"Send him away." Ye Banxia supported Mother Ye, "Be careful, your feet are not in good condition and you are still running."

"Doctor Zhu Jin said that she could treat me and asked me to go to the hospital for treatment." Mother Ye waved her hand and took Ye Banxia's hand into the house. "Doctor Zhu Jin is so nice. Whoever could marry her would be blessed. She is beautiful, gentle and polite. So many people came to see her today. She asked questions without getting annoyed and even treated their illnesses..." Mother Ye couldn't help chattering.

Ye Banxia supported her carefully, listened to her words with deep eyes, and remained silent.

He knows how outstanding and wonderful Zhu Jin is better than anyone else.

“…That Doctor Chonglou, I think he’s quite good on TV, so capable, young and handsome, and he’s a good match for Doctor Zhu Jin…” Mother Ye didn’t notice Ye Banxia’s silence, or maybe she was used to his silence, and continued to speak on her own.

Ye Banxia's hand that was pouring water suddenly stiffened, because the excitement that he had been unable to calm down because Zhu Jin came to see him instantly cooled down.

Zhu Jin came to find him. It was a rare occasion for her to look for someone, but she found him. He was unbelievable and inevitably excited. He was so excited that he couldn't help himself. But even though Zhu Jin came to find him, his mother, neighbors, and everyone else envied his familiarity with Zhu Jin, and were discussing it heatedly. However, in their discussion, he and Zhu Jin had no other identity except friends.

They wouldn't even joke or think about whether Zhu Jin was his lover. Even though he was the object of everyone's praise every day, even though he was the most outstanding representative in his circle, when he was in front of Zhu Jin, all possibilities were gone.

No matter how hard he tried, no matter how much of a transformation he accomplished, even if he used all means necessary, in the end, in everyone's eyes, there was still no possibility for him to stand by her side.

He didn't go to see Zhu Jin after he was released from prison, because of this...

Ye Banxia carried her mother on her back. Her mother didn't notice Ye Banxia's expression. She said a few words and then started to talk again, "You are not young anymore. It's time to find someone... Look how cute the little girl is. I am still young and can hug my grandchildren... Since you know Dr. Zhu Jin, you can also take a look at her friends. Her friends must be good..."

Times change with each passing day, but what remains unchanged is the mother’s simplest wish.

"Mom..." Ye Banxia turned around and shouted helplessly. He didn't want to hear these words again, and he didn't want to hear anything about Zhu Jin's friends.

"I understand... I won't say anything more." Mother Ye shut up awkwardly, looking depressed. Now because her son was successful, she lived a good life that she had never dared to imagine before. Moreover, because her son was filial, he seldom refuted her words. However, if Ye Banxia opened his mouth, she would shut up.

She didn't understand her son's affairs and didn't want to make trouble, but sometimes she really felt helpless.

Ye Banxia changed the subject, "Zhu Jin said that the flowers and herbs I brought back are rare medicines, and asked me to help look for them. Mom, you have taken care of me so hard, and now they can finally be used..."

"That's great. Go look for them when you have time. You're familiar with the people at the Botanical Museum..." Mother Ye's attention was indeed diverted.

Ye Banxia responded, but his mind was filled with the Zhu Jin he saw today. Compared to her in prison, she was now so dazzling that she once again attracted all the people on the Blue Water Star. However, he couldn't help but think of the Zhu Jin in prison, the Zhu Jin who had no Chonglou and no other men by her side, and who had more of him in her eyes...

Ye Banxia shook her head violently, shaking out the weird thoughts in her mind...

Zhu Jin's rest day passed quickly, and the endless patients she saw once again became the focus of her life. Her life seemed to remain unchanged, yet it was changing quietly without her noticing, such as everyone's tacit acceptance of her relationship with Chonglou.

With that hug in front of the whole world, everyone confirmed her relationship with Chonglou. Not to mention the good-natured jokes and glances in the hospital, Chonglou's increasingly bright and even silly smile... Sumu and Helian Lan called her one after another, asking her to take Chonglou back with her, wanting to ask about their plans, whether to get engaged or get married directly...

Listening to the joyful voices of Su Mu and Helian Lan, who hung up the phone happily without listening to her explanation, Zhu Jin did not say a word of defense in the end. She could not help but stare at the phone screen in a daze.

Because no matter how you say it, it's not right. We are not the relationship you think. It sounds hypocritical, but they are not ready to get married...

"Zhu Jin, Her Majesty the Queen wants me to go to the palace. She said she wants to have a good chat with us..." Chonglou rushed in with a smug smile. Seeing Zhu Jin's expression, he raised an eyebrow, "Did you get a call too?"

"Yeah." Zhu Jin nodded and smiled.

Chonglou's smile faded a little. He walked closer to Zhu Jin and looked at her expression carefully. He was silent for a while, and when Zhu Jin's smile was about to fall, he asked in a low voice, "What are you afraid of, Zhu Jin?"

"What am I afraid of..." Zhu Jin repeated blankly, not knowing how to answer for a moment. She was afraid of many things, but couldn't express them clearly.

She didn't want to miss Chonglou, but her experience in her previous life made her more cautious and she had more concerns. She didn't want to let Chonglou down and herself down, but she didn't want to end up separating...

