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

The matter of the real and fake medical immortals has been temporarily put aside. Next, Master Chen will report on the epidemic situation to everyone, and Li Muxia will occasionally add a few words.

After listening to the report, Dongfang Jincheng frowned and said, "Although the spread of the epidemic has been brought under control, there is still no complete solution. Zhang Yuanpan, you and the Great Physician will take seven imperial physicians to take charge of the town's people. Xiao Yixian, you and I will take three other imperial physicians to Tide Village."

Li Muxia was also preparing to go to Tide Village, and unexpectedly, the two of them had the same idea.

Then he nodded.

Seeing Li Muxia nod, Dongfang Jincheng continued, "You have one more day to figure out the epidemic situation in the city. Little Fairy Doctor, you'll have to work hard today."

Li Muxia didn't think anything of it. Her original intention was to share the information she had compiled with the imperial physician before leaving, and she also wanted to resolve this epidemic as soon as possible.

"No problem, I've already prepared all the information. I'll explain it to everyone later."

Seeing Dongfang Jincheng's attitude towards Li Muxia, several imperial physicians felt somewhat resentful.

Especially the imperial physician who spoke up for the fake healer, was now consumed by jealousy: Why was it that this young man, barely out of his teens, could gain the favor of Prince Rui? He himself had studied diligently for years, overcome numerous obstacles to finally enter the Imperial Medical Academy, and now, in his thirties, he was merely a fifth-rank imperial physician. He had never received such treatment from the royal family.

That evening, Li Muxia finally finished handing over all the things she had prepared over the past few days, and even took the imperial physician on a tour of the various quarantine sites.

It's impossible for Li Muxia not to be tired; all she wants to do right now is lie in bed and have a good night's sleep.

When Li Muxia returned to the east wing of the government office, she saw Dongfang Jincheng standing in the moonlight with his back to her as soon as she entered the courtyard.

Li Muxia didn't know if she was tired or what, but for a moment, Dongfang Jincheng's back view actually overlapped with Long Ziheng's.

She almost called out the name she had been trying so hard not to think about these past few days.

Dongfang Jincheng sensed the person behind him and turned around.

Dongfang Jincheng didn't miss the fleeting disappointment in Li Muxia's eyes, and his heart tightened.

Seeing that Li Muxia's eyes were a little red, he asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Since there were only two people present, Li Muxia and Dongfang Jincheng stopped pretending.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired. Has Your Highness not rested yet?"

Dongfang Jincheng slowly walked towards Li Muxia: "Yes, I've been waiting for you."

Li Muxia: "......"

Dongfang Jincheng: "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go."

Only after Dongfang Jincheng said that did she realize that she really hadn't eaten dinner yet. She was so hungry that she hadn't even felt hungry before.

Li Muxia's stomach also cooperated by making two "gurgling" sounds. In this quiet space, the sound seemed especially loud.

Li Muxia... Awkward!

Dongfang Jincheng: Hold it in, don't laugh.

Dongfang Jincheng took the lead, and where Li Muxia couldn't see, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Li Muxia was only embarrassed for a moment; it was a physiological reaction that she couldn't control.

At the dining table, only Dongfang Jincheng and Li Muxia were present.

Originally, Master Chen had arranged for the imperial physician to be in the same courtyard as Li Muxia. However, Dongfang Jincheng used the excuse that they were going to Tide Village together the next day and needed to discuss preparations tonight, so he asked Master Chen to arrange for him to be in the same courtyard as Li Muxia.

Master Chen didn't think much of it; he did whatever Dongfang Jincheng said.

Li Muxia looked at the food on the table and asked, "Physician Zhang and the others haven't arrived yet?"

Dongfang Jincheng picked up his chopsticks, placed a piece of meat in Li Muxia's bowl, and said, "They don't eat here."

Li Muxia was somewhat resistant to Dongfang Jincheng's sudden intimacy: "Um, Your Highness, I can do it myself."

Upon hearing Li Muxia's words, Dongfang Jincheng paused and withdrew his hand.

"It was my presumption that led to this."

He almost forgot that he was now Dongfang Jincheng, not Long Ziheng.

There was a moment of silence at the dinner table. Perhaps feeling a little awkward, Li Muxia tried to start a conversation, saying, "Why would Your Highness come to the epidemic area in person?"

Dongfang Jincheng: "Father Emperor is worried that the epidemic will get out of control and there will be a riot among the people, so he sent me to suppress it."

Actually, it was supposed to be a general who led the troops, but Dongfang Jincheng received news from Qingyun at the Shadow Pavilion that Li Muxia planned to go to the epidemic area, so he volunteered to go.

Li Muxia: "I heard from Master Chen that when the city was first sealed off, some people did cause trouble. It was only after Lord Wen used some coercive measures that the people were subdued."

Dongfang Jincheng: "Wen Wencai did a really good job this time. When we get back, I will put in a good word for him with my father."

Li Muxia was stunned for a moment, not expecting that her casual conversation had actually secured a benefit for Lord Wen.

"Your Highness, actually Master Chen is quite good too. After Lord Wen was infected, it was Master Chen who took charge of the overall situation."

"Yes, Master Chen is also quite good. Once this matter is over, he will be rewarded according to his merits."

Li Muxia had a very good impression of Master Chen, and from their interactions over the past few days, she could tell that Master Chen cared about the people. Li Muxia was happy to be able to secure some benefits for him.

"Then I will thank Your Highness on behalf of Master Chen."

Seeing the smile on Li Muxia's face, Dongfang Jincheng's mood improved considerably.

The next morning, Dongfang Jincheng was waiting for Li Muxia in the courtyard.

As soon as Li Muxia opened the door, she saw Dongfang Jincheng looking at her with a smile in the courtyard.

Li Muxia suddenly felt a little dazed.

Is this smiling young man really the legendary, stern Prince Rui, Dongfang Jincheng?

"Breakfast is ready. We'll set off after we finish eating."

Hearing Dongfang Jincheng's gentle voice, Li Muxia was still somewhat incredulous, nodding blankly as she followed Dongfang Jincheng to the dining room.

Despite the table full of delicious food, Li Muxia couldn't taste anything.

Throughout breakfast, Li Muxia avoided Dongfang Jincheng's gaze.

She was now absolutely certain that Prince Rui had truly fallen for her.

Although she didn't have a lot of romantic experience, her intuition was still very accurate. Moreover, through her observation, it was clear that Dongfang Jincheng's attitude towards her was completely different from his attitude towards others.

After learning about Dongfang Jincheng's feelings for her, Li Muxia deliberately avoided him and tried to avoid being alone with him.

Tide Village is not far from Fuhai Town; they arrived in just fifteen minutes.

The village chief was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with dark skin and an honest appearance.

He was standing at the village entrance with a group of people, welcoming them.
