My cousin stood up suddenly and ran out, but Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao were already guarding the door and stopped her.

Seeing this, Concubine Yun smiled coldly, "It seems that you have been prepared. But I'm afraid you don't know that she is my loyal servant."

Jiang Yanwan frowned, "Miss, we have always been dedicated to you, but why did you betray us?"

My cousin glared at me, "Devote yourself? You're just giving me some leftovers! What I want is my dignity!"

At this time, Yun Fei snorted coldly, "What dignity are you talking about? It's just because I saved you that year, and you have been loyal to me since then."

My cousin's face turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I do owe Concubine Yun a life. If she hadn't saved me back then, I would have been dead long ago. Now, I just want to repay her."

Wu Junyao said coldly, "In this case, you should pay the price for your actions."

He signaled to the people around him to detain the two of them.

Concubine Yun shouted unwillingly, "How dare you, ignorant youngsters, arrest me!"

Jiang Yanwan did not respond, but turned her gaze to her cousin, "We all remember the kindness you showed me in the past. But the crime you committed today cannot be forgiven no matter what."

The eldest princess had been observing silently from the side. When she was sure that everyone had been subdued, she slowly stepped forward and said, "Yan Wan, Jun Yao, take them to the imperial study. We will report to the emperor."

Under the escort of the guards, several people quickly rushed to the imperial study.

Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao walked to the emperor's desk together and reported in detail: "Your Majesty, when we were arresting Concubine Yun and her accomplices, we discovered that this woman had colluded with Concubine Yun and intended to rebel."

After the emperor heard this, a sinister light flashed in his eyes, "What a loyal lackey, he actually betrayed the royal family!"

My cousin knelt on the ground, trembling and crying, "Your Majesty, I was confused for a moment, please have mercy!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yanwan couldn't help but feel pity, "Your Majesty, although she is indeed guilty, considering that she once saved the life of the eldest princess, can you give her a lighter sentence?"

Concubine Yun sneered at the side, "Yan Wan, you are just fighting for yourself, right? Humph, unfortunately, the struggle in the palace is not something a kind-hearted woman like you can endure."

Wu Junyao immediately stepped forward and said firmly: "Your Majesty, no matter what, please deal with it according to the law of the country. Don't tolerate evil!"

The emperor looked at Concubine Yun and his cousin coldly, "I cannot tolerate your crimes. Come, take them out and behead them immediately to serve as a warning to others!"

This order made the atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly cold. The guards acted quickly and forced Concubine Yun and her cousin out of the imperial study. Jiang Yanwan's heart tightened and she wanted to plead again, but Wu Junyao held her back, "Yanwan, don't say anything more."

She watched the two men being taken away, feeling mixed emotions.

A moment later, a shrill scream was heard outside the imperial study, followed by the sound of a knife falling to the ground, and blood splattered on the ground, which was chilling.

After doing all this, the emperor turned to look at Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao, and said calmly: "You have done a good job. You must be more vigilant in the future and eliminate every threat in the bud."

Jiang Yanwan took a deep breath and tried to remain calm, "I understand, and I will live up to your majesty's favor."

After coming out of the imperial study, Jiang Yanwan felt her legs go weak and her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

She looked at Wu Junyao and whispered, "Do you think I'm too ruthless?"

Wu Junyao looked at her for a long time before sighing, "Sometimes, we have to make difficult choices. You are not wrong."

Jiang Yanwan nodded, but still couldn't let it go.

She knew that this palace was more complicated and cruel than she had imagined, and she had to be stronger to protect herself and the people around her.

At this moment, the eldest princess came over and said softly, "Yan Wan, Governor Wu, everyone has worked hard tonight. I have prepared some porridge and vegetarian soup. Let's go to the tea room to rest."

Jiang Yanwan smiled slightly and nodded in agreement, "Thank you, Princess. We also need to relax for a while."

