The news that the wife of the Wind City Wolf Tribe had moved into the Regent's Palace spread throughout Wanjing City in an instant. While Lan Ning was looking for a way to rescue her, the court was discussing whether Jing Ye had been won over by Lan Ning.

Every day, many people squat in the Regent's Palace to keep an eye on the situation and gather information.

The servants at the door were not too surprised. Ever since the young prince moved in, their mansion has been very lively. The minister in front knocks on the door day and night, and the generals in the back come to the gate to report for duty and stand guard every morning and evening, and they are much more punctual than those who go to court.

As for those who came to inquire about the news? The regent said that he would ignore them all.

They are very busy in their house!

Xuan Heng arranged Yumo and her daughter to stay in Zhaoyue Pavilion next to Narcissus Pavilion, and then invited the best doctor in Wanjing to accompany Lan Ning for treatment.

"You mean, we can't use elixirs?" The old doctor with a white beard widened his eyes when he heard this. "But how can we protect this child's heart without elixirs?"

Lan Ning explained: "Can the child survive by using the elixir? Or can you let this child who can't even speak learn the Flowing Technique?"

There is definitely no way.

The old doctor stroked his beard, looking embarrassed. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in all his years of practicing medicine.

The beastmen have been using this method to save children for hundreds of years. Lan Ning suddenly said this, and it was no wonder that the old doctor hesitated. She sighed, "You also treated my injuries, and you know the situation best. Let me ask you, what is the biggest difference between me and this child?"

The old doctor said: "Your inner elixir is damaged, and your meridians are broken. This boy's inner elixir is intact, but his meridians are... fragile."

Lan Ning continued: "What is the effect of the elixir?"

The old doctor suddenly realized, "Protect the inner elixir and nourish the meridians, but most of the spiritual medicines nowadays have the function of increasing cultivation... Children are born without the ability to circulate the Dharma, they cannot use the power of the inner elixir, so..."

So the power accumulated too much led to leakage and destroyed the meridians, but they kept using elixirs to prolong the lives of the children. This was equivalent to their ignorance, killing so many children?

The old doctor's face changed instantly, "How did you know this?"

Lanning pointed to his ears and said, "Hear and see."

Staring at the beautiful pair of heterochromatic eyes, the old doctor let out a long breath, "I originally thought that the legend was just nonsense, but after seeing you, I suddenly realized that it was true. Your Highness, please rest assured that I will do my best to save the lives of Yumo's wife and the young lady."

However, Yan Xuan, who hurried to the palace that day to ask the empress to take care of her young daughter, did not have such good luck. She did not expect that the empress was also bedridden. She could only use elixirs to prolong her daughter's life temporarily and look forward to the arrival of the hair-raising banquet.

When Yan Xuan saw Fu Rou, who was also pregnant, she bowed respectfully. This was how these princesses should behave when seeing her.

She thought of Lanning who had been rude to her on Long Street.

"It's a pity that you can't be the only princess of Wanjing anymore." Yan Xuan said sarcastically. She had heard a lot about what happened in Wanjing City. She never expected that the respectful and docile niece in front of her would do those things.

Furou pulled the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, "I am very happy that Wanjing still has a princess with different eyes alive."

Yan Xuan stared at her. She had lived longer than Furou and had seen more of the world than Furou. How could she not see Furou's hypocrisy? "That's not true. I don't want to care about what you have done, but I look forward to the day when you become the princess."

Furou paused, she lowered her green eyes calmly, hiding the calculations and ambitions in her eyes, "Those with heterochromatic eyes are messengers of God, who can protect the prosperity of the world. I don't have heterochromatic eyes, so I can't be a princess."

Yan Xuan snorted coldly, "You are not, but your child can be. As for that person... I won't let her live too long."

She is born noble, no one can ignore her!

Narcissus Pavilion.

With Lan Ning's help, the dying child finally recovered, which made Yu Mo and the wolf tribe who followed him very happy.

"If I hadn't met you this time, both the child and I would have been in great danger." Yumo would say this every day. She gently stroked the child's forehead, "I really don't know how to thank you."

Lan Ning shook his head. "It's just a piece of cake."

It was after she listened to Wanmei Xiaoliu's advice that she thought of giving it a try. Even if she couldn't do it, there were so many medicines in the mall, and there must be one that could save her.

This also concerns her overall strategy!

Yu Mo looked at Lan Ning's scarred face, and there was more pity in her gentle eyes. She was terrified when her son Jing Ye went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, not to mention that her own child was locked up and tortured, which would be a death sentence for her.

She stared at the scars on Lan Ning's face in a daze, which made Lan Ning misunderstand. "Don't worry too much. The doctor said that these will all be fine."

Yumo came back to her senses and felt even more heartbroken when she heard these words. Her physical injuries healed quickly, but what about the pain in her heart?

Like Jing Ye, his face was injured during the first Eastern Expedition, and his wife hasn't noticed him for so many years. The boy said he didn't mind, but he couldn't let it go in his heart.

Lan Ning continued, "Having scars on my body is not something that is difficult to talk about. Besides, those who are not afraid of me or blame me in this state...maybe they can understand the hatred in my heart better!"

Orc women attach great importance to their appearance and will get angry if there is even a small flaw. However, Lan Ning is different from them. She is very free and easy in her behavior and speech, which makes Yumo feel that every time he talks to her, he will change his opinion of her.

Perhaps, she could also understand Jing Ye.

"Your Highness, what do you think of my son Jingye?" Yumo tried to matchmake for the two children. During the time she lived in the Regent's Mansion, she could see that Xuan Heng was concerned about Lan Ning. Although Xuan Heng concealed it in front of her, she was an experienced person after all, and she discovered Xuan Heng's plans from many clues.

Lan Ning: “???”

How come this started as an assist?

She hadn't thought about how to answer this question. Whenever she met Jingye these past few days, Yumo or Xuanheng was present. When they spoke alone, they were just greetings between superiors and subordinates. After all the hard work, her favorability only increased by five points.

Moreover, that man was a very serious person. Xuan Heng said that ministers could not enter the princess's boudoir casually, but Jing Ye really refused to enter. After finishing his official business, he stood guard at her door diligently, day after day without stopping, and no one could persuade him to leave.

Lan Ning blinked her eyes. The Fu Ji Banquet was just around the corner. Xuan Heng had been busy in the palace these past two days. Wouldn't this be a perfect opportunity for her to improve his favorability?

"He's a great guy! Strong and handsome, and he's also a great general who protects the country. He looks very safe." Lan Ning said.

She wasn't making this up, she really thought Jing Ye was a handsome hunk, like the double-door handsome guys that were popular on little girls' phones in those years. The scar on his right eye made him look even sharper and wilder.

But he was a very serious and rigid person, always following the rules. Seeing this, she wanted to tease Jingye many times. However, because Xuan Heng was present and she was afraid that some people would get jealous, she had to keep this thought deep in her heart.

Now that we have the opportunity, how can we not seize it?

[Jing Ye's favorability +3, total favorability: 23. ]
