I traveled through time just for the jade hairpin, I never wanted to be the queen

After He Tingxi and Jian Ye Shen entered the palace, they paid homage to the emperor in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Your son greets his father." He Tingxi nodded while sitting in a wheelchair.

Jian Ye Shen paid great tribute to the emperor by kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

"Your humble servant Jian Ye Shen pays respect to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live His Majesty."

"Doctor Jian, there's no need to be so polite. Please stand up." The emperor said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Jian Ye Shen stood up, he stood beside He Tingxi and lowered his head slightly.

"Please take a seat." The emperor ordered the eunuch in the hall.

The eunuch brought a stool and placed it behind Jian Ye Shen.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jian Ye Shen said this before sitting down.

The emperor looked at Jian Yeshen and said with a slightly apologetic look, "Divine Doctor Jian, I just entered the palace today and I summoned you. I'm really sorry for your hard work."

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. I am a commoner who has come to the capital and it is my duty to come and pay my respects to Your Majesty." Jian Ye said respectfully.

The emperor heard this and said with a smile: "You should come to the palace to see me. I haven't seen you for almost a year. I miss you very much."

"Your Majesty, I am terrified." Jian Ye Shen responded hurriedly.

"A year ago, after I took the medicine you gave me, I never had any stomach discomfort again. Your skills are much better than those of the imperial doctors in the palace. I wanted to keep you in the Imperial Hospital and make you the chief imperial doctor, but it's a pity that you want to retire. I feel that you have wasted your talent."

The emperor recalled what happened a year ago and felt emotional.

"I just want to live in seclusion in the mountains and be a free and easy wanderer. I will never be able to live up to your majesty's kindness." Jian Ye said truthfully.

Upon hearing this, the emperor just sighed and did not try to persuade her anymore. He changed the subject.

"Divine Doctor Jian, I summoned you to the palace today because of Tingxi's matter."

Jian Ye took a deep look at He Tingxi and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want me to cure your leg disease?"

"Well, in early March, Tingxi had an accident and his knees were seriously injured. The imperial doctors were helpless, so we have to trouble you. Can you see if there is any possibility of recovery?" the emperor asked expectantly.

"Your Majesty, before entering the palace, Your Highness told me about this matter. I will definitely do my best to cure Your Highness's leg disease. Please rest assured, Your Majesty." Jian Ye Shen's expression was calm.

"That's great. If you need any precious medicinal herbs, just tell us. We have them all in the palace." The emperor said with a smile.

"Yes."

Jian Ye responded deeply and said nothing more.

Seeing this, the emperor took the opportunity to change the subject.

"Doctor Jian, I have trouble falling asleep recently. Can you help me find the cause?"

"Yes, I will check your Majesty's pulse."

Jian Ye Shen stood up, walked to the emperor, sat down, and took the emperor's pulse.

After taking the pulse, Jian Ye thought deeply for a while before speaking, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician in the palace has already prescribed medicine for Your Majesty, right?"

"Well, the imperial physician came to see me, but there was no effect. I still have trouble falling asleep." The emperor nodded in response.

"Can you show me the prescription written by the imperial physician?" Jian Ye Shen asked tentatively.

"Old Cui, find the prescription." The emperor ordered Eunuch Cui beside him.

"Yes."

Eunuch Cui soon found the prescription and handed it to Jian Ye Shen.

Jian Ye Shen took it, looked at it carefully, and then said, "The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician is indeed for your majesty's insomnia. There is nothing wrong with the prescription. As long as your majesty continues to take it for about seven days, you will slowly get better. But if your majesty wants to recover faster, you can only do acupuncture. A few needles in the head will allow you to sleep well tonight."

The emperor's eyes suddenly lit up. He was overjoyed and said anxiously, "Then I'll have to trouble the genius doctor Jian."

"it is good."

Next, Jian Ye Shen began to perform acupuncture on the emperor's head.

He Tingxi stood aside, watching quietly.

After the acupuncture treatment, the emperor looked radiant and refreshed.

He invited Jian Ye Shen to have dinner in the palace, but Jian Ye Shen refused on the grounds that he was helping He Tingxi with his leg disease.

Upon seeing this, the emperor did not make things difficult for him nor force him. He rewarded Jian Ye Shen with 50 gold coins and let him leave the palace.

At this time, it was only half past the afternoon.

……

However, Ling Xiyue left Prince Yan's Mansion around 3 p.m., and by 3 p.m., Xiaoyin had not seen Ling Xiyue come back yet. She was very worried and went to find Butler Xiao.

When Butler Xiao learned about this, he immediately sent someone to the Ling Mansion to inquire.

When Ling Junqi saw the people from Prince Yan's Mansion, he went to greet them warmly.

When he learned that Ling Xiyue did not return to Prince Yan's Mansion, he was horrified and muttered, "I clearly saw her enter the palace. What happened?"

"I don't know. I only know that the princess is not in the mansion now." The servant reported truthfully.

Ling Junqi suddenly broke out in cold sweat and became scared.

"Let's go back to Prince Yan's Mansion. I'm going to ask the guard at the small gate."

"Yes."

Afterwards, he and his servants went to Prince Yan's Mansion.

When he arrived at the small gate of Prince Yan's Mansion, Ling Junqi immediately got off the carriage and went to ask the guards guarding the gate.

"Didn't the princess go in an hour ago? I saw her go in with my own eyes."

The guard was stunned when he heard this. Then, he said in horror: "Master Ling, isn't that Miss Xiaoyin?"

Ling Junqi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly explained, "No, she is the princess, and she said she had to go to the bathroom urgently, so we chose the nearest place to enter the mansion."

At this moment, the guard's eyes were full of fear, and his voice couldn't help but tremble.

"She, the princess, ran out immediately after seeing Young Master Ling leave. The princess was dressed in ordinary clothes, so I thought she was Miss Xiaoyin and didn't pay much attention."

"She ran out? In which direction?" Ling Junqi asked anxiously, his eyes bigger than copper bells.

"Running in this direction." The guard pointed to the left.

Ling Junqi naturally looked to the left, muttering: "Isn't this the direction we came back from? Could it be that she went to the second..."

Muttering this, Ling Junqi seemed to have guessed something, and he hurriedly walked into the small door.

Seeing this, the servants followed him in.

The guard watched Ling Junqi and the others leave, feeling extremely frightened, and muttered, "We've gotten into trouble now. If anything happens to the princess, I will be held responsible."

At this moment, the guard was depressed and blamed himself.

After Ling Junqi entered the mansion, he found Butler Xiao and told him that Ling Xiyue had run away.

Butler Xiao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Master Ling, you must inform His Highness that the princess is missing," Butler Xiao reminded.

"Yes, we must not hide it. If anything happens to the princess, all of us will be held accountable." Ling Junqi nodded.

Then, he ordered: "Butler Xiao, send someone to inform His Highness first, tell His Highness the truth, and let His Highness make the decision."

"Yes." Butler Xiao replied.

"Also, send the secret guards immediately, follow me, to the vicinity of the Second Prince's residence to look for the Princess. She is very likely to be there." Ling Junqi continued.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Butler Xiao nodded.

"Go quickly, I'll wait for you here."
