The doorman finally understood.
Was the Regent truly in trouble?
It was said that the Regent was not kind to his servants, and if he wasn't truly ill, these servants wouldn't be sweating profusely with worry.
However...
"Our young lady is a woman, she cannot possibly go to the Regent's mansion without reason and ruin her reputation. If the Regent is ill, then invite an imperial physician. At worst, the Emperor could issue a decree summoning our young lady," the doorman reasoned clearly.
The sky hadn't even fully brightened, and they wanted to send their young lady out?
Was there such a good thing!
They had barged into their General's mansion before, and now they were asking for their young lady, hmph!
Did the Regent think too highly of himself!
The frightened servant from the Regent's mansion heard this and felt ashamed, wiping the sweat from his brow. "Our Regent has already summoned imperial physicians, but Miss Yun Er's medical skills are superb. The imperial physicians in the palace are certainly no match for Miss Yun Er!"
The doorman sneered inwardly, "Please go back and tell your Regent that our young lady cannot afford to take such a risk."
If it were someone from the Night King's mansion, hmph! He would have eagerly run to find his young lady.
A Regent with ill intentions, why should he?!
Besides, their young lady had just returned to the mansion and hadn't had time to rest. It was too unworthy to disrupt her rest for the Regent.
Yun Shu stood at the door and listened. Seeing that the doorman was so capable and had dealt with the Regent's mansion's people, she turned and headed towards her room.
She was going to sleep!
It became much quieter outside the General's mansion.
She slept, feeling somewhat groggy.
In a daze, she heard noises outside the door.
It seemed to be the voices of Zhan Tianye and Yun Changfeng talking.
Their voices were kept very low.
But she heard almost everything. They were discussing yesterday's events, and then Zhan Tianye explained his purpose: he had come to request her to go to the Regent's mansion with him.
It seemed that Zhan Ming had already approached Zhan Tianye.
Yun Shu yawned, sat up, washed herself, changed her clothes, pushed open the door, and walked out.
"Shu'er, you're awake! Your father now knows you didn't sleep last night and went out. Did you know that your father encountered a landslide and was in some trouble? You suspected someone wanted to harm your father, so you went to investigate?" Yun Changfeng asked quickly.
Zhan Tianye also looked at Yun Shu.
Seeing that Yun Shu still had a hint of sleepiness in her eyes, he frowned.
"I did investigate, and it was indeed man-made," Yun Shu replied.
Still feeling somewhat tired, she covered her mouth and nose and yawned again.
Yun Changfeng sighed deeply. "There have always been many people who wanted to take my life, with open and hidden assassinations one after another. But this time, they even thought of using this tactic. If my martial arts had slackened even a little over the years, I would have lost my life now."
"But don't worry, your father has already sent people to investigate, and we will surely find some clues," Yun Changfeng continued.
Zhan Tianye also said, "This King has already ordered people to investigate the Regent. If there is any evidence pointing to the Regent, this King will certainly not let him escape!"
Yun Shu watched the two of them talking back and forth, and since the matter seemed to be resolved well, she felt there was no place for her to intervene. She changed the subject and asked Zhan Tianye, "I seemed to hear you talking about going to the Regent's mansion just now?"
"Yes, the Regent is gravely ill," Zhan Tianye described Zhan Ming's current dire situation with the simple words "gravely ill."
Yun Changfeng's expression turned grim. "Could it be a trick by the Regent?"
"No, his whole body is like a furnace," Zhan Tianye's tone became even lighter.
It sounded as if there was a hint of schadenfreude in his voice.
When Yun Shu heard the word "furnace," the corner of her lips curled.
She instructed Yu Le beside her, "Yu Le, wrap a few osmanthus cakes in oiled paper for me to eat on the way."
"Yes, Miss!" Yu Le quickly went to work.
A moment later.
In a carriage.
Yun Shu ate osmanthus cakes while sipping warm water.
The aroma of osmanthus cakes filled the entire carriage.
Zhan Tianye, who originally disliked sweet pastries, found his dark eyes deepening as he watched Yun Shu eat bite by bite.
The osmanthus cakes in her hand must be delicious.
Yun Shu noticed his gaze, followed his gaze to the osmanthus cakes in her hand. Had he skipped breakfast?
She offered him a piece, "Want to share?"
Zhan Tianye looked down, his dark eyes fixed on her slender white fingers, his voice slightly low, "No need."
What he wanted to eat was never osmanthus cakes.
He raised his eyes and looked at Yun Shu.
Yun Shu was startled by his gaze. What kind of look was that?
As if sensing his gaze was too aggressive, Zhan Tianye said in a low voice, "The Regent's condition is rather tricky. Zuo Yan has already gone, and several imperial physicians from the palace have also been there. He sought out the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager met with the Emperor. Finally, someone from the palace found this King."
Yun Shu nodded while eating, "They went through all this trouble to find me, it seems they believe my skills as a miraculous physician can be of use."
"They already know of your identity as a miraculous physician," Zhan Tianye said gravely.
Yun Shu smiled, unconcerned, "It's nothing. It's not a secret that cannot be revealed. However, are the Regent and his people so sure that I will be able to save him if I go?"
She didn't have a forgiving heart that could forget grievances with a smile.
All she wanted was to see Zhan Ming swiftly dealt with.
"He has lived long enough," Zhan Tianye's voice suddenly carried a hint of coldness.
Yun Shu sensed it; he harbored a desire to kill Zhan Ming.
She retracted her smile, her tone gentle, "Indeed, he has lived long enough."
The two of them suddenly looked at each other, their eyes meeting.
For a moment, everything was understood without words.
The carriage traveled under the warm morning light.
Soon, they arrived at the Regent's mansion.
Yun Shu was no stranger to the Regent's mansion. Having sneaked in several times, she was already very familiar with the place.
However, after the fire, the Regent's mansion had been almost entirely renovated. The speed was truly astonishing; in just a few days, the Regent's mansion looked brand new.
At this very moment, the Regent's mansion was filled with a tense atmosphere.
The servants were terrified.
"King Ye, Miss Yun Er? Please follow this servant quickly!"
The servant anxiously led the way.
When Yun Shu and Zhan Tianye reached the door of the room and saw the people inside.
Zhan Tianye's gaze turned cold.
Yun Shu, on the other hand, smiled faintly, thinking inwardly with a chuckle. She had to admit that Zhan Ming had quite good connections! Look, in the room, not only were Zuo Yan and imperial physicians present, but also Jiang Luoxi, and even the Empress Dowager!
Faces filled with worry.
And Zhan Ming, who was being fussed over by a group of people, said with a trembling voice, "None of you can do anything?! Where is Yun Shu? Why hasn't Yun Shu arrived yet?!"
