One of her younger sisters worked in the Shi Mansion in the town.

The dandy young master of the Shi family had long been interested in the girl named Chen, and would always send the maid to give her some small jewelry and other items. In a fit of anger, she told the maid the conversation she had overheard.

Who could have expected that two months later, someone from the royal capital would come.

Zhenguo Hou Shi Hai came to the town in person, and the head of the Shi family's branch was so happy that he mobilized all the resources of the town to welcome him, but Zhenguo Hou Shi Hai went straight to Jishui Village.

A large number of people flocked to the small village, and the villagers also rushed out. The rare bustle in a century made the small village more chaotic than during the Chinese New Year.

In this chaotic time, the weak woman had to leave her seriously ill mother Chen behind and took a boat alone to the green mountains on the other side of the river, and disappeared from then on.

The Marquis of Zhenguo sent his soldiers to search the mountain for more than a month, but heavy snow blocked the mountain, so they had to return empty-handed.

Before leaving, he took the Chen family and the seriously ill Chen mother with him.

A year later, the villagers of Jishui village learned from the merchants who came and went in the royal capital that Chen's sister had entered the palace and became a noble lady. The whole family also became royal relatives. His Majesty granted them a mansion, and they settled in the royal capital from then on, becoming the best of the best.

The Chen family became a legend in Jishui Village.

But no one could tell why or what kind of fate had happened to this family. They just guessed it was related to the missing woman. The villagers only knew that the woman was called Miss Yi Yi by Mother Chen.

Since then, more and more people have come to the royal capital to look for a girl named Yi Yi.

With the coming and going of people, the originally withered and lonely little village became lively and gradually took on its present appearance, a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and full of stories in Beiyan.

Of course, this story was fabricated by later generations and the original plot has long been lost.

There are many versions of rumors about Miss Yi Yi. Some say she is a princess of the previous dynasty, some say she is a queen who escaped from marriage in the palace, and some say she is a fairy who fell into the mortal world...

In short, in the following years, she became the person in everyone's story.

Every day Qian You listened to people who had come and gone from Qingshan and Jishui Village, each telling different versions of the story that they had heard from somewhere, and gradually he sorted out the thread.

The girl that everyone calls Yi Yi should be her mother.

The woman she had only glanced at, with unshed tears in her eyes.

The woman who was plotted against and died in the backyard.

The woman who thought she had escaped the pursuit of fate and found her true love, only to fall into another conspiracy again.

Her heart was tightly gripped with pain.

What kind of extraordinary conversation did the daughter of the Chen family hear that caused the master and servant who had fled to a remote mountain village to be chased again?

Also, who is Mother Chen?

How did she manage to bring the five-year-old princess out of the coup d'état of the previous dynasty?

How could the emperor of the previous dynasty, as mentioned by the Great Elder, have the heart to let his only daughter suffer so much in this world?

Also, are there other ways to open the secret room?

Or is her blood really the key to unlocking the secret room?

Qian You was disturbed by all kinds of gossip, and a woman's figure would always appear in her dreams every night, with her back to her.

When she cried out, the figure disappeared without leaving any trace. She was the only one who woke up in tears again and again.
