Physician Yin has been found and is now living in the palace.

The antidote pills they developed also cured Eunuch Wei's poisoning.

"Your Majesty, Princess, His Majesty requests your presence," Eunuch Wei said with a smile.

If it weren't for the princess saving the emperor, he might not have lived to see the divine physician again. Eunuch Wei held Lin Shuyun in high esteem.

The two exchanged a glance and then arrived at Xuan Yuan Hongye's place.

"Do you need something from us?"

After entering, Madam Qin sat down without any hesitation.

Xuan Yuan Hongye was already used to her unkempt sitting posture, so he pretended not to notice and said, "The Sang Kingdom will be sending envoys soon, probably to negotiate peace."

"Tell me what this can do? You don't mean you want Yunyun to go and marry someone else, do you?" Qin Niangzi blew on her fingers, her eyes turning icy as she looked at Xuan Yuan Hongye.

It seems that if he says even half a "yes," he'll be immediately silenced.

Xuanyuan Hongye sneered, "What kind of person do you take me for? I didn't even arrange for the princess to marry a foreign ruler back then, so why would I be afraid of them now?"

Sending a concubine to secure the country, yet not knowing where to find a general – such a thing could never happen to him.

He was not an incompetent monarch.

"Then what are you going to say? Spit it out already!" She and Yunyun were still going to the hot spring resort.

The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and there will be palace banquets and all sorts of other things, so we won't be able to go out and have fun.

"Qin Xiaoyun, can you please not be so rude!" Xuan Yuan Hongye looked at her.

"What, you like gentle and virtuous women? This is who I am now. If you can stand it, great; if not, then forget it." Qin Xiaoyun crossed her legs and nodded, casually eating a grape from the table.

Ugh, that's so sour.

Xuan Yuan Hongye didn't bother to look at her and turned to Lin Shuyun, "The princess's residence has been repaired. You should move there. That courtyard isn't safe."

"And that brat Chang Tian, ​​didn't I already appoint him as the Duke of Zhenguo? What's he doing studying at Luming Academy all day? Is he giving up his military career and going down the path of a civil official?"

“My husband loves reading.” Lin Shuyun smiled.

The Zhang family holds a very high position among civil officials, and he wants to become a civil official.

Now that my identity has been officially recognized by the Emperor, I have nothing to fear.

"Just kick Zhang Xiucheng to death, Xuan Yuan Hongye, you're really getting worse as you get older." Qin Niangzi rolled her eyes.

Xuanyuan Hongye couldn't help but speak up, "You make it sound so easy. Try killing one and see what happens. Even if I am the emperor, I can't just kill whoever I want!"

He wanted to kill Zhang Xiucheng, but he needed a trigger.

If the Prime Minister Zhang is still alive, and things really come to a head, it will be a huge blow to the country, and the people of Sang will benefit the most.

"I will send Chang Tian to receive the envoy from Sang Kingdom. The one coming from there is a prince. Tell him that if he is not happy, I will find someone else." Xuan Yuan Hongye felt very indebted to the Chang family.

Now that we can make compensation, we should naturally make it more generous.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lin Shuyun looked obedient and sweet.

Xuan Yuan Hongye felt much better. Fortunately, his new sister was obedient, otherwise he would have been worried sick.

"I'll say it again, take the Emperor Emeritus and Princess to live in their residence, and stop wandering around the streets."

Xuanyuan Hongye couldn't let himself be chased and beaten again for drinking a bowl of chicken soup.

The retired emperor is treating him less and less like a human being these days.

Aside from matters of state, the Crown Prince treated his father, the Emperor, and the Empress rather poorly at other times...

It's really upsetting to think about.

Having explained all this, Xuan Yuan Hongye told them to leave quickly, out of sight, out of mind.

“Aunt, let’s go. Let’s go see my princess’s residence first, and then we’ll go to the hot spring resort. I’m a princess now, all thanks to you.”

Lin Shuyun looked at the palace and felt it was nothing special; apart from the wealth, there was nothing else interesting about it.

"Not at all, I owe it all to you."

The two were flattering each other when someone arrived.

"Your Majesty, are you leaving the palace? Can Ling'er come with you?"

Xuanyuan Ling blinked her big eyes and looked at Lin Shuyun excitedly.

"No wonder Ling'er felt so close to the Empress when she saw her; it turns out we're family."

Her savior was her aunt! She adored her aunt; she was so dashing and heroic.

"You little brat, did you tell your mother?" Madam Qin didn't want to take this little girl with her.

Xuanyuan Ling turned around and called out, "Third Brother, Fourth Brother, aren't you curious about the Imperial Aunt? Come out quickly!"

Then two princes, aged fifteen or sixteen, came out.

"Jian, Yi, pay your respects to the Empress Dowager and Imperial Aunt."

Madam Qin glanced at the two teenagers and asked, "Are you two Consort Shu's sons?"

The two men, named Xuanyuan Jian and Xuanyuan Yi respectively, exchanged a glance and nodded.

She thought to herself that the Empress was indeed as beautiful as her mother had described, but she didn't look like a vixen. Why was her mother secretly scolding the Empress?

Then the two looked at Lin Shuyun curiously and whispered, "Auntie, are you going out of the palace to play? Can you take us with you?"

They have less homework today, so they can rest and also want to leave the palace.

Although she had never met this imperial aunt before, Xuan Yuanling praised her repeatedly, saying that she was beautiful, kind-hearted, and extremely capable.

"We're going to the princess's residence; there's nothing fun there," Madam Qin politely declined.

Anyway, Consort Shu doesn't like her, so it's best if her two sons don't follow her either. If anything happens to them, they'll definitely blame her.

"Alright then, we must present a generous gift to our Imperial Aunt on her housewarming day." The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince did not insist.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Go play over there," Qin Niangzi said, dismissing the two of them.

Then she saw Xuanyuan Ling staring at her expectantly.

"Go back and ask Consort Xian. She definitely can't take you out today. Let's do it another day after you've asked her."

Xuanyuan Ling left dejectedly.

Lin Shuyun turned to look at Qin Niangzi, who touched her face. "Why are you looking at me? Do you like children?"

Lin Shuyun shook her head.

The two went to a hot spring resort and had a wonderful time.

As she ate the fruits, Madam Qin sighed, "Ah, wealth and honor are still the best. In the years I was away from the palace, I was free, but I couldn't eat these good things anymore. And soaking in this hot spring is so comfortable."

"Then enjoy wealth and luxury." Lin Shuyun squinted her eyes.

"It's just that I'm lucky to have a niece like you, otherwise..."

"Let's not say anything more, Auntie, let's have a toast!"

She has already sent the things she collected to Jiang Changtian; hopefully they will be useful.

……

……

Meanwhile, a carriage was parked in front of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Princess Qingyue sat in the carriage, looking somewhat dejected.

"Princess, the Dowager Lady of the Duke's household doesn't want to see anyone. Let's go back." The personal maid said with some difficulty.

Guan Suying is known for her aloofness. The princess has already come twice, but the Duchess of the State still refuses to see anyone. What can be done?

"Never mind, I'll come another day. I heard that people who came before said they hadn't seen the young general. Could it be that the young general isn't in the manor?" Princess Qingyue recalled that day.

That's clearly the young general; how could he not be here?

Just as Princess Qingyue was about to leave, a group of people suddenly arrived at the gate.

These people included both men and women, and they were dressed in tattered clothes.
