The General is Pregnant: His Majesty Abstinence and Sexual Devotion Every Night

Chapter 285 Speechless

"Does City Lord Zhang think there's something wrong with what I just said?"

Marquis Yongning asked calmly.

When Zhang Wenlai heard his words, he shuddered all over and realized that his expression was wrong, so he hurriedly explained and told Yongning Hou everything he had just thought of.

After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes slightly to look at the Marquis's face, and saw that his expression was still calm. Then he nodded again, and without saying anything more, he turned around and wanted to leave. However, before leaving, he couldn't help but remind him: "When Doctor Li comes out, tell him about the three herbs. Don't forget it."

Zhang Wenlai nodded quickly and said that he would remember it.

Upon seeing this, Marquis Yongning didn't say anything more. He turned around and left. He thought that their feelings would be uncomfortable if he stayed here.

Marquis Yongning could see these and had always known them.

During dinner, the people who were still there still remembered what Yongning Hou had just said, and Li Laile also came with them.

But he was injured, so the only thing he could eat was porridge. He sat there, looking at the delicious food on the table in front of him, but seeing the reality that he couldn't touch it, he silently drank a mouthful of porridge to calm himself down.

The taste of the white porridge was too light, so he thought about finishing it quickly. However, when he looked up, he saw the marquis and the lord of a city sitting not far away. Li Laile couldn't help but slow down his eating speed.

He thought, these two people have higher status than each other, but they don't have the smug and self-righteous attitude that he has seen before. Instead, they are approachable and friendly. This makes people feel good. No wonder when they were in the mansion, everyone here praised them and looked respectful and admiring.

He thought so in his mind. Originally, he just wanted to develop a prescription to cure the plague with the intention of repaying his gratitude, but now it seems that he really wants to make the expressions on these two people relax.

Not like now, even while eating dinner, he still looks worried.

Li Laile feels that such officials who are dedicated to serving the people are worthy.

As for the three medicinal herbs Zhang Wenlai mentioned when he came out before dinner...

When Li Laile thought of this, he was a little unsure for a moment why these three herbs were worthy of what they said and could be developed as the main herbs. After dinner, he asked them if they could get a few plants for an experiment.

As he was thinking about this, he drank his porridge faster involuntarily. When he finished, the two people not far away had not finished yet.

Maybe this is the difference between porridge and rice.

Li Laile thought coldly.

After they finally finished eating, Li Laile stood up, said a few simple words of greeting to the two of them, and then turned around to help with his own work.

After seeing the people walking away, Yongning Hou turned his face to the side, and when he squinted, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes were revealed, making him look a bit old, which was just right for his current age. After all, he was almost forty years old. In addition, he had not rested properly in recent days, so the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more and more obvious.

He asked Zhang Wenlai: "After I told Dr. Li about the medicinal materials, what was his reaction?"

After hearing this, Zhang Wenlai tried to recall what he had said before about the three herbs. The miracle doctor seemed to be stunned, obviously not having thought of anything, or he seemed to doubt that these three herbs could be used as the main prescription for developing an epidemic relief prescription. Zhang Wenlai organized his words and told Marquis Yongning what he had just thought of.

Marquis Yongning frowned and said nothing.

"So even if he has doubts, he still has to continue the experiment, right?"

Yongning Hou asked.

Zhang Wenlai replied: "Yes"

"Then let's wait for the result. After all, there must be a basis for the emperor to say this."

"Huh? Yes!"

Zhang Wenlai wiped the unnecessary cold sweat from his forehead, wondering how the emperor knew that these three medicinal herbs would be useful to their Nanyu City. For the emperor to say this, he must be extremely sure, it was impossible that the emperor was deceiving them.

But the doctor thought it was unreliable. It was not easy to offend the people on both sides. He could only hope that Li Laile would do the experiment later. Thinking this in his heart, Zhang Wenlai glanced at Yongning Hou, but Yongning Hou noticed it. Seeing his expression, Yongning Hou's eyes curved, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes revealed a bit of kindness, as if he was looking at a junior. He smiled and said:

"If City Lord Zhang wants to see the development process of Divine Doctor Li, then go now. I won't join in the fun. After all, I'm old and my energy is limited."

Zhang Wenlai was shocked when he heard this, and quickly tried to comfort him:

"Your Majesty is only five or six years older than me, not that old."

amount……

This statement seemed to indirectly acknowledge the fact that Yongning Hou was a little old. But he was only almost forty, so he was indeed not old.

Could it be that I subconsciously thought that the Marquis was old? ?

Zhang Wenlai shut up completely. He knew that the more he talked, the more mistakes he made. The more he explained, the more people thought he was covering up. How embarrassing. Fortunately, Yongning Hou didn't care. He smiled kindly and tolerantly, teasing Zhang Wenlai for a while, letting him relax, and then left.

No wonder the emperor sent Marquis Yongning to Nanyu City.

Zhang Wenlai looked at the marquis's back as he left, and thought to himself with a sigh.

If it were any other official, or an irresponsible official with a bad temper, Zhang Wenlai felt certain that even if he tried hard to save Nanyu City, it would eventually be destroyed by that official.

Fortunately, the person sent by the emperor was Yongning Hou! Zhang Wenlai once again thanked the emperor for his wise behavior.

After expressing his gratitude, Zhang Wenlai saw that he could no longer see Yongning Hou, so he turned around and walked towards the direction where Li Laile was currently.

He really wanted to know what the three herbs were used for. After all, before Li Laile left, the doctors around them had tried many methods and barely came up with a prescription to suppress the outbreak of the plague, but it still had no fundamental effect.

Now that Doctor Li is here, he will definitely be able to provide everyone with a perfect idea, or even find another way.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

When Zhang Wenlai went over, he saw a group of doctors gathered here. Their eyes were fixed on one place with careful and shining expressions, as if they were looking at a delicious food. Their faces were full of impatience, as if they were ready to run over and grab it at any time.

But he clearly remembered that that direction was where Doctor Li was.

Zhang Wenlai looked at the doctors in front of him who were blocking his view, his face speechless.
