The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 1338 Mu 9 rejects Du Digu and accepts Leng family heirloom jade

The next morning, it was drizzling.

Yun Mujiu went to Huayang Courtyard early in the morning and saw Ye Xiaohan talking to several generals.

Ye Xiaohan noticed someone coming out of the corner of his eye, waved his hand to let others leave, turned around and went to the main hall with Yun Mujiu holding an umbrella.

He briefly asked a few questions about the situation when they went up the mountain to get supplies yesterday, but did not ask any further questions. He only knew that the process of finding and getting supplies was basically smooth, and the weather was suitable for Yun Mujiu and his party to secretly transport the supplies back home.

Yun Mujiu breathed a sigh of relief, and was glad that Ye Xiaohan did not ask any further questions, otherwise she would not know how to explain the incident of her placing the system supplies in the dark room in the cave, and she would not know how to tell the Ninth Level of Netherworld about her popular science on mental illness.

The story of how the Night King and his wife assisted the Jingzhao Yin in solving three major cases has been made into a story and is being circulated.

People learned many truths, such as how Meng Wanzhou was tricked into marriage by Yun Boliang, who used a love poison to control her; how Meng Wanzhou and Yun Mujiu were abused and murdered by the Yun family; the heinous crimes committed by the dark forces of Beihan, represented by Divine Doctors Wu, Ye, and Luo; the tragic demise of several major Beihan families, including the Leng family; and the case of the theft at the medicine pavilion, in which Du Ziheng was scapegoated by people inside and outside the valley.

In the flower hall, after a warm breakfast, Ye Xiaohan said to Yun Mujiu, "Last night, Du Qian went crazy and tried to escape from prison. He was caught by the jailer. The two fought, and Du Qian hit his head against the wall and died shortly afterwards."

Yun Mujiu was practically astonished. He had never imagined that Du Qian, the Third Elder who had once served in Duti Valley, would have met such a tragic end. If he had reformed himself in prison and accepted his punishment, he might have had a chance to be released. Instead, he rushed into his own death.

Yun Mujiu took a sip of tea and sighed softly. "I'm speechless."

Ye Xiaohan took a quick glance and added, "Du Guier is yelling and screaming in prison, and is also anxious to escape."

Yun Mujiu waved his hand and said, "Let's ask Zongquan to send more people to prevent these criminals from making noise in the cell and disturbing the morale of the other prisoners."

Ye Xiaohan said "hmm" lightly.

Now that the truth behind the Duti Valley theft has been revealed, Du Ziheng's grievances have been cleared, and the criminals who murdered him, including Du Qian, Du Guier, Beihan farmer Sun Yong, and the Beihan miracle doctor forces, have all been brought to justice.

The head of Du Valley expelled Du Qian and Du Guier, a pair of unpresentable father and daughter, and tried hard to invite Du Ziheng to return to Duti Valley, but Du Ziheng declined.

Duguzhu was a huge fan of Yun Mujiu's and had earnestly requested Yun Mujiu to become the future head of Dutigu. He didn't need Yun Mujiu to personally work in the valley, even if it meant just a title. He believed that under the leadership of Yun Mujiu, the miraculous healer, Dutigu's future would be extremely bright.

To everyone's surprise, Yun Mujiu also rejected the olive branch offered by Dutigu. She simply stated that she was content with opening her own pharmacy and had no interest in taking over any other medical organization.

Master Du was quite regretful, but he also respected Yun Mujiu's choice. They were staying in the capital, hoping to stay for a while before leaving. At the very least, during this time, they could exchange medical knowledge with Yun Mujiu, broaden their horizons and improve their medical skills.

This morning, several waves of people submitted several invitations to the Night King's Mansion. Just after noon, several waves of people arrived one after another.

First, Leng Jizhen came to the door and expressed sincere gratitude to the Night King and his wife on behalf of all those who had been harmed by the Wu Divine Doctor faction.

Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu also received Leng Jizhen. After finishing his cup of tea, Leng Jizhen thanked them again and said, "Prince Ye, Princess Ye, I don't have much time left, and I'm afraid I can't repay your kindness. I asked my brother to repay my kindness on my behalf. If you need anything in the future, please go to him."

