The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Across the lake.

"Your Highness, I have something to ask you. On the Lantern Festival, has Your Highness met Cuiying, Miss Li's personal maid?" Gu Yunting spoke in a humble tone, but his eyes were fixed on the third prince.

The Third Prince recalled for a moment and said uncertainly: "I can't remember, I think I must have seen it before!"

Gu Yunting continued, "It doesn't matter if Your Highness can't remember. I can help Your Highness recall. Half an hour before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Cuiying knocked over the teacup and wet Your Highness's clothes. Does Your Highness still remember this?"

The Dali Temple has not yet found the real culprit in Li Chan'er's murder case, and the only valid clue points to Li Chan'er's cousin, the eldest prince.

After investigation, it was found that there was no problem with the drum that day, the problem was with Li Chaner herself.

After interrogation, Li Chan'er's personal maid Cuiying could not bear the punishment and committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Later, gold and silver jewelry awarded by the eldest prince were found in the house where she lived.

The eldest prince flatly denied that he had harmed Li Chan'er, but apart from the maid Cuiying who committed suicide out of fear of punishment, there were no other useful clues in this case.

Because the commander of the Imperial Guard suddenly fell ill that day, Gu Yunting was temporarily ordered by the emperor to take over the commander's duties and be responsible for ensuring the safety of the palace.

Since the case could not be investigated to any conclusion, Gu Yunting also had to bear some responsibility. He subconsciously felt that the teacup knocked over by Cuiying that day was not a coincidence.

"That's true, but I didn't know that the person who bumped into me was Miss Li's maid."

Although the Third Prince could admit it calmly, Gu Yunting's suspicion of him did not decrease.

The Third Prince has not been favored by Emperor Yuanjing since he was young, and his biological mother is an incompetent person. It must have been even more difficult for him to grow up safely in the turbulent harem than when he was a child.

The Third Prince could not be the simple and mediocre person he appeared to be.

"Oh, I remember one thing. Before the New Year's Eve palace banquet, the third daughter of the Yan family was called into the Yaohua Palace by the eldest sister. Later, Miss Yan came out of the Yaohua Palace with dishevelled hair and a disheveled face. Miss Li was absent from the palace banquet. I heard that her face was swollen due to a beating."

The Third Prince pretended to think for a moment, then continued, "On the day of the Royal Grandmother's birthday, the two young ladies of the Yan family fell into the water, and the next day, Miss Li fell off a drum and broke her leg... Lord Gu, do you think these incidents are somehow related?"

Gu Yunting frowned and looked at the Third Prince, "The girls of the Yan family are all weak and inexperienced. This is all just a coincidence." He bowed and said, "I have overstepped my authority. I hope Your Highness will not blame me."

The Third Prince narrowed his eyes and smiled calmly, "General Gu is a good general of our Dafeng. It is my honor to have a heart-to-heart talk with General Gu. How can I blame him? By the way, all the daughters of the Yan family are beautiful. Even the concubines will surely have great fortune."

Watching the thin figure walk away, Gu Yunting stood there thinking for a long time.

All evidence of the sinking accident that day was wiped out by Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion and Concubine Li, and it was obvious that it was related to Li Chan'er.

The next day, Li Chaner slipped and fell from the big drum and broke her leg. The Yan family girl had the motive to take revenge and committed the crime.

The third prince changed the topic to the girl from the Yan family, obviously warning him that if he continued to investigate, the girl from the Yan family would be implicated in the case.

If Yan Muyun was taken away by the Dali Temple for investigation, her reputation would be ruined regardless of whether she was innocent or not.

The Third Prince threatened him with this matter, and he must have known about the entanglement between him and Yan Muyun.

He guessed that the third prince was no simple person, but he still underestimated him.

Li Chan'er was the most beloved daughter of Marquis Weiyuan, but now she has missed out on the position of Prince Rui's principal wife due to a leg injury.

If the case really ended in such an unclear way, the grudge between Marquis Weiyuan and the eldest prince would probably be completely solidified.

Furthermore, the Third Prince deliberately mentioned that the concubine of the Yan family would also have great fortune. What did he mean by that?

Outside the flower hall at that time, Yan Muyun was stopped by an unfamiliar maid.

"I am the personal maid of the second daughter of the Capital Censor. My daughter has a sudden acute abdominal pain, and the palace doctor is unable to get close to examine her. I heard that the third daughter Yan is proficient in medicine. Could you go and treat my daughter?"

Seeing that the worry on the maid's face did not seem fake, Yan Muyun asked her, "Where is your young lady?"

The maid pointed to the nearby courtyard and said, "My young lady is in the guest room of the courtyard. Many young ladies from other families rest there."

Yan Muyun looked at the courtyard. It was only a few hundred steps away. It was not the kind of deserted courtyard where accidents were prone to happen, so there shouldn't be any accidents.

"Wait for me here for a while. I'll say hello to my elders at home and I'll be back soon."

Although the maid looked anxious, she did not object, but just kept begging, "Please hurry up, my young lady is in so much pain that she can't stand it any more."

Yan Muyun felt relieved after seeing this. After saying hello to Su, she followed the maid to the cross courtyard.

In the courtyard, several noble ladies were waiting anxiously outside the door of the east wing, and the sound of a woman's suppressed cries of pain could be faintly heard from inside the room.

"Miss Yan San is here. Please make way." The little maid led Yan Muyun and her servant into the house, and then closed the door from the inside.

The middle-aged doctor was waiting outside the screen. When he saw several people come in, he sighed helplessly.

Doctors hate uncooperative patients the most. The lady in the inner room refused to cooperate with the pulse diagnosis and did not allow close examination. Apart from her crying out in pain, nothing could be asked.

Yan Muyun walked through the screen into the inner room and saw a 28-year-old girl in pink lying on the bed.

The girl curled up her body and groaned constantly, her face was pale and sweaty, and it was obvious that she was suffering from severe abdominal pain.

Without bothering to ask any further questions, she stepped forward and grabbed the girl's wrist. Her tight pulse should be a symptom of qi stagnation and blood stasis, which is known as acute appendicitis in later generations.

To confirm, Yan Muyun reached out to lift the girl's skirt, but the girl gritted her teeth and refused with a crying voice, "No, no."

"Miss, you may be suffering from intestinal abscess. I must confirm the specific pain point so that I can treat it accordingly. I hope Miss will cooperate."

The maid also advised, "Miss, just let Miss Yan San take a look. They are all women and it's not a big deal."

The girl was very persistent. She cried and shook her head, and refused to let anyone lift her clothes no matter what.

Yan Muyun felt a headache. This evil and toxic culture made women become like fools.

She was in so much pain that she couldn't even let anyone look at her belly. She must have died of shame during childbirth.

The maidservant helplessly said to the palace doctor outside: "Please go out and wait!" Then she looked at Lian Qiao beside her and said, "My young lady is shy, how about you go out and wait too?"

Lian Qiao glanced at Yan Muyun, and seeing that her young lady had no objection, she followed the court doctor out the door.

When there were only three people left in the room, Yan Muyun and the maid tried to persuade her for a while. The girl was probably in so much pain that she had no energy left and reluctantly lifted up her coat.

The white belly was exposed, Yan Mujun reached out and touched it carefully to confirm it.

"Does it hurt here... How about this place... Does it hurt here..."

The girl responded with a mosquito-like hum, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably. Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide.

Yan Muyun thought she had found the pain point and was about to ask in detail when she suddenly felt numbness in her neck and shoulders. Her eyes went dark and her body fell limply.
