He heard it!
His expression changed drastically.
"Truly?" he asked urgently.
She was actually engaged?
So that was why she had refused him?
She had actually... actually gotten engaged!
Seeing Yi Zixing standing not far away, Yun Changfeng was first stunned, then sighed helplessly, and nodded, "Yes, Shu'er said so herself. She didn't have time to tell me about this before, which caused so many misunderstandings. If Shu'er wasn't already promised to a suitable match, I would definitely have married her to Young Master Yi, given his talent and character."
Alas!
Yi Zixing's handsome face turned pale.
Completely devoid of color.
Seeing his son's dejected appearance, Zhongyong Hou also sighed.
This was fate!
They had no destiny with each other!
Fate played tricks on people!
...
After an unknown amount of time.
As Yun Shu raised her hand to remove the needles, Zhan Tianhong slowly opened his eyes.
He looked around in a daze.
Suddenly remembering something, he turned his head to look at Yun Shu.
Instantly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't a dream!
It really wasn't a dream!
This was the first time in days that he felt he had slept soundly, without nightmares.
The moment he opened his eyes, it felt like he had woken from a beautiful dream.
There was no fear of waking up, nor the weakness all over his body.
"That's great, you're still here," Zhan Tianhong blurted out without thinking.
Yun Shu smiled faintly, "Yes, I haven't left."
Zhan Tianhong looked down at his arm.
His arm and palm were both needled.
He immediately became more than half sober, "Am I poisoned again?"
He must have been poisoned, otherwise, he would never have had nightmares every day!
Those imperial physicians must have been biased towards him!
However.
Yun Shu shook her head, "Not at all, you are not poisoned."
"What?" Zhan Tianhong was very surprised.
Not poisoned?
Then...
"The imperial physicians in the palace were right. You have indeed been overthinking. From today onwards, do not think too much before sleeping," Yun Shu said.
It seemed that these almost table-full of memorials were indeed weighing down the young man's shoulders.
Making it impossible for him to sleep peacefully.
The sorrow of being a ruler of a nation.
Zhan Tianhong's eyes widened, "They didn't lie to me?"
They actually didn't lie to him!
"What they said is correct. I just treated you with acupuncture, and after drinking the calming soup, with both working together, you should be able to sleep soundly in less than two days," Yun Shu added.
The young man's face turned a little pale.
He used to not be so suspicious of the people around him.
However, now he didn't trust them! Sometimes he even suspected King Ye...
Bang!
The door was suddenly pushed open.
The sudden sound startled Yun Shu.
Yun Shu looked back.
She saw Zhan Ming walking over.
"Regent?" Zhan Tianhong frowned, his voice filled with shock.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and in a panic, he looked at his arm, which was covered in silver needles!
Yun Shu had not yet removed these silver needles!
Yun Shu's expression also changed.
"Your Majesty you..."
Zhan Ming had just started to speak, but the rest of his words vanished. He looked sharply at Yun Shu, "Why are you here too?"
The next moment!
His eyes were immediately replaced with astonishment!
Zhan Tianhong had silver needles on his arm!
And Yun Shu was holding a silver needle in her hand!
He suddenly realized something.
"You know medicine? You are performing acupuncture on His Majesty?" Zhan Ming narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
As he asked, he felt even more that he had overlooked something all along!
Zhan Tianhong was on the verge of death, but suddenly his health improved. He had thought it was due to the imperial physicians' improved skills, but he never expected that Yun Shu also knew medicine!
No wonder Zhan Tianhong summoned Yun Shu so often!
What about learning the zither?
It was all an excuse!
Yun Shu, who returned after five years away from the capital, actually knew medicine!
Could it be...
Her medical skills were learned from that divine physician?
In an instant, various guesses flooded Zhan Ming's mind. He looked at Yun Shu with eyes full of surprise.
Yun Shu did not expect to be seen by Zhan Ming while she was treating Zhan Tianhong today. Although she was a little surprised and even caught off guard, it didn't matter.
"As the Regent sees," Yun Shu said calmly. As her voice fell, she removed the silver needles one by one.
Zhan Tianhong was extremely anxious. Now that the Regent knew that Yun Shu had saved him, would he do something to her?
Would he look for an opportunity to kill Yun Shu?!
He could not live without Yun Shu!
At this moment, Zhan Ming's attention was focused on Yun Shu, and he didn't notice Zhan Tianhong's emotional changes.
Looking at Yun Shu, it was as if he saw through her to that divine physician who was even more skilled than a master physician.
The cold, charming, and demonic aura in Zhan Ming's eyes intensified, and a smile full of interest and wickedness curled his lips, "I never expected Miss Yun Er to be so deeply hidden. Not only is her zither skill exquisite, but she also knows medicine and can treat His Majesty's illness."
He realized now that the Yun Shu before him possessed the elegance of a celestial being and was extremely well-hidden, far surpassing the now hideously ugly Yun Yueyin.
Why hadn't he discovered this sooner?
If he had discovered it earlier, he could have made her his.
Seeing a trace of aggression in Zhan Ming's gaze towards Yun Shu, and his scrutinizing gaze, Zhan Tianhong clenched his fists tightly, and a hint of killing intent surged from the depths of his heart.
"Regent, why did you not let the palace servants announce yourself and barge in directly?" Zhan Tianhong questioned angrily.
Despite his young age, the majesty of an emperor was already evident.
Zhan Ming was startled. He hadn't expected Zhan Tianhong to have the audacity to question him!
He immediately sneered inwardly, completely unfazed by the questioning. Instead, he replied casually, "I had an urgent matter and momentarily forgot to announce myself, so I barged in directly. It was indeed a bit reckless. I ask for Your Majesty's forgiveness."
In the past, he would enter as he pleased, and the little nephew before him would always be so frightened that he wouldn't dare to say anything. He could clearly sense the little nephew's fear.
But this time, he dared to question him.
He's truly grown up, and his courage has grown too.
"Regent, you have no regard for rules!" Zhan Tianhong was furious and could only grit his teeth in secret, looking at Yun Shu with some apology.
Yun Shu gently shook her head at Zhan Tianhong, signaling that there was nothing to worry about or fear.
"If it's an urgent matter, then naturally one doesn't need to pay attention to rules," Zhan Ming said coldly.
Zhan Tianhong gritted his teeth, "What is it that the Regent needs?"
Zhan Ming, however, looked at Yun Shu, making calculations in his mind, but verbally replied, "I heard from the imperial physicians that His Majesty has been unable to sleep for many days, and I was very worried, so I came in a hurry, just to see His Majesty. Now that the state affairs are numerous, if there is anything Your Majesty needs my help with, you can hand over these trivial matters to me, and I will help Your Majesty handle them. How about it?"
"Not for now," Zhan Tianhong's face paled slightly.
Yun Shu chuckled inwardly.
Truly arrogant!
No wonder Zhan Tianhong, at such a young age, overthinks. Zhan Ming is truly an ambitious wolf!
"Miss Yun Er, my hand is injured. Please examine it for me now," Zhan Ming said with a tone of command.
