Sikong Canxue paused while drinking tea and admitted, "Yes."

"Ah! How come that miracle doctor seems to have forgotten you?" Han Chi blinked and looked at his cousin, his face full of confusion.

Sikong Canxue: “….”

Why else?

Maybe, probably, it's because I always tease him, so I'm not liked by others.

...and perhaps also because of my ruthless behavior back then!

It's no wonder that she had never expected that there would be a day when she would ask him for help, and that there would be a time when they would no longer be at loggerheads. Even Sikong Canxue had to sigh that things in the world are unpredictable!

This question was difficult to answer, so Sikong Canxue could only change the subject, "Grandma hasn't come back yet?"

"It wasn't there when we got here." Han Chi shook his head. "By the way, cousin, where have you been?"

"Of course I went to watch a show." Sikong Canxue curled her lips slightly with an unknown smile.

Han Chi realized what was going on as he thought, "What has the eldest princess done?"

"What else can that idiot do? He is just visiting brothels in secret. In fact, he and his followers are discussing how to kick me out of the competition for the crown prince."

"The matter of appointing a crown prince is imminent, so naturally all the princesses can't sit still."

Sikong Canxue chuckled softly, her voice calm and peaceful.

"Then about my cousin, will it be..." A sharp look flashed across Han Chi's eyes and his expression was solemn.

Sikong Canxue shook her head. "Although I don't know why Ruoruo fell into a coma, my intuition and the information obtained by the secret guards tell me that it was not them, and they are not stupid enough to that extent."

After all, although Ruoruo is very important to her, it is herself who can threaten them. If she wants to harm someone, she will only harm her. How could she harm a man who has nothing to do with the crown prince?

Doing this will only result in more harm than good!

Also.

Han Chi frowned and thought about it, feeling that he was overthinking.

Putting that aside, she asked in a low voice, "So what do we need to do?"

"What to do?" Sikong Canxue stood up and walked behind the screen to see his brother, "We don't have to do anything."

"My grandmother commands a large army and has a great reputation. My aunt has also made many military achievements. The Queen Mother has long been wary of her, which means she will not make me the Crown Princess. So what is there for us to fight about?"

"At least for now, smart people won't set their sights on me. Only Sikong Qianrou, that idiot, is around. As the daughter of the Phoenix Lord and the eldest daughter of the Queen Mother, she is already surrounded by tigers and wolves, but she still keeps setting her sights on me. I am being lenient when I say she is stupid."

"You have something else to discuss but you went to the brothel. You said that the brothel is yours and it's reliable, but you went to my territory. You must be afraid that the walls are deaf and others don't know about their conspiracy!"

Sikong Canxue said quietly, "Sometimes I feel that this person is like a chamber pot, with a big belly but no brains. Although it is filled with water every day, it does not know whether it is clear or turbid."

Han Chi: “…”

Is this what you call showing mercy?

It’s a good thing that this doesn’t make people angry to death.

Han Chi's mouth twitched. He saw her sitting on the edge of her cousin's bed and touching his forehead with her hand. It was the same as before, with no changes.

On the other side, Yan Yunqi and the other two were taken to a quiet courtyard by the housekeeper.

Various rare flowers are planted in the courtyard, with a faint fragrance. The cobblestone path leads to an elegant attic, surrounded by rockery, flowing water, green trees and pleasant scenery.

There are many servants in the princess's mansion, but they are unusually quiet. Everyone is well-trained and does their job efficiently.

"The scenery of this courtyard is breathtaking, and the environment is quiet and elegant. Thank you, Fifth Princess, and the butler for arranging such a comfortable resting place for us." Yan Yunqi looked at the butler and nodded to express his gratitude.

The housekeeper chuckled, "You are too polite, Divine Doctor. You are here for His Majesty the Ninth Prince, so you are the master's honored guest. And these are all my duties."

As he spoke, he led us into the room. Looking around, the whole house was simple and elegant, comfortable and spacious, and had everything we needed.

The housekeeper said, "Godly doctor, please take a rest. If you need anything, just send someone to let me know."

Yan Yunqi nodded, "Okay, housekeeper, go and get busy!"

So the butler stopped disturbing him, turned around and left, continuing to busy himself with the affairs of the mansion.

Ming Yu behind him watched the butler leave, his brows slightly frowned. It seemed that his master was right. It turned out that the owner of the Shadow Tower, Yan Yu, was actually the princess of the Minxi Kingdom.

She had been hostile to the young master before because of her master, but she didn't expect that they were now on her territory.

Ming Yu was a little worried, "Sir, it might be dangerous for you to stay here."

Even Ke Shu, who was standing by, came back to his senses from his surprise.

Speaking of which, fortunately he had experienced so much with the young master along the way, and he had experienced it before. It turned out that the real identity of that Miss Ming was actually the Emperor of Daqi. Ke Shu was shocked at the time, and it took him several days to recover.

Also because of Miss Ming, oh, it should be because of the emperor's matter, so when he learned that the real identity of Master Yan was the fifth princess of Minxi, he was not so shocked.

After hearing what Ming Yu said, he couldn't help but look at his own master worriedly, "Master—"

Knowing that they were worried, Yan Yunqi shook his head and comforted them, "Don't worry too much. Although we are entrusted by General Zhongyong, she is the one who needs me now, so she dare not do anything."

"As for the future, let's see if she is ungrateful or I show mercy."

He can save the Ninth Prince, or he can kill people silently.

As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of murderous intent flashed across Yan Yunqi's eyes.

Ever since the incident on the snowy mountain and everything he encountered along the way, he deeply felt that this was an era of imperial power where people were cruel and ruthless, and human life was disregarded.

Therefore, he will no longer be merciful to those who want to hurt him.

After listening to the young master's thoughts, Ming Yu was silent for a moment and nodded.

Having followed the young master for so long, she knew that he made his own decisions on everything. Although she was worried, she obeyed all his decisions.

In this case, she must always protect the young master.

Well, I have to inform the master!

In this way, Yan Yunqi and the other two settled down in the Fifth Princess's mansion.

On the second day, with Sikong Canxue's consent, he used a silver needle to take a few drops of blood from the ninth prince's fingertips for research.

It was also at this time that he discovered that there was a small cut that had not yet healed completely on the inner side of the Ninth Prince's right index finger near the middle finger.

Can't help but wonder?

As a noble prince, how come it’s been more than half a month and your small cut hasn’t healed yet?

Yan Yunqi certainly wouldn't think that this had only appeared in the past few days. If anyone dared to hurt the Ninth Prince while he was unconscious, there might be something wrong with someone in this mansion!

If it wasn't caused during the coma, then it must have happened half a month ago.

However, he put this trivial matter at the bottom of his heart. For now, he should study his blood first.

At noon, Yan Yunqi was still studying in the room where he lived.

In the main hall, a male official from the imperial palace came to the Fifth Princess' residence and said respectfully to Sikong Canxue, who was sitting at the top, with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, the Emperor ordered me to come and tell you that he missed you, so he asked us to take you back."
