After leaving the room, Xuanyuan Ping asked quietly, "Imperial Physician, what's wrong with the princess's health?"

Doctor Liu sighed softly, with a look of helplessness and worry in his eyes, "Your Highness, the princess's physical condition is indeed very bad. This coldness has penetrated deep into her bones and has affected the circulation of her Qi and blood. Now, her Qi and blood are seriously deficient. This may be because the previous prescription was too strong and caused damage to her body."

When Xuanyuan Ping heard this result, he was shocked, "Is there a solution?"

Doctor Liu lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Your Highness, I will do my best to treat the princess, but this disease is a little strange, I need some time to study it."

Xuanyuan Ping felt warm in his heart and was full of gratitude to Doctor Liu. "Dr. Liu, you have worked so hard. I thank you in advance. I will leave the princess's condition in your hands."

Imperial Physician Liu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, your words are too kind. I will do my best."

Xuanyuan Ping watched Doctor Liu leave, feeling a surge of regret in his heart. The bitter consequences of his original decision had harmed her, and now he could only pray silently, hoping that Doctor Liu could cure her as soon as possible and restore her health.

Yinping walked into the room steadily, holding the steaming hot medicine. She walked carefully to the flower pot and gently poured the medicine into it. Since she started pouring the medicine, the flower pot has grown better and better, with greener leaves and brighter flowers.

Pei Zhiyan had instructed that every month, the prescriptions written by Doctor Liu should be prepared as usual, and after they were prepared, they should be quietly thrown away. Although this behavior was a bit strange, Yinping did not ask any more questions. She knew that Pei Zhiyan must have her reasons for doing this.

Pei Zhiyan looked at the blooming flowers. The medicine was not wasted and it did play its role.

Ever since Xuanyuan Ping found out that Pei Zhiyan was the little girl who saved him in the palace when he was young, he went to Yime Garden more and more frequently, almost every day.

The servants of Yimei Garden were very happy, thinking that the princess had finally won the favor of the prince. However, Pei Zhiyan could not bear the annoyance, and her peaceful days were gone.

Every time Xuanyuan Ping came to Yimeyuan, she had to put on a forced smile to cope with his enthusiasm and concern, and she couldn't help feeling a little tired.

Pei Zhiyan couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that this was how it felt to deal with someone you didn't love. If it was in her previous life, Xuanyuan Ping was so enthusiastic and doting on her, she might have felt flattered. But now, she only felt helpless and exhausted.

On this day, Pei Zhiyan was in a good mood and was about to go out for a walk. Just as she reached the gate, she met Xuanyuan Ping head-on.

"Yan'er, where are you going?" Xuanyuan Ping asked with a hint of concern in his eyes.

Pei Zhiyan originally planned to go to the General's Mansion, but since she met Xuanyuan Ping, she naturally couldn't tell the truth. She was secretly annoyed in her heart, but she still maintained an elegant smile on her face.

"Your Highness, I heard that Yuchun Tower has received a new batch of silks and satins, and I plan to go and take a look." Pei Zhiyan replied, trying to make her tone sound natural.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Ping raised his lips slightly, nodded, and said, "In that case, I will accompany you to take a look."

Pei Zhiyan's heart tightened. Is he okay? He actually offered to go with her. She quickly declined, "Your Highness is busy with official business, or..."

"It's okay. I'm free today, so I'll go with you to take a look." Xuanyuan Ping interrupted her and said with a smile.

Helplessly, Pei Zhiyan had to nod, and the two of them went to Yuchun Tower together.

On the busy streets, the carriage was moving slowly, and the shops on both sides of the street were bustling with people, and the hawking sounds were heard one after another. Pei Zhiyan and Xuanyuan Ping sat side by side in the carriage, and the atmosphere was a little subtle.

This was the first time that the two of them rode in the same carriage. Although there were the sounds of rolling wheels and the hustle and bustle of the streets around them, it was quiet inside the carriage.

Xuanyuan Ping couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Although Pei Zhiyan and Xuan'er were sisters, their personalities were completely different. Xuan'er was lively and cheerful, while Pei Zhiyan was gentle and introverted.

He looked at her, only to see a hint of melancholy between her brows, her face as gentle as an ink painting, and an indescribable gracefulness between her brows. Her eyes were deep and calm, as if hiding endless secrets.

"Yan'er, we haven't been alone together like this for a long time." Xuanyuan Ping broke the silence, his voice a little hoarse.

Pei Zhiyan gently turned her head and looked at Xuanyuan Ping with her clear eyes. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a light and elegant smile. "Your Highness has been busy with state affairs, dealing with matters big and small every day, so naturally it is difficult for him to have free time."

Xuanyuan Ping nodded slightly, with a hint of apology in his eyes, "I know that I have a lot of things to deal with, and sometimes I ignore you."

"My Lord," Pei Zhiyan said softly, her eyebrows lowered, "You are the pillar of the country and bear heavy responsibilities. How can you not worry about the well-being of the people? As the princess, I should share your worries."

Pei Zhiyan's words made Xuanyuan Ping feel warm in his heart. He looked at Pei Zhiyan's clear eyes, and a strong affection surged in his heart.

His hand involuntarily reached out to Pei Zhiyan and gently held her hand. "When this king completes his great cause, I will definitely enjoy all the flowers in the world with you and share the beauty of the world."

Pei Zhiyan heard this and calmly pulled back her hand, laughing in her heart. These words were used to deceive Pei Zhiyan in her previous life. But she had already seen through everything, and in this life, she would never be trapped by love again.

She lowered her head to hide the mockery in her eyes and said softly, "Your Highness's intentions are known to me. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will stay by your side and weather the storm together."

Xuanyuan Ping did not notice the turmoil in Pei Zhiyan's heart. He was just moved by her determination and loyalty.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped and there was a noise outside.

Xuanyuan Ping frowned, opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and saw a servant hurried over and replied, "Your Majesty, it's the Sixth Prince."

Hearing this news, Pei Zhiyan's heart couldn't help but tighten. Sixth Prince Xuanyuan Che, why is he here? She couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in her heart.

Xuanyuan Ping looked at the boy, frowned slightly, and said with a hint of displeasure, "What is he doing here?"

Before the servant could answer, Xuanyuan Che had already arrived in front of the carriage on his tall horse. His gorgeous clothes sparkled in the sun, and he had a confident smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a sense of disdain and arrogance.

He did not dismount, but looked down at Xuanyuan Ping, with a hint of provocation in his voice: "Third brother, long time no see, can you have a drink with me?"
