The clingy concubine ran away, and the sickly prince lost control.

Pry open a charred wardrobe door. Inside, there's a knob. Yuan Qing gently turns it: "Aunt Luo, it's a secret passage."

"This is Jing Bufan's package."

Luo Qingyan picked up a cloth bag at the entrance of the secret passage, with half a jade pendant underneath.

"Aunt Luo, you go back first. I'll follow the secret passage and chase after him. Maybe I can catch up." Yuan Qing said, and quickly left. If he could catch up with Jing Bufan, the young master would be saved.

"Okay." Luo Qingyan returned carrying the package.

Pei Shiyuan remains in a coma.

"Physician, how is the young master?"

"Auntie, please forgive my incompetence, the acupuncture has no effect, and I don't know if the young master will wake up." The physician bowed his head.

Luo Qingyan froze, then slumped into a chair.

"Yuan'er." The old lady arrived, looking anxious, followed by Zheng Mama and several servants.

She hadn't heard from Jing Bufan all day and was getting restless. When she learned that Pei Shiyuan was unconscious in Nanshan Garden, she rushed over that very night.

Luo Qingyan quickly stood up, bowed her head, and felt very guilty for not being able to find Jing Bufan.

"Physician, what should we do?" The usually composed old lady panicked.

The physician could only shake his head and sigh.

"Yuan'er." The old lady rushed to Pei Shiyuan's bedside, wiping away her tears.

"Physician, this is a package left by Jing Bufan. Do you see if there's anything usable?" Luo Qingyan said weakly.

She checked them; they were all medicinal herbs.

Upon hearing that the item belonged to the legendary physician Jing Bufan, the physician immediately accepted it.

Seeing Jing Bufan was the dream of many doctors. For him to see the divine doctor's things was already extremely precious. By the candlelight, he carefully took out the small bag from the package and carefully examined it: "Nourishing Spirit Mushroom".

The physician exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone immediately gathered around.

"The Nourishing Spirit Herb, also known as the Immortal Herb, grows on the Ancestral Continent of the East Sea. It has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life and may be able to save the Crown Prince."

Soon, the herbal decoction of the herbal mushroom was prepared and given to Pei Shiyuan.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

After a cup of tea.

"Cough cough cough." Pei Shiyuan coughed a few times and then spat out half a basin of black water.

The physician rolled up his sleeves, strode forward, and took Pei Shiyuan's pulse. His eyes lit up instantly: "It's effective, Madam. Judging from the pulse, the young master's illness is at least half cured."

"That's wonderful! You truly are a miracle doctor!" The old lady clapped her hands excitedly. "Qingyan, thank you."

"I wonder if Yuan Qing can find a divine doctor." After saying this, Luo Qingyan fainted and slumped down, leaning against Liu Yue.

"Aunt Luo fainted because she inhaled some smoke and dust and was overly worried. Two doses of medicine will do the trick."

The physician rushed to write a prescription, adding two tonic herbs as Aunt Luo was too thin and needed to be nourished.

Without Consort Luo, the young master would probably already be...

Meeting Consort Luo is truly a blessing for the young master.

Luo Qingyan lay down on the couch next to her, took her medicine, and went to sleep.

The old lady stayed in the house all night. On the way here, she thought she would never see her son again.

The next day, at dawn, the birds on the branches sang sweetly, and in the blink of an eye, they spread their wings and circled, drawing graceful arcs in the air.

"Mother."

Pei Shiyuan called out to the old lady who was dozing off in the chair.

"Yuan'er." The old lady hurried over to help Pei Shiyuan up.

Pei Shiyuan sat up straight, moved one leg slightly, and with some strength, he tried to stand up while holding onto the edge of the bed, puzzled.

The old lady tried to help him, but he stopped her.

Pei Shiyuan stood up shakily.

"Yuan'er, you can walk now!" the old lady exclaimed.

Upon hearing the old lady's voice, Luo Qingyan slowly woke up and saw Pei Shiyuan standing beside her.

She sat up immediately: "Your Highness, you can walk now."

