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

Upon hearing Nangong Huaiyuan's words, the carriage curtain was impatiently lifted, revealing a slightly sickly face—it was Nangong Yufeng.

Nangong Yufeng also saw Li Muxia in the crowd. His eyes lit up as he looked at her. Before he could speak, he coughed, "Cough cough, Xia Mu, is it really you?"

After seeing Nangong Yufeng, Li Muxia could tell that he had caught a cold and had probably had it for some time. Although she was a little worried, now was not the time to rush forward.

Nangong Huaiyuan continued to look at Li Muxia, but also noticed Long Haonan beside her. His eyes narrowed slightly. Long Haonan, the crown prince of Longteng Kingdom, why was he with Li Muxia?

Nangong Huaiyuan had already investigated Li Muxia and knew her identity. When the emperor of Nanling Kingdom came to Dongfang Kingdom to celebrate the birthday, he originally only sent Nangong Yufeng and the eleventh princess Nangong Yuqing. However, after learning about Li Muxia's identity, he found an excuse to come to Dongfang Kingdom as well. His purpose was to target Li Muxia. No one could escape from his grasp.

Nangong Huaiyuan kept staring at Li Muxia, making her feel uncomfortable. He said in a slightly mocking tone, "Ninth Brother, it seems that the person you've been thinking about has long forgotten you. Seeing you so sick, she didn't even bother to check on you. Moreover, it seems that she already has someone new by her side."

Nangong Yufeng frowned, looked at Nangong Huaiyuan, then at Li Muxia, and also noticed Long Haonan. He said in a reproachful tone, "She's not that kind of person."

Dongfang Jincheng watched the two brothers talking back and forth, and said somewhat impatiently, "Since you know each other, let's go to the embassy together."

This is on the street. If people were to suddenly discover Li Muxia's identity, it might lead to rumors that are detrimental to her.

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia had no choice but to go to the embassy as well.

Upon arriving at the embassy, ​​Dongfang Jincheng settled the people in and then sent the imperial physician to examine Nangong Yufeng, as he couldn't allow anything to happen to him in Dongfang.

Li Muxia was worried about Nangong Yufeng, so she went in with the imperial physician. Nangong Yufeng was indeed seriously ill, with a high fever and pneumonia. If they had come any later, it was hard to say whether he could have been saved.

Fortunately, the imperial physician who arrived recognized Li Muxia. He was Zhang Yuanpan, who had gone to help during the last epidemic. Zhang Yuanpan had a very good impression of Li Muxia and greatly admired Li Muxia's suturing skills. If he didn't have important business to attend to, he would have run to Li Muxia's side, grabbed his hand, and discussed medicine with the medical immortal.

Nangong Yufeng watched as Li Muxia discussed his condition with Zhang Yuanpan while writing something on a piece of paper.

After the two finished their discussion and Zhang Yuanpan left, he asked, "Xia Mu, what are you doing in the capital of the Eastern Kingdom?"

Seeing Nangong Yufeng's weak appearance, Li Muxia brought him a glass of water and said, "I am the eldest daughter of the Protector General's Mansion. Where else could I be if not in the capital?"

Although Nangong Yufeng had guessed that Li Muxia was from the Eastern Kingdom, he hadn't expected her to be a general's daughter. Then, as if remembering something, he glanced outside and gestured for Li Muxia to come closer.

Li Muxia also leaned her ear closer to Nangong Yufeng, who then whispered, "You have to be careful of your third brother. Originally, there wasn't a third brother among the envoys this time, but I don't know why he suddenly went to see Father before leaving and asked to come to the Eastern Kingdom. Moreover, on the way, I saw him carrying the medicine bottle that he had taken from you before. I don't know what he was thinking, but I have a feeling that he came to the Eastern Kingdom this time for you."

After saying so much in one breath, Nangong Yufeng was a little out of breath.

As Li Muxia helped him catch his breath, she pondered Nangong Yufeng's words and a bad feeling crept into her heart.

At this moment, Dongfang Jincheng, Long Haonan, and Nangong Huaiyuan appeared at the door. Looking at the two people, all three of them had rather unpleasant expressions.

Dongfang Jincheng said, "Muxia, it's getting late. You should go back soon, or General Li will worry."

Now that everyone present knew Li Muxia's identity, there was no need to hide it anymore.

Long Haonan, finding himself on the same side as Dongfang Jincheng, said, "Yes, I will send you back."

Nangong Huaiyuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two of them. It seemed that both the Crown Prince of Longteng Kingdom and the Prince of Zhansheng Rui of Dongfang Kingdom were interested in Li Muxia.

This is getting more and more interesting. I just wonder if these two love their power or their love more.

Li Muxia originally wanted to see Nangong Yufeng finish taking his medicine before leaving, but when she saw Nangong Huaiyuan next to Dongfang Jincheng, she wavered.

Nangong Yufeng also noticed Nangong Huaiyuan and wanted to avoid Li Muxia meeting with Nangong Huaiyuan to prevent any accidents from happening.

Nangong Yufeng said, "Yes, Xia Mu, Prince Rui is right. You should go back quickly. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia no longer hesitated and got up to say goodbye to Nangong Yufeng. However, when she walked to Dongfang Jincheng's side, she subconsciously moved away from Nangong Huaiyuan. Nangong Huaiyuan saw Li Muxia's wariness of him and found it amusing. He suddenly wanted to tease her.

“Miss Li, I am very grateful for your care of my ninth brother. After I meet with the Emperor of the Eastern Kingdom tomorrow, I will personally visit the General’s Mansion to express my gratitude.”

Sure enough, when Li Muxia heard Nangong Huaiyuan's words, her heart skipped a beat, and she became somewhat incoherent: "No, no need, Your Highness, there's no need to worry about such a small matter."

Dongfang Jincheng knew that Li Muxia was wary of Nangong Huaiyuan, but Long Haonan didn't know what had happened between the two. He could only sense from Li Muxia's words that Li Muxia was very afraid of Nangong Huaiyuan.

Upon hearing Li Muxia's answer, Nangong Huaiyuan suddenly moved closer to Li Muxia, but was blocked by Dongfang Jincheng and Long Haonan at the same time.

Dongfang Jincheng pulled Li Muxia behind him, not giving Nangong Huaiyuan any chance to harm Li Muxia.

He said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. You should rest early. Mu Xia and I will not disturb you any longer. Farewell."

Seeing their actions, Nangong Huaiyuan actually laughed out loud and said, "Very well, then I won't keep Prince Rui any longer. See you tomorrow."

This statement was ambiguous; it was unclear whether it was addressed to Prince Rui or to Li Muxia.

Watching the three figures leave, Nangong Huaiyuan's eyes slowly turned sinister.

Li Muxia, you won't escape this time.

Li Muxia felt a chill run down her spine for no reason, but she didn't dare to turn around and look.

Upon reaching the embassy entrance, Dongfang Jincheng suddenly cupped his hands to Long Haonan and said, "Your Highness, this is where you'll end your journey. You should also go back and rest. I will take care of escorting her home."

Long Haonan was surprised that Dongfang Jincheng would suddenly say these things. Just as he was about to try to persuade him, he heard Li Muxia say, "Yes, Crown Prince Long, it's getting late. The Prince Rui's residence is not far from the General's residence. I can go back with the Prince."

Upon hearing this, Long Haonan nodded, and looking at the backs of the two, he said to the air, "Go and investigate what happened between Prince Huai of Nanling Kingdom and the Immortal Physician Xia Mu or the eldest daughter of the Protector General's Mansion of Dongfang Kingdom."

The hidden guards received their orders and left.
