Chapter Seventeen: The Most Difficult Challenge

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves, slung his medicine box over his shoulder, and dashed off at top speed.

"Your Highness, I must return to report! There is no need for you to see me off!"

As soon as Yu Shiyan raised his hand, Liu Huai's voice had already faded into the distance along with his figure.

...I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.

But something was clearly wrong.

Logically, she would have gone back to complain to her grandmother long ago.

Yu Shiyan suddenly had a headache.

He was momentarily at a loss for words to figure out what she was thinking.

——

Yuan Siyin lay on the soft couch with a look of utter despair, feeling that this was the most mortifying moment of her life, bar none.

Even through the curtain, she could imagine a dozen imperial physicians staring at each other, wide-eyed at the small cut on her finger.

See? See? Hurry up!

Otherwise it would have healed in no time.

She was deeply resistant to this kind of display, but the Empress Dowager was almost furious when she saw her looking like a dog that had rolled around in a pond.

"In my humble opinion, Miss Yuan is of noble birth and should not be given strong medicine. She should rest in bed for a few days and eat light porridge to recuperate. She will get better naturally."

Yuan Siyin impatiently withdrew her hand, startling more than a dozen people.

A rustling sound came from behind the curtain, and a moment later, she reached out her hand again, holding a silver ingot in her palm.

"Uh...this..."

The elderly physician at the head of the group wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeve and tremblingly accepted the silver ingot: "Then... Miss's injuries are quite serious. I'm afraid she won't be able to be exposed to the wind for three months?"

Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads and secretly grumbled inwardly.

As expected of Miss Yuan, the Seventh Prince is likely to suffer again.

"Tsk! They're not playing by the rules!"

The woman inside the curtain angrily slammed her hand on the bed.

Another silver ingot was extended.

Five months...?

The old doctor was sweating profusely.

Hearing that she remained silent, seemingly still dissatisfied, the old doctor felt he had encountered the most severe challenge of his medical career: "No more than a year..."

Yuan Siyin sat up angrily, flung open the curtain, startling the group of imperial physicians who turned their backs: "My hand is broken, not my leg! Are you going to let bacteria grow in here for so long?! Can't you even get things right?!"

As she spoke, she grabbed the old doctor by the collar, cursing, "I want to be better now, you know what I mean?"

"Understood, this old minister understands..."

The old doctor was almost in tears.

Being a royal physician in the palace is difficult, but treating this ancestor of the Yuan family is even more difficult.

If you don't have the mental fortitude, you'll pass away.

After she finished bandaging the wound, more than a dozen imperial physicians fled as if they were running away. I dare not say anything else, but this year's Imperial Physicians were definitely the fastest to run away.

Yuan Siyin originally wanted to sneak out, but the Empress Dowager caught her red-handed and kept her in Jianzhang Palace for three days in a chaotic manner before finally letting her out of the palace to get some fresh air.

I'm finally out of prison!

Yuan Siyin stood with her hands on her hips at the palace gate, feeling the bright sunshine and an aura of freedom surrounding her.

Cool!

Of course, aside from the strange looks from the guards behind me, everything else was fine.

She took the reins from the guard, but instead of rushing up, she put her arms around its neck and tried to reason with it.

"Ta Xue, can I talk to you about something?"

Can we maintain a constant speed?

Ta Xue exhaled a puff of hot air, and the horse's mane flew up. Yuan Siyin didn't know if it understood or not, so she could only bite the bullet and mount the horse.

Despite her swift and graceful movements, it turned out that Ta Xue didn't listen to her instructions at all, and instead ran even faster.

Help……

It cannot be said that snow-walking is devoid of human nature; rather, it is said that it has absolutely nothing to do with being human.

How can someone persecute their own master like this?

Yinyin felt wronged, but she didn't say anything.
