Xie Mishuang took out the silver needles from the medicine box and began to give acupuncture to the emperor.

She has a skilled technique, her movements are smooth and fluid, and every stitch is extremely precise.

The imperial doctors were stunned watching on. They had never seen such exquisite acupuncture techniques. They admired Xie Mishuang's medical skills even more, but also felt more terrified.

"Who is this girl...?" an old doctor murmured in a low voice, his eyes full of confusion and fear.

After Xie Mi finished the double acupuncture, the emperor's complexion improved a little and his breathing became steady.

Xuanyuan Yu felt relieved when he saw this. He walked over to Xie Mishuang and asked in a low voice, "What should we do next?"

Xie Mishuang pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness Prince Yu, I will prescribe some medicine. You need to send someone to get the medicine and then give it to the emperor on time. In addition, I will stay in the palace during this period to take care of the emperor personally."

"Okay, everything is up to you." Xuanyuan Yu agreed without hesitation. He was full of trust in Xie Mishuang.

Xie Mishuang nodded, turned around and began to write the prescription.

Xuanyuan Yu took the prescription, looked at it carefully, and then handed it to the guard beside him, ordering: "Go and get the medicine immediately, there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!" The guard took the order and left.

In the Prince Regent's Mansion, Gongsun Hongyun sat on a rosewood chair. "It seems that Xie Mishuang's identity is indeed extraordinary. He is actually a disciple of Divine Doctor Li."

Gongsun Hongyun's voice was low, with a hint of undisguised fear, "Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Yu had long anticipated that I would harm his father, and that's why he came here specifically to find me?"

"Father," Gongsun Shang said, "The imperial physician said that woman could extend the emperor's life by a month. Is this true? Doesn't the Seven Heartbreak Powder only give the emperor seven days to live? Logically, the emperor should be dead in three days."

Gongsun Hongyun sneered, "That's true, but since she's a disciple of Divine Doctor Li, she might actually have a way to prolong the emperor's life. She might even be able to use this time to develop an antidote."

"Then this woman must not be allowed to stay!" Gongsun Shang suddenly raised his head, a fierce look flashing in his eyes, "I will have someone in the palace assassinate her right now!"

"Snapped!"

Gongsun Hongyun slammed his hand on the table and angrily shouted, "How will you accomplish anything in the future if you are so impatient?"

Gongsun Shang was so frightened that he trembled and quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak again.

Gongsun Hongyun took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He walked to the window, looked out at the gloomy sky, and said slowly: "The woman is now guarding the emperor, and the eldest prince's men are also guarding her. We can't act rashly. Don't you have an informant next to the eldest prince? It's time to move that informant."

A sinister glint flashed in Gongsun Shang's eyes, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

In Prince Yi's Mansion, Princess Yi sat in front of the dressing table, holding a piece of paper in her hand, looking hesitant.

The note read: Approach the female physician beside the emperor and assassinate her.

Princess Yi's hands trembled slightly, and she quickly burned the note.

She touched her slightly bulging belly. She had been a spy in the Regent's Palace for ten years. She had thought that there would never be a day when she would be used, but unexpectedly this day had finally come.

For ten years, she carefully concealed her identity and played the role of a virtuous princess, all for this moment.

But the child in her belly...

Princess Yi took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

She stood up, straightened her clothes in front of the mirror, and then led a few maids towards the palace.

Outside the Yangxin Palace, Xuanyuan Yi was pacing back and forth anxiously.

Seeing his princess suddenly appear, he hurried to greet her.

"Why are you here?" Xuanyuan Yi asked with a hint of doubt in his tone.

Princess Yi smiled slightly and said softly, "I was a little worried, so I came to check on him. I heard that my father was seriously ill, so as his daughter-in-law, I naturally have to come and watch over him."

Xuanyuan Yi glanced at Princess Yi tenderly, his tone filled with doting, "It's very kind of you to have this thought, but I don't need you to guard it right now. I've already brought so many people here."

Princess Yi gently stroked her swollen belly, a trace of worry between her brows. "I heard that the doctor who treated my father was a female doctor, and she claimed to be a disciple of Divine Doctor Li. I'm really worried. Tell me, why would Divine Doctor Li accept a woman as his disciple?"

She paused, with a barely perceptible tentativeness in her tone, "What I mean is, women have a harder time in this world than men, and it's not easy to study medicine. Besides, she is still young, so you can't trust everything she says." She lowered her eyelids to hide the gleam that flashed across her eyes.

Over the past ten years, she has learned how to achieve her goals without making a fuss.

Xuanyuan Yi seemed to understand what she meant and said comfortingly, "Don't worry. Actually, there's something that hasn't been announced yet, but it's bound to happen sooner or later. Let me tell you first. In fact, this female doctor is the biological daughter that my father has been looking for for more than ten years. She is also my imperial sister." He straightened his back, a hint of pride in his tone, "So I believe her."

"Daughter of Emperor Xuanyuan?" Princess Yi was stunned, her eyes filled with shock.

Xuanyuan Emperor's daughter! With such an identity, if she really killed her, would she have a way to survive in the future?

The fetus in her belly seemed to feel her nervousness and kicked her gently, reminding her that there were more important things to protect.

Xuanyuan Yi looked at Princess Yi standing there in a daze, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" He reached out to support her, his eyes full of worry.

Princess Yi quickly forced a smile to hide her inner panic. "No, I was just too shocked. I didn't expect that woman to be your sister. That means she's Xuanyuan's only princess. That's great! Can I go meet her?"

She was eager to meet Xie Mishuang, confirm the news with her own eyes, and re-evaluate her next course of action.

Xuanyuan Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take you to see her."

Xuanyuan Yi brought Princess Yi to the Yangxin Palace.

Xie Mishuang was concentrating on flipping through medical books, looking for a prescription for detoxification.

Hearing footsteps, Xie Mishuang raised her head and saw Xuanyuan Yi and a pregnant woman walking in.

The woman was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had elegant manners, but there was a subtle hint of sadness between her brows.

Xie Mishuang stood up and bowed gracefully to Princess Yi. "Brother, this is the eldest sister-in-law, right?"

Princess Yi nodded slightly and replied with a gentle smile, "I didn't expect Princess Xuanyuan to be such a beauty." She looked at Xie Mishuang carefully, trying to read something from her face, "Your Highness, are you sure you can cure father's poison?"

Xie Mishuang shook his head, a hint of regret in his tone, "I'm not completely sure, but it's possible to prolong my life for a while."
