Holding the script, I want to give up.

"Sister, is it possible that she's hungry? Why don't you let the wet nurse try?"

Shangguan Zitong thought that the baby girl hadn't eaten for a long time, which was why she kept crying.

“Alright, wet nurse, you give it a try.”

After Liu Yunwan handed the child to the wet nurse next to her, the wet nurse comforted her for a while and she stopped crying.

"Okay, I am indeed hungry."

“Then you take her, wet nurse, and I’ll take Zitong for a stroll in the garden.”

After Liu Yunwan finished speaking, the wet nurse bowed while holding the child, and then pushed Shangguan Zitong away.

"Your wet nurse is just like a maternity nurse or nanny from the original world."

"You're living a pretty good life, at least much better than me."

Shangguan Zitong let her push him along, watching the ever-changing scenery.

"Yeah, sometimes I actually miss being alone. Being alone is pretty good too."

"It's just that I've become attached to this place, and it's hard to let go of some things in my heart."

Liu Yunwan had been in the Dongchuan palace for so long that she was starting to feel disoriented. She used to aspire to be independent, but now she had to rely on others to survive. She didn't even know when she had become like this.

"Sister, don't you...want to go back to the original world? This place is nice, but you can't take anyone or anything with you!"

"If you were the author, you might be lying in front of a screen or in the ICU in the original world?"

"Perhaps the time in this world is different from the time in the original world?"

"I know I'm in the ICU! I really want to go back."

"Let's try our best and go back together! Didn't you say at the beginning that we would go back together?"

Shangguan Zitong looked up at her and said that she stopped walking, and Shangguan Zitong's wheelchair also stopped.

"Go back? Are you kidding me?"

"Didn't you take my system? How am I supposed to get it back?"

"My goal from beginning to end has always been to go back, but you... what am I supposed to do?"

Do you think I don't want to go back?

"I can't stand this world where money and power reign supreme, where human life is as cheap as grass!"

A faint sadness flashed in Liu Yunwan's eyes. She wanted to change Shangguan Zitong's course, but every time she deviated even slightly, Heaven would notice and pull her back to her original position, without even Shangguan Zitong herself realizing it.

"Sister, maybe there's still a chance?"

Let's not give up until the very last moment, okay?

Shangguan Zitong felt that the topic she was talking about today was a bit heavy and wanted to change it, but then she saw a child walking towards her in the distance.

Damn, isn't that the kid who choked me the other day? How did he get out here? Shangguan Zitong felt a cool sensation on her neck.

"Yes, I'm perfectly awake!"

"It's not over yet, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the meantime."

Liu Yunwan watched the little boy walk towards them, but she didn't take any protective measures because she felt the child was too young to pose a threat.

Unexpectedly, as the child pretended to be nonchalant as he passed by, he revealed a dagger hidden in his sleeve, stabbed Liu Yunwan in the abdomen, and then ran away.

"Holy crap! Someone get me!"

"Is there anyone?"

Shangguan Zitong tried to use his elbow to push the wheelchair around and catch her, but before he could turn around, she fell straight backward, lost consciousness, and went into a coma.

There was no one in that garden at all.

"Damn it, that's awful!"

"When you need people, there's not a soul in sight; when you don't need them, a huge crowd gathers to watch the drama unfold!"

Shangguan Zitong got up cursing and limped toward Liu Yunwan.

"I'm truly speechless at the people in this palace. How can their vigilance be so poor? The wounded carry the wounded along with each other—is there any justice in this world?"

She helped Liu Yunwan up, one hand on her abdomen trying to stop the bleeding, but the blood gushed out like a tap. Supporting her with one hand, she wrapped the other around her neck and led her quickly toward Mu Rongyi's study.

She couldn't run even if she wanted to. She was a little disabled and had someone unconscious and incapacitated with her. She was completely stunned.

......

"Mu Rongyi Ke, where are you?"

"Get out here right now, don't pretend you can't hear me!"

"Liu Yunwan is injured. If you don't treat her soon, you can expect to be feasted!"

Shangguan Zitong started yelling at the people inside the study from a distance. She wasn't sure if anyone was in the study, but she just yelled and that was it.

