~8 min read 1,543 words

At this time, the General's Mansion.

The Old Master was still thinking about how to make the Regent voluntarily annul the marriage, when he saw the doorman run in hurriedly.

"Marquis, Marquis, it's not good—"

"Bang—"

Yun Yongyuan's thoughts, which were in deep reflection, were interrupted, and he was so angry he slapped the table, "What's not good? I am very good."

The doorman was cowed by the roar, but thinking of the person who had arrived, the doorman still swallowed his saliva, "No—Marquis—it's—"

The doorman's subsequent words naturally couldn't be finished.

Because, he had already felt the icy aura coming from behind.

Of course, he didn't need to finish his words, because Yun Yongyuan had already seen the person who had arrived.

Seeing the person, Yun Yongyuan's body trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to stand up.

But, thinking of something, his buttocks stuck firmly to the chair, and he didn't move.

And his old face was stiff at this moment, his eyes wide as he looked at the person who had arrived.

The person who had arrived was none other than Ye Lanjue.

Even though Ye Lanjue had deliberately restrained the aura on his body, to others, it was still imposing.

Ye Lanjue glanced coldly at the doorman, displeasure in his eyes.

He had heard everything the doorman said just now; he had arrived, and it wasn't good? What kind of logic was that?

The doorman was looked at with that gaze and immediately knelt down in fear.

Yun Yongyuan saw this and only felt that the servants of the General's Mansion were too cowardly, a disgrace.

"Still not going to watch the door, you're embarrassing me here," Yun Yongyuan roared.

The doorman heard this and subconsciously looked at Ye Lanjue.

Seeing that Ye Lanjue had no intention of objecting, he crawled out.

Yun Yongyuan: "..." He wanted to hold his forehead; he couldn't bear to look.

Once the doorman left, only Yun Yongyuan, Huailin, Ye Lanjue, and Chen Feng remained in the hall.

After a silence, Yun Yongyuan tightened his face and asked with a not-so-good tone, "Does the Regent have business at my humble abode?"

Beneath the mask, Ye Lanjue frowned slightly, but nodded, "Mn, I have business—"

On the other side, Yun Qiyue was trying to understand the Princess's physical condition through side-probing.

However, Qin Huaijing and Xuanyuan Rao had been in a cold war for too long, and Qin Huaijing knew nothing about the Princess's physical condition.

And Yun Qiyue's side-probing finally allowed Qin Huaijing to see the clues, "Qiyue, tell me honestly, Rao... has her body developed a problem?"

At this moment, Qin Huaijing had great trust in Yun Qiyue's medical skills, so the questions Yun Qiyue asked made him think first of Xuanyuan Rao's health.

Although Qin Huaijing was frowning when he asked this, Yun Qiyue could clearly see the worry in his eyes.

"It's not that, I just wanted to give the Princess a check-up, but the Princess she..."

Yun Qiyue didn't finish; she didn't know how to say it either.

Qin Huaijing knew it in his heart and said to Yuqing on the side: "Go and invite the Princess over."

Yuqing heard this and went to carry out the order.

And Princess Xuanyuan Rao, upon learning that Qin Huaijing was inviting her, was surprised first, then frowned, "What business does the Prince Consort have inviting this Princess?"

Xuanyuan Rao looked at Yuqing with sharp eyes.

Facing Xuanyuan Rao's sharp gaze, Yuqing remained calm, "My master only invited the Princess over, and said nothing else."

Xuanyuan Rao frowned.

Thinking of Yun Qiyue, her eyes deepened, and she stared at Yuqing, "Did Yun Qiyue say something that made him invite me over?"

Yuqing: "This subordinate does not know."

Xuanyuan Rao was somewhat angry, but still stood up, flicked her sleeves, and said coldly: "You had better not know."

As she spoke, Xuanyuan Rao didn't continue to press, stood up, and walked out.

Yuqing saw this and followed behind.

Soon, Xuanyuan Rao arrived at Qin Huaijing's residence; when she arrived, Qin Huaijing and Yun Qiyue were drinking tea, the scene harmonious.

This scene was incomparably familiar to Xuanyuan Rao, and because of this, it deeply pierced Xuanyuan Rao's eyes.

Thus, Xuanyuan Rao's complexion cooled a few degrees, "The Prince Consort has such a good mood, but I don't know what business you have inviting me over?"

Xuanyuan Rao's voice was very cold, with a hint of sarcasm.

Yun Qiyue even keenly felt that Xuanyuan Rao's sarcasm was directed at her, which made Yun Qiyue's brows knit even tighter.

