She knew the prince's residence very well and quickly found the main room to sit down. She even asked Su Yue to find the tea leaves and tea set that she had insisted on bringing earlier and started boiling water to brew tea herself.

Perhaps because she had waited too long, she became drowsy and fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how much time passed, but I could vaguely hear some noise.

She suddenly opened her eyes, put down her notebook, and went outside to listen for sounds.

This time, the little notebook protested, refusing to serve as free labor anymore, and even offered 1,000 luck points per use.

You Ran was so angry she laughed. She immediately closed the panel and told Su Yue to go outside and inquire.

Little Notebook looked completely bewildered: ...

You still have over 8000 luck points left, why aren't you being incredibly stingy?!

It only needs another 3,000 or so luck points to reach 10,000 and continue upgrading, sob sob sob.

You Ran couldn't let it continue to upgrade. What if it upgraded and then raised prices drastically?

Su Yue came in a moment later with a strange expression and reported, "Miss, I heard that it seems that the Princess Consort of Xuan has returned... but it's very noisy in that courtyard, so I can't get in. I can't find out any more than that."

You Ran was startled. The Princess Consort of Xuan?

I've heard that Princess Xuan has been recuperating at a separate residence, or perhaps she's settled in the southern region with Prince Xuan. In all the years I've frequented Prince Xuan's residence in this capital, I've never seen Princess Xuan even once. On the contrary, I was introduced to her by my senior brother a few years ago when Prince Xuan returned to the capital to report on his duties.

Could it be that Princess Xuan has actually been living in the Prince's mansion all along?

After thinking for a moment, she stood up. "Lead the way."

When she arrived at another courtyard, the guards stopped her. "Princess, the young master has ordered that no one is allowed to enter this place."

Since You Ran was a guest, she couldn't just barge in. She simply asked, "Is the Princess Consort of Xuan living inside? My senior brother and I grew up together, yet we've never even paid our respects to the Princess Consort. It's truly impolite of us. Would you mind if you could inform her for me?"

The guards showed no hesitation and directly refused, saying, "The princess is unwell and unable to receive guests."

As soon as she finished speaking, the courtyard gate suddenly opened, and an old woman rushed out in a panic, her hands covered in blood. "Ah Liu, the madam has hurt herself! Quick, go and fetch the family physician!"

The soldier addressed as Sixth Master was taken aback. "How could she be injured... Wasn't she... Ah, no, Physician Huang just took leave this morning to go back to his hometown. He won't be back for three days."

The old woman stamped her foot, "Then go outside and fetch a doctor! And be quick!"

"Yes, Granny Qin!"

The soldier was about to leave when You Ran stopped him.

"I have some medical knowledge; perhaps I can be of help."

Granny Qin's eyes lit up. "Miss, are you telling the truth?"

You Ran nodded, then turned to Su Yue and said, "Su Yue, quickly go to the carriage outside and get my medical kit. I'll go check on the situation first."

Su Yue responded with a "yes" and quickly ran off.

The guards couldn't stop her, and said with difficulty, "Granny Qin, she is..."

Granny Qin had already pulled You Ran inside, her tone leaving no room for argument, "Let her take a look first, she might be able to save the day. Don't delay, go and fetch a doctor!"

The soldier could only nod to another soldier and strode out to fetch a doctor.

Granny Qin hurriedly pulled You Ran along, "Miss, please come quickly! If you can save the Princess's life, you will be incredibly fortunate! The Princess's condition is extremely critical!"

As soon as the two entered the inner room, You Ran smelled a strong stench of blood.

There was a person curled up on the bed, their face as pale as paper beneath their disheveled hair.

An old woman was pressing down on her.

At the foot of the bed, a maid was tying her ankles to the headboard.

You Ran's pupils constricted sharply, and she demanded in a stern voice, "What are you doing?"

The maid was startled and instinctively looked at Granny Qin.

Granny Qin patted You Ran's hand, "Miss, don't be afraid. My mistress tends to hurt herself when she's lucid. We had no choice but to..."

As she spoke, she pulled You Ran to the bedside, lifted the corner of the blanket covering her wrists, revealing her haphazardly tied wrists.

You Ran was startled again. After taking a closer look, she was shocked and quickly grabbed the corner of the blanket to press down on her still bleeding wrist.

"She's still bleeding, and you didn't even try to stop the bleeding?!"

If the artery in the wrist is severed, one could easily bleed to death.

Granny Qin was also startled. "I thought it had stopped, so I went out to call for help. Perhaps the master has reopened the wound."

Before You Ran could say anything, she suddenly felt a pain in her arm.

The woman on the bed leaned down and bit her arm.

You Ran was taken aback, but her left hand, which was pressed against her wound, remained motionless.

Granny Qin panicked and tried to pull her away, "Miss! Miss! She's the doctor who came to treat your injuries! Please calm down..."

The more she pulled, the harder the woman bit back.

You Ran winced in pain, "Granny Qin, let her go, stop pulling her. Also, untie the ropes on her hands and feet."

Granny Qin hesitated, "Miss...she..."

You Ran looked at her with sharp eyes, "Your mistress is the Princess Consort of Xuan, right? You must be in great pain to treat her like this. With me here, there's no need to worry about her suddenly attacking people. Release her first."

"Yes." Granny Qin sighed, nodded to the maid, and the two of them began to untie the ropes one after the other.

You Ran quickly used her right hand to retrieve a tranquilizer from the bracelet's storage space, swiftly unpacked it, inserted the needle, and was about to insert it into the princess's arm when Qin Mama reached out in horror to stop her.

"Girl, what are you doing?!"

You Ran raised her eyelids and said, "This county princess is the junior sister of the Crown Prince of Xuan. I am unworthy of being called a little divine doctor by outsiders. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe your senior brother Yuan Bai."

She knew long ago that Wen Yuanbai's surname was not Wen; royal children naturally had the surname Chu, while Wen was the surname of the Princess Consort of Xuan.

Granny Qin stared at her for a moment before finally letting go.

You Ran successfully administered the sedative into the princess's body.

The two women, Qin and Mama, untied the ropes, worried that their master would suddenly lash out, but they saw their master's head slowly leave the girl's arm and lie down softly.

My whole body relaxed, and there was no trace of the irritability I had just displayed.

You Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to loosen her grip and kept pressing down firmly.

The old woman, Qin, asked tremblingly, "Miss...the Princess...hasn't the bleeding stopped yet?"

You Ran raised half of her palm. "Look for yourself, the corner of the blanket is all wet. I'm afraid an artery has been cut, and it will be extremely difficult to stop the bleeding."

Granny Qin knew that those who committed suicide by cutting their wrists were almost always beyond saving. Her legs gave way and she knelt down, crying, "Miss... I only misjudged you, how could you be so heartless as to kill yourself..."

A single tear slowly rolled down the corner of the princess's tightly closed eyes. Her voice was extremely soft and slow as she said, "Granny Qin, every day I live is a day of suffering… Why don't you just let me go… If I go to the underworld, I can keep my poor child company…"

Granny Qin's heart trembled, and she cried even louder.

Su Yue ran in at this moment, and You Ran instructed her to open her bag and take out the gold needles.
