But seeing how anxious she was, it was impossible to say it was nothing.
You can't do good deeds to this extent...
Ren Yingying looked at Doudou and then at Yuan Yi.
This Yuan Yi is quite a character!
Tang Zhuyun inserted those long silver needles into Doudou's body, one after another. Yuan Yi's hands, hidden in her sleeves, were trembling, but she didn't utter a word.
She rested her chin on her hand, thinking, "Tangbao seems like a tough opponent!"
It's nothing like Qu Nian's backyard, so harmonious.
After Tang Zhuyun finished the acupuncture, she found some medicine and said, "Her condition isn't good. All I can do now is temporarily reduce her fever."
"Okay, thank you, Your Highness," Yuan Yi said, personally taking the strange-sounding pills from Doudou and coaxing her to take them.
Doudou was delirious with fever, but when she opened her eyes and saw Yuan Yi, she was still obedient. She opened her mouth to take the medicine and then fell into a deep sleep again.
Yuan Yi sat on the edge of the bed, tucking the blanket up for her with affection in her eyes.
Tang Zhuyun said, "You need to be mentally prepared. I'm afraid I'm powerless to help this child with his illness."
Yuan Yi's eyes dimmed, and she whispered, "I know, I was prepared..."
However, I am still disappointed and heartbroken.
"Actually, my original purpose in coming to the capital this time was to bring her here for medical treatment. I heard that Her Highness the Princess was a highly skilled physician, like a reincarnation of Hua Tuo, so I came with only a sliver of hope..."
Yuan Yi seemed to quickly compose herself.
"Yuan Han has been overprotected by me since he was a child, so he acts impulsively. The conflict with the Prince was entirely his fault. I'm here to apologize to the Empress and the Prince on his behalf."
She solemnly curtsied.
"Your Highness is too kind," Tang Zhuyun said calmly.
She was still thinking about Doudou's illness.
If she wasn't mistaken, Doudou was suffering from a rare disease...
Even she, I'm afraid, would be powerless to help.
unless--
She no longer doubted Yuan Yi's motives for coming this time, because it would be difficult to deliberately find such a difficult case.
"Your Highness, to be honest, Doudou is my biological daughter."
It was a bombshell.
Tang Zhuyun couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
Ren Yingying was completely stunned.
That doesn't make sense, it doesn't match up.
Wasn't she unmarried because of the Prince of Jin?
So their Zidu this big?
In that case, the Prince of Jin was truly wronged when he was beaten before!
"If there's really no way to save her, as her mother, I only ask that she suffer less..." Yuan Yi was in tears, and finally couldn't help but cover her face with her hands.
Tang Zhuyun handed her the handkerchief without saying a word.
In the face of life and death, any comfort is futile for a mother.
Although she didn't know what Yuan Yi had gone through, as a mother herself, she felt deeply for her.
Yuan Yi didn't really need to expose her shortcomings, but she did anyway.
She probably wanted to gain more sympathy and help.
Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry.
After Yuan Yi calmed down a bit, Tang Zhuyun said, "I did my best, but the outcome is up to fate."
"Thank you very much, Your Highness." Yuan Yi bowed deeply.
Tang Zhuyun said, "Given her condition, she'll have to stay for now. I'll have someone prepare a courtyard for you and your daughter so you can stay for a few days and see how it goes."
After a brief hesitation, Yuan Yi bowed again.
Hanxiang hurried out to have someone tidy up the courtyard.
She cleverly chose a secluded courtyard far from the main courtyard but close to the back gate, making it convenient for her to come and go while also trying to avoid letting Yuan Yi run into the prince.
The yard was quickly tidied up, and Yuan Yi carried Doudou outside, with Tang Zhuyun seeing her off.
Just then, the Prince of Jin returned from outside and they happened to meet.
Ren Yingying snorted.
Is this a tragic fate?
She then carefully observed how Yuan Yi should behave for Tangbao.
When Yuan Yi saw the Prince of Jin, he was only briefly stunned before lowering his eyes and bowing silently.
Prince of Jin, however, only noticed that Tang Zhuyun wasn't wearing an outer garment, and couldn't help but frown, saying, "I told you to wear a garment when you come out, but you always ignore me!"
As soon as he spoke, all the servants in Tang Zhuyun's courtyard knelt down.
--The Princess Consort has been suffering from a cold for several months, but the Prince still thinks about her.
If the Princess doesn't wear more clothes, everyone will be in trouble.
Tang Zhuyun said helplessly, "There are still guests!"
The Prince of Jin glanced at Yuan Yi and her daughter. "Who are these?"
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
She was quite certain that the Prince of Jin was not deliberately trying to embarrass Yuan Yi, but rather that he genuinely did not recognize him.
That's so awkward.
Fortunately, Yuan Yi remained calm and composedly bowed, saying, "Yuan Yi greets Your Highness."
Prince of Jin waved his hand, not taking it to heart at all, "No need for formalities. What are you all standing there for? Bring the Princess Consort her clothes!"
Ren Yingying was dumbfounded.
So this is what the highest level of attack is like?
It seems that even now, the Prince of Jin still doesn't realize who Yuan Yi is, even though she has introduced herself.
She suddenly felt sorry for Yuan Yi.
If Yuan Yi truly loved the Prince of Jin.
Someone has been infatuated with you for years, and all you can think about is your wife not wearing a coat.
Prince of Jin, you're quite something!
Tang Zhuyun felt somewhat embarrassed.
At her age, she's past the age of being competitive, and she doesn't need to resort to suppressing "love rivals" to elevate herself.
It can only be said that the Prince of Jin was too timid; that time he was ill before had frightened Prince of Jin.
"The guest is still here," Tang Zhuyun said. "I'll go back to my room now. Don't you still have things to do in your study?"
The Prince of Jin showed her no respect whatsoever, simply standing there, staring at her like a pillar.
Tang Zhuyun blushed, and having no other choice, she pulled him aside, saying, "Go inside and wait for me."
The Prince of Jin snorted coldly before going inside.
Tang Zhuyun was afraid that he would be even more embarrassed if he brought out more clothes, so she quickly had someone escort Yuan Yi and her daughter out.
Ren Yingying crossed her arms and leaned against the door, saying, "Looks like I'll have to leave too?"
I really don't want to leave!
Yuan Yi has a daughter, but she still doesn't understand the gossip about it!
How could Tang Zhuyun not know what she was thinking? So she said irritably, "Go away, go away, come back tomorrow and I'll tell you."
Ren Yingying put her hands on her hips. "Wait, I'll ask Qu Nian when I get back tonight. Let's compare our answers tomorrow, so we don't get fooled by those scoundrels."
Tang Zhuyun rolled her eyes at her. "I'm not seeing you off."
"Afraid he'll come out and put clothes on you? Haha, that's hilarious! There's only a door separating you; if you come out, he'll put clothes on you, and if you go back in, he'll take them off..."
Tang Zhuyun covered her mouth, wishing she could just kick her out.
Ren Yingying ran away.
Tang Zhuyun then went inside.
The Prince of Jin had already realized what was happening and asked, "What brings Yuan Yi here?"
Tang Zhuyun said, "Her daughter is sick, and she has come seeking medical help."
"Her daughter?" Prince of Jin thought Tang Zhuyun was joking. "Where would she get a daughter? She's not even married..."
"If you hadn't come back, I might have found out soon enough."
It seems there's more to this than meets the eye.
As expected, the Prince of Jin also didn't know.
"She's lying," said the Prince of Jin. "I just returned from Yuan Fang's place, where Yuan Fang lamented to me that she hadn't married yet..."
