“This kind of illness can’t be cured even thousands of years later,” Liu Mingxin said with certainty.
She had heard quite a few rumors about Jiangnan. As a doctor, she naturally looked down on people like Ye Bozhong.
Now, hearing the old princess consort say this, she knew the Ye family was clearly just a bunch of frauds and amateurs.
Heart disease, even in the modern era with advanced science, was an extremely complicated condition. How could Liu Mingxin not know that?
In this ancient world where medical skills were extremely backward, someone had actually dared to shamelessly claim they could cure it?
As someone who had studied medicine for ten years, Liu Mingxin thought the Ye family were just a pack of swindlers. She had not the slightest bit of goodwill toward quacks who ruined other people’s lives. The ancients’ perspective was just too narrow. They had no idea how big the outside world was.
And even less did they know that thousands of years later, quacks like that had all been eliminated.
A quack like that had actually once been the imperial skilled physician. It was enough to make a person die laughing.
In Liu Mingxin’s eyes, she could not even be bothered to pay attention to the Ye family. The Ye family did not even deserve to be her competitor.
“Thousands of years later?” The old princess consort had never thought that far ahead. And seeing Liu Mingxin’s utterly certain expression made her feel that Liu Mingxin was even more unfathomable.
Liu Mingxin gave a mysterious smile. “That’s right. But I never expected that the so-called imperial skilled physician had only this much ability.”
As she spoke, she even shook her head and sighed, as if resentful that he would not strive harder.
These past days, the old princess consort had been treated by Liu Mingxin. The other woman did not prick her with needles, only occasionally gave her pills. After taking them, her condition naturally eased somewhat.
Now there was also this heart-saving pill. Just hearing about it made it sound like something extraordinary.
The old princess consort felt even more reverence toward Liu Mingxin.
After Liu Mingxin finished the diagnosis and treatment, she had the young girl beside her carry the medicine box and leave the prince’s residence.
“Mingxin, have you noticed? Linlin looks a lot like Prince Rui,” said the young girl beside Liu Mingxin. She had originally been the maid Liu Mingxin had taken in, Jiu’er.
But Liu Mingxin never let Jiu’er call her young miss. She said everyone was equal, and no one was born inferior to anyone else. This moved Jiu’er deeply, and on top of that, Liu Mingxin kept preaching these ideas.
She was of noble status, yet treated ordinary people and powerful nobles in the city exactly the same.
Everyone had been influenced by her worldview and found balance at Huichun Hall.
Hearing Jiu’er’s words, Liu Mingxin was slightly dazed.
Naturally, she thought of Sima Mingyu. Her fingers moved slightly, and her gaze became a little distant.
Come to think of it, Liu Lin’s peach-blossom eyes were exactly like Sima Mingyu’s, and his facial features were quite similar to Sima Mingyu’s as well.
Thinking of this, Liu Mingxin could not help but wonder—it couldn’t be such a coincidence, could it?
When she had first transmigrated into this book, she discovered she had been drugged with an aphrodisiac. Coincidentally, not far away, there was a man who had been gravely injured.
Liu Mingxin was a modern person. Her way of thinking was nowhere near as rigid as the ancients’.
One-night stands were everywhere in modern times.
She had checked the gravely injured man. He was even better looking than modern celebrities, so she felt she was not at a disadvantage, and she forced herself on him.
The body she had transmigrated into was still a virgin. Although that man was young, in ancient times men already had wives and concubines by fifteen. If anything, Liu Mingxin felt she was the one being taken advantage of, so she left without any psychological burden at all.
Unexpectedly, after leaving, there was suddenly a baby in her belly.
And then it turned into the current situation. These past few years she had kept a low profile, and had never heard of any big shot looking to take revenge on her.
But now she had actually run into Sima Mingxuan himself…
Although there was no paternity testing in ancient times, Liu Lin looked too much like Sima Mingxuan…
So Liu Mingxin felt a tiny bit embarrassed. But she was not too afraid either. Everyone was an adult, and relatively speaking, she was the one who had suffered a loss. She had not even demanded that the man take responsibility. The other party should be secretly laughing.
Still, it was better to hide Liu Lin and not let anyone from Prince Duan’s residence see him.
She had only just left the Liu family when Sima Mingxuan returned.
“How is Shaohua doing?” The old princess consort saw Sima Mingxuan and asked.
“Her spirits aren’t great, but she seems all right,” Sima Mingxuan replied.
“Sigh, what a sin…” The old princess consort rubbed her prayer beads, her gaze a little indifferent.
Previously, she and the old prince had been very optimistic about Ye Shaohua. But saying they were optimistic about Ye Shaohua was really saying they were optimistic about Ye Bozhong’s relationship with the imperial court.
As far as she knew, Ye Bozhong had always treated the empress dowager and had a very good relationship with her. Because of that, Ye Shaohua had also entered the palace several times. The empress dowager was extremely fond of Ye Shaohua. Although Ye Shaohua was only a little over ten years old, she enjoyed countless favors, surpassing even several princesses in the palace.
Prince Rui’s residence had been exiled to Jiangnan. The old princess consort wanted to return to the capital and go back to the glorious life she once had there.
She had originally thought that if her grandson married Ye Shaohua, then because of Ye Shaohua, the empress dowager would look more favorably upon Prince Rui’s residence and persuade the emperor to issue an edict allowing them to return to the capital.
Although Ye Shaohua later returned to Jiangnan, at that time she was still very sought after. Unfortunately…

Ye Shaohua opened the window and took a letter from the white pigeon that landed in her hand.
Dongxue looked over curiously. Ye Shaohua did not avoid her and let her look.
There was only one sentence and one signature on it.
Dongxue could not understand that complicated sentence, but she did see the signature—
Carefree Pavilion.
A force that everyone in both the martial world and the imperial court wanted to win over.
Liu Lin?
Ye Shaohua looked at the information she had received with a half-smile. So there were this many people who had toyed the original owner to death.
Liu Mingxin’s genius son. At only five years old, his martial arts had already reached the perfection realm. His life was like something with cheats enabled. Like Liu Mingxin and Sima Mingxuan, he was a genius-level figure. A person like that, toward an orphan girl like the original owner… was simply contemptuous!
