Prince Rong's wife, Ning, was a dignified and elegant woman. She came from a scholarly family. Although her family background was not high, the intelligent Queen Mother felt that such a woman would not cause trouble, and Prince Rong also respected Ning very much, so the couple was very loving.

Ning had one son and one daughter. The eldest son, Wei Ye, liked to travel around and live a free and easy life. He did not like being restricted in the palace, so he left home early on to learn skills from a master and had not returned home for four years. The position of the crown prince was like a curse to him, so he pushed it to the second son, Wei Li, without a second thought.

Although Wei Li didn't hate the life in the palace as much as the eldest brother, he didn't want to be bound by the position of the crown prince, especially since he...

But Prince Rong was so angry at the time that he didn't care whether he was willing or not and directly gave him the position of Crown Prince. This made him angry and annoyed, but he had no other choice. Who made this unfortunate child have such an irresponsible elder brother?

Although he accepted the position of the Crown Prince, Wei Li did not restrain his temper at all because of his status as the Crown Prince. He was a living devil in the capital, and he never restrained himself even in front of Prince Rong, the Princess, the Queen Mother, and the Emperor.

Look, what time is it now? This brat hasn't come back yet.

Ning looked outside, then glanced at Prince Rong's face, and quickly winked at her maid. The maid understood what the princess wanted to say, and immediately retreated outside without a word: "Quick, find the prince back quickly, the prince is not very happy today."

Immediately a servant ran out, and his skillful movements and reactions showed that this was not the first time he had dealt with this.

Ning personally brewed a cup of tea for Prince Rong, observed his expression, walked behind him, and gently massaged his shoulders.

"You, when will you change your temper? You can't teach the emperor a lesson. You should be thankful that your head is still on your body. Even if you have done the emperor a favor, you can't be so arrogant. It's better for you to stay out of his business."

"Humph, if I could, I would rather not know about that, but I found out. Can you let me endure it? This brat is getting more and more outrageous!"

Ning was startled and quickly covered his mouth. Prince Rong turned around with his eyes wide open and shouted, "Let go!"

Because her mouth was covered, her speech was unclear, and Ning couldn't help but laugh at her appearance, "You can still laugh?"

Prince Rong pulled her hand down and said, "These years, whenever I think of that incident, I can't sleep at night. I really don't know what this kid is..."

Seeing that Ning's hand was about to reach out again, Prince Rong couldn't help but get angry. He pulled her over and pulled her onto his lap. His broad palm tightly grasped her small hand, preventing her from moving: "This is my home, why don't you let me tell you the truth?"

"Your Highness, be careful that there are ears on the other side of the wall. How dare you yell at that kid? He is the current emperor!"

Prince Rong couldn't help but glared at her: "Your Majesty? What's wrong with the Emperor? The Emperor can make a mistake and refuse to admit it? This kid is really stubborn. For so many years, he refused to admit that he was wrong. Humph, I don't believe he doesn't regret it..."

Ning saw Prince Rong suddenly swearing, and her face darkened: "Prince, you are getting more and more backward. Now I finally know who the second son looks like!"

"Humph, the second one doesn't look like me, who else do you want him to look like?"

Prince Rong's sudden words made Ning's body stiffen. The two seemed to remember something at the same time and shut up at the same time.

"You've been tired all day, you should go and rest first." After a long time, Ning said quietly.

Prince Rong's expression froze and he frowned: "Where's the second brother? Where did he go to play again?"

"This kid is used to appearing and disappearing, just like your eldest son. How can I, a lady living in a deep house, know where he has gone? They are used to being free, so why would they need to report to us? Speaking of which, these parents are really incompetent, what do you think?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but squeeze Prince Rong's shoulder in a reproachful manner.

"So, luckily you still have a daughter, otherwise, I don't know where you would cry."

Prince Rong sighed heavily and looked down at her unhappily.

Mentioning the youngest daughter Wei Tanya, Ning couldn't help but glare at him: "I only have one daughter, but you don't. You have ten sons and daughters in total, right?"

Prince Rong couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He stretched out his finger and scratched the tip of her nose: "Oh, are you jealous?"

Ning glanced at him calmly, pushed his hand away, and stood up: "I don't have the time to do that. If I were to be jealous every day, wouldn't I be drowned in jealousy after so many years?"