Qin Huaijing also frowned slightly, but didn't immediately answer Xuanyuan Rao's words, instead soothing Yun Qiyue, "She just has that temper, don't mind it."

Yun Qiyue only curled her lips.

She felt that Qin Huaijing saying such things in this situation seemed inappropriate.

Sure enough, the next moment, she heard Xuanyuan Rao say coldly, "The Prince Consort had someone call me over, surely it wasn't to crusade against me, right?"

Yun Qiyue could clearly feel that the Princess's anger had grown.

At this moment, Yun Qiyue even had a feeling that the Princess's prejudice against her most likely originated from the Prince Consort.

Or rather, it had something to do with the Prince Consort.

Before the Prince Consort could speak again, Yun Qiyue hurriedly stood up and said to Xuanyuan Rao, "Princess, you misunderstood. Uncle Qin is concerned about the Princess's health and wanted me to take the Princess's pulse."

When Xuanyuan Rao heard this, her expression stiffened slightly, and she couldn't help but glance at Qin Huaijing, finally letting her gaze fall on Yun Qiyue.

"Really?"

No one saw that Xuanyuan Rao's hand was slightly clenched into a fist.

Yun Qiyue saw that Xuanyuan Rao's tone was clearly better than before, and she didn't look as angry, so she felt more confident.

So she nodded, "How would this subject dare to lie to the Princess?"

When Xuanyuan Rao heard this, her complexion softened somewhat.

However, thinking of Yun Qiyue wanting to take her pulse earlier, she still frowned.

But, in the end, she didn't say anything, only saying coldly: "Since you want to take my pulse so much, then I will give you a chance."

As she spoke, Xuanyuan Rao sat down in the position Yun Qiyue had just occupied.

Yun Qiyue placed her hand on Xuanyuan Rao's wrist, and instantly, the various conditions of the Princess's body appeared in Yun Qiyue's mind.

However, after all the information about the Princess's body was transmitted, Yun Qiyue couldn't help but frown.

The Princess's physical fitness was very good; the only point was that she was infertile.

It could be seen that infertility wasn't a major illness, so why did the system issue her such a treatment task?

Yun Qiyue was completely puzzled, but given the system's unreliable performance every time, Yun Qiyue didn't intend to ask.

And Qin Huaijing, seeing Yun Qiyue taking the pulse for a long time without a conclusion, felt a hint of urgency in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated, and his face returned to indifference; except for Yuqing, no one saw it.

At this time, Xuanyuan Rao happened to look at Qin Huaijing, and seeing that there was not a hint of concern on Qin Huaijing's face, only indifference, her complexion turned ugly again.

Without thinking, Xuanyuan Rao pulled out her hand.

"Enough, you've taken it for so long, have you found anything?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue hurriedly said: "Has the Princess ever fallen into water in the winter?"

This was the cause of infertility that Yun Qiyue had found.

However, what was originally a very ordinary question made both Qin Huaijing and Xuanyuan Rao change their expressions at the same time.

Qin Huaijing looked at Xuanyuan Rao, while Xuanyuan Rao glared at Yun Qiyue.

This sudden change made Yun Qiyue startle.

She didn't understand why she was being glared at when she was just stating a fact.

Qin Huaijing spoke at this time, "She did indeed fall into the water, and—it was to save me—"

"Enough, old matters, no need to mention them again." Xuanyuan Rao didn't look at Qin Huaijing, but there was a hint of pain in her eyes.

There was a story between the two. Yun Qiyue was very certain.

But, other people's stories were not her goal today.

Her only goal today was to treat Qin Huaijing and Xuanyuan Rao.

Qin Huaijing's acupuncture was already finished, so only Xuanyuan Rao remained.

"Princess, your body—"

"Shut up!"

Xuanyuan Rao roared.

There seemed to be urgency in the roar, as if she didn't want Yun Qiyue to reveal anything.

Then, after roaring, fearing that she would expose something, Xuanyuan Rao hurriedly stood up, preparing to leave.

Although Yun Qiyue didn't know why Xuanyuan Rao didn't want Qin Huaijing to know about the problem with her body, she didn't want to miss today's opportunity.

So, as Xuanyuan Rao was about to leave, Yun Qiyue shouted: "The Princess's problem is not big, I can treat it—"

Xuanyuan Rao turned back abruptly, glaring coldly at Yun Qiyue.

That look was somewhat fierce.

And Yun Qiyue, at this very moment, did not avoid Xuanyuan Rao's gaze, her eyes very firm. ===== CHAPTER 134 =====
