After the last trip to the Crown Prince’s Mansion, everyone was much calmer when they went there again. Even Ling Jingyan was not so nervous anymore.

After entering the guest room smoothly, Ling Jingyan couldn’t help but mutter, “Strange, why didn’t His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson show up today?”

Ling Jingshu: “…”

Jiang Shi coughed and glared at Ling Jingyan: “Ah Yan, don’t talk nonsense. The last time I met His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson was by chance. His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson has a lot of things to do every day, why would he wait for us on purpose.”

It was because the last meeting was so embarrassing, so it was normal that the awkward Imperial Grandson was unwilling to show up today!

Ling Jingyan thought about it silently in her heart but finally didn’t say it out loud.

Ling Jingshu looked normal and said with a smile, “Doctor Wei will be here for a while, let’s sit and wait!” Then she looked at Ling Xiao who was silent beside her and said, “Ah Xiao, why don’t you say anything? Are you afraid of the acupuncture he will have to give you later?”

Ling Xiao didn’t try to be brave and honestly admitted, “Yes, during acupuncture, I felt sore, swollen, and painful, and the pain lasted for a long time after the needles were applied. I feel a little scared when I think about it.”

Ling Jingshu felt sympathy for him and coaxed him softly, “The acupuncture will only be done once every five days. Just bear with it and it will pass.”

Ling Xiao nodded, then laughed: “Ah Shu, I can bear this little pain. Please don’t always treat me as a child who doesn’t understand things. I’m only one hour younger than you.”

Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything.

Yes, in her eyes, Ah Xiao will always be the little brother who timidly grasped her sleeve and died at the young age of sixteen.

His death left her devastated and unable to let go.

Fortunately, she was reborn in this life, and curing Ah Xiao’s eyes has become the most important thing in her heart. Even more important than revenge!

“You two siblings have such a good relationship.” Ling Jingyan sighed with envy: “It’s really enviable to watch.”

Jiang Shi smiled and joked: “Ah Yan, you don’t feel guilty saying this. Isn’t your elder brother good enough to you?”

“That’s not the case.” Ling Jingyan responded without thinking: “Big brother has always been very good to me. However, Big Brother is busy studying at the Imperial College and rarely comes home on weekdays. How can he compare to Ah Shu and Ah Xiao, who are by each other’s side every day.”

Ling Xiao immediately protested: “Yan tángjiě, when my eyes are healed, I will also go to school. I don’t have time to waste time hanging around in the inner house every day.”

As he spoke, he straightened his slightly thin chest, acting like a man with a heroic and confident look!

It was like a child pretending to be an adult, cute and funny.

Everyone was so amused that they bent over with laughter.

“I’m serious. Why are you laughing?” Ling Xiao reiterated anxiously, “When my eyes are healed, I will also go to the Imperial Academy to study like my eldest cousin.”

Ling Jingshu held back her laughter and soothed him, “Okay, okay, when your eyes are better, I’ll ask my dàbó to find a way to send you to study at the Imperial Academy.”

…

After waiting for about half an hour, Doctor Wei arrived.

Doctor Wei was still wearing half-worn cloth clothes, not the official uniform of the Imperial Hospital. There was no expression on his handsome and gentle face. He glanced at Ling Jingshu and others casually and then began to give Ling Xiao acupuncture.

With the experience of the previous two times, Ling Xiao gradually got used to the tingling and tingling of acupuncture, but cold sweat kept oozing out of his forehead and temples.

Doctor Wei had a lot of rules when treating patients, Ling Jingshu didn’t dare to interrupt casually, and it was not convenient for her to go forward and wipe the sweat off Ling Xiao at this time. She unconsciously clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand.

Jiang and Ling Jingyan also held their breath at the same time.

The room was silent, and everyone could only hear their own breathing and heartbeat.

Suddenly, there were footsteps and noise outside the door. Perhaps it was still some distance from the door, so I couldn’t tell who it was.

Doctor Wei didn’t stop his movements but frowned and ordered in a deep voice: “Ninth Miss Ling, go out and see who it is. Don’t let outsiders get close.”

Doctor Wei’s order was natural.

He only brought the medicine boy Tiandong with him, and Tiandong was responsible for handing the golden needles to him. There was no other person around him, so the only one he could order around was Ling Jingshu, right?

Ling Jingshu also frowned slightly. When she heard Doctor Wei’s order, she responded without hesitation and stood up.

Bai Yu whispered, “Miss, let this servant go and take a look!”

After all, this was the Crown Prince’s residence, so it was better for a maid like her to handle such annoying things, lest it get to the ears of the Crown Princess and make her unhappy.

Ling Jingshu understood Bai Yu’s concerns and smiled at her lightly: “It’s okay.”

After saying that, she walked forward, gently opened the door, and walked out.

Bai Yu hurriedly followed.

…

Ling Jingshu took a few steps, looked up, and was stunned.

Only two people were coming, and the huge group of people following them were all palace maids, eunuchs, and guards.

Walking side by side were two fifteen-year-old boys.

A young man wearing a dark brocade robe, with a stern face, deep eyes, and a calm expression, was none other than the distinguished Imperial Grandson.

The other young man was wearing a bright scarlet brocade robe, his narrow and long phoenix eyes were filled with a lazy smile, and his eyes seemed to be able to seduce people. It was actually the King of Yan!

This was the Prince’s Mansion, so, understandably, the Imperial Grandson appeared.

What was up with this King of Yan? Why was he here to join in the fun?

Ling Jingshu frowned slightly, then quickly recovered as usual, stepped forward quickly, bowed, and said, “I greet Your Highness the King of Yan and Your Highness the Imperial Grandson.”

In terms of status, the two young men were both descendants of the royal family and were extremely noble. However, the King of Yan was one generation older than the Imperial Grandson, so according to customary etiquette, they should pay their respects to the King of Yan first.

The Imperial Grandson’s eyes fell on Ling Jingshu. Just as he was about to speak, the King of Yan took the lead and said with a smile, “Stop being polite. This is not the first time we meet, so there is no need to be so formal.”

Wasn’t this the first time they’ve met?

Ling Jingshu had been in the capital for less than two months, so when did she get to know the playboy King Yan?

The Imperial Grandson’s brows twitched, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Ling Jingshu bowed steadily, stood up straight, and replied, “I met His Royal Highness King Yan only once a month ago. I didn’t expect that His Royal Highness still remembered me. I am deeply honored.”

Although she was terrified, there was no trace of the honor or joy of being remembered on her face. Her beautiful and flawless face was rather indifferent.

The Imperial Grandson’s brows relaxed slightly.

King Yan was met with a soft nail, but he didn’t care. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, “I gave you a name card when we met by chance in Dingxianglou. If you have anything to do, just come to King Yan’s mansion to find me. I have been waiting in the mansion for more than half a month, but I didn’t see you. Could it be that you look down on me?”