"Because of the dream you talked about last time? Because of the man in your dream?" Chonglou stared at Zhu Jin's eyes, "Zhu Jin, do you know that there is sometimes fear in the way you look at me? Are you afraid that I will become the man in your dream?"

Zhu Jin looked away almost instantly, her eyes falling on Chonglou's clenched fist. Her eyes flickered and she quickly raised her head to deny, "No, I didn't..."

She really never thought that Chonglou would become the second Shanglu, which would be an insult to Chonglou.

But it is undeniable that her past life experiences had a great impact on her. The influence of those 100 years will follow her throughout her life, no matter how she changes...

Chonglou looked at Zhu Jin's panicked expression and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue with difficulty. He didn't want to force Zhu Jin, so he could be patient and wait for Zhu Jin's confirmation.

Chonglou took a deep breath and smiled again. He stood up straight and adjusted his hair. "That's good. If you dare to think that I'm so vulgar, I'll be angry. I'm going to prepare to meet Her Majesty the Queen. They have always liked me. Now I have to behave better and win over Her Majesty the Queen so that they can become my helpers."

The smile on Chonglou's face disappeared the moment he turned around.

He and Zhu Jin had a better understanding and were more familiar with each other. He even tried his best to slowly make Zhu Jin get used to his closeness. He was her closest person, the one who would make her smile whenever she saw him. He was the most unique existence to her. Everything seemed to be fine, but there was always that little feeling missing.

It can't be seen, touched or described, but it has always stood between him and Zhu Jin, making it difficult for them to move forward.

He didn't know where the problem was. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find it.

Zhu Jin lost all his strength as he looked at the closing door, and it took him a long time to sit back in his seat.

There was no aftereffect of drinking Meng Po soup.

After get off work, Zhu Jin and Chonglou returned to the palace.

As soon as they met, Zhu Jin discovered that Sumu Helian Lan's eyes towards Chonglou had completely changed. The mother-in-law was becoming more and more satisfied with her son-in-law, which was fully reflected in Helian Lan, who was not affected by the domineering title of queen at all.

As soon as they sat down, Sumu, Helian Lan and Chonglou chatted enthusiastically like a family of three, not forgetting to imagine the future. Zhu Jin and Helian Zhen and Shang Lu, whom they hadn't seen for some time, sat in silence.

Helian Zhen had become very thin, and the resemblance to Helian Nan on her body had disappeared. Only her eyes were visible on her face. Since Zhu Jin and Chonglou came in, her gaze became unusual.

That look, filled with so many emotions, was just like her.

"Zhenzhen." Shang Lu called out Helian Zhen as a warning, glanced at Zhu Jin, lowered his eyes, and said nothing.

Zhu Jin glanced at Shang Lu and slowly looked away. Helian Zhen had lost weight, and he was almost the same, having lost a lot of weight. Zhu Jin watched the corners of his mouth slowly rise. With just one glance, she could tell that they were torturing each other.

They tortured each other, but no one was willing to let go.

People in the world are so strange, and obviously Shang Lu and Helian Zhen are among them.

Helian Zhen looked at the smile on Zhu Jin's lips, his pupils shrank slightly, he looked at Chonglou who was chatting happily with his parents, and then looked at Shanglu beside him, his eyes were dark and unclear.

"Sister, how does it feel to be a princess again? It feels familiar and long-lost, right?" Helian Zhen took a sip of water and spoke in a gentle voice.

"..." Zhu Jin frowned. What was he crazy about again?

"It seems like I've returned to the old days. I can see your news every day..." Helian Zhen smiled, "I got the title of princess for nothing. Nothing is better than you, the invisible princess..."

“…What exactly do you want to say?” Zhu Jin was silent for a moment and then asked directly.

“…I want to say, sister, why don’t you just be a princess again?” Helian Zhen narrowed her eyes, her voice became lower and lower, her eyes fixed on Zhu Jin, like a ferocious animal ready to pounce.

"Heh..." Zhu Jin couldn't help laughing, raised her eyebrows, drank a few sips of water leisurely, and replied nonchalantly, "Okay, it's done anyway. When your position as princess is taken away from you, let me know, and I will find time to come back and accept the position of princess.

"You can still be a doctor after becoming a princess. It won't affect anything. Maybe more people will come to see you for treatment." Zhu Jin said seriously while thinking, seemingly not noticing that Helian Zhen's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot.

This kind of temptation is what she hates the most, and the best way to avoid temptation is to give her the answer she least wants to hear.

Shang Lu suddenly looked up at Zhu Jin, but only saw her nonchalant look and had no idea what she was thinking.

Helian Zhen's face turned red and white, but she couldn't say anything. She sat there stiffly and stared at Zhu Jin. However, Zhu Jin acted as if she didn't exist. He listened to Chonglou and the others talking, and occasionally smiled and interjected a few words.

"I'll go out for a while." Helian Zhen couldn't sit still for a while, so he got up and walked out.

Zhu Jin glanced at her back casually and couldn't help but frowning slightly. Shang Lu couldn't get a word in, and faced Zhu Jin without saying a word. After a moment, he also stood up and left.

They didn't come back until dinner time. Zhu Jin watched Helian Zhen approach, and after Helian Zhen sat down, she looked at her eyebrows. Her eyelids twitched, and she looked at Shang Lu strangely, with a curled corner of her mouth, her expression couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or something else.

Shang Lu's heart skipped a beat.
