As soon as I stepped into the room, the strong and almost indissoluble smell of Chinese medicine instantly hit my nose.

The smell is so strong that it is even stronger than that in the medicine room outside.

The little servant boy obviously had not expected this to happen. He frowned slightly, subconsciously raised his arms, and covered his mouth and nose tightly with his sleeves, trying to block out the pungent smell.

Seeing him like this, Tian Buyi smiled slyly and said teasingly:

"Oh my, what's the matter, little one? You can't stand such a small taste?

Don't worry, Master Uncle has some good stuff here, I guarantee you'll feel better in no time!"

After saying that, he slowly took out a piece of tangerine peel from his arms. The tangerine peel was golden in color and exuded a faint fragrance.

The little boy took it and sniffed it, then smiled instantly and looked at him with his big eyes flashing.

"Well, uncle didn't lie to you, did he?" Tian Buyi was very proud.

"Mmmmm...Master uncle is so awesome!"

As he said that, the little servant boy ran to Tian Buyi to ask for more dried tangerine peel.

While the two were playing, Grandmaster Yuheng had already walked to the bed of the Shen family father and son.

He looked closely and saw that the Shen family father and son were lying quietly on the bed, covered with a quilt made of goose down, which was light and warm.

Their faces are rosy and they look very good.

If you look more closely, you can see that everyone's hair is combed neatly and even their faces are clean and refreshed.

It seems that Tian Buyi is quite reliable and takes good care of the Shen father and son.

Thinking of this, Master Yuheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

Then, he rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his strong and powerful fingers, and gently placed them on the wrist of each person in turn, carefully sensing the flow of breath in their bodies.

After a while, he slowly withdrew his hand, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Tian Buyi, the meridians of the Shen family father and son have mostly healed.

Even the most critical heart meridian showed a good trend of gradual recovery.

But why haven't they woken up yet?"

After hearing this, Tian Buyi's nonchalant look instantly disappeared and he quickly moved towards Grandmaster Yuheng.

When he got closer, he said seriously:

“Replying to Master Uncle, when they first arrived, their injuries were so severe that each of them only had the last trace of weak breath left.

Moreover, his heart meridian was severely damaged and broken.

If it weren't for you, Uncle Master, using up your own energy to transfer some of your true energy to them to prolong their lives, I'm afraid these people would have already returned to the underworld. Even if a Daluo Jinxian descended to the world, it would be difficult to turn the tide!"

Upon hearing this, Grandmaster Yuheng did not respond, but nodded slightly to show that he understood.

After a moment of hesitation, he asked again:

"So, in your opinion, how long will it take for these injured people to wake up?"

Tian Buyi thought for a moment before answering:

“It is difficult to estimate accurately, it may take about a month, or it may be as long as three months or even longer.

But, hey...

Even if they eventually wake up, I estimate that most of their martial arts skills will be completely lost.

After all, the injuries this time were too severe, damaging to the very foundation."

Upon hearing this, Grandmaster Yu Heng sighed helplessly:

"Alas... now that things have come to this, being able to survive is a blessing in disguise!"

Then, he turned around and warned:

"Well, you should continue to treat them according to the previous prescription. If the Shen family father and son show any abnormality, report to me immediately!

I'll go back to Ziyun Peak first!"

After saying this, he took the little servant out of the room and left in a cloud of dust.

At this time, Tian Buyi, who was standing at the door to see him off, looked in the direction where Grandmaster Yuheng left, and kept muttering to himself:

"My uncle-in-law keeps saying that everything is predestined and tells us not to interfere in worldly affairs lightly.

But in the end, I still say one thing and mean another!

He is obviously a soft-hearted person, otherwise why would he bring the Shen family father and son back? "Ah..."

……

Ten days later, a court meeting was taking place in the front hall of the Lingnan Palace.

Xiao Heng sat upright on his throne, while the officials stood on both sides as usual.

However, the number of officials today is obviously much smaller than in the past. A rough glance shows that the number is more than half less.

The reason behind this is not difficult to guess.

Just a few days ago, the ministers in the court had a heated debate over whether Lingnan should become an independent country. Everyone insisted on their own opinion and refused to give in, making the argument very intense.

The quarrel lasted from early morning to night, and the two sides remained deadlocked.

Xiao Heng finally became fed up with the endless quarrels. Unable to bear it any longer, he issued an edict.

The edict clearly stipulated that all officials were given three days to think and decide whether they were willing to continue serving as officials in Lingnan.

If someone wants to leave and no longer wants to stay here, then as long as he asks him to retire and return home, he will compensate him with some money as a consolation;

But if they choose to stay, they can continue to hold their original official positions and receive their salaries as usual according to the original regulations.

Moreover, this edict was not only valid for Nanhai County, but also applied to two other counties - Xiang County and Guilin County.

After the imperial edict was issued, it was quickly delivered to the other two counties at an accelerated speed of 800 miles to ensure that every official would be informed of the matter in a timely manner and make corresponding decisions.

At the same time, Xiao Heng added another edict.

The general meaning of this edict is:

He will choose an auspicious day to formally declare his independence from the Beiling Kingdom and establish the Nanyue Kingdom.

If the people living in Lingnan do not want to become citizens of the Kingdom of Nanyue, they can leave the Lingnan area freely within the next week.

Once these two edicts were issued, their effects quickly became apparent.
