Not far from the embroidery workshop, there was an ordinary carriage parked.
Chen Shuang didn't notice, Master Qin didn't notice, and no one passing by took a second look.
Song Heng lifted a corner of the car curtain with slightly trembling fingers, and saw that the woman's eyes were blank at first, and then she smiled and started chatting with the person in front of her.
"Her face..." Song Heng's voice was very hoarse.
"Someone splashed fish soup on her." Doctor Jiang turned to look at Song Heng. "I've already told you everything she said. There's no reason for her to lie to me. So, there must be a misunderstanding between you two."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Song Heng, who was wrapped tightly in a coat, quickly stand up and about to jump out of the carriage.
"Prince Yu!" Imperial Physician Jiang called out to him hurriedly.
Song Heng turned around. His face was covered so his nose and lips couldn't be seen clearly, but his eyes finally had some light that hadn't been there before: "Doctor Jiang, I overestimated my patience. After what happened, I don't want to let go again."
They all looked at the man in front of Chen Shuang, who was rubbing his ear against her and was very close to her.
"But you must be patient now," Doctor Jiang said in a deep voice, "It's very dusty outside, and you can't take the risk in your current physical condition."
"Do you want to jump off the carriage now and pull that man away to meet her, or do you want to fully recover and spend the rest of your life chatting and laughing with her?" Doctor Jiang looked at the person in front of him word by word.
Song Heng's hand holding the car curtain trembled slightly, and finally he let go and returned to his original position: "Go back to Mian Songshan, please be sure to cure me."
"Hurry up."
Doctor Jiang smiled and said, "Okay."
When the carriage was halfway through, Doctor Jiang suddenly said, "Actually, I can find a chance for her to come see you..."
Song Heng shook his head firmly, holding back a cough and refusing, "I've just thought about it. I don't want her to see me like this, ahem... Besides, she really didn't want to come to see me, and I also want to clear up those misunderstandings in my heart."

The days are like drops of water on the eaves, dripping down one by one.
My scar was almost completely healed. That day, after Dr. Jiang removed the medical film for me, he softly asked, "Miss Mu, what are your plans after you're cured?"
I smiled and said, "To be honest with Doctor Jiang, I still have a large sum of money in my bank. I can withdraw it all after the cure!"
"Congratulations." Doctor Jiang was amused by me.
"Then, I will travel around the world, see mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, go to all corners of the country, and eat in every street and alley!" I said this with great ambition.
"Yes," Doctor Jiang replied, "By the way, my wife is going to come down the mountain the day after tomorrow. Would Miss Mu be willing to meet her?"
"Okay!" I didn't know how to start. "I'll treat you guys to dinner then!"
"Well, thank you Miss Mu in advance." He tidied the medicine box.

On the day when I removed the medicine film, Doctor Jiang's attendant brought me a bronze mirror. I looked at myself in the mirror and wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. Really, everything was healed.
Suddenly, the mournful sound of suona was heard outside the clinic, like human sobbing and crying echoing through the streets and alleys.
Just as I was about to ask, I heard Feng Er rushing in: "Master! Master's wife is here!"
I forgot to speak at this moment. Doctor Jiang looked out the door with a doting look on his face. I also looked out the door curiously and happily.
I saw the girl in bright yellow clothes flying in like a cheerful oriole, and her double spiral bun was as lively and playful as before.
I was stunned.
"Jiang Chen! Sister Mu!" Princess Rushuang quickly threw herself into my arms and kissed me, then took over the position of Doctor Jiang's attendant, pushing Doctor Jiang's wheelchair with both hands.
"Pay attention to the threshold when you run," Doctor Jiang instructed gently, then smiled at me and said, "There's no need for introductions. You might know this place better than I do."
wife!?
I looked at Ru Shuang's hands tightly gripping Doctor Jiang's wheelchair, her whole body stiff and her mind in a mess.
Ru Shuang subconsciously covered her arm and said apologetically, "I almost had hysteria at the time and cut my hand with a knife. Sister Mu, don't be afraid..."
Then he jokingly said, "Back then, I wasted a mandarin duck bed sheet. It seemed to be made of brocade. I heard from Jiang Chen that Sister Mu works in an embroidery workshop. Is brocade quite expensive?"
My head went "boom" and countless memories exploded in an instant, vivid and yet completely unrecognizable.
What did I know? What did I misunderstand? What did I miss?
"Sister Mu, don't you remember me..." Ru Shuang suddenly became anxious: "During this period, Jiang Chen treated your illness, so I had to stay in Miansong Mountain to treat Brother Heng, and I couldn't come to see you first..."
"Who is the current emperor? Who is the queen!?" I didn't hear what she said at all. I was shaking all over as I held the bronze mirror in my hand, staring at the person in front of me.
"Oh..." Ru Shuang seemed to understand something: "Sister Mu probably doesn't know yet, but Brother Song Yu succeeded to the throne and married Princess Shengyang as the queen."
…
"I heard that in April, someone saw His Majesty and the Princess leave the palace together, sitting in that pleasure boat admiring the willows and peach trees, making all the sisters on the shore envious!"
"Everyone says that His Majesty and the Princess are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman! They are a real treat to the eyes!"
…
So His Majesty is Song Yu and the Princess is Duan Sheng! ?
How arrogant and self-righteous am I!?
"Sister Mu? Sister Mu?" Duan Sheng walked up to me and looked at me worriedly.
I held back my trembling teeth and grasped Rushuang's shoulders. "Rushuang, tell me—where is Song Heng? Where is Song Heng?"
