Even if it may not be completely effective, Fucheng still intended to try it. It could be considered as feeding medicine to a dead horse.

He went to see Mammy Mu, and after a brief conversation, Mammy Mu agreed with little hesitation.

Although she loved the little princess, she also understood that Jin Wang was like the sky in this mansion. When a bird’s nest is overturned, no egg could remain intact. Mammy Mu knew this very well.

It was the fact that Jin Wang was poisoned that shocked Mammy Mu. She hadn’t known about it before. It was because Jin Wang was afraid that she would harm her body from worrying at her old age that he kept it from her.

Fucheng had planned to do everything in private then tell Jin Wang about it when everything was ready. Later, after talking with Mammy Mu, he decided not to hide it.

As a servant, the higher the position, the less they could deceive their master. Otherwise, they would attract unwarranted suspicion. On the surface, Fucheng’s idea was to prevent Jin Wang from getting his hope up for nothing, but who knows what Jin Wang would think. Would he be willing to let Fucheng and Mammy Mu act as the masters?

In particular, the little princess is different from ordinary people. She was the only heir of Jin Wang, so there must be no negligence.

After Fucheng went back, he told Jin Wang about this matter. Jin Wang only hesitated for a brief while before nodding in agreement.

When the blood was collected, Jin Wang was personally present. With Doctor Liu there, the little princess suffered minimal pain.

He only took a small bowl of blood, which seemed to be not much, but for a baby, it was quite a lot. Mammy Mu felt distressed inside and couldn’t help but sigh again and again.

Doctor Liu took the blood and went to make medicine behind closed doors. Although Jin Wang didn’t say anything, Doctor Liu knew very well that if he failed this time, there would be no next time. After Jin Wang returned, he gave orders to lift Side Consort Hu’s ban. Although most people in the residence didn’t know why, a few insiders knew that it was because of the face of the little princess, who had suffered this time.

But in the eyes of outsiders, this Side Consort Hu couldn’t be beaten to death. It was different having a child to support her. His Highness had only gone to see the little princess twice but still chose to slap the consort’s face and release her.

Side Consort Hu was placed under house arrest because of Lady Su, who was greatly favoured by His Highness. Now that her ban was lifted, who knew how furious Lady Su would be?

For a while, there were a lot of people waiting to watch the show, but what was unexpected was that Rongxi Courtyard remained quiet. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

His Highness went every day as usual, and there was no sign of Lady Su falling out of favour at all.

The autumn breeze was blowing, the fallen leaves were flying, and the weather was not so good these past few days.

The sky was gray, covered in layers of gray clouds, making people feel anxious for no reason.

Yan’er hesitantly looked at the majestic prince’s residence not far away and felt timid. For a long while, she stayed rooted to the spot, not daring to get closer.

“Why are you here?”

A group of soldiers walked over. The head of the soldiers wore a serious look on his face and had a voice like thunder. Yan’er was so scared that she started to tremble and fell to the ground.

“I, I came to the prince’s residence to find someone.”

“If you are looking for someone, then go look for them! What’s the point of standing here like a freak?!”

Yan’er was scared to the point of almost crying. She cleared her throat and said, “I’m really here to look for someone. My sister-in-law works here and this is my first time coming here…”

After Yaoniang left that day, Yan’er was forbidden to go out. Yao Cheng asked Mrs. Li to find someone to marry her quickly. Although Mrs. Li felt reluctant, she didn’t dare to anger his son. She found an old acquaintance of hers to act as a matchmaker, saying that she had no requirements for her future in-laws.

Finally, a few potential matches were found but Yan’er refused all of them by causing a scene at home.

Later, Yao Cheng became furious and chose a family himself. A date was set with the other party, and the only thing that remained was for Yan’er to marry over.

This family was an ordinary farmer family from a small village in Linyun County. The man had never married and was poor. The few members of the family depended on only two acres of fields for a living.

But Yao Cheng had seen that this man was an honest man. Even if he wasn’t fond of Yan’er, he wouldn’t push his sister into the fire pit.

This family was introduced by a woman who was acquainted with Mrs. Li. The man was too poor and there were too many sons in the family, so he never married a wife. He didn’t care whether Yan’er was a virgin or whether she could give birth. Of course, the main reason why the other party agreed so readily was that the Yao Family not only didn’t require a betrothal gift but also paid fifty taels of silver as dowry for Yan’er.

Long story short, for Yan’er to finally get married, the Yao Family and the Li Family were all relieved.

But Yan’er was unwilling. Ever since she saw Jin Wang that day, all she could think of was that handsome prince.

The prince was not only handsome but also powerful. From Yan’er’s point of view, he was everything she had ever dreamed of. Ever since meeting Jin Wang, Yan’er had fallen ill with lovesickness, so how could she be willing to marry another man?
