Parents are busy farming

Shangguan Ying readily agreed and continued to tell the story.

She expressed complex and obscure pharmacological knowledge in easy-to-understand language so that everyone present could understand it clearly.

Ye Zifen, who was left aside at this time, seemed a little helpless.

Faced with the two imperial physicians' enthusiastic requests for advice, she didn't want to interrupt, nor could she.

In the end, she had no choice but to turn around and leave the side hall silently, leaving Shangguan Ying to continue answering questions and resolving doubts for the two imperial doctors.

Ye Zifen gently pushed open the door, and as soon as she stepped out, she saw a familiar figure slowly walking towards her from a distance.

When the figure came closer, she looked carefully and found that it was her father-in-law who had returned.

Ye Zifen walked forward with light steps and asked softly, "Eunuch, have you arranged everything?"

The eunuch nodded slightly and said, "Princess, everything has been arranged. Next, we just need to let the boys below do it. It's time for them to gain some experience."

Ye Zifen nodded slightly to show that she understood.

However, before she could say anything, she was shocked by what she saw suddenly - her father-in-law actually bowed to her and performed a great ceremony.

Ye Zifen was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly reached out to support her father-in-law, saying repeatedly, "No, no! Father-in-law, please get up quickly. This is really frustrating me."

You know, this eunuch is a big shot in front of the current emperor!

Although he was just a eunuch, even the ministers in the court were polite and courteous when they met him. How could they dare to accept such great courtesy from him!

"Princess, you can bear it, Princess, you can bear it... This time, I am really grateful. If it weren't for the princess's help, I'm afraid the emperor..."

At this point, the eunuch's voice could not help but tremble a little, and his eyes gradually turned red. "I have served the emperor for many years, and watched the emperor work hard for state affairs all day long, so that his health is getting worse and worse. I saw it with my own eyes, and I was anxious in my heart, but I was powerless! Now, fortunately, the princess has come to help and can extend the emperor's life. This is what I have always dreamed of!"

Ye Zifen gently raised her hand and patted her father-in-law's shoulder. Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze: "Don't be so worried, father-in-law. I just did what I could. Now I just hope that the emperor can recover as soon as possible. Only then can we all feel at ease."

After hearing this, the eunuch nodded hurriedly, his face full of gratitude: "The princess is really kind-hearted and benevolent! With such a kind heart like the princess, blessings will surely come in the future. I will immediately return to the palace to continue serving the emperor. I wonder if the princess will also go to visit the emperor?"

Ye Zifen shook her head slightly and responded softly, "I am not going to visit the emperor this time, but I am going to leave the palace. Everything in the palace has been properly arranged, and there is still a long time to go. As long as I want to enter the palace to accompany the emperor, I can naturally enter and leave the palace at any time. So even if I return to the princess's mansion, I will feel relieved."

Upon hearing this, the eunuch hurriedly bowed and said, "In that case, I dare not delay the princess's journey. I'm sorry that I can't see her off. I hope that the princess will come to the palace more often to accompany the emperor in her free time."

After saying this, the father-in-law turned around and hurried away in quick steps.

His originally slightly hunched back seemed to reveal at this moment an unshakable belief and full of hope for the future.

Ye Zifen walked out of the palace in a hurry, but her pretty face could not hide her fatigue.

When she finally stepped into the princess's mansion and returned to her room, she saw Zhang Gaoyi looking at her.

When Ye Zifen sat next to Zhang Gaoyi, Zhang Gaoyi took Ye Zifen's hand and asked with concern: "Why, did you leave Master Shangguan in the palace?"

Ye Zifen nodded gently and responded, "Well, the emperor's condition is too critical. I have no choice but to let Master Shangguan stay to take care of him."

Zhang Gaoyi keenly noticed that Ye Zifen was a little depressed, and couldn't help asking: "But what's the problem with the emperor?"

Ye Zifen bit her lower lip and said slowly, "Fortunately, Master Shangguan arrived in time. After a diagnosis, the master asserted that the emperor only has half a month left to live. Fortunately, the master's medical skills are excellent and he can continue to treat the emperor. He can barely extend his life for about a year, but I'm afraid the emperor will no longer be able to attend court after this."

Zhang Gaoyi was slightly startled when he heard this, then nodded and agreed: "That's good. As long as the emperor is still alive, those who want to harm us will surely be more or less afraid."

However, Ye Zifen frowned slightly, with deep worry in her beautiful eyes. She sighed anxiously, "But in this year, who knows how many unexpected changes will arise? The situation in the court is unpredictable, and all forces are eyeing and ready to make a move! And the prince..."

Zhang Gaoyi comforted Ye Zifen gently, his tone gentle but firm: "Even if the prince really has sent people to the Tiger Army, there is no need to worry too much. We just need to pretend that we know nothing and never let the people he sent in easily gain a foothold in the military camp."

However, Ye Zifen's brows were tightly knitted, and her face was full of worry that could not be concealed. She said worriedly: "That being said, this is not a good sign after all! Anything in the army can cause a disaster if there is a slight mistake. We cannot afford to be careless."

Seeing this, Zhang Gaoyi reached out and gently patted Ye Zifen on the shoulder, comforting her: "Don't worry too much. As long as we act prudently and respond carefully, we will be able to resolve this crisis."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen's expression eased a little, but she still couldn't hide her sadness. She said slowly, "It's just that what is unexpected is that the emperor not only did not express dissatisfaction with the prince's placement of his confidants in the Tiger Army, but instead thought that his action was quite appropriate!"

When Zhang Gaoyi heard this, he was slightly stunned, and a look of doubt and confusion instantly appeared on his face.

He murmured to himself, "This is beyond my expectation. What is the hidden meaning of the emperor's action?"

Ye Zifen also sighed helplessly, smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying: "Alas...how can we easily guess the emperor's thoughts?"

Zhang Gaoyi quickly tried to appease him again: "As the ruler of a country, he has long been in control of the overall political situation and military power. You don't have to worry about this matter and feel sad."
