It started snowing again and the fine snowflakes were like dandelion fluff, floating in the wind. The wind weaved through the air, making the snowflakes tumble and dance around. It was quite a sight to behold.

An Yi glanced back again, but the two figures were no longer in the doorway. A little eunuch greeted him with a smiling face and a bow at the waist. “Master Yi, now that the snow is falling, why don’t you drink some tea before leaving?”

An Yi was different from the other hidden guards. As one of Jin Wang’s confidants, many people in Zhaohui Hall knew him.

On the other side, the two servants carrying the palanquin and the maids who followed from Rongxi Courtyard were being led into the hall.

“No need.” An Yi shook his head and continued walking. Looking at the maids and servants following the palanquin, he asked, “Who was that just now?”

“The one who just went in?! She’s an incredible one, the new favourite of His Highness, Lady Su of Rongxi Courtyard!”

With a chuckle, An Yi patted the little eunuch on the shoulder, as if saying wasn’t he exaggerating a bit much? But after hearing the little eunuch say that Lady Su was pregnant with the second young master of Jin Wang Mansion, he couldn’t help furrowing his brows.

An Yi was a member of the hidden guards ever since youth and was also their leader, sitting firmly in the top spot. Not anyone could be a member of the hidden guards. Besides needing top-quality martial arts, they must also have a special skill. For example, An Yi’s ability was to never forget anything, especially people’s faces. Even if he only saw them once, he wouldn’t forget it.

He had seen this Lady Su before, and it was under those circumstances.

What a coincidence.

Just as Fucheng was so anxious that he seemed like an old house on fire, Yaoniang arrived.

As soon as he heard the announcement of her arrival, he waited at the door. Once he saw Yaoniang, he hurriedly welcomed her in.

“Eunuch Fu, what’s going on with His Highness? I heard that His Highness’s poison broke out again?” asked Yaoniang hesitantly. With Yuchan’s assistance, she took off her blue satin cloak embroidered with lotus and fringed with rabbit fur.

Wearing a despairing expression, Fucheng said, “I don’t know what’s going on either. The antidote has been taken, but…” He paused. “Lady Su, you shouldn’t go in. His Highness ordered not to tell you about it. I don’t know which little rascal leaked the news.”

This little rascal was naturally An Shiyi, who didn’t do as others wanted.

“How is His Highness now?”

“This…”

“I’ll go take a look.”

Yaoniang insisted on going inside, and Fucheng didn’t dare to stop her. Besides, he also had selfish intentions. Although His Highness didn’t allow it, since madam insisted, he could work around it. It’d be best for His Highness to not endure this kind of suffering.

Entering the bedroom, Yaoniang saw Jin Wang lying on the bed. He seemed to be asleep, but his hands and feet were tied to the bedposts.

This wasn’t the first time that Yaoniang saw Jin Wang in such a state, but it was the first time she felt so distressed. It was probably because she didn’t dare to have this type of feeling before. But now that their child was in her belly, there was a sense of intimacy very different from the past.

“How long has His Highness been like this? Has Doctor Liu found a solution yet?”

Seeing Fucheng silent, Yaoniang sighed and said, “Everyone, leave.”

Hearing this, which was clearly to use her body, Fucheng hesitated. “Madam, your body…”

“It’s okay, it won’t hurt.”

As for why it wouldn’t hurt, this wasn’t something she could discuss with outsiders.

Fucheng wanted to say something but was pulled away by Yuchan. The two of them went out.

Yaoniang stayed inside for nearly two hours before coming out. Looking exhausted, she returned to Rongxi Courtyard without delay.

After returning, Yuchan noticed how worried she looked. Believing that she was worried about Jin Wang, she consoled her with a few words. Little did she know that although Yaoniang was indeed worried about Jin Wang, there was something else weighing heavily on her heart.

She knew that man with the scar on his face.

The position of his scar was too special and that day was also the biggest turning point in her life, so Yaoniang remembered him clearly.

When Yaoniang woke up that day, it was the wee hours of the morning.

The quiet alleyway, the bright round moon, and the yellow lanterns illuminating only a corner. There was faint music from the distance, teasing laughter between men and women, and the clamour of seeing guests off. She felt like she was dreaming.

It took her a long time to return to her senses, and realize what a mess she was. She felt like she had been run over by a carriage and something felt weird in that place. What else could she not understand? Struck by lightning, Yaoniang wished to die on the spot.

But she was reluctant to die and felt unresigned. She was unwilling to die in a corner after being schemed so ruthlessly against. Then the person who harmed her would continue to live on in the world, bluffing and deceiving, while her relatives only felt distressed. Yaoniang kept the unwillingness in her heart, hurriedly cleaned herself up, and stumbled back. But when she came out of this alley, she ran into two beggars.

Actually, the Yaoniang’s shadow caused by this incident was more serious than the previous incident. After all, throughout the previous incident, she was in a state of oblivion the entire time, so she didn’t feel much about it. But now these two beggars’ dirty faces, grinning smiles, and the fear they brought to her continued to linger in her dreams.

Fortunately, someone passed by and scared away the two beggars, saving her from being humiliated.

The man was dressed in black and had a scar on his face.

This person was her benefactor. But when she saw him, Yaoniang wasn’t in the mood to thank him at all. She only wanted to avoid him, staying as far away as possible.

This was her shadow that would never go away, her past she didn’t want to face.

Then she thought about how that person could come and go freely from Zhaohui Hall, so he must be one of Jin Wang’s confidantes. If that person recognized her, would he tell Jin Wang?

Doctor Liu didn’t return to his office over the past two days and stayed in Zhaohui Hall.

He was immersed in a state of madness at this moment. His hair was a mess and his eyes were bloodshot as he babbled and mumbled words nonstop.

He had read the prescription countless times and was sure that all the ingredients he used were right, but why was it useless?
