The emperor was so angry that he rushed to the parrot cage, grabbed the parrot and was about to smash it to death.

The parrot flapped its wings and continued to speak in human language: "Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me! The genius doctor of the Tang family can save the Queen Mother!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruhai stepped forward to dissuade the emperor.

"Your Majesty, since the bird has already drunk all the blood of the golden dragon, it is impossible to reverse what has been done. However, the bird seems to have awakened its mind and... it may have the ability to predict the future. Why don't we wait for the divine doctor named Tang? If he is not accurate, we can kill him later."

The emperor regained some consciousness after hearing this, so he stared at the parrot and asked, "Who am I?"

The parrot looked at the emperor, bowing his head as if to kneel, and said devoutly: "Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"

The emperor turned around and ordered, "Liu Ruhai, take good care of this bird. I want to see if this genius doctor named Tang will come!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" The bird continued to kowtow.

Liu Ruhai quickly responded: "Yes, sir!"

"What about Deputy Commander Yuan and Ye Xiaofeng?"

"Do as we said before. Ask Yuan Botao's family to quickly collect his body, and then ask the Ministry of Revenue to make a thin coffin and send it over!"

As he said this, the emperor raised his leg and was about to go out.

"Your Majesty, is this meal?"

"Send it to the study. I haven't been to court for a few days. I have to approve the memorials!"

"Congratulations to your Majesty!"

Ye Xiaofeng also knelt down and said, "Farewell, Your Majesty!"

Liu Ruhai hurried to convey the emperor's order, and Ye Xiaofeng followed Liu Ruhai to collect Yuan Botao's body. Ye Xiaofeng said nothing along the way, but he felt mixed emotions:

Half of the Black Tiger Guards lost their lives because of this golden dragon blood, and Deputy Commander Yuan lost his life because of it. Just when it was about to enter the Queen Mother's mouth, it was swallowed by a parrot by mistake. Fate, how ridiculous is that?

Yuan Botao's son Yuan Zhigang was heartbroken when he first heard the news of his father's death. But when he heard that the emperor decided to give him an official position, he didn't feel so sad anymore.

"What kind of official position will you give me?" Yuan Zhigang asked excitedly as he stood up. His 300-pound body was full of fat, and it seemed as if the earth would shake when he stepped on it.

"This... the emperor has not yet made a final decision."

"Then let the emperor give me the position of Minister of Finance."

"Gang'er! Stop talking nonsense and come here!"

Yuan Botao's wife quickly scolded her son and apologized to Liu Ruhai.

Liu Ruhai sighed when he saw this scene. He had worked diligently all his life, and even those who had offspring were like this. Then what about himself who had no offspring...

At this time, it was already dark, and Yu Qinghong and Tang Yiran arrived at the border of Yonghe County.

Yonghe County is also a large county, and its prosperity is no less than that of Nanshan County. After traveling all the way, both the people and the horses were exhausted.

"Let's rest in Yonghe County tonight!" Yu Qinghong said gently.

"Okay! It's boring to sit in the carriage for so long. Why don't we get off and take a walk?"

As he spoke, Tang Yiran took Yu Qinghong's arm and got off the carriage. After the two got off the carriage, the coachman also led the carriage and looked around leisurely. This night market was also quite lively, with bright lights and bustling voices. The shops on both sides of the street were filled with all kinds of goods, dazzling and everything you could imagine.

"Dong, dong, dong!" Suddenly there was a sound of gongs, followed by a middle-aged man's voice shouting:

"Medicine for sale! Medicine for sale! Don't miss it if you pass by! Everyone come and have a look! Everyone come and have a look! This is good stuff. This medicine was specially bought from the Concord Hall in Nanshan County. If you take this medicine home and have a headache or fever, it will work!"

A middle-aged woman nearby asked, "If I'm sick, can't I just go to the pharmacy and get medicine? Why should I buy your medicine?"

"Hey~ This beautiful lady asked the right question. Why? Let me explain. If you get sick in the middle of the night and the pharmacy is closed, what should you do?"

A pretty little girl smiled and said in an exaggerated tone: "Of course, buy our ready-made medicine. With ready-made medicine, you don't have to worry about getting sick in the middle of the night!"

The little girl performed more than ten somersaults in the arena with great agility, and there was cheering from all around.

The middle-aged man struck the gong and asked, "So what medicines do we have?"

The little girl smiled and said to the crowd around her: "For heart disease, colds, coughs, pain relief, debridement, whatever you want, we have it!"

