"The reason why Beilie was destroyed so quickly was partly due to Your Highness's selfish feelings for the Queen Consort back then."
"If this time, Tuoba Ze, in a fit of anger, blames the Princess Consort for Tuoba Hong's death again, wouldn't the Princess Consort be like a lamb entering a tiger's den?"
"Although these two brothers seem to be at odds on the surface, they are still brothers born of the same mother, connected by blood. That Tuoba Ze is truly ruthless..."
Cheng Liang continued to speculate intermittently, seemingly afraid to think any further.
Upon hearing Cheng Liang's words, Xuan Yuanhan's heart clenched with worry.
But he still tried to suppress the panic in his heart and said, "No, many of these things are just our own unfounded speculations. We still don't know where Yun'er went after leaving the palace, so let's not panic."
Cheng Liang remained fearful: "But what if Her Highness really went to the grasslands alone and encountered Tuoba Ze?"
After pondering for a while, Xuanyuan Han said, "Let our people on the grasslands investigate first, and then we'll make further plans!"
"Yes! I will arrange it immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Liang hurriedly retreated.
The room was silent.
The slowly flowing longing is gradually devouring Xuan Yuanhan, inch by inch...
"Yun'er, you came back to take that bracelet yourself, didn't you?"
"I was foolish enough not to recognize those eyes."
"But why do I have this vague feeling that you that night were not the same as before?"
"What exactly happened after Lu County? Why won't you tell me?"
"Thank God, you're still alive!"
"You meticulously plotted against Yi Shangkun; what was the purpose of all this?"
"Yun'er, I miss you so much!"
Where are you?
For a moment, an extremely low mood seemed to be swallowing him up, and even breathing became difficult.
But they don't know how to vent or who to confide in.
So he slowly moved forward and unknowingly arrived at the Zihe Pavilion, where Consort Chun, who was still entangled in her sickbed, was.
Already heartbroken and filled with remorse over Yi Shangyun's passing, Xuan Yuanhan, disregarding his own objections, once again stubbornly accepted the Empress Dowager's arranged marriage during the mourning period.
Even though she knew he had his own compelling reasons and that he didn't really want to take a woman like Lu Tianjiao as his concubine, Consort Chun still found it hard to accept it.
Thinking about how she had fought with the Empress Dowager her whole life, and how she was still herself and the Empress Dowager was still the same Empress Dowager, I felt a mix of emotions.
"In my life, I have never thought of making enemies. I only wanted to find a place to settle down and live a peaceful life. Who would have thought that I would end up like this?"
“At first I thought, since that position is already yours, it is yours, so why are you still so aggressive towards us, mother and son!”
"You actually dared to switch the prince with a cat, daring to confuse the royal bloodline. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"I originally thought that in this fleeting life, my son would be my greatest pride. As long as he was happy, that was more important than anything else. But I never expected that he would have to sacrifice himself like this to bring down that old hag."
"Although she is a descendant of the guardians and cannot be matched with my son, this is exactly what I wished for. But deep down, I can't bear to see them, who clearly love each other, separated by death..."
"Which is more important, the well-being of all people or the happiness of one's son?"
"Without its guardian, what will happen to Western Qin next?"
Just as Consort Chun was at her wits' end, sighing to herself and talking to herself, she suddenly saw Xuan Yuanhan walking slowly toward her.
Consort Chun quickly composed herself and wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief.
She then glanced at him casually and asked, "It's nap time right now, what brings you here?"
"Mother...your son..."
Seeing that Xuanyuan Han had never hesitated like this before, Consort Chun suddenly became worried and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
After hesitating for a while, Xuan Yuanhan swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue, and finally said simply, "Nothing! Your son just came to see if Mother Consort is feeling any better these days?"
Seeing this, Consort Chun became angry again and said, "Don't worry, this old body won't die of anger or fall apart anytime soon."
Xuanyuan Han knew perfectly well what Consort Chun was angry about at that moment.
But many things, in the grand scheme of things, are still not settled.
Perhaps at this moment, the less she knows, the safer she is.
After a moment of silence, Xuan Yuanhan spoke again: "In half a month, Lu Tianjiao will be brought into the palace, where the Empress Dowager will personally select a tutor to teach her, in preparation for sending her to the Prince's residence."
Upon hearing this, Consort Chun firmly replied, "In my heart, from beginning to end, only Yun'er is the one and only Princess Consort of Qin. I will not pay any attention to any other Tom, Dick, or Harry."
