Pei Yun was really overwhelmed after hearing this, but since his uncle had spoken, he had no choice but to nod in agreement. He ate a mouthful of food and prepared to go back to study the prescription.

But he turned back halfway and stood at the door, looking at Mu Gu shyly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Mu Gu couldn't help laughing when he saw him like this, "Doctor Pei, just say whatever you want to say."

"The prince said before that he owed me a favor and he would redeem it whenever he came to you. I wonder if he still means it?"

Pei Yun looked at Mu Gu nervously, and when he saw him nod, he continued, "When I was a child, I had a childhood sweetheart named Yunniang. Later, there was a flood in my hometown and we were separated. I want the prince to help me find Yunniang!"

Mu Gu nodded and said, "Okay, when you go back, write down Yunniang's details, and I will tell Mo Yi, and you can go find him."

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"

Pei Yun excitedly bowed to Mu Gu, then turned around and left quickly.

Xiao Ruge blinked her eyes and smiled, "I thought he was obsessed with medicine and didn't find a wife. It turns out that he got separated from the woman he loved."

As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little worried.

"According to what Pei Yun said, this should have happened more than ten years ago. It has been such a long time. Let's not talk about whether Yunniang is still alive. What if she is already married and has children?"

She looked up at Mu Gu, who smiled, fed her a mouthful of egg custard, and said with a smile: "This is not something we can control. For now, we just need to find someone. Single is best, but if she is already married, let Pei Yun worry about it herself!"

Pei Yun was very concerned about Yunniang's matter. This had been a concern for him for more than ten years. Now that there was hope of finding the person, he quickly wrote down everything about Yunniang and gave it to Mo Yi.

After that, he concentrated on studying the prescription, and finally wrote a prescription that was closest to the antidote and had reasonable medicinal properties on the afternoon of the next day.

With this prescription, Mu Gu spread the news that Xiao Ruge had woken up.

The first person to visit was Princess Jianing, and she was accompanied by Duanmu Ling.

Xiao Ruge lay on the bed, pretending to be weak as she looked at the two of them, and said softly, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

"Ruge, don't say that. We are good sisters. I came to visit you before, but my seventh cousin wouldn't let me see you. He's really too much!"

Ever since she was turned away, Princess Jianing has been holding her breath, waiting for Xiao Ruge to wake up and complain to her!

Mu Gu pretended not to hear and winked at Duanmu Ling, and the two of them went to the outer room together, allowing Princess Jianing to have some private conversation with Xiao Ruge.

Seeing the concern in Princess Jianing's eyes, Xiao Ruge felt warm in her heart. She took her hand and asked her how things were going between her and Duanmu Ling.

Princess Jianing sighed when she mentioned this. "Since I ignored him, he treated me better, but recently he has become his old, heartless self again. Ruge, what do you think I should do?"

Listening to Princess Jianing's complaints, Xiao Ruge thought for a moment and said, "I think Duanmu Ling has you in his heart, but he just doesn't know it."

Princess Jianing also nodded in agreement, but how should she make Duanmu Ling realize his true feelings? She really had no idea.

"When you go back, tell the princess that you want to go on a blind date!"

Xiao Ruge's words made Princess Jianing's eyes widen instantly. She immediately shook her head and said, "How can that be possible? The person I want to marry has always been Brother Duanmu. I will not marry anyone else!"

Xiao Ruge smiled and said, "You just need to let the princess spread the word. Who told you to really choose a husband and get married?"

Seeing that Princess Jianing didn't understand what she meant, Xiao Ruge said, "You pretended to ask the princess to find someone for you, but in fact you wanted to force Duanmu Ling. If he really has you in his heart, he would not let you marry someone else. Wouldn't it be a natural thing for you two to get married this way?"

This was a good idea, and Princess Jianing immediately became happy.

After seeing Xiao Ruge, she left with Duanmu Ling.

Inside the carriage, Princess Jianing glanced at Duanmu Ling who was riding on horseback outside, and suddenly remembered Zhao Yuanshan, the second son of the Zhao family, who had always had a crush on her. She thought for a moment and lifted the curtain.

"Brother Duanmu, what do you think of Zhao Yuanshan?"

Duanmu Ling was stunned, looked at her puzzledly and asked: "Why are you asking him?"

Princess Jianing looked at him resentfully and sighed, "I am not a child anymore. I have been chasing after you for so many years, but you never even looked at me."

The more Princess Jianing spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Duanmu Ling felt a little embarrassed after hearing this and didn't know how to respond for a moment. Fortunately, Princess Jianing didn't expect him to say anything. She sniffed and let the matter go.

"I've figured it out now. Marriage is not something that can be forced. Since you don't like me, I won't bother you anymore. I'm already eighteen years old, so I should have gotten married a long time ago. My mother mentioned to me a few days ago that General Zhao's youngest son is not bad, so I thought I'd meet him in the next couple of days."

After saying this, she stared at Duanmu Ling without blinking, trying to see if there were any changes on his face.

It was a pity that Duanmu Ling kept frowning and said nothing, and his expression did not change much, so she could not tell anything.

After waiting for a long time without hearing Duanmu Ling say anything, Princess Jianing suddenly became disheartened, lowered the curtain and stopped looking at him.

After returning, Princess Jianing did as Xiao Ruge said and told the eldest princess that she wanted to go on a blind date.

The eldest princess was confused at first. She knew her daughter liked Duanmu Ling, so how could she suddenly change her personality after so many years?

But Princess Jianing just lowered her eyes and asked her mother to spread the news.

The princess had no choice but to make the arrangements. She specially set up a spring banquet in the princess's residence and invited families of the third rank and above in the capital whose children had noble character to attend.

Duanmu Ling naturally also received the invitation. After seeing the invitation, he immediately thought of what Princess Jianing had mentioned to him about Zhao Yuanshan, and his brows instantly furrowed.

Xiao Ruge no longer had the heart to pay attention to what was happening with Princess Jianing and Duanmu Ling. At this moment, she was following Mu Gu to the palace, and Pei Yun was sitting in the carriage behind them.

When the emperor learned that she had woken up, just as they had expected, he immediately summoned them into the palace and sent people to surround the general's mansion.

The carriage stopped at the palace gate, and Eunuch Li personally greeted the two. In order to show the emperor's kindness, he also specially sent a sedan chair to Xiao Ruge.

Xiao Ruge thanked him with a pale face, and with the help of Mu Gu, she sat down "weakly".

Eunuch Li glanced at Pei Yun who was following behind him, flicked his whisk, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Miss Xiao and Doctor Pei, please follow me!"
