Yanran softly replied and did not speak again, enjoying the temperature of the youth.

"Yanran, it's getting late, you should go back now. "I don't want Uncle Dongfang to worry." Qingyang gently kissed her forehead as he spoke.

Her body trembled as she thought to herself that she was lucky it was night. Yan Ran's face was completely red, but how could she not be able to tell with Qingyang's eyesight?

The delicate figure in her arms tightened, but Qingyang didn't point it out. After Yanran calmed down a bit, Qingyang led Yanran to the carriage outside the courtyard.

"Yanran, how about I bring mother back to the Eastern Palace in a few days? Say my aunt. There really is no shortage of all sorts of medicinal herbs here at the Eastcalm Manor. " Just as Yanran was about to board the carriage, Qingyang asked softly.

"Mm. Today, I'll talk to father about this. He should agree to it, and there will be more empty houses in our house. It's also very convenient for us to take care of mother." Yanran thought for a moment before nodding.

With a faint smile, he looked at Yanran and said, "The clouds want clothes to be beautiful, the spring wind to be beautiful." "Were it not for the arrival of a group of Yushan Mountains, they would surely have met at the Moon of Yao Tai.

Under Yanran's reprimanding and embarrassed gaze, Qingyang laughed as he turned around and returned to his room.

"..."

Two days later, under Qingyang's treatment, Chen Lian's body had also improved quite a bit, and her spirit was no longer as sluggish as it was before.

When Yanran returned that day, she also discussed this matter with Dongfang Bo. Naturally, Dongfang Bo, who valued Qingyang greatly, nodded in agreement. The next day, the room was also cleaned up by the servants.

"Mother, today I will bring you to live at the Dongfang manor. The environment is better, and it will be much easier to take care of." Qingyang whispered as he supported Chen Lian as they walked slowly into the courtyard.

"That won't do, how can I have the nerve to go live with the girl?" Hearing that, Chen Lian quickly declined, "Child, mother is living quite well here." "There's no need to go through all this trouble."

Qingyang frowned and pretended to be angry. "Mother, I promised Uncle Wu that I would take good care of you, and Yanran is not an outsider. If you don't go, I won't be happy."

After a few days of contact, Qingyang realized that his mother was very fond of him. She was afraid that he would be angry, like a mother who had just given birth to a child. She allowed the child to be willful, so she prepared this tactic.

Seeing that Qingyang was truly angry, Chen Lian hurriedly said: "Then what if Uncle Wu comes back to see me and isn't at home?"

"Mother, don't worry. The herbs Uncle Wu picked are far away in the Western Barbarian Land, and he won't be able to return in the near future. Thus, I told him long ago that I would bring you to the Eastern Residence to recuperate and find me to go there myself."

He looked at Qingyang doubtfully. Then, Chen Lian asked, "Really?"

"When did you ever see me lie to you?" Qingyang stared directly into Chen Lian's eyes as he softly chuckled.

Seeing the gentleness and kindness in her chestnut eyes, Chen Lian was silent for a moment before finally nodding in agreement.

At noon, Yanran brought some delicious meals from home. After Qingyang and Chen Lian finished their lunch, the two of them helped Chen Lian into the carriage.

Yesterday, before Yanran left, Qingyang had instructed the carriage they were riding to need some mattresses and soft beds. Thus, Yanran had specially taken a large carriage from her home to prepare some soft mattresses.

After Chen Lian got on the carriage, Qingyang made her lie down flat on the mattress. This kind of body really couldn't be too bumpy on the road. Qingyang also instructed the coachman to slow down as much as possible.

An hour later, Qingyang brought Chen Lian to Dongfang Bo and told him in detail about Chen Lian's current condition. Of course, he told Dongfang Bo the truth about her illness, but he also concealed his identity, saying that she was his aunt.

However, Qingyang felt that if he were to tell Dongfang Bo about the matter with Wu Yu and Chen Lian, it would likely cause Dongfang Bo's heart to be dissatisfied. After all, it might lead to some disaster.

After settling Chen Lian down, Qingyang was invited by Dongfang Bo into the study and the two sat down.

"Qingyang, the Second Prince returned to the capital a few days ago. He specifically asked me to bring some words for you. " Dongfang Bo smiled.

Qingyang frowned as he thought to himself. He did not have any relationship with the Second Prince, and he could not be considered a friend either. In fact, there were even some who did not like the shrewd Second Prince, so what was he supposed to tell him?

Seeing that Qingyang didn't say anything, Dongfang Bo continued, "The Second Prince said he hopes that you can visit the capital in February. He will definitely entertain you well."

These words were extremely abrupt. Why did it have to be set for the next February? Qingyang was baffled.

"Uncle Dongfang, why does this Second Prince want me to visit the capital next February?" Azure Sun asked doubtfully.

"I can only blame myself for not making it clear to you that every ten years, the capital will hold a grand young event called the Medicine Board Competition. In the next two months, it will be the start of the Medicine Board Battle." Dongfang Bo apologetically smiled and explained.

"The competition for the Medicinal List?"

"That's right. If one can obtain the top ten ranks on the Medicine Board, not only would they receive fame and fortune, they would also receive a great invitation from the Southern Wong Royal Family. All of the pharmacists below the rank would want to borrow money to fight for the Medicine Ranking, or to become famous, or to be able to be conferred the title of an official." Dongfang Bo sighed.

Qingyang nodded his head thoughtfully. He knew that this was probably a method to recruit top pharmacists from the Nanxiang clan. The Second Prince probably wanted him to serve the Nanxiong clan.

"But, I'm not too interested in this kind of empty title, Uncle Dongfang." After pondering for a moment, Qingyang opened his mouth and said, "The position of official is just like floating clouds to me. I don't think I'll participate in this ranking battle."

"Qingyang, do you think that entering the top ten ranks of the Medicine List with the invitation of the royal family will be used by the Nangrong family?" Dongfang Bo seemed to have seen through Qingyang's thoughts as he asked with a smile.

Qingyang nodded and didn't deny it, "Uncle Dongfang, that's indeed the case. I'm used to idling around, so I don't want to have any restrictions. "

"Haha, I knew you would think that." Dongfang Bo laughed out loud, "Don't worry, entering the top ten won't necessarily mean that the alchemist will be invited. Many proud and arrogant alchemists won't even be moved by the fame and wealth in the top ten. The South Rong Family has no other choice."

"Moreover, the top three rewards are indeed generous. Even if it's not for the South Rong family to use, you should go and obtain the top three rewards." Dongfang Bo seriously replied, "With your talent and age, there shouldn't be any problems."

Qingyang was a bit moved by Dongfang Bo's explanation. He was quite curious when he heard that the top three rewards would be called extravagant. "Uncle Dongfang, what exactly is this grand gift you're talking about?"

Smiling mysteriously, Dongfang Bo softly said, "I heard the Second Prince mention it before he left. The top three rewards this time are Dragon Breaking Method, Exquisite Heart, and an ancient weapon that has yet to be seen through, the Yin Moon Ring."
