The Revival Hall.

When Yu Yunxi arrived, she saw many people surrounding the entrance. She asked with a frown, “Qian Mei, what’s going on?”

“These people seemed to have heard about what happened yesterday at the entrance of Wei Medical Hall. They’re hoping that you’ll treat them,” Qian Mei explained.

After observing the group of people, Yu Yunxi found that these people were indeed sick.

“County Princess, all of them want to enter the hall, but we haven’t…” Qian Mei said hesitantly.

Yu Yunxi interjected, “It’s fine. Since they’re here to see a doctor, there’s no reason to chase them away.”

“Yes.

Yu Yunxi was busy from morning treating patients. When the moon was high in the sky, she finally sent off the last patient.

“County Princess, why don’t we limit the number of people you treat?” Qian Mei said, worried that Yu Yunxi would be exhausted.

“Illnesses don’t wait for people. We’ll just have to find a few more doctors to help,” Yu Yunxi said softly.

“Yes, County Princess.”

Yu Yunxi looked at the moon in the sky worriedly. She knew that Yu Junjin would be worried if she did not return at this time.

When she and Qian Mei walked out of the Revival Hall, they ran into a group of people.

A few eunuchs and guards looked at Yu Yunxi with unfriendly expressions on their faces.

“County Princess of Xinan, please follow us. The Empress wants to see you.”

‘The Empress? The Crown Prince has been grounded for so many days. It seems like the Empress can no longer sit still..

Yu Yunxi’s eyes glinted coldly as she said, “What if I don’t want to follow you?”

The eunuch in the lead scoffed and said unhappily, “The Empress is the mother of the country. The County Princess of Xinan is really arrogant and actually dares to go against the Empress’ wish. County Princess, you’re not the only one who will suffer if you disobey the Empress. You might implicate the entire Xinan as well..

As the eunuch spoke, a few guards also unsheathed their swords, ready to make a move at any moment.

‘The Empress seems really anxious to meet me…

Yu Yunxi’s gaze grew even colder.

Qian Mei did not bother with these people as well. She looked to the side, where their guards were lying in wait.

At the critical moment, a carriage pulled to a stop at the side. “Eunuch Zheng, why did you leave the imperial palace today?”

A young woman with a majestic air was helped down the carriage.

When Zheng Yu, the eunuch, saw the young man, he became much more polite.

“Greetings, Princess Consort Rui.”

Meanwhile, Yu Yunxi watched silently. The woman in front of her was undoubtedly the woman in the carriage yesterday.

When Jian Xin, Princess Consort Rui, saw Yu Yunxi’s reaction, she knew that Yu Yunxi must have figured out her identity yesterday.

Jian Xin walked to the side and asked expressionlessly, “Eunuch Zheng, what are you doing?”

Zheng Yu was a little unhappy, but he still said respectfully, “The Empress wished to invite the County Princess of Xinan to the palace.”

Jian Xin frowned and said with a sigh, “Oh? If I’m not mistaken, Imperial

Father clearly forbade anyone from entering the palace to meet the Empress. Did I remember wrongly? When I pay respect to Mother tomorrow, I’ll have to ask her about it.”

Zheng Yu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead upon hearing these words, and he hurriedly said in an unnatural voice, “No, Princess Consort Rui. The Empress was only joking with the County Princess of Xinan. I’ll take my leave now, Princess Consort Rui.”

Zheng Yu hurriedly left after that. Now that the Empress had lost her power, the four Noble Consorts were waiting to see her make a fool out of herself. If Princess Consort Rui complained to Noble Consort Qin about this, the Empress would be in a difficult situation.

‘Yu Yunxi is really lucky today!’

Subsequently, Yu Yunxi turned around and thanked Jian Xin. “Thank you,

Princess Consort Rui, for helping me out.”

Jian Xin covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed lightly as she said, “County Princess, you’re a smart person. Even if I didn’t do anything, I’m sure you’ll find a way to solve it. Moreover, you saved my life and the child in my womb. I haven’t thanked you properly yet.”

Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow and asked meaningfully, “So, did Princess Consort

Rui send people to follow me yesterday to thank me?”

Jian Xin shook her head, looking slightly helpless as she said, “As expected, I was discovered by the County Princess. I only sent people to follow you so I can find out your identity and thank you properly. There’s also..

It was not convenient for Jian Xin to finish her words.

“I understand… The child in your womb carries the imperial blood so you have to be careful,” Yu Yunxi said with a nod.

Jian Xin hesitated for a moment before she said solemnly, “In fact, I visited you today because I have a favor to ask of you…

“Princess Consort, do you want to know the reason why you almost had a miscarriage?” Yu Yunxi asked calmly.

Jian Xin nodded quickly. “That’s right.”

“I can only answer you after I visit your room,” Yu Yunxi said.

Jian Xin frowned and thought about it for a moment before she said, “That’s not a problem. Do you have time now?”

Yu Yunxi hesitated for a moment before she nodded. “Yes.”

After boarding the carriage, Yu Yunxi assumed they would go to Prince Rui’s Residence. Unexpectedly, the carriage pulled to a stop at the entrance of Marquis Jian Zhong’s Residence.

As though she could read Yu Yunxi’s mind, Jian Xin said slightly awkwardly,

“I’ve been staying in the marquis’ residence recently.”

Yu Yunxi had a rough idea of what was going on, but she did not show it on her face. She just quietly followed behind Jian Xin.

“My father and the others have gone to bed. I’ll introduce you to them another day. Please follow me to my courtyard,” Jian Xin said. Her tone was gentle from the beginning until now, and it gave people a very comfortable feeling.

Soon after, they entered a courtyard with many trees and flowers.

“These were all planted by my younger sister. Alas, she left the capital five years ago and hasn’t returned since. Speaking of which, my sister is also interested in medicine. You’ll likely get along with her if you meet her,” Jian Xin said.

Perhaps it was because Yu Yunxi had saved the child in Jian Xin’s womb, Jian Xin had a good impression of Yu Yunxi. She stroked her belly as she spoke about the past.

‘Younger sister? So her surname must be Jian as well, right? She left the capital five years ago, and she’s also interested in medicine…’

Something flashed in Yu Yunxi’s mind, and she quickly exchanged a look with Qian Jiao. Both of them wore a strange expression on their faces.

‘Is it possible that Princess Consort Rui’s sister is Jian Qing?’

Yu Yunxi quickly suppressed her emotions and followed Jian Xin into the house. As soon as she entered, she noticed that something was wrong. She quickly walked to a pot of flowers and asked grimly, “Is this a five-colored plum?”

Jian Xin’s expression turned solemn as she said, “Yes, County Princess.. Is there a problem?”
