Granny Zhou looked at Yin Zijing with a smile, her eyes almost squinting into slits. She explained softly, "This is a treasure! This is something that Madam specially prepared for you, Miss."

Moreover, "a young lady" should usually stay at home, quietly embroidering and doing needlework, until she reaches the appropriate age to get married. That's the most important thing. Alright, that's enough. Please sit up, young lady, this old servant will put it on for you."

Yin Zijing frowned slightly, but still managed to sit up. Zhou Mama used a hairpin to secure Yin Zijing's long hair. Yin Zijing was somewhat afraid of the unknown, and coupled with her tense expression just now, she noticed that Ruhe had not returned yet, so she asked, "Zhou Mama, it's been so long, why hasn't Ruhe returned yet?"

While pulling the drawstring at the back of Yin Zijin's bodice, Granny Zhou said nonchalantly, "What could be wrong? Perhaps His Highness the Crown Prince is ill and doesn't have a personal maid to take care of him. Ruhe happened to be there and was caught taking care of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Perhaps to confirm what Granny Zhou had said, a clear voice came from outside the door: "Sixth Miss, Doctor Yin sent me to deliver a message: His Highness the Crown Prince is currently unconscious, experiencing alternating chills and fever. His son, Ruhe, has developed a fever and is keeping Ruhe by his side to care for him and prepare medicine. Wanyue's injuries are serious, and she doesn't seem to be doing well. Doctor Yin is currently doing everything he can to treat her. Also, Ruhe asked me to tell you that the imperial physicians from the palace haven't come..."

Seeing that Yin Zijing was somewhat disoriented and seemed unable to answer the person outside the door, Granny Zhou shouted, "Sixth Miss understands, thank you, Little Master, you can go back now!"

The young monk responded and left. Only then did Granny Zhou return to Yin Zijing's side and say softly, "Sixth Miss, this old servant will go and brew your medicine. You should rest well." After saying that, Granny Zhou turned and left the room.

Yin Zijing lay on the bed, her face as pale as paper, cold sweat beading on her forehead. She kept her eyes tightly closed, her lips trembling slightly.

After a while, Granny Zhou came in carrying a steaming bowl of medicinal soup. She carefully helped Yin Zijing up and fed her the soup. Yin Zijing opened her mouth slightly and drank a mouthful of the soup, but then coughed, spilling some of the soup.

Granny Zhou looked at Yin Zijing with heartache, gently patted her back, and comforted her, "Sixth Miss, drink it slowly, don't rush. Although this medicine is bitter, it's good for your health."

Despite her discomfort, Yin Zijin frowned and pondered: "It seems that this is definitely aimed at His Highness the Crown Prince. This is a sure-kill move, intended to put His Highness to death!"

If I hadn't ended up at Fu'an Temple by some twist of fate, and hadn't happened to be by His Highness's side, His Highness would already be in grave danger..."

Yin Zijing frowned deeply, his eyes revealing determination and resolve. He interrupted Granny Zhou without hesitation, his tone serious and firm: "Granny Zhou, Mother has clearly promised me that I can study medicine."

From this moment forward, I hope you will refrain from interfering in anything concerning my medical studies. If you insist on hindering me, I will resolutely defend my rights, even at a great cost.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then continued, "As long as we can coexist peacefully and you no longer interfere with my love and pursuit of medicine, I am willing to learn foot binding, needlework, and all other skills and knowledge that I should learn."

But if you insist on going your own way and blocking my path in medicine, then don't blame me for being impolite! At that time, no matter the consequences, I will fight you to the very end without hesitation.
