Leng Yu Yan’s lips twitched. Why did Miao Zhu have to say everything? She raised her hand to her forehead, "Don’t get the wrong idea, I was just telling it to behave when going to the toilet and not act like a dog, otherwise, it’s no meat for it. It understood that." Yinhui was already clever. A few training sessions with meat and bones had been successful. Besides, she was just giving orders. As for matters like bathing Yinhui, there were plenty of servants in the Prince Mansion who could do that. Ye Yiheng breathed a sigh of relief. He really had misunderstood, thinking she taught it hands-on. The others didn’t think as Ye Yiheng had, instead, they simply praised her, "The Commandery Princess is truly amazing!" Song Guo: "No wonder the little wolf cub looks so clean!" Ruo Feng: "Right, I see so many dogs in the street running around, even defecating here and there. One time, it almost made me step in dog poop." The horse carriage driver, Mo Chen, burst out laughing, "Ruo Feng, you didn’t almost step on it, you actually did step on it. I can testify to that." Ruo Feng scratched his head and laughed sheepishly, then also raised his voice: "You damn Mo Chen, the time I stepped in it, you were even more foolish. I had already stepped in it, and you went and stepped in it too." "It was an accident," Mo Chen recalled, still annoyed, "Besides, you knew you’d stepped in dog poop but you didn’t warn me, and even worse, you pulled me into it. You have a wicked heart!" Ye Yiheng not only felt a pain in his eyes but also a headache. He should never have brought these two fools out with him! Leng Yu Yan shook her head, unable to hold back a smile, and turned her thoughts to the composition of the pill to treat eye diseases. The horse carriage travelled all night, with Mo Chen, Ruo Feng, and Song Guo each taking turns driving. Early in the morning, Miao Zhu bought breakfast in a market along the way, replenished their dry food, and they continued on their journey. Chun Liu and Xia Tao had just arrived in Jiangzhou. They had come to Jiangzhou more than once to deliver messages, and headed straight for the Zhang Mansion upon arriving. When Elder Mrs. Zhang heard that the maid of her granddaughter had come, she immediately had her brought in. Upon seeing Elder Mrs. Zhang, Chun Liu and Xia Tao performed their courtesies, then Chun Liu presented the letter with both hands. "Elder Mrs. Zhang, this is a letter from our Commandery Princess for your review!" Mrs. Zhao excitedly took the letter and handed it to Elder Mrs. Zhang. Elder Mrs. Zhang patted Mrs. Zhao’s hand, "Look how excited you are. Don’t rush. Let me see what Nannan has written in her letter." While speaking, Elder Mrs. Zhang unfolded the letter and silently read through every word on it. Mrs. Zhao asked softly, "Elder Mrs. Zhang, what does the Commandery Princess say in her letter?" Elder Mrs. Zhang, trembling, ordered a servant present, "Hurry, quickly fetch the Master home from the market!" The servant left to follow the order. Only then did Elder Mrs. Zhang inform Mrs. Zhao, "Nannan has found the murderer who killed my daughter!" When Zhang Ruohai hurried back to the mansion and read the letter, the mother and son hugged each other and wept. Once Elder Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Ruohai had calmed down, Chun Liu and Xia Tao took their leave. "Elder Mrs. Zhang, Uncle, we have other pressing matters to attend to, so we’ll take our leave now!" Elder Mrs. Zhang nodded, "Alright, take good care of her when you return to Nannan’s side." The two agreed and then departed. Zhang Ruohai, clutching the letter tightly, watched the departing figures of Chun Liu and Xia Tao, murmuring, "Yan’er is certainly capable of great responsibilities!" Thinking of his late nephew Lai Ran filled Zhang Ruohai’s heart with agony. He then took solace in the thought that Leng Yu Yan had managed to identify the true criminal and had him thrown in jail. He turned back to Elder Mrs. Zhang and said, "Mother, Yan’er previously wrote about her upcoming wedding with the Crown Prince. I believe our family should prepare a generous gift!" Elder Mrs. Zhang agreed, "Indeed, even though she has been acknowledged by Prince Zhenbei and lacks nothing, Nannan is after all our Zhang Family’s granddaughter. The generous gift is a must!" Ye Yiheng and Leng Yu Yan had traveled another day and night on the road