After the old woman sat down, Yu Yunxi began to touch the woman’s head. She murmured, “There’s something here…’

She was still examining the old woman’s head so she did not have a free hand.

As such, she called out naturally, “Feng Yili, bring me the silver needles.”

Everyone fell silent as soon as she spoke, surprised that she addressed Feng Yili by his name. After all, they heard that Feng Yili did not have a very good temper. They wondered if he would be angered by her. They looked at Yu Yunxi nervously, worried about her.

Unexpectedly, not only was Feng Yili not angry, but he also quietly brought her the silver needles and asked, “Is there anything else you need?”

“No,” Yu Yunxi said, shaking her head before she performed acupuncture on the old woman.

After half an incense stick of time had passed, she pulled out the silver needles and asked, “Granny, how do you feel?”

“It doesn’t hurt anymore! Princess Consort, you’re amazing!” the old woman said, surprised and excited.

“You’re too kind. Actually, there was a blood clot behind your ear. Doctor Liu couldn’t examine you earlier so he didn’t notice it. It’s good that you feel better now,” Yu Yunxi explained with a smile.

With this, more and more people trusted the Revival Hall.

Feng Yili stood at the side as he watched Yu Yunxi continue to perform acupuncture on other patients. His gaze was very gentle when he looked at her. Not only was she his Princess Consort, but she was also Doctor Yu. He thought that it would be great if they could continue to live like this in the future.

However, his gaze suddenly turned cold when he thought about something.

It was said that the Imperial Preceptor would be returning to the capital in two days. If the other party dared to do anything to Yu Yunxi, Feng Yili was determined to make the other party with his blood this time.

Late at night.

After a busy day, Yu Yunxi finally removed the silver needles for the last patient. She said to everyone, “Everyone, you’ve worked hard today.”

The doctors quickly shook their heads.

“Princess Consort, we didn’t work as hard as you did.”

In their opinion, Yu Yunxi had a noble status, but she actually worked in the medical hall like an ordinary doctor. This was something they could not even imagine before.

“Alright, all of you should go back and rest. In the future, the Revival Hall still has to rely on all of you,” Yu Yunxi said.

After everyone left, Yu Yunxi packed her things and prepared to leave with Qian Jiao.

At this moment, someone said in a low voice from the corner, “Princess Consort, did you forget something?”

‘Forget something?’

Yu Yunxi was stunned.

Qian Jiao reminded helplessly, “Princess Consort, you forgot that the Prince

Regent is still here.”

‘Oh, right. Feng Yili.’

Yu Yunxi quickly turned around and asked, surprised, “Why are you still here? I thought you’d left long ago.”

Feng Yili:

‘It seems like my position in her heart isn’t as high as that of the commoners…’ a certain Prince Regent thought to himself sourly.

He rose to his feet and strode toward her. He held her hand and said in a low voice, “Alright, let’s go home. You must be exhausted.”

Yu Yunxi raised her head and said seriously, “Mm. Feng Yili, let me tell you. When I was treating the commoners today, I had an idea. Perhaps I can try to concoct the antidote for the Springwood Separation poison again.”

‘She still remembers the Springwood Separation poison lingering in my body.

It seems like I still hold a high position in her heart…’

Feng Yili was in a good mood immediately. He nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll leave it all up to you…”

In the carriage.

The streets were quiet because it was already late at night. Only the sounds of the carriage wheels and the horses’ hooves could be heard. Occasionally, the voices of the guards on the night watch could be heard in the distance.

Yu Yunxi had just dozed off in the carriage when the carriage suddenly shook violently, waking her up.

“Jiang Ying, what happened?” Feng Yili asked grimly.

“Your Royal Highness, someone seems to have encountered assassins up ahead,” Jiang Ying hurriedly reported the situation.

‘Someone encountered assassins?’

Yu Yunxi’s drowsiness disappeared immediately, and she quickly lifted the curtain to look out.

Not far away, a dozen assassins surrounded a young man and his two subordinates. The assassins were very skilled in martial arts, and their attacks were ruthless. The young man was in a sorry state and looked like he was about to collapse.

At this moment, Jiang Ying asked curiously, “Why does that person look so familiar?”

‘Familiar?’

Feng Yili looked over. It did not take long before his eyes glinted coldly, and he said, “It’s the Third Prince.”

‘What? The young man is actually Feng Wei’an, the Third Prince?’ Yu Yunxi was shocked.

“Jiang Ying, save him,” Feng Yili ordered.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”

Jiang Ying drew his sword immediately.

Yu Yunxi wanted to follow Jiang Ying out, but Feng Yili held her hand and said,

“You stay in the carriage. I’ll go.”

With that, Feng Yili left the carriage.

With the presence of Feng Yili and the others, Feng Wei’an’s situation improved greatly.

Yu Yunxi watched quietly from the side as she thought about what she knew about Feng Wei’an.

Feng Wei’an’s mother was a palace maid. As such, he was considered extremely lowly among the many princes. Due to his background, he also did not have the support of many officials in his bid for the throne.

Yu Yunxi had interacted with a few other princes quite a few times, but she really did not have much interaction with Feng Wei’an.

Meanwhile, it did not take long for Feng Yili to deal with the assassins. In the end, the few survivors were forced to retreat and escape.

Jiang Ying wanted to give chase, but Feng Yili said, “Don’t chase after them. We don’t know if there’ll be an ambush.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”

At this moment, Feng Wei’an said, still panting, “Thank you, Ninth Imperial

Uncle.”

Feng Wei’an’s face was pale, and his white robe was stained with blood. He was on the verge of fainting.

At this time, Yu Yunxi got out of the carriage. When she saw the state Feng Wei’an was in, she said with a frown, “Third Prince, you’re injured.” Feng Wei’an turned to look at Yu Yunxi. “Ninth Imperial Aunt, I, I…”

However, before he could finish speaking, Feng Wei’an fainted.

Jiang Ying quickly supported Feng Wei’an, preventing the latter from falling to the ground.

“Quick, carry him into the carriage. I’ll check his injuries,” Yu Yunxi said urgently.

“Yes, Princess Consort.”

Jiang Ying did not dare to delay and quickly carried Feng Wei’an into the carriage.

Yu Yunxi tore Feng Wei’an’s robe open and saw a huge wound that spanned from his chest to his shoulder. It was a rather shocking sight. She inhaled sharply before she asked Jiang Ying and Qian Jiao to get medicine from the

Revival Hall.

“I’ll stop the bleeding first,” Yu Yunxi said in a grave tone.

In the next moment, Yu Yunxi discovered another injury at Feng Wei’an’s waist. She pushed his robe further aside so she could have a better look at the wound when she saw a symbol next to his wound. Her expression changed drastically.

‘Isn’t this the symbol of Xinan’s guards?’
