"What did mother do to see her? It would only make you sad. Besides, she is still in a coma and has not yet regained consciousness. She would not know even if you saw her."

"It's just as well that she didn't wake up, so we can avoid the awkwardness of meeting each other.

I still remember that she and Hua Zhang were always by my side, but later they gradually became distant and less talkative. Now I think she must have had a lot on her mind, and she must have suffered a lot over the years. "

Shen Bi and her daughter were both soft-hearted. When Zhao Huayin heard what Shen Bi said, she stopped trying to persuade her.

"I have settled Huayin in a garden outside the city. Since mother wants to see her, I will take her there."

Shen Bi also asked someone to pack some medicine and supplements before going out.

When Shen Bi arrived at Qinghui Garden, he was very surprised to see the garden.

This garden was a very prosperous place in the previous dynasty. When Shen Bi himself was still young, this garden had already been famous in the capital.

This garden was a library with an unusually rich collection of books. It often hosted scholars for gatherings and also took in orphaned children, allowing them to live and study here. It was a place praised by everyone at the time.

But later this place was sealed off and everyone realized that it was not a library at all, but just a gambling den.

The owner of this place is used to using tricks to conceal his true identity. The collection of books and children are just used as a cover. This garden is also built in the western suburbs where there are many poor people. The people all think that the dignitaries living here are close to the common people.

This place was sealed off at that time, which caused a sensation in the capital.

I didn't expect that I would be standing in this place today, with the words "Qinghui Garden" written in big letters on the door.

Following Shen Bi's gaze, Zhao Huayin also saw those powerful and slightly sharp characters.

Zhao Huayin curled the corners of her lips. She didn't expect Yan Qi to be so quick and had already hung up the inscription.

Shen Bi was suspicious but remained calm. After entering the garden, he quietly asked Zhao Huayin,

"Yinyin, why did you bring mother here?"

"This is the garden that His Majesty gifted to the prince. At that time, Huaqin was injured and needed to be placed in a safe place. It was not convenient for her to return to the Zhao Mansion, so the prince asked me to place her here first."

Shen Bi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Zhao Huayin did not tell Shen Bi that Yan Qi gave the garden to her, for fear that Shen Bi would feel worried if she knew about it.

Zhao Huaqin still hadn't woken up. When Zhao Huayin and Shen Bi came in, Lu Ying was giving her acupuncture.

"How is it? Is it getting better?"

Zhao Huayin asked.

"The wound on her forehead is a little red and swollen, causing fever. I have just prepared some cooling medicine for her and also applied acupuncture. I think it should be fine."

Lu Ying took out the last needle before answering.

"In your opinion, when will she wake up?"

Shen Bi also asked.

“Madam, the wound on the second young lady’s head has caused her to be unconscious until now. She should have woken up today, but it seems that the second young lady herself does not want to wake up, so she has been in a deep sleep.

If you want to awaken her by force with an acupuncture needle, that's fine too."

After saying this, Lu Ying stopped talking and waited for Shen Bi and Zhao Huayin to make a decision.

Shen Bi sighed and walked to the bedside, tucked the quilt for Zhao Huaqin. Zhao Huaqin's face was pale, and the wound on her forehead had been bandaged, looking slightly higher than the ones next to it.

In recent days, Zhao Huaqin's face has become noticeably thinner and her eye sockets have become deeper.

Shen Bi couldn't bear it, so she turned to Lu Ying and said, "This child has a knot in her heart, it's good to be able to escape for a while. Since she doesn't want to wake up, let her rest for a few more days."

"Yes, I think so too. She has to figure out the knot in her heart by herself. Otherwise, it will be useless even if we wake her up by force.

You just need to take good care of her body, and it's up to her when she wakes up."

“Okay, Lu Ying understands.

But I have one more thing to do. I want to go back to my medicine furnace in the next few days. I wonder if the young lady would agree."

Zhao Huayin was stunned by this question, then she smiled and said,

"The prince was also very polite to Doctor Lu in the palace, why is Doctor Lu so polite here?

I asked the prince to let Doctor Lu come here to take care of the prince. Doctor Lu, there is no need to be so reserved. Just do as you please."

Zhao Huayin was also puzzled. When she first met Lu Ying, he was quite active. Why was he so cautious now?

After hearing what Zhao Huayin said, Lu Ying secretly criticized Yan Qi in his heart.

What a sinister prince he is. In order to win the beauty, he only tortures a small doctor like me.

When Yan Qi asked Lu Ying to take care of Zhao Huayin, he tempted her with a lost copy of the medicinal book.

Yan Ming had to be more respectful to Zhao Huayin than to him, the King of Qin. If he displeased Zhao Huayin, he would have no chance of getting the medicine.

Zhao Huayin didn't know the reason and just thought that Lu Ying was unfamiliar to her, so she was a little wary.

"I see that Doctor Lu is about the same age as me. If Doctor Lu doesn't mind, he can treat me like his own sister."

I dare not, Lu Ying thought to himself. You are easy to talk to, but I dare not offend that cold-faced prince of yours.

Although Lu Ying was thinking this, he did not show it on his face. He responded to Zhao Huayin and said a few polite words before leaving.

Shen Bi stayed in Zhao Huaqin's room for a while, and the mother and daughter talked for a while before leaving.

Zhao Huayin sent Shen Bi back to the Shangshu Mansion and went to Yunshangfang by herself, because Princess Jiayi had sent someone to pass on a message to Zhao Huayin, asking her to meet at Yunshangfang.

Nanny Qian was originally in the lobby. When she saw Zhao Huayin coming, she hurriedly led her to the private room on the second floor, where Princess Jiayi was already sitting inside drinking tea.

"I am late and I didn't take good care of you. Please don't blame me, County Lady."

When Princess Jiayi saw Zhao Huayin coming in, a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Your tea here is good, that's fine."

Princess Jiayi was wearing a lotus-colored scale-shaped Ruyi skirt with a Baoxiang pattern today. The cuffs were embroidered with a Sichuan Ruyi cloud pattern, and she looked extremely beautiful.

Zhao Huayin recognized the skirt; it was one of the skirts she had made for Princess Jiayi that day.

The Ruyi cloud pattern on the Shu brocade on the cuffs was embroidered by Zhao Huayin herself. Unlike the simple embroidery method in the past, Zhao Huayin embroidered it on both sides. The other side of the cloud pattern was the peony that Princess Jiayi liked.

Although it is a bit laborious, the finished product is truly stunning.

"The county lady and this dress really complement each other perfectly."

Zhao Huayin praised.

Princess Jiayi was even more delighted when she heard this. She looked at her dress before speaking.

"I wore this dress today to attend a banquet in the palace, and the Queen Mother also praised me for looking good in it.

What’s even more satisfying is that the material of the dress Jiacheng was wearing was the same as mine, but the style was very different. When she heard the empress dowager praising me, her face turned green.

She always relies on the fact that she is a princess and has a higher rank than me, and she shows off in front of me. So what if she is a princess? The embroiderer in her house is just as useless!"

Zhao Huayin finally understood why Princess Jiayi was so happy today. Seeing Princess Jiayi smiling brightly, Zhao Huayin couldn't help but be infected and raised the corners of her lips.

"As long as the county lord is satisfied."

“Of course I am satisfied!

But I am not here today just to praise you, I am here to tell you that Jiacheng will definitely ask around where my dresses are made. When she finds out about Yunshangfang, she will definitely come to you and ask you to make clothes for her too.

Then you can say that these dresses are specially designed by shareholders. If you want to make a specific style, you have to get the designer’s approval.”
