Hui Niang choked with emotion, tears welling in her eyes: "It's my duty! I will never forget your great kindness!"
Shen Tangning held a handkerchief and wiped away her tears, her eyes flickering slightly.
It wasn't that she intended to make things difficult for Hui Niang, but if the matter didn't seem difficult, how could the other party be so grateful?
She wasn't some philanthropist who didn't expect anything in return; on the contrary, what she wanted was for the other party to value the life-saving grace.

After several twists and turns, Shen Tangning finally managed to contact the Princess.
You can imagine how excited Hui Niang was when she heard the news. That day, she asked Shen Tangning for a bronze mirror for the first time ever, and carefully dressed herself up.
Previously, Shen Tangning had someone put away the bronze mirror in the room. This was not intentional, but just something she did on a whim.
Everyone loves beauty, and she deeply understands how important appearance is to a woman. She doesn't let Hui Niang look in the mirror because she's afraid of upsetting her.
Hui Niang stared blankly at herself in the mirror.
She burned her own face; otherwise, she wouldn't have survived.
She only remembered that it hurt a lot when she was attacked, and for a long time she didn't dare to look in the mirror. But today was different; she was going to see His Highness.
Shen Tangning watched from the side. Hui Niang had a pair of skillful hands. Her makeup movements were a little clumsy at first, but she quickly became familiar with them.
The woman in the mirror gradually became more radiant and beautiful. Ignoring the half of her face, she was a pretty girl.
"All done." After finishing her makeup, Hui Niang glanced at Shen Tangning, who was waiting silently beside her, and stood up somewhat awkwardly. "Thank you for waiting so long."
She lowered her head uncomfortably, intentionally or unintentionally covering half of her face. Whether she dressed up or not, there was really no difference in her appearance.
But she subconsciously felt that this was a very serious matter.
Shen Tangning's bright eyes curved slightly: "It looks great, no need to cover it up."
She thought to herself, "Your Highness will surely recognize you."
Hui Niang's eyes inexplicably became a little moist.
...
"She wants to see me?"
Yan Mingyi casually tossed the copied Buddhist scriptures aside, her expression nonchalant. "Perfect timing. I've heard she's been quietly accomplishing a lot lately, and I'd like to meet her."
Yin Fang said softly, "Miss Shen's exact words were that she wanted to bring someone to see His Highness."
Yan Mingyi raised an eyebrow with interest: "Who did you bring? It wouldn't happen to be my nephew, would it?"
After saying that, she shook her head.
The crown prince is still recuperating, so naturally he wouldn't make any moves that would alert the enemy at this time.
"It's strange, really. My nephew has always been a blockhead, but this time he's actually figured it out and started doing deceitful things. I don't believe there wasn't some expert guiding him behind the scenes." Yan Mingyi curled her lips slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in her narrowed eyes.
A novice monk came to announce: "His Highness's guest has arrived."
Yan Mingyi raised her eyes, and Yin Fang, understanding, went out to lead the people away.
As Shen Tangning stepped through the door, she noticed a woman wearing a veil following behind her and casually teased, "Shen Tangning, you've really gotten better at this. You're acting all mysterious in front of me."
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman excitedly removed her veil, rushed forward, and knelt down with a thud: "Your Highness!"
Yan Mingyi paused, staring blankly at the woman's face. After a moment, she abruptly stood up, losing her composure!
