~ A DOCTOR CAN’T BE PROVOKED ~
Hearing Mu Yunyao’s promise, a bit of warmth rose from the bottom of Yue Wang’s heart. His fingers caressed her hair and felt the wetness within. He could not help but frown. “You didn’t dry your hair again.”
Mu Yunyao blinked, her expression very innocent. “I originally wanted to wait for you to dry it up later, but I didn’t know you come back too late.”
Yue Wang glanced at her very dissatisfied, asked her to sit by the bed, then took a cloth towel and sat down by the side of the bed. He pulled her down to lie on his lap, let her hair spread out, and carefully wiped it with the cloth towel.
Mu Yunyao was in a daze, unable to recover from her shock. She lay stiffly on Yue Wang’s leg and felt her cheeks burning.
Since the two of them had untied the knot in their hearts, Yue Wang had become more unscrupulous. However, such an intimate and natural relationship has made her heart burst with an indescribable sweetness.
Yue Wang wiped her hair with extreme care, his slender fingers moving between her black hair. Each movement was filled with indescribable gentleness. When he finished drying her hair and lowered his head to look at Mu Yunyao, he discovered she was already fast asleep.
Yue wang carefully lifted her up and placed her at the bedside before carefully covering her body with the blanket. He sat at the side and looked at her intently. He watched this for nearly an hour, and when Mu Yunyao sleepily turned around, did he regain his senses.
He slowly bent down and wanted to kiss Mu Yunyao’s forehead, but he was afraid his actions would wake her up, so he could only change the direction of his kiss on her hair before getting up and stealthily walking out.
On the next day, when Mu Yunyao saw Yue Wang again, he returned to his usual appearance, and he didn’t seem abnormal like last night in the slightest.
Mu Yunyao didn’t mention it deliberately either because Yue Wang wasn’t a weak-minded person and didn’t need to be comforted by others all the time.
The commoners saw that the people who had attended the free clinic were fine, and their symptoms had improved. They all regretted treating their kindness with the heart of a villain. Seeing that the free clinic had reached the last day, they hurriedly crowded to the free clinic, afraid they wouldn’t be able to make it in time for the Imperial Physicians’ diagnosis and treatment.
The officials helped maintain order, but there were too many civilians, so it still looked chaotic.
The Imperial Physicians were also somewhat bewildered by this situation. Without much time to think, they began to diagnose everyone’s pulse and treat their illnesses.
Mu Yunyao, who boiled the medicinal herb, was slightly more relaxed. She had already expected such a situation to occur. Therefore, she had classified and sorted the medicinal herb beforehand and saved quite a bit of effort.
The guards who had gone to the neighboring cities to inquire had rushed back. Because Yishui City had dealt with the epidemic in time, the plague did not continue to spread to the surrounding. Yue Wang and Mu Yunyao both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this news, then hurriedly wrote a report and sent them to the Capital.
In the Capital, after the Emperor issued the decree of sin, he personally went to the altar to pray for blessings.
After praying for blessings, rain fell from the sky. The commoner of the Capital felt this was a good omen, and their tensed minds had relaxed quite a bit.
After a few more days, Yue Wang’s report was delivered to the Capital. After the Emperor finished reading, he rejoiced and hurriedly issued an imperial decree announcing to the world.
The plague had been totally suppressed. Besides the twelve people who died because their bodies were too weak, the other pandemic victims were almost healed. The epidemic in Guancheng City had also been thoroughly controlled.
As soon as the news came out, the entire Capital went into an uproar.
They panicked because the people infected with the epidemic had died in the past. However, they have a prescription to treat the disease now and successfully cure the infected people in Yishui City and Guancheng City, which means that even if there is another plague in the future, they have a very high chance of surviving!
The Emperor brought Yue Wang’s report and directly went to see the Grand Princess: “Imperial Elder Sister, quickly take a look.”
After reading the report, Grand Princess Yi De’s face immediately filled with joy. “It is great. It is truly great.”
