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

"Xia Mu, good news! The imperial court has sent people. I heard it's His Highness Prince Rui himself, and he brought ten imperial physicians with him. That's wonderful! The people are saved!" Master Chen rushed in, excitedly saying as he ran.

Li Muxia was taking the county magistrate's pulse when both of them heard what Master Chen said, and their faces lit up with joy.

Li Muxia: "Lord Wen, you don't have to worry about manpower now. Ten imperial physicians have arrived. His Majesty is taking this epidemic very seriously."

Lord Wen was almost in tears. He cupped his hands towards the east and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you. Long live the Emperor!"

Upon seeing this, Master Chen, who had just rushed in, also knelt down behind Lord Wen with a "plop" and joined him in shouting "Long live the Emperor!" three times.

When Dongfang Jincheng arrived in Fuhai Town with medicine and the imperial physician, Li Muxia went to the city gate with Master Chen to greet him. Lord Wen did not come because he was ill.

The moment Dongfang Jincheng rode into the city, his eyes locked onto Li Muxia in the crowd.

He ignored the cheers of the people lining the road.

Li Muxia looked up and met Dongfang Jincheng's gaze. Their eyes met, one filled with longing and affection, the other with joy and confusion.

Dongfang Jincheng dismounted, and a soldier nearby quickly took the reins from him.

"This humble servant pays his respects to Your Highness Prince Rui." Master Chen knelt down first, and then a whole group of people followed suit.

Although Li Muxia didn't want to kneel, everyone around her had knelt down, and she felt a bit out of place standing alone, so she knelt down as well. However, only she and Dongfang Jincheng knew whether her knees actually touched the ground.

Dongfang Jincheng smiled indulgently as he watched Li Muxia's clever trick.

"Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Master Chen led Dongfang Jincheng toward the county government office, introducing the people around him as they walked.

When he mentioned Li Muxia, he raised his voice: "Your Highness, this is the Immortal Physician Xia Mu. You don't know that since Xia Mu came, the epidemic has been brought under control. However, we are still short of manpower. Fortunately, you have come and brought so many imperial physicians with you."

When the imperial physicians heard Master Chen say that Li Muxia was a medical genius, they all looked at the physicians beside them.

That's right. This time, the fake doctor came along too. He was unwilling, but the emperor had issued an edict, and he dared not disobey, so he had no choice but to come.

Dongfang Jincheng glanced sideways at the back and said, "The Immortal Physician?"

Then, looking at Li Muxia meaningfully, he said, "I have also brought a physician with me."

Upon hearing this, Master Chen felt a little uneasy: What does this mean? Are there two medical geniuses in this world?

Li Muxia didn't speak, nor did she rush to explain her identity. On the contrary, some of the imperial physicians behind her couldn't recognize her.

Pointing at Li Muxia, he said, "This person must be an imposter."

This imperial physician had gotten along well with the fake physician when he was in the palace and had witnessed the fake physician's medical skills firsthand. Although they weren't as miraculous as rumored, they were still better than the fake physician's. Therefore, he was the first to stand up and clear the fake physician's name.

With the county government office just ahead, it would be inappropriate to discuss this matter on the street, and it would also easily arouse suspicion among the people.

Li Muxia said, "Your Highness, let's talk about it when we get to the county office."

Li Muxia did not disguise herself this time. Of course, she knew that Dongfang Jincheng knew her true identity, but she did not know whether Dongfang Jincheng knew her identity as the Immortal Physician.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jincheng nodded and said, "Xia Mu is right, this is indeed not the place to discuss this matter."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward.

Master Chen was now at a loss as to whom to trust, because he had witnessed Li Muxia's medical skills firsthand. Since Li Muxia's arrival, the epidemic had indeed been brought under control. Regardless of whether Li Muxia was a medical genius or not, her medical skills were recognized by everyone.

Master Chen approached Li Muxia and whispered, "Xia Mu, what's going on?"

Li Muxia smiled slightly at Master Chen and said, "Master Chen, as long as the people's illnesses can be cured, what does it matter who the medical genius is?"

After saying that, he ignored Master Chen and followed Dongfang Jincheng into the yamen.

Upon hearing this, Master Chen was convinced that Li Muxia might really be a fake. However, he was also convinced by Li Muxia's words. Yes, as long as this epidemic can be resolved, wouldn't it be better to have another medical genius?

With this in mind, Master Chen made up his mind that if Li Muxia's identity was exposed later and Prince Rui made things difficult for Li Muxia, he would definitely say a few good words for Li Muxia.

Once everyone arrived at the county government office, Dongfang Jincheng sat in the county magistrate's seat, looking down at the people below.

Upon seeing this, Master Chen quickly said, "Your Highness, shall I first report to you on the epidemic situation?"

Seeing that Master Chen wanted to let the matter of impersonating the Immortal Physician go, the imperial physician who had spoken earlier stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I think it would be better to first find out who the impersonator is."

Dongfang Jincheng didn't speak, but turned to look at Li Muxia.

Seeing that the people above were looking at him, Li Muxia said, "Your Highness, I think we should prioritize the epidemic. As for the matter of the real and fake medical immortals, we can investigate it after the epidemic is over. Besides, as long as the epidemic can be controlled, what does it matter who the medical immortal is?"

Upon hearing this, Master Chen quickly added, "Yes, Your Highness, it's best to prioritize the epidemic. Besides, since Xia Mu arrived, the epidemic has indeed been brought under control. What does it matter whether he's a medical genius or not?"

The imperial physician was about to say something when the fake healer beside him stopped him and shook his head.

The fake doctor had already concluded from Li Muxia's words that Li Muxia was probably also an imposter, which gave him more confidence. However, he also admired Li Muxia from the bottom of his heart. As a doctor, although Li Muxia was impersonating someone else, he was truly dedicated to treating patients and saving lives, and in terms of medical ethics, he had surpassed everyone present.

Dongfang Jincheng then spoke up, saying, "The Immortal Physician is right. Now is not the time to talk about these things. No matter who among you is the Immortal Physician, as long as you can cure the people's illnesses, what's wrong with having one more Immortal Physician?"

Seeing that Dongfang Jincheng was no longer pursuing the matter of whether the immortal physician was real or fake, the people below also shut their mouths.

An older imperial physician then spoke up, saying, "Then how shall we address the two physicians from now on?"

Dongfang Jincheng: "Since you two are both medical immortals, and we haven't been able to distinguish the real one from the fake one, let's both call you medical immortals."

After saying that, he pointed at Li Muxia and said, "For now, I'll call you Little Fairy Doctor."

Then he pointed at the fake doctor and said, "You are the Great Doctor."

Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless.

That's really simple and straightforward.

Cui'er and Hong'er: Prince Rui's naming method is comparable to that of Miss.
