Liu Xihua also said that Du Ran's decision was inappropriate for the following reasons:

1. My dear Princess, if you don't want to be a princess anymore, will I still stay in the palace as a doctor? If I continue to be a doctor, who will pay me the monthly salary?

2. Princess, if you don't want to be a princess anymore, what will happen to our Xusheng Restaurant and Xusheng Winery? Will they still be open? It would be a big loss to just quit such a profitable business? If you quit, can you sell it to him at a low price and let him buy on credit first?

3. The princess is no longer a princess, what will happen to the secrets of the palace? Will Mu Zhou stay to investigate? If Mu Zhou stays, what reason should he find to stay as well? If Mu Zhou leaves, what will happen to the treasures of the palace? Should he stay or leave! (He only dared to complain silently in his heart)

Du Ran had actually thought about it a long time ago. After she woke up from the poisoning, she began to plan her own escape.

There was really no point in guarding an empty palace. Moreover, if she wanted to remarry or stop being a princess as a living person, she would have to report to the emperor through various procedures. Whether he would approve or not was another matter. Other people just loved to gossip and say that she was fickle and unbearable to hear. Why should she seek such unhappiness?

"Doctor Liu, don't worry! Of course I will still open the restaurant and the winery, and if you want to stay in the palace, you can stay. If you want to follow me, I can definitely afford the monthly salary. It's up to you!" Du Ran patted Liu Xihua's shoulder and said affectionately.

Ever since Mu Zhou jumped up and said those words just now, he hasn't spoken again. Instead, he stood at the door with a heavy heart, as if he didn't hear what Liu Xihua and Du Ran said just now.

Until Du Ran patted him and said, "Don't you have anything to ask?"

Mu Zhou looked at her for a while and shook his head.

Du Ran's originally cheerful expression faded, and he said with a hint of disappointment: "It's up to you then!"

"Doctor Liu, don't forget to bring me along when you announce the Queen's death!" Du Ran turned around and gave instructions, trying to maintain a relaxed tone, but his eyes were unconsciously filled with tears.

Seeing this, Liu Xihua quickly explained: "Don't be afraid, Princess. I'm just announcing your death. I'm not really going to kill you. Don't cry!"

Du Ran was embarrassed and quickly wiped away his tears: "Liu Xihua, are you sick? Who is crying?"

"then you……"

"I'm just too excited!"

Du Ran turned around and prepared to run out. At this time, Mu Zhou said quietly: "I don't care who you follow, as long as you pay me the monthly salary on time! It doesn't matter whether you are the queen or not!"

Du Ran understood what Mu Zhou meant. He continued to follow her. Inexplicably, her heart seemed to be lifted up, and then swayed gently, happy and relaxed...

"Who cares!" Du Ran said with a curled mouth. Her unstoppable smile made her feel embarrassed and she quickly ran out.

Mu Zhou was confused. He had said he would follow her, so why did she run away? Was she really unwilling and uninterested?

The Queen stood aside and looked at Mu Zhou: "You two, something is wrong."

"What's going on?! Is there an assassin?!" Mu Zhou immediately became alert. Liu Xihua was so scared that he quickly took a few steps back and looked outside the door nervously, fearing that a few men in black would fly in at this time.

The Queen Mother was going to die of his stupidity, but there was no point in saying more. It was up to the parties involved to figure it out themselves. Whether they were destined to be together depended on the development of these two people, and it was not something that could be decided by just a few words from her.

"How come I really had an epiphany? Could it be that I really have an immortal root?" The Queen was shocked by her own understanding and said to herself.

"Empress, what enlightenment?" Liu Xihua came up quickly and asked.

The Queen immediately shook her head, looking embarrassed: "That...it's nothing, don't call me Queen anymore, I'm not the Queen anymore, my real name is Zhong Wangqiu, you can call me Miss Zhong."

Liu Xihua blushed and her heart beat fast. Under Zhong Wangqiu's gaze, she murmured in a low voice: "Miss Zhong."

Zhong Wangqiu smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I heard someone call me by my name like this. It's so kind!"

Liu Xihua quickly apologized: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"There is no such thing as the Queen. You must never call her that again!"

Liu Xihua didn't dare to raise his eyes and could only nod repeatedly.

The news of the Queen and Princess' death quickly spread throughout the Yunsha Dynasty.

At the same time, an unknown fire broke out in Tianshu Mountain, and the people said it was the wrath of heaven.

The emperor originally cared about whether he could achieve immortality, and with An Suye also whispering in his ear, the emperor built a very luxurious cenotaph for the queen, and then went to Tianshu Mountain to hold a memorial ceremony, filling it with rare treasures in order to appease the wrath of heaven.

"I didn't expect that I could make a fortune in the end. It's a guaranteed profit!" Du Ran congratulated Zhong Wangqiu.

"He just owes me something!" Zhong Wangqiu said calmly, "From now on, we owe each other nothing, and I hope we'll never meet again!"

"Don't worry, get ready for your new life!" Du Ran encouraged her: "Where are you going next?"

"I...I haven't thought about it either."

"Do you still remember the rouge shop you bought for me? It's in Yuecheng. If you don't mind, I'll transfer the shop to you and you can be the boss. How about that?" Du Ran suggested, "I never had the chance to give you the dividends from your investment before. I'll give them to you when you get there!"

Zhong Wangqiu was a little nervous. She hadn't been in contact with the outside world for a long time and didn't know if she could adapt.

"Don't be afraid, we have helpers, it will definitely be possible!" Du Ran saw Zhong Wangqiu's concerns and made the decision for her: "It's settled, the Rouge Shop still has to rely on us. After all, we are the ones who actually use it on your face!"

Zhong Wangqiu nodded with his eyes shining, and shook Du Ran's hand solemnly: "Thank you for helping me. If you need my help in the future, just ask!"

"We are from the same hometown, so it's strange to say thank you. Besides, didn't you help me enter the palace for the first time?" Du Ran said with a smile.

"Are you from the same hometown?" Mu Zhou was a little confused.

Du Ran rolled his eyes at him: "Is it your business?"

As far as he knew, she and Zhong Wangqiu couldn't be from the same hometown, but why did she say that? Mu Zhou was thoughtful.

At this time, in a mountain village, a man wearing a black ghost mask sat in the leader's seat and listened to his subordinates' reports.

"When did it happen?" The masked leader asked in a deep tone, his clenched fists showing that he was trying his best to endure the shock of this incident.

"Five days ago."

"A visible body?"

"No, Tianshu Mountain suddenly caught fire and no one survived."

"Impossible!" The masked leader shouted, "Pass the order down. Anyone who sees this portrait must bring her back to the village intact! Anyone who stands in the way will be killed!"