“That’s right. Yunyao has made a great contribution this time. If she hadn’t delivered the prescription, then Yishui City and the other nearby cities might not have been able to survive.”
Grand Princess Yi De clasped her hands together and bowed, “Amitabha, God bless you. If you don’t properly reward Yunyao this time, as your Imperial Elder Sister, I won’t listen to you.””
“Reward! I must reward her well! Imperial Elder Sister, it’s been a long time since I’ve been this happy.” After hearing such good news, the Emperor felt delighted from the bottom of his heart and swept away his depression and frustration from the past few days.
Grand Princess Yi De smiled but suddenly became somewhat worried. “Your Majesty, Junyue also mentioned the relationship between him and Yao’er. These two children have experienced life and death, so their relationship must be even stronger than before … He was a stubborn person, so it didn’t matter if he suffered some grievances or not. I was just afraid that if someone came in front of Yao’er to gossip, he wouldn’t be able to bear it and cause some trouble.”
“What Imperial Elder Sister said is correct. I have let Rou’er down, and I have also let Junyue down. It wasn’t easy for him to have his own sweetheart, so I can’t let this child continue to suffer grievances. Don’t worry, Imperial Elder Sister. I know what to do now.”
The Grand Princess Yi De smiled. “The Emperor is more meticulous than me. I’ll leave this matter for you to handle, then I’ll be able to save my worries.”
Hearing Grand Princess Yi De’s praise, the Emperor nodded earnestly in his heart. No matter what he wanted to do, he had always taken it into consideration. This time, Junye and Yunyao had made incredible contributions to the Dali Dynasty, and he should take good care of them. As for Ling Wang and Jin Wang…
After the Emperor returned to the Imperial Palace, he did not immediately deal with the two of them. Instead, he ordered the two of them to rush to Jiangnan to help Yu Wang with the remaining matters of the cities and supervise the construction of the riverbank. He wanted to see if the two of them had the slightest remorse!
In Guancheng City, Mu Yunyao had initially said she would only stay for three days. When the spectators saw that the free clinic was about to start packing up, they all stepped forward to kneel and beg.
The Imperial Physicians had perplexed expressions on their faces, but actually, they filled with joy in their hearts. If not for the powder thrown out by Princess Wenxian, they probably would have been thrown out of the city. Furthermore, the soldiers had shot them with arrows earlier … The clay figure still had a bit of spirit left!
Those people, who were tied to the tree, were also released. Then, they apologize in front of Mu Yunyao and the others.
In the end, the Imperial Physicians magnanimously expressed their forgiveness. Afterward, they gathered to study together if adding more coptis to the prescription would impact the medicine’s efficacy. After determining that it didn’t have much effect, the taste of the drugs would be a bit overwhelming.
After coming to Jiangnan, Yu Wang did not go to Linjiang City. Instead, he came directly to Guancheng City. He was irritated and complained to Yue Wang, “Fourth Imperial Brother, I’ve ashamed of myself this time.”
“What happened to Second Imperial Brother?”
Yu Wang recounted the part of himself crying and scolding the minister in the Imperial Court, so Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh after hearing it.
Yue Wang couldn’t help but smile: “Second Imperial Brother, are you not afraid that Miss Min will know about this?”
“I have seen it ahead of time. I am only like this because my father-in-law is not among those who are begging for mercy.”
Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but be curious, “Then sooner or later, this news will spread to Miss Min’s ears?”
Yu Wang placed his hands on his chest and humphed, “Can the rumors be believed? Of course, they can’t be acknowledged. Whoever dares to preach that I am crying and cursing without image, it means that they are jealous of my credit for relieving Jiangnan. Thus, they deliberately framed and discredited me. I will directly tell Imperial Father and let him take charge.”
Mu Yunyao and Yue Wang couldn’t stop themselves from looking at each other. Their eyes brimmed with laughter. His Royal Highness Yu Wang could be considered the most reckless person alive.