When Prince Rong was pushed by her, he knew that this woman's jealousy had exploded. Although she had never complained, she would occasionally show off her temper. He never felt disgusted by these, but instead enjoyed them.

After all, only in this way can she show her loveliness beyond her dignity. "Okay, okay, we've been busy all day today, you must be exhausted, let's go and take a rest!"

Ning slapped his hand away with dissatisfaction and glared at him seriously: "Did you listen to what I said just now? You'd better be more careful with the emperor in the future. If you anger him one day, we will be the second one..."

Ning knew she had said something wrong and shut up in time. Unexpectedly, this brought up the knot in Prince Rong's heart. He looked at her and asked faintly, "What kind of person is he in your eyes?"

Ning glanced at him and whispered in his ear: "What kind of person is he? Do I need to tell you? As his elder brother, don't you know better?"

Then she stopped looking at him and went straight into the inner room. Prince Rong looked at his beloved wife's back and couldn't help but curl his lips in self-mockery: "Yes, if you know it clearly, why bother asking? Isn't this just deceiving yourself?"

That night, Wei Yuchen was forced to sleep very deeply, but Prince Rong Wei Ziheng could not sleep all night.

***

It was just dawn. Ling Yuan was practicing sword in the yard wearing a comfortable and loose training suit. A black shadow suddenly flashed into the battle circle. When he tried to compete with her, Ling Yuan had already seen who the person was. He suddenly put away his sword and looked over with an unhappy face.

"Hei Lao, swords have no eyes, what are you doing? If I hurt you, wouldn't it be tragic?"

"What are you afraid of? I've been collecting herbs and climbing mountains for years, so how could I not get hurt? You little girl are so boring, at least exchange a few moves with me, an old man. It's boring to put away your sword so soon."

Ling Yuan's eyebrows twitched, and she decided not to argue with the old man. She wiped the sweat off her face with a towel, and suddenly smelled a scent of blood. She couldn't help but look at Hei Lao: "Yin'er vomited blood again this morning?"

Hei Lao heard this and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "How do you know?"

Ling Yuan threw the towel into the basin beside her and returned to her room. Before leaving, she said, "I'm going to change my clothes and I'll be right with you."

Hei Lao opened his mouth and was about to say that the child was fine, but she had already entered the room.

Seeing that her concern was genuine, the old man nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that this girl really wants to help. This is good. If Yin'er can be like a normal child, it will be a miracle in medical history."

Because it was Wei Jie's private place, there was no one else except the person who took care of Yin'er, and she was either touching the medicine or getting acupuncture, and from time to time she had to go to the medicine field in the back garden to collect herbs (in this mansion, except for the necessary places where some flowers, plants and trees needed to be planted, the rest of the place was planted with medicinal materials).

For convenience, Ling Yuan wore clothes that were comfortable, simple and elegant.

Fortunately, Wei Jie was well prepared in this regard, so she didn't have to worry too much. Any outfit she picked out would fit her well. Although it was already summer, she still wore dark colors as usual.

When Ling Yuan and Hei Lao arrived at the intensive care unit, Wei Jie had also arrived. Seeing the two of them coming together, his calm eyebrows slightly raised: "You came quite early today."

Ling Yuan also nodded in a very good mood, "That's a must. I came here to treat him, so I can't be lazy, right, Grandpa Hei?"

Hei Que glared at her angrily and said, "Don't call me Grandpa Hei, you are even darker than me!"

"Then why don't you just call me Black Girl?"

"You're already married, and you still have the nerve to call me your daughter? In my opinion, the Black Princess is more suitable for you. Do you want her?"

Now it was Ling Yuan's turn to be unhappy, "You are really asking for trouble. How can anyone be like this? Although I don't care about these, you should at least consider my face, right?"

"Is your ghost mask really poisoned?"

Ling Yuan shrugged bitterly, "Isn't it poisoned? Otherwise, how can a normal person have such skin color?"

"Since you are so powerful, why can't you remove the poison from your body?"

Ling Yuan continued in silence: "Don't you know that there is a saying in our profession, Grandpa Hei? It's called 'a doctor cannot heal himself'. No matter how capable I am, I really can't guarantee it when it comes to my own affairs. Fortunately, my poison has no other symptoms except making me ugly so far!"

