Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 177: Lack of Medicine Man

Yun Shanhu had heard the servants talk about how no matter how busy His Royal Highness Prince Yi was, he would remember to come back and have dinner with Yun Fuling and her son.

That's why she calculated the time and searched according to the layout of the mansion in her memory, hoping to block Xiao Jingyi on the way to the main courtyard.

Who would have thought that along the way, there was no sign of Xiao Jingyi.

Yun Shanhu couldn't help feeling a little restless.

Yun Fuling had already told her to leave Prince Yi's Mansion. As soon as she left the yard, a little maid followed her closely. If she couldn't meet Xiao Jingyi by chance today and attract his attention, it would be even more difficult for her to get close to him in the future.

Yun Shanhu was praying to God secretly when she suddenly heard a voice.

As soon as she heard it, she recognized the voice as Xiao Jingyi.

Yun Shanhu couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that God was indeed blessing her.

Yun Shanhu immediately turned around and walked towards the direction where the sound came from.

The little maid also realized something was wrong at this time, her face changed immediately, and she wanted to reach out to stop Yun Shanhu.

However, Yun Shanhu moved too quickly. Before she could stop the person, Yun Shanhu had already taken two steps at a time, quickly left the path and walked to the fork in the road.

It just so happened that Xiao Jingyi also came to a fork in the road at this time.

Yun Shanhu showed just the right amount of surprise on her face, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Yi!"

But somehow, she tripped while performing the salute, and she stumbled and fell into Xiao Jingyi's arms halfway through the salute.

The little maid who caught up happened to see this scene, and her face was filled with despair, as if she was about to be doomed.

In the main courtyard of Prince Yi's mansion, Yun Fuling heard the servants' report and learned that Yun Shanhu was wandering around the mansion and did not come to the main courtyard. She could not help but sneer, "Could she have lost her way in the mansion?"

"That's right. The palace is so big, it's not easy to find my main courtyard."

Yun Fuling stood up and said, "Let's go. Since she wants to say goodbye to me, I will definitely meet her."

"If she gets lost and can't find my main courtyard, then it's the same if I go to see her."

Having said that, Yun Fuling raised her foot and walked out.

Yun Shanhu's every move is under the surveillance of people arranged by Yun Fuling, so the people who monitor her will report to Yun Fuling at any time no matter where she is now.

When Yun Fuling rushed over, she happened to see Yun Shanhu falling into Xiao Jingyi's arms.

Yun Fuling's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Xiao Jingyi suddenly dodged to the side, and Yun Shanhu missed her and fell to the ground.

There were countless women who wanted to throw themselves into Xiao Jingyi's arms, but Xiao Jingyi saw through Yun Shanhu's little thoughts and poor acting skills at a glance.

Just as he was about to explode, he saw Yun Fuling standing not far away.

Xiao Jingyi didn't know how much Yun Fuling had seen. He was afraid that Yun Fuling had misunderstood something, so he quickly stepped forward to explain, "She took the initiative. She didn't even touch the corner of my clothes."

Yun Fuling saw everything Xiao Jingyi did just now, so she naturally knew that what he said was true.

It was not until this time that Yun Fuling understood what Yun Shanhu was planning.

No wonder she was reluctant to leave Prince Yi's Mansion. Now she was the one being poached.

Yun Fuling's heart was filled with anger, but her smile was exceptionally warm.

"Yun Shanhu, didn't you say you wanted to say goodbye to me? I have been waiting for you in the main courtyard. Why haven't you come for so long? Is it possible that Prince Yi's Mansion is too big and you got lost?"

Yun Shanhu's plan failed and was seen by Yun Fuling. She was very nervous for a moment and worried about what to do.

After hearing Yun Fuling's words, she suddenly understood something and nodded quickly, saying, "Yes, the palace is too big, I accidentally got lost and happened to meet the prince..."

Without waiting for her to finish her words, Yun Fuling turned around and looked at the little maid who followed Yun Shanhu.

The maid was smart and said immediately, "Princess, I have been following Miss Shanhu and reminded her several times of the direction of the main courtyard, but she turned a deaf ear to me and said that she wanted to take a walk around the palace before leaving. She won't have the chance to do so again."

"Just now, I heard the prince's voice and wanted to avoid him. But when Miss Shanhu heard the prince's voice, she not only did not avoid him, but also went straight towards him."

"I wanted to stop her, but Miss Shanhu moved too fast and I was unable to stop her."

The implication of his words was that Yun Shanhu was deliberately planning what happened today.

Yun Shanhu's face turned red instantly, and it was unclear whether she was angry or ashamed because the truth was revealed.

She immediately pointed at the little maid and said, "You...you are talking nonsense."

The little maid knelt down, kowtowed, and swore to the heavens, "My Lord and Princess, everything I said is true. If there is one thing that is not true, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

People of this era were quite awed by the notion of ghosts and gods. The fact that the little maid dared to make such an oath was enough to prove that what she said was true.

Yun Fuling snatched the whip from Xiao Jingyi and whipped Yun Shanhu in the face.

A bright red whip mark suddenly appeared on Yun Shanhu's face.

Yun Shanhu covered her face and widened her eyes in disbelief, "It hurts, my face... my face..."

Yun Fuling squatted down, lifted Yun Shanhu's chin with the whip, looked directly at her and said:

"Are you targeting my people?"

"Is my man Yun Fuling also something you can desire?"

"Let me guess what your dream is. Do you want to seduce Xiao Jingyi and become his concubine? Or do you want to replace me and become the mistress of Prince Yi's mansion?"

Yun Shanhu didn't expect that Yun Fuling could guess her thoughts, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Yun Fuling sneered, "Do you think that just because you have a good face, you can use your beauty to seduce my man and plot against me?"

"I originally let you leave the house to give you a way to survive."

"But you didn't take the road to heaven, and chose to seek your own death."

"If that's the case, then you can't blame me!"

Yun Fuling stood up and said, "Yaoguang, send her to the manor on Fuli Mountain."

"I'm currently researching a new medicine, and I'm in need of a pharmacist to test it for me."

"Give orders to keep a close watch on him. If anyone dares to let my medicine man escape, he will be held responsible!"

Yun Fuling originally wanted to let Yun Shanhu fend for herself, but what she did today really angered Yun Fuling.

Locking her up in the medicine garden, making her a medicine man, and testing new drugs on herself can be considered her contribution to the medical profession.

Yun Shanhu grew up in the Yun family, and Yun Gansong also had many medicine men under him, so she naturally knew what medicine men did.

She shook her head repeatedly and took a few steps back, "No, I don't want to be a medicine man!"

"Yun Fuling, you can't do this to me!"

"let me go……"

No matter how Yun Shanhu struggled, she couldn't break free from Yaoguang's grip, and in the end she was gagged and dragged away.
