Before Empress Yao, the emperor also had a beloved woman, but she was frail and sickly, and died not long after giving birth to Chongyu.

The emperor was so heartbroken that he lost interest in attending court. Fortunately, his beloved Chongyu helped him overcome his grief, which enabled him to decisively defeat the Liang Kingdom.

However, the emperor took a liking to the Empress of Liang at first sight, and from then on completely forgot about Chongyu's birth mother, so much so that he later sent Chongyu to Chu for a marriage alliance.

Originally, the princess's marriage was meant to be a bond that would foster friendly relations between the two countries, but who knew that the Crown Prince of Chu was tyrannical by nature and would beat Chongyu at the drop of a hat.

When she was pregnant, the Crown Prince of Chu insisted on having sex with her, which caused Chongyu to lose one child and she was unable to conceive again.

The Crown Prince of Chu disliked her for being unable to bear children and confined her to the cold palace, ignoring her completely.

Those wicked maids bullied Chongyu relentlessly. In despair, Chongyu attempted suicide by hitting her head against a pillar, but fortunately, she was secretly taken out of the palace by someone sent by the emperor.

After returning to Daqi, Chongyu seemed to have lost his mind and could never return to his former innocent and naive self.

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor doted on this eldest princess and indulged her in everything.

The emperor originally intended to send troops to destroy the Chu Kingdom directly, but the Chu Kingdom was not as easy to deal with as the Liang Kingdom. In the end, he only lost ten cities and the matter was dropped.

The emperor felt resentment when he thought about the injustices his daughter had suffered.

"You may leave now. I will stay with Chongyu for a few days. You may come back in a few days to treat the princess."

The emperor waved his hand and led Chongyu into the side hall. Ningyin then remembered that the woman who cried and sang late that night seemed to have the same voice as Chongyu.

Now, looking at it all together, it all makes sense. She could see how much the emperor cared about this daughter, so if she did her best to cure Chongyu, perhaps the emperor would forgive her out of gratitude.

When Ningyin returned to the Imperial Hospital, she asked Bai Meng if he had prepared those medicines, which were the secret recipe for Snow Skin Cream written in medical books.

The book says that the Snow Skin Cream can turn the rotten into the miraculous, removing all kinds of blemishes, scars, and birthmarks, and making people look ten years younger.

If she can successfully develop this product, her status in the palace will rise significantly.

Just then, Bai Meng limped over with the medicinal herbs. The fifty strokes of the cane last night had kept them in bed for half a day.

Some of the imperial physicians are still in bed, while Bai Meng, who had been worried about Ning Yin all night, was waiting in front of the Imperial Hospital early in the morning.

Who knew that Ningyin had just returned and changed her clothes when Eunuch Zhuang took her away.

Seeing Ning Yin return unharmed, Bai Meng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've gathered all the medicinal herbs. Are you alright? I was thinking that if you didn't come back soon, I would go and look for Lord Li again."

"Master Li?"

"Bai Meng, is this Lord Li you're talking about very handsome, and does he have a good relationship with the Crown Prince, especially those deep and bright peach blossom eyes?"

Ning Yin described Li Chengyan's appearance, then turned to Bai Meng and asked seriously.