"It's still a bit strenuous." Pei Shiyuan supported one leg as he walked forward.

"I'll call the royal physician to come and take a look." The old lady was about to call someone, but Pei Shiyuan stopped her: "Mother, don't tell anyone that I can walk. To this day, we still don't know why I suddenly fell ill, so I will remain in a wheelchair until the cause is found out. Don't make a fuss."

The old lady nodded, seemingly lost in thought. Perhaps Yuan'er's illness was indeed caused by someone secretly.

"Are you stupid?! You're rushing into the fire." Pei Shiyuan glanced coldly at Luo Qingyan.

The old lady smiled and went out, saying, "I'm going to check on breakfast."

Let the young people talk about their own affairs.

Speaking of this, Luo Qingyan suddenly became angry and glared at Pei Shiyuan.

Pei Shiyuan was taken aback. She dared to glare at him. Apart from her clingy nature, Luo Qingyan was otherwise quite good. She was mild-mannered, gentle, and lively.

Is she about to lash out at him?

Pei Shiyuan could see with his naked eye that Luo Qingyan's eyes were red with anger.

"Why did you choose to live across the street?" Luo Qingyan demanded, almost grabbing Pei Shiyuan by the collar and yelling at him.

Why does he live across the street? Doesn't he even ask himself where he lives?

He was just curious why Luo Qingyan believed so much in the existence of the divine doctor, and was even so certain that Jing Bufan would come.

How could he know her every move if he didn't live across the street? In order to avoid being discovered by Luo Qingyan, he even moved in quietly and didn't even turn on the lights at night.

This fool rushed into the fire for a legendary miracle doctor.

If he had been a little slower, she would have died, and yet she dared to question him.

"I just stayed anywhere."

"You just moved in anywhere? Do you know that's the room Jing Bufan was supposed to stay in?" Luo Qingyan shouted, tears streaming down her face.

"How did you know which room Jing Bufan would stay in?" Pei Shiyuan raised an eyebrow. From Luo Qingyan's fortune-telling to now, she still knows which room Jing Bufan will stay in. It's truly amazing.

Luo Qingyan paused, "I... I asked the servant."

In his excitement, he almost blurted out that he knew the answer, which aroused Pei Shiyuan's suspicion.

"When Jing Bufan heard from the servant that his room had been occupied by someone else, he left in a fit of anger."

"Then why is he here again?" Pei Shiyuan pressed.

Just then, Yuan Qing, who had been searching for Jing Bufan all night, returned.

Luo Qingyan was so angry she felt powerless. She sat back down on the couch: "Your Highness, please ask Yuan Qing!"

She was powerless to defend herself and only felt a headache coming on; she was truly furious.

"Your Highness, we haven't found Jing Bufan. He entered and exited Nanshan Garden through a secret passage that leads outside Nanshan, outside the circle we've surrounded. His whereabouts are currently unknown," Yuan Qing reported.

"Where is the exit of the secret passage?" Pei Shiyuan asked.

"It's just a hole covered with weeds, on the edge of a mound, very inconspicuous, you can't see it from the outside."

"Keep the secret passage in Nanshan a secret for now. Go down!" Pei Shiyuan's eyes deepened.

Behind Nanshan Garden is the Third Prince.

Whether the Third Prince knew about the secret passage remains to be verified. If he did know, what would he want the secret passage for?

After Yuan Qing left, only Luo Qingyan and Pei Shiyuan remained in the room, their breathing sounding so quiet it was almost loud.

"Don't tell anyone that I can leave."

"I know," Luo Qingyan said calmly.

A cold wind swept over Pei Shiyuan; no one had ever dared to speak to him like that before. Luo Qingyan was angry. But by a twist of fate, he ended up staying in the room Jing Bufan wanted: "Luckily, you found Jing Bufan's herbs."

His tone softened.

"Alas, it's a pity I didn't get to see him in person, otherwise your illness would have been cured, Your Highness." Luo Qingyan said, becoming excited again.

"What are you holding in your hand?"
