Soon it was time to go back to the Jiang Mansion to get the herbs, and Jiang Yanwan went back in a carriage.

The mansion was still magnificent, but there was an oppressive atmosphere in the air.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I saw Jiang Shihuan coming towards me hurriedly with a flattering smile on her face.

"Sister, you are finally back! I heard that you made the magical 'Wanyan Powder' in the palace. Can you give me some too?"

Jiang Shihuan's eyes flashed with greed, and she completely disregarded the etiquette between sisters.

Jiang Yanwan sneered in her heart, but remained calm on her face: "Sister, the affairs in the palace are complicated, and the materials of Wanyan powder are precious and difficult to make. I don't have any extra."

"Sister, you have taken away my good life for more than ten years. Now as compensation, please help me!" Jiang Shihuan was unwilling to give up and began to use moral blackmail.

Faced with her entanglement, Jiang Yanwan felt mixed emotions, and finally shook her head.

Seeing that she was no longer able to give in, Jiang Shihuan's face changed and she threatened, "Humph, don't think I don't know that the raw materials for your 'Wanyan Powder' are hidden in your room. If you don't give it to me, I'll take it myself!"

Before she finished her words, she turned and rushed towards Jiang Yanwan's boudoir.

Jiang Yanwan's heart tightened and she followed closely, but she was still a step late.

There was a loud bang, and the house was in a mess. The precious herbs were scattered all over the floor and were trampled upon mercilessly.

"Sister, why are you doing this?" Jiang Yanwan sighed, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

"I don't care. You must give me 'Wanyan Powder' today!" Jiang Shihuan was very proud and didn't care about the consequences at all.

Jiang Yanwan pondered for a moment and took out a small bottle from the cabinet, which contained a different kind of "Wanyan Powder" from usual.

She knew in her heart that the bottle contained a small amount of herbs that could cause allergic reactions, but it would not cause serious harm, so she considered it as a lesson for this stupid woman.

"Well, this bottle is for you, but remember, don't abuse it."

Jiang Yanwan handed the bottle to Jiang Shihuan with a warning in her words.

Jiang Shihuan took the bottle and was ecstatic. She couldn't wait to apply the "Wanyan Powder" on her face that night, fantasizing about being able to shine in front of King Jin the next day.

The next morning, panicked screams were heard from the Jiang Mansion.

Jiang Yanwan came over when she heard the noise, only to see that Jiang Shihuan’s face was swollen like a ripe peach, all red and swollen, and in great pain.

"Jiang Yanwan! What the hell did you give me? Look at my face!"

Jiang Shihuan cried and screamed, her eyes full of fear and anger.

Jiang Yanwan looked at Jiang Shihuan's swollen face and said calmly, "Sister, you should know that everything has its rules and costs. I advise you to see a doctor first."

After saying that, she turned around and tried to leave, but Jiang Shihuan grabbed her sleeve and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't even think about escaping! I'm going to tell my father that you harmed me!"

Jiang Yanwan gently broke free, saying, "It's up to you," and left without looking back.

Jiang Shihuan was furious. She didn't care about the pain on her face and went straight to Prince Jin's mansion, intending to punish Jiang Yanwan with the help of Prince Jin.

However, the Prince Jin's Mansion was heavily guarded, and she was able to enter with great difficulty. However, due to her distorted face, she was mistaken for an assassin who had sneaked in.

"How dare you, a bold assassin, break into the palace at night!" King Jin's voice was as cold as ice. Without waiting for Jiang Shihuan to explain, he threw a fierce straight punch and knocked her to the ground.

"I'm not an assassin! I'm Jiang Shihuan!" She struggled and shouted, but her voice was drowned out by the night and chaos.

When the guards arrived and confirmed her identity, Prince Jin had disappeared, leaving behind Jiang Shihuan, who was stunned.

She covered her aching abdomen, her heart filled with hatred, and vowed to make Jiang Yanwan pay the price.

The next day, Jiang Shihuan dragged her tired body back to the Jiang Mansion. She learned that Jiang Yanwan had gone to the palace and that the princess intended to keep her there for a long time. She was furious and felt that she had been completely abandoned.

"Good Jiang Yanwan, just wait, I won't let you have it easy!"

She growled in the empty room, vengeance gleaming in her eyes.

At the same time, in the magnificent imperial palace, Jiang Yanwan and Li Qing were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting happily.

"Yan Wan, your 'Wan Yan Powder' is truly amazing." Li Qing chuckled, her eyes full of recognition for Jiang Yan Wan's talent.

Jiang Yanwan smiled modestly: "Thank you for your praise, Princess. Yanwan only knows a little bit."

"You are too modest. By the way, I have a favor to ask of you." The princess changed the subject and her expression became serious. "The palace seems to be a little uneasy recently. I need someone I can trust to stay with me for more than a month. Are you willing to stay and help me?"

Jiang Yanwan's heart moved, and she bowed slightly: "It is Yanwan's honor to be able to share the worries of the princess."

The eldest princess nodded with satisfaction.

The next day, outside Defei's bedroom, spring was in full swing and the fragrance of flowers filled the air, but it could not cover up the tense atmosphere within the palace walls.

Jiang Yanwan followed Li Qing into Concubine De's residence.

She was ordered to treat Concubine De's illness, and she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Concubine De is a member of the royal family and is about to give birth. Her safety directly affects the stability of the palace.

"Yan Wan, have you been to the Imperial Medical Bureau? Have you read the tonic prescription that Imperial Physician Zhang wrote for Concubine De?" Li Qing frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

Jiang Yanwan shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, and then asked: "Princess, do you mean..."

"Those herbs are precious, but they are not suitable for Concubine De's current physical condition, especially since she is about to give birth. Excessive nourishment may not be appropriate." Li Qing explained, her eyes revealing her trust in Jiang Yanwan. "You are proficient in pharmacology, can you re-diagnose Concubine De?"

Jiang Yanwan's heart trembled. This was not only a test for her, but also concerned the safety of Concubine De and the future heir of the dragon.

She replied respectfully: "Yan Wan is willing to give it a try, but this matter requires the approval of Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort."

Upon hearing this, Concubine De showed gratitude on her face and said softly, "I have heard that your Wanyan Powder has miraculous effects, and I have great confidence in your medical skills. Please ask Miss to take my pulse."

Jiang Yanwan stepped forward and skillfully placed her hand on Concubine De's wrist. After a moment, she frowned slightly, with something in mind.

"Empress Defei has a weak constitution, so she shouldn't take too much supplements. She should focus on recuperation to avoid affecting her childbirth." Jiang Yanwan spoke bluntly, with unquestionable professionalism in her words.

Doctor Zhang, who was standing by, had a slightly changed expression when he heard this. He sneered disdainfully, "How dare a mere woman show off her skills in front of an expert? I have been practicing medicine for decades, how could I not know how to treat this disease?"

Jiang Yanwan smiled calmly, neither humble nor arrogant: "Doctors are like parents, and no matter whether they are men or women, they all put the welfare of their patients first. Since Doctor Zhang is so confident, why don't we have a live competition and judge who is better based on the actual results?"
