Report to the Empress and the Eldest Princess: They're using the system to poach your men.

The slow-witted Shuyi, with her stiff neck, slowly turned around and saw Shen Sangwan and Wen Yuening standing side by side. Her soul had already left home.

"Shuyi, you're getting bolder and bolder. Now you even dare to gossip about me and the Empress."

Shen Sangwan spoke with profound words and a serious expression, which frightened Shuyi so much that she knelt down on the ground, and Shuyun, who was listening to gossip, also knelt down.

"It's all over, it's really all over now. Why do I have such a damn mouth, always talking nonsense?"

"If I had known that His Highness and the Empress would hear me, I should have said more good things about His Highness. Maybe I could have saved my life."

Shuyi cursed herself inwardly for her mischievous mouth, while also regretting not saying more flattering words to her prince.

"This servant deserves to die, please forgive me, Your Highness."

As he spoke, he slapped himself hard several times, and in just a moment, his cheeks were already slightly red and swollen.

"Your Highness, it is all my fault. I was just bored and talked nonsense with Shuyi. Please forgive Shuyi this time."

Shen Sangwan wasn't really angry; she was just pretending to scare Shuyi. Who would have thought it would frighten him like this?

"Since you know you're wrong, then stop. Copy the Thousand Character Classic in the study twice and work on your patience."

"This servant thanks Your Highness."

Shu Yi, who thought she was doomed, never expected Shen Sangwan to let her go so easily. She was still somewhat dazed when she kowtowed to express her gratitude.

"Shuyun, I am confiscating one month's salary from you. Do you have any objections?"

"Not being punished is already a great blessing. It's just a month's salary. Being spared a beating is worth it."

"Your subordinate—"

“Your Highness, Yue Ning thinks he should be punished for two months, along with Shu Yi’s share.”

"???"

"Your Majesty the Empress—!"

"If you're going to punish Shuyi, then punish Shuyi. Why deduct it from my monthly allowance? She's not even related to me. Just because she calls me 'sister' doesn't mean she's my sister."

Shuyun was inwardly distressed, but her expression remained unchanged.

"I accept my punishment."

In order to prevent the two from changing their minds again, Shuyun quickly admitted her mistake and accepted the punishment.

They were afraid that if they were even a moment late, another month's salary would be gone.

"What's going on with Ruoying?"

"The people from Yunguang Palace only said that Your Highness should go there in the evening. Also, these are the things that Lingyuan wants. Please prepare them and take them with you."

After the matter was over, Shuyun quickly took out the letter that the palace servant had given her earlier and handed it to Shen Sangwan.

I glanced at the contents and saw that most of them were medicinal herbs.

It was then handed over to Wen Yuening; this thing should be examined by a professional.

She's not even a barefoot doctor, so she shouldn't force herself to do this job.

"These are all common medicinal herbs, which the Imperial Hospital has in stock. Your Highness can have someone fetch them according to what is listed here."

"Shuyun, you go with Shuyi."

"Yes."

After receiving instructions, Shuyi and Shuyun quickly left Weiyang Palace.

They were afraid that being a conspicuous person would displease their prince.

Will Your Highness be visiting Yunguang Palace tonight?

With no one else around, Wen Yuening found a chair and sat down, seemingly asking a question, but her answer was already written on her face.

“Come with me. I’m afraid that the white-haired woman is trying to trick me. Although you don’t understand witchcraft, you are skilled in medicine and can observe from the side.”

Shen Sangwan, perhaps still half asleep and a little oblivious, failed to grasp the hidden meaning in Wen Yuening's words.

"Does Your Highness wish to bring Yue Ning along?"

"Hmm—? Is there something that keeps you busy tonight, Ah Ning?"

Shen Sangwan kept rubbing her neck, arms, and thighs, massaging wherever there was soreness.

I didn't notice Wen Yuening's emotional fluctuations.

"No...it's alright, Yue Ning will accompany Your Highness later."

She tried to reach his back for a long time but couldn't, so she had to whisper to him, "Ah Ning, could you rub my back for me?"

After shifting her attention to Shen Sangwan, Wen Yuening's expression became unnatural.

Last night, she went a bit too far again and lost control. Fortunately, Shen Sangwan didn't hold it against her and blamed the whole thing on the person named "Gou Xitong".

"okay!"

Shen Sangwan clasped her hands behind her back and pointed to a spot, "Just a little bit below here."

The friction from rubbing against the clothes was intense and powerful, giving Shen Sangwan the illusion of enjoying a massage in the real world.

“Hiss—it hurts!”

Wen Yuening was slightly distracted, and her hand moved to the right a little. She didn't know where she pressed, but Shen Sangwan gasped in pain.

"Your Highness! Did Yue Ning use too much force?"

No...you touched the wound...

Shen Sangwan's voice was soft, making it difficult for Wen Yuening to hear clearly. She leaned closer to her ear and asked again, "What did Your Highness say?"

"You bit yourself and you didn't even know it?"

Shen Sangwan thought Wen Yuening was teasing her again, and with a hint of anger, she pretended to be angry, sitting with her hands on her hips and looking up at her.

"bite--?"

Wen Yuening was still trying to recall what happened last night. After going through her memories over and over again, she remembered that there seemed to be something like that. She had bitten the other person's back hard with a mischievous grin, which caused a slight cut.

Shen Sangwan was not quite lucid at the time, and after calling out softly, she didn't say anything more. She didn't take it seriously and never expected it to be so serious.

"Your Highness, please take off your clothes quickly."

"Hey—you...you...it's broad daylight...are you ever going to stop? I...I don't want to!"

Shen Sangwan jumped up from her chair in surprise, pointed at Wen Yuening and then at the window, her gaze darting back and forth.

Then he gripped his collar tightly and stared warily at Wen Yuening.

"Your Highness, Yue Ning only wanted to apply medicine to your body. Why are you so resistant? What do you think Yue Ning is up to?"

Seeing that Shen Sangwan misunderstood, Wen Yuening once again used her skill of turning the tables and started to attack Shen Sangwan relentlessly.

"I...I wasn't thinking anything. You just wanted to apply medicine, why did you immediately ask me to take off my clothes!"

Anyone would misunderstand this!

"Yes, yes, it's all Yue Ning's fault, causing Your Highness to misunderstand and be disappointed—"

"What am I disappointed about? You're just making things up again!"

As Shen Sangwan undressed, she pouted, ignoring the other person.

"These women are all here to bring her down! First there was Xiao Yan Yan, then the Empress. This is unbearable!"

Once the clothes were removed, her naked back was exposed, covered with marks of peach petals. The spot where she had accidentally pressed earlier was now bleeding.

Wen Yuening secretly punched herself and cursed at herself several times.

"Your Highness, please do not move."

The ointment was something Shuyi had prepared beforehand. Wen Yuening found it, opened it, and gently applied it to Shen Sangwan.
