Chapter 1787: Chapter 1784: Yun Tan

Thinking of the child being home alone, neither crying nor fussing, just wanting to spend a little more time with his mother, it didn’t quite seem like cunning; rather, he was overly sentimental, as if there were already signs of it, even though he was still young.

Tender and affectionate, this child, somehow, never makes anyone dislike him.

Chu Heng sighed inwardly, looking at this child who wasn’t in this world in his past life, he couldn’t help but reach out and rub him, feeling like the world had changed, making him like this world even more.

Before long, Nuanbao was cajoled into washing up and going to sleep.

Ye Muyu rubbed her eyes, only then realizing the hour was late. She yawned and followed Chu Heng back to the room.

Sitting on the bed, she spread the quilt out, took off her socks, got into the inside position, lay down, and lazily asked, “Are you done?”

“Yes.” Chu Heng blew out the oil lamp in the room, leaving only the one by the bed. As he sat at the edge of the bed taking off his shoes, he saw a petal on Ye Muyu’s shoe.

He paused, bent down, and reached to pick up the shoe, picking up that petal from the edge.

He looked at it and sniffed it.

“What’s the matter?” Ye Muyu was about to close her eyes and sleep, but after a long time without any movement from Chu Heng, she opened her eyes to look at him.

Chu Heng put down the shoe, straightened up, and said in a somewhat deep voice, “This petal should be from a flower called Yun Tan. I’ve heard it’s only found in the Southern Border and belongs to the Southern Border Royal Family; even commoners rarely see it.”

Ye Muyu’s action of going to sleep halted, and she sat up in some surprise. As Chu Heng came over, she curiously leaned over.

When she wanted to sniff it, she was stopped by Chu Heng.

“Don’t smell it. I’ve heard that this flower is extremely rare even in the Southern Border and is used for sacrificial ceremonies.” Chu Heng blocked Ye Muyu out of concern that there might be something bad, as the medicines of the Southern Border all have some inducive properties.

“Grinding this flower and using it to feed Gu insects is remarkably effective.”

“Look, its leaves are still quite vibrant. Even if the Sacred Girl of Southern Border brought this flower over, it couldn’t have survived this long, especially since this flower is already difficult to cultivate.” As Chu Heng said this, his voice paused, and his whole demeanor showed a slight frown.

“Ah Yu, you rest first. I still need to write a secret letter.”

“I understand, go ahead.” Ye Muyu didn’t expect this accidental discovery.

Chu Heng quickly walked over to the couch, while Ye Muyu kept replaying in her mind where she might have picked up this petal.

But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn’t remember, mainly because she hadn’t noticed this detail from the start. Now, suddenly being questioned about it, her mind had no recollection at all.

When Chu Heng returned, he saw Ye Muyu lightly frowning, as if trying to recall something.

Ye Muyu reached out to rub her forehead, smoothing her eyebrows: “If you can’t remember, it’s fine. Since it appeared at the Buddhist Light Temple, there must be a secret to be found there.”

“Even if you can’t remember, it doesn’t delay anything.” Chu Heng’s voice carried a gentle coax, trying to get her to relax.

Ye Muyu buried her head in his waist: “I was thinking maybe I could provide you some help, but…”

“It’s alright, the places you went today already provided some useful information.”

Chu Heng slowly lay down, making her more comfortable to sleep, and didn’t mind if his wrist got pressed uncomfortably.
