The music in the hall suddenly stopped. The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a smile on his face and began his opening remarks.

"The Prince of Yan has won the battle again. He has conquered Dongyu in just two months and expanded the territory of our Beixiao Kingdom. I am very pleased. The Prince of Yan's Mansion will reward you! The Beilin Army will also be rewarded!"

The territory of Beixiao Kingdom is unprecedentedly grand, and the emperor is in a very good mood.

"I, your son, would like to thank you on behalf of the soldiers. With your thoughts, I believe they will devote themselves to our Northern Xiao Nation in the future!" Xiao Hanye bowed his head and spoke respectfully in official language, but suddenly changed the subject and said, "However, your father should reward another person. If it weren't for her, more than a hundred soldiers would not be able to return to their homeland!"

"Oh? Who?" the emperor asked.

"It's Chu Nanyue, the daughter of the traitor Chu Zhaoyu!" Xiao Hanye replied meaningfully.

When he said this, there was an uproar in the crowd.

"King Yan is really asking for trouble. Why is he bringing up a guilty minister at this critical moment?"

"Yes, the emperor is kind-hearted and has agreed to let the daughter of a guilty minister marry into the royal family. This is a favor from heaven. What exactly does Prince Yan want to do?"

"I think Prince Yan will not only lose his reward, but he may even be beaten with a stick!"

A hint of luck flashed across Xiao Jingrui's eyes as he held the cup.

Fortunately, his engagement with Chu Nanyue was cancelled in time.

No matter how that woman is reborn, she is still burdened by her past.

The eldest prince Xiao Liangce said with a smile: "Fourth brother, do you regret this? Do you want to ask father to cancel the order?"

Xiao Hanye really thinks the imperial edict belongs to him. He can issue it whenever he wants and take it back whenever he wants. He is courting death.

It would be best if the other four princes all committed suicide and he became the emperor directly.

His new concubine, Shen Meng'er, glanced at him secretly. She didn't speak without thinking and snored when she slept. No matter how she looked at her, she didn't like him.

Her eyes moved around the other three princes.

Prince of Ning, Prince of Yu, and Prince of Yan.

Any of them is better than this stupid guy next to me.

Finally, she glared at Chu Nanyue with a gloating look. It served her right. No matter how much she changed, she was still not presentable!

Shen Quan also looked at Chu Nanyue sinisterly. The day she was abandoned by King Yan was the day she and her lame elder brother died.

Jiang Wanyan, who was beside the Queen Mother, was so excited that she couldn't stop herself. Was Prince Yan really planning to abandon Chu Nanyue?

She said that such a miserable background could only become a stumbling block on his road to becoming king.

Only a loyal and virtuous woman like her could be his perfect match.

Xiao Jun'an couldn't help but look up at Chu Nanyue. Her eyes were not only not gloomy but also faintly bright. Does she still not like King Yan?

His deep eyes moved, and a ray of light flashed across them like a shooting star.

The emperor's mouth curled up slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Tell me in detail!"

"Your Majesty, Ah Yue has invented a new type of surgery for treating trauma, called suturing. This technique is extremely effective for large-area wounds. After suturing and taking the exclusive secret medicine vitamins developed by Ah Yue, the vitality can be increased. In this way, more soldiers can return safely. I think it should be promoted vigorously!"

Xiao Hanye replied loudly. After that, without waiting for the emperor to speak, he spoke again quietly: "Hearing is not as good as seeing. Father, you can find a few seriously injured patients in the prison and have the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital make the judgment!"

As long as he saw Chu Nanyue's amazing achievement and such a milestone step forward in the field of medicine, he didn't believe that the emperor would not agree to his request.

Chu Nanyue stood up and bowed her head, saying: "I am willing to demonstrate it to your majesty!"

Lord Pei, the Minister of Justice, said, "There is a very important thief in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. During the pursuit, he was accidentally stabbed in the abdomen, leaving a wound as long as a pierce. The doctors are helpless. I am worried about what to do. Why don't you allow Princess Yan to try?"

