"Her Highness the Grand Princess has arrived!"

The servant's loud voice instantly drowned out Yu Shuyan's voice, and few people heard her confession.

As the crowd automatically parted to make way, a group of eunuchs and maids escorted a graceful yet serene woman into the room.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Yu Shuyan's eyes relaxed slightly, and a smile unconsciously curved her lips.

finally come!

In her past life, she saw a notice posted on the street from the Princess's residence. The Princess's only son had suffered from a heart ailment since childhood. Although he had been seeking medical treatment and receiving meticulous care, his heart ailment still flared up. The imperial physicians and medical officials were helpless and had no choice but to post a notice offering a large sum of money for a cure.

Having been given a second chance at life, she knew her enemies were too powerful, and with the help of that miraculous medical system, she naturally made many preparations in advance.

As the late emperor's only elder sister and the eldest legitimate princess, the eldest princess's status and position were naturally extraordinary.

In her previous life, due to her son's illness, the eldest princess lived a secluded life, ignoring all matters of the court.

Today's events were sudden, and just in case, she sent Uncle Fu with the specially made pills for the young prince to the Princess's residence to ask for help.

She asked Uncle Fu to deliver only one sentence to the eldest princess:

The young prince's illness requires her—that is, Lady Yuan—to administer acupuncture treatment on time. He will surely recover in less than six months.

She believed that the Princess was desperate and would try anything, and given the reputation of Lady Yuan as a skilled physician, she would surely make the young prince take the medicine.

After witnessing the miraculous effects of the medicine, she would definitely do everything in her power to protect her son.

In that case, he will definitely face off against Gong Beige.

Having another comrade-in-arms is really a great deal.

"Aunt, why are you here?"

Wen Lang stepped forward and slowly bowed, though his movements weren't particularly devout. After all, in his heart, how could a former Grand Princess of the previous dynasty compare to Princess Gong Beige, who was now deeply favored by the Emperor?

The Grand Princess could easily see through his perfunctory attitude, and a cold smile appeared on her lips:

"Aunt? How come I didn't know you? When did I gain such a nephew as you!"

A look of embarrassment flashed across Wen Lang's eyes:

He married the princess without any ceremony.

Although he was known as the imperial son-in-law, everyone knew that he was indeed the imperial son-in-law.

However, this was something that made him very embarrassed.

Because if someone pretends not to know, he has nothing to say.

After all, there was no wedding. To put it nicely, he's a prince consort. To put it bluntly, well...

Unconsciously, he straightened his back and looked at the Grand Princess with feigned gentleness:

“My aunt has lived a secluded life for many years and rarely interacts with the court. It’s no wonder you don’t know about the major and minor affairs of the royal family. It’s normal that you don’t know about my recent marriage with Beige. Don’t worry, Beige and I won’t mind.”

Although she spoke of understanding, her words were full of sarcasm towards the Grand Princess, implying that she had distanced herself from the court and was not as important as Gong Beige.

She even used Gong Beige to intimidate her, acting like a fox borrowing the tiger's power.

The Grand Princess could easily understand his unspoken message, and her eyes grew even colder:

"Oh, although I am far removed from the court, I am always invited to witness the weddings of the younger generation of the royal family. When was your wedding? Why didn't you inform me?"

Wen Lang's face turned pale and then green, which was quite a sight.

Yu Shuyan couldn't help but want to applaud the Grand Princess. Every word she uttered was like a dagger to Wen Lang's throat, silencing him completely.

The Grand Princess glanced at him disdainfully, too lazy to waste any more words with him, and instead slowly surveyed the crowd, frowning as she said:

"Which of you is Lady Yuan?"

Yu Shuyan stepped forward slowly and bowed respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant:

"It is indeed I, your humble daughter."

Everyone in the room stared at her in shock.

After all, Lady Yuan always wore a veil, and everyone felt that her identity was mysterious. Although they all guessed her identity, no one expected that she was a divorced woman living at home.

Wen Lang was taken aback at first, but then he was convinced that she was desperate and trying to grab a lifeline by impersonating someone else.

He sneered disdainfully:

"You're Yuan Niangzi? How laughable! I know you better than anyone. I can assure you, you have no medical skills whatsoever, so how could you possibly be the highly skilled Yuan Niangzi? You're utterly absurd. I advise you to quickly hide away and stop making a fool of yourself here."

The Grand Princess glanced disapprovingly at Wen Lang, but then looked at Yu Shuyan again:

"Did you concoct that medicine?"

Yu Shuyan smiled and nodded:

"Yes."

The Grand Princess asked again, her voice unconsciously trembling with suppressed expectation:

"Tell me, can you cure my son?"

Yu Shuyan's smile grew even more confident:

"It can take anywhere from three months to half a year."

The Grand Princess's voice trembled even more:

"Do you know what will happen if you fail to do it?"

Yu Shuyan's smile grew even more composed:

“I, a woman, can vouch for this with my own head.”

The Grand Princess stared directly at Yu Shuyan, seemingly examining the credibility of her words.

Yu Shuyan smiled faintly, letting him look her over.

After a long silence, the Grand Princess nodded slightly:

"If you can cure my son, you will be my great benefactor, Gong Qiuyan. I will grant you any request you may make."

This promise is of paramount importance.

Yu Shuyan was moved by Wen Lang's love for his son and unconsciously looked at him:

Both of them are parents, so why could he be so cruel and ruthless to Zhe Ge'er?

"In that case, please come with me to the princess's residence now!"

Gong Qiuyan couldn't wait any longer; his son had really suffered too much over the years.

She longed to see him immediately, to be lively and energetic, to become a normal teenager.

Yu Shuyan was about to nod.

Wen Lang had already stepped forward, his voice deepening:

"Aunt, you can't take her away today!"
