Xiao Changshi felt a little anxious when he saw that the Queen had already arranged Su Lingyue's affairs but his own affairs had not yet been resolved.

He said in a flattering tone, "Mother, I don't know if my misspoken words will be spread to your father's ears by someone with ulterior motives. If there is any rumor, I beg you to speak up for me and explain a little."

Only after hearing Xiao Changshi's words did the queen come back to her senses.

Xiao Changshi looked very strange. If it was just a slip of the tongue, he wouldn't be so nervous.

The queen immediately said in a deep voice: "Shi'er, tell mother that you didn't do this?"

Xiao Changshi smiled and said, "Of course not, I know the relationship between mother and sister Yue'er, how could I hurt him!"

The queen looked at Xiao Changshi without avoiding her gaze.

After the incident at Longhua Temple, she told Su Heng and Xiao Changshi that they must not hurt Yue'er under any circumstances, and they both made a promise.

The Queen nodded doubtfully and said, "Last time, I asked Eunuch He to contact your uncle and ask him to find a way out. But the price for his coming out, no matter who it is, cannot be Yue'er. You cannot hurt Yue'er. If you hurt her, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Hearing this, Xiao Changshi's heart sank, his brows slightly frowned, and a trace of disappointment appeared on his face.

He knew that his mother loved Su Lingyue, but he never thought that she loved her to such an extent!

He looked at the queen's stern face and murmured, "If there really comes a day when mother can only choose between me and sister Yue'er, who will mother choose?"

The queen was startled. She didn't expect Xiao Changshi to ask such a question. Then she reacted and said calmly, "Shi'er, you are my son, and Yue'er was raised by me. They are both equally important. Don't let your imagination run wild."

"Your father's birthday is coming soon. At the birthday banquet, he will announce that you and King Jing will be married. You should ask your uncle to think of a way to stop your father from granting you a marriage!"

After hearing the Queen say that he was as important as Su Lingyue, Xiao Changshi's expression relaxed and the coldness in his heart gradually faded away.

His face was filled with his usual gentle expression, and he said, "Yes, I will send someone to ask uncle if there is any solution when I get home."

The queen seemed to have thought of something and asked again, "How is Xing'er? Has she been noisy recently?"

Xiao Changshi smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. I have already warned her. She is relatively quiet in the mansion now and has not caused any trouble!"

The queen nodded, "That's all! Go ahead!"

After paying his respects, Xiao Changshi left Kunning Palace.

*

At the gate of Prince Su's mansion, the previous doctor had just been sent away, and a woman with an oval face, big eyes, double buns tied with green ribbons, and wearing a green short jacket, rushed to the front of the team.

"I, I am very good at medicine. I can easily cure common diseases!"

Lai Fu glanced at the woman in front of him and felt as if he had seen her somewhere, but he couldn't remember where for a moment.

At this time, the first person in the team said angrily: "Girl, do you know that first come first served?"

The second person echoed, "Yeah, we waited in line for a long time before it was our turn, how come you cut in line right away!"

They all want to earn one thousand taels of silver. If this woman's medical skills are really good, wouldn't that cut off their source of income?

Want to cut in line? No way!

The first one in line reprimanded again: "This is the palace, young lady better abide by the rules set by the palace!"

Lai Fu also felt that although this woman was very pretty and beautiful, she shouldn’t cut in line!

He stopped the woman and said in a calm voice, "Miss, there are rules in the mansion. You can't cut in line!"

The woman frowned slightly, staring at Lai Fu with her bright, round eyes, and said unhappily, "When the Japanese bullied the mother and her two children, I saved your princess's second cousin. He was worried about the princess's condition, so he asked me to come and see her!"

Lai Fu stared at the woman's face for a moment, then slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, you are the girl that was taken away by Mr. Jiang Er!"

The woman nodded and responded, "Yes, it's me, Ling Ling."

