She sighed and patted Zhang Miaozhen’s shoulder, saying, “Going with the flow is not wrong, but it’s also about taking action. Since you can see things so clearly, why not think of a way to resolve this?”
The Zhang family had several high-ranking officials in the court, surely they could find a way to handle this situation?
“How can I be willful in such a large family?” Zhang Miaozhen lowered her head and said.
Liu Shimei was speechless too.
Indeed, she had a point!
Even if they managed to cleverly avoid the marriage with the Crown Prince, would the Empress and the Crown Prince truly be as approachable as they seemed?
Was Qu Yingrong, the one who would eventually become the Empress, really so easy to get along with?
If Zhang Miaozhen managed to escape this marriage, would the Zhang family really not face consequences once Huangfu He acceded to the throne?
When thinking about it deeply, it was terrifying!
“Someone like you is a rarity, but who knows, perhaps a blessing in disguise.” Zhang Miaozhen smiled at her, saying, “I’ll just go with the flow. Not fighting, not competing. Maybe I can find some peace for myself.”
Liu Shimei wanted to say: No, even if you don’t fight or compete, others don’t know what you’re thinking! Will they stop targeting you? Impossible!
There’s a situation called: the innocent suffer for the guilty.
It’s not because you, as a person, have committed some heinous crime, but because you possess something that threatens the interests of others, and that becomes your original sin!
But this kind of talk, the Zhang family might also be aware of, they had no choice, did they?
In the end, they were just sacrificial pawns!
Thinking like this, Liu Shimei didn’t want to say too much. She just said, “Speaking of which, I can consider myself fortunate.”
Shouldn’t she be grateful that the script she got after transmigrating wasn’t about palace intrigue?
If she had come to the Great Shu Dynasty one day later, if she hadn’t formed a relationship with the Second Prince, but smoothly became the Crown Princess, then she would have been thrown into the world of palace intrigue!
Let’s not think about that, it’s distressing even to consider!
At this moment, Zhang Miaozhen said, “We’ve reached Great Grandmother’s courtyard.”
Liu Shimei pulled herself together and followed Zhang Miaozhen into the Buddhist hall.
Madam Li’s legs were indeed hurting again. Liu Shimei administered the Nine-Nine Soul-Sucking Needle Formation for the second time, inquired about some details, compared the changes in her pulse from the last time, and prescribed a new foot-soaking medicine.
“Although the leg pain has recurred, compared to before, after the last needle treatment, it seems like it’s not as painful,” Madam Li smiled and said, “Shimei, your medical skills are truly unexpected.”
Liu Shimei smiled faintly and didn’t say anything.
She didn’t boast, nor did she overly humble herself.
Zhang Miaozhen was also very pleased, “I told you Shimei’s medical skills are trustworthy, didn’t I? I heard that the Nine-Nine Soul-Sucking Needle Formation needle technique is powerful; it can bring the dead back to life!”
“It’s not as exaggerated as bringing the dead back to life,” Liu Shimei shook her head and chuckled, “It’s powerful to the extent that, as long as there’s a breath left, there’s a possibility of revival. But the tales of resurrecting the dead and turning bones back to flesh are exaggerations, they are myths. In reality, it doesn’t exist.”
Bringing back the dead after they’ve died is not scientifically possible!
But then again, in her experience of transmigrating to ancient times, where did science fit in?
They chatted and laughed, and time passed.
When Liu Shimei left the Zhang Residence and returned to Fusheng Pavilion, it was already late afternoon. In the consultation room, the silly puppy who had been waiting for her was so bored that grass could grow on his head!
“Lingyao, I’m back..”
