Niantong twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "You are very good at joking. I might as well make jokes about you too? Yes, have you seen Jisheng look at you just now?".

"I..." Qu Yiran immediately lost the spirit he had just now and blushed.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, although you are careful, you are actually the only one in your eyes and hearts." Niantong said, "I thought that people like Jisheng would not have someone they like, but I didn't expect that he would be moved by you... Our still charm is indeed very great."

"Stop talking." Qu Yiran said coquettishly.

"Then, why are you so arrogant when you said you were interested in me? Now when you talk about your own serious things, you have changed your expression?"

Qu Yiran couldn't help but talk: "Where are you, Tang Xi so proud, aren't you still fascinated by you?"

Niantong turned her head and said, "How do I know why he likes me? I am not like you, beautiful and talented, I am so ordinary, you know."

"This may be the legendary carrot and vegetables, everyone has their own preferences." Qu Yiran said.

"What are you doing? You and Jisheng..."

"No, he never said he liked me." Qu Yiran found out that he had fallen into Niantong's trap again and was very angry.

"What about you, do you like him? Otherwise, how could you blush when you talk about him?" Nian Tong said with a smile.

"Do I...have?" Qu Yiran subconsciously touched his face.

"Yes, you always say that I don't understand feelings, but in fact you know nothing about it yourself. For example, Qin Sang." Niantong said.

"Well... Qin Sang is indeed..." Qu Yiran said thoughtfully. After all, she and Nian Tong are women, and they are always a bit delicate and sensitive to feelings. However, Qin Sang is really stubborn about feelings, like a fool, or Ming Luo. If another woman likes him, he will definitely agree.

"What kind of person do you think the daughter of Kunlun King is?" Niantong asked.

"Yes... you haven't seen her. I've seen her before in Kunlun. She is a pretty sweet woman, but when she encounters difficulties, she is not as vulnerable as she imagines. She is very lively and lively, not like a peerless beauty..." Qu Yiran recalled.

"Isn't such a woman the easiest to get the likes of men?" Niantong said.

"You are such a woman too. Except, you are not spoiled. You are the most delicate, but the cutest, and the most..."

"Don't put so many high hats on me all at once, okay..." Niantong was still amused by her, and there was a little more joy in her nervous journey.

I set off at night and at noon the next day, I finally arrived at Hongyeling.

Because Niantong didn't know the way from Hongyeling to Tingfeng Village, she had to rest for a few hours, had lunch, and studied the route.

Because the autumn is so strong, the maple leaves on Hongye Ridge are simply overwhelming, more beautiful than Niantong last time. She felt that her entire vision was full of red maple leaves. Such a beautiful place was actually competed for by the court and Hongxiu Villa as objects, which was really chilling.

In Niantong's heart, it snowed all year round, the pure and flawless Huashan Mountain and the red leaf ridge gradually dyed by the forests are really the most beautiful fairyland on earth.

Qu Yiran has never passed Hongye Ridge in the future. The first time I came here, I was shocked by such a scenery.

"People who have come to our Cuizhu say that Cuizhu is a fairyland in Penglai, surrounded by mountains and rivers. I used to think so, and even, I think the world outside is like this. But when I walked out of Cuizhu and saw my senior sister outside, I realized that the scenery in the north and south of the Yangtze River is different... I saw the prosperous Yangzhou City and the majestic Kunlun. Today, I saw such a beautiful maple leaf forest again..." Qu Yiran said.

"I didn't expect that you would like this here so much, but it's a pity..."

"What a pity? Don't be a pity. If you are afraid, then be brave enough to avoid it." Qu Yiran said, "Now, what we have to do is what we are doing now."

Niantong looked out the window and it was already night. She had been waiting for the night to come and went to Hongxiu Villa at night without disturbing others.

Qu Yiran was right, and he should do the things he is doing first.

Following the map he drew after inquiring, Niantong and Qu Ran successfully arrived at the foot of Hongxiu Villa in Tingfeng Village.

When Hongxiu Villa entered the night, the guards were only a fewer than during the day, but it was better to have a fewer groups than a few. The gate could not be reached, so I could only pass through the wall.

"I noticed that every quarter of the day I was in Hongxiu Villa, a team of people would be about fifteen patrols every quarter of an hour. It would be better to avoid them, but it would be better to avoid them, so as not to cause a commotion. Still, I'll go up and take a look first."

"Okay." Qu Yiran nodded.