Lai Fu led the way attentively, "I see, the last doctor just left. Miss Ling Ling, please come in!"

When the two men in front saw that this woman was recommended by the princess's cousin, they could only stare at her and said nothing more.

On the way to Hibiscus Pavilion, Ling Ling couldn't help but ask Lai Fu curiously, "I heard that your princess fell ill due to shock?"

Lai Fu nodded and said, "Yes, early in the morning, the prince found out that the princess was ill, so he asked us to find a doctor. Unfortunately, all the doctors who came were quacks who couldn't diagnose anything, so they sent them away."

Ling Ling said with a puzzled look on her face: "Looking at your princess's complexion that day, she didn't look like a weak person. How could she get sick after being frightened? I'm curious about how tragic the murder was!"

Lai Fu was present yesterday and he knew the situation at the scene, but the prince had instructed not to reveal a single word to the outside world.

He suppressed the impulse in his heart and brought the person to the inner courtyard of Furong Pavilion.

When they arrived at the inner courtyard, Xia He led the way.

Su Lingyue was lying there bored, "Cai Die, who picked up the dagger and hurt me like this?"

Caidie shook her head. "I don't know. We didn't see anyone familiar that day. Where's A-Qing? Did you see anyone strange?"

Compared to Su Lingyue, Li Jing was even more angry.

Su Lingyue killed the princess's horse in order to stand up for her, but she didn't expect that this incident would be used by someone with ulterior motives to frame the palace.

"no!"

She spoke word by word, gritting her teeth and said coldly: "If I know him, I will go find him right now and use my sword to teach him how to write the word death!"

Caidie clenched her fists and said angrily, "Take me with you!"

Su Lingyue recalled the day when Li Jingcai came to the palace and put the sword on her neck with a fierce look on his face. She couldn't help but touch her neck again.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

Xia He said at the door: "Sister Caiyi, the doctor is here!"

"coming."

Caiyi walked to the door of the room and as soon as she opened it, she saw a pretty little girl in a light green short jacket.

I didn't see the doctor.

Caiyi stuck her head out and looked around, but still didn't see the doctor.

Xia He hurriedly explained, "Sister Caiyi, the doctor is this girl."

"That's right, it's me!" Ling Ling raised her chin to agree.

Caiyi hesitated for a moment, then remembered that her young lady also knew medical skills, so she smiled and welcomed her into the bedroom, "Miss, please come in."

After Ling Ling entered the house, she looked around the bedroom and exclaimed sincerely: Rich people’s bedrooms are so big, and the things in them are so luxurious!

Walking around the screen, she saw Li Jing sitting there with a fierce look on her face, and Caidie staring at her.

Ling Ling recognized her, but she didn't seem to recognize herself.

She introduced herself, "My name is Ling Ling. We met on the street that day. I invited Second Young Master Jiang to come. Second Young Master Jiang heard that the princess was ill, so he asked me to come and see her!"

When she said that, Caidie suddenly remembered and asked in surprise, "Oh, it's you! Do you also know medical skills?"

Ling Ling smiled proudly and said, "Yeah!"

Su Lingyue gently lifted a corner of the gauze curtain and saw Ling Ling through the gap.

She remembered the girl, but she didn't expect that she was also a doctor.

Caiyi did not reveal any more information about the princess' illness because she was familiar with her.

Instead, he took her to the bedside and said, "Miss, please feel the princess' pulse!"

Ling Ling said nothing more. She sat down beside the bed and put her hand on Su Lingyue's wrist.

Through the handkerchief, Ling Ling carefully felt the patient's pulse, her brows gradually furrowed.

"The princess is not ill. It's the medicine she took that has caused her pulse to become disordered. Also..."

"Ah, that's enough!" Su Lingyue interrupted her quickly, worried that she would tell her that she couldn't get pregnant.

She pulled back her hand and opened the gauze curtain, praising sincerely: "Miss Ling Ling, your medical skills are really amazing!"
