The palace maid said that the queen was too good to her family. She concealed the fact that she accidentally got pregnant while serving in the queen's bedchamber. She did not want the queen, who had no news of pregnancy yet, to misunderstand that she was trying to win favor. She also did not want the queen to be afraid of and hate her after giving birth to a prince.

So, she found an excuse to leave the palace, gave birth to the child secretly, and had the child taken to the then prosperous General Zhengxi Mansion for adoption!

Afterwards, Zheng Zhuoling was conferred the title of Duke of Protectorate, and soon returned to his ancestral home.

The queen felt that it was her fault. She had prevented the palace maid from telling anyone that she was pregnant with the prince, and had also caused the prince to suffer in exile. She treated Zheng Zhuoling very well and even registered him under her own name.

At that time, everyone praised the queen for her kindness and righteousness!

Now that Du Yunsheng knew the true face of the Queen, he also guessed that the Queen was so anxious to adopt a child in order to preserve her position as Queen.

Du Yunsheng even suspected that the queen had known about the pregnancy of the palace maid for a long time, but just turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.

Now that Jiang Shaohan's legs have been cured by her, the queen does not need to adopt a prince.

Du Yuwei could never have imagined that Zheng Zhuoling, a prince born to a palace maid, was a good-for-nothing idiot. Even if he was recognized, he would be powerless and would be bullied!

By then, Zheng Zhuoling and Du Yuwei may be living a worse life than they are now!

So Du Yunsheng was too lazy to stop Du Yuwei from committing suicide and just let her do it.

Not long after, Du Yunsheng arrived at the stall and saw many people standing at the door of Xuanhu Hall, throwing rotten eggs and vegetable leaves and cursing at them.

"It's all your fault. Princess Jing no longer comes to set up a stall to treat illnesses. Even the clinic that was originally planned to open has been cancelled. How dare you open it!"

"As long as Princess Jing stops setting up a stall, we won't give up!"

"Wow, I really regret it. Now I know how good the prescription prescribed by Princess Jing is. The prescriptions prescribed by other doctors usually take a month to heal, but the prescriptions she prescribed usually only take five or six days to heal!"

The guys at Xuanhu Hall had long been numb to being scolded and did not dare to take action against them. After all, those who had taken action before had been reported to the police and arrested!

When Du Yunsheng saw this scene, he felt that once the news of his clinic spread, business would definitely be good.

As these people were cursing, they suddenly saw Du Yunsheng and were shocked.

"Princess Jing! Are you going to set up a stall to treat illnesses?"

They looked at Du Yunsheng cautiously and expectantly.

Du Yunsheng nodded: "Almost. I want to see if there is a store nearby that sells it. I want to buy some and open a pharmacy."

The people cheered when they heard this.

"I know, I know. There's a teahouse for sale right next door!"

They all pointed at the teahouse diagonally opposite Xuanhu Hall.

Du Yunsheng followed the common people into the teahouse and asked the owner why he was in a hurry to sell the teahouse.

The teahouse owner sighed and said, "Many of the customers who come to South Street to drink tea don't pay, and there are too many on credit. I really can't keep running the business. If you want to buy, I'll sell it to you at a lower price, four thousand taels."

Four thousand taels of silver to buy a shop on South Street is not expensive, especially since this teahouse is very wide, has three floors, and has a backyard, it is definitely worth the money.

However, Du Yunsheng still felt a little distressed. After buying it, he would only have one thousand taels of silver left, and this money had to be used to convert it into a clinic.

By then, she would be really broke! She wouldn't even be able to pay the servants their monthly wages!

Du Yunsheng handed over the money and the real estate deed with one hand.

The people were more excited than she was and kept asking when the clinic would open.

Du Yunsheng only said that he would try to get it done within a month.

She planned to design the layout of the pharmacy as soon as she returned, and then ask someone to make changes.

back home.

As soon as I stepped into the yard, I found that the atmosphere was not right.

Du Ansheng, Tu Rong, Chu Yunchen, and even Xiang Zhu and Xiao Ming were all standing in the yard, staring at Jiang Shaohan's room with grim expressions.

Jiang Shaohan's door was open, and two strong-looking palace maids were guarding it.

Du Yunsheng was shocked. Could it be that the Queen came in person?

She was about to go forward to check the situation, but she suddenly heard a pleasant low laugh coming from the room.

Then, a coquettish voice was heard.

"Brother Han, you are so mean. Yan'er is sad, but you try to make her laugh. Now she is crying and laughing at the same time. She must look very ugly. Yan'er doesn't want to pay attention to you anymore. Brother Han, you should have a good rest. Yan'er is leaving first."

When Xiang Zhu heard this awkward and artificial voice, he got goosebumps all over his body and couldn't help but pout.

Seeing Du Yunsheng coming back, he quickly stepped forward to complain: "Miss, you are finally back! If you don't come back, the princess might really think that she is the mistress of this courtyard! She is too overbearing. As soon as she came, she drove us out of the prince's room and didn't allow anyone to go in and disturb us."

As soon as Xiang Zhu finished speaking, Du Yunsheng saw a beautiful woman wearing a smoky green brocade palace dress with dark patterns, a jade seven-treasure hairpin on her head, with delicate features and fair skin walking out of Jiang Shaohan's room.

When Du Yunsheng saw her, his pupils suddenly shrank.

is her!

The current Queen Mother’s favorite Princess Linchuan—Qiao Shiyan.

She is the only granddaughter of the late Prince Rui, the Queen Mother's brother, and was raised by the Queen Mother herself since childhood.

The emperor also doted on her like a princess, and almost always granted her every request from childhood to adulthood.

Even the queen didn't dare to look at her casually.

More importantly, Qiao Shiyan has been outstanding and talented since childhood. She is recognized as the most talented woman in the capital and the first of the three great beauties in the capital.

At the beginning, before Jiang Shaohan got into trouble, everyone in Beijing said that he and Qiao Shiyan were a perfect match made in heaven.

Two years ago, Qiao Shiyan followed the empress dowager to Jinghuang Garden to worship Buddha. It should be because the emperor’s 40th birthday is approaching, so she and the empress dowager recently returned to Beijing.

In his previous life, Du Yunsheng had only met Qiao Shiyan once, on the day of the emperor's birthday banquet.

At that time, Qiao Shiyan said something to her that still puzzled her to this day.

At that time, she and Zheng Zhuoling went to the palace together to celebrate the emperor's birthday. When Qiao Shiyan saw her and Zheng Zhuoling, there was an impenetrable teasing smile in her eyes.

I still remember that she said to Du Yunsheng nonchalantly: "Du Yunsheng, look at you, you are nothing special. I don't need to do anything, just showing up can make you dim and insignificant from now on."

Later, the next time there was news about Qiao Shiyan was when she married the Crown Prince of Western Wei.

The whole capital was shocked at that time that Qiao Shiyan could actually win the favor of the Prince of Western Wei!

Du Yunsheng looked at Qiao Shiyan on the steps with indifference.

Qiao Shiyan, who originally had a smile on her face, disappeared the moment she saw Du Yunsheng, and became cold and slightly superior.

Qiao Shiyan stepped on the lotus and slowly walked down the stairs.

When passing by Du Yunsheng, he said calmly: "Princess Jing, you are reckless and selfish, forcing Brother Han and you to squeeze into this corner where you can't turn around. Have you ever thought about Brother Han?"

After Qiao Shiyan finished speaking, she walked past Du Yunsheng and left.