Yao Wenhong from the Dali Temple: "What a coincidence, the Dali Temple also has a back-opening criminal, can Princess Yan give it a try as well?"

Xiao Hanye said coldly, "Could it be that he has not been tortured into confessing by Lord Yao again?"

Yao Wenhong's face turned red from being choked: "Prince Yan, be careful with your words. This is also caused by the conflict during the pursuit!"

Xiao Hanye nodded: "I hope Lord Yao doesn't take people's lives lightly!"

Yao Wenhong was speechless, and Xiao Jingrui added: "Lord Yao has always been fair and just, fourth brother, please don't wantonly frame the court officials!"

Xiao Hanye smiled: "Isn't the incident with my princess' brother a living example? After an innocent person died, the real murderer was found out?"

Xiao Jingrui replied: "This is the normal interrogation process, it is something that happens occasionally, and the emperor didn't say anything..."

The emperor was called out, and had no choice but to smooth things over. He coughed and said, "Then bring them all over to Chu Nanyue for treatment!"

He would naturally enjoy the results of anything that benefits his people.

After Chu Nanyue saluted the emperor, she calmly got off her seat, stood up and went to the outer hall, and took Doctor Wen and other doctors to treat the seriously injured patients...

Inside the hall, people were toasting each other and having a great time.

Outside the hall, the atmosphere was tense and solemn, and everyone was racing against time.

After a few dances, everyone completely relaxed and the atmosphere became increasingly lively, but everyone had their own thoughts.

Naturally, Prince Ning and his party did not want Chu Nanyue outside the palace to cure the patient.

Naturally, Prince Yan's party was eagerly looking forward to capturing Chu Nanyue. Such a shocking move could save him from being a criminal and no longer be criticized by Prince Yan.

The neutral party, such as Prince Xiao Jun'an, was probably the most indifferent, but for some reason, he, who was always as indifferent as a chrysanthemum, had a few rare throbbings in his heart...

Finally, under the attention of everyone.

Chu Nanyue and a group of imperial doctors entered the palace to report.

"Your Majesty, the patient's condition has temporarily stabilized. As long as he survives tonight, his life will be safe!"

As soon as she said this, all the imperial doctors became excited.

"The Princess of Yan is truly an extraordinary person. She could have thought of such a brilliant idea. She used sutures to stop the bleeding and used antibiotics to prevent infection. This is brilliant! This is brilliant and urgent!"

"I've never seen anything like this in my life. This is the first time I've seen someone survive with his intestines gushing out. I'm in awe of him!"

"Could it be that the Princess of Yan is a fairy who has descended to earth? She has come here specifically to promote the medical skills of our Beixiao Nation?"

Xiao Hanye had a proud smile on his handsome face, but after hearing these words, his expression fell.

What does it mean to promote the medical skills of Beixiao? It is obvious that they came to save him.

If it weren't for Chu Nanyue, grass would have grown on his grave by now.

Thinking that he, the great war god of the Northern Xiao Kingdom, did not die on the battlefield but died suddenly at home, he was so angry that his whole body was cold...

Once he catches the real culprit behind this, he will definitely torture him to death!

But he was inexplicably afraid. What if all of this was really directed and acted out by Chu Nanyue’s nominal father?

That's why he would use this banquet to help Chu Nanyue completely get rid of Chu Zhaoyu's involvement.

Yao Wenhong jumped out and asked: "How can we treat him if he is injured like that?"

In order to make things difficult for Chu Nanyue, he specially found a prisoner from the Dali Temple who had been sentenced to death by a doctor, and his intestines were churning out.

The emperor also found it unbelievable, but Jiang Shou came back and reported that the two criminals were now breathing steadily and their pulses were normal.

As a result, there was a hint of shock in his gaze towards Chu Nanyue.

He didn't expect that the daughter of a criminal who couldn't even write a few words could be so powerful.

