After returning home, Yun Dai began frantically reading medical books and classics, stacking them high on the entire table.

This is the only thing she can do now.

We can't just watch two lives be lost!

What if we find inspiration in some secret manual and have a solution?

So engrossed in watching that they didn't even notice someone walk in.

Until a voice suddenly reached my ears...

"Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, and your body won't be able to handle it. Why don't you rest for a bit and then see?"

Yun Dai was startled and looked up abruptly, seeing the man standing in front of her.

"When did you arrive?"

"It's been a while. Seeing that you're engrossed in your reading, I haven't disturbed you. What book has you so absorbed in?"

She instinctively closed the book. "No... it's just an ordinary medical book."

What the other person said next sent a shiver down her spine.

"When you were taking the pulse of the Princess Consort just now, it seemed you were hiding something?"

"No, she's just a little weak..."

"Given our current relationship, are you still going to keep this from me?"

"..."

What is their relationship?

It's nothing more than lust at first sight... cough, greed at first sight!

The account book is still tucked in her arms!

Yun Dai picked up her teacup, trying to hide her embarrassment, but unexpectedly, the other party suddenly dropped a bombshell.

"Is your beloved the Prince Xuan?"

"cough……"

Yun Dai choked on the water and coughed violently.

Help!

If a renowned physician were to drown, it would be a laughingstock.

Jun Jingyan had not expected her reaction to be so intense, and felt very apologetic. He stepped forward and gently patted her back.

It took Yun Dai a while to finally catch her breath.

His face turned bright red, whether from surprise or fright, it was hard to tell.

After a long pause, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Jun Jingyan remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke again: "It was originally just a guess, but now it's certain."

"..."

Yun Dai was undoubtedly terrified.

This guy must have mind-reading abilities, able to see what I'm thinking?

She even reflected on herself, trying to figure out where she had slipped up.

No matter how I thought about it, I couldn't figure it out.

Overwhelmed with shock and astonishment, she was almost bursting with pent-up frustration, but she couldn't very well press him directly, lest she appear to be trying to cover up her grievances.

Seeing how hard she was trying to hold back, Jun Jingyan kindly offered to help her.

"Actually, I've had my suspicions for a while now..."

That day, she inadvertently mentioned that she had a "sweetheart" and revealed that he already had a wife and that the couple were loving and harmonious.

There just happened to be such a couple right next to them!

Furthermore, many times when she made decisions, her eyes would subconsciously look at the Xuan King.

Although it was subtle, or only for a brief moment, he still managed to catch it.

Considering that she was a renowned physician and could have lived a carefree life in the martial world, why would she willingly stay in the Xuanwang Mansion?

He would never believe there was no entanglement involved.

Yun Dai felt as if she were being "publicly executed," with her disguises being exposed layer by layer.

Stop talking!

Since Jun Jingyan has chosen to expose this matter, he will naturally not give her a chance to escape.

"I've been wondering, what kind of man could possibly hold a place in your heart? If it's the Xuan King, then everything makes sense! He saved you, and you chose to repay his kindness by staying by the Xuan King's side to take care of her, repeatedly coming to her rescue when she encountered trouble or was in danger..."

"..."

Does he really have mind-reading abilities?

The truth was almost identical to what he said, and nearly identical as well.

Now that things have come to this, even if she denies it outright, he probably won't believe her, and he might even make things worse by trying to explain.

Even if she denies it now, he wouldn't believe her; in fact, it would only make things worse.

Finally, she resigned herself to her fate.

"You absolutely mustn't tell anyone!"

Jun Jingyan was startled.

It really is the Xuan King!

Guessing is one thing, but hearing her admit it herself is a completely different feeling.

Before the truth was revealed, he was constantly battling with that man in his heart.

I never expected that my "love rival" would be right next to me!

Xuanwang is a peerless hero and also a close friend of his. Isn't there no room for comparison?

He suppressed the complex emotions in his heart and asked softly, "So, do you still have feelings for him?"

"Are you kidding me? If I hadn't given up on them long ago, watching them being so loving every day would have driven me crazy! I genuinely wish them well!"

Seeing her open and carefree demeanor, without the slightest hint of restraint, Jun Jingyan finally felt relieved.

The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water; it seems they have truly returned to being friends.

"Does Princess Xuan know about this?"

"..."

This is a very difficult question to answer.

Shen Fu only knew that she had a one-sided love for Rong Yan, but she didn't know it was the Prince Xuan!

If she finds out they are the same person, it will probably cause a huge uproar.

This must never be told!

Seeing her wary and guarded expression again, Jun Jingyan quickly offered an explanation.

"Don't misunderstand, the Xuan King and his wife are not only your benefactors, but also mine. They have helped me and Anning many times, and I have always hoped to have the opportunity to repay them. You can tell me your problem, and we will work together to find a solution."

Yun Dai felt a wave of discouragement wash over her.

How can one expect others to solve a problem that even a saintly healer like himself cannot?

However, he has already figured it out, so it's probably impossible to hide it from him now.

So she told her about Shen Fu's abnormal pregnancy and the bloodline curse.

However, she chose to conceal the true identity of a certain man and the truth about the Underworld Palace.

She knew in her heart that even if he found out about the former, nothing would happen, but it was uncertain about the latter.

After all, the Underworld Palace is a taboo subject for all four kingdoms!

She hadn't held out much hope, but Jun Jingyan's expression suddenly hardened after hearing this.

This is remarkably similar to a record in a historical book about Mount Tai that he had recently read!

Of the four kingdoms, Dongyue is the most mysterious.

Located in the east, Mount Tai is mostly composed of islands and surrounded by waterways.

They were extremely skilled in naval warfare, and their combat prowess was unparalleled.

The three kingdoms, situated on the mainland, lacked both well-equipped warships and skilled naval warfare experience, making them utterly powerless to resist.

Therefore, over the years, the Northern Dynasties and other states have been constantly at odds, with war raging across their territories, yet they have never dared to covet even a fraction of Mount Tai.

They lived in seclusion, rarely interacting with the outside world.

No one expected that they would take the initiative to send a letter of alliance and even send the Crown Prince of Dongyue with envoys to visit.

They had also secretly investigated the matter.

It is learned that Crown Prince Dongyue's mission to Dayong is not only a diplomatic visit, but also carries a secret mission—to find his long-lost sister!
