"I don't know." Lin Jin didn't know if there really were such gods, nor did she know what to say to make Fang Yuzhu happier. "But there are still many people in this world who are worth your attention. You can't stay stuck in this matter forever."

Fang Yuzhu glanced at her and said, "That's enough. You talk too much. The Queen Mother has summoned me to the palace in two days. You should go with me."

Lin Jin: “…”

Go again, she just came out not long ago.

"What, you don't want to?" Fang Yuzhu stared at Lin Jin's slightly weird expression.

Lin Jin smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I just came out of the palace not long ago. Can I ask you something?"

"The Queen Mother knows that I have been in a bad mood recently. It just so happens that my cousin Huaiya has come back, so she wants us to meet." Fang Yuzhu looked indifferent, not having much affection for this cousin who was finally found. "It is said that my cousin looks sad every day, so she must want us to keep her company."

Although Fang Yuzhu took after her mother's instincts, she was, after all, the blood of the late emperor's most beloved younger brother. It was impossible for the relationship to become estranged just because she changed her surname. She was raised by the concubines in the palace, and they loved Fang Yuzhu very much when the empress dowager was still the queen.

"Then is it appropriate for me to go?" Lin Jin pointed at herself with self-doubt. Is it really appropriate for her, an outsider, to go to such an occasion? "The princess is weak, I'd better not offend her."

If the other party made a mistake, she wouldn't be able to explain herself even if she was right.

"What are you trying to do?" Fang Yuzhu waved her hands. She knew why the Queen Mother asked her to enter the palace. "I'm not in the mood to coax a stranger right now. You should be more patient than me when it comes to coaxing people."

"I see." Lin Jin still felt that it was inappropriate. Even when Fang Zhining was diagnosing the other person's pulse, the Queen Mother did not allow irrelevant people to be present. Would it really be okay for her to go? "But..."

It is really over the line and offensive to interrupt others when they are chatting.

"Don't say but but, can you change your hesitant temper?" Fang Yuzhu interrupted her and raised her hand to rub her temple. "I heard that she is dying. Even if something really happened to her, it is not your fault. If the King of Hell wants someone to die at three o'clock in the morning, who dares to keep her alive until five o'clock?"

"It's useless even if you make friends with those people in Divine Doctor Valley. A person's fate has already been determined."

Fang Yuzhu stared into Lin Jin's eyes: "Just think of it as helping me share the burden. I'm really tired these days and can't concentrate on it."

"Okay." Lin Jin scratched his head and could only agree, "In exchange, I will cook for you. You have to eat well these few days. You can't go on like this."

"You know where the kitchen is. I'm going to take care of the official business. Tell me when it's time to eat." Fang Yuzhu agreed. Nannan was like a little tail, following Fang Yuzhu wherever she went. She was almost kicked by Fang Yuzhu several times.

Lin Jin felt relieved when she saw Nannan's appearance. With Nannan by her side, Fang Yuzhu would be able to get over it after some time.

He Chun followed Lin Jin and helped her: "Madam, you just cook, we will do the rough work."

"It's okay, just some home cooking, nothing too fancy." Lin Jin avoided her hand that was about to take the kitchen knife, "Please help me peel the potatoes."

Lin Jin was having a peaceful lunch with Fang Yuzhu, but Fang Zhining was summoned back to the palace less than three hours after he came out of the palace. The reason was that Xia Huaiya vomited a large mouthful of blood less than half an hour after taking the medicine she prescribed, and the situation was even more serious than before.

"Mother, mother, calm down. It won't be too late to wait until she comes to see my sister." Jing'an knelt in front of the empress dowager to plead for Fang Zhining. She was worried about Xia Huaiya. "She has no reason to harm my sister. Maybe there is some misunderstanding, or maybe this is just an appearance..."

"Jing'an! Ya'er's life or death is unknown now. I trusted her medical skills, which is why Ya'er is in such a state." The Queen Mother slammed the table heavily. "If anything happens to Ya'er, even if she was invited by Song Shiqiu, I will chop off her head!"

"Mother, the imperial doctors are helpless against my sister's illness. Why don't we listen to what she says first?" Jing'an was crying but still believed that Fang Zhining would not do such a thing. "My sister has no grudge against her. If it is really a misunderstanding, what should I do if you punish her now? Who can save my sister?"

Fang Zhining once again stepped into the depressing Changning Palace. The palace servants in Changning Palace were kneeling in a large crowd, as if their master had died and was waiting to be punished.

"Your Highness." Fang Zhining saluted calmly, "Please let me see Princess Huaiya."

The Queen Mother's words were choked in her throat before she could even speak. She could hardly breathe: "You, you are so, so bold!"

As expected, everyone in the Divine Doctor Valley is arrogant and conceited.

"If the Queen Mother really cares about the princess, she should let me take the princess' pulse now instead of wasting time here." Fang Zhining's face was not very good. If she guessed correctly, Xia Huaiya's current situation was very dangerous.

"Mother!" Jing'an looked anxious, "Sister can't delay now!"

Even though the Queen Mother no longer trusts Fang Zhining very much, there is no other way except to continue to believe in Fang Zhining.

Fang Zhining checked Xia Huaiya's pulse again, his face solemn, and took out the golden needle from the medicine box: "Please ask the Queen Mother to send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get the thousand-year-old ginseng."

"Ginseng?" Jing'an hurriedly asked the palace servants to fetch the ginseng that Song Shiqiu had sent over. "Are you going to use it as a medicine?"

"Bring me some paper and pen. I'll tell you to write." Fang Zhining was giving Xia Huaiya acupuncture while reading out the prescription for Jing'an to write down. "Go get one, add three bowls of water, and boil it over low heat until it becomes one bowl."

Fang Zhining watched as Xia Huaiya broke out in a thin layer of sweat after only a few golden needles were inserted. He sighed, not knowing what had happened to this princess, who was dying in just a few months. "Give me some sliced ​​ginseng."

She placed the piece of ginseng in Xia Huaiya's mouth, and continued to give acupuncture after she had held her breath. The entire Changning Palace was silent, and everyone was as quiet as chickens, not daring to make any sound. If Xia Huaiya died, the empress dowager might make them be buried with him in a rage.

Fang Zhining injected the last golden needle into Xia Huaiya, but blood flowed from the corner of Xia Huaiya's lips at this time, which shocked everyone who saw it. Only Fang Zhining calmly wiped the blood from the corner of Xia Huaiya's lips with a handkerchief.

"Don't worry. This needle is called "Resurrection of Dead Trees". Even a person with one breath left can hold on for another three days after taking this needle." Fang Zhining took out the ginseng slice from his mouth and threw it on the handkerchief beside him.

"What's wrong with my sister? Even if she coughed up blood before, it wasn't like this." Jing'an wanted to know what had happened. She didn't doubt Fang Zhining's medical skills, but this made it even more unreasonable.

Fang Zhining looked at Jing'an deeply: "Her illness is strange, but she doesn't remember anything that happened before. I can't tell you. The most urgent thing is to save her life first, and then let her remember what happened before. I can ask her clearly before I can treat her."

"What happened in the past?" Jing'an grabbed the handkerchief.

"Princess, do you know something?" Fang Zhining noticed something was wrong with her words. "No one would get such a strange disease for no reason. If you know something, please don't hide it, otherwise it will only delay Princess Huaiya's time."