and finally arrived at Linqing Pavilion on the morning of the second day. Seeing the Pavilion Master return, the Pavilion Members lined up to welcome her. The sight of the Crown Prince with his eyes covered in a white veil alongside her surprised all the Pavilion Members. An elder grabbed hold of Leng Yu Yan, "Pavilion Master, this is..." "There’s no need to worry, the Crown Prince is aware of my identity," Leng Yu Yan declared confidently. "From now on, if outsiders come to the mountain seeking medical attention, we should handle it as we did before." Everyone nodded in understanding. The elder suggested, "Since the Pavilion Master has returned, let’s celebrate." Leng Yu Yan waved her hand, "I have pressing matters to attend to; everyone, go about your business." The Pavilion Members agreed and dispersed in every direction. Mo Chen, watching the numerous Pavilion Members, asked Miao Zhu beside him, "With so many Pavilion Members, the number is like that of a large village; how does the Commandery Princess ensure everyone keeps tight-lipped?" Ruofeng wondered, "Could there be some kind of pill that keeps people silent?" He thought back to when he had come here searching for the Divine Doctor and had met many Pavilion Members, yet hadn’t found a single leak. Surely, the Commandery Princess had some pill that sealed lips. Miao Zhu raised an eyebrow, "You are unaware; the members of Linqing Pavilion were all saved by the Commandery Princess, and their lives are all indebted to her. If it were you, how would you act?" Mo Chen and Ruofeng looked towards Ye Yiheng, realizing they would naturally be loyal to the Crown Prince since it was he who had saved them! Still, there were always those who, for the sake of wealth, status, or other reasons, would betray their Master. Did such people exist in Linqing Pavilion? But considering Ruofeng’s lengthy stay here without uncovering anything, it seemed the Pavilion Members were loyal only to the Commandery Princess. Upon entering the main hall of Linqing Pavilion, Leng Yu Yan instructed Miao Zhu, "Take His Highness and Mo Chen to rest." Miao Zhu acknowledged her command and led the Crown Prince along with his attendants to the guest rooms in the back courtyard. Upon returning to her room, Leng Yu Yan set down the four types of medicinal herbs, then shouldered a medicine basket and headed straight for the back mountain. To cure someone’s eye condition, she was still missing two herbs. These two herbs grew on the back mountain within the territory of Linqing Pavilion and were not usually needed; hence, they were not cultivated by the people of Linqing Pavilion. At this moment, Leng Yu Yan had no choice but to gather them herself. Being on her own terrain, it took her just four hours to collect the necessary herbs. Back in her room, Leng Yu Yan immediately started processing the medicinal herbs without any break. Miao Zhu knocked on the door, "Commandery Princess, you haven’t had lunch, and it’s already the afternoon. Please, eat something at least." "Miao Zhu, be quiet!" Leng Yu Yan was deeply focused on scrapping the frost from the leaves of the Lanshuang Grass. It required extreme concentration to not tear the leaves while making sure no frost was wasted. Once the leaves tore, the toxins inside would be released. This was one of the reasons she insisted on gathering the herbs herself. Fortunately, thanks to Yinhui’s safe carrying technique, she didn’t even dare to think about the potential consequences. And thanks to Yinhui, the leaves were miraculously undamaged, not even slightly. Knowing she should not be disturbed while working, Miao Zhu reluctantly left with the meal. Midway, she encountered Song Guo, who upon seeing the untouched meal, asked, "Why isn’t the Commandery Princess eating?" "The Commandery Princess is busy." "Then I will ask His Highness to persuade her. She has to eat eventually." Miao Zhu quickly stopped him, "No, don’t go. The Commandery Princess is probably making medicine; we can’t disturb her." At that moment, Ye Yiheng came over, supported by Mo Chen, "What’s the commotion?" After the two repeated their conversation, Ye Yiheng said softly, "Bring me a chair. I will wait for Yan’er by her room door." Miao Zhu thought to herself in alarm, if His Highness disturbs the Commandery Princess and causes her to spoil the medicine, the consequences are too dreadful to consider.
