The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

The silver hairpin fell to the ground with a sound of plop.

Liang Chongyue was close enough to Yun Sanqi that he could hear the word "no" uttered in panic from her throat.

It seems that her mother is really important to her, otherwise she wouldn't care so much about this silver hairpin.

After all, it's made of silver, how could it break just by falling?

As soon as the silver hairpin fell to the ground, Ping An quickly picked it up:

"I was stupid and didn't catch it. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Liang Chongyue glanced at Yun Sanqi out of the corner of her eye and saw that her mind and eyes were completely focused on the silver hairpin, with no other thoughts on anything else.

From an angle she couldn't see, Ping An saw His Highness's satisfied smile.

As expected, although His Highness has grown up, he still likes to play tricks on people like he did when he was a child.

"It's just a silver hairpin that no one wants. There's nothing to punish me for. Just be quicker next time."

After saying that, Liang Chongyue pulled his loose outer robe closer. Although it was already summer, it was still a little cold at night, not to mention that it was underground.

"Since Lady Yun doesn't appreciate it, Your Highness should go up earlier. It's very cold down there. Your Highness has a weak constitution, so don't get cold again."

Yun Ling straightened the robe for His Highness, but still felt it was too thin.

Yun Sanqi cannot be asked about this. She is still hiding beside the emperor. The face given by His Highness is enough to make it look real. Sooner or later, he will be able to find out the secret of Lady Yun. There is no need to rush. His Highness's health is the most important thing.

"That makes sense, then let's go."

Liang Chongyue stretched out his hand, and with the support of Yun Ling, he seemed to have forgotten to cover Yun Sanqi's mouth, and raised his foot to leave.

"Your Highness, please don't leave. I am willing to tell you... I am willing to tell you."

As expected, Liang Chongyue raised her little foot, changed direction, and walked in front of Yun Sanqi in one step.

Ping An had also considerately moved the chair behind her so that she could sit down at any time.

"Wouldn't it be better if you agreed earlier? We are all girls born by our parents, and this princess doesn't like to torture people."

Liang Chongyue sat on a chair, her delicate and lively eyebrows curved, her head supported by her hands, waiting to hear the story.

Yun Sanqi looked at the high and mighty Princess. The woman she once admired the most had changed from her usual elegance and grace and was sitting in front of her without any manners. The crisp sound of the silver hairpin falling to the ground just now almost broke her heart.

However, Her Royal Highness the Princess said that she did not like torturing people, and her methods were indeed much gentler than those of the Third Prince. She just tied her up and kept her from seeing the light of day. Compared with those days in the water dungeon, this was much better.

"Let's get started. This princess is looking forward to your story. If you tell it well, I will take you to meet the owner of this silver hairpin."

The bait thrown by Liang Chongyue was absolutely attractive to Yun Sanqi.

Looking at Yun Sanqi's eyes getting brighter and brighter, I knew the fish had taken the bait.

When Yun Sanqi thought about seeing her mother again, her mind suddenly froze. She thought that she would never have another chance after entering the palace.

The Third Prince was cruel and ruthless. She never believed what he said. She was afraid that once she completed her mission, she would be separated from her mother forever.

Unexpectedly, the first person to discover her secret after entering the palace would be Her Royal Highness the Princess, whom she had admired since childhood. Her Royal Highness was well-connected in the capital and might have already discovered the clues. She also had a superb skill in face-changing and was willing to take her out of the palace to see her mother.

Tears flickered in Yun Sanqi's eyes, but she was stubborn and refused to let them fall.

"Is what Your Highness said true? I... no, can this servant really still see the owner of this silver hairpin?"

Yun Sanqi looked humble and spoke in a pitiful tone, but her big eyes still held a firmness and wildness that could not be concealed.

Like a kitten raised in the woods, she has a small body and low fighting power, but her eyes are always alert to everything around her, protecting her from disaster after disaster.

What a pity, it looks like the kitten met the wrong person and got cheated.

"This princess always keeps her word. The story must be told properly without any adulteration. Otherwise, you will be the one collecting the body of the owner of this silver hairpin."

Under the princess's gaze, Yun Sanqi was a little afraid to look into His Highness's eyes. His Highness looked too much like the Emperor. When he was quiet, the indifference in his eyes was exactly the same.

Yun Sanqi turned his face away, thinking of the past events, and felt a little nervous. He thought for a long time before he figured out what to say.

Her bound hands were unable to clench, so she could only silently encourage herself. This was her last chance. Whether she could escape the Third Prince's control depended on whether her words today could satisfy His Highness.

"Your Highness should already know that I was originally a young medical girl from a village near the Royal Court. One day, while out collecting herbs, I encountered the severely injured Third Prince... I was afraid my family would gossip, so I dragged him to an abandoned temple nearby and brought him food and medicine every day. After I cured the Third Prince, I don't know how my father got to know about the temple, and he was forced by my father and the elders in the village to marry me..."

Liang Chongyue didn't expect that there was a twist of love involved. Based on her understanding of Liang Chongzhen, this idiot was probably directing and acting in a play just for this miraculous young doctor.

No wonder as soon as he arrived in Beijing, he sent people to slaughter everyone in the village overnight. I'm afraid that the hatred has been accumulated for a long time and he has wanted to do this for a long time.

"I'm not afraid of your Highness laughing at me. I learned this medical skill from a crazy old man. When I didn't have any medical skills, my father wanted to marry me off as soon as possible so that he could get a lot of money and find wives for his brothers. When I finished my studies, I accidentally saved a wealthy family in the village and got some money. My father treated me better than all my brothers. He wanted to keep me at home for the rest of my life, so that I could earn money to support the family and become an old maid who couldn't get married."

"So when they caught you two alone in a room, they thought of finding you a live-in son-in-law, and ideally, a son who would pass on the medical skills to you and make money for them for the rest of your life?"

Liang Chongyue's eyes were deep, but fortunately the light in the darkroom was dim, so no one could see the white veins on her clenched fists.

"Yes. Later, the Third Prince said his family owned a hundred acres of fertile land. When we first met, he was covered in wounds and had been framed by the younger members of his clan. He said he wanted to take me away and live a free life."

"My mother heard this and helped us escape from the village. She took me to a wealthy family with green bricks and green tiles. She said I was his private property and asked me to stay there first. She said she would take me back after he solved the problem in the clan."

"He wanted to learn my medical skills, and I taught him a lot. However, I was reluctant to teach him the most obscure and difficult parts of the medical skills because they would harm his body. After a few times, perhaps because he felt I was useless, he turned against me and locked me up in the dungeon. He threatened my mother's life and forced me to develop various pills. He also captured many people to test their efficacy. The underground of that room was filled with those who died while testing the drugs."
