Now that she has returned to her own world, she only wants to cast aside all constraints. It is sad to think that she has a huge fortune but cannot even satisfy her basic appetite. What is the meaning of this wealth?

Yunying, who usually never disobeyed her orders, was very firm at this moment: "Miss, although your injuries don't seem serious on the surface, you must not eat anything until you are fully recovered. The doctor's orders require you to avoid eating raw, cold, greasy food, and not to touch meat, fish, or sweet wine. We'd better follow the doctor's orders."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Junwei could only let out a self-deprecating smile.

The days of self-cultivation are as peaceful as water, and time flows slowly.

Although Sheng Junwei occasionally couldn't help but tempt Yunying to secretly cook some delicious food, Prime Minister Pei and his wife visited her every day and closely monitored her diet. Once any violation was found, Yunying would inevitably be punished.

In order to protect Yunying, Sheng Junwei had to suppress her desire for delicious food.

Her good friend Si Qi has visited this quiet healing place twice, which brought her some spiritual comfort.

When we got together in the past, Si Qi always used a wide variety of delicious food as the best gift for the gathering.

But now, Si Qi brought bags of precious medicinal herbs. Looking at them, Sheng Junwei couldn't help feeling a little bitter.

Si Qi's eyes were full of sympathy and understanding: "Be patient, who made you get hurt accidentally? You know, health is the cornerstone of enjoying delicious food. Only when you are fully recovered can you enjoy endless delicious food in the future."

"When you are fully recovered, I will cook for you myself and prepare a table full of delicious dishes. How about that? Braised lion's head, barbecue, pickled fish..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking." Sheng Junwei interrupted weakly, "If you continue, I'm afraid I'll drool all over the floor."

Si Qi was amused by her, and her laughter was crisp and pleasant: "You are such a greedy little cat."

As soon as she finished speaking, she took out a bowl of hot porridge from a seemingly ordinary bamboo basket as if by magic: "I specifically asked the doctor, although I can't eat greasy meat, a moderate amount of meat is still acceptable. This is the vegetable minced meat and preserved egg porridge I made especially for you, come and try it."

Sheng Junwei's eyes lit up, with surprise flashing in her eyes.

After Si Qi left, Sheng Junwei gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, with a look of satisfaction and happiness on her face.

At this time, Pei Yu slowly walked into the room, his eyes involuntarily lingering on her beautiful face with a faint smile. For a moment, he was filled with mixed emotions.

Sheng Junwei couldn't stand the burning gaze that seemed to penetrate her soul, and frowned unhappily: "Mr. Pei, what exactly do you want to visit you so late at night?"

Pei Yu pursed his lips, and that subtle movement revealed his inner turmoil.

Ever since that unexpected conflict, she seemed to no longer hide her impatience, and her frankness was frustrating.

"It's actually nothing important. I just want to tell you in person that the real mastermind behind the assassin who tried to assassinate you that day has been arrested." He tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.

"Oh." Sheng Junwei's response was as calm as water, as if the news was insignificant to her.

Her indifference made Pei Yu frown involuntarily.

"You knew it a long time ago?" As soon as Pei Yu said this, he realized that the question was redundant.

After all, she could even predict the assassin's attack, so it was easy for her to deduce the mastermind behind it.

But this misunderstanding just happened to reflect his lack of understanding of her.

In fact, Sheng Junwei could not really predict the future. Even in her previous life, until her life was ended abruptly by an accident, the palace was unable to reveal the real culprit of the assassination.

Just now, Si Qi mentioned inadvertently when chatting with her that Prince Zhong was ordered by the emperor to be beaten with a hundred sticks for plotting to usurp the throne, and was then demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the Tianlao.

After an assassination attempt, a prince was severely punished for his evil intentions. The connection between the two was naturally obvious to someone as meticulous as her.

Pei Yu lifted the hem of his moon-white robe slightly and sat down next to Sheng Junwei gracefully: "It's okay, even if you have some guesses, I can still reveal some details you don't know."

Regardless of whether Sheng Junwei showed interest or not, he continued, "Do you still remember the assassin who was repelled by your shield that night? That man was the famous assassin leader Cangshan in the martial arts world. He controls a huge assassin organization. But according to investigations, this assassination was not a joint effort between him and his men, otherwise, the casualties that night would definitely not be just a few."

Sheng Junwei frowned slightly, with a gleam of doubt in her eyes: "That assassin..."

Seeing that she was quite interested in this topic, Pei Yu was willing to share more details.

Sheng Junwei, although she seemed to be listening, her thoughts had drifted to distant memories of her past life.

In that time and space, Cangshan miraculously escaped pursuit.

However, in this reborn world, he was arrested due to serious injuries and even gave out the mastermind behind it.

What is unexpected is that the man is actually the King Zhong who is famous for his loyalty?

Prince Zhong has always been honest and loyal, but also timid by nature, so it is difficult for people to associate him with such a bold conspiracy.

In this royal family with only a handful of candidates for heir to the throne, every prince may be a strong contender for the throne in the future.

The only exception was Prince Jingxuan. As the emperor's younger brother, the age difference between them made Prince Jingxuan lose the qualification to compete for the throne since childhood.

As for Prince Zhong, because he had no interest in imperial power, he was particularly favored by the emperor. Not only did he stay in the prosperous capital, but he also enjoyed power and glory.

But even though he was deeply trusted by the emperor, Prince Zhong lived more cautiously and took every step with extreme caution.

And the most crucial thing is that at the banquet last night, Sheng Junwei saw this King Zhong with her own eyes. From his words and deeds, she could not find any trace related to the assassination case.

All of this seems too strange, and the truth hidden behind it is not trivial...

Just as Sheng Junwei was pondering whether she should personally get involved in this dispute, the appearance of Eunuch Yu interrupted her thoughts.

He brought the emperor's decree, asking her to end her rest early and resume her post immediately.

Sheng Junwei's heart sank suddenly, and a trace of disappointment that was hard to conceal flashed across her face.

I clearly promised to let her recuperate for a month, why would you suddenly change your mind?

Pei Yu frowned upon seeing this: "Eunuch Yu, Junwei's physical condition has not yet fully recovered..."

However, Eunuch Yu just laughed and was extremely humble.

This sudden respect made the godsons present look at each other in surprise. They knew that although Eunuch Yu had no real power, his status in the emperor's mind was comparable to that of an important official in the court.
