"I'm just a little tired, it's because I didn't get enough rest. Just drink some medicine to calm the nerves and replenish the energy." Tao Qiming explained seriously.

Ye Yunzi breathed a sigh of relief. Her diagnosis was consistent with that of Doctor Tao. Although she was not a professional doctor, she was still adept at treating common diseases.

"Doctor Tao, there are herbs in the warehouse. See if you can make a prescription. If you're missing anything, I'll send someone to buy them."

"Okay, I'll go take a look." Tao Qiming's interest was piqued. He was always passionate about rare medicinal materials.

Ye Yunzi knew his hobby, so she added: "If Doctor Tao needs any medicinal materials, just take them."

"How can this be possible..." Tao Qiming declined.

"It's my duty. Those herbs would be wasted if they were kept in the warehouse. They can play their greatest value only when they are in your hands." Ye Yunzi smiled sincerely. She knew that Dr. Tao's help was priceless and she was willing to give everything for it.

Tao Qiming not only saved her mother, but also saved Si Yan. Ye Yunzi will always remember this kindness in her heart.

Tao Qiming accepted the request straightforwardly without any hesitation: "Then I won't be polite!"

He came to the storehouse and carefully selected several medicinal herbs and handed them to the servants, preparing to make a medicinal soup for Baili Yue. Then he selected some precious herbs, wrapped them in oil paper and took them away with satisfaction.

Ye Yunzi smiled as she sent Tao Qiming to the door, but once outside, her smile disappeared and her tone became serious: "Doctor Tao, please tell Si Yan that you have something to discuss, and ask him to meet me at Ningcaotang."

Tao Qiming noticed Ye Yunzi's serious expression and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll tell him."

"Thank you." Ye Yunzi smiled and expressed her gratitude. She looked up at the sky and found that it was covered with dark clouds. "It looks like it's going to rain. Doctor Tao, please go back quickly."

Tao Qiming took a deep look at Ye Yunzi, then turned and left. After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but want to look back to see if she was still there. Although he struggled in his heart, he finally suppressed the thought, sighed, and quickened his pace to leave.

Ye Yunzi watched Tao Qiming until he was out of sight, then turned around and prepared to go back home. The moment she turned around, she felt a chill on her back, as if someone was staring at her. She quickly looked back at the street, but found that it was empty.

The feeling of being watched just now seemed real. Ye Yunzi frowned and thought for a moment, then walked into the mansion and ordered the door to be closed immediately. It might be her own illusion, or the curious eyes of passers-by. Besides, there are secret guards guarding the mansion, so there will be no problem.

Returning to the room, Ye Yunzi saw that Baili Yue had already taken the medicine and her complexion was much better than before. After drinking the warm medicine soup, Baili Yue's mood also calmed down and she no longer felt uneasy. She thought to herself, maybe she really just saw it wrong, how could Ye Heng be similar to Kuimuzhu?

She suddenly wanted to see Ye Heng to confirm whether she had misunderstood. After all, Ye Heng had saved her when she was kidnapped before, and she had not yet thanked him properly. But how could she see him...

Baili Yue was shy and struggled for a long time, not knowing how to start. At night, she finally mustered up the courage to say to Ye Yunzi, "I want to go to the yard to get some fresh air..."

Ye Yunzi was about to stand up and accompany him, but was stopped by Baili Yue: "No need, I can walk by myself, it's just in the yard in front, you don't have to worry."

"Okay." Ye Yunzi agreed, thinking that in a small place like the Ye family, there was no need to keep an eye on Baili Yue all the time. "Come back quickly when you feel cold."

"Yeah." Baili Yue nodded with a smile on her face. She was already familiar with the layout of the Ye family and knew where Ye Heng lived.

Baili Yue was nervous and walked slowly towards Ye Heng's residence alone. When she finally arrived at the quiet and deserted courtyard, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Standing not far away, she twisted her handkerchief hesitantly, and finally mustered up the courage to step forward and ask, "Is Ye Heng here?"

Before she finished speaking, a dark shadow suddenly jumped in front of her, scaring Baili Yue so much that she almost fell down. Fortunately, the other party supported her in time, and a gentle voice came: "Are you okay?"

With the weak light, Baili Yue saw clearly that there was a pretty woman in black clothes in front of her. She was speechless for a moment after the shock just now, but she quickly regained her composure and asked, "Who are you? You scared me."

"I'm sorry." The woman called Aliang let go of her hand and politely took a step back. "This is the young master's private space. You may have come to the wrong place."

"I... I'm here to see Ye Heng." Baili Yue's voice trembled a little. She realized that it might be inappropriate to visit alone, but she just wanted to express her gratitude and had a clear conscience.

Aliang simply looked her over and replied, "The young master is busy with important matters right now."

"I understand... I'll come back another day." Baili Yue seemed to feel a little embarrassed and prepared to turn around and leave.

At this moment, she noticed what Aliang was weaving in his hands - a red thread. The thread and the way it was weaved somehow evoked her memories. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you weaving?"

Ah Liang looked down at her work, which was a knot woven for peace. Seeing that someone was interested, she explained, "This is a peace rope."

"So beautiful." Baili Yue involuntarily moved closer, with curiosity flashing in her eyes. "How was it made?"

Aliang's fingers danced deftly, and every movement revealed his proficiency and concentration. Seeing this familiar technique, Baili Yue's memory was instantly activated. When she was a child, she followed her seventh brother to play in the palace of Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian also used red ropes to weave various exquisite objects. At that time, she also tried to learn, but she always failed.

Aliang's movements and expressions reminded Bailiyue of Empress Xian, whose gentle and focused look was almost identical. This made Bailiyue wonder if she had recognized the wrong person again. She looked up at Aliang's face and found that the similarities between the two were not limited to their techniques, but also the warmth in their tranquility.

"You..." Baili Yue was so surprised that she couldn't speak, as if the woman in front of her was another old friend who had crossed time.

"Is there anything else?" Aliang asked softly.

"Can you teach me how to weave a silk cord? I tried before, but didn't learn it. I heard that your technique is exactly the same as that of Empress Xian." the other party said.

When Empress Xian was mentioned, Aliang's expression softened instantly and his gaze turned to Baili Yue.

Empress Xian...

This name touched the softest part of Aliang's heart. Although she had seen the ups and downs of the world, only Empress Xian could make ripples in her heart. She was a woman like a spring breeze, always giving Aliang warmth and comfort inadvertently.

"Are you missing Concubine Xian too?" There was a barely perceptible tenderness in Aliang's voice.
