She pretended to be calm, but her heart was full of doubts and shock. Ye Mingyuan was a mysterious figure to her, and his identity and background were full of mysteries. And now the Sixth Prince's eyes were so similar, could there be some unknown connection between them?

The Sixth Prince seemed to have noticed something strange about Shen Yiran. He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?"

Shen Yiran quickly lowered her head and said, "Please forgive me, Sixth Prince. I was just distracted for a moment."

Ren Jingzhi tried to smooth things over by saying, "My wife must be a little nervous when she saw the Sixth Prince."

Yu Gongyu laughed: "It's okay, it's okay."

However, Shen Yiran's heart was like a storm, and it took a long time to calm down. Judging from the current situation, Yu Gongyu came here today not because of Lin Bei's message in Lanyue Tower, but because of the order of the Imperial Concubine to send her clothes.

Ren Jingzhi looked at the slightly dazed Shen Yiran and reminded her softly, "Ranran, don't you have something to tell the Imperial Concubine?"

Shen Yiran was slightly startled, then said as if waking up from a dream: "Sixth Prince, the flower viewing banquet will be held in two days. Please tell the Royal Concubine to be careful in the next few days to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the opportunity to plot against her."

Yu Gongyu looked solemn and asked, "What does this mean? Why do you want mother to be careful?"

Shen Yiran lowered her head quickly and said, "Sixth Prince, there are some things that I cannot say at this moment. Please tell the queen about this. She will understand my painstaking efforts."

Yu Gongyu looked deep in his eyes and responded, "I understand your concerns and I will definitely convey them to you. But sister-in-law is so evasive, could it be that this matter involves so many people?"

Shen Yiran looked nervous and said, "Your Highness, I dare not say anything. However, this flower viewing banquet may seem calm on the surface, but in reality, there are undercurrents. I just hope that Your Majesty will be safe and sound."

Ren Jingzhi said at the side: "Your Highness, my wife is really worried. If I have offended you, please don't mind it."

Yu Gongyu waved his hand and said, "Brother Ren, you are being too polite. My sister-in-law meant well, so how can I blame her?"

After saying this, he stared at Ren Jingzhi for a moment and said excitedly: "Brother Ren, you look much better now than the last time I saw you in the palace. Did you find a famous doctor to treat you?"

Ren Jingzhi said with a bit of boasting: "What kind of famous doctor is that? It's just Ran Ran who takes good care of me."

After hearing this, Yu Gongyu's expression changed slightly, and he thought to himself, "Is it really such a coincidence?" Then he turned to look at Shen Yiran and said, "Sister-in-law, do you know medical skills?"

Shen Yiran's face showed a little panic, but she immediately covered it up, "I know a little bit, but my husband is thick-skinned and thick-skinned, so I am more to his liking."

Ren Jingzhi was stunned when he heard this, and almost choked on his saliva. He couldn't help but complain in his heart: Can this woman not speak so ambiguously! What do you mean by more to his taste? This statement is too easy to make people think wrongly!

The two people, each with their own thoughts, did not notice anything unusual about Ren Jingzhi.

At this time, Yu Gong Yuze smiled lightly and said, "My sister-in-law is too modest. To be able to take such good care of Brother Ren, your medical skills must be extraordinary."

Shen Yiran thought to herself, why did Yu Gongyu always try to get her to tell him something, and why did she have to confirm that she knew medicine? Who was she? Why did she try so hard?

Shen Yiran quickly said, "Your Highness, you are joking. I really only know a little bit. It all depends on luck to make my husband recover."

Yu Gongyu's eyes were deep, as if he was exploring. "Little sister-in-law, there is no need to be so modest. If there is any need in the future, I hope you can help me."

Shen Yiran's heart tightened, her palms sweating slightly, and she said, "Sixth Prince, you really misunderstood. I dare not lie to Your Highness."

At this moment, Ren Jingzhi vaguely sensed the secret rivalry between the two, and suddenly remembered that he was so busy showing off that he forgot that Ranran had told him not to publicize her medical skills.

He immediately said to Yu Gongyu: "Sixth Prince, Ran Ran doesn't know any medical skills. I am just happy because I have a lovely wife, so the illness will naturally heal."

Yu Gongyu regained his cynical attitude and said, "Brother Ren, don't fool me. As long as I don't marry, all the girls in the brothel will be my confidantes."

After saying this, his face showed an expression of obsession and intoxication.

However, Shen Yiran's doubts grew deeper and deeper. She always felt that Yu Gongyu was not as simple as he seemed.

Yu Gongyu seemed to be aware of Shen Yiran's scrutinizing gaze, and he coughed lightly and said, "Brother Ren, little sister-in-law, I have something important to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he glanced at Shen Yiran meaningfully, then turned around and strode away. In Shen Yiran's sight, the figure seemed even more mysterious and remote.

After Yu Gongyu came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he went straight to Chuxiu Palace.

"Yu'er, how come you have time to come and see mother today?" The imperial concubine's face was filled with joy and her eyes were full of kindness.

"Mother, today I was asked by you to deliver clothes to my sister-in-law. She asked me to tell you something: 'You must be careful these few days to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of you.'"

Hearing this, the imperial concubine, who was full of joy just now, suddenly became gloomy, her brows knitted, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of surprise and anger. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and her knuckles turned white due to the force.

She thought to herself: This Queen Sun still can't tolerate me. Last time, after Ran Ran helped her change the incense, her body did get better, but she still pretended to be unwell outside. Queen Sun didn't suspect anything and still often sent her poisonous incense.

The Imperial Concubine gritted her teeth, her voice full of resentment, "It was because of my negligence before, but it was Ranran who was careful, otherwise I might not be able to..."

Yu'er was shocked when she saw her mother like this. She hurried forward to hold the Imperial Concubine's hand and comforted her: "Mother, what happened? Can you tell me?"

The Imperial Concubine raised her head and glanced at Yu'er, with a hint of helplessness and panic in her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes: "Yu'er, mother is afraid... afraid that the fight in the harem will implicate you."

Yu'er looked at her mother firmly and said, "Don't worry, mother. I am no longer the child I was back then. I will not let the villain succeed. I will protect you from now on."

The Imperial Concubine took a deep breath, and tried her best to calm herself down, then slowly said, "Yu'er, it's better for you not to know. The less you know, the more protection it will provide for you. But in the days ahead, we all have to be more careful."

Yu Gongyu's heart tightened. He knew very well how difficult and helpless his mother was in this deep palace. He saw her trembling and groveling in fear in order to survive.

His thoughts drifted back to the night his adoptive father died.

It was also at that time that he finally understood that his adoptive father gave him the position of Pavilion Master not simply because he saved his father's life, but because there was another secret that no one knew.
