Or Wei Jie's wet nurse?

I haven't heard him mention it before. It turns out that Wei Jie's wet nurse is still alive?

Ling Yuan was stunned for a moment, and was thinking about whether to quote it.

Lan Yu kindly reminded: "The prince will probably agree to this. The nurse is an old lady in the palace. She has been taking care of the prince and is familiar with all the affairs of the palace."

"Five years ago, the prince sent her back to his hometown to spend her remaining years in retirement. She is only in her fifties now. If she is willing to come back and help you, Princess, you will definitely have less worries."

Ling Yuan nodded thoughtfully: "In that case, thank you, Steward Lan. I will bring this matter up with the prince."

"I'll take my leave."

After Lan Yu left, Ling Yuan realized belatedly that not only did she know very little about Wei Jie, she was also completely confused by the social conventions and relationships in the palace.

This won't work. If she can't get into the right state in advance and can't help Wei Jie well, she will definitely be criticized in the future.

When Ling Yuan does something, she always makes the decision to either not do it or produce results.

It seems that she really needs to invite this wet nurse back.

Unexpectedly, before she could go find Wei Jie, he came to her on his own and asked, "Do you want to ask Madam Li to come back?"

Ling Yuan raised her eyebrows, and Wei Jie said, "Lan Yu mentioned it to me. If you need me, can I send someone to invite him?"

"Will it be too much trouble?"

When she gave him her dowry, Meiguo also gave her a few older maids, but she returned them intact.

The reason, of course, was that she didn't trust them. Rather than letting them stay here and make her feel uncomfortable, it would be better not to let them get close to her from the beginning.

Facts have proved that for someone of her status, it is a very correct decision to have a few older people around to guide her.

It was no wonder that girls from wealthy families all had maids around them. Even married girls couldn't do without maids. She was indeed too self-righteous before.

After all, the palace is not a small family. She can be at ease here for a few months, and she is really happy.

Du Yin's poison was only one step away from being effective. She could no longer stay in the medicine garden, and it was time for her to return to being the Phoenix King's wife.

"If it's troublesome, you won't mention it?"

Ling Yuan curled her lips and said, "That's not the case. If that's the case, please ask your people to go. I really need someone who is handy and trustworthy."

And this person must be familiar with the royal family, Siyou Kingdom, Wei Jie, and Fengwang Mansion. It seems that Nanny Li is really the best candidate.

"Yes, it has been arranged. As for Du Yin, when will your surgery be performed?"

"What's up?"

"On August 15th of next month, you and I will both enter the palace. You need to settle Du Yin down before August."

So that's what happened. Ling Yuan nodded, "No problem."

"That's great." After Wei Jie left, Ling Yuan looked at her maid again and said, "This Nanny Li, go check her out. I need her to show up at our Taoran Residence without any problems."

"Don't worry, Princess. I will check it out right away."

Even if it was someone given to her by Wei Jie, she had to confirm it herself before she could feel at ease.

The next morning, Ling Yuan went to the medicine garden. Hei Lao had paralyzed Du Yin's whole body and successfully collected 7,000 milliliters of blood, which was enough for the operation.

After Ling Yuan changed her clothes, she went straight into the operating room. Since it didn't require much effort this time, Hei Lao did not accompany her.

She can also take the opportunity to take out Gongzi Yan's special medicine from the medical space.

After cutting Du Yin's wrist, the blood that dripped out was no longer dark red like the first time. It was a normal blood color. However, if it was tested, it would be found that it contained a trace of toxin.

Originally, this 10% of poison can be excreted by using medicine, but the effect of traditional Chinese medicine is too slow, and it is three-quarters toxic.

Du Yin has basically relied on medicine to maintain his life over the years. It is no exaggeration to say that he is soaked in medicine jars.

Over the years, his body has developed antibodies to many drugs. These drugs are basically ineffective when used on him. This is not a good thing.

If it can be accomplished with less medication, why should we take a method that would cause him pain and make everyone else anxious?

In order to enhance his own immunity, Ling Yuan decided to make a bold attempt this time and draw out all the blood in Du Yin's body and then inject it back in.

Of course, if an ordinary person did this, he would definitely lose too much blood and die.

But Du Yin won’t, because Ling Yuan has a secret weapon.