It did not harm her. On the contrary, this special physique helped her avoid several major disasters. Compared to her appearance, she cherished her life more.

Naturally, these secrets are not known to outsiders.

Upon hearing this, Hei Lao suddenly became interested, but unfortunately after taking the patient's pulse for a long time, he still couldn't find out what was going on, so he had to give up.

"In my opinion, your ghost face is just right for the title of ghost doctor. Hey? Speaking of this ghost doctor, boy Ming, have you ever thought of inviting this ghost doctor to take a look?"

Wei Jie immediately thought of the short old lady with a strange temper, and frowned: "It's not too late to mention this later."

Hei Lao thought that Ling Yuan was still here, and it was indeed a bit inappropriate for him to mention the ghost doctor in this way, so he stopped talking immediately.

As for Ling Yuan, she was quite satisfied with the title of ghost doctor. On the one hand, the title of ghost doctor really suited her ghost face. On the other hand, she was a ghost doctor, so naturally she would not refuse it.

Therefore, after Hei Que brought this up, she didn't react at all.

Seeing this reaction, Wei Jie couldn't help but look at her a little more, but he remained calm and didn't show any expression.

Ruolan Ruoyu felt a lot more relaxed when she saw the few people getting along so well with each other.

You have to know that their medicine house (another name for the manor) has always been filled with a stuffy atmosphere and dark clouds. Especially when the young master fell ill, it was so depressing that it made people breathless.

But these days, their master's mood seemed to be much better than before, and even Hei Lao no longer sighed. They naturally attributed the credit to the princess.

The fact that Hei Lao is so happy to have her as his assistant is enough to show that the princess's ability is not only recognized by Hei Lao, but also expected by him.

In the past three days, the first thing Hei Lao did when he woke up every day was to report to Du Yin, and then he would go to find Ling Yuan.

In addition to asking about today's arrangements, he would also pay attention to what medicinal materials are needed today. Then, Old General Hei would grind the medicinal materials according to the quantity and hand them to Ling Yuan. The combination of the two was seamless.

When they were together, Hei Lao knew what Ling Yuan needed almost as soon as she glanced at her. Such mutual understanding was enough to show that the two masters had reached a consensus on cooperation in treating Du Yin's illness.

Seeing this, you may find it strange, why can it change so quickly?

In fact, it was not surprising at all. Although there was only three days, Ling Yuan used her miraculous acupuncture skills to wake Du Yin up.

Although his consciousness was still weak, he at least opened his eyes and looked at them.

It's a pity that due to years of poisoning, even if he wakes up, his vision is blurry. In a few months, he will probably be completely unconscious.

Therefore, Ling Yuan's task was very heavy. Not only did she have to detoxify him, but she also had to cure his eyes.

After three days of thorough diagnosis, Ling Yuan has basically mastered a treatment plan. Moreover, she has also thought of a bold attempt, so bold that even Hei Lao couldn't help but frown and wave his hands after hearing it.

But she was unwilling to give up just like that, because if she succeeded, even without those precious medicines, she could cure Du Yin's illness completely.

"Are you leaving?" Ling Yuan frowned when she saw Wei Jie looked like he was going on a long journey.

"Well, I'll be out for a few days. During this time, I'll trouble you and Hei Lao to take care of this place."

Fortunately, the area where he worked was near the capital, not too far away. Wei Jie decided to go out and resolve the issues that needed to be resolved only after seeing that Du Yin's condition had stabilized.

"Oh, that's good."

Ling Yuan had been so absorbed in research with Hei Lao these past few days that she had neglected him. She had not expected that action would be taken so soon. When she thought of him leaving, somehow, Ling Yuan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

After Wei Jie left, not only did no one in the palace pay attention to her, but even here, no one dared to restrain her anymore. Wouldn't she be able to go out for a walk when she had free time? She had been in Siyou country for so long, and she hadn't even had the chance to take a stroll!

However, the tiger in the mountain clearly saw her intention and gave orders in advance before the monkey could jump up and down.

"The capital is not safe recently, so don't run around. Understand?"

Ling Yuan curled her lips, "Could it be that I can't go out for a day until this matter is resolved?"

