She accidentally flirted with the villain and was fiercely criticized as the regent for forcibly mar

Yunmi wanted to stay.

Grandma Honghua refused and chased the person out: "You're so loud and annoying, I find you annoying, get out!"

Yunmi dared not anger her mother-in-law, so she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, her forehead bruised and swollen: "Please, you must save my young lady's life! I will serve you like a slave! She will repay you, and the prince will repay you too. From now on, you can have as much good wine as you want!"

Grandma Honghua picked the person up, threw them out, and slammed the door shut with a bang: "In such a hurry, why all the nonsense!"

Inside the main room.

Zheng Lingyi and her brother did not leave Wenjiazhuang. They stayed here every day. Shao Yunting had to work, but he would come over every day. Although he couldn't help, staying here and waiting meant he could at least know the result as soon as possible, which was better than going back and anxiously waiting.

In case there's anything that needs to be done by them, it will save time in relaying messages!

Zheng Lingyi didn't understand why Shao Yunting rushed over so eagerly, nor did she understand the worry that had risen between his brows. He had always avoided Ningning before, hadn't he?

But she had no time to ask. Her beautiful eyes, filled with worry, were fixed on the closed door as she silently recited scriptures, praying for Ningning: "Good deeds will be rewarded! She was injured while saving someone. Gods and Buddhas! Please protect her and help her get through this ordeal!"

Close the door.

That's when the real tension begins.

In the main room, no one spoke, and the water clock dripped slowly, but it seemed to be much slower than usual.

A long time passed.

Zheng Lingyi glanced at the time displayed on the water clock.

But they found that only half an hour had passed.

The sky outside was still bright, filled with the glow of red clouds.

The air was tinged with the crimson of the sunset, which fell on the plain white window screen, making it appear as if stained with blood.

The door opened.

Everyone stood up.

What arrived was a prescription.

"Quickly go and get the medicine according to the prescription, boil it for 25 minutes, then simmer it over low heat, and boil it down to one bowl with three bowls of water."

The door closed again.

The person is suffering, and the medicine is being simmered.

It's dark now, and the night is deep.

The chirping of cicadas and summer insects in the silence, one after another, makes it impossible for one to find peace of mind.

Xin Yang was in her late pregnancy and felt weak, so she leaned on her husband's shoulder and took a nap.

When I woke up, the sky was just beginning to lighten.

"Still not out?"

Gongsun Changming rubbed her temples: "We've already sent the medicine in twice, and there haven't been any urgent messages coming out, which is a good thing."

Xin Yang nodded.

The first rays of dawn shone from the horizon.

The door to the dormitory room opened.

Everyone stood up in unison, staring intently at Granny Red Flower's mouth.

"How is it?"

Granny Honghua's expression wasn't relaxed; her hair was soaked with sweat. She wiped her face and said, "My life is saved."

Everyone finally relaxed.

"Very good!"

Yun Mi, being honest, knelt down with a thud and kowtowed three times to Granny Honghua: "Thank you so much, divine doctor, for saving my daughter!"

Grandma Honghua waved her hand: "The person who came to invite me gave me what I wanted. It's an equal exchange, no need to thank me!"

Zheng Lingyi pulled Yun Mi inside.

Eleven Crane immediately moved a chair behind Granny Red Flower: "Please sit down!" She then offered her some cool tea: "Please drink!"

Grandma Honghua didn't stand on ceremony, sat down, and gulped down the tea: "Before I left the capital, I wrote a list of medicinal herbs. Did they all arrive?"

"It's here!" Just then, Shisi Yu, who was collecting medicinal herbs, arrived looking travel-worn. "Everything is there!"

Grandma Red Flower raised an eyebrow: "You're quick on your feet!"

They called for paper and pen.

I wrote a new prescription and submitted it.

"Ferment according to the prescription, simmering over medium heat the whole time. Reduce three bowls of water to one bowl. Make sure to add the herbs in the correct order, otherwise it will spoil the medicine. Take one dose each morning and evening." Then he asked, "Who can make decisions regarding the young girl's condition?"

Shao Yunting spoke first: "Her brother entrusted her to my care!"

"Wait!" Xin Yang raised his hand to stop Granny Honghua from revealing to him, "Back then, Jiang Ruixiao asked you to take care of her, and you did nothing. Now you have no right to interfere in her affairs. The divine doctor was invited by the Regent. Since the Regent is not here, I am his own sister, so I can naturally temporarily assume his authority."

"Moreover, I am Ningning's sworn sister. Since her blood relatives are not here, I am naturally in full charge."

Her brother didn't say it, but she noticed his special treatment of Ningning.

If he were to interfere with and arrange things for Ningning, the Emperor would be furious when he returned!

As the younger sister, she had to stop him!

"Ningning's condition is a matter of personal privacy. Please, Duke Shao, leave first."

Shao Yunting clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging, and regret flashed in his eyes.

Who would have thought that he would blindly believe what others said about Jiang Ruining's character and ignore her predicament, only to be met with such a swift and severe backlash!

He had nothing to say.

We have no choice but to push them away first.

Once only his own people were left in the room, Xinyang nodded: "Please speak, Divine Doctor."

Grandma Red Flower encountered a problem, but she remained calm and composed: "The poison of sunset is not a fixed formula. Different poisonous insects and herbs, and different proportions, will produce different poisons."

"Although I forced the toxins out of her body, she was too deeply poisoned. Although I stabilized her heart, the poison had seeped into her lungs and internal organs, making it difficult for her to live a normal life. If we want her to be free from the torment of illness, we need to obtain the poison formula and the antidote."

"Only then can I concoct the exact antidote to clear away the remaining toxins, nourish her internal organs, and prevent her from dying young."

Is it difficult to enjoy a normal lifespan?

Isn't that just saying Ning Meimei will die young?

Xin Yang's heart skipped a beat.

Gongsun Changming also frowned anxiously.

What should we do?!

He hadn't repaid Ning Meimei for saving him, and now that she was in trouble, he couldn't help her. He was so anxious and upset that he even got a blister on his lip.

Xin Yang knew he was anxious, so she gently comforted him: "No matter how insidious the Cui family's faction is, the Regent's Palace, the Jiang family, and the Gongsun family are all trying to find a way to obtain the poison formula and antidote!"

"Sister Ning is very lucky and will be alright."

Gongsun Changming nodded: "You're pregnant and it's been hard on you, I'll take you back to rest."

Xin Yang shook his head: "It's alright. I'll stay here and guard the palace until my brother returns. If I get tired, I'll sleep. Don't worry."

Then he instructed the servants to invite Granny Honghua to the guest room for accommodation.

"Take good care of him and fulfill all his requests."

The servants naturally dared not neglect their duties.

Grandma, carrying the red flower, went out the door.

After a long day of rumbling thunder, a torrential downpour finally began.

A moist, floral-scented breeze lifted the bamboo curtains hanging under the eaves, blowing into the room. It swept past the icy window, bringing a cool breeze that washed away the suffocating summer heat and the stench of poisonous blood, leaving a sweet scent that felt very comforting when inhaled.

By evening, Jiang Ruining had finally woken up.
