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

While the old general hesitated, Li Muxia and Dongfang Jincheng exchanged glances.

Li Muxia: What's wrong with you?

Dongfang Jincheng: It's just like what you see.

Li Muxia: Why didn't you say so beforehand?

Dongfang Jincheng: If I told you, would you still come?

Li Muxia: You...

Dongfang Jincheng: Don't you want to marry me?

Li Muxia: ……

The scene was too quiet; everyone looked like onlookers.

Wei Shuyue's face was already contorted with ugliness, but no one noticed him at that moment.

Dongfang Jinlin looked at Dongfang Jincheng and Li Muxia with disbelief.

He simply couldn't understand why Dongfang Jincheng, who had always kept women at arm's length, would suddenly and so bravely confess his feelings in public. If she accepted, that would be fine, but if she rejected him, he would become the laughingstock of Kyoto.

But will Li Muxia agree?

Long Haonan's face was extremely grim, and he could only pray that Li Muxia would not agree.

Nangong Huaiyuan wasn't bothered; whether Li Muxia ultimately agreed or not wouldn't affect his plans. However, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

The women who liked Dongfang Jincheng also watched Li Muxia and the old general nervously, afraid of seeing them nod in agreement.

Just then, Dongfang Jinxuan coughed lightly, breaking the deathly silence.

"General, my third brother is still waiting for your answer."

The old general then looked at Li Muxia with a troubled expression: "Muxia, what do you mean?"

Li Muxia was conflicted. If she didn't agree, she knew she and Dongfang Jincheng were truly in love, and there was no need to hide it now. Besides, Dongfang Jincheng would definitely hold her accountable later. If she agreed, she felt like she was being forced into it. She just felt uncomfortable.

Seeing the old general's gaze, Li Muxia blushed and lowered her head, whispering, "Muxia will listen to Grandpa."

With this appearance, what else is unclear?

The old general, while wondering when the two had gotten together, looked at Dongfang Jincheng and said, "His Highness Prince Rui is an exceptional man. It is Mu Xia's good fortune to have gained his favor. However, this old minister does not wish to wrong Mu Xia. If Your Highness is truly sincere, please ask the proper matchmakers to come and propose marriage."

After hearing the old general's words, everyone was shocked and immediately agreed.

Dongfang Jincheng looked at the old general with shining eyes and said, "I have already had an auspicious date chosen, and I will bring a generous betrothal gift to propose marriage on that day."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor clapped his hands in delight. However, he did not bestow a marriage upon the two, as he had promised the old general before. But there was no need to bestow a marriage now.

Before the Emperor could say anything, Long Xinya angrily shouted, "This princess disagrees!"

Everyone looked at Long Xinya with expressions as if she were an idiot.

You disagree? What right do you have to disagree?

Long Hannan quickly stepped forward and pulled Long Xinya back, apologizing to the Emperor as he did so: "Your Majesty, Huangmei has been traumatized and is somewhat irrational. Please forgive her."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor's brows, which had been furrowed because of Long Xinya, slowly relaxed, though he said with some displeasure, "In that case, send the Third Princess to rest."

Long Xinya wanted to say something, but Long Hannan silenced her by pressing her pressure point. She looked at Long Hannan in disbelief.

Long Haonan simply summoned his servants to take Long Xinya away.

Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a young eunuch swaggered in from outside the main hall.

He knelt down in the center of the hall with a thud, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Sixth Prince is in trouble."

Upon hearing this, the emperor stood up abruptly and demanded, "What's going on?"

Consort Feng also stood up and asked, "Xiao Luzi, what happened? Where is Lan'er?"

Her face was already somewhat pale; that was her only son since she had been in the palace for so long.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Luzi recounted what had happened.

It turned out that ever since the giant pandas from the Southern Barbarian tribes were taken away, Dongfang Jinsheng and Dongfang Jinlan had been wanting to see them. In the end, the two couldn't resist and secretly ran out. Consort Feng and Consort De thought that the two children were bored in the main hall and went out to play. Since they had eunuchs and maids with them, they didn't take it seriously.

As a result, the two went to the place where the pandas were kept. At first, they were just playing with the pandas, but somehow, the sixth prince suddenly went to take the panda's toy—a rattan ball. As a result, the panda thought that the sixth prince was trying to steal its things, so it slapped the sixth prince with its paw. The sixth prince's clothes were torn by the panda, and it also scratched a big gash on the sixth prince's arm. The sixth prince was scratched by the panda and was frightened, so he fainted on the spot.

After hearing this, the Emperor and Consort Feng asked anxiously, "Has the imperial physician gone?"

Xiao Luzi: "Judge Zhang has already gone."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor disregarded the people in the hall and got up to walk outside.

Walking up to Xiao Luzi, he said in an annoyed tone, "Aren't you going to lead the way?"

As soon as the emperor left, everyone became restless and followed him out.

As Imperial Physician Zhang was cleaning the Sixth Prince's wounds, he quickly bowed when he saw the Emperor approaching.

The Emperor rushed forward to check on the Sixth Prince's condition, waving his hand impatiently, telling Physician Zhang to stop being so polite and to treat the Sixth Prince immediately.

When Consort Feng saw the Sixth Prince's condition, she rushed to his side with heartache, but dared not touch his body.

After the wound was almost cleaned up, Physician Zhang frowned as he looked at the Sixth Prince's wound. In this situation, only some wound medicine could be used, but the Sixth Prince's wound was quite deep, and the bone could be vaguely seen. Seeing that Physician Zhang was about to pour the wound medicine onto the Sixth Prince's wound, Li Muxia quickly spoke up to stop him, saying, "Physician Zhang, wait."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Li Muxia.

Li Muxia squeezed out of the crowd. Zhang Yuanpan looked at Li Muxia and felt that she was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

"This lady is..."

Upon seeing this, the Emperor frowned, remembering that Li Muxia seemed to have been apprenticed to the Sage of Medicine.

They immediately grasped at a straw and wanted Li Muxia to come and take a look at the Sixth Prince.

Before the Emperor could even finish speaking, Feng Jingxin stepped forward.

"Li Muxia, what are you doing? The Sixth Prince is in critical condition, and you dare to stop Imperial Physician Zhang."

Li Muxia thought she would be reprimanded by the Emperor, but to her surprise, the Emperor looked at her with a face full of anger.

Suddenly, Feng Jingxin felt a wave of unease. She couldn't understand why the Emperor didn't blame Li Muxia for delaying the rescue, but instead blamed her.

The Emperor said, "Li Muxia, come quickly and take a look at Lan'er."

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, Feng Jingxin disapproved, saying, "Your Majesty..."

As a result, Feng Bowen pulled her back as soon as she finished speaking.

"Jingxin, don't be rude, come back right now."

Feng Jingxin was unwilling to let such a good opportunity to strike at Li Muxia slip away, but she couldn't disobey her grandfather.

She returned to Feng Bowen's side reluctantly.

At this moment, Judge Zhang also remembered, and looked at Li Muxia with disbelief, stammering, "You, you are the Immortal Physician."
