The harem emphasized that a son’s status depended on his mother. Concubine Hui came from a lowly background and did not have a prominent family background or outstanding talent. She also did not have any connections in the court. Her son should not be a threat to the other concubines with outstanding family backgrounds in the palace.

However, what if the previous emperor valued his son extremely much? He even ignored the fact that he had a disgraceful and sickly mother, wanting to nurture him as the heir.

There were no children in the Central Palace. As long as there were concubines in the harem, everyone could fight for that position.

So what if the previous emperor wanted to pursue the matter?

That also depended on whether the court officials were willing to let the emperor cause trouble for an insignificant but favored concubine.

If the emperor really doted on his son, he would endure it to prevent himself from offending the court officials because of this. In the future, King Li of Zhou’s situation would be even more difficult.

Yu Youyao’s heart skipped a beat. She felt that she had seen something extraordinary.

She couldn’t think about such things.

Yu Youyao quickly chased away the messy thoughts in her mind. “Was King Li of Zhou’s illness caused by a head injury that caused the blood in his head to not dissipate?”

She also knew a little about pathology.

It was very dangerous for the blood to accumulate in the skull. The patient had to recuperate well. As time passed, the blood might gradually dissipate and the symptoms would decrease, but there was also a risk of worsening and losing one’s life.

Yin Huaixi did not know what she was thinking, and a trace of coldness appeared in his eyes. “That’s indeed the case. There’s blood in his head. It’s difficult for ordinary medicinal soup to dissolve it completely, so it can only be supplemented with acupuncture. It’s just that my father’s situation was more dangerous at that time. Even the imperial physicians with the best medical skills in the Imperial Academy of Medicine were not completely confident. Furthermore, the imperial physicians were used to protecting the bodies of patients, so they could only use a stable method of supplementing his body with medicinal soup.”

The previous emperor had almost lost his beloved son, so he did not dare to take the risk easily.

It was also because of this that the previous emperor had indulged his beloved son a little more, so it was inevitable that he would develop the habit of being a good-for-nothing.

Yu Youyao guessed that there should be other inside information, but she also knew that there were some things that were best not to ask too clearly. “Then, was King Zhou Li’s illness cured later?”

Yin Huaixi nodded. “He’s cured.”

Yu Youyao vaguely guessed something.

Indeed!

Yin Huaixi changed the topic and said, “Men always have ridiculous and humble pride when facing the woman they like. In my father’s words, my mother is the number one talent in the capital. How can he embarrass her? She taught him personally. He has to do it. Even if he can’t, he has to do it.”

“Your mother, I mean the Princess Consort…” Yu Youyao was a little nervous. The blood in his head had not dissolved at first. It had been in his head for many years. If it was treated with acupuncture, the danger would be even greater.contemporary romance

Yin Huaixi smiled. “My mother doesn’t know about this at all. My father was afraid that she would be worried, so he didn’t dare to tell her, nor did he allow me to tell her. He secretly ordered someone to find a famous doctor who was proficient in acupuncture. I don’t know if he’s stupid or too blindly confident. As soon as he heard that the other party’s ancestor was a King of Medicine, he didn’t figure out the other party’s background. Regardless of whether their medical skills were really brilliant, he got someone to insert needles into his head.”

Yu Youyao’s lips curled up. Back then, she had accidentally obtained an incomplete recipe from overseas and had a glimpse of the recipe to make an ointment. However, because the recipe was incomplete, she did not know much about the method of making it. Later on, after it was made, she had only tried it on an old woman before giving it to Yin Huaixi.

Yin Huaixi really dared to use it.

He did not doubt the origins of this incomplete recipe, nor did he doubt if the ointment was made correctly. Could there be a problem?

He trusted a ten-year-old girl who had been learning about incense medicine for less than a year.

In Yin Huaixi’s own words, he didn’t know if he was stupid or too blindly confident.

As expected of father and son!

Yin Huaixi felt that her smile was a little strange, but he did not think too much about it. “It’s probably because a fool is lucky that he met Uncle Sun.”

In terms of medical skills, Uncle Sun was still inferior to Imperial Physician Shi, and was on par with Imperial Physician Hu. However, in terms of acupuncture skills, Uncle Sun claimed to be second, and no one dared to claim to be first.

Yu Youyao pursed her lips and smiled. “Then you’re quite lucky.”

Yin Huaixi actually felt that Yu Youyao was beating around the bush to say that he was stupid. He remained calm. “It’s indeed my blessing to meet you.”

His leg had been cured by Uncle Sun.

However, if it weren’t for the spiritual dewdrop that had nourished his severely damaged body foundation, the Essence Protection Pill that had nourished his vitality, and the ointment that had nourished his broken leg for five to six years, it would have gradually withered. Even if Uncle Sun had superb divine acupuncture skills, he wouldn’t be able to treat him.

Yu Youyao held the cinnabar orchid and laughed so hard that it trembled. “Did you also learn your ability to find orchids from King Li of Zhou?”

Yin Huaixi kept saying that he despised his father, but he had also learned a lot from him.

The best father- son pair in the world were like friends.

Yin Huaixi coughed and denied, “I’m not interested in these flowers and plants. It’s just that I’ve heard him mutter too much, so I inevitably understand a little, and I didn’t deliberately learn about them.” He quickly changed the topic. “Previously, when I was patrolling the mountain, I looked at the terrain and environment of Tai Mo Shan and guessed that there would be orchids. According to the growth habits of the orchids, I found this cinnabar orchid.”

Previously, he had also found other varieties, but wild orchids were not as good as domestic ones. This one was the best-looking one he had chosen.

He was just like him.

Yes, it was difficult to tear down a person.

A hint of slyness appeared in Yu Youyao’s eyes. “I’ve never raised flowers and plants in the past. The flowers and trees in the courtyard are all taken care of by special servants. I heard that orchids are delicate and difficult to raise. In the future, I’ll have to trouble Nineteenth Brother to help me raise this cinnabar orchid.”

“Okay!” Yin Huaixi nodded subconsciously.

Then, he reacted.

Nurturing orchids was a delicate job. It could be said that he was lucky to find a high-grade cinnabar orchid. However, if he even knew how to raise orchids, it wouldn’t be because he hadn’t deliberately learned it, but because he knew it well.

Yin Huaixi twirled his fingers and felt his hands itch. He subconsciously wanted to knock her forehead, but when he saw her smiling innocently, he couldn’t do it.

The jade-colored top made her look like a cardamom flower on a branch, slender and elegant.

The milky-white flower bud was as soft as cream, crystal clear, and as warm as jade. There was a hint of rouge at the top of the flower bud. It was delicate and beautiful. Before it bloomed, it was already so beautiful that it was suffocating.

The closed buds couldn’t help but let one’s imagination run wild. When the buds first bloomed, the dark red color bloomed slightly, and the flower crown appeared. How stunning would that be?

Yin Huaixi sighed softly and couldn’t help but tremble his fingertips. He raised his hand and gently brushed a strand of hair by her cheek behind her ear. “Little mischievous girl!”

His fingers, which often held a brush and practiced the knife, were covered with a thin layer of calluses. They were a little rough and gently scraped past her ears with a tremble. Yu Youyao’s fair face was stained with a trace of rouge, so it was naturally rubbed away. She couldn’t help but lower her head and call out softly, “Nineteenth Brother.”