Doctor Wen was the first to disagree: "Master Yao, the facts are before our eyes and cannot be disbelieved. First, you cured the Queen Mother's long-standing illness, and now you have saved lives and healed the wounded. I already admire you with all my heart, but medical skills are not passed on to outsiders. Therefore, I decided to take the Princess of Yan as my master and inherit her legacy to benefit the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the Queen... and everyone in the palace!"

He spoke with bold words and spit flying, and he kowtowed to Chu Nanyue while speaking: "I hope Princess Yan will accept me as your disciple! Although I am old, I have a compassionate heart and an indomitable spirit of exploration. I will definitely carry forward your medical skills!"

Chu Nanyue wiped her face and looked at Xiao Hanye with some confusion. Did this guy bribe Doctor Wen?

The corner of Xiao Hanye's mouth twitched...

Why did he need to bribe her? This old man was just expressing his true feelings!

When he was helping him to remove the poison, he discovered that the old man was not being sincere.

Although he said he disapproved, his two little eyes were secretly sparkling with brilliance.

The old fellow continued shamelessly, "Master, I still have many doubts. May I bother you again?"

Seeing this, how could the other imperial doctors sit still?

The old man's medical skills were already better than theirs. If he learned new medical skills, they would be afraid that they would not be able to help him. So, their eyes rolled and they knelt down one after another with a pious look on their faces: "I hope the Princess of Yan will accept us as well!"

Chu Nanyue looked at the emperor with embarrassment: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor coughed lightly and said, "This is a matter that benefits the country and the people. Princess Yan will teach you everything you know!"

The Queen Mother spoke kindly, "Girl Yue, you are indeed the girl that Han'er likes. You are a treasure from head to toe. Doctor Wen is a medical geek. If you don't agree to him, he will knock his head through!"

Jiang Wanyan, who was sitting obediently beside her, pursed her lips when she heard the compliment, and twisted the silk handkerchief vigorously with her hands hidden in her sleeves.

How could Chu Nanyue, the daughter of a criminal, be so easily treated differently by so many people?

The look she gave Prince Yan was one of obsession, resentment and deep jealousy. Her knees, which had been punished by the Queen Mother to kneel for blaspheming Prince Yan a month ago, began to ache again.

But the next second it didn't hurt anymore.

She also heard the Queen Mother say: "Yue girl has great medical skills, so I'm sure she's not narrow-minded. In the future, there will always be many beautiful girls in the Prince Yan's Mansion. After you enter the Prince Yan's Mansion, you should be tolerant and take care of the backyard for your husband so that he doesn't have to worry about anything!"

Jiang Wanyan's sinking heart slowly rose...

Although the Queen Mother was annoyed by her rude words and actions that day, she still loved her... She would find a suitable time to marry her to the King of Yan...

Chu Nanyue bowed her head and replied, "Please rest assured, Queen Mother, I will not interfere with what the King of Yan does!"

The key point is, if it rains, my mother wants to get married, can she interfere?

How many Xiao Hanye wants to marry depends on his kidneys.

However, as long as he is dirty, he can never touch her again!

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction.

Seeing that the Queen Mother had expressed her opinion, the Queen had to show her motherly demeanor. She opened her red lips and said, "Mother, Your Majesty, I am as impressed by the medical skills of the Princess of Yan as you are. But if the news gets out that the imperial doctors are to worship her as their teacher, it will damage the reputation of our royal family."

After she finished speaking, there was an unspeakable look on her face.

What a joke! How can it be proper for all the imperial doctors to pay homage to the daughter of a guilty official?

The important thing is that she cannot spread the good name of King Yan.

Lord Pei, the Minister of Justice, immediately stood up and agreed: "Your Majesty, what you are thinking is reasonable! Although the Princess of Yan was granted marriage to the Prince of Yan by the Emperor's grace, she is after all the descendant of a criminal. If all the imperial doctors were to worship her as their teacher, wouldn't it make people laugh if the news got out?"

