Chapter 166 Her True Purpose
Yunwei did not answer immediately, but looked at Granny Cui with scrutiny.

But the other person had a kind and gentle expression, as if it were just a casual remark.

"This is common knowledge. I wonder why Granny Cui asks this?" After a long pause, Yun Wei said calmly.

The Empress Dowager looked at Granny Cui with a puzzled expression. "Why are you asking this?"

Grandma Cui smiled and said, "I didn't mean anything by it, I was just asking casually."

The Empress Dowager didn't take it to heart, but Yunwei felt it was unusual.

Someone who sent her invitations several times in order to see her, and now finally met her through the Empress Dowager, couldn't possibly have just come to ask such a trivial question.

However, Granny Cui did not do anything unusual after that, and she talked about ordinary topics.

"...If you have time, Princess, you can visit my Muyun Manor. There are several girls in my clan who are about your age. You will surely be able to talk to them," Granny Cui said kindly.

Yun Wei nodded, "I will definitely visit you when I have the chance."

"Then the old woman waited in the village for the county magistrate's arrival," Granny Cui said sincerely.

The two talked with the Empress Dowager for a long time before taking their leave of the palace.

When leaving the palace, Yunwei was about to leave first, but Granny Cui stopped her, saying, "If the county princess doesn't mind, please leave the palace with me, so we can keep each other company."

Yunwei was still hesitating when the Empress Dowager spoke up: "Anyway, it's on the way out of the palace, Weiwei, why don't you go with Granny Cui?"

Yunwei didn't say much, so she nodded.

As soon as they came out of Shou Kang Palace, Granny Cui suddenly asked, "Princess, where is Physician Hua now?"

Yun Wei glanced at her, her tone indifferent and aloof, "Why does Granny Cui ask such a question?"

Granny Cui's originally kind and gentle expression faded somewhat. "Let's not beat around the bush. You must be Wang Wei, the last disciple of Doctor Hua, right?"

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed across Yun Wei's brow.

Just now, in front of the Empress Dowager, Granny Cui was very composed, but now, she has revealed her true intentions.

She sneered inwardly, but said aloud, "What's so special about the name Wang Wei? There are plenty of people in the world named Wang Wei. Granny Cui, you must have mistaken me for someone else."

Granny Cui stared at her for a while, then suddenly sighed, “I have no ill intentions, Your Highness need not be so wary. However, a month ago, the news that the divine physician’s disciple, Wang Wei, possessed a treasure and the secret to immortality spread throughout the four kingdoms. Now everyone is searching for your whereabouts, Your Highness should be careful.”

Yunwei was naturally aware of this matter.

It is also known that this was the work of the Emperor of the Moon Kingdom.

In order to force himself to show up, he actually fabricated such a lie.

A mocking glint appeared in her eyes.

"Grandma Cui, there's no need to test me. I don't know any miracle doctors."

Upon hearing this, Granny Cui smiled and said nothing more.

Upon arriving at the palace gate, Yunwei bid her farewell and was about to board the carriage when she suddenly saw someone getting off a carriage next to her.

The person looked somewhat familiar.

Just as Yunwei was wondering where she had seen this person before, the person suddenly looked at her.

Their eyes met, and they saw each other clearly.

"Miss Yao?" Yun Wei was somewhat surprised.

That person was Yao Zifei.

However, today she was dressed very conservatively, and her face was bare and without makeup.

Yao Zifei recognized her, nodded at her, and without saying anything, turned and followed the eunuch leading the way toward the palace gate.

Yunwei stood there for a while, watching her enter the palace gate before she looked away.

Wasn't Yao Zifei working at the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment institution)? How did she end up in the palace?
Was it the Emperor or Empress Dowager Feng who summoned her?

Yunwei felt puzzled.

When they returned to Qingyi Garden, Liu Mama from Yihong Building actually came.

It seemed she had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Yunwei return, she hurriedly went to greet her, "Master."

Seeing her anxious expression, Yunwei asked, "Has something happened in the building?" Liu Mama shook her head and lowered her voice, "Nothing has happened in the building, but recently, many guests from other places have been coming to the building. They are all talking about the disciple of the divine physician. Those people are all after the treasure and the secret of immortality that the divine physician has. County Princess... you should be careful."

