The Sixth Prince cast a meaningful glance at her. "Indeed. The ancestral medical book of the Nangong Family records the cultivation method for a special constitution known as the 'Cold Poison Physique.' This constitution happens to be a unique manifestation within the Royal Bloodline."
"Royal Bloodline?" Nan Gong Shuang and Xiao Zhongyan exclaimed in unison.
"Yes," the Sixth Prince nodded. "I suspect that the annihilation of the Nangong Family was due to their discovery of this secret. Currently, Zheng Yushi and the forces behind him are still pursuing related clues, intending to master the 'Heavenly Fragrance Life-Extending Technique.'"
Nan Gong Shuang fell into deep thought. The Cold Poison Physique was related to the Royal Bloodline? If that were the case, could it be that the Cold Poison within her was not merely a rare constitution but tied to a greater secret?
"We shouldn't linger here," the Sixth Prince said, glancing around. "Zheng Yushi will not let this go easily. If you trust me, you might consider following me to a safe place where we can plan further."
Xiao Zhongyan looked at Nan Gong Shuang, signaling her to make the decision.
After a moment of contemplation, Nan Gong Shuang finally nodded. "Thank you, Your Highness. However, before we proceed, we have an urgent matter—Miss Shen Xinyao is imprisoned in the Dali Temple, and we were originally going to rescue her."
"Shen Xinyao?" The Sixth Prince frowned. "The daughter of the Duke's Residence? How could she be captured?"
"Zheng Yushi suspects she has connections with the Nangong Family," Xiao Zhongyan explained. "If we don't rescue her soon, her life may be in danger."
The Sixth Prince pondered for a moment before making a decision. "Here’s what we'll do: you will first come with me to a safe location. I will send someone to negotiate at the Dali Temple to ensure Miss Shen's safety. Once things calm down, we can find a way to rescue her."
Although Nan Gong Shuang was worried about Shen Xinyao's safety, she understood that acting recklessly in their current situation would only complicate matters further. She nodded in agreement with the Sixth Prince's suggestion.
The three rode through the quiet streets and soon arrived at a secluded manor in the south of the city. There were no markings at the entrance, and while it was heavily guarded, it did not reveal its significance—clearly a hidden important location.
"This is my private residence; very few people know about it," the Sixth Prince led them into the manor. "You two can stay here temporarily and be assured of your safety."
Surrounded by rockeries and flourishing plants, the manor exuded an air of tranquility and elegance. The Sixth Prince brought them to an exquisite small building.
"This is where you will stay; you can rest here," he said gently. "I have instructed my servants to prepare meals and hot water for you; please feel free to use them."
Nan Gong Shuang and Xiao Zhongyan expressed their gratitude once again. The Sixth Prince waved his hand and said, "You both should rest first; we will discuss matters regarding the Nangong Family in detail tomorrow. Oh, there’s one more thing..."
He took out a delicate jade pendant from his robe and handed it to Nan Gong Shuang. "This may be useful for you."
As Nan Gong Shuang received the pendant, she was astonished to find that it was the other half of the Plum Blossom Token! It fit perfectly with the half Xiao Zhongyan had given her, forming a complete plum blossom.
"Your Highness, this..."
The Sixth Prince smiled slightly. "This item was something I stumbled upon in my father's secret treasury; I never knew its purpose until today when I saw your Plum Blossom Mark on your wrist. It seems fate has already arranged our paths."
With that, he bowed and took his leave, leaving Nan Gong Shuang and Xiao Zhongyan filled with questions.
Once the Sixth Prince departed, Nan Gong Shuang immediately took out her previous half of the Plum Blossom Token and joined it with this newly acquired half.
A marvelous scene unfolded. As soon as the two halves were united, the central plum blossom emitted a soft glow; five petals lit up one by one before converging into a thin beam of light that projected onto the opposite wall, forming a map!
