The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1331 - 1411: Made the Connection
For years, Yun Ge had not returned to the Capital, first because of her sensitive identity, and second, because of her immense resentment.
One must understand that person was her cherished darling, and back then, to test the poison for the Ninth Princess, the dignified Marshal was used as a Gu Slave, oppressed and humiliated by the Dajin Gu Woman.
Even if all this was because the Marshal’s loyalty was clear as day, and it was to protect the master they were loyal to, Yun Ge’s heart still couldn’t accept it.
She was close to the Marshal, and the Ninth Princess too had a deep personal connection with the Marshal. Moreover, the three of them had once been kidnapped by human traffickers together, which made them bound by life and death.
Some say, a friend’s friend is one’s own friend, but not so for Yun Ge.
Between her and the Ninth Princess stood the Marshal, and her whole life was destined to be restless.
Even before, at most, the two would put on a peaceful front in front of the Marshal, but once out of his sight, they’d fight like two sparring roosters.
In short, Yun Ge harbored resentment because of the Marshal being poisoned, spending the early years searching for the Marshal without returning to the Capital, and in the later years, she lived a peaceful life, leaving all matters of the Capital behind.
Until Fifth Young Master of the Liang Family mentioned that the Marshal might have come to the Capital.
Only then did Yun Ge have the thought of returning to the Capital to take a look, and she was the most appropriate person for the task, knowing the Capital more than anyone, but she had to be careful not to alert the enemy. Otherwise, just the Grand Elder Yun Zhe from Medicine Valley would be enough for her to deal with.
Dong Huiying came to the Capital from Dongdi, the fatigue of the journey was secondary, her main issue was her ailment, causing her to sleep occasionally, each sleep lasting many days, delaying her journey.
When she arrived at the Capital, she had no idea that Yun Ge had already come to join forces, having heard of the Marshal’s disappearance, with Hong Fei and other trusted aides of the Marshal’s faction, more than a month earlier.
Not only that, Yun Ge had also connected with Prince Meng, who feigned ignorance to lull the Eighth Princess.
"Baowei has resurfaced."
In public, Yun Ge no longer used the nickname Purple Chervil, knowing that the name Marshal Baowei resonated far louder than Purple Chervil.
When Prince Meng secretly met Yun Ge and learned this news from her, she was truly surprised.
Prince Meng, being in the Capital, was like a clay bodhisattva crossing a river, unable to protect herself. She had to constantly guard against the Eighth Princess and Elder Yun Zhe’s sides.
Yun Ge narrated the events of recent years vividly, and it was due to Dong Huiying’s incomplete memory that her recollections related to the Capital were scarce, otherwise she wouldn’t have gone through such trouble originally.
This Prince Meng and the late Fifth Imperial Princess were siblings, and like the common people, Yuan Palace followed a polyandrous system, meaning they were from the same father.
Back then, the Fifth Imperial Princess was in the faction of the Ninth Princess, serving as an able minister without ambitions for power.
Prince Meng, as the Sixth Princess, seemed neutral on the surface, and though people believed the Heavenly Family was heartless, she leaned more towards the Ninth Princess compared to the self-serving Eighth Princess.
Especially after the death of the Fifth Imperial Princess, despite any previous leanings or reservations, as she was killed by the Eighth Princess, there was no chance of her submitting to the enemy, and she wholeheartedly helped the Ninth Princess, doing so in secret known to only a few in the Ninth Princess’s faction.
