The Prince of Jin nodded.
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
While this tactic might work, it's a bit underhanded.
--I'm really afraid that Xiao Mo will crawl out from underground in the middle of the night to settle scores with Prince of Jin.
However, it turned out that these worries were unnecessary.
Because Xiao Pang was not fooled at all.
"Even when you were disoriented, you didn't fall for it?" Tang Zhuyun asked curiously.
"No," said the Prince of Jin.
Although he taught Qiaoniang how to address herself and how to speak, Xiao Pang's joy was fleeting; he quickly realized what was happening and pushed Qiaoniang away.
Whatever the reason, it didn't work out.
Tang Zhuyun said, "I originally thought I could help you, but now I feel that might not be the case..."
She had no better way to deal with a man who couldn't even be won over by psychotropic drugs.
The Prince of Jin reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll talk to him again once he calms down."
Tang Zhuyun knew that he must have talked about it before, but it was no use.
After that, things weren't so optimistic.
The difference is that before it was to investigate the Xiao Family family, now it's to investigate the Prince of Prince of Jin's background.
In comparison, the current need is more urgent.
"Nanny Rong said that although Xiao Pang is a playboy, he has a kind heart. I agree with that," said Prince of Jin.
When he was in the Xiao Family, his relationship with Xiao Pang was not bad.
"His father, Fourth Master Xiao, was deeply favored by our ancestor, so I guess Fourth Master Xiao must know the secret of my origins."
Xiao Pang is the only son of Fourth Master Xiao Pang, so it's highly likely that he knew about it.
Prince of Jin can no longer address Fourth Master Xiao as his maternal uncle.
He desperately wished that he and the Xiao Family had never had any connection.
However, even though he is Bai Lu's son, he still has the blood of the Xiao Family flowing in his veins.
Those who were scheming and selfish, and who mistreated his birth mother, had also once cared for him greatly...
Human nature is never simply black and white, and this cruelty is now deeply tormenting the Prince of Jin.
His feelings toward the Xiao Family were so complex that they were hard to describe.
But all that remained for Xiao Wu was hatred.
Tang Zhuyun understood Prince of Jin's anxiety and secretly thought that she must find a way to help him.
Everyone has the right to know where they came from, and she helped him find what he lacked.
After eating something to fill his stomach, the Prince of Jin left the residence and went to the palace.
Tang Zhuyun sat at her desk, pen in hand, lost in thought.
"Your Highness," Xiu'er snatched the pen from her hand, "If you're thinking, then think properly, don't just sit there daydreaming with that pen in your hand. You've ruined these perfectly good drawings."
Tang Zhuyun is drawing a "design draft".
She wanted to have her own clinic after leaving the capital, even if it was small.
She tried to integrate into this era and help the Prince of Jin fight for power, but in the end, she discovered—
Others had received over a decade more of training in palace intrigue and power struggles than she did, a disadvantage she couldn't match.
Upon closer examination, most of the positive connections she made with the Prince of Jin were related to her medical skills.
If that's the case, why not make the most of your strengths?
I used to worry about people trying to extort money from me, but now that I think about it, she even caused a scene in the palace and assaulted Noble Consort Jia, yet she escaped unscathed, didn't she?
Therefore, Tang Zhuyun decided to officially return to her old profession, to be a good doctor, and to treat being a housewife as a side job.
What actually touched her was the two large bags of dried vegetables she received a few days ago.
These were the disaster victims she had previously treated. After returning to their hometowns and rebuilding their lives, they asked someone to bring them to her at the end of the year.
The gift was simple, but the sentiment behind it was profound.
When she was a doctor in modern times, she never accepted gifts, but some farmers, out of gratitude, would send her various local specialties at the end of the year...
Her grandmother was very happy when she chose to become a doctor.
Grandma said she didn't understand any grand principles, but when she thought about her granddaughter being able to heal the sick and save lives, and being thanked by many people, she felt it was truly remarkable.
For Tang Zhuyun, the desire to be a doctor and the belief in saving lives have never left her.
Now, she sees leaving Beijing as the starting point of her career.
This is her inseparable career.
So now, she's drawing up design sketches for her imagined "studio," taking everything into consideration.
However, she was clearly somewhat distracted at that moment.
"Your Highness, are you worried that Zhou Yanhui might do something to the Prince in the palace?"
Tang Zhuyun was taken aback. No, she hadn't expected Zhou Yanhui.
Oh, right, there's also Zhou Yanhui in the palace, who's disguised as a man and still has feelings for Prince of Jin!
Before she could say anything, Xiu'er said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, you don't need to worry."
Tang Zhuyun smiled and nodded, "I trust Your Highness."
"What are you so sure about!" Xiu'er rolled her eyes. "Never trust a man. If you do, he'll dare to betray you."
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
"You're right, Master is also in the palace today to keep things under control!"
Tang Zhuyun was amused by her, "Yes, you're absolutely right!"
After saying this, Xiu'er suddenly looked a little shy. She rinsed the brush in the brush washer and lowered her head, saying, "Your Highness, if you have nothing else to do, could you please take a look at this?"
What are you looking at?
"Check if I'm pregnant."
Tang Zhuyun laughed and said, "How could it be so fast? Let me calculate your wedding date... If we're talking about something that can be seen now, it would be within the first few days of the wedding!"
"It's hard to say, maybe it's actually true!"
Tang Zhuyun teased him deliberately, "Is Song Jingyang that amazing?"
"If it's going to happen, it's this servant who's capable!" Xiu'er said. "Just like you, you conceived Linlin through your own abilities. The position of Princess Consort is destined to be yours!"
Tang Zhuyun laughed uncontrollably.
While it's true that like master, like servant, can such a decisive strike be imitated?
"Give me your hand!" Tang Zhuyun moved two books over, gesturing for Xiu'er to place her wrist on them.
Xiu'er rolled up her sleeves, revealing a somewhat bulky gold bracelet on her wrist.
The style was from an unknown period, and the gold had turned somewhat black (to avoid confusion: some antique gold is not pure), making it look old and strange.
"Nanny Jing give this to you?" Tang Zhuyun asked.
"Hmm," Xiu'er said, "I won't wear it, it'll look like I dislike it. Although, well, I really do dislike it a little, but I can't let her know."
Tang Zhuyun: "What incredible luck Song Jingyang had to marry you!"
"Not as lucky as the prince."
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
The Prince of Jin, who was talking to Tang Mingfan, sneezed.
Tang Mingfan: "Your Highness, you are fighting despite your illness; it is truly admirable. You are indeed a descendant of a dragon and a phoenix!"
He was referring to the Prince of Jin, who had just defeated the greatest warrior of the Xia Kingdom, bringing glory to his country.
Those of you here are probably all deaf and blind; if you're not honest, you're wicked.
The Prince of Jin performed such a great service, yet no one praised him.
Have all those talkative censors gone silent tonight?
As expected, they were no good.
Those around: Bah! Shameless! Praising your son-in-law like that. The Prince of Jin is tyrannical and capricious; what is there to be proud of?
Tang Mingfan: That's because you're incompetent! Look at the prince, is he violent in front of my daughter?
The Prince of Jin was a little embarrassed by the praise and said, "I just have a sore throat, it's nothing serious."
Tang Mingfan: "Even if you're young, you must take care of your health."
His untimely death means his daughter will be left a widow.
Prince of Jin: "What you say is very true. Please take good care of yourself in the future!"
Tang Mingfan continued to shower him with compliments, making even the thick-skinned Prince of Jin feel a little embarrassed.
He excused himself to change clothes and temporarily left his seat.
