She took out the medical book left behind by her mother from the drawer and flipped to the last page. She placed the two books together and realized that the patterns in both books were the same. They were only half-drawn. When put together, it formed the image of an auspicious cloud.

“What’s going on?” Su Yingxue’s heart was pounding intensely.

“Princess, you mentioned that you brought this book from the Yue Kingdom’s imperial palace. How did the Yue Kingdom’s imperial palace obtain it? This pattern… Do you know what this pattern represents?”

Su Yingxue hastily pushed the two books in front of Sheng Ping and asked urgently.

Sheng Ping was also somewhat puzzled. “This book has been cherished by my mother. I’ve seen this pattern before. When I was young, my mother mentioned that she and her close friend drew this together. They each contributed half of the drawing. On every book that my mother owned, this pattern would be depicted.”

As she spoke, she opened the other two books. The last pages of both books featured the same pattern.

Su Yingxue held the medical book left behind by her mother, and her hand trembled.

Did her mother know the empress of the Yue Kingdom?

“Princess, could you please try to recall more about your mother… Her friend’s identity? Have you ever met this friend?”

Sheng Ping shook her head. “I’ve only heard my mother mention it. My mother is of noble status in the Yue Kingdom, and her close friend is naturally of high rank as well. There’s more than one such friend, but I can’t remember who it is at the moment…”

“Princess, please think carefully. This is related to my mother!” Su Yingxue urgently pleaded.

Sheng Ping furrowed her brows. Could it be that Su Yingxue’s mother was the person who knew her mother?

“Dr. Su, our princess has just sustained an injury and hasn’t fully recovered. It might not be easy for her to remember right now. How about you give her a few days to rest and recover? If she recalls anything, she can inform you later.” Lian’er requested on Sheng Ping’s behalf.

Despite her impatience, Su Yingxue could only nod in agreement. “Thank you, princess.”

Her mind was consumed with thoughts about her mother’s connection to the Yue Kingdom’s royal family, and she failed to notice the curiosity in Sheng Ping’s eyes.

Sheng Ping put on her veil and hood again and took Lian’er back to the Princess’s Manor.

On the way, Lian’er smiled. “Princess, with Dr. Su thinking about you, your days will be much better! If she wanted to know about her mother, she would protect you.”

After leaving the clinic, Sheng Ping no longer forced herself to stay alert. The smile faded from her face, replaced by bitterness. “For someone like me, being alive is already a burden. Why would I want her to protect me? Am 1 going to burden her?”

“Princess, please don’t speak like that! You are also a princess! If it weren’t for the Ninth Prince…”

“That’s enough. Don’t discuss Your Highness!” Sheng Ping closed her eyes, locking away all the pain within.

She had never held any resentment towards Chu Yihan, the one who had conquered the capital of the Yue Kingdom.

Her parents had sacrificed their lives for their country, and it wasn’t Chu Yihan who had forced them to. As the enemy’s commander, Chu Yihan spared her life and even allowed her to live in the Great Cheng Dynasty for several years. That was already a considerable favor.

Even without him, another country would likely have seized the opportunity to invade the Yue Kingdom.

At that time, her humiliation might have been even more severe than it was now.

Chu Yihan couldn’t be blamed for her country’s fall.

And why didn’t she tell Su Yingxue directly? Why did she keep her hanging? It wasn’t because she wanted her to protect her, but because…

It would provide her with more opportunities to see Chu Yihan, even if just briefly, even if they couldn’t exchange words. She wanted to see him more.

Back then, the image of the iron horse and spear breaking through the city gate was truly awe-inspiring..
