However, her plan was unexpectedly discovered by Mu Yan.

"Please give me a chance, Master Mu. I really won't do it again."

"Humph." Mu Yan snorted contemptuously, "If I find out again, you'll end up with sores all over your face."

"Yes, yes..." The maid's face was pale and she nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Mu Yan turned and left, with a frosty look on her face.

As she walked through the yard and passed the rockery and flowing water, she stopped on the small bridge and gazed down at her reflection in the water.

She looked like a man in his forties, which was completely different from her real appearance.

She touched her cheek involuntarily, "When can I stand beside His Highness in my true form?"

But she also knew that it was precisely because of this disguise that she had the opportunity to stay with His Highness.

A trace of melancholy flashed across her eyes. "Your Highness, I have tried everything to help you ascend the throne, but when you truly become the emperor, will you still remember my existence?"

the other side.

The maid tried to stand up tremblingly, but her legs kept weakening. After several attempts, she fell to the ground. Lord Mu's coldness seemed to freeze people's hearts, and her heart was still beating like thunder.

However, doubts quietly arose in the maid's frightened heart.

Lady Mu's expression just now was just like jealousy between women. You know, Lady Mu is the most respected doctor around His Highness.

"Could it be that..." Suddenly, a thought flashed through the maid's mind. Recalling the way Lord Mu usually stared at His Highness and those unintentional little movements, her body shook involuntarily.

"Impossible, I must have seen it wrong." She quickly put the thought out of her mind.

At the same time, a guard rode his horse quickly to the Su Mansion to report the news.

Ye Yunzi was relieved to learn that the disaster relief work was successfully completed, even though there were some minor setbacks in the process, but they were all resolved safely. "How is the head of the Shen family?" She asked expectantly, with a gleam in her eyes.

"Your Excellency will return to the capital in two days." the guard replied.

"Okay, I got it." Ye Yunzi felt much more relaxed after learning the exact date of return. After the guard saluted and left, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, looking at the bare branches outside the window, and she felt a special flavor.

"Miss, what are you admiring?" Yu Shu came over with a bowl of hot rock sugar and snow pear bird's nest.

"Don't you think this tree is special?" Ye Yunzi asked back.

Yu Shu looked at the seemingly ordinary tree in confusion: "Miss, the weather is cold, please keep warm. I have specially prepared some tonics, please drink them while they are hot... Your complexion has not been very good recently, and you need to take good care of yourself." Looking at the young lady's increasingly thin face, Yu Shu's heart was full of concern.

Having racked her brains for Concubine Xian's affairs, coupled with her longing for Shen Siyan, Ye Yunzi looked haggard in just a few days.

She nodded. "Then send it to mother."

"Okay, Mom." Ye Yunzi responded softly.

After a while, the eldest lady brought a bowl of hot snow pear bird's nest to her daughter, her eyes full of love, "Yunzi, eat more. You have lost a lot of weight recently."

"Thank you, mother. You should drink more too." Ye Yunzi smiled slightly, with warmth in her eyes.

The eldest lady lovingly helped her tidy up the hair that had fallen around her ears, and said softly, "In three months, it will be your coming-of-age ceremony, and by then you should consider finding a good family."

"Mom." Ye Yunzi lowered her head shyly.

"Don't worry, mother will help you choose a good husband and will never let you suffer any grievances." said the eldest lady.

Yu Shu, who was standing by, couldn't help laughing when he saw this, but he immediately controlled himself. He knew that the young lady already had someone in her heart, and she would not marry anyone else except the head of the Shen family.

Just when Yu Shu was about to say something, Ye Yunzi gave him a warning look, signaling him not to say anything more.

Yu Shu had to cough to cover it up and winked at the young lady, but this made Ye Yunzi's face turn red like an apple.

The eldest lady looked at the tacit communication between the two and felt a little confused.

Yu Shu continued, "For a beautiful and intelligent person like Miss, there will definitely be many matchmakers coming to propose marriage to her. I'm afraid the door will be worn out by so many people."

"That's true." The eldest lady smiled and nodded. She felt that her daughter was the best no matter how she looked at it.

"Mother, please choose carefully, and find someone with a good family background, good looks, and most importantly, someone who knows how to take care of us Yunzi." The eldest lady added.

"Everything will be arranged by mother." Ye Yunzi agreed. Seeing her mother in high spirits, she felt more at ease.

Ye Yunzi felt very relieved thinking of how Dr. Tao's help enabled her mother to detoxify and recover, and now her mother is getting stronger and stronger.

In this life, she finally protected her mother and changed the fate of her previous life.

As for marriage... thinking of this, her face flushed again.

"Okay, eat it while it's hot. The pear bird's nest will not taste good if it gets cold." The eldest lady reminded.

"Mom, you can enjoy it too." Ye Yunzi said gently.

The atmosphere in the house was warm and cheerful, with laughter ringing out. At this moment, Su Huan, who was passing by, stopped and looked into the house.

When Yu Shu saw Su Huan, she greeted him respectfully, "Young Master."

"Is it Heng'er?" The eldest lady invited her son into the house and served him a bowl of warm bird's nest with rock sugar. "Your hands are frozen. Come and warm yourself up."

In this way, the family spent a wonderful time together with laughter.

Su Huan glanced at the eldest lady, then looked at Ye Yunzi. Feeling the warm and thick atmosphere around him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

The seventh prince Baili Yan successfully provided relief to the disaster victims in the south and returned home full of praise.

However, there was a turmoil hidden behind this: Chen Wensheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, actually colluded with outsiders to steal relief supplies and even almost implicated the Seventh Prince.

"Your Majesty..." Empress Xian hesitated to speak, her face as pale as snow. In the end, she just bit her lips lightly, looking even weaker and more helpless.

The emperor felt a surge of pity and felt deeply sorry for Concubine Xian. First, the crow incident caused Concubine Xian to be wronged, and now the seventh prince was almost harmed.

He hugged Concubine Xian into his arms and said firmly, "Don't worry, I will find out the truth."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Empress Xian whispered softly, leaning on the emperor's chest, her figure looking exceptionally frail.

Seeing this scene, the emperor couldn't help but sigh, and the guilt in his heart grew heavier.

"Who on earth dares to plot this under my nose? Once the truth is revealed, he must be severely punished." The emperor immediately ordered the Ministry of Justice to interrogate Chen Wensheng and force him to reveal the mastermind behind the incident.

In the cell, Chen Wensheng was tied to a rusty chair, and the air was filled with a disgusting stench of decay and blood.

His face was gray and his expression was dull. All the way he was confused as to how the Seventh Prince had seen through all this. After all, he thought his plan was flawless.
