Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Ping, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.

"I'm here to get acupuncture," Xia Yeran replied without hesitation.

"I won't do it for you, I'll only do it for Yinyin and Linglong."

"Give Linglong acupuncture? You brat, do you really want to die?"

Xia Yeran was shocked, never expecting Lin Ping to be so bloodthirsty.

If the king hadn't already arranged a marriage between the princess and Lu Jie, he would have really hoped that Lin Ping and the princess would get together.

"How can I treat her illness if I don't give her acupuncture?"

Lin Ping stared at Xia Yeran with a puzzled look, not understanding the meaning behind his words.

That seems to make sense; besides the epidemic, Xia Linglong also suffers from mental illness.

Only Lin Ping's acupuncture treatment could relieve her heartache.

"Then you should be careful when you give Linglong acupuncture, and make sure you don't miscalculate the date."

Xia Yeran kindly reminded him that he knew Lin Ping was a miracle doctor and that he shouldn't have made a mistake in this matter.

"Calculate the date? Tomorrow is perfect." Lin Ping said, puzzled.

Does injecting antibodies really require calculating the timing? Isn't he worried that Xia Linglong won't last more than a few days?

"Tomorrow? Oh no!"

Xia Yeran slapped her forehead and said urgently, "Tomorrow is Linglong's wedding to Lu Jie, the son of the Great General."

"what?"

Lin Ping was also taken aback, but then he understood the cause and effect and kept muttering to himself.

"Even if she has to die, do you want her to die in the General's Mansion? She is your daughter. The royal family really has no humanity."

His eyes were cold and sinister; Xia Yeran, several meters away, could feel the chill emanating from them.

For some reason, he felt no arrogance in front of this seemingly ordinary young man, and even felt a sense of fear.

He suddenly felt a chill for the king.

Xia Yiran lowered his head and remained silent, not wanting to put too much pressure on Lin Ping.

This is an alliance between the monarch and the general, and he can't even say a word. Lin Ping's chances are slim.

Xia Yeran didn't even understand why she was here; it was just a desperate attempt to find a cure.

He acknowledged that Lin Ping had some skill, but the other party was, after all, the king and the general, the highest symbol of power in the entire Yue Kingdom.

"This is a ten-thousand-tael silver note. I'll try my best to deliver it to the eunuch guarding the princess's bedchamber."

Lin Ping whispered a few words in Xia Yeran's ear.

Xia Yeran's eyes widened immediately; he hadn't expected such a vicious scheme.

He had to admire Lin Ping's strategy.

Of course, even if he could come up with this idea, he wouldn't have that much money, and it would be best if all his efforts failed.

Watching Xia Yeran leave in a hurry, Lin Ping calmed down again.

He needs to extract antibodies from the blood in the shortest possible time, which will not only take some time but could even endanger his life.

The antibodies in his body have reached saturation and cannot increase any further.

Using only one-fifth of the dose might not be enough to cure Xia Linglong's illness.

But if there were any more blood loss, he might go into shock due to excessive blood loss.

After all, if a person loses more than one-fifth of their blood, it will affect various bodily functions.

While Lin Ping was extracting the antibodies, Xia Yeran had already entered the palace and handed 10,000 taels of silver to a eunuch.

The man was trembling with fear, not because of the money, but because he was afraid of losing his life.

The eunuch asked Xia Yeran for a favor: to deliver the money to his parents so that even if he died, it wouldn't be considered unfilial.

Xia Yeran did as he was told, and he even felt that he was being a little cruel.

However, in order to complete Lin Ping's plan, he could not be soft-hearted.

Before long, a servant boy sneaked over.

This is the princess's palace; no unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach, not even high-ranking officials of the court.

Upon seeing the servant, the eunuch visibly perked up and was about to call out loudly for help.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, the servant rushed to the eunuch, smiling obsequiously as he pulled out a thousand taels of silver.

"My lord, my master has a question to ask." The servant still had a smirking expression.

"Your master?" the eunuch asked with disdain.

Although his official rank was not high, he was directly loyal to the monarch.

No matter how high the other party's master's status is, it can't be higher than his master's.

"I'm just a servant, there are some things I dare not say." The servant then took out another thousand taels of silver from his sleeve.

The eunuch then gave him a satisfied look.

"What's wrong with your master?"

"Our master is concerned about the princess's condition and wants to know if she has recovered."

"This is a matter of life and death, I dare not let you know that the princess has contracted the plague."

The eunuch gasped and whispered in the servant's ear.

"That's right, that's right. I was just asking casually, and I wouldn't dare to make things difficult for you, Your Excellency."

The servant ran off without looking back, eager to appear before the Minister of Rites and claim credit.

This is a major piece of news, and it is of great importance to the Minister of Personnel.

With this information, he could definitely rise to great heights.

In the residence of the Minister of Personnel, He Wei smiled coldly, "I didn't expect it to be an epidemic. No wonder you were in such a hurry to send the princess off to get married."

"I'm afraid Lu Zhan won't agree!"

These past few days, he's been worried sick. If the general and the king join forces, they might all be eliminated.

Therefore, Peter Ho will stop the wedding at all costs.

The enemy of my enemy can sometimes become a temporary friend.

Lin Ping knew what He Wei was thinking: he wanted to rely on He Wei's power to stop the wedding.

"After you finish what you did tomorrow, go down and collect your reward," He Wei said cheerfully.

The servant was overjoyed; he hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.

He can accomplish what he needs today, let alone what he needs tomorrow; he can already see the day he will rise to prominence.

Perhaps, he will have a place in the underworld.

He Wei did not immediately reveal the news; his intention was to embarrass the king on the wedding day and completely sever ties with the general.

When Lu Zhan learns that he has been deceived, he will organize a wedding. The king will lose face and will surely try every means to get rid of Lu Zhan.

He Wei's purpose was to sit back and watch the tigers fight.

When they are both severely weakened, that will be the time for him to close the net.

"Well done. When the Palace Master ascends the throne, you will surely receive your share of the benefits."

A dark figure slowly emerged from the corner, appearing silently behind He Wei.

He Wei broke out in a cold sweat and bowed with his back turned, saying, "Your subordinate will certainly live up to your expectations."

He seemed to feel another cool breeze, but when he turned around, the dark figure had already disappeared.

"Huff, huff, huff..." He Wei gasped for breath and sat down on the ground with a thud.

The pressure emanating from the other party was truly terrifying; every time He Wei met him, he felt as if he were on the verge of despair.

He had never felt this way, not even in front of the king.

For three years, he had been working for the other party, but he still did not know the other party's identity. Even when he sent people to investigate, there was no clue.

He only needs to understand one thing: once he harbors disloyalty, he will surely meet a terrible end.
