His Majesty merely mentioned the matter, but Jiang Zhangyang immediately rejected it, unwilling to involve the innocent Mudan. Back then, if Jiang Zhangyang hadn’t insisted on taking His Majesty to Mengzhou, Princess Shouchang wouldn’t have met her tragic end. In their childhood, Princess Shouchang treated Jiang Zhangyang like a younger brother, but in the end, Jiang Zhangyang couldn’t even protect his own loved ones.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chun examined the pulses of the women at "Huan Yun Lou" and bluntly spoke about their health issues. Mudan quickly smoothed things over, suggesting that they could develop some restorative pills and tonics to nourish the body. The awkward atmosphere finally eased. Mudan decided to prioritize opening a clinic, which would also provide a convenient way for Xiao Chun to treat women. However, this would increase the risk of Xiao Chun being exposed.

Xiao Chun assured her that her father, Lv Wanrong, was preoccupied with a new project and unlikely to pay much attention to her. As they were leaving *Huan Yun Lou*, they encountered four men dressed as scholars. Mudan noticed their agility and sharp movements, which didn’t align with their scholarly guise. She also noticed that the scrolls on their backs looked unusually heavy. Growing cautious, Mudan went to alert Yun Niang. Yun Niang immediately sent someone to notify Jiang Zhangyang.

Jiang Zhangyang, hearing the sudden urgency in the music, realized that uninvited guests had arrived. He instructed His Majesty to escape through the secret passage while he stayed behind to stall the "guests," ensuring they wouldn’t discover the passage. The four “scholars” turned out to be assassins sent to kill Jiang Zhangyang. One of them, quite young, harbored deep hatred for Jiang Zhangyang, accusing him of colluding with King Ning and enabling the Emperor’s indulgence.

Jiang Zhangyang, understanding that these were righteous men, did not make things difficult for them. Instead, he had them taken in to be treated for their injuries and cared for properly. Outside the door, Mudan clutched a ladle and cowered, seemingly preparing to knock out the assassins if the situation became dire. Unfortunately, Yun Niang was wounded by one of the assassin’s poisoned blades. Recognizing the poison, Mudan immediately instructed someone to gather the necessary medicinal herbs.

Thanks to the timely treatment and wound cleaning, the poison hadn’t spread to Yun Niang’s internal organs. When Imperial Physician Fu arrived to check her pulse, he confirmed that following his prescription would lead to a full recovery within half a month. To thank Mudan for her timely warning, His Majesty, disguised as San Lang, sent her a gift. Jiang Zhangyang also prepared some fine wine as a gift, though he felt too embarrassed to admit it was from him.

San Lang, who harbored unrequited love for someone, sought Mudan’s advice on how to win her favor. Mudan not only gave him suggestions but also teased Jiang Zhangyang, who was clearly eavesdropping. From an outsider’s perspective, His Majesty noticed that Jiang Zhangyang and Mudan interacted like a married couple, with their banter resembling playful flirting. Thinking of himself and Consort Shu, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of bitterness.

Meanwhile, the County Princess, jealous of Liu Chang constantly sending Qiu Shi to check on He Weifang, ordered people to bring Mudan over under the pretense of having He Weifang promote grooming products to the noblewomen. When Mudan arrived, the County Princess deliberately made things difficult for her. Li Youzhen even tried to ride a horse straight at He Weifang, but the horses seemed frightened and refused to move.

Frustrated, Li Youzhen stabbed a horse with her hairpin, causing it to go wild. In the chaos, she was thrown off and trampled by the horse, which stomped on her abdomen before rearing up to strike again. Consort Shu arrived just in time and threw a spear to kill the horse, saving Li Youzhen. The noblewomen demanded Mudan’s imprisonment, but Consort Shu defended her, insisting that an innocent person shouldn’t suffer unjustly.

From that moment on, Mudan and the brave Consort Shu became friends. Mudan agreed to visit the palace each month to share amusing stories from outside. Noticing that Consort Shu disliked the bitter taste of her medicine, Mudan offered to use her knowledge of pharmacology to help improve the flavor.

The County Princess, now unable to bear children due to the injury inflicted by the horse, faced the wrath of King Ning, who stormed into Jiang Zhangyang’s residence to demand Mudan’s capture. Jiang Zhangyang came up with an excuse to prevent King Ning from taking Mudan. However, King Ning countered by suggesting that Jiang Zhangyang simply marry another beautiful and gentle woman instead.
