Reborn as a devoted sister-in-law, she leads the entire village to prosperity.

"Was my master also harmed by her, which is why he is hiding here?"

After a moment of silence, Uncle Yanping replied, "Yes."

"Is this imperial concubine really able to control everything with just her hand?" Yu Banxia was shocked that an imperial concubine could wield such power.

Uncle Yanping briefly recounted the events of the lower court. The Imperial Concubine was the only daughter of the Duke of Lu. She was taken away by the Duke of Lu's enemies when she was three years old and was not found again until she was twelve.

She suffered a lot during those years. In the third year after she was found, she unexpectedly saved the Crown Prince, who is now the Emperor.

This wouldn't necessarily explain why the emperor favored her so much. After entering the palace, she gave birth to one daughter and two sons for the emperor.

While pregnant with her third child, a beauty presented by the Northern Rong Kingdom attempted to poison the emperor, but she intervened before he could drink it.

While the emperor hesitated, she resolutely drank the poisoned wine and immediately vomited blood.

The child was lost, and the person almost lost their life.

From then on, the emperor doted on her immensely, and she became the most favored concubine in the harem.

Everyone says that the Imperial Concubine is kind, but in reality, she is dark, vicious, and cruel, harming imperial heirs and secretly killing concubines.

The Empress is now seriously ill, the Imperial Noble Consort has died along with her unborn child, and countless other innocent souls have perished, all at her hands.

"Our emperor is really muddle-headed," Yu Banxia scoffed, unsure whether he was genuinely muddle-headed or just pretending.

"How could someone as good as Duke Lu have given birth to such a cruel and vicious daughter?" Yu Banxia wondered.

Duke Lu made great contributions to the Southern Jin Dynasty, fighting on the battlefield and achieving remarkable feats.

If it weren't for the fact that thirteen years ago, when he was beheading the leader of the Western Di on the battlefield, his arm was cut off by the enemy's counterattack, he would probably still be fighting on the battlefield today.

The Lu family's sons are all excellent, but what about their only daughter... tsk tsk...

I wonder what she went through during those twelve years she was missing. What a tragedy.

“Even a good bamboo grove can produce bad bamboo shoots. Besides, she’s been missing for over ten years. Who knows what happened?” Uncle Yanping sneered.

Yu Banxia nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.

“Your body is no longer afraid of toxins, but as long as you continue to investigate, that woman probably won’t let you go. After you leave, I’ll prepare some more medicine for you to protect yourself.”

"As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a knife in the open but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark; it's always good to keep it."

Hearing her words, Uncle Yanping chuckled and said, "What, you don't want me to leave?"

"If I said yes, would you stay for me? Forget all that hatred, and spend your whole life with me here, living in anonymity, as a small businessman?"

Yu Banxia suddenly asked seriously.

Uncle Yanping was silent for a moment before speaking: "Miss Yu, you should know that I love you."

Yu Banxia choked for a moment, then frankly admitted, "I know, I also have feelings for you."

Uncle Yanping got the answer he wanted, and a smile appeared on his lips.

“Miss Yu, if you were to ask, I’m afraid I really wouldn’t be able to resist staying, but I know you won’t.”

Yu Banxia laughed: "Oh? How do you know I won't? I'm a selfish woman. Since we're mutually interested, why can't we get married?"

"Stay here for my sake, and never get involved in those dangerous things again."

"Am I the kind of woman who would force my own elder sister to become a concubine to achieve my goals?"

Uncle Yanping suddenly stood up, startling Yu Banxia, ​​who quickly turned to look.

Looking at his broad back, I swallowed hard and quickly turned my head away.

"Don't get up, you're still soaking in the medicinal bath." Yu Banxia quickly spoke up, and only when she heard Uncle Yanping sit back down did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Why are you getting so agitated when you're just talking?"

Hearing her complaints, Uncle Yanping was not angry. He pursed his lips and spoke after a long time.

“You are not a selfish woman. Although I have only known you for a short time, you are not the kind of unreasonable and selfish woman you describe.”

“Miss Yu, I, Yan, am fond of you and wish to marry you.”

"I wish I could carry you home right now, marry you, spoil you rotten, and give you everything I have."

"But not now. I'm in danger, and I can't ask you to take the risk with me."

“Lu Qingmei’s methods are ruthless and cruel. If she finds out that your master and I are living in seclusion here, not to mention the people of Anping Village.”

"I'm afraid the lives of everyone in the entire Yunshan Town are in danger."

Yu Banxia smiled when she heard his words.

The man she set her sights on was indeed excellent—smart and cunning.

He's passed the first hurdle.

“A cunning and glib man, you’ve passed the first test.” Hearing Yu Banxia’s words, Uncle Yanping was taken aback, then the corners of his mouth turned up even higher.

Was this girl actually testing him?

"So, you're willing to marry me?" Uncle Yanping was overjoyed.

Yu Banxia quickly spoke up to stop her: "I didn't say that. You should get out of danger first."

"You're investigating the case covertly now, so she doesn't dare to openly target you."

"Well, that's true."

"Now that you've cleared the poison, when do you plan to leave?" Yu Banxia asked.

Uncle Yanping chuckled lightly: "No rush. His Majesty knew and permitted my departure from the camp due to my serious illness. Although Lu Qingmei knew that I had come to Yongle Prefecture, she did not know exactly where I was going."

"They only thought that I knew that Imperial Physician Jingzhong was in Yongle Prefecture and came to seek medical help."

"And I also want to wait for your master to return so I can ask him for some information," Uncle Yanping said truthfully.

Yu Banxia nodded. She got up from the hot spring, changed her clothes, and said to him, "You can get up now."

"Okay." Uncle Yanping nodded, and Yu Banxia secretly glanced at his abs. No wonder this man had such a good physique; it turned out he had been in the military camp for a long time.

"By the way, Miss Yu, would you be willing to do business with me?" Uncle Yan suppressed a laugh, stealing a glance at her smug little face.

Yu Banxia looked up at him, puzzled, and asked, "What kind of business?"

"I've observed that your wound medicine is quite good. Could you supply it in large quantities? The border and military camps are in dire need of good wound medicine."

"And the hemostatic powder too."

Upon hearing his words, Yu Banxia's eyes widened instantly. Was this overwhelming wealth just falling from the sky?

“Of course we can mass-produce it, but this immense wealth shouldn’t be reserved for me alone,” Yu Banxia suddenly replied, leaving Uncle Yanping somewhat puzzled.

Yu Banxia said, "His Majesty must also value the Ningguo Duke's Mansion very much, right?"

"Yes, His Majesty treats our Ningguo Duke's Mansion fairly well, and for the time being, we are still in a stage of trust."

"That's why Lu Qingmei didn't dare to attack me openly, but only dared to use despicable and underhanded methods to deal with me." Whenever Uncle Yanping mentioned Lu Qingmei, his aura would turn several degrees colder.

Yu Banxia smiled: "So, I'm going to give you the prescription. My requirement is that you only need to extract two-tenths of the profit."
