"Please let Miss Ning enter," Princess Ningde ordered in a deep voice.
The servant immediately bowed and rushed out.
Watching the servant hastily run out of the manor, Princess Ningde's eyes were filled with complexity. She said to Zhen Lin, "Brother, let her take your pulse one last time to complete her treatment this time."
Zhen Lin suddenly clenched his fist.
She's here, she's still here...
Although Yun Yueyin had been reprimanded by Zhen Lin, she was incredibly happy inside, her lips curling uncontrollably. Yun Shu, oh Yun Shu, you have days like this too!
Today, I'll be among those who kill you!
At the same time, in front of the gates of Pingyang Manor.
Yun Shu and Qiu Lu stood at the entrance waiting.
A faint, serene smile graced her lips.
But Qiu Lu behind her was filled with a chilling cold. He could sense danger lurking everywhere; this was a grand trap! Was Pingyang Manor repaying the lady's kindness with enmity?
"Miss," Qiu Lu called out in a low voice.
Yun Shu nodded imperceptibly, "Mm." What Qiu Lu could detect, she had naturally noticed as well.
Setting such a grand scene, was it just a few factions acting together?
The smile on Yun Shu's lips deepened meaningfully.
Seeing her arrive, the servants' expressions were shocked, as if they had been waiting for her for a long time.
She glanced at the sky outside. The sun would set in a little over an hour; that was fine.
A servant quickly ran back, panting.
It was as if Yun Shu would leave if he ran back any slower.
Seeing this, Yun Shu let out a soft laugh.
"The Princess and the Heir ask Miss Ning to come in," the servant said quickly after catching his breath.
"Alright," Yun Shu nodded lightly and followed the servant inside.
Qiu Lu followed closely behind.
This was the first time the servant had seen Qiu Lu. In the past, Miss Ning was always accompanied by Miss Xiao Qing. Why was she with a man today?
The servant hesitated and finally asked, "May I ask who this is..."
"Mm, my disciple," Yun Shu replied casually.
The servant suddenly understood. Miss Ning's medical skills were extraordinary, so it was normal for her to have many disciples.
However, this male disciple didn't seem as approachable as Miss Xiao Qing.
For some reason, the Princess had ordered them to report immediately when Miss Ning arrived, and to inform her whenever Miss Ning appeared at the manor gates.
They didn't know why, but judging by the expressions of the Princess and the Heir, it seemed like a very important matter.
As Yun Shu entered Pingyang Manor, the smile on her lips deepened even further.
A net of heaven and earth, tightly woven.
Was this kind of setup a bit of a waste for her?
Having lived in Pingyang Manor for nearly twenty days, she was quite familiar with it.
The servant directly led her to Princess Ningde's residence.
There were only a few maids tidying up and serving in the courtyard, appearing no different from usual.
Yun Shu followed the servant inside.
As she stepped through the doorway and over the threshold, she looked up at the people in the room, her red lips slowly curving, "My apologies, I am late."
The gazes of the three people in the room immediately turned towards Yun Shu as she entered.
Yun Shu was still wearing the same fake face as the previous two days, appearing without any flaws.
It was as if she were just there for a routine follow-up visit.
Zhen Lin gazed at Yun Shu. He had seen many people in disguise, and he had seen people wearing intricately made false faces, but with a closer look, he could always find cracks and flaws.
However, he couldn't detect the slightest imperfection in Yun Shu before him. xxs壹贰
Her face was so flawlessly perfect that it was impossible to tell it was a fake. He suddenly recalled Yun Yueyin's words from earlier; her true appearance was definitely not as ordinary as what he saw now.
Princess Ningde stared intently at Yun Shu, wanting to see something through Yun Shu's face, or perhaps to know what Yun Shu was thinking at this moment, and why she insisted on coming to the Western Xia Kingdom.
Yun Yueyin slightly raised her chin. She had previously felt panic thinking that if Ning Ruan was Yun Shu, she would be extremely flustered, afraid of her secrets being revealed. But now that Princess Ningde knew all her secrets, she had nothing to fear from Yun Shu!
Moreover, Yun Shu might lose her life today; what else was there to be afraid of?
Yun Shu understood everything at a glance, taking in the expressions of the three.
The atmosphere froze briefly.
Then, in the next moment, Princess Ningde spoke, her voice and tone no different from usual, "Miss Ning has finally arrived. My brother has been restless all day, and I am very worried. Knowing Miss Ning would come, I have been waiting here."
"Alright, I'll take a look," Yun Shu nodded lightly and walked over.
Zhen Lin looked deeply at Yun Shu without speaking. As he watched Yun Shu approach, he secretly took a deep breath and said softly, "Thank you, Miss Ning."
Qiu Lu walked over with Yun Shu.
At first, the three in the room hadn't noticed Qiu Lu. When they saw that it wasn't Miss Xiao Qing accompanying Yun Shu today but a man, they were all somewhat surprised.
Princess Ningde's eyes flickered, "This is..."
"Another one of my disciples," Yun Shu replied with the same excuse as before.
Princess Ningde knew that they were definitely not disciples. Miss Xiao Qing from before was also not a disciple; they were likely guards or maids accompanying her.
She didn't expose Yun Shu, as it wasn't the time yet.
A play had to be performed slowly to be enjoyed.
After entering, Qiu Lu spotted Yun Yueyin. He hadn't expected her to be alive in the Western Xia Kingdom and to cause trouble for Miss! Truly detestable!
Sensing Qiu Lu's gaze, Yun Yueyin felt uneasy. Another person who knew her identity?
Hmph!
So what if they knew her identity?
Yun Shu knew her identity too, and yet she was going to lose her life today?
"There is no serious issue. All the remaining poison in your body has been cleared. From now on, you only need to recuperate according to the prescription and diet I have left. As for the restlessness, it is likely due to poor sleep these past two days. Adjust your sleep for a few days and it will be fine," Yun Shu said after withdrawing her hand.
Zhen Lin kept staring at Yun Shu.
Unlike in the past, when he wouldn't dare to be so bold, for fear of startling or frightening her.
But today, he truly wanted to see what kind of person was hidden beneath that face of hers!
What was her true self like?
Yun Shu raised her eyes and saw Zhen Lin looking at her. She calmly met his gaze without any pretense, "Does the Heir have any other questions?"
Seeing this, Zhen Lin abruptly retracted his gaze, his heart pounding. He didn't dare to meet her eyes. He secretly tightened his fist and replied in a low voice, "No, thank you for making this trip, Miss Ning."
"Since I have accepted your payment, I will naturally ensure your health is fine," Yun Shu said with a faint smile.
Princess Ningde's face was somewhat pale, whether due to two days and one night of sleeplessness, or because Yun Shu remained so calm and composed, or perhaps due to a complex mix of emotions.
