In today's Western Chu, Princess Yun Qingyu was no longer the naive girl easily manipulated by others.
She acted solely according to her own will, never caring about others' opinions and refusing to allow anyone to interfere.
Even when faced with the Empress Dowager's pressure and coercion, she remained unfazed. To her, dismissing a Consort who did not uphold marital fidelity was simply the right thing to do; there was nothing wrong with it.
Upon hearing that Yun Qingyu intended to dismiss the Consort, the Empress Dowager's expression darkened, her eyes filled with fury as she scolded, "Xiao Chi, do you have any sense of propriety left? How dare you be so audacious in front of me!"
The Empress Dowager's voice echoed through the palace, carrying an overwhelming authority that made the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs tremble in fear, all lowering their heads.
Yet Yun Qingyu showed no signs of fear. Her cold, emotionless gaze fixed on the Empress Dowager, revealing no hint of retreat.
For a moment, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence, as if the air itself had solidified.
After a brief pause, Yun Qingyu coldly spoke, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
With that, she turned without hesitation, decisively pushing open the palace door and leaving without looking back.
The guarding eunuch watched her departing figure and noticed she was not heading towards the exit of the palace. Though puzzled, he dared not speak up to remind her given Yun Qingyu's icy demeanor.
After leaving Renshou Palace, Yun Qingyu headed straight for the Imperial Physician's courtyard. This was her first visit since her rebirth.
Her arrival stirred up a tempest in the previously tranquil Imperial Physician's courtyard like a stone thrown into still water.
As soon as the Imperial Physicians heard that the Seventh Princess had arrived, their faces changed dramatically, and they scrambled about like ants on a hot pan. They hurriedly set aside their tasks, quickly tidied their attire, and filed out to respectfully await her at the entrance of the Imperial Physician's courtyard.
Yun Qingyu paused slightly, sensing the chaotic thoughts of the Imperial Physicians around her, filled with fear towards her.
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly; the original owner had truly become a formidable figure, living as a mother tiger that instilled dread in everyone.
After a moment of silence, she expressionlessly scanned the anxious Imperial Physicians before her and coldly said, "What are you all standing around for? Get back to your duties; this palace just needs to pick up some medicine and leave."
Her voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority that made the Imperial Physicians even more tense.
The leading Imperial Physician quickly bowed deeply, his body trembling as he stammered, "Your Highness... what medicine do you require? This old minister... will prepare it right away." Sweat beads had already formed on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with terror.
Yun Qingyu slightly reined in her powerful and icy aura but maintained a tone as cold as ice. "Have the Imperial Physicians prepare some medicine for internal and external injuries."
"Please wait a moment, Your Highness; this old minister will prepare it immediately." The Imperial Physician said before hurriedly dispersing with the other physicians.
They busily scurried about in the pharmacy, frantically packing herbs, turning the entire Imperial Physician's courtyard into a scene of chaos. Yun Qingyu watched this flurry of activity with a slight frown, standing silently for a long time without speaking.
Before long, the head Imperial Physician personally approached with several carefully prepared bags of herbs, cautiously handing them to Yun Qingyu while wearing a fawning expression. "Your Highness, instructions on how to brew these herbs have been written down."
Yun Qingyu gave him a faint glance. "This palace knows." With that, she took the herbs and turned to leave.
The crowd in the Imperial Physician's courtyard watched her retreating figure and finally let out a sigh of relief, secretly grateful: "Thank goodness, thank goodness we are still alive."
Soon, the Imperial Physicians in the clinic began to gossip. "The Seventh Princess came personally to fetch medicine. Who is it for? Who has such a privilege?"
"Could it be for the Consort? I heard the Consort was injured. How is she doing now?" one of the Imperial Physicians speculated.
Thus, this Imperial Physician reported the news of the Seventh Princess personally coming to the clinic for medicine to the Empress Dowager.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's previously gloomy expression softened a bit, and she thought to herself, "It seems she does care after all. I hope that's true."
Meanwhile, in another palace, Consort Lu sat down in a chair with a worried expression on her face. Her brows were tightly furrowed as her mind was filled with concern about whether Lu Mingzhan's injuries posed any danger. She hoped that this incident wouldn't hinder their plans.
