The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Princess Ji Ling stood beside the carriage, talking to Cao. Then, she stuffed a small bag back into Cao's hand.

Afterwards, Cao Hanmo walked to Cao's side, bowed and clasped his fists towards Princess Ji Ling, and said a few words with a guilty look on his face.

"Master Cao, please don't be so polite. Gao Yang asked me to go to the Herb Hall to buy some medicine, and it didn't cost much. You don't have to give me the money on her behalf. She and I were once sisters, so consider it a gift from me to her. Take care of your family."

Yun Mujiu pulled Ye Xiaohan over and vaguely heard what Princess Ji Ling said.

Princess Ji Ling recognized her good sister at once and hurried over to greet Yun Mujiu. She also said hello to Ye Xiaohan: "Ji Ling greets Uncle Ye."

Cao Hanmo's family and several servants were surprised and immediately came over to pay their respects. Ye Xiaohan waved his hand and said nothing.

Cao Hanmo led his family and insisted on giving a grand gift to King Ye and his wife to express their gratitude. If it weren't for King Ye and his wife, his family would probably have died at the hands of Gao Yang or Emperor Haolian.

It was the Night King and his wife who found out the truth about Cao Hanmo's benefactor for them. It was also the Night King and his wife who gave them the opportunity to see Gao Yang's true character and allowed them to escape.

Yun Mujiu looked at the pale-faced Madam Cao and said, "At the banquet, I cleared the old lady of the aphrodisiac incense poison, gave her acupuncture, and prescribed medicine. After we part today, the medicine she has will be enough for a while. If she needs it again in the future..."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and said, "It contains a prescription tailored to the old lady's condition. The herbs in it are common and easy to obtain. She needs to rest well from now on. This way, the old lady will not be at risk of a stroke or paralysis."

Old Madam Cao's eyes were filled with tears of gratitude, and the whole family expressed their gratitude to Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan profusely.

Yun Mujiu waved his hand and said calmly, "I saved the old lady because I was just fulfilling my duty as a doctor. There's no need to worry about it."

She then asked, "Now that the matter of the benefactor has concluded, what are Mr. Cao's plans?"

Cao Hanmo gave a bitter laugh, "Princess Ye, I am already a commoner and cannot bear the title of 'Third Master'."

Yun Mujiu said calmly, "Mr. Cao." There was no contempt in his words.

Cao Hanmo sighed lightly and did not ask Yun Mujiu to change his words. After all, both Princess Ye and Prince Ye gave him, a weak scholar, the respect that he did not deserve.

Cao Hanmo said solemnly, "I have placed her in a deep mountain outside the city. I will come back to visit her when I have the chance. May she rest in peace."

Seeing that the tragically dead girl had found a place to rest, Yun Mujiu nodded and said, "Take care."

When the sun was at its highest, the Cao family left the capital in several dilapidated carriages amid the discussions and comments of the onlookers.

At that time, Gao Yang and his gang were being held in the Jingzhao prison, waiting for the day of their execution.

Wu Mingwei was also imprisoned again, and was held in the Jingzhao Prefecture Jail with Divine Doctor Wu. However, the two were separated, so she was unaware of Divine Doctor Wu's memory restoration.

Wang Gou and his group of attendants who had been following Gao Yang in committing evil deeds were all executed.

Beihan Divine Doctor and other Beihan people in the team were all trying to find out about Divine Doctor Wu and his daughter, and after Yun Mujiu's suggestion at the banquet, they had a different view of Divine Doctor Wu.

It seems that the legendary book written by Dr. Wu, which is a collection of his many years of medical experience, might have something strange in it...

In addition to the people from Beihan who noticed that something was wrong with Doctor Wu, other people from Zhongyue also realized something.

A few months ago, some people in the palace wondered why the emperor didn't just kill Doctor Wu and his daughter. At that time, the empress, Concubine Yu, the fifth prince and the seventh prince all guessed that the emperor had received great benefits from Doctor Wu. Later, they also vaguely found out that the emperor had obtained a medical book from Doctor Wu.

At Madam Cao's birthday banquet, Yun Mujiu gave Wu Mingwei a medical book as a wedding gift, reminding them that books possessed by others are often peculiar. After the banquet, they confirmed that the Emperor had indeed received a medical book from Divine Doctor Wu, and that it was quite peculiar, seemingly involving a profound secret.

In the Imperial Hospital of the Palace, Doctor Shi and his eldest disciple closed the door and started a meeting.

The two men lit two dim lamps and sat on the chairs in front of the medicine cabinet to discuss.

The emperor had just received a medical book from Doctor Wu, and later asked them to take a look at the book. One reason was to let them learn from it, and the other was to let them judge the quality of the book and find out if there were any abnormalities in it.

In Doctor Shi's opinion, this book not only contained the medical experience accumulated by Divine Doctor Wu over his years in the Northern Frost Country, but also included miraculous prescriptions from all over the world. As for what was so strange about it? They couldn't see it.

Of course, the Emperor treasured this hard-earned medical book, and would not allow other doctors to fully master it. Therefore, he did not allow his trusted imperial physicians to fully master it. Instead, he only allowed Imperial Physician Shi to read part of the content, and let other imperial physicians master the rest. This way, the essence of the book was dispersed, and the threat of one person fully mastering the book was eliminated.

The emperor's excessive vigilance also resulted in Doctor Shi being unable to implement his plan even though he wanted to study the secrets in the medical book more carefully.

In the dimly lit room, Doctor Shi and his disciples could not come to a conclusion.

Doctor Shi sighed and continued, "But I think that even if we can't find anything, Prince Ye and Princess Ye should have a lot of information."

Zheng Yuan's eyes lit up, "Master, you mean..."

Doctor Shi nodded. "Indeed, they must know something. Look at how Princess Ye gave Wu Mingwei a medical book as a wedding gift at the birthday banquet, which subtly conveyed some rather obscure messages. And didn't you see how she hinted to the Emperor and the Crown Prince that those Beihan Divine Doctors might be willing to harm their patients in order to achieve their treatments? This suggests that Princess Ye had already discovered something."

Doctor Shi pondered this further, recalling the clues he had finally received about Divine Doctor Ye and his son, which seemed to have been secretly passed on by Prince Ye. It seemed as if Prince Ye and Princess Ye were secretly manipulating the overall situation, gradually clearing up the fog of this murky situation.

So what can they do?

Take the initiative to contact the Night King and his wife?

Doctor Shi did not dare to act so rashly at the moment, for fear that he would be beheaded by the suspicious emperor.

He blew out a lamp, and the dim light cast a shadow on his serious face.

"Zheng Yuan, we have to slowly find opportunities to have as much contact with the Night King and his wife as possible..."
