Chapter 97 Night Talk at Lingyun Peak

The Queen and her entourage enjoyed this meal very much.

Even Xia Miaoyuan, whose teeth had not yet grown, ate happily.

Although the food on the table was limited to what she could eat, it did not affect her good mood at all.

She drank the fragrant rice porridge, ate the minced meat and eggs that Yin Xizi specially stewed for her, and ate some vegetable soup.

[Oh, my stomach is so full! This is the feeling of being full. Drinking milk all day is really not good.]

Xia Miaoyuan touched her round belly and burped with satisfaction.

Only Yin Xizi had a complicated mood while eating, and the taste was like chewing wax.

She was not stupid. The queen brought the prince and princess to visit, not because she was free to climb the mountain for fun. It must be related to the last time she asked someone to invite her out of the mountain.

After the meal, the sun had already set.

"It's getting late, Doctor Yin, can you let us stay overnight?" The queen said sincerely.

Yin Xizi was embarrassed: "Your Majesty asked, I shouldn't have refused, but I really have..." Yin Xizi paused, "It's really unfair to Your Majesty."

"Besides, my place is small and can't accommodate so many people."

The queen smiled slightly: "No problem, I don't mind."

That night, the queen left Xia Miaoyuan, Sang Qi, and Yingxue with her, and asked the others to stay at the hunter's house in the mountains.

In late autumn, on Lingyun Peak, the night wind was cold, and there was only a crescent moon hanging in the night sky.

In Yin Xizi's room, the queen sat opposite her. Xia Miaoyuan sat on the bed, playing with a rag doll by herself.

The queen asked Yingxue to bring out a pot of wine, filled it herself and handed it to Yin Xizi: "Doctor Yin, tonight just treat me as a passer-by, let's drink and chat."

Yin Xizi expected that the queen would most likely ask her to come out of retirement next, and she couldn't help but look grim. She slowly took the wine glass, tilted her head back and drank it all.

"I am not a good speaker, I like to speak directly. If your majesty, you came here this time to ask me to come out of retirement, then I can give you an answer now, I don't want to."

Yin Xizi's eyes were firm.

[This female doctor is really straightforward. It's not easy for my mother to ask her to come out of retirement. 】Xia Miaoyuan complained.

The queen pondered for a moment and said: "You have been living in seclusion in the mountains for more than ten years and have been unwilling to come out. This palace has heard about it."

"Last time, your majesty's secret guards came to bring you a message, and you ruthlessly refused. This palace understood even more how deep your obsession with not wanting to come out is."

The queen paused: "But, this palace is still unwilling."

"This time, I brought my two children to visit you, not to use my status to pressure you and force you to come out."

"I just think that there must be a reason for not wanting to come out. This palace just wants to ask you in person, what is the reason?"

[Humph! The reason is that her grandfather, her parents, were all killed by Prince Jing. 】Xia Miaoyuan recalled this passage in the book and bit her lips with her four front teeth in hatred.

Ah! It turns out that Yin Xizi's enemy is King Jing!

The queen was surprised and happy to hear her daughter's words, and there was also a sense of hatred.

Yin Xizi poured herself a glass of wine, took a sip and said: "If you don't want to come out of the mountains, then you don't want to come out of the mountains. As for the reason, what does it matter?"

The queen's eyes turned, and she simply changed her mind and asked directly: "People say that you live in seclusion in the mountains to avoid enemies?"

Yin Xizi closed her eyes in pain: "Yes."

Seeing Yin Xizi's frank admission, the queen became more confident and asked: "Then who is this enemy?"

Yin Xizi kept silent.

"Doctor Yin, the ones who asked you to come out this time are the Emperor and Empress of Daxia. With us as your backers, what do you have to worry about even if there are enemies?" The Empress picked up the wine jug and filled it for the two.

However, Yin Xizi laughed out loud, which was unusual for him. His laughter even scared Xia Miaoyuan.

"Hahahaha! The Emperor and Empress are my backers..."

Yin Xizi looked at the Empress with a sharp gaze, his eyes full of sarcasm: "But, what if this enemy's surname is Xia, the Xia in the palace?!"

Yin Xizi's face was dark, and his face was distorted because of excessive emotion: "What if he is a high-ranking royal relative, a relative of Emperor Mingxi! What can you do?!"

[Ah, although what the genius doctor aunt said is unpleasant, it is the truth. 】Xia Miaoyuan seemed to empathize with him, with a frown on her face.

【Prince Jing is Daddy's second brother, a half-brother with only a one-year age difference. They grew up together. They have a deep relationship. 】

【If this matter gets out, it will be very difficult for Daddy. 】

The Queen sat down next to Yin Xizi. She took her hand and said, "Doctor Yin, I'll just tell you the truth."

"This time I came to invite you, it was a unanimous decision of His Majesty and me."

"Before we came, we also inquired about some things about you. Although His Majesty doesn't know who your enemy is, he knows that this person is a royal relative."

"Since he asked me to invite you, he has made up his mind. No matter how special the identity of this royal relative is, he will do you justice."

Yin Xizi's eyes lit up, and she seemed to be moved.

"Your Majesty, can he really do justice for me?" Yin Xizi's eyes turned red.

The Queen looked directly into Yin Xizi's eyes and said, "I swear on my mother's family that your Majesty and I will definitely do justice for your family's grudge."

Two lines of tears slid down Yin Xizi's cheeks.

She wiped her tears, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, as if she had made a major decision, and said word by word, "Yes, King Jing!"

The Queen looked at Yin Xizi eagerly, as if waiting for her to continue.

"That was 18 years ago. Our Yin family lived in Dashi County, Qingzhou. That is our hometown."

"Our Yin family is a medical family and is quite famous in the local area. Especially my grandfather Yin Heng, who is known as Hua Tuo."

"At that time, Prince Jing's family was also in Dashi County, Qingzhou."

The queen nodded and murmured, "Yes, Prince Jing's fiefdom was Qingzhou."

"That year, Prince Jing's eldest son fell ill. Prince Jing loved his son very much, so he specially invited my grandfather to diagnose and treat him."

Xia Miaoyuan listened attentively to Yin Xizi's narration while recalling the plot in the book.

[I remember that the eldest son of Prince Jing was born to his Princess Bai. And Bai was Prince Jing's white moonlight. The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Prince Jing loved her deeply, and the son she gave birth to was even more precious to him. 】

Yin Xizi took a sip of wine and continued: "The child's disease was not difficult at first, but just a common pediatric disease. My grandfather treated the child carefully."

"But who would have thought that after the child took the medicine according to my grandfather's prescription for three days, the symptoms not only did not get better, but worsened."

"My grandfather diagnosed that the child's menstruation was abnormal, and the symptoms worsened because of the meridians."

"But the respectable king said that the grandfather was quibbling."

[A one-year-old child had more than a dozen silver needles inserted into his body. It would be strange if his menstruation was normal. 】

What? The child was inserted with silver needles? !

The queen was shocked.