After saying that, Niantong turned around lightly, jumped up to the eaves, and looked in. In addition to a few houses, there were lights on, and there were no walking guards holding the lights. Niantong lowered her head and said to Qu Yiran: "Come up."

Qu Yiran immediately followed her pace.

"This Hongxiu Villa is so big... it is already comparable to some in the palace." Qu Yiran said softly.

Niantong sneered: "A little villain has the same territory as the palace."

"Can you find that elixir hall?" Qu Yiran asked.

"I dare not say anything else. I have really been familiar with the Elixir Palace." Nian Tong said, "My maid takes me to Hongxiu Villa every day, and this place I pay most attention to."

Qu Yiran asked: "Did you know about Tang Xi being poisoned very early?"

Niantong paused and said, "Yes."

It took half an hour to stop and avoid patrol people, pay attention to the route, and find the Elixir Hall.

"Niantong, it's locked here." Qu Yiran said.

"It's late at night, of course I have to lock it up, just to prevent us from stealing pills like this."

"Wow, you seem to be very proud of what you said." Qu Yiran smiled.

Niantong shook her head: "Stop quarrel with me, just think about how to unlock it."

"Yeah..." Qu Yiran thought about it and took off a thin silver hairpin from his head. "I'll try it." While speaking, he walked around to Niantong and inserted the silver hairpin into the keyhole. He didn't know what was going on. With a "click", he heard the sound of the lock falling to the ground.

Niantong was so shocked that her chin was about to fall off: "You, you... can you... even pick the lock?"

"Do you think I am the kind of dull lady of a family..." Qu Yiran raised his face proudly, "When we were in Cuizhu, we even had food control every day. When I was younger, I couldn't stand being hungry at night, so I secretly ran to the kitchen to steal food. On several occasions, the door was locked, and my senior sisters taught me to unlock the lock with a hairpin."

"This is also a technology..." Niantong exclaimed.

"Stop talking, go in quickly." Qu Yiran blinked at Nian Tong and walked into the Pill Hall.

This is also the first time Niantong enters, but it is much larger than what it looks outside. There are a circle of cabinets outside, with six or seven rows of grids, and there are about hundreds of thousands of kinds of elixirs, poisons, and tonics. In the middle is a elixir furnace, which looks a bit like the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun in the book.

"It's so dark here, you can't see anything..." Qu Yiran said.

Niantong also had a bitter face and could not bring a candle, otherwise it would be too easy to be discovered by people outside. However, there was no light and so many medicine bottles, I couldn't see the words on the medicine bottle clearly, let alone find the antidote to Xiyan poison.

"You look for it from there, and I go from here. We may move separately, and it may be faster." Niantong said.

Qu Yiran nodded.

There were also rays of moonlight outside the window. Niantong could barely see the words on the small bottle and look down one by one.

Qu Yiran couldn't help but say: "Can you put these things in Hongxiu Villa be a bit regular? The poison and pills are all mixed together, and there is no way, so I have to look for them one by one. It's not convenient for them to find them by themselves..."

"I feel deeply the same." Niantong curled her lips, "We also have a pharmacy in Huashan, but the elixirs are placed in an orderly manner. How can they be like this place..."

Qu Yiran finished finding a cabinet and ran to Niantong: "I'd better look for it closer to you. We are so far away and we are talking too loudly."

Niantong put down the movements in her hand and frowned: "It's not a solution for us to continue looking for this. Once we ignore a certain bottle, our efforts will not be in vain..."

Suddenly, there were footsteps outside. It sounded that there were at least a dozen people. Niantong took a step back in a panic and collided with Qu Yiran. Qu Yiran heard the footsteps and was a little uneasy. In a daze, he bumped into the Japanese next to him. He only heard a large piece of porcelain falling to the ground and breaking. Both of them gritted their teeth and almost rolled their eyes.

"Who is inside?" A voice from outside came.

Just as they were about to run first and jump out of the window, a gentle and familiar voice suddenly came.

"I opened this lock. I went out and just came back."

"So it's Mr. Yun. Don't you rest so late?"

"Well. You guys go patrol first. When I came from there just now, I felt something was wrong. You guys go there first to take a look."

"yes."

Niantong's face was a little strange, and Qu Yiran looked at her, feeling strange, but she didn't say anything.

After a while of silence outside, the door of the Pill Palace was slowly pushed open.

Qu Yiran pulled Niantong's sleeve. Although Niantong was a little nervous, she didn't say anything and looked directly at Yun Weichen who was walking in through the gate.

Qu Yiran whispered: "Do you know him?"

Niantong nodded with a serious expression and didn't say much.
