"Miss Yun Er, are you looking for the Night King? He just left."
A woman nearby whispered to Yun Shu.
Yun Shu looked at the woman who spoke, smiled lightly, and nodded, "Okay, thank you."
Seeing Yun Shu thank her, the woman seemed a little surprised and shyly said, "No, you're welcome. The Night King probably left because he saw you leave. I can tell the Night King has feelings for you."
Some things are not as simple as they appear. After Miss Yun Er left, many people said the Night King might not like Yun Shu anymore.
However, in her opinion, there must be a reason for not getting engaged, but that reason should have nothing to do with whether the Night King liked Yun Shu or not. Among all the women in the capital, the Night King had never really paid attention to anyone.
But after coming here, she had secretly glanced and found the Night King constantly looking at Yun Shu.
His eyes were full of Yun Shu.
Seeing this, Yun Shu couldn't help but look closely at the woman. She was small and delicate. Yun Shu found her in the original host's memories. She was the third daughter of the Minister's mansion, Chen Ai.
"Miss Chen, have you not been resting well these past two days?" Yun Shu asked with a smile.
Chen Ai was stunned, "How did Miss Yun Er know?" She then realized, "Miss Yun Er's medical skills are too amazing. I have indeed had difficulty sleeping and always felt groggy lately, which has been very tormenting. Drinking some calming teas didn't help."
Everyone said Miss Yun Er's medical skills were superb, and now it seemed she was truly astonished!
Without even taking her pulse, she could tell her condition just by looking at her a few times.
Her heart surged, feeling like she admired someone this much for the first time.
Seeing Chen Ai's gaze towards her sparkling, Yun Shu continued, "If calming teas are ineffective, you can visit me at the Yun Manor these next two days. One acupuncture session will suffice."
"Ah! You... you're actually going to treat me?" Chen Ai was shocked, not expecting Yun Shu to offer help so readily.
Actually, when someone had suggested asking Yun Shu to take her pulse earlier, she was hesitant.
After all, she had seen Yun Shu reject many people just now, not even giving Madam Qu any face.
Yet, Yun Shu was now offering to help her.
For a moment, Chen Ai felt overwhelmed with gratitude. She had always felt inferior among these noble young ladies. She had only spoken up subconsciously just now, but she never expected Yun Shu to offer help.
"It just so happens that I can treat it," Yun Shu said humbly.
For people she didn't dislike and who were kind to her, it was truly a small effort, and she would help if she could.
Chen Ai was overjoyed, "Miss Yun Er, thank you!"
Those who saw Chen Ai and Yun Shu chatting so congenially and happily by the side curled their lips.
They didn't know how many days Yun Shu could charm the Night King; it was really beneath Chen Ai to curry favor with Yun Shu so eagerly.
Hearing the murmurs from the side, Chen Ai's smile faltered slightly, but she didn't care. She had been spoken about like this before.
Yun Shu glanced indifferently at the woman muttering softly nearby, her eyes gradually turning cold.
Sensing Yun Shu's gaze, the murmuring woman froze instantly. She swallowed back whatever she was about to say. It was strange, Yun Shu's gaze was too intimidating, making her afraid to speak.
This small interlude was noticed by Jiang Luoxi, who had something on her mind.
Jiang Luoxi glanced at Zhan Tianhong and whispered, "Your Majesty, I wish to speak with Miss Yun Er."
Hearing this, Zhan Tianhong looked at Yun Shu, who was a little further away. He had already seen her when Yun Shu and his fifth brother arrived, but... his dark eyes suddenly dimmed.
"Go."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Luoxi stood up, about to walk over.
However, just as she stood up, Jiao Meiren, with a smile hiding a dagger, said, "I remember Concubine Luo, sister, had a falling out with Miss Yun Er. If you go to speak with Miss Yun Er and cause some further unpleasantness, wouldn't that be inappropriate, Your Majesty?"
Jiang Luoxi's eyes flashed with a murderous intent as she looked at Jiao Meiren.
Jiao Meiren, initially arrogant and even smug, was suddenly terrified by Jiang Luoxi's gaze, her face turning pale. "You..."
Zhan Tianhong frowned. He regretted bringing Jiao Meiren to the hot spring villa.
Jiang Luoxi bowed to Zhan Tianhong and then walked towards Yun Shu.
There were too many people, so no one else noticed this scene. Imperial consorts sat behind the Emperor, at a distance from others.
When Jiang Luoxi sat beside Yun Shu, people finally noticed. Why had Concubine Luo come over to them?
And she was sitting next to Yun Shu?
Seeing this, Chen Ai made room for another seat.
Yun Shu raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Jiang Luoxi.
"Miss Yun Er, it's been a few days since we last met." Jiang Luoxi spoke first.
On her way here, to avoid being laughed at, she had endured the pain to maintain her posture.
The venom of the Snow Spirit Snake was truly potent.
Now seated before Yun Shu, the pain in her legs intensified, but she still looked at Yun Shu without changing her expression.
Yun Shu curved her lips indifferently, "Indeed, it has been a few days, Concubine Luo."
Looking at Jiang Luoxi, who was so well-concealed before her, Yun Shu inwardly clicked her tongue. She had to admit that Jiang Luoxi was truly adept at hiding her true self. If she hadn't investigated Jiang Luoxi bit by bit, she would never have discovered Jiang Luoxi's true nature.
She had also witnessed the tactics of Prince Ning.
He pushed his own woman out and then sent her to another man's side.
Earlier, out of boredom, she had observed him. Prince Ning's face showed no clues whatsoever; there was not a hint of jealousy.
"There's no need for such formality between us, Miss Yun Er. I told you before, past grievances are forgotten. We will undoubtedly meet often in the capital in the future." Jiang Luoxi stared at Yun Shu and said in a low voice.
Her words were conciliatory.
But her actions were not.
Jiang Luoxi before her was remarkably similar to Madam Qu.
She chuckled lightly and said, "What kind of incense are you wearing, Concubine Luo? The scent is quite unique."
Jiang Luoxi's heart skipped a beat, but she replied subtly, "Perhaps the palace servants scented the clothes. Miss Yun Er has a keen nose to detect such fragrances; I haven't even noticed it myself."
"The venom of the Snow Spirit Snake can cause deviations in one's sense of smell. If the incense on Concubine Luo's person has been tampered with, it might attract trouble," Yun Shu's gaze suddenly became sharp.
Jiang Luoxi's beautiful eyes deepened, looking as nonchalant as ever. "I am an imperial concubine. Who would dare tamper with my clothes? Miss Yun Er is worrying too much, but thank you for the reminder."
Her gaze was like a venomous snake, hidden in the dark, watching Yun Shu's every move, waiting to see the signs that should have appeared.