"So what?" Xiao Hanye frowned and looked cold, and a cold current suddenly burst out from his body.

Minister Pei bowed his head and said, "The Princess of Yan has been blessed by Heaven and has not been implicated. Perhaps she shouldn't care so much about it now!"

"Minister Pei, I finally understood what you said. So, as soon as you touched my lips, my fourth sister-in-law should make selfless contributions?" Xiao Yihang scratched his head and said as if waking up from a dream.

This was exactly what Xiao Jingrui wanted: "Seventh brother, as a citizen of the Northern Xiao Kingdom, isn't this what you should do?"

The emperor stroked his beard and leaned lazily on the dragon throne.

Well said, that's how it should be!

Everything in the world belongs to the emperor!

Xiao Hanye suddenly smiled: "Since Second Brother has such a high level of enlightenment and no desires, why not become a monk?"

The emperor glared at Xiao Hanye unhappily.

Xiao Hanye ignored him and continued, "People always like to stand on the top of ethics and morality to make up stories about others, no matter what they do. Ah Yue is deeply grateful to the emperor and has never asked anything of her son. This time, she worked hard to treat the wounded in the military camp without complaint, but she did not have any extra thoughts. How can a son bear to see such a grateful and selfless woman being burdened by her life experience?"

"I ask the Emperor to grant her a clear identity, so that her talents will not be buried by the eyes of the world. Why not do this?"

"So, fourth brother actually wants our father to pardon her identity as the daughter of a criminal?" Xiao Jingrui suddenly realized.

Xiao Hanye shook his head: "No! Ah Yue is one of the thousands of common people in our Beixiao country!"

Xiao Jingrui couldn't keep up with his train of thought for a moment, but Xiao Junan understood.

Xiao Hanye wants to change Chu Nanyue's surname!

Their Beixiao Kingdom does have this precedent.

The biological father of Taifu Chu Ling was once a criminal, who was spared from death thanks to a golden medal of immunity from death from Grandpa Huolu. He thought he would live a miserable life, but no one expected that such a young man would be so brave that he could take the head of the enemy marshal among thousands of soldiers and horses in the Battle of Chiye that year, causing the enemy army to collapse in an instant and become completely defeated, thus making a great achievement.

The late emperor was very pleased and gave him the surname Chu and appointed him general.

Chu Ling did not become complacent. From then on, he worked diligently, fought in all directions, and gradually rose to the position of Grand Marshal of the Army. He even took the initiative to transfer the military power when he achieved success.

The late emperor, in consideration of his courage to retire at an early age, gave him the honorary title of Grand Tutor, that is, the teacher of the current emperor.

When the emperor was young, he was also a good commander of troops and warriors, and a large part of this was due to Chu Ling’s teaching.

After Chu Ling's death, the emperor, in gratitude for his teachings, posthumously awarded him the title of Grand Tutor and the posthumous name of Zhongyong.

The emperor slowly withdrew his distant gaze. He naturally knew Xiao Hanye's intention.

He was about to open his mouth to refuse, but it was obvious that Chu Nanyue's contribution was not enough for him to give her a surname.

At this time, an imperial physician hurried in to report.

"Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Zhongyong's grandson Chulu accidentally fell from a tree while playing, and the branch pierced his body. His life is in danger. His father is away and begs Your Majesty to allow the imperial physician to treat him."

Chu Lu's father, Chu Xuan, was a fifth-rank official in the Dali Temple. He was not qualified to hire an imperial physician, but was given this gift thanks to the protection of his great-grandfather.

However, this also indirectly shows that Chu Lu's situation is not optimistic.

The emperor tapped the table with his index finger. He looked at Xiao Hanye, who had a calm expression on his face. After examining him for a long time, he did not detect any abnormal emotions. He then slowly spoke: "Since the Prince of Yan wants to give the Prince of Yan a surname other than his own, then let's leave it to God's will!"
