Jingxue took a nap outside the space and was only woken up by the palace maid at dinner time.

Meanwhile, Ye Muchen returned to his residence. Jingxue was to stay in the palace, and as an adult prince, he was not allowed to live in the inner palace unless there were special circumstances.

After changing his clothes, the servant asked him if he wanted to eat. He felt he had no appetite, so he told the servant to leave first.

It's still very bright outside!

Ye Muchen walked out of the courtyard and strolled slowly. More than half a year had passed since he and Jingxue got married, and today she actually said she wanted a divorce. Apart from the fact that he had been neglecting her, he couldn't think of any other reason!

What a fuss!

However, this girl is indeed extraordinary, and her courage is extraordinary. She actually dared to cut open someone's abdomen to remove their child. That brat must know kung fu. She climbed over the wall last night. Thinking about climbing over the wall, he still felt that he had been tricked by that brat last night!

He didn't want a divorce; wouldn't that be a slap in his own face? Now that he'd married her, as long as she didn't go too far, he wouldn't abandon her. The Prince's mansion could afford to support her!

Besides, she's also a great shield, saving me a lot of trouble!

However, whenever he thought of Jingxue's face, for some reason he felt a desire to conquer her, and he was determined to make that girl give up the idea of ​​divorce and stay obediently by his side!

Unbeknownst to him, Ye Muchen had somehow arrived near Jingning Garden, but why couldn't he see any sign for it?

Upon closer inspection, the sign hidden by the vines was for Jingning Garden.

As I approached the gate of that courtyard, I heard voices coming from inside!

"I'm the coolest guy in this whole compound! Kid?!"

"Miss, your meal is ready!"

"I am Little Chenchen, and I am not a good bird!"

That sounds like that girl's voice, but then again, it doesn't!

Ye Muchen flew onto the nearest big tree.

In the courtyard, a young maid was collecting clothes, while a small black bird was swaying back and forth on the stone table next to her.

"Little myna, you'll be going inside soon. Miss won't be home these days, so you have to be a good boy and listen to me, okay?" the maid said, holding a quilt.

"Little white rabbit, white and white, white and white... Miss, it's time to eat!" The little black bird completely ignored the maid's words.

Ye Muchen looked at the person and the bird in the courtyard. Ha! "Little Chenchen," what a nasty bird! It's clearly a blatant insult to him!

Ye Muchen gritted his teeth, "Jingxue, you're really something!"

After dinner, Jingxue was busy in the Empress's bedchamber until almost dawn before she could rest for a while. The Empress's incision was starting to hurt, and the uterine contractions were causing her to cry out in pain. Fortunately, the system had the Western medicine.

In the middle of the night, she secretly gave the Empress a painkiller and some anesthesia injection, and also put her on an anti-inflammatory IV drip. She only dared to take it out after she persuaded Granny Qi and the others to leave!

The next afternoon, the Queen passed gas and was able to eat both food and Chinese medicine.

The imperial physicians' wound medicine was excellent, and with the addition of the Western medicine from Jingxue's space, the wound healed quite well!

And so, under the care of Jingxue and the imperial physician, the Empress gradually recovered!

In the past few days, Jingxue has spent most of her time discussing medical techniques with the two imperial physicians, especially Physician Ren, who admires Jingxue immensely!

Jingxue was also very open-minded and shared everything she knew without reservation!

Jingxue also suggested that the Imperial Medical Academy should train some female physicians, which would make it easier to treat the concubines in the harem!

Physician Ren said that training female physicians is not something that can be done overnight. Generally, midwifery and physical examinations for women are done by older nannies. However, he plans to submit a memorial to the emperor to see if he can grant permission.

Jingxue never expected that in ancient times, people would submit memorials to the emperor so easily. Women were not allowed to participate in politics, and she couldn't be bothered with such things!

Emperor Ye Muming came almost every day, and because of this, the other concubines also reported for duty every day. Some of them genuinely came to visit, while others had ulterior motives, such as Consort Li.

She always arrived almost at the same time as the emperor. Jingxue even wondered if she had planted a tracking device on the emperor. However, as the saying goes, heaven helps those who help themselves. Since she invited the emperor to visit the Third Princess every now and then, the emperor probably couldn't show favoritism and actually went to Zhongcui Palace with her once.

Prime Minister's Mansion

"What did you say? It was Jing Zhiyuan's daughter who saved the Empress. Does she have such amazing medical skills?" Prime Minister Zou found it hard to believe after hearing his wife's words.

“It’s absolutely true. Shuang’er said it herself. She also said that she gave birth to the third princess, but the emperor didn’t like her much! If it were a boy, the emperor wouldn’t have been able to justify not promoting Shuang’er to a higher rank. It’s a pity…” The Prime Minister’s wife didn’t finish her sentence, her face full of resentment.

Prime Minister Zou clenched his fist on the table. "Jing Zhiyuan is truly shrewd. He quietly married his daughter to the Third Prince as his principal wife. And his daughter is so capable; she even saved two members of the royal family. What a great achievement!"

"Yes! Although they live in a fiefdom, their daughter's position is as solid as a rock. How could an ordinary person shake it? My sister originally wanted to marry her daughter Shu'er to Mu Chen as a concubine! Now it seems that even if she marries him, she may not be favored!"

"Shuang'er also said that the Princess Consort of War is extremely beautiful..."

Zou Chengxiang didn't listen to his wife at all; he was busy plotting the plan that had already begun.

On the morning of the eighth day, Jingxue removed the stitches from the Empress. This time, with the tools in the system, the operation couldn't be easier.

The incision is healing well, and Jingxue left a prescription for scar removal.

Knowing that Jingxue could leave the palace, Ye Muchen followed the emperor to Fengqi Palace after the morning court session.

The emperor was in a good mood after hearing the reports from Jingxue and the other two. He first rewarded the two imperial physicians with one thousand taels of silver each. The two physicians dared not take credit for the reward, and only said that they were grateful to Princess Zhan. They felt ashamed of the reward.

Yesterday, the Empress opened her private treasury and gave Jingxue a small box of jewelry. The Empress Dowager also gave Jingxue a ruby ​​headdress!

The two imperial physicians thanked the emperor and left first.

Only the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the War King and his wife remained in the hall—pure family!

"Princess Consort Zhan, you deserve immense credit for the Empress's successful delivery of the eldest prince. Tell me, what reward do you desire? Gold, silver, or land, it's all fine!" After the Emperor finished speaking, he glanced at the Empress Dowager, who smiled and nodded in agreement.

Jingxue's eyes darted around, and then a clever idea struck her. "Your Majesty, is anything alright?"

The emperor laughed heartily, "That depends on whether it's something my Bei Ye possesses. If you want the stars in the sky, I truly don't have them!"

Jingxue smiled and said generously, "Your Majesty, I don't want gold, silver, or land; I want a pardon from death!"

Her words stunned the other three people; they had never expected this!
