Seeing her, Lü Qin stopped and bowed slightly.
"The princess was willful and lost her manners. Her Highness specially ordered this servant to send some tonics, and I hope the Princess Consort will accept them and not dwell on this matter any further."
This remark was somewhat unexpected to Feng Yin Wan.
Glancing at the tonics in the room, she immediately nodded, "Please relay to Consort Rong, we are all family, there's no need to be so formal. This Princess Consort is the sister-in-law of Princess Qing Yun, and naturally, I won't take this small matter to heart."
Lü Qin smiled gently, nodded, and left.
The tonics were indeed excellent. Feng Yin Wan stepped forward, examined them for a moment, and then carried them into the room.
Qing Ruo wanted to follow but was stopped by her. "This Princess Consort is a bit tired. You wait outside and don't need to come in."
Qing Ruo paused slightly at this, then nodded.
"Yes."
She fed all the tonics to the bracelet in one go. Seeing it happily flash several times, Feng Yin Wan licked her lips and tentatively asked.
"Bracelet, Consort Li's body is fundamentally injured. Is there any possibility, I mean, a possibility, that you happen to have the elixirs I need?"
The bracelet paused slightly and flashed quickly, showing its disdain for her unwillingness to make an effort.
Feng Yin Wan: "Huh?"
How could she tolerate this?!
"What are you being arrogant about? I haven't settled the score with you about those elixirs yet!"
Giving her a cheat system was for her to use! Not using a cheat is for idiots!
As if taken aback by her sudden bringing up of past grievances, the bracelet suddenly stopped, and the red light before her eyes abruptly ceased.
Seeing it quiet down in an instant, Feng Yin Wan curved her lips, triumphant.
"Little brat, I can still handle you! Tell me, what's the deal with those elixirs?"
No matter how coincidental it was, they couldn't be exactly the same as those auctioned by the Immortal Medicine Sect, unless they were involved in some unsavory dealings behind the scenes!
Perhaps her gaze was too sharp, and the bracelet remained silent for a long time, not making any noise, just like before.
Feng Yin Wan furrowed her brow and impatiently tapped it with her knuckles. "Don't stay silent, I know you're hiding inside!"
The bracelet remained as quiet as a chicken, unmoved.
"Do you know how much effort I put into obtaining the Qi Gathering Pill to revive you? No, you don't!"
The bracelet: "La la la, can't hear you, turtle chanting sutras."
This thing was even more difficult to handle than expected.
Feng Yin Wan gritted her teeth and used her trump card.
"I knew it, all you bracelets are the same. If they weren't leftovers from someone else, how could they have fallen into my hands!"
"It's a shame you bothered to make these broken things to fool me. How could I be heartbroken by this!"
"Forget it, it's all my own foolishness. I know you have no heart, yet I insisted on talking to you about these things. How could you possibly feel pain? Your heart is made of stone!"
A pill landed on the table with a "plop." Feng Yin Wan glanced at it and raised her eyebrows.
"One pill?"
Seeing her raise her hand to her eye corner, about to unleash her magic attack again, the bracelet tightened and quickly spat out a few more.
Seeing that the empty space beside her was almost full, Feng Yin Wan reached out and nudged them around, finally stopping with satisfaction.
"Are these all for healing the body?"
Consort Li's condition was special, ordinary pills might not work.
The bracelet flashed, indicating agreement.
Feng Yin Wan nodded, put them into her purse one by one, and didn't forget to ask about the main issue.
"By the way, what's the deal with the Immortal Medicine Sect?"
Considering this thing could only answer yes or no, she paused and added helpfully, "Do you have any connection with them?"
Her only reply was endless silence.
The bracelet had successfully played dead again.
She hadn't really expected much from it anyway. Feng Yin Wan raised her beautiful eyes and didn't continue to press, just carrying the bag of pills towards the Imperial Hospital.
...
Spring Joy Palace.
Ye Zi Yun stood in the hall clutching a fan, looking perplexed.
"Mother Consort, she deliberately framed me in front of Father Emperor and made me lose face. Why are you still sending Lü Qin to give her tonics!"
Consort Rong glanced at her, a hint of displeasure in her eyes. "I have already told you to be obedient and not cause trouble. Why didn't you listen?"
"I..."
Ye Zi Yun bit her lip tighter, her knuckles gripping the fan handle even harder. "I'm worried about my brother!"
"The eunuch serving in the Hall of Diligence said that Brother was injured by a scheme. She and her father and brother went to war with Brother, but then they disappeared. Isn't it all obvious!"
And that lowly woman not only showed no remorse but also dared to curse her to be married off. This was simply outrageous!
"Talking nonsense again!"
This reprimand already carried a trace of anger. Consort Rong frowned, her voice also chilling a bit.
"The Emperor most dislikes the interference of the harem in politics. Where did you get the news that I don't even know about! If you spend all your time on such gossip, you won't even know when you're being used as a pawn!"
"Mother Consort..."
"Enough, don't mention this again. Go back to your palace and reflect on yourself!"
With the imperial decree of marriage, the Feng family and the Mo Prince's manor were naturally allied, sharing prosperity and suffering together. But somehow, Ye Zi Yun just didn't understand this logic.
Consort Rong pressed her temples with a hint of weariness, her gaze drifting away from her.
Seeing this, Ye Zi Yun knew she had caused trouble. She pursed her lips, turned, and withdrew.
The palace doors closed. Consort Rong sighed and slowly picked up the teacup in front of her.
"Who did Yun'er see before she went to Kyushu Fragrance today?"
Lü Qin was silent for a moment, her eyelids lowered. "Miss Qin visited the Empress in the palace today."
In an instant, the teacup in Consort Rong's hand was squeezed tightly, her face turning ashen.
"Her again!"
...
Carrying the pills to the Imperial Hospital to study their medicinal properties, Feng Yin Wan selected a few suitable ones and sent them to Consort Li. On her way back, she encountered Imperial Physician Zhao coming from the direction of Zhong Hua Palace, looking as if he had just left Consort Ning's residence.
Her eyes narrowed, and she stopped.
"Imperial Physician Zhao."
Unprepared to meet her here, Imperial Physician Zhao paused and immediately nodded.
"Greetings, Consort Mo."
"You are excused. I saw you coming from Zhong Hua Palace. Has Consort Ning's critical condition been cured?"
Not urgent earlier, not urgent later, but it just had to be urgent after the memorial from the border was sent back. Consort Ning's critical condition was indeed quite urgent.
Imperial Physician Zhao frowned at this and spoke hesitantly.
"To be frank with the Princess Consort, Consort Ning's illness is strange. My medical skills are shallow, and I truly don't know where to find the cause..."
After waiting for an afternoon, the cause still hasn't been found?
Feng Yin Wan frowned. "What does Imperial Physician Zhao mean by that?"
Zhao Chou nodded. "When the acute attack occurred, Consort Ning was disoriented, her body was extremely hot, and her limbs were trembling, showing signs of a stroke. But afterward, her pulse was very normal. I have been treating her for a long time, yet I am still clueless."
This illness was cured entirely by Consort Ning herself.
Feng Yin Wan had not expected this either. She slightly raised her eyebrows and a silent smile curved her lips.
"It seems to be a truly critical illness."
Any slower and it would have been cured.
