When Ye Zhen was woken up, she looked confused. She didn't know where she was. She was surrounded by darkness. She touched the back of her neck. "It hurts!"
"Where did you come from?" A low voice sounded in her ear. Ye Zhen found the source of the voice in the darkness. She could see that the man was Song Hongao. She hadn't seen him for a few years, but he didn't seem to have changed much from before. Only his eyes had become deep and calm.
"Who? What do you want? " Ye Zhen cried in panic. "I … I just came to the capital to open a shop. I have no money. Uncle, please let me go."
Song Hongao said coldly, "Shut up! No one wants your money. "
Ye Zhen put her hands on her shoulders. "Uncle, if you don't want money, do you want to rape me?"
"Where did you come from?" Song Hongao pretended not to hear Ye Zhen's words.
"Border town …" Ye Zhen whispered, "I just open a pharmacy and want to make a living."
Song Hongao frowned. "What's your name?"
"My surname is Ye, and my nickname is Pearl." Ye Zhen said timidly.
"I'll give you five hundred taels. Live here and take care of my … sister." Song Hongao said coldly.
Ye Zhen noticed that he paused when he said sister. Obviously, the person was not his sister. "Then … how long will it take?"
Song Hongao said coldly, "You don't have to ask this. If you take good care of her, I will not treat you badly."
"But I'm just a doctor, not a servant." Ye Zhen muttered.
"My sister is nursing a fetus. You take good care of her belly. You don't need to serve her." Song Hongao said, "If you dare to leave here and go out and talk nonsense, then you don't have to live."
Ye Zhen nodded hurriedly. "Yes, I won't talk nonsense."
Song Hongao stood up, turned and left the room. His voice was very low. "Take her to see … the lady."
The lady? Ye Zhen's eyes flashed. She was almost sure that Zhao Ning was hidden here.
"You, come out." The man outside called to Ye Zhen.
"Right away." Ye Zhen stood up and stumbled outside. "Uncle, what can I do for you?"
The man gave Ye Zhen a disgusted look. "Come with me."
Ye Zhen followed him through a courtyard and garden, through a secret door, and came to a courtyard. A maid was fetching water in the courtyard. When she saw the man and Ye Zhen, she dropped the bucket and stood by the door.
"Don't come any closer," the maid shouted at them.
Lin Zhiran? Ye Zhen's eyes flashed with astonishment. Unexpectedly, she would see her here.
"This is the doctor I found for your princess." The man pointed to Ye Zhen and said, "Isn't your princess uncomfortable? If you have anything to say, just tell her. "
"What doctor? Do you think you can fool us with a random doctor? "Lin Zhiran put her hands on her hips and glared at them.
The man said impatiently, "Don't get angry at me. If it weren't for our Marquis, you would still be locked up in the dungeon. When the time comes, our Marquis will naturally let you go."
Lin Zhiran recalled her previous encounter and felt that this place was much better than that place.
"Call us if you need anything." The man left Ye Zhen behind and left.
"Hey, hey!" Lin Zhiran called, but the man didn't look back.
Standing in the courtyard, Ye Zhen felt that there were still people staring at them, so she didn't immediately identify herself to Lin Zhiran, but just looked at her helplessly.
"Are you really a doctor?" Lin Zhiran asked Ye Zhen angrily.
"Yes." Ye Zhen answered in a low voice.
Lin Zhiran thought that there was no other way now. She hoped that this woman could really help the princess.
"Come in with me." Lin Zhiran called.
Ye Zhen bowed her head and followed Lin Zhiran into the room.
The room was filled with the smell of medicine. Ye Zhen frowned and looked up to see the woman sleeping on the bed. Sure enough, it was Zhao Ning.
"Who is it?" Zhao Ning heard a little noise and opened her eyes in horror. She hugged her son sleeping next to her.
"Princess, it's this servant." Lin Zhiran stepped forward and comforted the frightened Zhao Ning. "They sent a doctor. Didn't you feel sick in your stomach? Let the doctor see. "
"No, I don't want to see a doctor." Zhao Ning cried. She was afraid that the doctor would kill her child.
Cheng Zheng had threatened her that if Mo Rongyi didn't get what he wanted, he would kill her child.
Ye Zhen found that Zhao Ning's face was not good. Not to mention that she had lost a lot of weight, there was not even a trace of blood on her face.
Her belly was not particularly obvious. It should be a five-month-old child. Sleeping next to her was a two-year-old boy with an abnormal blush on his face.
He looked so much like Ah Yi!
Ye Zhen immediately stepped forward and sealed the window with her spiritual power so that no one outside could hear her. "Don't get too excited, you can't get too excited now. Zhao Ning, it's me, I'm here to save you."
"Who are you?" Zhao Ning stared at Ye Zhen in amazement, completely unable to remember seeing her.
"Is the child sick?" Ye Zhen wanted to hold the boy.
Zhao Ning refused to let go and stared at Ye Zhen vigilantly.
"I won't hurt you or the child." Ye Zhen said helplessly. "Zhao Ning, look clearly, it's me, Lu Yaoyao."
"Impossible!" Zhao Ning's voice changed. "Lu Yaoyao is dead."
Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "She's not dead. We're back. Ah Yi told me about you."
Zhao Ning still did not believe Ye Zhen's identity. It was incredible. How could a dead person still be alive?
"Niang niang …" Lin Zhiran called out to Ye Zhen. "How is this possible?"
"I've changed my appearance. I can't let others know my identity yet." Ye Zhen whispered. "Ning 'er, let me see the child first."
Zhao Ning was still in a daze when the child was carried by Ye Zhen.
It's hot! Ye Zhen was taken aback. "The child has a fever. When did it start?"
"He was fine last night. I don't know why he started to have a fever today." Zhao Ning said with tears in his eyes.
"Leave it to me." Ye Zhen carried the child to the soft bed and took off his cotton-padded jacket. The room was burning and the child was wearing so much. How could the fever be reduced?
She took out the silver needles from the brocade box and began to apply acupuncture on the child.
When Zhao Ning saw Ye Zhen take out the silver needles, he already believed her identity.
About half an hour later, the child burst into tears.
"The fever has begun to subside. Give the child more to drink." Ye Zhen said, handing the child to Lin Zhiran.
Lin Zhiran stared at Ye Zhen. "Niang niang, is it really you?"
"Why are you with Ning 'er?" Ye Zhen asked. "I thought you would be in the palace."
Sure enough, it's Niang niang! Otherwise, how could she know that I used to be in the palace?
"Sister-in-law, you … are you really alive?" Zhao Ning held his sober son in his arms. He still could not believe Ye Zhen's identity.