She had never used the life water in the space before, and this time, she planned to use it on Du Yin.

Therefore, when Du Yin was bleeding, the potion with the water of life also flowed into his body along his pulse, temporarily keeping him alive. After all the blood was drained, she would inject the blood into his body little by little.

This process was very long, and Ling Yuan was not idle either. He drew some blood for testing from time to time and kept checking on Du Yin's condition.

Two hours later, all the procedures were completed. Although Du Yin was still unconscious, judging from her pulse, the situation was better than she had imagined.

In other words, the power of the water of life is truly powerful.

But to be safe and to ensure success in one go, Rongyue still used the divine needle in her palm to test every corner and every cell of his body, and the results showed that it was non-toxic.

The fire poison that had troubled Du Yin for fifteen years was finally successfully eliminated.

"How is it?" As soon as she opened the door of the operating room, Hei Que walked in excitedly to check on Du Yin's condition.

Ling Yuan took off her mask, glanced at Wei Jie who was full of concern, and nodded to him, "Congratulations, the fire poison has been completely eliminated."

"Thank you for your hard work." Although he had expected this, Wei Jie still breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her confirm it in person.

"No, this is what I should do." Then, she turned around and looked at Hei Lao, "Don't move him for three days, don't give him water or food, just give him nutrient solution, and I will make a decision after I observe his condition for three days."

Hei Que had already taken his pulse and knew that all the poison in his body had been eliminated. These three days were probably just to test whether he had any rejection of the blood in his body.

Although this situation did not occur in previous surgeries, this time it was different.

She was so bold that she actually drained all the blood from her body and then injected it back in. How... did she do that?

Hei Que took a deep look at the bucket of blood beside his leg and immediately understood the difficulty of the operation.

Originally, repaying blood with blood was enough to amaze him.

He had just learned from her about human blood types, but she had refreshed his knowledge once again.

How much potential does this Ling Yuan have that has yet to be tapped?

I have to admit that this little girl is truly a medical genius that is rarely seen in the medical field in a century!

He had never dared to even think of such a miraculous treatment method before, but she did it so smoothly and successfully.

Comparing yourself to others will make you feel nauseous, and comparing goods to others will make you throw them away!

Ling Yuan deliberately ignored Hei Que's hungry look seeking for help and withdrew on the grounds of being tired.

It's not that she doesn't want to teach, but this method requires too many external factors.

If there were no medical space and Gongzi Yan's medicine, Du Yin would never have recovered so quickly.

But these things cannot be expressed in words, so Ling Yuan can only pretend to be selfish and refuse to tell.

Three days later, Du Yin was examined and confirmed that all toxins in his body had been eliminated and his blood had adapted well, so he was finally moved out of the operating room and given food.

Ten days later, Ling Yuan stopped the postoperative auxiliary drugs. Du Yin officially bid farewell to the days of taking medicine every day and tried to be a healthy and normal person.

In order to help Du Yin return to normal, Wei Jie arranged a series of rehabilitation training courses for Du Yin, and Hei Que followed up the whole process.

Ling Yuan retired after accomplishing his mission and officially left the medicine garden.

Time flies and it is August. Ling Yuan starts to prepare for the palace banquet for the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th and officially enters the state of Princess Feng.

On August 2, Wei Jie's wet nurse, Li Ma, was invited into Prince Feng's Mansion.

Madam Li, who is already 56 years old this year, is not as short and thin as ordinary old people. She is 1.7 meters tall. Even though she is old, her back is still very straight. She is slightly plump, with fair skin and a broad face, and looks very kind.

But according to Ling Yuan's investigation, this Nanny Li has a bold and fierce style of doing things, and is even more efficient and aggressive. She is the younger sister of the late Nanny Li, who was the most trusted by Empress Dowager Wen.

It was precisely because of this relationship that Wei Jie was able to survive several times after Concubine Lan was murdered.

It can be said that Wei Jie was able to grow up safely thanks to Empress Dowager Wen.

This is also the reason why Wei Jie brought Ling Yuan to Prince Rong’s house without saying a word after he was poisoned.

Although Wei Jie was cold-hearted, it did not mean that he was ungrateful. On the contrary, he was a very grateful person.

Back then, Nanny Li followed Wei Jie out of the palace and lived in Prince Feng's Mansion. With Wei Jie's ability, she would never have to worry about food and drink in her life.

