On the last night of camping in the wild, Long Qian slept peacefully.
Chu Dongling stayed with her for the first half of the night, but left again for the second half of the night.
Early the next morning, the team set off.
Long Qian followed some brothers back to the mausoleum.
No one said anything, and even Yuan Feijing didn't know the specific situation.
Three days later, Yuan Feijing strode into Ziyuan with a group of people.
"The imperial edict has arrived." The Grand Eunuch held the edict in his hand and raised his head.
Everyone in Ziyuan knelt on the ground.
"By God's blessing, the emperor has issued an edict saying that Long Qian has made great achievements in developing the antidote. Please come to the palace to receive the reward!"
After the words fell, the Grand Eunuch rolled up the imperial edict.
"Long Qian, take the order!"
Yuan Feijing pushed Long Qian, who stood up and took the imperial edict with both hands.
"Get ready and follow the old slave into the palace." The Grand Eunuch waved his hand.
"Yes, let's get ready right away." Yuan Feijing nodded, pulling the distracted Long Qian away.
Long Qian didn't say anything other than holding on to the imperial edict tightly and keeping up with Yuan Feijing with her feet uncoordinated.
Yuan Feijing pulled her directly into the room, and Dingdang hurriedly came in carrying a basin.
"Princess, you made it this time."
"The Emperor said that whoever develops the antidote to immortality will be heavily rewarded."
Dingdang wiped Long Qian's face and untied her hair.
"This is the first time I've heard of going to the palace to receive a reward. The reward must not be simple."
"You are so strange!" Yuan Feijing glanced at Dingdang in the mirror.
When Dingdang looked up at her, his jaw almost dropped.
"Captain Yuan, you...you actually put on red lips? Isn't it too exaggerated?"
"It's okay." Yuan Feijing put down the rouge box and took out a small handkerchief, "wipe it and the color will fade."
"Who made Long Qian look so good-looking? If I don't modify it, who will notice my existence?"
Dingdang smiled but did not dare to delay, and immediately combed Long Qian's long hair.
"Aren't you used to it? Isn't it strange that someone like Yuan Xiaowei who often goes to the palace should be nervous?"
"Besides, the princess is entering the palace to receive the reward. As her personal bodyguard, you don't actually need too much attention."
"You don't understand!" Yuan Feijing opened another box of rouge, "The palace is full of princes, princes, and princes, so there are many opportunities."
"If I get attracted by someone rich and powerful, I won't need to work hard in the future."
Dingdang made a "puff" sound and laughed.
"If I asked you to be my little wife, would you be willing? Besides, don't you have a ruthless master?"
"He's been so kind to you, are you willing to let him go?"
"Tch!" Yuan Feijing put down the box and opened another one, "I don't like people who are too vulgar, and literati are the best!"
She wiped bright red on her face and spread it gently.
"I'm sure I won't want to. What I want is a man like the prince. Long Qian can do it, and I might be able to do it too."
Yuan Feijing looked at the nondescript makeup in the mirror and stopped what she was doing.
She took another look and picked up the square towel to wipe it with a look of disgust.
"What is it? The more it is painted on, the uglier it becomes."
Yuan Feijing wiped it very hard, as if she was trying to wipe off the skin.
When Dingdang saw this, he immediately grabbed her hand and stopped her: "No! You don't understand. I'll help you later."
But unexpectedly, there was the sound of something being put down next to him.
The two of them turned around at the same time and saw Long Qian taking off the pearl hairpin he had just placed on his head.
"Princess, what's wrong?" Dingdang let go of Yuan Feijing and returned behind Long Qian.
Long Qian looked at herself in the mirror and frowned.
"Can the emperor give me some cash? I don't want to enter the palace."
