"Take it away. Prepare some snacks for me to enjoy with my drinks later. I'm in a good mood today."

Su Yinhan returned to the Yong'an Prince's Mansion.

After returning from the Divine Physician Pavilion auction, Su Yinhan went directly to the Prince's residence with her servants. The gatekeeper informed her that the Prince was having dinner with the Princess in the Princess's courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Su Yinhan's face instantly darkened. She gritted her teeth, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.

"Since the prince is with my sister, I'll head back now." Su Yinhan turned to leave.

"Please take care, Consort," the servant said with a smile.

Su Yinhan walked very fast, as if a demon was chasing her. She returned to her residence and slammed the door shut.

"Miss, what's wrong?" The maid rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

"The prince actually dined at that woman's place!" Su Yinhan said angrily.

"Please calm down, Miss. Perhaps the Prince only visits occasionally," the maid comforted her.

"Hmph! I think that woman did it on purpose. Doesn't she know I went to the Divine Physician Pavilion auction today? She just wants to embarrass me!"

Su Yinhan sat in the chair, growing angrier the more she thought about it. "No, this princess cannot sit idly by and wait to die! Come, come with me to find the prince."

Before Su Yinhan could even leave the room, a maid rushed in, saying, "Your Highness, the Prince is walking this way."

"Are you telling the truth?"

“Yes, Your Highness, it is absolutely true,” the maid nodded.

Su Yinhan was overjoyed and quickly tidied her appearance before standing up.

However, when she saw the prince walk into the room with a cold expression, the joy in her heart vanished without a trace.

“Your Highness…” Su Yinhan said softly, forcing herself to continue. “Your Highness, today at the Divine Physician Pavilion auction, I won the opportunity to have a consultation with a divine physician.”

Su Yinhan became more and more excited as she spoke, and directly took the prince's hand, "I believe that the divine physician will cure my body. When that happens, I will definitely serve the prince well."

"Hmm." The prince responded indifferently, his gaze towards Su Yinhan completely unwavering.

Su Yinhan felt a pang of pain in her heart, but she still forced a smile and said, "Isn't Your Highness happy for me?"

"Happy, of course I'm happy," the prince said through gritted teeth. That's gold, gold! With so much gold, I could have as many beauties as I wanted. If it weren't for the Marquis's and Duke's mansions behind you, I...!

"I ask you, how much silver was spent at today's auction?" the prince asked coldly.

Su Yinhan clenched her fist secretly, not understanding why the prince was so indifferent to her.

"Your Highness, the money I spent at today's auction was paid for by my mother," Su Yinhan said softly, especially the last two words, "paid for by her." She didn't dare let the prince hear her.

The lady of the Marquis's mansion originally thought that taking some silver from the mansion would be enough. After all, when Su Yinhan got married, her dowry stretched for miles.

When the former lady of the Marquis's mansion married into the Marquis's mansion, she brought with her a very generous dowry.

Back then, Su Yinhan was the only legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. The dowry that the original Marquis's wife brought with her was all brought into the Prince's Mansion as part of her dowry when Su Yinhan got married.

Moreover, the Duke's mansion had added a very lavish dowry. However, only a few years later, Su Yinhan told the Marquis's wife that she had no money left.

Seeing his daughter's tearful face, and worrying about his son's future, he was caught in a dilemma.

He could only grit his teeth and take out the silver he had embezzled over the past ten years, along with all the silver notes and land deeds and house deeds of the Marquis's mansion, to finally scrape together 300,000 taels of gold.

However, this loan was made in the name of the Marquis's residence to the Prince of Yong'an's residence. The two also signed a loan agreement.

Su Yinhan thought, once her appearance is restored and she gains the prince's favor, what is a mere 300,000 taels of gold!

But Su Yinhan didn't expect that the Prince's mansion was so poor that it didn't even have ten thousand taels of gold.

The prince didn't hear the last two words, so his attention was focused on how much the divine physician and the Marquis's mansion valued Su Yinhan.

Then he spoke again, saying, "I am very happy for you. Yinhan, as you know, I am no match for my brothers. If we can win over the divine physician and have him as our ally, that would be the best outcome."

Upon hearing the prince's words, Su Yinhan's eyes lit up. How could she not have thought of bringing the divine physician over to their side and making the divine physician and the Divine Physician Pavilion work for them?

Then wouldn't they be...? Su Yinhan became even more excited as she thought about it.

Su Yinhan quickly replied, "This concubine is willing to help Your Highness solve your problems. When this concubine goes to see the divine physician, this concubine will definitely..."

The prince withdrew his hand and said, "At that time, I accompanied you to see the divine physician. May I ask when and where the divine physician will see you?"

"Your Highness, the manager of the Divine Physician Pavilion said that once you decide when to see the Divine Physician, you should take this invitation to the Divine Physician Pavilion to explain, and the Divine Physician will make arrangements. So I rushed back to discuss it with Your Highness."

After discussing it with the prince, Su Yinhan decided to go to the Divine Physician's Pavilion together in three days.

At that time, they will bring the invitation to see the divine physician, hoping to successfully win him over and add a powerful boost to the royal palace.

However, they were unaware that a different kind of storm was brewing within the Divine Healer's Pavilion...

The prince nodded slightly, indicating his satisfaction.

Su Yinhan was secretly delighted, feeling that she was one step closer to her goal.

"I still have official business to attend to, Yinhan, you should rest well," the prince said gently.

Su Yinhan watched the prince's departing figure, feeling a surge of joy. But in an instant, a vicious smile appeared on her face. "You wretch, just wait until I regain my appearance, what will you use to fight me then?"

Inside Princess Yong'an's courtyard, the princess was leisurely sipping wine when a maid rushed in to report, "Your Highness, the prince came out of Consort Su's quarters without any apparent abnormality. Consort Su did not throw a tantrum after the prince left."

The princess's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. "It seems this Consort Su really does have some tricks up her sleeve. But it's alright, we'll see."

She put down her wine glass, stood up, and said, "Go and find out what Consort Su's family, the Lady of the Marquis's Mansion, have been busy with lately."

Meanwhile, Su Yinhan returned to her room, immediately wrote a secret letter, and sent it out by someone.

She believed that as long as she followed the plan, she could quickly eliminate that obstacle and become the prince's only favored concubine. And all of this would be revealed during the trip to the Divine Physician's Pavilion three days later…

In a county town not far from the capital, Su Yinyin couldn't refuse the two of them and decided to take them back to their home in the capital.

The fifth brother prepared another carriage. Su Yinyin instructed that thick quilts be laid inside the carriage to prevent the two from getting cold.

Both of them were severely depleted. Su Yinhan, in particular, was not only depleted but also suffered from cold constitution.