But this Nanny Li was not a person who coveted wealth and fame. She also had a family, her own son and daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. Moreover, when she saw that Wei Jie was growing stronger and no longer afraid of the emperor's persecution, she took the initiative to propose to go home and spend her remaining years in peace.

Over the past five years, Wei Jie had sent her generous festival and New Year gifts every year, and these gifts were enough to ensure the old lady and her family had enough food and drink.

I didn't intend to disturb her anymore, but Ling Yuan was still young after all. Although the rules of the Phoenix Palace were much simpler than those of other palaces and the staff was simple, the complexity lay in the network of relationships in the Phoenix Palace. Ling Yuan was a newcomer and it was inevitable that she would be inconsiderate at times.

If Nanny Li had given him some advice, Wei Jie would have no worries.

Therefore, Wei Jie was particularly grateful that Nanny Li agreed to come back, and the couple personally welcomed Nanny Li to the main hall.

"Mammy, are you safe on your journey?"

Wei Jie personally stepped forward to support Nanny Li and helped her to the right seat, but she refused. She even ignored Wei Jie's obstruction and insisted on bowing to the couple.

How could Ling Yuan accept this gift? She immediately returned it, and kept saying, "Mammy is the prince's wet nurse, who saved his life, and is also an elder whom the prince respects very much. How can we, as juniors, afford such a gift?"

"Madam, please get up quickly. This is unacceptable. If you do this, the prince and I will be unable to sleep or eat."

Nanny Li was not a pretentious person. Since both parties had been so polite to each other, she naturally stopped insisting.

The ceremony was not carried out, and the main seat would not be sat down. If she did not sit down, Wei Jie and Ling Yuan would certainly not sit down either.

The three of them sat around the round table, and Ling Yuan personally poured tea for Nanny Li and served her snacks.

Realizing that the old lady was looking at her, Ling Yuan stood up confidently, turned around, and smiled apologetically at the old lady.

"Madame Li, I'm so sorry. If Ling Yuan wasn't useless, I wouldn't have asked you to come all the way here to help me. You've even been unable to reunite with your family."

Before she finished her self-blaming words, Nanny Li raised her hand to interrupt her, "Princess, please don't be so distant. I have nothing to do at home. My children and grandchildren are all grown up. Why do they need an old woman like me? I have had enough of these five years."

"While I am still able to move, if I can help the prince and princess with some of the things within my ability, it would be my honor. The princess and the prince must not tell the truth to me."

Then, she took Ling Yuan's hand and pushed her to the seat next to her, stroking her cheek thoughtfully.

"The princess's skin color doesn't look normal, but do you know why?"

Ling Yuan looked at Madam Li in surprise, "Madam, you can actually tell that this is not a normal skin color?"

Over the years, few people have been able to point out to her face that there is something wrong with her skin color. Even if they knew, they never showed concern but instead just wanted to laugh at her.

Apart from Nanny Li’s family and friends, no one else could express concern as naturally as she did.

"How can a normal person's skin color be as dark as yours? Even if I had to imagine it, it's obvious that it's abnormal."

Ling Yuan was slightly stunned, then she pulled her lips bitterly, "But they have never been as concerned as you are. All of them, besides mocking, are contemptuous, and most of them are disgusted. I'm used to seeing such looks, and I'm used to them. I didn't expect you, Madam,"

Nanny Li was slightly stunned. She probably didn't expect that her concern would inadvertently touch someone's pain.

Ling Yuan was so moved, especially seeing her expression, her heart couldn't help but be moved. She touched her hair and said softly.

"The mouth is on other people's faces, how can we control it? Let them speak as they please."

"Although the princess is young, you can tell at a glance that you are a considerate person. They don't know how good you are, but that's because they don't have the blessing. When the nanny came, she saw that you were kind, but what's wrong with your face?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Wei Jie who was standing beside him. Wei Jie's cold lips curved, and a fleeting glimmer of pity flashed across his eyes: "Poisoned!"

Nanny Li's face changed slightly. She had heard about the deeds of the Princess Feng a long time ago. She immediately looked at Ling Yuan with surprise.

"Even the princess herself can't figure it out?"

It can be solved, but I can't solve it now.