Mu Rongyi initially didn't want to pay attention to Shangguan Zitong's roar, but when he heard that Liu Yunwan was injured, he immediately ordered Xu Bin to find the imperial physician and rushed out to fetch her. Indeed, it's best to get to the point first, otherwise some people will pretend not to hear.

"what happened?"

"How did she get so badly injured?"

Mu Rongyi took Liu Yunwan from Shangguan Zitong and walked towards the soft couch in the study. She laid her down and found some bandages to temporarily stop the bleeding.

"How would I know?"

"Even I, someone in a wheelchair, am so anxious I'm jumping around on the ground!"

"You should ask that former crown prince's orphan, and where all the people on duty in the garden are! You should investigate thoroughly."

"Our top priority should be saving Sister Liu."

"I trust you can handle the rest."

Shangguan Zitong was truly impressed by those people who were so good at courting death. They knew that Liu Yunwan was Mu Rongyi's weakness, yet they still hurt her. Were they afraid that Mu Rongyi would actually launch a palace coup and wipe them all out?

She could only complain, after all, this wasn't her territory, and she had no say in anything. All she could do was survive. The system was busy lately, so she couldn't afford to tread on Mu Rongyi's sensitive areas.

"Your Highness, the imperial physician has arrived."

Xu Bin carried the imperial physician all the way from the Imperial Hospital to the study in the Eastern Palace. He only released the physician when he landed.

"Where is the injured person? Let me see them!"

The imperial physician put on his reading glasses and said.

"It's on the soft couch inside. Go and check on the situation."

"I have temporarily stopped her bleeding."

Mu Rongyi quickly pointed to the person on the bed and told the imperial physician.

"Stop with the nonsense and small talk, just go and see for yourself! What's with all this talk? Go and see for yourself! Nobody's stopping you."

Shangguan Zitong said anxiously, "The person is about to die inside, and you're still asking about the situation here! Why don't we just go in and check?"

"A vulgar and rude fellow."

The imperial physician glanced at Shangguan Zitong and then went inside to examine her.

"...Excuse me, old Deng!"

Shangguan Zitong could only complain softly, after all, this was a critical moment for saving lives, and no one dared to speak, for fear of disturbing the imperial physician.

An hour later, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Shangguan Zitong, Mu Rongyi, and the others who had been waiting outside finally relaxed. They watched as basins of clear water were carried in and bloody water was carried out, feeling a pang of heartache, but they dared not say anything.

"Alright, try to move around as little as possible. It's not too late to get back on the ground and walk around after you've recovered."

"I'm going to make medicine. You just need to take good care of the patients."

The imperial physician left as soon as he finished speaking, not wanting to get involved in this troublesome place. Mu Rongyi hadn't even finished expressing her gratitude when she saw him leaving in such a hurry, so she understood and didn't try to stop him.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Mu Rongyi entered the room, glanced at the sleeping Liu Yunwan, and then walked outside to ask Shangguan Zitong a question.

"That's none of my business!"

"It was the last descendant of the former crown prince, walking towards us. We all thought he was just passing by."

"I didn't expect him to come up and stab Sister Liu right away, and then run away."

"You should really investigate why there isn't a single person on duty over there in the garden."

That's all I can say.

Shangguan Zitong shrugged and sighed, indicating that life was tough and that the kid was being unreasonable.

"Okay, I understand. You can go ahead now."

"You can stay here if you want."

After listening to her detailed description, Mu Rongyi identified a few key points and realized that she still needed to carry out her palace coup. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to protect Liu Yunwan and her daughter.

"Um, could you... please have some mercy?"

"Send someone to the garden to retrieve my wheelchair! It's very difficult for me to walk like this."

Shangguan Zitong said she was laughing. After using someone, they just ignore them. She was really impressed. She still had to rely on Mu Rongyi Ke!

"Then wait a moment."

"Shadow Ten, go to the garden and retrieve her wheelchair."

Mu Rongyi instructed Ying Shidao that such a trivial matter did not require Xu Bin's intervention.

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

After performing the ritual, Ying Shi immediately used his internal energy to fly towards the garden.

"Thank you!"

Shangguan Zitong felt like a joker at that moment, wanting to leave but unable to, wanting to go inside to see who it was, but Mu Rongyi's eyes looked like she wanted to devour her. She could only pretend to be nonchalant and hang up.
