I said that Rao Yin is mentally unstable, and I didn't just say it for no reason.
This story begins when I crossed over to the Luo Xi Dynasty.
That's right, I am a time traveler. In my previous life, I fell ill, and when I woke up, I found myself in the Luo Xi Dynasty, having become the nursemaid of the Young Master, Lady Hu Third.
It is said that Lady Hu Third is the daughter of a physician who recently lost her husband and her newborn child. A year ago, she was summoned to the palace as a nursemaid, but somehow she fell and died, leaving me with an opportunity.
The Luo Xi Dynasty originally had three princes: the Eldest Prince, Rao Ye; the Second Prince, Rao Yin; and the Young Master born of Consort Yan. However, the Eldest Prince was unfortunate; on the very day I crossed over, he somehow fell into a pond and drowned. If it weren't for this incident, I would almost suspect that the Rao Yin I saw during the day and the one at night were two completely different people.
As I was lost in thought, the voice of the Emperor Xi reached me: "Yin'er, what happened to your forehead?"
Rao Yin smiled as if basking in spring sunshine: "Yesterday, while strolling in the garden, a wild cat came out of nowhere and knocked over a brick that hit my forehead. I heard that Granny Hu comes from a family of physicians; perhaps she knows some folk remedies that can prevent scarring. That's why I wanted to ask Granny Hu to take a look."
The Emperor Xi merely glanced at Rao Yin and said, "Approved."
He then took Consort Yan to admire the flowers, leaving me feeling dejected as I sank to the ground.
Rao Yin walked a few steps before suddenly turning back. I shivered as he smiled warmly: "Then I'll trouble you, Mama."
...
I have become a widow.
The widow's life is filled with troubles, and I thought things would be better in the palace. Little did I know that on the very second day after entering, I would encounter Rao Yin.
"Our Second Prince is cultured and kind-hearted," Xiao You said, watching him leave with tears in her eyes. If I hadn't witnessed his transformation at night with my own eyes, I might have believed it.
The thought of being summoned by him in the future sent a chill down my spine. With so many renowned doctors inside and outside the palace, all it would take is for the Second Prince to call out, and he could easily find one. What kind of game was he playing?
I had long known that Rao Yin held grudges. Initially, he sought revenge for the dung I had splashed on him, and now he was retaliating for the bricks I had thrown. He dumped a pile of medicinal herbs on me and ordered me to brew medicine. I had no idea how to handle these things. After several attempts, I was utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally. There were times when I rested my chin on my hand and dozed off, only to hear a voice beside me saying, "Medicine, medicine..."
I blurted out, "Do you want some jianbing guozi?"
I didn't know if it was my title as the "daughter of a physician" that had become well-known, but a few days later, the Emperor issued an edict for me to go to Lingyun Mountain, dozens of miles away, to gather what was said to be the Immortal Grass that could preserve youth and beauty. I was to return by sunset to avoid delaying the feeding of Young Master.
I had never seen any Immortal Grass before; my heart raced with anxiety. On the second day when I got into the carriage, someone beat me to it. Rao Yin was already inside in plain clothes, sipping tea comfortably.
"Second Prince!" I froze, unsure whether to step up or down.
He pulled me in with one swift motion. "You're so slow."
On the way, I asked him, "Why is the Second Prince here?"
"Naturally to accompany you," he replied with a glance at me. " Granny Hu is too cautious; she probably wouldn't be able to handle such a flexible task."
How flattering! Ugh, wasn't he just indirectly calling me foolish? He wanted to take credit while sounding so nice! I huffed quietly and decided not to speak to him again.