Xuanyuan Han seemed quite helpless about this, and it was clear that the mother and son could no longer continue their conversation.
Xuanyuan Han then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I just remembered that there are still some important matters to attend to. Please take good care of yourself, Mother. I will visit you another day."
Watching Xuan Yuanhan's dejected figure depart, Consort Chun said with deep heartache, "My son, you've really suffered!"
On the grasslands, the brief summer passes in the blink of an eye.
The scenery in early autumn is still beautiful.
Distant mountains, green grass, unnamed wildflowers, herds of cattle and sheep, or scattered like stars, adorn the landscape, and the setting sun pierces through the clouds, creating a scene resembling a giant natural painting.
After much effort and coordination from all sides, Yi Shangyun's medical clinic is now almost ready.
Right now, the only thing she lacks is a medical practice permit issued by the local government.
This medical license is a qualification certificate that any doctor who wants to practice medicine in the local area must possess.
In order to obtain this medical license, in addition to the indispensable superb medical skills, one must also have a local recommender of considerable standing, and the recommender must be male.
At this moment, facing this regulation, Yi Shangyun looked worried and distressed, as if she really had no other choice.
The women she had treated, who were also the only ones who had stayed by her side throughout this time, gathered together in her clinic.
You say one thing, I say another, and we keep chattering away.
"Isn't your family very rich? Don't you have any way to help the girl buy some kind of broken token?"
“My family is very rich, we can buy as many as we want without any problem, but a girl is a girl, and they have made it clear that only men can practice medicine, what can I do?”
"Isn't your husband quite familiar with the high-ranking official in the government office? Why don't you have him get the girl a male identity so she can dress as a man? Wouldn't that solve the problem?"
"What's the use of knowing the magistrate? On the day the medical license is issued, people will come to put their fingerprints to confirm their identity. It's easy to tell the difference between a man's and a woman's fingerprints at a glance. How can you fool people? If you're found to have forged documents, you'll be beheaded."
"Why say so much? If you're incompetent, you're incompetent. All you do is brag and talk big. I bet you don't even know that big shot."
"What did you say? Say it again! Who are you calling bragging? Who are you calling incompetent?"
"I'm talking about you, I'm talking about you, do I need to pick a day to talk about you?"
"You fat woman, I've disliked you for a long time. Say it again if you dare."
"I'll say it one more time, so what..."
"Smack!"
Suddenly, from some unknown direction in the air, a heavy slap came down.
"You dare hit me!"
"I'll hit you, what can you do about it?"
"I...I..."
Immediately afterwards, a group of women started fighting.
No one knew who had hit them or who they had hit back, and chaos erupted instantly.
Seeing this, Yi Shangyun, who was tightly covering her ears, quickly stepped forward and reached out to stop her.
"Stop fighting, please stop fighting."
"Stop! Stop it now!"
Before he could say two words, he was suddenly pushed to the ground by the huge group of women.
In an instant, she cried out in pain, "Ah..."
A sharp pain in her abdomen struck her.
She still clutched her stomach tightly, trying to stand up again, but she couldn't.
So he could only lie in the corner, leaning against the medicine cabinet, his voice growing lower and lower as he struggled to call out.
"Stop hitting!"
Stop
"Stop right now!"
"Stop hitting him."
...
Just then, Pearl walked in.
The once neat and clean medical building was now a mess.
What's happening now is a group of women beating each other.
They pulled and yanked, grabbed hair, choked necks, twisted waists, punched or kicked, and some even bit people directly.
Anything is possible, anything is possible...
A deafening cacophony of screams, howls, and curses erupted, leaving everyone stunned by the sight before them.
He paused for a moment, and Zhu'er quickly stepped forward to stop him.
What are you doing?
"Stop hitting him."
"Stop right now."
"Stop immediately!"
...
However, her weak voice and feeble attempts to stop them were clearly of no use to the women, who were all angry and strong as oxen.
"what to do?"
"what to do?"
"How did these people end up fighting?"
"Where is the girl?"
"Where has the girl gone?"
Just as Pearl was at a loss and began searching for Yi Shangyun, she suddenly heard Yi Shangyun, who had been squeezed into a corner, make a very faint sound.
"Pearl"
"Pearl"
"I'm here."
"Please help me!"
Upon hearing the sound, Zhu'er quickly looked in the direction from which it came.
But he was instantly stunned by what he saw...
