"Who do you think discovered the eunuch in the well?" Yun Beiye suddenly thought of the origin of this matter.

"Oh, it's A Xiang from the Hibiscus Palace, the palace maid who originally took care of the little princess," Zhao Zhongquan hurriedly replied.

"Yes, Ah Xiang, make amends for your sins and return to Fu Shuang Palace to take care of the little princess from today." Yun Beiye's brows relaxed. He knew that Ah Xiang had always cared deeply for his daughter and was a loyal person.

Ah Xiang will be very happy to go back to Fu Shuang Palace to take care of Duo Duo. Thinking of this, Yun Beiye smiled unconsciously.

Whenever he thinks of his daughter, that soft and cuddly little dumpling, his heart is filled with warmth.

"Yes, this old servant will go and deliver the decree immediately." Zhao Zhongquan bowed his head and walked quickly out to deliver the message to Zhaoyang Palace. At this moment, A Xiang was in Empress Zhaoyuan's palace.

...

As darkness fell outside, Consort Zheng gazed at the bright moonlight from inside the Cold Palace, her arms wrapped around herself.

She had heard about what had happened in the palace recently, and her eyes held a mixture of smugness, arrogance, and resentment.

[Little sister, don't blame me for being heartless. It's just that you were too immature. If you hadn't always been thinking about taking my place, I wouldn't have taken action against you so soon.]

The Zheng family can only rely on her; no one can trample her underfoot!

...

Inside the Fu Shuang Palace, Yun Duoduo was crawling around on the ground, exercising her limbs, when she suddenly heard laughter and footsteps coming from the doorway.

It sounds like several people have arrived.

Are you here to see her?

She was really bored staying in the palace every day. Now that someone came to visit her, talk to her, and preferably read her some storybooks to lull her to sleep, that would be perfect.

"Duoduo!" Empress Zhaoyuan walked in, lifting her skirt.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress!" The palace maids and eunuchs of Fushuang Palace all knelt down.

"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty the Empress and His Highness Prince Ning." Jin Jinzhi bowed respectfully.

"Well, Third Imperial Brother, this is..." Empress Zhaoyuan was about to introduce him when Yun Beiming spoke up.

“I know, I know. This young man is Jin Jinzhi, the eldest son of General Jin Xiaoran.” Yun Beiming looked at Jin Jinzhi with admiration.

"Jin Zhi has also gained considerable fame in the northern frontier!"

"Your Highness is too kind. I dare not accept such praise," Jin Jinzhi said modestly, bowing slightly.

Upon entering the bedchamber, Empress Zhaoyuan saw Yun Duoduo crawling around on the ground with her bottom sticking up, so she bent down and picked her up in her arms.

"Duoduo, although there is a wool blanket on the ground, it is still cold. Girls especially cannot catch a cold. You must pay attention to these things from a young age, otherwise you will suffer later!" Empress Zhaoyuan pinched Yun Duoduo's little nose.

[What the Empress said is true. She remembered that when she was a child in modern times, she caught a chill while running in the snow, which left her with a chronic illness that caused her excruciating menstrual cramps.]

"I heard that Duoduo can talk?"

A few days ago, the news that Yun Duoduo called His Majesty "Father" spread like wildfire in the palace.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this morning, the little princess said she wanted to drink milk!" Granny Liu said proudly from the side.

"Yeah?!"

"Duoduo is so amazing!"

[That's right, a flower among infants, mature and composed. Yun Duoduo is a transmigrator from the modern world. She's read at least 36 transmigration novels, if not palace intrigue ones. Speaking is no problem for her!]

"Come on, Duoduo, repeat after your mother!" Empress Zhaoyuan said excitedly, eager to try.

"ox."

"ox."

"Meat."

"Meat."

"beef."

"Oil again."

Uh, things went wrong.

[It's alright. Even if your pronunciation isn't perfect, as long as you can express yourself clearly, it's fine. You've at least reached a Level 2B standard in Mandarin.]

Empress Zhaoyuan would say a sentence, and Yun Duoduo would obediently repeat it. However, her tongue and mouth were not cooperative. She could pronounce the individual words correctly, but when they were put together, they didn't sound right.

"Duoduo, let your elder brother teach you to speak!"

"Brother." Yun Yibo came closer and taught her to speak.

"Here you go."

"Hahaha!" Yun Yibo laughed so hard he slapped his thigh.

Ugh, it's unbearable to look at.

Faced with Yun Yibo's merciless mockery, Yun Duoduo could only turn her face away and purse her lips.

Learning to speak is so difficult!

"Duoduo, when Third Uncle saw this sachet, he felt it was a perfect match for our little girl!"

"When your head feels uncomfortable, just smell this sachet!"

Yun Duoduo liked Yun Beiming's Chongqing dialect very much. She wanted to grow up quickly so she could go to the Shu Kingdom.

"Take a sniff!"

Yun Beiming waved the sachet in front of Yun Duoduo, and Yun Duoduo took a deep breath.

[It smells so good! It's a very refreshing scent, she loves it!]

"Hey hey!" Yun Duoduo said in her baby voice, her words muffled.

"Oh, is Duoduo saying thank you?!"

The group was quite surprised and started talking to Yun Duoduo.

...

The Northern Liang royal family, King Baili Yingfeng of Northern Liang, looked at the letter in his hand and frowned slightly.

"If you see flowers, you've failed."

"The spices that were sent to the royal family in Nanyang before were all poisonous, and the 'flower' variety is the most toxic."

"This spice will probably have to be banned."

"Hmph, I didn't expect the Nanyang royal family to be so full of hidden talents. There are even people who recognize our Beiliang spices." Baili Yingfeng curled his lips.

"Your Majesty, shall I send word to Medicine King Valley to prepare the Love Silk Entanglement?" said the hooded guard beside him.

“Go ahead.” Baili Yingfeng nodded.

"The threads of affection are intertwined with the spring breeze, and sent to the royal family of Nanyang in two batches."

Since we cannot poison the emperor's younger brother in Nanyang, it would be acceptable to let him die from exhaustion.

Thinking of this, Baili Yingfeng smiled wickedly.

"Notify Medicine King Valley that if necessary, we should use the Western Return Powder."

"Yes, I will take care of it right away."

Just as the hooded man was about to leave, Baili Yingfeng raised his hand and called him back.

"etc,"

"Is Yun Mohan, the Prince of Jin of Nanyang, already in the northern frontier?"

"Your Majesty, yes, Yun Mohan and his group have been in the Northern Frontier for some time now." Bei Liang has been sending people to monitor the movements near the Northern Frontier.

"Hmm, he must have witnessed the power of the Northern Frontier. Give the order, our people can be mobilized."

Baili Yingfeng curled his lips into a smile, picked up the letter with his slender fingers, and threw it into the brazier. He stared at the small flames and fell into deep thought.

[If he makes these two moves, the world of Nanyang will be his sooner or later!]

...

Within the borders of the Northern Liang Kingdom, a clear stream meanders through the land, where lush grass and wildflowers abound. In the Medicine King Valley, nestled amidst steep cliffs, rows of neat thatched huts sit on a small clearing in the middle of the valley. Several men dressed in straw clothing are examining the medicinal herbs growing there.
