When Yu Yunxi came to the front yard, she thought of something and asked, “How’s Feng Zixiu?”

Qian Jiao quickly replied, “Princess Consort, Qian Mei spent the entire night brewing medicine for him. He vomited after drinking it so he had to drink it again. His health has improved a little, but Qian Mei is exhausted.”

“Let Qian Mei rest then. If Feng Zixiu needs anything, just find someone from the Revival Hall,” Yu Yunxi said calmly.

“Yes, Princess Consort,” Qian Jiao said with a nod.

At this time, Yu Yunxi’s people had already begun to change the way they addressed her. They were trying to get used to addressing her as Princess Consort, Princess Regent, and even Your Royal Highness.

“By the way, Princess Consort, do you want to see how Feng Zixiu is doing? I heard from the maids in their courtyard that he cried all night last night,” Qian Jiao said, reporting what she had learned.

“That’s not necessary,” Yu Yunxi said, shaking her head.

Feng Zixiu had lost his status as the heir of the Prince Regent’s Residence. He naturally resented Yu Yunxi and Yu Junjin. It was better that she did not appear in front of him.

“Yes, Princess Consort.”

“After all, Shixuan’s medical skills are not bad. It won’t be a problem for her to treat her son,” Yu Yunxi said.

“You’re right. Qian Mei said that the prescription for the medicine was written by Miss Gao.”

Yu Yunxi nodded. With this, she could be at ease.

Qian Jiao frowned and muttered, “However, it’s really strange. In terms of medicine, Qian Qing is the best among the three of us. Moreover, she was free last night. However, Miss Gao actually chose to ask Qian Mei for help.”

Yu Yunxi’s expression changed imperceptibly when she heard this. However, she said, “Qian Qing is more blunt with her words. Perhaps Shixuan was worried that Zixiu would be stimulated by Qian Qing’s words so she asked Qian Mei for help instead.”

“You’re right.” Qian Jiao nodded.

“Alright, look for Qian Qing. We’ll open the Revival Hall in two days, ” Yu Yunxi said.

Upon returning to the capital, Yu Yunxi saw many people waiting outside the Revival Hall. They were all poor people afflicted with illnesses. Although she was angered by the actions of some of them, many of them were kind people. Now that such a long time had passed, her anger also had been quelled. It was time for the door of the medical hall to be opened.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”

When news of the reopening of the Revival Hall spread, almost half of the citizens in the capital rushed to spread the news. Many people went to wait at the door immediately.

During the days the Revival Hall was closed, they finally understood that there was no better medical hall in the capital than the Revival Hall. Even the Wei Medical Hall could not compare to it.

Just as Yu Yunxi was about to leave, Gao Shixuan appeared and asked, “Yunxi, I heard that you’re going to the Revival Hall to treat the commoners. Do you need my help?”

Yu Yunxi said, “If you’re willing, then yes. After all, the Revival Hall is very busy, and we’re in need of people now. But Feng Zixiu…”

Upon hearing this, Gao Shixuan quickly shook her head and said humbly, “Previously, Master let Zixiu fool around and use the surname ‘Feng’. This is the surname of the imperial family of Tianxia so we can’t mess around with it.

As such, I’ve already changed his name to Gao Zixiu.”

As it turned out, Gao Shixuan also let her son take her surname.

Yu Yunxi nodded in response.

Gao Shixuan continued to say, “There’s no need for me to accompany Zixiu for now. He’s a little resentful of me now so it’s not suitable for me to stay with him now. I should find other things to do for the time being.”

Gao Shixuan looked extremely lonely as she spoke.

Yu Yunxi sighed softly and said, “Alright then. Follow me to the Revival Hall. As for Zixiu, I’ll see if I can enlighten him another day…”

“Thank you.”

