After the banquet, Liu Ruyan returned to her room, filled with resentment. Looking at herself in the mirror, she gritted her teeth and said,
"Lin Yue, don't get too cocky. I won't let you off so easily."
She decided to plot another conspiracy to completely bring down Lin Yue.
Liu Ruyan started to inquire about Lin Yue's past from all around, trying to find something against her. She spent a large amount of money to bribe an acquaintance of Lin Yue's from the past, and learned a secret about Lin Yue from him. It turned out that in modern times, Lin Yue had participated in a medical research project. However, due to some reasons, the project failed, and Lin Yue was criticized for it.
Upon learning this news, Liu Ruyan secretly felt delighted. She thought this was a great opportunity to bring down Lin Yue. She started to spread rumors in the prince's mansion, saying that Lin Yue was a failed medical researcher, her medical skills were not trustworthy at all, and that she had only been lucky to cure the servants' illnesses before.
These rumors quickly spread throughout the prince's mansion, and some of the servants began to doubt Lin Yue. The respect and trust that used to be in their eyes when they looked at Lin Yue were no longer there. After learning of these rumors, Lin Yue was very sad. She didn't understand why Liu Ruyan just wouldn't let her go.
Lin Yue decided to confront Liu Ruyan face - to - face. She came to Liu Ruyan's residence, looked at her, her eyes full of anger.
"Concubine, why are you spreading rumors again to frame me?"
Liu Ruyan pretended to be innocent.
"Miss Lin, don't talk nonsense. How could I do such a thing?"
Lin Yue took out the evidence.
"Here's the evidence. Do you still want to quibble?"
Liu Ruyan looked at the evidence, her face turning extremely ugly, but she still refused to admit it.
"This is all forged by you. I didn't do it at all."
Lin Yue looked at Liu Ruyan, feeling very disappointed.
"Concubine, I always thought you were just jealous of me, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious. Aren't you afraid that the prince will find out?"
Liu Ruyan snorted.
"Humph, the prince is completely infatuated with you now. How could he believe me? But as long as I can expose your true face, the prince will surely see you for who you are."
Lin Yue knew that arguing with Liu Ruyan was meaningless. She decided to tell Li Yi about this and let him handle it. After hearing this, Li Yi was very angry.
"Liu Ruyan, this is too much. This king must teach her a good lesson."
Lin Yue stopped him.
"Your Highness, I don't think we can solve the problem just by punishment. We need to find a way to let everyone truly understand my medical skills and leave Liu Ruyan with nothing to say."
Li Yi looked at Lin Yue, deeply admiring her magnanimity and wisdom.
"Miss Lin, what do you think we should do?"
Lin Yue pondered for a moment.
"Your Highness, we can hold a medical free clinic and let me showcase my medical skills in front of everyone. Then the rumors will naturally be dispelled."
Li Yi nodded slightly.
"What Miss Lin said is quite right. Let's do as you suggest."
So, Li Yi ordered to hold a medical free clinic in the prince's mansion, inviting all the servants in the mansion and the surrounding common people. During the free clinic, Lin Yue demonstrated her superb medical skills and successfully cured many difficult and complicated diseases. The servants and the common people highly praised her medical skills, and the rumors were dispelled in the face of the facts.
Liu Ruyan watched as Lin Yue stole the show during the free clinic, feeling both angry and anxious. She knew that her conspiracy had failed again. But she didn't give up. She secretly swore that she would find an opportunity to take revenge on Lin Yue again. As for Lin Yue, in the midst of this turmoil, she became even more determined to spread modern medicine in the prince's mansion. She knew that there were more challenges waiting for her in the future. She decided to strengthen her self - protection and at the same time accelerate the progress of her medical research to make herself stronger and not be easily calculated by others.
