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

Li Muxia was awakened by Cui'er's voice, but her eyelids were too heavy to open, and her head was a little dizzy.

"Good Cui'er, stop calling, let your young lady sleep a little longer." Her voice was soft and weak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her throat felt like it had swallowed a razor blade.

At this moment, Li Muxia also realized that she was sick. She struggled to open the door a crack and looked at Cui'er, who was about to cry.

Cui'er: "Miss, you are sick. Hong'er, go and call the doctor quickly."

Hong'er, who was working outside, heard the noise and ran in. When she saw Li Muxia's appearance, she turned around and ran out.

Li Muxia weakly called out to her, "Hong'er, come back. Why call me doctor? Your young lady is the best doctor."

After saying that, he swallowed hard. Seeing this, Cui'er quickly went to the table and poured him a glass of water.

After drinking some water, Li Muxia felt a little better. Looking at the two of them, she said, "Hong'er, go and brew a bowl of ginger tea. Cui'er, go and get paper and pen. I'll tell you what to write."

The two followed Li Muxia's instructions. Before Hong'er left, Li Muxia stopped her and added, "Break up more ginger tea, and you two should drink a bowl too, so you don't catch it from me."

After Cui'er left, Li Muxia drank another cup of hot water, leaned against the bed, and weakly recited the names of the medicinal herbs. Cui'er felt sorry for her young mistress and didn't delay at all. Soon, she finished writing a prescription. Cui'er helped Li Muxia lie down and hurriedly went to get the medicine and brew it.

Li Muxia drifted off to sleep again in a daze, not even waking up when Cui'er fed him medicine.

Several groups of people arrived during Li Muxia's unconsciousness, but Li Muxia was unaware of it.

Li Muxia didn't wake up until lunchtime. Although she was still a little weak, she was able to get up and move around. She was no longer dizzy, and her fever had subsided.

As soon as she got up, she couldn't help but think about what happened last night, which made her increasingly confused. So she got out of bed and opened the window to let in some fresh air.

Looking out the window at the snow that had fallen all night, covering the world in a thick white coat, Li Muxia calmed down a little.

Cui'er brought in the medicine and saw Li Muxia standing in front of the window in her undergarments. She quickly put the medicine bowl on the table, took a cloak from the clothes rack and draped it over Li Muxia, muttering, "Miss, you're not well yet, how can you stand in front of the window dressed so lightly?"

As he spoke, he closed the window tightly.

Li Muxia pulled her cloak tighter; it was indeed getting chilly.

Cui'er helped Li Muxia sit on the bed, then went to the table to get a bowl. Li Muxia looked at Cui'er with amusement: "Cui'er, has anyone ever told you that you're like a housekeeper?"

While blowing on the medicine, Cui'er said to Li Muxia, "This servant doesn't want to be a housekeeper. This servant just wants Miss to be well."

Hearing Cui'er's words, Li Muxia felt a lump in her throat and a warm feeling in her heart. Suppressing the urge to cry, Li Muxia took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

After finishing her drink, she frowned and looked at Cui'er: "I'm so upset, little housekeeper, do you have any candied fruit?"

Cui'er looked at Li Muxia's face, which was contorted with bitterness, and felt both sorry for her and amused. She took out some candied fruit from her bosom and handed it to Li Muxia, saying, "Why is Miss drinking so fast? No one is forcing you."

After eating the candied fruit, Li Muxia felt a little better and joked, "It's not anything special, I'll just enjoy it all by myself."

Just as the master and servant were talking, Li Anran pushed the door open and came in.

Seeing that Li Muxia had woken up, Li Anran ran to Li Muxia, hugged her and started crying: "Sister, what happened to you? How did you get sick? Do you know how worried I was?"

Li Muxia patted Li Anran's back to comfort her, "It's okay, I'm all better now. I just caught a bit of a cold last night, it's nothing serious, I'll be fine after taking some medicine for a couple of days."

Nangong Huaiyuan came to the General's Mansion as soon as he returned from the palace. Dongfang Jincheng came with him, and Long Haonan naturally couldn't miss it either. Only Nangong Yufeng was absent because he was sick.

The old general received the group. At first, he didn't know why they had suddenly come to the general's mansion, but Dongfang Jincheng quickly explained it to him.

"General Li, yesterday the young lady went to the embassy to treat the Prince of Nanling. Prince Huai came to express his gratitude."

Long Haonan came every day, and the old general had gotten used to it, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"I see. However, it's unfortunate that Your Highness has come. Mu Xia is ill and still unconscious. I'm afraid she can't come out to receive guests."

Upon hearing this, the three asked in unison, "Is she sick?"

The old general was startled by the three men's tacit understanding. He nodded and said, "Yes, he caught a cold. He has already taken medicine and seen a doctor. It's nothing serious. He just needs to rest for a few days."

The three of them frowned in unison.

Dongfang Jincheng: Could it be that I scared her yesterday?

Long Haonan: He must have been infected by Nangong Yufeng.

Nangong Huaiyuan: What a coincidence! Could it be that you heard I was coming today and are pretending to be sick?

The three men were preoccupied with their own thoughts, and chatted casually with the old general. The old general noticed their distractedness and made up an excuse to send them away.

The three of them readily accepted their farewells and bowed to each other.

After escorting the two back to the embassy, ​​Dongfang Jincheng went straight to Li Muxia's courtyard.

As a result, he had just arrived and hadn't even seen Li Muxia when two people landed on either side of the wall. They were Long Haonan and Nangong Huaiyuan, who should have been at the embassy.

The three understood each other's intentions at first glance.

Dongfang Jincheng: What are you two doing?

Nangong Huaiyuan: "What is Prince Rui doing now?"

Long Haonan: "Since everyone knows the truth, there's no need to keep it a secret."

After glancing at the two of them, she continued, "I have two main purposes for coming to the Eastern Kingdom this time. One is to celebrate the birthday of the Emperor of the Eastern Kingdom, and the other is to arrange a marriage alliance. I have already chosen my bride, Li Muxia, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Huaiyuan continued, "Since that's the case, I'll be frank. When Li Muxia came to Nanling Kingdom before, she and I fell in love. However, she was unfortunately kidnapped by villains. My purpose in coming to Dongfang Kingdom is only one: to find my beloved."

Upon hearing Nangong Huaiyuan's words, Dongfang Jincheng and Long Haonan's forehead veins bulged; they had never seen such a shameless person.

Long Haonan retorted, not to be outdone, "Prince Huai, anyone with eyes can see that Mu Xia has no feelings for you whatsoever. Don't spout nonsense here."

Nangong Huaiyuan, with an air of utter indifference, said, "In that case, let's see who has the best skills."

Just as Dongfang Jincheng was about to say something, Li Muxia's door opened.

The three of them had sneaked away, so they quickly found a place to hide.