Yunwei already knows about this.

I just didn't expect those people to arrive so quickly.

She did not deliberately hide the fact that she had adoptive parents. With just a little inquiry, it would be known that she used to be called Wang Wei.

That's why Liu's mother was so anxious.

"Don't worry, I have a plan," Yun Wei reassured her.

Hearing her say that, Mrs. Liu felt a little relieved. "I just came to remind the employer that it's best to stay home as much as possible these days."

"Okay." Yun Wei nodded.

“Since the master already has a solution in mind, I’ll head back now,” said Liu’s mother.

"Uncle Chen, see Mother Liu out," Yun Wei instructed.

Uncle Chen quickly saw Liu's mother out the door.

Yunwei sat on the chair for a while, and was about to return to the courtyard when Uncle Chen walked in, followed by Sang Qing.

"Princess," Sang Qing stepped forward and bowed.

Yun Wei was somewhat surprised, "Why is Eunuch Sang here?"

"My master sent me to help the county princess move," Sang Qing replied with a smile.

"Move?" Yun Wei frowned.

“Yes.” Sang Qing nodded. “Recently, many people have come to the capital. Some are from other prefectures and counties, and some are from other countries. The master is worried that it is not safe here, so he wants the county princess to move to the county princess’s mansion first.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Wei pursed her lips and remained silent.

It seems that Rong Zhen has also heard that rumor.

“The master originally intended to come and help the county princess move in person, but he has been inspecting the military camps these past few days and is too busy,” Sang Qing added when she saw that the princess was silent.

After a moment's thought, Yunwei said, "I understand. We'll move tomorrow. You can bring people over again tomorrow."

Sang Qing breathed a sigh of relief and was very happy when she saw that she had agreed to move to the county princess's mansion. "Then this servant will go back first."

"Mm." Yun Wei nodded.

Now that those people have come all the way to the capital, and given that Granny Cui has been testing her in every way today, her identity as a disciple of the Divine Physician Hua will probably be exposed soon, and they will find her here.

It seems that Qingyi Garden will never be peaceful again.

The next day.

Uncle Chen then led his men to the county magistrate's residence to tidy it up.

Tian'er also packed some of Yunwei's clothes and toiletries and went to the county princess's mansion first.

When Xuanyuan Jing, Huang Ying, and Liang Tian arrived, they were surprised to see everyone in the mansion busy.

"Are you moving out?" Xuan Yuanjing asked.

“Starting tomorrow, I will be moving into the county princess’s residence. You can come there to find me then.” Yun Wei did not hide anything from the three of them.

"I heard that the county princess's residence and the regent's residence are separated by only one wall. If you move there, wouldn't you be even closer to the regent?" Xuan Yuanjing's eyes were ambiguous.

"Hmm, what's the problem?" Yunwei asked in return.

Meeting her serious gaze, Xuan Yuanjing choked for a moment and said awkwardly, "No problem, how could there be a problem? You two are already engaged, and you'll be living together after the wedding. Moving in now will help you get to know each other and strengthen your relationship."

Huang and Liang also said with a smile, "The princess is right. If Master and the Regent live close to each other, they can get to know each other better in advance."

Seeing that they had misunderstood, Yunwei didn't explain, but simply said, "Yingying, Tiantian, are you ready?"

She suddenly brought it up, and the two of them gasped, nodding, "Yes."

Yunwei noticed their nervousness and reassured them, "Don't be afraid, just follow the plan we agreed on. Since you're ready, let's do it tomorrow. You two will go out of the city to offer incense, then encounter thugs and die." As she spoke, she took out two porcelain bottles from her sleeve and handed them to the two of them.

The two took the porcelain bottle, held it tightly in their hands, and said nervously, "Then Master must come and dig us out."

Yunwei nodded, "Don't worry, I will. By the way, before you leave the city tomorrow, you must take the medicine. After you leave the city, head towards the river. If you encounter any villains, just jump into the water."