After saying this, he pulled out a jade pendant from his bosom. "The only reward I can offer you now is this jade pendant."

Yun Mujiu said: "Old man, we are not helping you out of gratitude, so whether you thank us or not is not important, you don't need to worry about it."

Leng Jizhen insisted on repaying the favor, saying, "If you, Princess, don't accept it, I won't be able to rest in peace." He then added, "What's more, I can't think of anyone else in the world who could take over this jade pendant except you, Princess. If you don't accept it, it will be a huge loss to me and the other noble families."

Yun Mujiu smiled bitterly and took the ancient yellow carp jade pendant with both hands.

Leng Jizhen then said, "This is a family heirloom of our Leng family, and it is of extraordinary significance. One of its main uses is that it can mobilize certain medical forces within Beihan to act on behalf of the jade pendant's holder. Although our Leng family has perished, the power and connections we accumulated in the past can still be used."

Then, he added with a hint of meaning: "As for other uses, perhaps if there is an opportunity in the future, you will be able to discover them by chance..."

Yun Mujiu didn't ask any further questions, but he had a feeling that there was a big secret inside.

Afterwards, Yun Mujiu took Leng Jizhen's pulse and prescribed some precious medicines.

Leng Jizhen hunched over, looking at Yun Mujiu with a look of relief, but a trace of deep sadness flickered between his brows. His end was already determined...

Yun Mujiu said a lot of comforting words, asking Leng Jizhen to take good care of himself. She would ask someone to send him back to Beihan, or if he wanted to live in Zhongyue, she would help him arrange everything.

Leng Jizhen agreed to all of them and left with tears in his eyes.

Yun Mujiu felt an inexplicable blockage in her heart. She knew that Leng Jizhen had been poisoned and killed by Doctor Wu, and his body had been in poor health for a long time.

For all these years, the desire for revenge had kept Leng Jizhen alive. Now that his revenge had been exacted, Leng Jizhen probably wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. She just hoped that this poor old man could regain some of his composure and live a little longer.

As Yun Mujiu thought about it, he recalled the time in the Jingzhao Prefecture courtroom when Leng Jizhen and Imperial Physician Shi had taken advantage of the chaos to assault Divine Doctor Wu and Divine Doctor Ye. Imperial Physician Shi had also whispered something to Divine Doctor Wu. Divine Doctor Wu's eyes widened in shock, and he tried to speak, but he was already so beaten that he couldn't utter a word.

Yun Mujiu guessed that, firstly, Doctor Shi confessed the truth that he was Leng Jiyuan, the heir of the Leng family, and that he had always been obsessed with seeking revenge against Doctor Ye and his son.

Secondly, Doctor Shi had said something provocative to Doctor Ye and his son. Doctor Wu was suffering from the toxins and pain he endured in prison, all thanks to Doctor Shi's covert poison. Doctor Shi had quietly poisoned Doctor Wu, letting him experience the same pain the Leng family had endured.

After the personal guards sent Leng Jizhen away, they welcomed a visit from Master Du and his group.

Yun Mujiu generously gave them a small batch of medicines and a batch of surgical instruments, and popularized modern advanced medical concepts and knowledge to them, especially the popular application knowledge of surgical operations.

As for Du Ziheng, Yun Mujiu asked him to keep in touch with Du Digu occasionally. Although they were no longer from the same school, as fellow doctors, it wouldn't hurt to see each other more often in the future.

Master Du and his group expressed their gratitude profusely to King Ye and his wife, and wept bitterly and apologized desperately to Du Ziheng.

Finally, the Night King asked Du Ziheng to send away the people from Dudi Valley, and Yun Mujiu turned around and welcomed the Ling brothers.

She remembered that she hadn't yet examined Ling Chiye's condition, so she wanted to determine if he had ever experienced memory loss. Wu Tutu's amnesia was caused by trauma, Du Ziheng's by poison, and Doctor Wu's by inner demons. She also wanted to diagnose whether Ling Chiye had experienced memory loss.

Everything is for that little girl Ji Ling!
