The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Shui Xin had no choice but to enter the royal villa as a maid, but Xiao Qin had to beg her aunt for help to get in.

Aunt Yao looked at Xiaoqin with a complicated look.

Because Xiaoqin threatened her with death, saying that if she didn't help send her in as a maid, she would just jump into the river herself.

She said she didn't want to leave Shui Xin and wanted to have a companion with her. The two sisters could take care of each other.

Aunt Yao is somewhat selfish.

If her daughter had not gone in, she would have firmly disagreed, but her daughter had gone in as a maid, and Xiaoqin said that they could take care of each other, which really made her feel moved.

Most importantly, my brother and sister-in-law didn't object. They just said honestly and dully, "Listen to her. As long as Xiaoqin is willing, it's fine."

In their village, everyone still thinks that being able to work as a maid in the royal villa is a great honor, and many people envy them.

So, my brother and sister-in-law didn't object much.

Zhou Shiyue did not ask Aunt Yao as most people thought: Why don’t you come to me for help?

If he took action, no one would dare to covet Shui Xin.

He could roughly understand Aunt Yao's thoughts without asking.

I don't want to trouble him. And who knows how long this protection will take?

So Zhou Shiyue asked:

"Since you want them to be maids, why don't you think of sending them to the palace?"

Being a maid in Prince Jin's mansion is much safer than being in the royal villa, right?

Aunt Yao hesitated for a moment and glanced at Aunt Qing.

Nanny Qing was also an old lady in the palace. She could roughly understand why this happened after thinking about it.

However, she felt that Xiaoyao was thinking too much.

"Your Highness, I just don't dare to disturb you."

When Madam Qing heard what Aunt Yao said, she whispered to Zhou Shiyue, "Your Highness, we'll discuss the reason later."

Zhou Shiyue hummed.

"I have matters to attend to. Aunt Yao rarely comes to the capital, so she will stay at the palace for now. The authorities will inquire about their affairs later, so she cannot leave the capital for the time being. If you need anything, please consult the housekeeper or Nanny Qing."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Aunt Yao and her family were very happy. Being able to stay and accompany their daughter was already a big surprise for them.

Aunt Yao actually wanted to see the prince more.

Zhou Shiyue went out and said to Qinglin, "Send a few people to watch them."

Watching them is mainly for protection in case anything happens to them.

"Go to Huaiyuan to find Miss Rong and buy some more amulets. Let them wear them first."

"Yes."

Just as Zhou Shiyue was about to get on the carriage to do his business, he saw the Fu family's carriage coming over. It was obviously coming to the palace.

"Your Majesty, the old man is here."

When Doctor Fu arrived and saw Zhou Shiyue standing at the gate, he was stunned for a moment, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, are you going out? I came at the right time. If I had been a step later, my trip would have been in vain."

Zhou Shiyue noticed that there was a hint of sadness between the old man's brows, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

"What happened?"

It is obvious that Dr. Fu has been in a good mood in the past year. He is said to be cheerful every day. The only thing he is worried about is the marriage of his grandson Fu Cheng. He is thinking about having four generations living under the same roof.

I haven't seen him look so serious in a long time.

"Your Highness, let's talk in your study," said the old doctor.

Zhou Shiyue turned around and went back in.

After sitting down in the study, the old doctor waved his hand and said to Zhou Shiyue's questioning look, "Your Highness, let me hesitate a little longer."

Zhou Shiyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Why don’t you tell me now that everyone is here?

If I swallow my words now and tell him that there is nothing wrong, will he let Fu Lao go?

However, he did not urge Fu Lao.

"Oh, this matter is really..." Doctor Fu began with a rather heavy sigh.

"Your Highness, yesterday, Concubine Yu brought the Fifth and Fifth Princesses to the Fu family."

"Ok?"

Zhou Shiyue raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue. At the same time, he immediately thought about the information about Yupin.

Yupin's father is Yu Feng, the Minister of Justice. He used to have some friendship with Lin Rong. He is a...

Zhou Shiyue was suddenly stunned because he couldn't remember what Yu Feng's personality was like.

Logically speaking, he had a general understanding of the people holding the positions of the six ministers and six vice ministers. With his good memory, he could remember their general temperaments and ways of dealing with people.

But now when he thought of Yu Feng, he didn't have much impression. He thought about it carefully again, and then he remembered a memory point -

Yupin's personality is quite similar to her father's.

As soon as he realized this, Zhou Shiyue sat up straight.

Because he wrote down this memory point, it means that Concubine Yu must have received careful teaching from Minister Yu.

As for the fifth princess, Zhou Shiyue also remembered that she was quiet and a little sickly.

"Did they leave the palace to take your pulse?" Zhou Shiyue asked.

If the concubines and princesses in the harem were truly ill, they should consult the imperial physician. However, the old doctor was a special case, so if they wanted to see him, they should first ask the emperor for permission and summon him to the palace.

What Fu Lao said just now meant that he had not received the summons in advance, and that Yupin brought the fifth princess directly out of the palace to find him at Fu's house.

"Yes. Concubine Yu asked me to take the Fifth Princess's pulse and examine her eyes to make sure her childhood eye disease is completely healed."

"The results of it?"

"Actually, I've already seen the Fifth Princess when I was still serving as the Imperial Physician," the old doctor frowned and said, "but at that time, Concubine Yu wouldn't let me take her pulse, so I only looked at her eyes."

At that time, the King of Jin was not in the capital, but had gone out to travel. He was still a teenager.

Although he was meticulous and secretly kept an eye on the goings-on in the palace, he still didn't investigate much of the harem. If he really wanted to pay attention, he would focus more on the Empress and the Concubines.

He knew that the fifth princess Zhou Ruan had an eye disease, but he didn't know how it had been examined.

Now hearing what Mr. Fu said, Zhou Shiyue instantly realized that something was wrong.

How can you ask someone to see a doctor without taking their pulse?

"It's not that I'm forcing you not to take her pulse. At that time, the Fifth Princess' wrist was injured." The old doctor frowned and thought again, "So we can't touch it. I mentioned that we should wait until the wrist injury heals before taking her pulse. Eye disease may not be limited to the eyes, so a comprehensive examination is necessary."

"But Concubine Yu, by the way, Minister Yu was also there. They all agreed, but they never sent me there again. I even brought up this matter when I met Minister Yu, but he just casually said a few words and avoided the subject."

Of course, he didn't pay any more attention to the matter later.

Being an imperial physician in the palace means having a lot of things to do every day, and you also have to be vigilant at all times and be careful in what you say and do. One mistake could lead to beheading.

Of course, the imperial physician did not dare to ask too proactively about the fifth princess's question.

"How is Zhou Ruan's eye disease?" Zhou Shiyue asked.

"Because I couldn't take his pulse, I could only say it was a superficial problem. He was indeed afraid of the light, had uncontrollable tears, and had redness and burning sensation."