But for an outsider, these are probably hard to explain clearly, so he simply shook his head and said, "It can't be explained for the time being."

"You have been poisoned for many years? Will it have any effect on your body? You and the prince, you..."

Before the old lady finished her words, Wei Jie's mouth twitched and he hurriedly pulled the old lady up.

"Madam, you must be tired after the journey. Why don't you go to Xuanyuan Pavilion to rest first? It's already been packed up there, you can stay there from now on."

"That's your place, Your Majesty. What's the point of me living there? No, no."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Ling Yuan, "My Lady Princess, do you have any room left in your Taoran Residence? If not, can you make room for me?"

Ling Yuan was slightly stunned, but soon stood up, flattered, "Yes, yes, I'm just afraid of wronging Madam."

"Why would you feel wronged? Being able to live in the palace is already a great blessing. How can you feel wronged?"

As he spoke, he did not forget to hold the hands of the two and looked at them earnestly.

"Since the prince and princess have recognized me, I hope you will not be so nice and polite to me in the future. This is inappropriate."

"Even if I am the prince's wet nurse, I am still just a slave. Once a slave, I am a slave for life. The prince and princess look up to me. That is my blessing, but not my privilege."

"What do the prince and princess think?"

Ling Yuan and Wei Jie looked at each other and nodded cautiously. Nanny Li patted their shoulders with satisfaction.

"It seems that the couple has a good relationship. This makes me feel relieved."

"In that case, please stay here and rest for a while. I will prepare some food for you."

When the time came, Ling Yuan tactfully withdrew. Nanny Li was polite to her only out of consideration for Wei Jie's sake. After not seeing each other for five years, the two must have a lot of personal matters to talk about. It would be inappropriate for her to stay any longer.

Sure enough, as soon as Ling Yuan left, Nanny Li immediately put away the smile on her face, and with a serious look on her face, she pulled Wei Jie behind her to sit down.

"My Lord, what kind of poison did the princess get? Can it be cured? Will it affect her health in the future? You are not young anymore, and the princess is only eleven years old. What if it affects your future offspring?"

Just now she wanted to ask clearly, but this dead kid stopped her from asking further. Now she could only look at him expectantly.

Wei Jie rubbed his brows helplessly, "Nurse, she is still young this year, it is too early to talk about offspring now. Besides, with her medical skills, how could she not be able to cure her own poison? It's just a matter of time."

"Then didn't you just marry a concubine? Since the principal wife is young, you can have a concubine first. At most, you can let the little princess take care of the baby after it's born. You can't let her live with you for four or five years, right?"

"Nanny, don't worry about this."

"How can I not worry? I watched you grow up. I am useless and failed to take good care of Lady Lan..."

When this topic was brought up, Wei Jie was completely speechless. Apparently, this was not the first time this topic had been mentioned.

"Nanny, now is not the time to talk about this. Can you bring it up later?"

Li Ma was startled, then she remembered something and slapped her forehead, "Yes, you are right, now is not the time to think about this. Is the 'Du Zi Demanding Life' true?"

Wei Jie hummed, "It's true. Si You won't be able to calm down until this matter is resolved."

Nanny Li wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she had to swallow them back.

It is true that they are as close as mother and son, but she is a servant after all, and as a servant, it is not her right to talk about her master, or even the emperor.

She moved her lips and finally sighed, "Okay, I understand. I won't say any more in the future. But please think about yourself, Your Majesty. This way, your mother's spirit in heaven will surely rest in peace."

With the help and guidance of Nanny Li, Ling Yuan found it much easier to deal with the situation.

In just a few days, he had fully identified all the people in the palace, and also analyzed the relationship network of the Fengwang Palace.

She was forced to remember thoroughly which ones had close personal relationships with the palace, which ones had deteriorating relations with the palace, which ones were the opposition, and even the women in these people's houses.

The factions in the court had nothing to do with a woman like her, but Nanny Li was strict, and she would have to establish relationships with the women of these people in the future. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and digest the news again.

She had learned some palace etiquette before getting married, but Nanny Li was worried and insisted on reviewing all the etiquette for her. She also re-selected her headwear and clothes from head to toe.

"My Lady Princess, you can't do this. Look, look at your closet. Why are all the clothes in it black? Black! How can you, a Princess of the First Rank Phoenix, wear a black dress?"
