Yiwan was in her room, daydreaming quietly. At this time, Xiaocui and Xiaorong came in and asked, "Miss, are you feeling better today?"

I heard that Zhang Duo came to see you. Miss, you agreed to be Zhang Duo’s concubine. Should we prepare things for the wedding banquet now?

Yiwan was surprised after hearing this and asked, "What did you say?"

What concubine? What wedding banquet?

Xiao Cui also said with a puzzled look, "Miss, have you forgotten everything?"

Yi Wan said with an embarrassed expression, "I may fall into the lotus pond. My brain can no longer remember the past. If I keep thinking about it, my head will hurt a lot."

Xiao Cui and Xiao Rong felt even more distressed when they saw the young lady like this and said, "Young lady, don't think about it. Just ask us whatever you want to know. We grew up together and we know everything about you. We will tell you and you can recall it slowly."

One day I'll remember it.

What Yiwan wanted to know most now was, what did she promise Zhang Duo? She asked anxiously, what was going on between Zhang Duo and me?

Xiao Cui said slowly, "Miss, you promised Zhang Duo to be his concubine a few days ago. You two are childhood sweethearts. You have liked Zhang Duo since you were young. Moreover, the master and Zhang Duo's parents are close friends, so the master and the lady are very optimistic about you and Zhang Duo."

Zhang Duo was the son of the richest man in the capital, but he had no power, so he took the imperial examination to marry you. He finally passed the examination and became the top scholar. The princess took a fancy to him, and the emperor granted the marriage. Everyone in the capital knew about it.

It was because of this incident that you lost your appetite, became depressed, and were sick for several days. Finally, the misunderstanding between you and Zhang Duo was resolved and you said that you would be his concubine. Your health gradually improved. I don’t know why Miss Lin suddenly asked you to go to see the lotus flowers. You didn’t want to go at first, but when you heard that Zhang Duo was going, you happily went to keep the appointment. You didn’t expect it to turn out like this. Miss, do you remember now?

Yiwan was listening to Xiaocui carefully, but she always felt that there was something wrong with Miss Lin. After all, she had watched "Empresses in the Palace" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace". Yiwan sat quietly in her boudoir, the moonlight outside the window sprinkled on her gentle face, adding a bit of mystery to her. Xiaocui stood aside, talking nervously, but Yiwan's mind had already drifted far away.

She couldn't help but think back to her recent interactions with Miss Lin. Although the two seemed to be having a good time, Yiwan always felt that there was an elusive deep meaning in Miss Lin's eyes. Yiwan prided herself on being smart and had watched many palace dramas, so she had a deep understanding of human nature. She couldn't help but start to wonder what Miss Lin's intentions were.

Yiwan frowned slightly, her mind racing. She thought of Zhang Duo, the man who had always loved her deeply. According to common sense, Zhang Duo should have kept the appointment, but he didn't show up. This made her suspicious. Was there really something fishy going on?

After hearing this, Yi Wan felt a chill in her heart, and she couldn't help but re-examine her relationship with Miss Lin. She thought of those seemingly unintentional intimacy and hints, and she couldn't help but feel a little alert.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. They all had an ominous premonition. They walked quickly to the door and opened it. A figure hurriedly walked in. It was Miss Lin's personal maid.

"Miss Yiwan, something terrible has happened!" the maid said breathlessly, "Miss Lin has suddenly fallen ill. She is now unconscious in bed. The doctor said that she needs a rare medicinal herb to be cured."

"What kind of herb?" Yi Wan tried to stay calm and asked calmly. The maid replied hurriedly, "It's a herb called 'Night Pearl', which is very rare and is said to be only available in the imperial palace." Night Pearl? Yi Wan's heart was moved. She had seen this herb in an ancient book. It was said to have miraculous curative effects, but it was also extremely rare. Why did Miss Lin suddenly need this herb? Was she really seriously ill?

Yiwan felt that this was most likely a trap set by Miss Lin to lure them into the trap.
