……

On the other side, Feng Zihan's room was silent.

"Why don't you take action yet? Do you want to let that woman Shang Qiu Shui snatch it away first?" The system's cold voice sounded in Feng Zihan's mind, with a hint of disappointment.

"So what if she got there first?" Feng Zihan sneered, her tone full of disdain. "My only mission is to give birth to the child. If Shang Qiushui succeeds, it means her drugging method works. That way, I can follow her example without having to go to such lengths."

The system was silent for a moment, as if it was digesting Feng Zihan's words. After a moment, it spoke again, with a hint of appreciation in its tone: "You have a good plan."

"I hope you can complete the task, otherwise, I will completely destroy your soul!" The system's cold voice revealed an undisguised threat, like a sharp blade, piercing Feng Zihan's heart.

At the same time, in Shang Qiu Shui's yard, there was a completely different scene.

"Quick! Bring it in!" Shang Qiu Shui couldn't wait to snatch a small porcelain bottle from the maid's hand, opened the cork, and a strange fragrance came to her nose, making her unable to help but take a deep breath.

"Concubine, this is what you want." The maid lowered her head, her tone a little nervous, "But this medicine is very strong, you must use it with caution."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." A vicious glint flashed in Shang Qiushui's eyes. She tightly grasped the porcelain bottle in her hand, as if holding the key to happiness. "Tonight, I will make the Crown Prince my man!"

……

On the other hand, Xie Mishuang received an invitation from Princess Yong'an to attend the Qujiang Banquet, which was also a celebration banquet prepared for the new Jinshi. Many talented young people and dignitaries would attend the banquet.

The Qujiang Banquet was to be held the day after tomorrow, and her clinic would also open the day after tomorrow. She could not have both, so after weighing the pros and cons, she had no choice but to decline Princess Yong'an's invitation. As a result, Princess Yong'an quickly spread rumors that the Crown Princess looked down on scholars and was unwilling to celebrate with the new Jinshi. The Crown Princess represented the face of the royal family, so the Queen Mother issued an imperial decree, insisting that the heroine go to the banquet.

Xie Mishuang moved up the opening of the clinic to tomorrow and was busy all over the house.

Apart from Qinghe, Aya, Axi and others, no one knew what the Crown Princess was busy with.

At this time, a fragrant breeze blew by, and Feng Zihan walked into Zhicao Hall slowly.

She was wearing a light pink dress today, her long black hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin, and she had a perfect smile on her face, looking gentle and lovely.

"Your concubine pays homage to the Crown Princess." Feng Zihan bowed gracefully with an elegant posture and a soft voice.

Xie Mishuang put down the grinding mortar in his hand, raised his head and looked at Feng Zihan, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Why is Concubine Feng here? Please stand up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feng Zihan stood up and glanced at the medicinal herbs in the room, with just the right amount of surprise on her face. "Your Majesty, what are you doing...?"

"Oh, I have nothing to do, so I like to tinker with some herbs." Xie Mishuang smiled faintly, not revealing too much.

Feng Zihan covered her mouth with a chuckle, then said sincerely, "I heard that Your Majesty is about to open a clinic, and will also treat female jealousy. I admire you very much, so I came to see you."

Xie Mishuang became even more confused. She had never announced to anyone that she was going to open a clinic, and she repeatedly told Ah Xi and the others to keep it a secret.

How could Feng Zihan know?

"How did Concubine Feng know that I was going to open a clinic?" Xie Mishuang asked doubtfully.

Seeing that Xie Mishuang didn't believe it, Feng Zihan showed an expression of "I understand" and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is no need to hide it. I understand everything. I just want to help you. After all, opening a clinic is not an easy task. It is always good to have one more person to help."

Feng Zihan thought that she only wanted to have the prince's child, not to steal his heart, so she was not a love rival of the heroine. Besides, the heroine's future achievements and reputation were very good. If she clung to her, wouldn't she also benefit from it in the future?

Feng Zihan saw Xie Mi looking at her strangely and quickly added, "I can read faces and tell fortunes. I have calculated that Your Majesty will become a great doctor in the future, benefiting the people and leaving her name in history!"

Didn't the ancients all love to believe this? She just made it up and there is no way to verify it.

Xie Mishuang laughed, half believing and half doubting what she said, but it was true that opening a clinic would cost a lot of money, and the initial publicity would also require money. Having an extra helper would not hurt, but one still needed to be careful.

"If Concubine Feng truly wishes to help, I welcome your help." Xie Mishuang put down the grinding mortar in her hand. Her slender fingers, with distinct joints, looked even whiter against the backdrop of the medicinal herbs. "However, opening a clinic is no joke. The initial investment is huge, and it will probably be difficult to make a profit in a short period of time. If you want to buy shares, I can only give you 10%, no more. Is this acceptable to you?"

Feng Zihan sneered in her heart, only 10%? This woman is quite defensive!

Her face remained expressionless, instead revealing a sincere expression that said, "I don't care about money." "Your Majesty, you're joking. I don't care about profits. I just want to find something to do in this mansion. I'll take it as it comes."

"That's great." Xie Mishuang nodded, not letting down his guard because of Feng Zihan's words.

Feng Zihan exchanged a few casual words with Xie Mishuang, then stood up and said goodbye.

Xie Mi watched Feng Zihan leave with a hint of deep thought in his eyes.

Feng Zihan is the eldest daughter of the Feng family. She has been living a life of luxury since childhood and is a model of a lady from a noble family in the capital. However, those ladies who live a life of luxury are all arrogant and generally discriminate against businessmen, so she doesn't believe that Feng Zihan just wants to buy shares.

However, now she has no way to investigate Feng Zihan.

In her previous life, she always used Ouyang Zheng's people to do things. After all, it was a transaction, so it was convenient to talk.

If she were to ask Ouyang Jing for the person directly now, what reason would she use?

After finishing the work at Zhicaotang, Xie Mishuang went to the study. Ouyang Jing was handling official business. When he saw her come in, he put down the pen in his hand and looked up at her, "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, I would like to ask if you can transfer some manpower to me?" Xie Mishuang said straight to the point.

Ouyang Jing didn't ask why, but directly asked, "How many people do you need? What kind of people? Men or women?"

Xie Mishuang was taken aback by his question, and then felt a little embarrassed, "Well... Your Highness, please make the arrangements as you see fit. About three or five people will be enough, preferably those who can gather intelligence."

"Okay." Ouyang Jing nodded and agreed readily.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xie Mishuang said quickly with a smile.

"Your Highness, won't you ask me what I want to do?" Xie Mishuang did not answer directly, but asked back.
