"Sister, hurry up and eat a candied fruit."
The Second Prince's Consort leaned against the bedside, listlessly looking at the bowl of candied fruit. For some reason, she couldn't help but drool, especially when she saw the sour-smelling preserved plums.
"Eat these slowly. Even if you want to eat more, don't eat too much. Eating too much will make your stomach acidic."
Just as Li Youran was speaking, His Highness the Second Prince arrived in a hurry, followed by Feng Heng.
"Doctor Ma prescribed some medicine for the Second Prince's wife to take her pulse."
After entering the room, the Second Prince hurriedly went to the Second Princess, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at her with a nervous expression.
Ma Heng first put the medicine box aside, then looked at the bowl of candied fruit next to the Second Prince's Consort, and then turned his gaze to Li Youran's face, where he saw that Li Youran's face was full of smiles.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Let me take a look at the Second Prince's Consort."
Ma Heng already had a general idea in mind. As he spoke, he took out the tools needed for pulse diagnosis, then placed a layer of fine gauze on the Second Prince's wife's wrist and began to take her pulse.
"Congratulations to the Second Prince and his wife. The Second Prince's wife is pregnant."
Ma Heng bowed to the Second Prince, Tianxia.
The maidservant beside him hurriedly knelt down as well, congratulating the Second Prince and his wife.
"Wenwan, we're having a baby!"
After a long while, the Second Prince finally came to his senses and looked at the Second Prince's wife with a happy expression.
Li Youran didn't want to see the couple showing off their affection here, so she wisely withdrew.
After leaving the Second Prince's wife's palace, there were ponds on both sides, filled with lotus flowers. Li Youran looked at the lotus flowers and suddenly thought of Kong Qi.
During this period, the jewelry shop had been managed by Kong Qi, and Li Youran had not had time to go to the jewelry shop to check on it.
I went there in a hurry yesterday, but Kong Qi wasn't in the shop. The waiter told me that Kong Qi had gone out with the Sixth Princess.
The sixth princess was also a person with a tragic fate, even more so than the eldest princess.
Although the eldest princess went away to marry a foreign ruler, her husband passed away and she returned to marry a foreign prince, and she lived a decent life.
But the Sixth Princess was different. She was born without the ability to have children and was called a "stone woman". Even if she had countless male concubines, what use were they?
The Sixth Princess and the Fourth Prince were born of the same mother. Although their mother was of lowly status, the Sixth Princess held a relatively high position because the emperor's sons were few. The emperor specially built a palace for her and bestowed upon her the title of Princess Jinghe.
"Princess."
Just as Li Youran was thinking about Kong Qi and the Sixth Princess, she suddenly heard Feng Heng's voice.
"Does the princess like lotus flowers?"
"Dr. Feng, you flatter me. I don't have such profound thoughts or awareness. I was just thinking about lotus seed soup because I saw lotus seeds growing on it..."
Li Youran knew that she was staring blankly at the lotus flowers, which made Feng Heng misunderstand that she liked lotus flowers, so she awkwardly explained.
"Dr. Feng, do you have other plans for this afternoon? Would you like to come out with me?"
Li Youran suddenly remembered Feng Heng's exceptional medical skills. If he could cure the Sixth Princess's illness, wouldn't that help Kong Qi find happiness...?
"Of course."
Feng Heng never expected that Li Youran would take her to a place like the Jiaofangsi (a brothel).
"Feng Gongzhi, don't misunderstand, I just brought you here to meet a friend."
Seeing Feng Hong's unpleasant expression, Li Youran hurriedly offered an explanation.
It would have been better not to explain; the explanation only made things worse. Feng Heng's face darkened further. He couldn't believe that Li Youran actually had friends in the Imperial Academy...
Is Kong Qi here?
After Li Youran entered, he first tossed a silver coin to the servant at the door and then asked a question.
"Replying to Miss, our young master Kong is currently receiving the sixth young master. Please wait a moment."
“Tell him that I am the manager of Wutongge and that I have important matters to discuss with him.”
As Li Youran spoke, he tossed another silver coin to the servant, who responded and quickly left.
Feng Heng stood behind Li Youran, awkwardly rubbing his nose with his hand. He didn't know whether to stand or sit, and he didn't know where to look.
In the hall, there were men playing the zither, men practicing swordsmanship, and men drinking with women; the scene was quite chaotic.
This was Feng Heng's first time entering a place like the Jiaofangsi, and he vowed that this would be the last time he ever came to such a place in his life.
"Miss, please come with me."
Just as Li Youran and Feng Heng were feeling awkward, the servant hurriedly returned. Li Youran felt as if she had seen a savior and hurriedly took Feng Heng with her and left with the servant.
"Princess!"
Kong Qi was very excited when he saw Li Youran. He wanted to take Li Youran's hand, but then he remembered that the Sixth Princess was still there. In addition, there was a difference between men and women, and Li Youran did not like close contact, so he withdrew his outstretched hand.
"I had heard long ago that the princess had returned to the capital and I wanted to visit her, but I was delayed. Yesterday, I heard from the shop assistant that the princess had gone to the shop, but I didn't expect to miss her like this."
Li Youran was about to respond to Kong Qi's words when she was made uncomfortable by a burning gaze.
"Sixth Princess".
Li Youran nodded to the Sixth Princess as a gesture of respect.
"Kong Qi, I've come here to give you a big gift."
Li Youran smiled and looked at Kong Qi, then glanced at the Sixth Princess, and then introduced Feng Heng to Kong Qi.
"This is Dr. Feng Heng, the doctor who helped quell the epidemic."
