Yan Yu and Shi Liang walked for a while and talked to him on the way.

It was rare for Shi Liang to hear the Princess of Qin talk so much, so he carefully flattered her. As the Princess of Qin walked north, he walked towards the King of Qin's residence and soon met Huo Wang on the road.

He handed the things to Huo Wang, whose eyes lit up: "Eunuch Shi, it's rare to see you. Have you been busy with your work recently? I'd like to invite you to have a drink. Someone presented our prince with a few bottles of wine, but he gave them all to the princess. The princess didn't drink them, so she gave them to me. I'm afraid such a good thing will be broken on the way back to Beijing, so I might as well find someone who knows the value of it to finish drinking it."

Shi Liang is of the same generation as Huo Wang's godfather, and usually he is too lazy to pay attention to him.

But Huo Wang is different now. He has become a favorite of Princess Qin, and most people have to give him some face.

Besides, the grape wine is in the luminous cup. In this dynasty, wine has always been tribute wine from the Western Regions, and only a few rich and powerful people can afford it.

Even someone of Shi Liang's status could only drink a few times.

Shi Liang smiled and said, "I still have to go back. I won't be free until later."

"Then come back when you have time."

"Row."

Just looking at what Wei Ruxuan and Xiao Jiashan said and did just now, Yan Yu couldn't tell whether they were the ones planning all this behind the scenes.

If it really was Xiao Jiashan, then his scheming was too deep.

Yan Yu was walking and thinking about something, and then he met someone face to face.

"Be careful!" Wanli helped Yan Yu up, then raised her head and glared at him, "Don't you have eyes? Why didn't you look at the road? You almost bumped into our princess!"

"Sorry, I'm so sorry."

Xiao Qirui was absorbed in thinking just now. The path here was narrow and winding, with flowers and trees on both sides. For a moment, he really didn't notice someone coming from the opposite direction.

Yan Yu looked up and saw that it was Xiao Qirui, and gently patted the back of Wanli's hand: "Don't be rude, this is His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

Xiao Qirui didn't expect to see Wanli again in such a situation. He smiled at Wanli and said, "It's okay."

In an instant, all the blood drained from Wanli's face, and she turned extremely pale.

Yan Yu asked: "Why is Seventh Master here?"

Xiao Qirui smiled and said, "There's nothing to do these days, and the emperor doesn't take us out hunting, so we can only wander around the palace. Third sister-in-law, is this your cousin?"

Yan Yu knew that Xiao Qirui was a dishonest person, and coupled with what happened to Miss Ma before, any unmarried girl around her would never be allowed to get close to Xiao Qirui.

Yan Yu said: "The weather is nice today, so I came out for a walk. I wanted to go see Jiao Lian."

Xiao Qirui looked at Wanli again.

In his eyes, Wanli had a bit of a weird temper. She wasn't happy at all after knowing that he was a prince. Could it be that she minded about something?

Xiao Qirui's expression remained unchanged, still warm and gentle: "I haven't seen Third Brother these days. Is Third Brother busy?"

Yan Yu smiled and said, "He doesn't like to go out. He has been staying in the study these two days. I don't know what he is reading."

"I see." Xiao Qirui said, "Third sister-in-law, I have something else to do, so I'll go over first."

Xiao Qiru left quickly, and Yan Yu also went to Zheng's place.

Zheng didn't expect Yan Yu to visit her on his own initiative. She smiled and asked someone to prepare tea and pastries for Yan Yu.

Wanli looked dazed and didn't even know how she got in. When she saw Zheng, her face turned pale again.

Zheng was wearing a lilac dress. She did not put on too much makeup because she was at home. She had almond eyes, rosy cheeks, and a melon-shaped face as big as a palm, and she had a unique charm like a lotus on the water.

Yan Yu took a sip of the tea and said, "I have not been out for the past few days because I have not been feeling well. The maidservant beside me was clumsy and got hit by the stone screen. I got hurt. I really don't know what to do."

Zheng was surprised: "Ah?"

Yan Yu said: "My nanny is also injured. She has been with me for more than ten years and is so old... Alas, I don't have any medicine to heal her. I wanted to call the imperial physician, but I was afraid that if he was disturbed for the sake of the servants, our prince would know and scold me."

Zheng didn't bring any healing medicine with her on this trip. She wanted to tell the imperial physician if anything happened. "Unfortunately, I didn't bring any either. I do have some ginseng and ganoderma lucidum tonics."

Yan Yu frowned: "I just met Master Qi on my way here. Master Qi is always careful. I don't know if he has any good medicine for healing. I forgot to ask him at that time. Jiaolian, can you help me ask?"

"Okay." Zheng smiled and said, "If he gives it to me, I'll have someone deliver it."

The two chatted and drank tea. Zheng couldn't help sighing as she spoke: "Seventh Master took a fancy to Fifth Sister-in-law's cousin. I went to Fifth Sister-in-law to ask her, wanting to give her cousin to Seventh Master as a concubine. Guess what Fifth Sister-in-law said? She said that if I wanted to find out, I had to kowtow to her first! This is really too much!"

Yan Yu said: "Princess Rui is just like that. Don't spoil her."

After hearing what Zheng said, Wanli's face turned pale again and she looked at Zheng in disbelief.

Zheng said: "Yes, I can't stand this. I would rather be beaten and scolded by the Seventh Master than to bow to her. I can only wait until I return to the capital and find a good one for the Seventh Master."

Yan Yu lowered her eyes slightly, thinking that being too virtuous would only lead to being eaten up without leaving even a bone. However, Zheng believed that only by swallowing her anger could she gain Xiao Qirui's respect, and if she acted a little tougher she would be beaten up.

She firmly believed that she would spend her whole life with Xiao Qirui, and that this was the only way for her life. She had never heard of a royal family getting divorced. What good outcome would she have if she didn't listen to Xiao Qirui?

It is definitely not the place for others to persuade her. Zheng has not yet hit her head against the wall and is bleeding. If someone else said it, people might think that they are deliberately trying to alienate the relationship between her and her husband.

Yan Yu sat for another quarter of an hour and then left.

Not long after she left, the Seventh Prince returned.

Zheng stood up quickly.

Xiao Qirui asked: "What did Third Sister-in-law say today?"

Zheng said, "My third sister-in-law said her wet nurse was injured and it was difficult to call the imperial physician. She wanted to ask if we had any good medicine for the wound. I said I didn't have any."

Xiao Qirui narrowed his eyes and said, "I happen to have some here. Please have someone deliver it to you later."

Not long after, Zheng's maid brought Yan Yu two bottles of ancient healing ointment.

Yan Yu smelled it and took it to the imperial physician.

This imperial physician was Xiao Chengji's man. He had often come here secretly in the past few days, and Yan Yu had become very familiar with him.

The imperial physician smelled the golden wound medicine, put a little into his mouth, then smelled the ancient ointment, dipped the ointment into his hand and tried it.

After a while, the doctor said, "The wound medicine is fine, it's just an ordinary recipe. These two bottles of ointment are added with Jade Crane Grass, which can make the wound heal quickly, but it is secretly poisonous and can endanger life over time. Jade Crane Grass has a cool smell and will gradually warm the skin when applied to it. It is a rare thing."
