The legitimate daughter returns to the capital and embarks on a splendid life, tearing apart the fak

Consort Zheng ordered her servants to search her courtyard thoroughly, inside and out, but they found nothing. Enraged, she smashed a room full of porcelain: "Keep investigating! It can't be an allergy; someone must have poisoned us!"

The maids and servants in the room were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

After venting her anger, she turned grim and ordered her personal maid, "Go and check if any of her people have been to my courtyard."

The old woman went out to carry out the order and quickly returned to report: "Your Highness, Shen Qingyun has taken all her people away, leaving only two cleaning women in the courtyard."

It wasn't that the nanny was addressing her incorrectly, but rather that ever since Consort Zheng took over, all the servants in the mansion had been calling her Princess, deliberately omitting the word "consort."

Consort Zheng, her face grim, asked incredulously, "They took them all?"

The old woman nodded helplessly: "Your Highness, she doesn't have many people left. Since you took over the household, she has released all her people, leaving only two personal maids and an old woman."

Consort Zheng waved her hand: "I know, you may leave."

After the servants left, she lifted her veil and looked at her disfigured face in the mirror, gritting her teeth in hatred.

The rash not only didn't disappear, but it grew denser and denser, with some of them merging into patches.

What bothers her most is that her face is both painful and itchy. When it itches, she really wants to scratch, but she has to endure it and can only press it with her hands. Even so, her face is swollen and deformed, and she doesn't dare to look in the mirror now.

Moreover, the itching was so intense that it made it impossible for her to sleep soundly.

She wanted to suspect that Shen Qingyun had hired someone to do it, but in the years she had been in charge of the affairs of the First Prince's residence, she had never given Shen Qingyun a chance. Even if she told the First Prince, he would not believe her.

She had no choice but to give up, but after taking the imperial physician's prescription for two days, her face still didn't improve.

Consort Zheng became afraid to see anyone and even dared not leave the courtyard.

She dared not see the eldest prince, fearing that he would despise her if he saw her like this, that he would never come to her courtyard again, and that he would return to Shen Qingyun's side.

But the eldest prince doesn't come here much anymore.

At first, he would come over to check on things, but later he simply made excuses to stay in the study every night.

Consort Zheng felt that the imperial physician's prescription must be wrong, so she changed to another imperial physician, but this physician could not diagnose the cause of the illness either, and could only continue to confirm the diagnosis of "allergy".

What she didn't know was that Yun Jin's poison prescription came from the Yama King's Palace, and it wasn't something just anyone could diagnose.

Moreover, even after her face healed, the rash would recur whenever the seasons changed, she became emotionally agitated, or she was exposed to wind or ate foods that could trigger allergies, and each time it would be more severe than the last.

After leaving the First Prince's residence that day, Yun Jin found a quiet, secluded corner, slipped into her spatial dimension, and took a comfortable nap.

After waking up, she went to the Fifth Prince's residence.

With the spatial ability at her disposal, the guards in the manor were practically useless to her.

Taking advantage of the cover of the space, she searched the entire Fifth Prince's residence, including the front yard, back yard, study, side hall, and even the Fifth Prince's study. But the man surnamed Xu and the child seemed to have vanished into thin air; they were nowhere to be found.

Yun Jin wondered whether those two people had actually entered the Fifth Prince's residence, or whether they were deliberately creating a diversion and pointing directly to the Fifth Prince's residence.

She didn't understand it for a while, but she wasn't bothered by it. If they couldn't find it, they couldn't find it; one day, they would just show up on their own.

She left the Fifth Prince's residence and, under the cover of night, hurried towards the estate where Shen Qingyun was recuperating outside the city.

She found her way to Shen Qingyun's room and gently knocked on the door.

Shen Qingyun was still awake, leaning against the couch reading a book. Hearing a knock at the door, she put down her book, frowned, and asked, "Who is it?"

"Sister, it's me," Yun Jin replied in a low voice.

Shen Qingyun quickly got up, opened the door, pulled Yun Jin inside, and then peeked out to make sure no one was there before closing the door. She looked Yun Jin up and down, her voice full of surprise: "Everyone said you fell into the ravine, how come you're alright?"

Yun Jin sat down opposite her, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said casually, "Many people hope something bad will happen to me. Unfortunately, I'm lucky; even the King of Hell won't take me."

Shen Qingyun looked at her in silence for a long time before finally speaking, her voice very low: "Who did it?"

Yun Jin put down her teacup and said calmly, "Consort Zheng and her sister Zheng Jie instigated Ya Min to take action. Ya Min had someone tamper with my horse and arranged for assassins. The carriage fell off a cliff, but I was lucky to survive."

Shen Qingyun snorted coldly, a glint of cold light flashing in her eyes: "She really won't rest. It's not enough to stir up trouble in the manor, she's even extending her reach outside."

Yun Jin shook her head and said helplessly, "Yes, I don't know what I did to offend her that she wants to kill me."

She paused, then looked at Shen Qingyun, "I heard that Consort Zheng is ill; she has a rash on her face. Sister, would you like to take this opportunity to go back and see the First Prince?"

Shen Qingyun shook her head: "No, I won't go back. If I go back now, she'll just turn her anger on me. Besides, it's just an allergic reaction; she'll be fine in a few days. What would I do if I went back?"

Yun Jin shook her head: "That's not necessarily true. The rash on her face won't heal so easily. Even if it does, it's very likely to recur, and it might keep recurring. It'll never be completely healed in this lifetime."

Shen Qingyun was taken aback, looking at Yun Jin with a hint of surprise and suspicion in her eyes: "Her face... did you do that?"

Yun Jin raised an eyebrow and smiled, "This time, sister has a chance."

She neither admitted nor denied it.

Looking at her smile, Shen Qingyun understood everything. She smiled back, "Wait a little longer. I'll go back once the Crown Prince has grown tired of her."

Yun Jin looked at her and nodded inwardly.

Shen Qingyun was smarter and more composed than she had imagined. Someone like that was worth her help.

She held out her hand and said, "Sister, let me take your pulse."

Shen Qingyun nodded and extended her wrist.

Shen Qingyun extended her wrist. Yun Jin placed her fingers on her pulse, carefully examining it. After a short while, she withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "Sister's health is recovering quite well. After taking the medicine for about ten more days, the toxins in your body will be completely cleared. I happen to have nowhere to go these days, so I'll stay here for a few days and help you recuperate."

Shen Qingyun looked at her, then suddenly laughed, a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "You're so calm. Do you know that the Yun family, the Chu family, and the Zheng family are all looking for you? And you're here drinking tea and chatting, acting like nothing's wrong."

Yun Jin didn't explain, but instead looked up at Shen Qingyun and said seriously, "So I'd like to ask you for a favor, sister."

Shen Qingyun looked at her and said reproachfully, "Don't be so polite with your older sister. Just tell me what's wrong. I'll definitely help if it's something I can."
