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

Dongfang Jincheng listened to the guard's words and fell into deep thought. He had a feeling that this matter was related to his previous assassination attempt.

There must be a huge conspiracy brewing here, but he really couldn't figure out who was behind it.

He had suspected that his elder brother, Prince Duan, Dongfang Jinyu, was involved, and sent people to investigate when the assassination attempt occurred, but found nothing unusual.

Either this matter has nothing to do with Dongfang Jinyu, or Dongfang Jinyu has hidden it too well.

Prince Chen, Dongfang Jinlin, never doubted him at all. From a young age, Dongfang Jincheng had always followed Dongfang Jinlin around. If you were to ask who Dongfang Jincheng liked the most before he was six years old, it would definitely be Dongfang Jinlin. Even after Dongfang Jincheng went away to study and became somewhat estranged from Dongfang Jinlin upon his return, he still knew Dongfang Jinlin's character very well.

Upright and honest are the hallmarks of Dongfang Jinlin. If he wants to achieve something, he will do so openly and honestly. He will not even resort to underhanded tactics behind the scenes, as his pride and strength would not allow him to do so.

If Dongfang Jincheng hadn't been the biological son of the Emperor's most beloved Empress, the Emperor's favorite son would definitely have been Dongfang Jinlin.

Just as Dongfang Jincheng was pondering who would do such a thing, there was a knock on the door: "Your Highness, dinner is ready."

Dongfang Jincheng's thoughts were interrupted, and he said to the outside, "I understand."

After the people outside left, Dongfang Jincheng stood up and ordered, "Have someone keep an eye on Tide Village."

When Dongfang Jincheng arrived at the canteen, there were already quite a few people inside, including their own people, the village chief, and some elderly people from the village.

Upon seeing Dongfang Jincheng, the previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

Everyone stood up and bowed to Dongfang Jincheng. Dongfang Jincheng waved his hand, signaling everyone to sit down.

Upon arriving at the head of the table, Li Muxia glanced at the food on the table, which was overflowing with dishes. In addition to the seafood they had caught that afternoon, Li Muxia had also prepared some other dishes.

Looking at Li Muxia sitting to his right, he said, "You did all of this."

Li Muxia: "Aunt Wang and the others also helped with it."

Dongfang Jincheng nodded, indicating that everyone could start eating.

At first, everyone was a little reserved, but after a few rounds of drinks, they all relaxed and opened up.

The village chief, holding a crab, said, "I never thought this thing was actually edible, and so delicious. We used to just throw it away when we caught it; now that I think about it, it was such a waste."

Another older villager added, "Yes, and this octopus. Nobody dared to eat it before, but I never expected the Immortal Healer to make it so delicious."

Listening to everyone's praise, Li Muxia noticed that Dongfang Jincheng didn't seem very enthusiastic about the octopus. Since she always wanted to share her favorite food with others, Li Muxia picked up an octopus and put it in Dongfang Jincheng's bowl.

"Your Highness, please try this, it's delicious."

Dongfang Jincheng was happy to see Li Muxia serving him food, but when he saw what was in his own bowl, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

Although the octopus was now cooked, seeing it reminded Dongfang Jincheng of what it looked like when it was alive—like snot, yes, like snot. Just thinking about it made him feel disgusted; how could anyone eat it?

He was reluctant in his heart, but his hands were honest. This was the first time Li Muxia had ever served him food. He would swallow anything, even poison, without batting an eye, let alone octopus.

However, after taking the first bite, he was extremely annoyed that he had actually disliked such delicious food. If Li Muxia hadn't put one on his plate, he would have definitely missed this dish today.

Seeing a slight change in Dongfang Jincheng's expression after eating the octopus, Li Muxia asked, "How is it? Delicious, right?"

Looking at Li Muxia's expectant eyes, Dongfang Jincheng nodded and said, "Not bad."

Li Muxia was satisfied and picked up another one for Dongfang Jincheng.

Then, she turned around and put one on Wu Chenze's plate as well.

Looking at the octopus in Wu Chenze's bowl, Dongfang Jincheng suddenly felt that the food in his mouth no longer tasted good.

Wu Chenze was engrossed in the delicious food when he saw the extra octopus in his bowl. He looked up at Li Muxia and showed her eight teeth.

Li Muxia returned the smile and asked, "So, what have you thought about what I told you before?"

Wu Chenze swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Of course I'm very willing, but I still need to go back and ask my parents for their opinions. But don't worry, my parents love me the most, and I'll be following the Immortal Doctor, so they will definitely agree. Don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Li Mucha patted Wu Chenze on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, don't worry, I'll protect you from now on."

Wu Chenze smiled at Li Muxia like a silly husky. It was only because Wu Chenze was good-looking that Li Muxia imagined him grinning like a goofy idiot.

Wu Chenze noticed that Dongfang Jincheng was also looking at them, and suddenly remembered what happened this afternoon, so he asked, "Your Highness, this afternoon you said that the village chief was looking for me, but when I came back and asked the village chief, he said that he had not looked for me."

Dongfang Jincheng said calmly, "Oh, perhaps I've misremembered."

Wu Chenze looked at Dongfang Jincheng, still waiting for him to explain. However, after Dongfang Jincheng finished speaking, he fell silent. Wu Chenze felt like he had been tricked, but he couldn't get revenge for himself.

After hearing Dongfang Jincheng's words, Li Muxia became suspicious. Could it be that Prince Rui deliberately sent Wu Chenze away?

However, thinking about it, it's probably impossible. That's the God of War, King Rui. How could he do something so childish?

Upon receiving Li Muxia's suspicious gaze, Dongfang Jincheng felt a moment of guilt. However, he quickly regained his composure and looked directly into Li Muxia's eyes, making her feel somewhat embarrassed.

Dongfang Jincheng watched as Li Muxia shyly lowered her head, not daring to look at him. A slight smile appeared on his lips. Did this mean that Li Muxia also liked him?

The other imperial physicians also began to ingratiate themselves with Li Muxia. After spending the past few days with her, they had witnessed her medical skills, which were indeed superior to theirs. She had her own insights into many ailments and could pinpoint the root of the problem incisively. Everyone was willing to exchange medical knowledge with her. Each exchange was highly beneficial to them.

Now, people no longer care whether Li Muxia is a real medical genius or not; regardless of her medical skills, everyone acknowledges them.

Some people even believe that Li Muxia is the real medical genius, and the previous one was fake. Although that person's medical skills were higher than those of the imperial physicians, after spending these few days with Li Muxia, they have always believed that that person is not as good as Li Muxia in terms of medical expertise or medical ethics and character.