Wei Jie's expression did not change, and he was still serious: "The more chaotic the capital is, the more you need to keep a clear head. You are not the same as before. You are also involved in me and the entire Fengwang Mansion. Don't think that it looks calm now. Don't think that the emperor has no time to distract here. There are many people here who want to take advantage of me, and many people who want to kill me. Now we are grasshoppers on the same rope. Do you understand?"

Ling Yuan glanced at him coldly: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I have remembered it. May I ask if you can leave now? I am going to give the young master acupuncture!"

Seeing that the two had started their daily quarrel again, Hei Lao quickly stepped out to act as a peacemaker: "Okay, Your Majesty, aren't we going to leave? Let's go, let's go. I have to buy some medicine on the way. How about I take a ride with you today?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Jie frowned again, "Are you sure you're not here to buy some wine? Isn't the wine stored in the mansion enough?"

Hei Lao didn't expect that he would be seen through by him at a glance, but he didn't get angry: "Isn't it hard for the old man to have some free time? It's not too much to want to buy some food, right? Well, the most I can do is promise you that I will be back before dark."

"Aren't you preparing medicine? By the time you come back, the daylily will be cold!"

"Hey, isn't there still the girl Yuan?"

Wei Jie: ...

Why did he suddenly feel that after bringing Ling Yuan back, the biggest beneficiary would not be Yin'er, but this old man?

But despite what he was thinking, he also sympathized with his long hard work, so he nodded and glanced at Ling Yuan who had already started to get busy.

"Do you have anything you want to buy? Write it down and I'll have the old man bring it back to you later."

Ling Yuan turned around in surprise. She didn't expect this guy to have such a change of heart. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while. She actually walked to the desk, wrote a list and handed it to Hei Lao: "Then thank you for your help!"

Unexpectedly, Hei Lao did not take her list, but stretched out his hand. Ling Yuan frowned: "What for?"

"Money, what can you ask me to buy without money? Hurry up and give me the money!"

Ling Yuan's eyes turned and she looked at Wei Jie with a smile: "These things are not for me to use, they should be reimbursable, ok?"

Wei Jie glanced at the list calmly, "Of course."

The two were about to leave when Ling Yuan suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, can you ask Liulichang to see if they can make something specially made for me?"

There is no glass in the Sifang Continent yet, although there is colored glaze, but this thing is equivalent to a work of art and the cost is too high. It seems that if she has time, she still has to go to the branch in the City That Never Sleeps to have a look. Gongzi Yan has so many things from modern times, and these IV bottles should also have them, and the safety factor is higher.

If this world could really make glass, it would be a great deed.

She would have to go and discuss this matter with Gongzi Yan later. It would be even better if they could show a sense of cooperation.

"What do you want to do?" Wei Jie replied, which made Ling Yuan's eyes brighten: "Oh, how could I forget that you are His Majesty the Phoenix King, what can't you do?"

Thinking of this, she suddenly pulled Hei Lao's bamboo basket back and said, "Hey, old man, you can't go out today. I need to go out and buy something. If I don't go, he won't be able to do it. So, you stay and take care of Yin'er today, okay?"

When the old man heard this, he was so scared that his eyes almost fell out: "What the hell are you talking about? You little girl, you dare to snatch the opportunity from me, an old man? No, I don't agree!"

"You have to agree even if you don't want to. Without me, would you have this much free time? Don't worry, when I come back, I'll give you three days off. You can go wherever you want. Is that okay?"

The old man was not so easily fooled. He raised his beard and snorted, "You can fool a child, but I am going down the mountain today. No matter what you say, it won't work."

"You said it's not possible? I'm still not able to do it. I want to go down the mountain. You have to stay here."

"Eh? You little girl, are you being reasonable?"

…

Seeing the two of them standing at the door with their hands on their hips and arguing, Wei Jie frowned again, "If you continue to argue, no one will be allowed to go."

Ling Yuan and Hei Que turned around at the same time: "You said you can't go, so you can't go? Who do you think you are?"

Such unanimous questioning made even the parties involved stunned.

When their eyes met, Ling Yuan looked at the persistence in Hei Que's eyes and was a little confused: "Hei Lao, why are you in such a hurry to go down the mountain?"
