Baili Yue followed Ye Yunzi quietly.

Ye Luoan looked up when he heard the voice, and smiled warmly when he saw Ye Yunzi, "Yunzi, long time no see, you look thinner again. This won't do..."

"Come and see what good things your uncle brought you. These are specialties from Huaizhou." Ye Luoan came with a lot of gifts as usual.

Ye Yunzi looked at her uncle carefully, and after confirming that he was safe and sound, she asked, "Did your trip go smoothly? Did you gain anything?"

Ye Luoan was slightly startled, with a complicated expression, "Not bad."

"That's good." Ye Yunzi didn't ask any more questions.

The two looked at each other, and there were unspoken words in each other's eyes, but no one said anything.

At this time, Ye Luoan noticed that there was another person standing behind him and looked at him inquiringly, "Who is this?"

"Oh, this is the Thirteenth Princess. She will stay in our house for a few days. Please keep it a secret, uncle." Ye Yunzi explained.

Ye Luoan frowned slightly. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for the princess to appear in the Ye family. He bowed respectfully and said, "Meet the princess."

"You're welcome." Baili Yue waved her hand lightly and smiled faintly.

Baili Yue's eyes stayed on Ye Luoan for a moment, then moved to the figure not far away. When her eyes met Ye Heng's, her heart was involuntarily throbbing. However, the coldness in his eyes made Baili Yue pale instantly, and she took a step back unconsciously.

That look reminded her of Kui Muzhu - the days of imprisonment still frightened her to this day.

"Princess?" Seeing this, Ye Yunzi quickly supported the shaking Baili Yue and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I..." Baili Yue was speechless due to fear.

"Mother, uncle, I will take the princess back to her room to rest first." Ye Yunzi said immediately, and signaled her family to invite Doctor Tao.

Ye nodded, her face full of concern, "Go quickly, and make sure the princess is okay."

Ye Yunzi helped Baili Yue out of the front hall. As they got farther away, Baili Yue's face gradually regained some color and his body stopped shaking.

"Yue'er, where do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want to let Doctor Tao take a look?" Ye Yunzi asked worriedly, thinking that Baili Yue might be injured.

Baili Yue shook her head gently, "It's okay, I was just... in a trance for a moment."

Whenever she thought of the scene just now, her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. How could she mistake Ye Heng for Kuimuzhu? They were obviously unrelated, how could they look similar... She must have seen it wrong.

Baili Yue felt exhausted and said softly, "I'm just a little tired..."

Ye Yunzi responded gently: "Then go back to your room and rest. You must be exhausted. Yu Shu, go to the kitchen and get a bowl of bird's nest." Yu Shu nodded in agreement and quickly walked towards the kitchen.

Baili Yue's mind drifted elsewhere, with Ye Heng's cold face and Kuimu Zhu's casual demeanor appearing alternately in her mind. How could the two be similar? She tried hard to get rid of these thoughts, but they were like entwined vines, getting tighter and tighter.

Suddenly, she stopped and thought of Ye Heng's unique eyes. Yes, those dark purple eyes, with a natural nobility and aloofness, like a solitary gem, both cold and mysterious. One is serious and reserved, while the other is frivolous and uninhibited; one does not smile easily, while the other smiles with a hint of cynicism. They are obviously two completely different personalities, but they have such similar eyes.

Baili Yue was startled, her body gradually turned cold, and her eyes were full of surprise. When she realized this, she could hardly believe her eyes.

Seeing this, Ye Yunzi frowned slightly and suggested, "Let's ask Doctor Tao to take a look at the pulse. Even if there's nothing wrong, he can prescribe some medicine to calm the nerves and nourish the heart."

"Yunzi..." Bailiyue looked at Ye Yunzi and hesitated, "Ye Heng...his eyes..."

When it comes to Ye Heng, Baili Yue feels embarrassed to speak. Should he directly say that his eyes are similar to Kuimuzhu's? Wouldn't this cause unnecessary suspicion? After all, Ye Heng is a member of the Ye family, how could he have any connection with Kaifeng State?

"What's wrong?" Ye Yunzi asked. Seeing Baili Yue's flickering eyes, she felt something was wrong.

"His eyes are indeed different." Baili Yue finally spoke in a low voice.

"Well, it's because his mother is from the Western Regions, so his eyes are special." Ye Yunzi explained in a firm tone.

Ye Yunzi knew very well that Ye Heng was not her uncle's biological son, but she had already decided to keep this secret for the sake of the Ye family's reputation and Ye Heng's safety.

After hearing this, Baili Yue just responded softly and lowered his head without saying anything.

After returning to the courtyard, Ye Yunzi sent someone to invite Doctor Tao. After checking Baili Yue's pulse, he found that she was fine, but just irritable and not looking good, so he suggested prescribing some conditioning medicine.

However, Ye Yunzi still had some questions in her mind. Baili Yue's reaction just now was not just because she noticed that Ye Heng's eyes were different. What did she see? Why was she so afraid of Ye Heng? This question lingered in Ye Yunzi's mind.

Ye Yunzi was filled with worry, and she looked up at Baili Yue.

Baili Yue lowered her head, twisting her handkerchief between her fingers, as if she was troubled. Not long after, Yu Shu walked in and said, "Miss, Doctor Tao is here."

"Please ask him to go to the next room." Ye Yunzi ordered softly.

She gently took Baili Yue's hand and said softly: "Doctor Tao is here, Yue'er, let him check you out, so we can all feel more at ease." Baili Yue nodded gently in agreement.

When the two walked out of the yard, they saw Tao Qiming standing there with a medicine box. When he saw Ye Yunzi, a warm smile immediately bloomed on his face: "Miss Ye!"

"Doctor Tao, thank you for troubling you again." Ye Yunzi nodded slightly in greeting.

"No trouble, no trouble!" Tao Qiming waved his hands quickly, "It's just a simple pulse check. Does this girl need a consultation too?"

Baili Yue was curious about the young Doctor Tao in front of him. She thought that anyone who could prepare such excellent medicine must be an old man, but she didn't expect that Doctor Tao looked only about thirty years old.

"Did you really prepare this burn ointment? That's amazing! You are even younger than the assistant imperial physician in the palace." Baili Yue's eyes lit up and she exclaimed sincerely.

The burn ointment was indeed very effective. Even in the palace, there was no ointment as good as this one. After using it for two days, her wounds began to heal, and the new skin that grew out was as white as before.

Tao Qiming secretly speculated in his heart that Baili Yue in front of him was elegant and obviously from a famous family. Hearing her mention the imperial physician, he couldn't help but think of the palace, but why did she appear in the Ye Mansion?

With doubt, Tao Qiming looked at Ye Yunzi. Ye Yunzi said, "Don't stand there, come in first."

The three of them entered the next room, and Tao Qiming concentrated on feeling Baili Yue's pulse. After a moment, he said, "Nothing serious."
