Wei Zhongren wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, I have taken your pulse and it is true. As for your leg, I will have to see Dr. Jiang before I can give you an answer."

Fu Ming pondered for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll ask Jinzhong to summon Divine Doctor Jiang to the palace, and we'll meet Divine Doctor Jiang together."

As soon as he finished saying this, Fu Ming felt something was wrong.

He shook his head and said, "No! The fact that Yu'er can cure it cannot be spread out. Doctor Jiang cannot come to the palace now."

Fu Ming turned to look at Jinzhong and said, "Go and make arrangements. I will go out of the palace to visit Yu'er tomorrow. Ask Yu'er and the others to call Dr. Jiang in advance. I will meet him at the Chong'an Palace."

Jinzhong bowed and accepted the order, "Yes, I will arrange it right away."

Fu Ming nodded, then turned his attention back to Wei Zhongren. "Doctor Wei, you will go with me tomorrow. The rumors to the outside world will remain the same as before. Do you understand?"

Wei Zhongren bowed his head and said, "I understand."

That afternoon, Jinzhong quietly left the palace in casual clothes, then got on an inconspicuous carriage and arrived at the gate of Chong'an Palace.

The person working in the gatehouse today is Li Si. He was trained by Uncle Fu, so he naturally recognized Jinzhong's appearance.

As soon as he saw Jinzhong's dress, he knew that Jinzhong didn't want to make it public.

Li Si first asked someone to go inside to report, then quickly opened the door, glanced at the passers-by, and said loudly: "Uncle Chen, what brings you here? Did Lord Wei ask you to deliver medicine again?"

Jinzhong's eyes flashed with admiration. He stepped forward and said with a smile, "There's no medicine this time. Imperial Physician Wei sent me a message to convey to His Majesty. Imperial Physician Wei is currently researching a prescription and can't leave at the moment, so he had no choice but to send me here."

Li Si made a gesture of invitation and said, "Uncle Chen, please come in quickly. Our prince's illness still needs the help of Lord Wei!"

Jinzhong stepped in and Li Si closed the door again.

Li Si then turned and walked to Jinzhong, whispering, "I apologize for my offense just now. Please don't take it to heart, eunuch."

Jinzhong reached out and patted his shoulder. "You performed very well just now. We can't praise you enough. How can we blame you? You are worthy of being trained by Uncle Fu. You have a bright brain!"

Li Si scratched his head and a shy smile appeared on his face.

The two of them talked for a few more words before Jinzhong walked inside.

In the reception room, Fu Xuanyu and Jiang Yun had been waiting here since they heard the announcement from the doorman.

Not only did he wait, he also specially placed the snacks that Chef Liu had made today on the table.

So when Jinzhong arrived, he saw Fu Xuanyu and Jiang Yun sitting in the main seat.

When Jinzhong saw Fu Xuanyu's expression, he was delighted.

It seems that what Doctor Wei said was right. The prince's complexion now looks much rosier than before, and his cheeks are not as sunken as before.

He stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your servant greets the prince and the princess."

Fu Xuanyu gave him a light hand and said, "Get up quickly."

Jinzhong stood up, but his body was still slightly bent, which was a habit he had developed from serving the emperor for a long time.

Jiang Yun said, "Eunuch Jinzhong, please take a seat and try the tea and snacks from our Chong'an Palace."

Jinzhong respectfully said to Jiang Yun, "Thank you, Princess," then turned and walked to a seat nearby and sat down.

After he sat down, he did not touch the tea and snacks on the table. Instead, he looked directly at Fu Xuanyu and said, "Your Majesty would like to meet Divine Doctor Jiang in the palace tomorrow. I would like to trouble the prince and princess to prepare in advance."

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Eunuch Jinzhong, this is not a problem at all. I originally asked Dr. Jiang to come to your home for a follow-up consultation tomorrow. Don't you think this is a coincidence?"

Jinzhong breathed a sigh of relief and laughed too, "What a coincidence."

Fu Xuanyu turned his head and looked at Jiang Yun in surprise.

Jiang Yun blinked at him twice.

Jinzhong did not notice the two people's actions, but turned around, picked up the teacup on the table, and sipped the tea in peace and quiet.

Seeing his actions, Jiang Yun said, "Eunuch Jinzhong, don't just drink tea. Try some of the snacks our cooks made. The prince said they taste even better than those made in the palace!"

Jinzhong never liked sweets, so he had no intention of eating it.

But hearing Jiang Yun say this aroused his curiosity.

Jinzhong nodded and said, "Since the princess said so, we must enjoy these snacks today."

Then he reached out, picked up a piece of dessert, put it to his mouth and took a bite.

The outside is a salty and crispy thousand-layer pancake crust, and the inside is filled with fresh, fragrant and tender fillings. Jinzhong was instantly amazed by the first bite.

He finished the dessert in two bites and then praised it, "It's really delicious."

Seeing that he was enjoying his meal, Jiang Yun persuaded him to eat a few more pieces until Jinzhong had tasted every kind of snack. Only then did Jiang Yun stop.

But a seed was planted in Jinzhong's heart.

He picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea, then half-jokingly said, "We are so lucky today. I wonder if His Majesty will have such delicious snacks tomorrow."

Jiang Yun raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and said with a smile, "The dishes in our palace are not as good as the imperial meals in the palace. Only these snacks might catch His Majesty's eye. We will not only prepare some tomorrow, but we will also prepare more!"

Jinzhong nodded and lowered his eyes to hide the panic in them.

Then he stood up and said, "It's getting late. We should go back and report."

Jiang Yun said, "Uncle Fu, please see my father-in-law off."

Jinzhong waved his hand and said, "No need. We've changed into casual clothes today, so we don't want to stand out."

Fu Xuanyu smiled and said, "Yes! Then take care, eunuch."

Jiang Yun watched Jinzhong's back as he walked away, then glanced at the snacks on the table, a dark glint in her eyes.

No matter what the result is, the answer will be revealed tomorrow.

Fu Xuanyu saw Jinzhong walk away, then turned to look at Jiang Yun and asked, "Ah Yun, what are you going to do tomorrow? You can't not accompany the emperor when he comes to the palace, but if you do, how will Dr. Jiang face the emperor? You don't have the ability to clone yourself, so why did you agree to Eunuch Jinzhong just now?"

Jiang Yun curled her lips, "Don't worry, Yu, tomorrow will be the confession session."

Fu Xuanyu asked in surprise, "Are you going to reveal your identity to the Emperor?"

Jiang Yun nodded calmly and said, "Yes! I originally thought that if His Majesty summoned Divine Doctor Jiang to the palace, I would go to the palace to see him as Divine Doctor Jiang, but I would not reveal my identity. If His Majesty came to our palace to see Divine Doctor Jiang privately, I would directly confess to His Majesty. After all, His Majesty could leave the palace privately for A Yu's safety. I was just revealing my identity to him, so my actions are nothing."
