Lifting the curtain, she saw Fuyi practically hanging on the white-bearded royal physician, frightening him to the point of nearly collapsing.
“Fuyi,” Ning Wanwan called sternly.
Fuyi turned, her face looking relieved. She released the physician’s hand, smiled apologetically, and limped towards Ning Wanwan, “Miss?”
Fuyi’s eyes inquired if she had found what she needed.
Ning Wanwan imperceptibly nodded, feigning anger: “I told you to go pick herbs. What are you dawdling about?”
Fuyi pouted, “I walked too quickly and accidentally sprained my ankle, and bumped into that sir.”
The elderly physician, recognizing Ning Wanwan, quickly cupped his hands, “This official greets the Princess.”
Ning Wanwan regarded the physician calmly, “My servant is unrefined. I hope you can be tolerant.”
“Not at all,” the physician replied, though his eyes showed suspicion.
The Imperial Pharmacy was a crucial place, especially the royal physician’s office, which was strictly off-limits.
Ning Wanwan stopped engaging and coldly looked at Fuyi. “Fuyi, why are you standing there? Quickly prepare the medicine according to Xu’s prescription.”
“Yes,” Fuyi understood and went to prepare the medicine.
Hearing she was there for Xu’s consultation, the physician’s suspicions dissipated and he respectfully saw her off.
Before walking far from the Imperial Pharmacy, Ning Wanwan suddenly leaned against the wall, slowly sliding down.
Fuyi quickly embraced her, panicking. “Miss, what’s wrong?”
Ning Wanwan, having forced herself to stay upright until obtaining the records, felt all her defenses collapse. Her body shivered, alternating between hot and cold. With reddened eyes, she grabbed Fuyi’s collar and pulled her close, breathing weakly. “Today’s events must not be told to anyone, including my grandmother.”
Fuyi cried, “Yes, I understand.”
Ning Wanwan smiled contentedly, then fainted.

“What happened to the Fifteenth Imperial Uncle?” the Fourth Prince asked in confusion.
Si Yi raised his eyes, looking at Si Zhan’s hurried back, slightly furrowing his eyebrows.
The Third Prince said, “Don’t mind him, he’s just a weirdo. Quickly tell me, what happened to Yun Xiang Junzhu?”
“Reportedly, the imperial physicians personally sent her back to the Ning Guo Gong Fu, and it seems she is still in a coma.”
