When it comes to adultery, if there is one thing, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three. Then there will always be one person who cannot live without the other person, like an addictive poison, which makes people unable to stop.
And the other person will start to ask for it in various ways, whether for money or profit, always asking for something.
Originally, Yun Yi thought that what Chang Lan was asking for was just shelter in the Yun Mansion. Now he knew that he was wrong. Chang Lan wanted much, much more than he imagined.

In the blink of an eye, it had been seven days since Zhu Yan and Xia Yuanqiu arrived at Yun Mansion, but the elixir for refining the poison-repelling pill was not yet ready.
That day, Yun Xiangtian brought a piece of pill prescription to the small courtyard where Zhu Yan and Xia Yuanqiu lived. He frowned and said, "Miss Xia, you wrote that there are still two medicines that are not ready on the medicine list. We I have searched all over the world in drugstores but still cannot find this medicine. Can you see if you can use other medicines instead?"
Xia Yuanqiu took the medicine list handed over by Yun Xiangtian and looked at the two elixirs outlined with a red pen on it, one was Green Lotus Heart and the other was Needle Leaf Butterfly.
Xia Yuanqiu sighed: "These two herbs are rarely used as medicine. It is normal that they are hard to find in the market. I just don't know where this medicine exists. We might as well go and collect it ourselves."
Zhu Yan came forward to take a look and said with a smile: "This green lotus heart is the core of the lotus with blue lotus root knots?"
Xia Yuanqiu's eyebrows lit up and he quickly asked: "Do you know? Have you seen it?"
Zhu Yan nodded: "I've seen it once. One year, I led the troops to quell the chaos and got lost in a sand dune. I walked for several days and nights. The soldiers were tired and hungry at the time. This was not the most important thing. , the most important thing is that it was a scorching sun, we didn't drink even a drop of water, and we were almost exhausted. At this time, in a sand dune, we found a pool of clear water, and in the clear water, there was a strange plant. Lotus, the lotus floated in the water, and the lotus joints were as green as duckweed before entering the mud. I looked interesting at the time, so I picked up the lotus joints and took a closer look. The lotus joints were as green as jade. , like a jade sculpture, very beautiful."
Xia Yuanqiu said excitedly: "Yes, yes, this is Beiganlian. Where did you see it?"
Zhu Yan smiled bitterly and said: "It was in the sandy area on the border of Dongzhu Kingdom. At that time, the yellow sand stretched to the sky. Once we lost our way, the consequences would be disastrous."
Yun Xiangtian said: "No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely find the Green Lotus Heart. My father's life depends on it."
Xia Yuanqiu said: "Brother Yun, don't think about things too hard. There are human beings living everywhere. We can easily get lost in the sand, but some people have been walking in the sand for many years and know the sand very well. We are not as good as If we find these people as guides, we have a great chance of not getting lost, and they may even be able to lead us directly to Beiganlian."
The gloom in Zhu Yan's eyebrows disappeared, he patted his thigh and said with a smile: "This is a good idea. We have also met local people in the sand. If we didn't follow their footprints, we might not be able to walk. When we get out of that sandy area, it can be said that all of our lives were saved because of those local people.”
Yuan Qiu nodded: "Yes, it is said that people rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the sea to eat the sea. Some people are born in the sandy area, and they rely on the sandy area to eat. I think that by the sandy area, you will definitely be able to find guides who make a living by leading the way. At this time, we will be able to walk in the sand with more purpose, and we will not be unable to get out again."
