Her child is less than a year old, how could she possibly take medication casually?
"I know, but how could such a coincidence happen?"
"Unless, the medication they are taking is completely harmless to their bodies."
But she didn't know anything about such drugs.
"Your Highness, do you remember the medicine I used last time?"
The prince frowned. "You mean you were scratched by the little tiger last time?"
Mengyao really didn't want to talk about this, but she had to bring it up: "The medicine was obtained from the Zhou family back then."
She believed that with the Crown Prince's intelligence, he should be able to understand what she meant by saying this.
"You mean... the Zhou family has a very skilled doctor?"
Even more skilled than the imperial physicians in the palace?
"Mengyao, it turns out you and Lingxiu are good friends too. Go find the imperial physician now and go visit her!"
The crown prince trusted the words of the imperial physicians more than the words of the doctors.
"Your Highness, the Emperor requests your presence in the palace."
Before the Crown Prince could finish giving his instructions, news arrived from the palace. He frowned in annoyance and said coldly, "I'll be there in a moment!"
...
"I didn't expect to be able to go home before the New Year. Have you decided how to tell my dad?"
Han Luoxue and Han Yuchen still rushed back to Hutouya Village.
As they approached the village, the two of them became extremely nervous.
Han Luoxue hasn't been back for half a year. She doesn't know how her parents are doing now, or if her little brother still recognizes her.
Han Yuchen was only worried about the soles of his father-in-law's shoes.
It's no surprise that he got beaten up after taking someone else's daughter on a long trip.
However, when they arrived in town, they found it much more lively than before. There were shops selling things on the streets.
The two didn't linger and headed straight for Hutouya Village.
"Dr. Xu, is this the kind of insect you're talking about?"
In Hutouya Village, Han Qiang held a dark object in his hand and asked anxiously.
"Yes, this stuff is extremely good for bone growth. Where did you find it?"
"It's up in the mountains, near that pine forest. I'll go over there and look for some more."
Han Qiang handed the dozen or so animals he had just caught to Doctor Xu.
Doctor Xu took the bamboo tube and instructed, "Be careful too, there are tigers on the mountain."
Although tigers haven't been harming people lately, who can say for sure? They might suddenly erupt at any time.
"I know, I know what I'm doing!" Han Qiang was especially happy to be able to help Han Mingyuan. It was her mistake; Han Luoxue had been so good to her, and she didn't know how to explain it to Han Luoxue.
"Don't be too upset, this has nothing to do with you in the first place."
After thinking for a moment, Doctor Xu offered some words of comfort.
"Oh dear, Third Brother, are you alright?"
A loud, exaggerated cry rang out, and Han Jinghua stumbled over.
Some villagers peeked out, but when they saw Han Jinghua arriving with her family, many of them quickly withdrew.
Han Jinghua is even more formidable now than before.
I heard they separated from the Lu family and are now living separately.
Regardless of the cold remarks from the people here, she still managed to grit her teeth and come over. Unfortunately, Han Mingyuan was so annoyed that he only gave her some seeds.
Now that she'd finally agreed, she shamelessly kept coming closer. Many in the village despised Han Jinghua's actions, but so what?
She got the seedlings and, after arriving, she didn't stand on ceremony, helping Han Mingyuan's family with all sorts of chores. Gradually, Han Mingyuan stopped being so cold and sarcastic towards her.
Some time ago, she even suggested settling down in Hutouya Village. However, Han Mingyuan didn't agree, so she went to Han Qiang with her belongings. Han Qiang made it very clear at the time that if Han Mingyuan agreed, he had no objections.
So, when they heard that Han Mingyuan was injured, his whole family of five rushed over.
"Third Brother, how did you get hurt?" Han Jinghua cried, her eyes red and her voice choked with sobs. Anyone who didn't know better would think that her parents had just died.
"Jinghua, your third brother just fell asleep not long ago, so keep your voice down."
Yunniang's voice has become hoarse from crying these past two days, and her eyes are red; it's clear she's been crying non-stop.
"I... I'm just worried about my third brother. Why is he so unlucky? He was so badly injured last time, and now..."
"He'll be alright. Xue'er will definitely have a solution when she gets back."
Yunniang said firmly.
"I know Xue'er has a way, but when will she be back? Third Sister-in-law, has she said anything?"
Han Jinghua blinked, her face full of concern.
"No, but it's almost Chinese New Year, they should be coming back soon!"
Yunniang said nonchalantly, though she herself wasn't sure. However, Han Jinghua's eyes lit up when she heard this. Han Luoxue was a very family-oriented person; she had always been so good to her family when she was at home.
She'll definitely come back for the New Year. No matter what happens outside, Xue'er will definitely rush back. In that case…
Han Jinghua's eyes darted around. She still wanted to live a good life by relying on Han Luoxue. Although this news was not very certain, it should still be useful.
"Xue'er will definitely come back. If she knew that Third Brother was in trouble, wouldn't she come back immediately? Third Sister-in-law, Xue'er is so filial. With such a big thing happening in the family, why didn't you tell her to come back?"
"Sigh, you know that the last time Xueya left, wasn't it because of the Crown Prince? No mother wants anything to happen to her child. If she could come back, she would have done so on her own."
Speaking of the Crown Prince, Han Jinghua was so envious she wanted to curse. She wondered what the Crown Prince saw in Xue'er; wasn't she just a wild country girl? How could she have caught the Crown Prince's eye?
Unfortunately, her child is still young. If the Crown Prince had taken a liking to her daughter, she would have already washed the child and sent her to the Crown Prince's bed.
Let alone becoming a concubine, even if they were just a maidservant, if the Crown Prince were to casually reveal something about them, their family would rise to prominence.
Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law are such blockheads. They don't even realize that if they could really get close to the Crown Prince, their relatives would also benefit greatly.
"I think the Crown Prince is quite good!"
Han Jinghua said weakly.
"What's so good about it? Xue'er is already married, and she still comes out to steal her lover. Is that something a normal person would do?"
Yunniang rolled her eyes helplessly. Han Jinghua had mental problems and couldn't speak clearly to her.
"Well, Third Sister-in-law, what kind of person is the Crown Prince? He can have any kind of woman he wants. To put it bluntly, it's our family's good fortune that our Xue girl has caught his eye."
"You can have this good fortune."
Yunniang was already in a bad mood, and hearing this made her even more upset.
What brings you here today?
Han Jinghua is the kind of person who won't do anything without a benefit. She wouldn't do anything that doesn't bring her any advantage. Having known her for so long, Yunniang understands her character very well.
"What exactly happened to my third brother? How did he get injured?"