Yu Qinghong listened to the noise and smiled. He said to Tang Yiran, "I didn't expect that the medicine sellers from Xiehetang would sell here."

Tang Yiran was puzzled and asked, "Have you authorized it?"

Yu Qinghong shook his head gently and said, "Let's see what's going on." As he spoke, Yu Qinghong tightly grasped Tang Yiran's hand and squeezed into the crowd.

As soon as the two squeezed into the crowd, they heard a slick voice:

"Girl, I don't know if this medicine is effective, but..."

"But girl, you are the medicine that heals me! Why don't you come home with me and be my Little Nine."

The man was a little fat and not tall, but his face was extremely ugly, with a black face comparable to Bao Gong, straight eyebrows, tiny triangular eyes, a garlic nose and a toad mouth, and most importantly, there was a fist-sized callus on the right side of his cheek, and the callus was covered with hair. It made me want to vomit just by looking at it!

At this time, the man's tone was frivolous. Yu Qinghong looked inside and saw that the man's pig's trotter had already been placed on the girl's shoulder! The girl was obviously displeased, and her pretty face was full of anger.

"Let me go!" the girl shouted, trying to break free from the man's hand.

The girl's struggle was of no avail, and the man hugged the girl even tighter upon seeing this.

The people around were just angry but dared not speak out in the face of this situation. They had a sense of justice but no one dared to stand up. Tang Yiran could no longer bear it. She was so angry that her face turned red and her chest rose and fell. She suddenly shouted, "Let her go!"

The man said arrogantly, "Yo yo yo! In Yonghe County, there are still people who dare to control me? They are really bold!"

As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a beautiful woman who was much prettier than the medicine-selling girl. At that moment, his eyes were fixed on her, and a fire of evil suddenly ignited in his heart.

"Oh! So there is another beauty here! I, Wang Bao, am lucky today. I met two beauties, one big and one small."

As he spoke, his eyes revealed a greedy look, as if he wanted to eat Tang Yiran alive.

Yu Qinghong was already extremely dissatisfied with Wang Bao's occupation of a commoner woman, and now he was bullying Tang Yiran. This was intolerable.

Yu Qinghong was too lazy to say anything. He just flew to Wang Bao, grabbed his dirty hands and twisted them back. Then he kicked him in the back, and Wang Bao fell to the ground.

Wang Bao felt both pain and humiliation, so he angrily said, "Where did you come from, pretty boy? Do you know who I am? If you dare to mess with me, I will make you suffer."

"Hurry up and capture him!"

A few servants squeezed in from the outside of the crowd, looking like they were taking advantage of their masters.

"Our young master is the only son of the magistrate of Yonghe County. How dare you touch him? I think you are tired of living!"

Yu Qinghong found it funny when he heard it. He said calmly, "Then he deserves to be beaten! As the son of an official, he doesn't set a good example!"

As he said that, he kicked Wang Bao again in front of those people. Wang Bao groaned in pain and said to the servant: "Are you dead? Didn't you see that I was beaten?"

Seeing this, the servants rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward screaming.

Yu Qinghong knocked down the men on his left and right upon seeing this. No one could last even half a move in his hands before they fell down, their faces bruised and swollen, and they were crying and wailing.

"Take your young master and get out! Don't let me see you bullying a woman again!"

When Wang Bao saw this, he immediately left with the servant, and before leaving, he did not forget to say something: "Little pretty boy! You wait for me!"

Looking at Yu Qinghong who saved her, the girl's face was filled with gratitude. Her face instantly turned red and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"My Lord, you saved me. I have no way to repay you, but..."

Yu Qinghong interrupted the girl and said, "I just saw injustice and helped. I don't ask for anything in return."

"Young Master!" The girl grabbed Yu Qinghong's arm.

Yu Qinghong winked at Tang Yi and calmly pulled the girl's arm away: "I have a fiancée, she's right here!"

That tone was as firm as joining the party!

When Tang Yiran felt that the girl climbed onto Yu Qinghong's arm, she felt so jealous, as if she had spilled a jar of five-proof Ninghua vinegar. When she heard Yu Qinghong say this, she instantly became happy again.

When Tang Yiran stood next to Yu Qinghong, Yu Qinghong pointed at Tang Yiran proudly and said, "Look, I have a fiancée, so don't say anything else, girl."

"Oh my, they are indeed a perfect match, just like gods descending to earth."

"Oh, look at these two, they are a perfect match!"

The crowd was filled with praises for Qing Hong and Tang Yiran, but the girl covered her face with her hands and shed tears, her tears hiding a vicious look in her eyes.
