Yun Qi and Yun Chen were startled.
Yun Chen had no idea that Yun Jinnian possessed medical skills.
Yun Qi was aware to some extent, but she was so young, carrying a medicine chest into the palace...
Yun Chen didn’t dare hesitate and immediately sent someone to summon Yun Jinnian, then asked Chief Eunuch De to take a seat.
Chief Eunuch De sat down with a smile, drinking tea as he waited for Yun Jinnian.
Having gone to bed late the previous night and spent the entire day reading at the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence, she felt somewhat tired. It was still early, and Yun Jinnian was still asleep.
By the time the butler arrived, the gate to Niannian Garden was still tightly closed. After pondering for a moment, the butler began to knock on the door.
Yaniang was the first to get up and opened the door, looking coldly at the butler.
"Is the Fourth Miss awake?"
Yaniang shook her head.
"Could you please go and call the Fourth Miss? Someone from the palace has come to summon her to enter the palace!"
Yaniang looked at the butler and then nodded slightly.
She turned to find Mrs. Yuan.
Mrs. Yuan was the second to get up after Yaniang because she had to help Yaniang with preparing Yun Jinnian’s meals.
Yaniang pointed to the main gate, and Mrs. Yuan understood that visitors had arrived.
"Yaniang, you carry on with your work, I’ll be right back!"
She was somewhat worried about Yun Jinnian.
Entering the palace was not a good place to be.
But her eyes were also a bit bright with excitement.
When Mrs. Yuan reached the gate, the butler explained the situation, which gave Mrs. Yuan a fright, "You said the Empress summoned the young miss to the palace?"
"Yes, it’s Chief Eunuch De from the Empress’s side!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yuan didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly said, "Wait a moment, I will go wake the young miss!"
Mrs. Yuan entered the bedroom and saw Yun Jinnian sleeping soundly, and felt reluctant to wake her.
But, afraid of causing trouble, she called out gently, "Miss!"
Yun Jinnian woke up groggily, "Nurse?"
"Miss, someone from the palace has come!"
Yun Jinnian was puzzled, "What does someone from the palace want?"
"I don’t know, it’s an Imperial order from the Empress!"
Yun Jinnian, though confused, quickly got up to tidy up. After washing and dressing, she skipped breakfast and went straight to the main hall.
Chief Eunuch De could not help but sigh when he saw Yun Jinnian.
At such a tender age, she was already revealing exceptional grace and beauty; when she grew up, she would undoubtedly possess beauty that could cause the downfall of cities and countries. No wonder Mr. Han had asked for grace beforehand, allowing Yun Jinnian to enter the palace to treat the Emperor.
Even though she was still young, only twelve, in another two or three years at fifteen or sixteen, when her looks fully blossomed...
"I have met the Fourth Miss," Chief Eunuch De said, smiling extremely amiably.
But Yun Jinnian disliked the evaluating gaze in his eyes.
Yet one does not strike at a smiling face.
Yun Jinnian bowed to Chief Eunuch De, "I have met the Eunuch."
Chief Eunuch De hurriedly returned the gesture, "The Fourth Miss is exempt from such formalities, please proceed!"
After bowing to Yun Qi and Yun Chen, Yun Jinnian straightened her back and left the Yun Residence, taking Hemei and Henuan with her onto the carriage.
Although Chief Eunuch De was the chief butler of Weiyang Palace, he did not have the privilege to enter the carriage and could only sit in front of the compartment.
After the carriage set off, Yun Chen finally asked, "Does Jinnian know medical skills?"
As Yun Qi replied, she paused, remembering the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence and the Princess Residence. Every time Yun Jinnian visited, she had the maids carry a medicine chest!
Yun Chen also recalled and asked hesitantly, "Could it be that Jinnian’s medical skills are already extremely remarkable?"
Remarkable enough to alarm the palace? And they even sent Chief Eunuch De to fetch her. That was akin to the Emperor’s Chief Eunuch Hai being the Chief Eunuch!
As Yun Chen thought about this, her body felt weak.
The more well-known Yun Jinnian became, the more others would become curious about her situation and seek to unravel it...
By then, all these would become arrows used by others to attack the Yun Family!