The three of them walked towards the teahouse together. Along the way, they could still see the magnificence of the palace, but they could no longer conceal the heaviness in their hearts.

After entering the tea room, the princess personally poured them a cup of hot tea and said, "Yan Wan, you are still young, but you have been through so much. I hope you can be more resilient."

Jiang Yanwan looked at her gratefully and said, "Thank you, Princess. I will try my best."

The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the palace windows.

Jiang Yanwan was sitting at the desk, gently guiding Ayan in writing.

Little Ayan's serious look made her feel a little warm in her heart.

"Ayan, look, this word should be written like this..." Jiang Yanwan explained patiently.

Suddenly, a guard came in hurriedly, his tone respectful but a little nervous, "Miss Jiang, His Majesty has summoned you, please follow me as soon as possible."

Jiang Yanwan was slightly stunned. Ah Yan beside her raised his head and asked in a childish voice, "Mother, what does the emperor want to do?"

Jiang Yanwan touched Ah Yan's head and said with a smile, "It's okay, Ah Yan, just wait here for me. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, she followed the guards and quickly rushed to the imperial study.

Arriving at the door of the imperial study, Jiang Yanwan saw Wu Junyao already waiting there. He also looked a little uneasy.

The two entered the study together and saw that the emperor looked pale, obviously very different from his mental state yesterday.

"Your Majesty, what's going on..." Jiang Yanwan hurried forward to check the situation.

The emperor weakly raised his hand and motioned her to come closer. "Yan Wan, I have felt weak and dizzy since I woke up this morning. Can you help me see if I am sick?"

After carefully checking his pulse, Jiang Yanwan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, your pulse is very strange. It seems that you have been poisoned. Please allow me to diagnose you in more detail."

She immediately took out the acupuncture tools and some herbs she carried with her and began to perform acupuncture to detoxify the emperor.

However, as time went on, she found that the emperor's symptoms did not improve significantly, but became weaker.

Jiang Yanwan was anxious. In order to detoxify, she decided to feed the insect with her own blood and let the insect help remove the toxins.

Jiang Yanwan whispered to Wu Junyao: "Junyao, go get a bowl of hot water and some gauze."

Wu Junyao nodded and quickly brought the necessary things. Jiang Yanwan pierced her wrist with a silver needle, and bright red blood dripped into the hot water. Then, she put the Gu worm in a small porcelain bottle into the blood water, and the Gu worm quickly absorbed the blood and became unusually active.

Jiang Yanwan quietly placed the insect on the emperor's wrist, and the insect crawled around, as if trying to find the source of the poison.

After a while, the emperor's face gradually regained some color. He took a long breath and said weakly: "Yan Wan, you are really a miracle doctor. I feel much better."

Jiang Yanwan wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled with relief, "Your Majesty is fine for now, but this poison is obscure and difficult to resolve. I need to do further research before I can completely eradicate it."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Yan Wan, from now on, you will be my personal physician, and you will be on call at any time."

Jiang Yanwan was slightly startled, but did not dare to neglect it. "I obey your command and will do my best to take good care of Your Majesty."

A few days later, news spread in the palace that Jiang Yanwan, as a miracle doctor, had treated the emperor, attracting admiration from all the civil and military officials as well as the people.

Jiang Yanwan also became famous because of this and became one of the most popular figures in the capital.

Jiang Yanwan was very excited and determined to run a good clinic to save people.

After some preparation, Jiang Yanwan finally chose the location of the clinic and was about to select staff.

Unexpectedly, on the street, she saw a group of hooligans bullying a thin girl. The girl looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, with ragged clothes, but she resisted resolutely.

"Stop!" Jiang Yanwan shouted loudly and walked forward quickly.

When the gangster leader saw Jiang Yanwan, his face suddenly changed, and he obviously recognized this famous female doctor. They exchanged glances and reluctantly stepped back.

Jiang Yanwan walked to the girl and helped her up, "Little sister, are you okay?"
