The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Thinking of this, she placed her hand on her chest, stroking the jade pendant hanging around her neck through her clothes, and thought to herself: Fortunately, Ziheng is just a merchant. However, when she returns to the capital, she still needs to make her views on marriage clear to him. She doesn't want to share her man with a group of women in a secluded mansion in the future, and also have to guard against all kinds of scheming.

The next day, the Emperor made public the matter of Consort Liang framing Consort Shu, and Consort Liang received the punishment she deserved.

The Empress, upon hearing the eunuch's report, clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand in anger.

"Consort Liang is useless. She couldn't even bring down Consort Shu, and she even got herself involved. What a useless fool."

Consort De, sitting below the Empress, comforted her, saying, "Sister, I've heard that this plan was devised by Doctor Xia."

The Empress's face was sinister: "It seems that this Xia Mu does have some skills. With her around, it will be difficult for us to bring down Consort Shu. If you block my path, I don't care if you are a medical genius or a medical saint, there is only one outcome."

At this moment, Li Muxia, who was removing the stitches from Consort Shu, had no idea that she had also been drawn into the power struggles of the harem.

"Your Majesty, your wound is healing very well. You will be able to resume your normal life in a few days after the stitches are removed."

Consort Shu was also overjoyed. After being tormented by illness for more than two years, she could finally live like a normal person.

"Yes, it's all thanks to you, Xia Mu. I really have to thank you."

Li Muxia looked at Consort Shu and smiled slightly: "It's all thanks to Your Highness's good cooperation that I recovered so quickly."

Consort Shu looked at Li Muxia and said, "You're just so good with words."

At this moment, a palace maid at the door announced, "Your Majesty, the Prince has arrived."

Consort Shu saw that Li Muxia had already taken care of things for her. While dressing, she said, "Quickly, let Feng'er in."

After Nangong Yufeng entered, he first bowed to Consort Shu, and then looked at Li Muxia. Li Muxia bowed in return, smiled, and looked up at Nangong Yufeng.

Consort Shu looked at her son staring blankly at Li Muxia, and couldn't help but realize that this silly boy was probably deeply in love.

However, he was quite satisfied with Xia Mu and was willing to help his silly son.

"The wind is here. I'm feeling much better lately. Xia Mu has been staying in this Shuyi Palace with me every day, which is quite boring. Let the wind take Xia Mu out for a stroll today."

Upon hearing Consort Shu's words, Li Muxia was overjoyed. She had long wanted to get some fresh air, as staying in the deep palace every day was indeed quite boring. Consort Shu's condition was under control, and she would recover after taking a few more doses of medicine. There was really no need for her to stay in the palace every day.

Seeing the joy in Li Muxia's eyes, Nangong Yufeng said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your command. I will definitely take Xia Muxia to experience the prosperity of our Nanling Kingdom."

Consort Shu looked at her son and chuckled: "You little rascal, alright, go on now."

Nangong Yufeng and Li Muxia then bowed and took their leave.

As soon as Li Muxia and Nangong Yufeng left the palace, a eunuch in the Empress's palace reported their whereabouts to the Empress.

"Hmph, finally out of the palace. Go, tell Prince Huai."

As soon as Li Muxia and Nangong Yufeng stepped out of the palace gate, Li Muxia stretched. These past few days, she had to stay in the palace and abide by the rules, which made her feel particularly uncomfortable. Finally, she could leave the palace and was no longer bound by those etiquette rules.

Nangong Yufeng shook his head with amusement at Li Muxia's actions: "Alright, I can spend the whole day with you. Where do you want to go?"

He didn't refer to himself as "this king," but rather as "I, an equal," which made Li Muxia feel even better. This was still her good friend, not the aloof and superior "King."

Li Muxia smiled playfully at Nangong Yufeng and said, "Of course, it's to let me experience the prosperity of your Nanling Kingdom."

For a moment, Nangong Yufeng was stunned by Li Muxia's smile. He could only ever see such a pure and bright smile on Li Muxia's face.

Nangong Yufeng spent the whole day with Li Muxia, accompanying her to the market, taking her out for a big meal, and in short, he accompanied her wherever she wanted to go.

As night fell and fewer people were on the streets, Li Muxia and Nangong Yufeng sat at a tea stall, looking at the moon hanging high in the sky.

Li Muxia: "Before we knew it, the moon was full again."

Looking at Li Muxia's profile, Nangong Yufeng asked, "Xia Mu, are you homesick?"

Li Muxia, still gazing at the sky, said, "I am a little homesick. Grandpa and the others should be eating right now. I wonder if they're thinking of me."

Nangong Yufeng looked at Li Muxia and said in a low voice, "You must be thinking about it. You're so cute, how could you not?" He spoke very softly after that, as if he were talking to himself and thought Li Muxia hadn't heard him.

However, Li Muxia still heard it and sensed the reluctance in Nangong Yufeng's words. She turned to look at Nangong Yufeng and said in a casual tone, "Then when I leave in the future, you must remember to think of me as your good friend."

Looking into Li Muxia's clear eyes, Nangong Yufeng was momentarily at a loss for words.

In her heart, they were just good friends.

I feel a little sad.

Seeing that Nangong Yufeng remained silent, Li Muxia sensed the somewhat melancholic atmosphere and said, "Alright, it's not like we'll never see each other again, and I haven't left yet, so don't be too sad. You can come visit me in the Eastern Kingdom later."

Even so, she knew that once they separated, it would be difficult for them to see each other again.

Looking at the sky, Li Muxia said, "Alright, it's getting dark. The palace gates will be locked soon, so I have to go back to the palace."

Seeing that Li Muxia also seemed a little reluctant to leave, Nangong Yufeng said, "There's no need to go back to the palace today. I've already sent someone back to tell Mother Consort."

Li Muxia's eyes lit up and she said, "Really? That's great!"

Seeing Li Muxia's happy expression, Nangong Yufeng's mood improved considerably: "Where would you like to go next? There's still some time before curfew."

Li Muxia suddenly spotted a spot at the end of the street: "That place looks pretty good, quite lively. Let's go check it out."

Nangong Yufeng looked in the direction Li Muxia was pointing, then looked at Li Muxia with some difficulty, unsure of what to say.

Li Muxia noticed the difficulty on Nangong Yufeng's face and asked, "What's wrong? Where is that place? Can't we go there?"

Nangong Yufeng nodded and said, "You really can't go there, that's a brothel."

I thought Li Muxia would give up after hearing this, but what I saw was Li Muxia's even more excited face.

"I've heard that the girls in the brothel are not only beautiful but also very talented. I've never been there before. Come on, let's go take a look, listen to some music, and have some tea." With that, she pulled Nangong Yufeng's arm and prepared to leave.

I was secretly relieved that I had changed into men's clothes today.
