The Transformation of the Attitudes of People in the Prince's Mansion

With Afu's gradual recovery, the attitudes of everyone in the prince's mansion towards Lin Yue underwent a dramatic change. The servants who had previously been suspicious of her now bowed respectfully when they saw her.

"Good day, Miss Lin."

Lin Yue would respond with a smile every time.

Doctor Li, the mansion doctor, also had to admit Lin Yue's medical skills. He found Lin Yue and bowed slightly.

"Miss Lin, I was rude to you before. Your medical skills are truly outstanding. I admire you."

Lin Yue quickly helped Doctor Li up.

"Doctor Li, you're too kind. Your medical skills are superb. I hope you can give me more guidance in the future."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the previous conflict vanished.

Even some of the concubines and ladies in the prince's mansion began to look at Lin Yue in a different light. One day, Liu Ruyan, Li Yi's concubine, dressed in a magnificent costume and accompanied by a group of maids, came to Lin Yue's residence. Liu Ruyan had a smile on her face.

"Miss Lin, I heard that your medical skills are extraordinary and you cured Afu's illness. You're really amazing."

Lin Yue slightly curtsied.

"Concubine, you overpraise me. This is the collective effort of everyone."

Liu Ruyan looked at Lin Yue, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

"Miss Lin, if you need anything in the future, don't hesitate to ask."

Lin Yue understood that Liu Ruyan was trying to show goodwill. She replied with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, Concubine. If there's a need, I will not hesitate to trouble you."

However, Liu Ruyan's show of goodwill was not sincere. She was filled with jealousy and resentment towards Lin Yue. She was jealous that Lin Yue had won Li Yi's trust and favor, and resented that Lin Yue had stolen the limelight in the prince's mansion. On the surface, she pretended to be friendly with Lin Yue, but in fact, she was secretly plotting how to frame her.

Liu Ruyan started spreading rumors in the prince's mansion, saying that there was an improper relationship between Lin Yue and Li Yi. She deliberately said in front of some servants,

"Look how well the prince treats Miss Lin. He built a research room for her and stands up for her. Maybe there's some hidden secret between them."

These rumors quickly spread throughout the prince's mansion, and some servants who didn't know the truth began to point fingers at Lin Yue.

After learning about these rumors, Lin Yue was extremely angry. She found Liu Ruyan and questioned her.

"Concubine, why are you spreading these rumors in the prince's mansion? My relationship with the prince is pure and innocent. What's your intention?"

Liu Ruyan pretended to be innocent.

"Miss Lin, don't talk nonsense. I'm just telling the truth. Everyone has seen the special attention the prince gives you, so it's inevitable that there will be some speculation."

Lin Yue looked at Liu Ruyan's hypocritical appearance and said coldly.

"Concubine, if you continue like this, I will definitely tell the prince about this."

Liu Ruyan was a bit scared, but she still pretended to be calm.

"Humph, go ahead and tell the prince. I haven't done anything wrong."

Lin Yue knew that arguing with Liu Ruyan was meaningless, so she decided to tell Li Yi about this. After hearing this, Li Yi was very angry.

"Liu Ruyan, this is too much. I will definitely look into this matter thoroughly and clear your name."

Li Yi immediately sent people to investigate and soon found evidence of Liu Ruyan spreading rumors. He summoned Liu Ruyan and severely reprimanded her.

"Liu Ruyan, as a concubine in the prince's mansion, instead of contributing to the mansion, you're spreading rumors and framing others. I will punish you severely today."

Liu Ruyan was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Spare me, Your Highness. I was muddle - headed for a moment. I will never do it again."

Li Yi looked at Liu Ruyan, deeply disappointed.

"Considering this is your first offense, I'll spare you this time. But remember, if there's a next time, I will not be lenient."

Liu Ruyan quickly nodded.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for sparing my life. I will definitely turn over a new leaf."

After this incident, Liu Ruyan seemed to be more restrained on the surface, but the resentment in her heart towards Lin Yue grew deeper. She secretly swore that she would find another opportunity to take revenge on Lin Yue.

And after experiencing this incident, Lin Yue also realized the complexity of people's hearts in the prince's mansion. She knew that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the mansion, she not only needed excellent medical skills but also had to learn how to deal with all kinds of open and hidden struggles. She decided to work even harder to improve her medical skills and at the same time started learning how to protect herself in the complex interpersonal relationships.
