Chapter 1689: Chapter 1689: Find an Open Space

“May I know how many days the Princess Consort of the Second Rank intends to rest here?” Brother Zheen’s eyes conveyed an apology as he looked at An Jiuyue and asked her.

“No more than five days,” An Jiuyue said.

Within five days, the antidote should be ready to refine. Once Qian Jiyun was free of poison, all that would remain was to treat his wounds.

And treating wounds could be done on the ship as well; there was no need to stay here the entire time.

“An Jiuyue, are you going to refine medicine?”

Zhan Beiye also understood An Jiuyue’s intention; she was preparing to refine the antidote here for Qian Jiyun to take.

Indeed, there could be all sorts of dangers on the ship, and refining medicinal pills required a very quiet environment. A slight disturbance could very well ruin the entire process.

Moreover, he had heard An Jiuyue say before that it would take a few days to refine such an antidote.

“Yes.”

An Jiuyue did not deny it.

She indeed wanted to refine the antidote as quickly as possible.

“There are no tents on the ship; I will have them set one up,” Zhan Beiye thought for a moment and said.

“That won’t be necessary; I’ve brought my own.”

An Jiuyue stopped him. The guards had already had a hard time these past few days, and she did not want to trouble them further.

“Qian Jiyun, please take me to find an open space,” she said, looking up at Qian Jiyun.

Qian Jiyun complied and led her away, leaving Zhan Beiye behind, cluelessly scratching his head.

Why look for an open space? Wasn’t the place they were standing good enough? It was near the sea, and he could have the bored guards catch some fish to grill and eat.

However…

Half an hour later, when he saw a grand residence appear before him, he nearly popped his eyes out of their sockets.

He thought that creating a few formidable Paper Persons was impressive enough, but he had no idea that they had even more remarkable abilities. How could they conjure such a huge residence out of thin air?

“You… this… did you bring your house with you?”

He turned to Qian Jiyun and the others, then looked up again at the residence, which was obviously immense.

“Let’s go inside first. We’ve been tired these past few days; it’s time everyone had a good rest,” An Jiuyue said, without responding to his comment, and indicated for everyone to enter the residence.

Behind her, Su Tang stared at the residence that had appeared out of nowhere, speechless.

With such abilities, if those idiotic guards dared to say one more word against An Jiuyue, he guaranteed he would twist off the heads of the troublemakers, one by one.

“Right, right, let’s go inside first,” Zhan Beiye nodded repeatedly, not wasting any further words, and went ahead into the residence.

Gu Qingyu was stunned to see this suddenly appearing estate; who exactly was this woman, and how could she have such treasures on her person?

She had never seen such a portable residence before—if only she could have one, how wonderful that would be.

With that thought, her gaze shifted greedily toward An Jiuyue, who had not yet entered the residence.

If she could gain Qian Jiyun’s favor, would it be possible to convince him to gift her An Jiuyue’s residence? She thought it might be feasible.

But first, she had to completely win over Qian Jiyun so that he only had eyes for her.

Upon reflection, she decided that, from this moment on, she would be extra well-behaved, a model of propriety, in hopes of ensuring that when Qian Jiyun awoke, he would see the most demure and sensible version of her.
