Chapter 453 -454: Locking Her in a Secret Room, Right?!
Liu Zhinan pressed several times on a wall, and abruptly, a door opened.
Qi Yue quietly assessed the likelihood and success rate of Liu Zhinan making a move against her, and calmly followed him in.
The room was still a study, but it was simpler and more plain, which made Qi Yue couldn’t help but make a joke.
“Uncle, you are a bit too stingy. I thought it was some kind of treasure trove!”
“You child, aren’t I doing this for your identity?” Liu Zhinan lightly touched on the subject, guiding Qi Yue to sit at the table.
Hearing him say this, Qi Yue’s interest was piqued.
“Uncle, does this mean there’s a big secret?”
“For you, it probably is,” Liu Zhinan lit all the candles nearby, suddenly brightening the room.
As Qi Yue was pondering what matter made Liu Zhinan so cautious, she heard him ask,
“Yueyue, did Zhao Xiyan visit you a few days ago?”
Before she could respond, Liu Zhinan smirked.
“Don’t think about hiding it from your uncle; I saw you looking absent-minded during dinner.”
Qi Yue instantly felt her face heat up.
“Why bring this up, uncle? Are you planning to inform on us?”

“Inform on what?” Liu Zhinan glanced at her reproachfully. “I just want to meet him the next time he comes.”
“Meet him for what?” Qi Yue immediately became defensive.
“Look at you, child, you don’t need to be so guarded around your uncle,” Liu Zhinan waved his hand, smiling brightly. “As an uncle, shouldn’t I meet my niece’s suitor?”
Qi Yue twitched her lips.
Zhao Xiyan visiting her must have been informed by Huangfu Nan. Pretending much!
Liu Zhinan is not really her uncle but pretends to be one; how could she believe such words?
Right then, she decided she would write to Zhao Xiyan once she returned, asking him not to come anymore.
“So uncle, all this secrecy was just to say this?” Qi Yue incredulously surveyed the room.
“Of course, aside from me, no one else knows your identity, so I have to be cautious,” Liu Zhinan stated matter-of-factly, then shifted the topic to discuss processed medicine.
Qi Yue concealed the tasks assigned by Shen Zikuang and carefully chose a few words to say, which Liu Zhinan heard and lavished with loads of praises.
The conversation was abundant, yet it never touched upon letting her go.
At first, Qi Yue was a bit puzzled, but then, hearing him continuously praise how the old lady had been revitalized recently and how her ailments had vanished, she got the hint.
Clearly, he was aiming for the Carefree Pill, fearing she might refuse or be hesitant to speak up, so he resorted to this tactic.
Lock her in a secret room, huh?!
Sure enough, the moment she mentioned making more Carefree Pills for the old lady once she returned, Liu Zhinan immediately went to open the door of the secret room.
“Yueyue, this medicine must require quite a few good herbs, right? Write a list, and your uncle will have the housekeeper send them to you.”
“Thank you, uncle!”
Qi Yue immediately agreed, her heart brimming with joy.
She had long coveted the Liu Family’s medicine store.
The Liu Family had been dealing with medicinal herbs for decades; they must have many rare herbs!
Just the opportunity to enrich her own medicinal store!
Liu Zhinan being so perceptive, she could indeed make a few extra bottles of medicine for him.
After all, for her, making Carefree Pills was not at all difficult.
As soon as she returned to Baoyue Pavilion, she immediately started writing the list.
Ginseng?
That’s not even considered good.
No, the main issue is she has too much space!
She wanted fresh snow lotus, ambergris, deer antlers, Thousand-Year-Old Polygonum Multiflorum, Lingzhi, seahorses… basically, whatever is rare and valuable, she wanted!
Sure enough, when she handed the list to the Liu housekeeper, she clearly saw his lips quivering non-stop.
She couldn’t be bothered to care, since Liu Zhinan had already mentioned sending the herbs over.
Then, whenever the herbs arrived, that’s when she would make the medicine.
The next day, Qi Yue was contemplating her own plans over a map of Fengdu when Zhao Chong quietly arrived.
“Master, something has happened!”
The moment he entered, he blurted out this head-spinning statement, completely baffling Qi Yue.
“What has happened? Weren’t you constantly surveilling the perimeter? Why did you suddenly come back?”
“Something has happened, and that’s why I’ve come!”
Zhao Chong had rushed here, and was still catching his breath.
Qi Yue hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
“Here, drink this first then talk.”
With a face full of earnest fear, Zhao Chong took it and gulped it down in one breath, finally catching his breath and swiftly explained the situation.
It turned out Li Tianyi had left the group!
These past few days, Qi Yue had let Li Tianyi go out with Zhao Chong and Zhao Tai.
On one hand, it was easier to control him, and on the other, it was to give him a chance to do something.
Sure enough, after running around for two days, he had indeed slipped up.
“Where did he go? Was it that courtyard?”
“Yes, and no… he headed in that direction, but he didn’t go to that courtyard!”
Qi Yue’s brow furrowed as she swiftly stood up.
“He might be trying to escape, go take a look!”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chong hurriedly led the way.
With the Liu Family’s carriage insignia, they were unobstructed along the way, soon arriving at a bustling marketplace.
“Master, look, there he is!”
Li Tianyi was sitting across the teahouse, holding a bowl, and across from him was a man in a gray robe.
The man wore a hat that obscured his face, but from the broad jaw revealed, it was evident he was a man, and not young either.
Their conversation had obviously reached its end.
The man in the gray robe stood up first and walked into a side alley, with Li Tianyi placing his bowl down and following him into the alley.
“Master, is he really trying to escape?”
No sooner had Zhao Chong spoken, than Zhao Tai, clutching the knife at his waist, charged forward, seemingly eager to catch him red-handed.
“Qingzhu, quick, stop him!”
Though surprised by Qi Yue’s command, Qingzhu quickly took action.
A sharp whinny pierced the air, and Zhao Tai’s steps froze instantaneously.
Zhao Chong hurried forward, leading Zhao Tai back.
Upon seeing the group, Zhao Tai immediately grew agitated.
“Qingzhu, why did you stop me? Li Tianyi was about to take our secrets and run!”
Qingzhu looked at Qi Yue without speaking, and Zhao Chong also stared at Qi Yue, both faces clearly showing confusion and seeking answers.
Qi Yue pressed her lips together, her fan leisurely swaying for a moment, seeing everyone’s face turn increasingly anxious, she finally spoke.
“You couldn’t have stopped him!”
Hearing this, Qingzhu and the others appeared utterly astonished.
“Why?”
Qi Yue’s eyes deeply gazed toward the dark alley opposite, and she said softly, “That person just now is not simple. If I hadn’t had Qingzhu stop you, you would have been dead by now!”
Zhao Tai defiantly widened his eyes.
“I don’t believe it!”
“Don’t believe?”, Qi Yue curled her lips, “Go and see for yourself now.”
With that, she took the lead and walked towards the alley.
Qingzhu and Zhao Chong immediately followed.
Zhao Tai hesitated for a moment, then followed as well, though his mutterings were still clearly audible to Qi Yue.
“I don’t believe it, who can take down a Black Feather Guard like me?”
