Squeak...

As the door opened, a ray of light shone in. Yi Shangyun looked up in surprise and saw several maids carrying lanterns walk in. Yi Shangjun and Yi Shangxue followed behind, striding in with an imposing air. Behind them was Aunt Lan. Yi Shangyun was so stunned that she didn't even have time to remove her veil and stood there frozen, not daring to move.

"You slut, where have you been gallivanting around dressed like that in the middle of the night?" Yi Shangjun spoke first, his fierce eyes fixed on Yi Shangyun. Yi Shangyun paused, and before she could speak, Yi Shangxue spoke up.

"Oh, so you know you're ugly, huh? You cover your face because you're afraid of scaring ghosts when you go out, right? If that's the case, why don't you just die? You and your mother are both stubborn and resilient. Someone like you occupying the position of the eldest daughter of the Yi family is simply a disgrace to the Yi family."

Seeing Yi Shangyun looking at her, she became even more furious and said, "Do you understand? Only I can bring glory to the Yi family." When Yi Shangxue said this, her expression was almost ferocious, and she no longer had the demeanor of a well-bred lady.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly turned around and reached out to slap Yi Shangyun. Little did she know that the current Yi Shangyun was no longer as easy to bully as the original owner. Yi Shangyun swiftly extended his strong right hand and grabbed Yi Shangxue's wrist tightly. The force was so great that Yi Shangxue's bones cracked. Her body twisted, and she couldn't help but scream, "Brother, save me!"

"Yi Shangyun, let go!" Yi Shangjun shouted as he walked over.

"If you want the status of the eldest daughter of the Yi family, you'll only become the eldest daughter of the Yi family if I die. If you have the ability, come and take my life, and you'll be the eldest daughter of the Yi family. If you don't have that ability, you'd better behave yourself," Yi Shangyun retorted sharply, not to be outdone, and then looked at the mother and her two children. Clearly, her words were meant for these three people.

She didn't care about status, but she absolutely wouldn't allow herself to be provoked time and time again. Just because she wasn't showing her teeth didn't mean she was a pushover. This was her way of telling them that from now on, she was no longer someone to be trifled with.

"Stop it, all of you! Don't you even respect me?" Seeing the situation, Yi Shangjun helped Yi Shangxue to Lan Yiniang's side. The three of them looked at each other, clearly shocked by the girl before them. She wasn't like this before; today she had such strength to resist. After being in a coma for a year, she seemed like a completely different person.

"Yun'er, your father just returned to the palace. Before he left, he said he ordered some herbs from Baicaotang. Here's the prescription. Go to Baicaotang tomorrow and tell them not to make any mistakes that could cause Master any unnecessary trouble," Aunt Lan said, handing over a prescription. Yun took it, wanting to take a look. Just as she reached the door, Aunt Lan suddenly turned back.

"Furthermore, your engagement has been broken off, a great disgrace to the Yi family. Do not let the Yi family be disgraced any further." After saying this, Aunt Lan turned and walked towards the front courtyard, and everyone followed closely behind, closing the door behind them.

Yi Shangyun took a deep breath, took a list of herbs, and walked into Mingyue Pavilion.

Upon reaching the attic, she changed into a long, pinkish-purple dress, which accentuated her tall and slender figure, making her appear even more elegant and serene. No one could have imagined that such a gentle and refined woman would have uttered such powerful words and actions just moments before.

The catalyst has been successfully obtained, but it still needs the assistance of other branch system items of the chip. However, after trying for a long time, it still hasn't recovered. Helplessly, we can only wait.

At this moment, she was sitting at the table, looking at the prescription in her hand with surprise. The Imperial Pharmacy had so many treasures: Pinellia ternata, Houttuynia cordata, Hedyotis diffusa, Cyperus rotundus, Dendrobium nobile, Scutellaria baicalensis, Panax notoginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, black goji berries, Ganoderma lucidum... Baicaotang actually had all these precious medicinal materials. It seemed that Baicaotang was definitely not simple. She decided to have a good look at this magical Baicaotang tomorrow.

After removing her inner garments, she finally lay on the couch, staring blankly at the curtains. So many things had happened today. She suddenly remembered the guy in the woods two hours ago, and couldn't help but recall that cold silhouette. She thought: He should be awake by now.

At this moment, in the Qin King's Mansion in the east of Xiqin City, a doctor in white was disinfecting, applying medicine, and re-bandaging Qin King Xuanyuan Han's wounds.

“Your Highness, this injury is quite serious; any more and it would have been fatal. However, the person who treated the wound is quite skilled in medicine and medication. Fortunately, the timely rescue was timely, otherwise, the outcome would have been dire.” Xuan Yuanhan ignored him, still exuding a cold and awe-inspiring aura.

Seeing that the prince remained silent, the physician continued to instruct him, "Your Highness needs to rest for the next few days and should not exert yourself to avoid reopening the wound." After carefully finishing his instructions, the physician in white prepared to collect the mess and leave.

"Leave the handkerchief behind," Xuan Yuanhan commanded coldly, his face expressionless, as he glanced at the items the doctor was gathering in his hands. The doctor immediately tidied the handkerchief, placed it on a clean plate, handed it over with both hands, and slowly retreated.

He had just slowly picked up a corner of the silk handkerchief. This legendary, cold-faced King of Western Qin, who was said to have severe mysophobia, was actually picking up such a dirty and rough object with his bare hands. If the world knew, they would probably suspect that he was possessed.

The snow-white silk handkerchief was stained with the color and scent of herbs, and a delicate "Yun" character was embroidered on one corner. Was it related to her name? Xuan Yuanhan pondered, as the scene from earlier suddenly flashed through his mind.

Why would such a thin and frail woman appear alone in such a deep valley at night, dressed in black? Yet, when threatened with a sword, she remained remarkably calm and showed no panic whatsoever. She even told him to take off his clothes and dared to tell him she would never see him again...

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a rare, handsome smile curved his lips, a hint of amusement in them...

Night had fallen. In the Qin Prince's Mansion in the east of the city and the Yi Mansion in the west, two sleepless souls simultaneously gazed out the window. In the quiet night, a crescent moon hung in the sky, stars twinkled, and a gentle breeze blew. The warmest thing in the world was that you were thinking of me, and I was thinking of you too...
