“This Zhou Renjun is indeed a good official,” Ji Minxiu agreed.
“Yes, my godfather is indeed a very good person.” Yun Zhourong nodded in agreement.
When they met Zhou Renjun and learned that their marriage was settled, the couple were overjoyed.
"That's great! We'll definitely come to your wedding banquet."
After Zhou Renjun finished speaking, he continued, "By the way, regarding the Crown Prince's treatment plan, His Majesty has replied, saying... he does not support the use of Gu magic for treatment."
"So that's how it is..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhourong and Ji Minxiu exchanged a glance and said with some regret, "In that case, we can't take the risk, otherwise we would be disobeying the imperial decree."
"Yes, it seems that conservative treatment is the only option now," Zhou Renjun sighed as well.
Actually, because Lan Jianhe was a witch doctor, he trusted the other party's medical skills, but since the emperor had spoken against it, there was nothing they could do.
"Conservative treatment? What, didn't the Emperor provide a specific treatment plan?"
Ji Minxiu asked with some doubt, "They didn't send an imperial physician, nor did they say whether they would send the eldest prince back?"
Zhou Renjun was also taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said, "They really didn't say that. This... is not right. The emperor has always been very protective of this eldest son."
Consort Xian was the late Empress's trusted maid, and even after she gave birth to the eldest prince, the two maintained a very good relationship.
After the late empress passed away, the emperor, out of love for her, showed great favor to Consort Xian and also showed special affection for the eldest prince.
Therefore, it's quite strange that this reply shows absolutely no concern or care for the eldest prince.
So Zhou Renjun quickly read the imperial edict again.
Finally, he shook his head and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, and the private seal is also correct."
After reading it, Yun Zhourong said, "If the private seal is also genuine, then it should be real. After all, no one would dare to steal a private seal, right?"
As a result, Zhou Renjun frowned, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Renjun shook his head, "It's hard to say. If it's the eldest princess, then it's a different story."
"The eldest princess?"
Yun Zhourong was taken aback, and asked in confusion, "She can freely enter and leave the Imperial Study? Is she so favored?"
Zhou Renjun nodded, "Yes, she is the prophesied lucky star who will save the Great Sheng Kingdom from its dire straits in the future. She will never do anything that would harm the foundation of the country, and His Majesty trusts her very much."
"If that's the case, the eldest princess and the crown prince are siblings. It's possible that she deliberately tripped up the eldest prince after learning about his situation."
After pondering for a moment, Yun Zhourong said, "Father, I suggest that, to be on the safe side, you should send another secret letter. The eldest princess probably won't guess that you will inquire again. If the current emperor is truly a wise ruler, he should be able to discover the problem."
"Well, thanks to the reminder from the two of you, I'll rewrite the secret letter." Zhou Renjun thought for a moment and immediately went to rewrite it.
Zhou Renjun went to attend to other matters, while Yun Zhourong and Ji Minxiu went to visit Zhou Yueshan, whose condition was improving.
Furthermore, she took very good care of her kitten, which visibly gained a lot of weight and looked completely different from the skinny kitten she had just found.
Upon arriving at Zhou Yueshan's study, I discovered that she had painted many portraits of kittens, and Zhao Xuanheng was also featured in many of her paintings.
There are scenes of him squatting on the ground playing with kittens, picking flowers, sleeping, and eating.
In the images, Zhao Xuanheng is a pure and innocent being, like a hermit, and every scene is filled with sunshine and warmth.
It is easy to imagine how beautiful the people in front of the artist's eyes were.
After falling in love with Ji Minxiu, Yun Zhourong was no longer an innocent young girl. The emotions conveyed in these scenes were so intense that they were hard to ignore.
She couldn't help but turn to look at Ji Minxiu, her eyes filled with complex emotions. "Minxiu, this..."
"Everyone's fate is already set. We don't need to interfere too much. What it will ultimately be like depends on their own choices."
Ji Minxiu knew what Yun Zhourong was thinking.
Zhao Xuanheng is the eldest prince, but he is currently mentally unstable. He can play with Zhou Yueshan, but if he wants to develop feelings for her, it will definitely not work out.
Autism is hereditary, so Zhou Yueshan is destined not to have children. Royal families place the utmost importance on bloodline continuity, which is precisely the biggest obstacle.
Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the two of them will be together.
"I just don't want An'an to get hurt," Yun Zhourong said with some concern.
"You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish? I know you are the kindest, but whether this relationship will bring good or bad results for An'an is for her to decide. It's best for us outsiders not to interfere too much."
Ji Minxiu reached out and held Yun Zhourong's hand to comfort her, "Everyone has their own cause and effect. Isn't it also an inexplicable fate that An'an and the First Prince were able to meet?"
"Indeed..."
Yun Zhourong thought about it and finally felt relieved.
Indeed, under normal circumstances, Zhou Yueshan and Zhao Xuanheng would never even have the chance to meet, let alone develop feelings for each other.
But now, the two of them have met in such a special way. Who can say that this is not a deliberate arrangement by fate?
Just like Ji Minxiu said, everyone has their own cause and effect, and it's really not appropriate for her to interfere too much.
Having come to terms with it, Yun Zhourong stopped worrying about it and played with Zhou Yueshan for a while longer before heading back together.
When the two returned home, they saw Yun Mingyuan coming home from school.
"Brother-in-law!"
Upon seeing Ji Minxiu, Yun Mingyuan's eyes immediately lit up, and he happily stepped forward to greet him.
Before he knew Ji Minxiu's true identity, he had always thought that it would be great if Ji Minxiu could be his brother-in-law.
Now that his dream has come true, he is extremely happy every day, and his eyes are full of admiration and respect when he looks at Ji Minxiu.
"Cough cough cough, Xiao Yuan, what are you shouting for!" Yun Zhourong blushed bright red and glared at Yun Mingyuan in annoyance.
Ji Minxiu, on the other hand, was quite pleased, and agreed with a high smile, saying, "We're already engaged, so calling him brother-in-law is the right thing to do."
"Hehe, that's right, I'm going to call him brother-in-law!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Mingyuan became even more smug, clinging to Ji Minxiu's arm with a proud expression.
"Fine, I can't argue with you."
Yun Zhourong had no choice but to glare at Ji Minxiu before turning her head away with a sweet feeling in her heart.
"Cough up some phlegm and put it in this phlegm cup."
Ji Minxiu shook his head with a chuckle before handing the items to Yun Mingyuan. He then explained to the entire Yun family, "Xiao Yuan has been undergoing treatment for some time now. Once he gets a 'sputum test for acid-fast bacilli,' we can determine whether his tuberculosis has been cured."
"Ah, yes... that's how it is. Xiao Yuan, listen to your brother-in-law and do as he says!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. Madam Zhao looked at Ji Minxiu repeatedly to confirm, "If the examination shows no problems, does that mean Xiao Yuan's illness is completely cured?"
