From a distance, Han Tianci saw Yun Jinnian and sprinted over, throwing himself into Yun Jinnian’s arms, "Sister!"
"It’s alright, I’m back now!"
Han Tianci nodded vigorously, not daring to ask where Yun Jinnian had gone.
Especially after Yun Jinnian changed her clothes.
Upon entering the room, Yuwen Ya had gone out to search for her and not yet returned, while Prince Yanjun was indeed present.
After greeting Prince Yanjun with a bow, Yun Jinnian slowly said, "The person who abducted me last night was surnamed Zhou, from the Great Zhou Kingdom, already of age, frail in body, but it was clear he was of no small standing!"
"Great Zhou Kingdom, poor health, and already of age, accompanied by a wet nurse and guard, then there’s only one person..." Chu Yu’s eyebrows furrowed as he spoke.
"Who?" Yun Jinnian asked.
Han Tianci also looked on curiously at Chu Yu.
"Crown Prince Zhou Yunshen!"
Yun Jinnian was taken aback, "Could it just be a coincidence?"
"We don’t know yet, let’s wait for the Hidden Guard to bring back news," Chu Yu said as he poured tea for Yun Jinnian, "Did you treat his ailment?"
"Yes," Yun Jinnian nodded.
"Quite serious, if not treated and conditioned in time, it could affect his offspring!"
That was the truth from Yun Jinnian.
And Zhou Yunshen did not force Yun Jinnian to stay because he had heard what she said to Aunt Tan, that she would exhaust all means to make him childless and lead a life worse than death; he did not dare to force her.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have cared about the well-being of Prince Yanjun.
"If it is indeed the Crown Prince," Chu Yu pondered, planning to have Yun Jinnian ask Zhou Yunshen for some benefits.
"He promised me three wishes that do not violate benevolence, morality, or righteousness!"
"Do you have anything in mind?" Chu Yu asked.
Yun Jinnian slightly shook her head.
What she wanted, no one in this world could give.
"Then let him owe you for now. When you’ve made up your mind later on, knock him hard for a sum!"
Yun Jinnian smiled gently, saying nothing.
However, Yun Jinnian knew a fair bit about the Crown Prince of Great Zhou, and what impressed her most was the Empress of Great Zhou.
It was said that she was also a legitimate daughter of a prominent family, step by step she had reached the position of Empress. With the Emperor’s frail health, she managed all court affairs, and the Emperor had only one son, the Crown Prince. Although there were other concubines in the harem, none had given birth to a child.
Yun Jinnian did not think too deeply about the extraneous details.
Treating Zhou Yunshen’s illness had already been exhausting, and Yun Jinnian felt somewhat drained.
Chu Yu, seeing her tired, said with deep concern, "You should go to sleep first, we’ll set off again tomorrow!"
Saying she would sleep, Yun Jinnian did just that. For other matters, she trusted Chu Yu to handle them.
Zhou Yunshen sat on a chair, while an old man beside him took his pulse, "Eh?"
The old man frowned deeply, taking Zhou Yunshen’s pulse repeatedly, "How is this possible? Who exactly is it, with such formidable medical skills? Even I dare not act rashly, yet he dared..."
Zhou Yunshen sat calmly, while Teng Mu could barely contain himself, "Master Yuan, how is my master’s health?"
"Good, very good!" Master Yuan said, retracting his hand.
He was considered a Divine Doctor in Great Zhou, yet when it came to Zhou Yunshen’s condition, even he dared not use acupuncture needles carelessly, let alone use the needles to draw out the cold phlegm.
"Really?" Teng Mu asked in surprise.
"Your Highness, I do not know which doctor examined you, but I would like to meet him!" Master Yuan said, somewhat excited.
Zhou Yunshen smiled faintly, "Master, you won’t be able to meet her for now, but in a few days, we’re bound to run into her in Nanjiang!"
