After a while, Yu Yunxi said solemnly from the carriage, “Qian Jiao, ask the doctor if he could provide me with a few things.”

Yu Yunxi quickly listed the things she needed, which were mostly medicinal herbs and a set of silver needles.

Qian Jiao responded and hurried into Wei Medicine Hall.

Although Doctor Li’s expression was dark when he heard Qian Jiao’s request, he still asked something to bring the things over in the end.

Qian Jiao hurried back and handed the things to Yu Yunxi.

About an hour later, Yu Yunxi finally came out from the carriage. Her forehead was beaded with sweat, but her eyes were bright. She said softly to the two maidservants, “Hurry up and send your madam back.”

Yu Yunxi’s words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand ripples. Everyone looked at her.

“You… Does this mean our madam and the little master are fine?” The two maidservants’ eyes were red as they looked at Yu Yunxi.

“Yes,” Yu Yunxi said with a nod.

Upon hearing this, a few onlookers began to discuss among themselves. Someone muttered, perplexed, “Really? Even Doctor Li couldn’t do anything, but she actually succeeded?”

Another person questioned loudly, “Perhaps she didn’t succeed. Perhaps she’s lying because she thinks we don’t know better!”

At this time, Doctor Li, who had the commotion, came out. He looked at Yu Yunxi and said seriously, “Please don’t mess around with people’s lives.”

Yu Yunxi had a headache. She really did not know how to explain herself.

At this moment, a clear voice said from the carriage, “This lady undoubtedly saved me. My stomach doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“Just because it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t mean you’re fine,” Doctor Li said as his tone grew harsher and harsher, “What kind of stupid method did you use to relieve her pain? What if you hurt her body?”

With this, the onlookers pointed at Yu Yunxi, and their voices grew louder and louder as they continued to discuss among themselves.

Yu Yunxi was annoyed by the commotion so she simply said, “Otherwise, you can check her pulse to see what the situation is like.”

The onlookers chimed in one after another upon hearing these words. They were all waiting to see Yu Yunxi make a fool of herself.

“That’s a good idea. Doctor Li can check the patient’s pulse. If the woman used any underhanded tricks, it wouldn’t be hard for Doctor Li to find out.”

“That’s right! Let’s see if she can still maintain her composure once Doctor Li exposes her.”

Someone joked, “She’s wearing a veil. How are we going to expose her?”

Meanwhile, Yu Yunxi approached the carriage and asked, “Madam, are you willing to let Doctor Li check your pulse?”

“Yes,” the woman in the carriage replied softly.

“Doctor Li, please,” Yu Yunxi said, gesturing to Doctor Li.

Doctor Li snorted and quickly got into the carriage.

When Doctor Li finally came out, he wore an indecipherable expression on his face. He looked at Yu Yunxi for a few moments before he asked stiffly, “Y-you…

How did you save her?”

‘What does this mean? Shouldn’t he be cursing at her? Why is he talking to her as though he’s asking for advice?’

The onlookers looked at each other in shock and confusion.

Yu Yunxi was also slightly taken aback by Doctor Li’s reaction. After a moment, she replied, “In fact, Doctor Li, you’ve already stabilized her condition. I only needed to use silver needles to perform acupuncture on her abdomen to save her child. It’s all thanks to your hard work in the beginning. Otherwise, my treatment wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.”

“I see…”

Realization seemed to dawn on Doctor Li at this moment. After a while, he looked somewhat ashamed. He knew he did not do that much to help, but Yu Yunxi was still intentionally helping him to protect his reputation.

Finally, Doctor Li sighed and said, “Young people nowadays are really formidable. I was muddle-headed and almost caused the loss of a life.’ Yu Yunxi sighed in relief when she heard Doctor Li’s words.

It could be seen that Doctor Li was not a bad person. This was clear based on his willingness to apologize and his willingness to give her the medical supplies earlier. It was just that he was a little stubborn and quick to judge. Doctor Li could not help but ask, “May I ask who’s your master?”

He was very curious. He had no idea when such a talented doctor appeared in the capital.

“My medical skills were carefully taught by my mother in the past, ” Yu Yunxi replied softly.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around them, Yu Yunxi was afraid something would go wrong. After giving the two maidservants a few reminders, she prepared to leave.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Doctor Li seemed a little anxious as he hurriedly asked, “Then I wonder if you have any interest in working for Wei Medical Hall?”

Upon hearing this, the onlookers gasped. This meant that Doctor Li acknowledged Yu Yunxi’s skills. One had to know that Doctor Li had practiced medicine for many years now, and he was also one of the top doctors in Wei Medical Hall.

“I’m sorry, I’m not interested,” Yu Yunxi replied. After all, she had her own medical hall.

Doctor Li frowned upon hearing her reply, but he naturally did not force her.

Just as Yu Yunxi was about to leave, the woman in the carriage asked, “Miss, can you leave your name so I can visit you when I recover?”

Yu Yunxi smiled. “There’s no need for that, Madam. I have a feeling we’ll meet again in the future. By the way, if you want to keep your child, you must be careful of the food that other people bring you in the future.”

After saying that, Yu Yunxi quickly left with Qian Jiao.

The others did not think much of Yu Yunxi’s reminder, but the two maidservants’ expressions turned unsightly as though they had just thought of something.

After reaching a place where there were fewer people, Qian Jiao asked, “County Princess, what does your reminder mean? Could it be that someone intentionally harmed the child in her stomach?”

Yu Yunxi did not respond to the question. Instead, she glanced at Qian Jiao and asked in return, “Do you know who that woman is?”

“Who? She should be from an ordinary family,” Qian Jiao said, puzzled.

The carriage was extremely simple, but the other party had two maidservants. It was likely that the other party was from a slightly above-average family, but it was not comparable to those wealthy families in the capital.

Yu Yunxi said calmly, “If I’m not mistaken, she’s Princess Consort Rui.”

Qian Jiao exclaimed in shock, “What?! County Princess, did you say she’s

Princess Consort Rui?!”

Yu Yunxi nodded calmly. “That’s right. I’ve observed the two maidservants’ clothes. The cloth they were made from could only be found in Xiyu in the western region. However, the imperial court and Xiyu have been at loggerheads in recent years so Xiyu has not paid tribute to the court in years. Only those with connections to Xiyu could let their maidservants wear clothes made of that kind of cloth.’

Qian Jiao smacked her forehead lightly and said, “That’s right! In the entire capital, only Marquis Jian Zhong’s Residence has connections to Xiyu. Marquis Jian Zhong’s younger sister was made a Princess of the Third Rank before she got married in Xiyu. Princess Consort Rui is also Marquis Jian Zhong’s daughter.”

“That’s right. When I was in the carriage earlier, the equipment inside was very exquisite. It doesn’t seem like the carriage of an ordinary family. Moreover, I saw the word ‘Jian’ embroidered on the madam’s handkerchief,” Yu Yunxi said.

“There’s no doubt that she’s Princess Consort Rui. Then, the reason she didn’t want to enter Wei Medical Hall earlier must be due to the Fifth Prince’s connection to the Wei family!” Qian Jiao said.. However, after a moment, she said with a frown, “But during our investigation previously, we didn’t find out anything about Princess Consort Rui’s pregnancy…”
