Princess Lu went mad and attacked Prime Minister Kong, but Zhang Hongyu stepped forward to help him, saving his life. Zhang Hongyu was then specially granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady, with the honorary title of Lady Yu.
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty."
Hongyu, the Prince of Jin, and the Prince of Jing kowtowed to express their gratitude.
"Rise."
The three stood up, but Shen Yu remained kneeling and pleaded, "Your Majesty, I do not seek any reward for healing the people. I hope Your Majesty will take back my fame. I only want to go home and farm, and I do not want to be a female imperial physician."
When Chen Yu returned to Qinghe Village, it was already dark.
The lame man led the way, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, a man hurriedly came to greet them.
The cripple kicked the man away.
"Oh, Miss Chenyu, it's me."
Shen Yu leaned closer and saw Brother Zhao lying on the ground, clutching his stomach and rolling around.
"Brother Zhao? What brings you here?"
Brother Zhao got up, pointed to the hall, and gestured for Chen Yu to speak to him privately.
Shen Yu led Brother Zhao into the hall. The cripple stood at the door, refusing to leave or let the door be closed. He covered his ears with his hands and stared intently at Brother Zhao.

Just now I made a false testimony for you, saying that I saw the appearance of the villain. Actually, it was Miss Hongyu who told me to say that. She promised to give me five hundred strings of cash and told me to wait for her here.”
Is Hongyu coming?
Shen Yu was furious. She had severed all ties with Hong Yu and would never allow Hong Yu to enter her courtyard.
Her expression instantly turned sour. Pointing to the door, she said, "Brother Zhao, please wait for Hongyu outside. Hongyu and I have severed all ties and will never have anything to do with each other again. Someone! Show her out!"
The lame man immediately went inside and asked Brother Zhao to leave.
------
A short while later.
Flames soared into the sky outside the gate.
Rong Momo rushed over to report, "Miss, Madam Yu has surrounded our villa with over a hundred guards, saying... if we don't open the door soon, she'll order her men to break it down and come in to arrest us."
