After Dugu Jingyao finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought. At this moment, Shi Jian quietly looked up at the masters and found that Qin Ruyi's expression was not right. She seemed to be in a bad mood, so he gave Dugu Jingyao a look. After receiving the look, Dugu Jingyao also quietly looked at Qin Ruyi and had a plan in mind.

After thinking for a while, he said that he was a little tired and wanted to take a rest, and asked them to go back first. Dugu Jingyue wanted to cry, but Dugu Jingyao saw her dark circles and said, "Be good, go back and rest first. Look at your dark circles. Don't look back. I'm fine and you're falling again!" Dugu Jingyue had no choice but to go back with Zhishu in shame. Seeing that Dugu Jingyao was going to rest, the King of Yunnan watched Dugu Jingyao lie down beside the bed and went back to his own yard first. Qin Ruyi, needless to say, was already feeling guilty. How could she dare to stay here any longer after the King of Yunnan left?

After everyone left, Dugu Jingyao opened her eyes again. At this time, Si Jian also came back and closed the door. Si Jian helped Dugu Jingyao up and Shi Jian put a pillow behind her. Dugu Jingyao asked, "How is it?" Si Jian shook his head, "There is no unusual movement among the servants in the mansion. At most, they are discussing the poisoning of the princess. No one has left the mansion." Dugu Jingyao nodded, "Yes, Shi Jian, tell me." Shi Jian said, "Princess, the most suspicious person among the people who came to your room is Qin Liangdi from their expressions." Si Jian was puzzled, "Ah? Qin Liangdi? What does she want? Does she want to be a princess?" Dugu Jingyao always felt that it shouldn't be Qin Ruyi, or that it might not be her intention to harm herself, so she said to Shi Jian, "Go and check who Qin Liangdi has been in contact with outside the mansion in the past two months." Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Shi Jian, go and check who Qin Liangdi's family has been in contact with in recent months." Shi Jian accepted the task and left.

Elsewhere, in Qingfeng Pavilion, Qin Ruyi, who usually rested on the couch, was now fidgeting. But she remembered that she had done this herself, not by having anyone else do it, and no one should have noticed. She felt a little relieved. To show her care, Qin Ruyi said to Qingzhi, "Qingzhi, go to the warehouse and pick out some good herbs for Princess Yi'an." She emphasized, "You have to deliver them yourself." After saying this, she finally leaned back on the couch, feeling satisfied, and began to look at the account books.

Qingzhi picked out some tonics and took them to Banmengxuan. When they arrived at the entrance of Banmengxuan, a sharp-eyed maid saw Qingzhi and her companions and greeted them enthusiastically, "Sister Qingzhi, why are you here?" Qingzhi was very pleased with her attitude and said, "Oh, nothing much. Qin Liangdi just asked me to bring some tonic herbs to the princess." The maid glanced at the maid behind her carrying a wooden box and ushered her in, "Sister Qingzhi, please wait here. I'll go find Sister Sijian." With that, she ran out, had someone serve tea, and then went to find Sijian. The maid trotted in. Sijian had just come out of Dugu Jingyao's room to close the door and bumped into the maid. Sijian saw her and asked, "What are you so flustered about?" The maid took a breath and said, "Sister Sijian, Sister Qingzhi from Qingfeng Pavilion is here. She said Qin Liangdi asked her to bring the tonic." Sijian said, "I see. You can go down first! I'll be there in a moment." Then he let the maid go first.

It took another cup of tea before they arrived at the front hall. Si Jian immediately put on an embarrassed smile: "Oh, Sister Qingzhi, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!" Qingzhi saw that Si Jian had finally arrived, but seeing that she was smiling, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, so she could only say: "I know Sister Si Jian is busy, so of course I can wait. Besides, the tea in Banmengxuan is delicious. It's okay if Sister Si Jian doesn't think I drink too much!" After a few greetings, Si Jian asked someone to take the things and sent Qingzhi out.

As soon as Qing Zhi and her group walked out of Banmengxuan, their faces immediately fell. They thought to themselves: I have been in the palace for ten years. Since I came to Qin Liangdi's side, I have never been treated so coldly! The little maid behind them was even more angry: "Sister Qingzhi, Si Jian is really too much. Does she think she is so great just because she is the princess's personal maid? The princess will get married sooner or later, and then Qin Liangdi will be the mistress of this family." Qing Zhi said after hearing this: "Keep your voice down, be careful that there are ears on the other side of the wall. If someone catches you and reports it to Princess Yi'an or the prince, you will be punished!"