Gao Shixuan nodded gratefully before she took the initiative to walk over and hold Yu Yunxi’s arm. Then, she recalled something and said hesitantly, “By the way, Zixiu has yet to recover from his cold. He still has to take medicine. The maidservants in my courtyard don’t know medicine. I heard that Qian Mei used to help you brew medicine so…”

Yu Yunxi chuckled and said, “You want Qian Mei to help you? It’s fine. Qian Mei has been with me for many years. Although she still can’t distinguish many herbs, as long as you give her clear instructions, she won’t make any mistakes.”

“Thank you. Then, I’ll ask Qian Mei to help me brew medicine for Zixiu today,” Gao Shixuan said gratefully.

When the door of the Revival Hall was opened, many commoners wanted to rush in immediately.

However, Qian Jiao reminded them not to rush. She warned that if they did not follow the rules, they would not be allowed to enter the Revival Hall. Everyone was frightened by this, and they quickly queued up in an orderly manner.

There were too many patients in the capital.

From morning to night, Yu Yunxi worked tirelessly. She barely had time to drink water. Only when the streets were silent did they send the last patient away.

Yu Yunxi looked at Gao Shixuan and said with a helpless shrug, “Today is only the first day. It’s only going to get busier and more tiring. Thanks for your hard work.”

“What are you saying? When Master taught me medicine in the past, he often told me that a doctor should help people. At that time, I didn’t understand. However, when I saw the grateful expressions of the people today, I finally understood,” Gao Shixuan said as she shook her head and sighed.

“Let’s go back.”

“Okay.”

In the following days, Yu Yunxi and Gao Shixuan were busy at the medical hall.

During this time, there were two topics that people were fervently discussing.

One was that Nan Xun, the Crown Prince of Nanyue, wanted to marry the Fourth Princess. However, the Fourth Princess rejected the marriage proposal. She even used her life to refuse the marriage, but alas, she could not change the Emperor’s mind.

The second matter that everyone was discussing was the brilliant medical skills of the Princess Regent and the Revival Hall. Everyone could go there to get treated.

After a few days, Yu Yunxi finally had time to rest. When she returned from the Revival Hall, she was surprised to see Xu Zhiyan waiting for her at the entrance of the residence. As soon as she got off the carriage, she asked, “Why are you here?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyan feigned a sad expression on his face and asked, “Why? Does the Princess Regent not welcome me?”

“Don’t say that? Based on our friendship, how could I not welcome you? Also, don’t call me Princess Regent; Yunxi is fine. You’re too polite,” Yu Yunxi said with a smile.

Xu Zhiyan smiled and shook his head. “It’s fine to call you Yunxi in private, but it’s absolutely impossible to do it in front of others. Ever since news of the Prince Regent moving out from his residence spread, you and Junjin have become famous in the capital.”

As he spoke, Xu Zhiyan raised his head to look at the plaque above the entrance. The two words ‘Yu Residence’ were very conspicuous.

Yu Yunxi’s expression was a little awkward when she noticed Xu Zhiyan’s gaze.

It was a little inappropriate to have two Prince Regent’s Residences in the capital after all. Hence, Yu Yunxi initially suggested they named the residence the Feng Residence. However, unexpectedly, Feng Yili turned the residence into the second Yu Residence in the capital. He even said the residence was initially bought for her and Yu Junjin so there was nothing wrong with naming it the Yu Residence.

Although Feng Yili’s reasoning was not wrong, to outsiders, it seemed as though he, the dignified Prince Regent, had married into his wife’s family.

Seeing the helpless expression on Yu Yunxi’s face, Xu Zhiyan laughed. He said, “I don’t mean anything by it. I’m a scholar, after all. I just think that the two words were written in a very unique and interesting style.”

“They were written by Junjin, ” Yu Yunxi explained with a smile.

After all, the little bun did not sleep and spent the entire night practicing calligraphy. As such, Yu Yunxi could not bear to replace the plaque.

Xu Zhiyan’s eyes lit up, and he said, “As it turns out, they were written by Junjin!”

Yu Yunxi smiled and said, “Come in. Don’t tell me you plan to stand at the entrance and chat with me?”

“Alright, alright. Let’s go..”
