The Truth Gradually Emerges and the Conflicts Escalate

 Lin Yue obtained Xiaocui's confession, which gave her confidence. She decided to find Li Yi and inform him of this matter. Upon learning of it, Li Yi was extremely furious. "Liu Ruyan, how dare she be so presumptuous! I will definitely teach her a good lesson." However, Lin Yue stopped him. "Your Highness, we need to consider this matter carefully. If we punish the side concubine rashly, it may cause other troubles." Li Yi looked at Lin Yue, his eyes full of admiration. "You really are meticulous. Then, in your opinion, what should we do?" Lin Yue pondered for a moment. "We can hold this matter down for now and secretly gather more evidence against Liu Ruyan. Then we can settle the score with her all at once. This way, we can avoid unnecessary troubles and make her completely convinced." Li Yi nodded. "As you say." After learning that Xiaocui had been caught by Lin Yue, Liu Ruyan was both angry and anxious. She knew that she had shot herself in the foot this time. She secretly swore that she would find an opportunity to take revenge on Lin Yue again. In an attempt to salvage the situation, Liu Ruyan started spreading rumors in the prince's mansion, saying that Lin Yue had deliberately approached Li Yi to seek the prince's mansion's property, and that her medical skills were sorcery used to bewitch people. These rumors spread rapidly in the prince's mansion, and the servants looked at Lin Yue with eyes full of suspicion and fear. Lin Yue noticed the change in the atmosphere in the prince's mansion, but she didn't panic. She understood that this was another counter - attack by Liu Ruyan. She decided to take the initiative and reveal the truth to the world. Lin Yue found those people she had treated before and asked them to testify for her. At the same time, she also proposed to Li Yi to hold a free medical clinic so that the people in the prince's mansion could see her medical skills with their own eyes and know that they were not sorcery. Li Yi agreed to Lin Yue's proposal. He ordered to set up a free medical clinic in the prince's mansion, allowing Lin Yue to diagnose and treat those in need. After the news spread, many people came for treatment. With her excellent medical skills, Lin Yue quickly cured some people's ailments. Those who had originally believed the rumors gradually dispelled their doubts when they saw how miraculous Lin Yue's medical skills were. However, Liu Ruyan didn't plan to give up. She secretly instructed her subordinates to cause trouble during Lin Yue's free medical clinic, trying to damage Lin Yue's reputation. Just as Lin Yue was diagnosing and treating a patient, suddenly a person rushed out, shouting that Lin Yue was a witch and that her medicine would harm people. The scene immediately became chaotic, and Lin Yue was in a difficult situation. Just then, Li Yi arrived in time. He looked at the trouble - maker and said coldly, "Who gave you the courage to cause trouble in my prince's mansion?" The trouble - maker was intimidated by Li Yi's imposing manner and dared not speak. Li Yi ordered to arrest the trouble - maker and interrogate him severely. After interrogation, the trouble - maker finally admitted that he had been instructed by Liu Ruyan. After learning the truth, Li Yi became even more furious. He decided not to tolerate Liu Ruyan any longer and to expose her crimes completely. And Lin Yue also knew that this struggle with Liu Ruyan had reached a critical moment. She had to go all out to gain a firm foothold in the prince's mansion and at the same time look for clues to return to modern times.
