After returning from Lingyun Mountain, I felt sore all over for several days.
After a good night's sleep, I descended the mountain, nearly in tears from anxiety.
What should I do? Where is the Immortal Grass? Ke Rao Yin dragged me down the mountain without a care.
Later, I saw him coming out of Consort Yan's palace and asked, "Did Consort Yan blame you?" He chuckled, " Award didn't have time for that. The Immortal Grass truly lives up to its name."
"When did the Second Prince gather the Immortal Grass?" I couldn't recall.
Suddenly, I received a sharp reprimand from him as he turned to leave: " Granny Hu is reliable; it seems even a sow can climb a tree."
Back in my room, I wondered how that bolt of lightning hadn't struck this wretched creature. Before long, an old matron from Consort Yan's palace came to say that Consort Yan wanted to see me.
During my time in the palace, I had little interaction with Consort Yan. Although I was the wet nurse for her child, the Young Master’s comings and goings were managed by the old matron.
Consort Yan reclined on a soft couch, her enchanting eyes fixed on me. "I used that Immortal Grass to make powder, and it really works wonders. Thank you, Granny Hu."
"You're welcome; it wasn't my doing," I replied politely, but I felt her gaze piercing through me.
"I heard that you were trapped with the Second Prince on Lingyun Mountain that day?" Consort Yan's voice carried a hint of inquiry.
"It rained heavily, and the Second Prince was considerate enough to let me take shelter with him," I quickly explained. I noticed a fleeting emotion in her beautiful eyes, but it vanished just as quickly. She smiled gracefully and said, "I was just asking casually. By the way, the Young Master has started teething; that Immortal Grass is also cooling and can help with bruising. Take some with you to avoid hurting him."
Consort Yan's concern was truly thoughtful, and I felt a bit embarrassed holding the ointment. In my past life, I was a young maiden, but now… my emotions were inexplicably low.
It was the height of summer, so I decided to slip into a nearby artificial cave. The cave was cool and empty, and as I opened the porcelain bottle and dabbed a bit on my chest, it felt refreshingly soothing.
Just as I was about to take a nap, I heard the sound of light footsteps outside the cave.
A familiar figure stopped by the pond—it was Rao Yin.
Remembering that night made my heart race again. I contemplated whether to reveal myself when I noticed his gaze drifting into the distance.
There, someone was approaching slowly—it was none other than Consort Yan, whom I had seen earlier.
Consort Yan walked up to Rao Yin, her gaze softer than I had ever seen: “You’ve lost weight again recently.”
“You…” I could bet that this was not the expression or tone a consort should have towards a prince! My mind went blank as I held my breath, too afraid to move.
I couldn't see Rao Yin's expression; he had his back to me and simply replied calmly, “Yes.”
“Do you know why I asked you here?” Consort Yan fixed her eyes on him.
He chuckled softly, “Is it because you miss me?”
I dug my fingertips into my palm, my eyes widening in shock.
Rao Yin and Consort Yan...
Consort Yan's gaze seemed to drift, and after a long pause, she spoke softly, "I just came to see if you have forgotten the vows you made back then. Recently, it seems you've been getting too close to Lady Hu Third."
Hearing the name " Lady Hu Third," my heart skipped a beat.
Rao Yin replied, word by word, "I said before, she is merely a pawn I use against my brother. Now that he is dead, my approach to her is just a test to see if she remembers what happened before."
"And how did your test go?" Consort Yan seemed somewhat anxious when mentioning that matter.
"She probably really has lost her memory," Rao Yin's voice was cold.
Consort Yan's brow furrowed in concern. "No, we cannot take that risk. She must not be left alive."
I was startled, but I heard Rao Yin say, "No, keeping her might still be useful."
