The concubine is a man, and the illegitimate son of a divine physician has a spatial ability.

A tiny drop of blood spurted out and instantly stained the embroidered white cloth, like a blooming plum blossom. Yin Zijing quickly sucked the blood with her small lips to stop it. She put the embroidery frame back into the bamboo basket, stood up, and bowed: "Greetings, Third Uncle. What brings you here, Third Uncle? Please have a seat. How are His Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Wanyue?"

Yin Gui sat on the other side of the low couch, and Zhou Mama and Ruhe quickly knelt down to pay their respects: "Greetings, Third Master. May you have a long and healthy life."

Yin Gui said gently, "Get up, everyone! We're family, there's no need for so many rules and formalities."

Then Yin Gui picked up Yin Zijin's embroidery, looked at it, and said, "The embroidery is not bad."

Yin Zijing smiled awkwardly and said, "Third Uncle, please stop teasing Zijing. Tell me quickly, how are His Highness the Crown Prince and Wanyue doing?"

Ruhe quickly and efficiently cleaned up the small table on the low couch, set out fresh fruit and snacks, and served a pot of iced tea.

Yin Gui took a big gulp of cool tea to cool off from the summer heat before speaking, "Miss Wanyue's life has been saved; she just needs to recuperate properly. The same goes for His Highness the Crown Prince; he should also take good care of himself."

His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to claim he was seriously ill and secretly return to the capital. He said that the situation was already fraught with crisis, and no matter how difficult it was, he had to return to the capital to resolve the matter.

If he didn't find a way to return to the capital, he feared those people would target the disaster victims and refugees next. His Highness said the young lady would surely understand.

Yin Zijin nodded and said, "I can't be of much help. I understand His Highness's situation. Third Uncle, please prepare some emergency and effective medicine for His Highness. Let him carry it with him in case of emergency."

Yin Gui was eating the refreshing chilled watermelon with a silver fork when he heard what Yin Zijin said. He quickly replied, "You don't need to tell me that. I've already prepared it for His Highness the Crown Prince."

Oh! Right. His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to stay and take care of the disaster-stricken people. Many are sick or dead, and diseases can easily spread among them. We need to take preventative measures…”

He paused, his eyes filled with worry and determination: "Besides helping the sick people, we also need to prepare some herbal medicine to ensure we can respond promptly to any potential epidemics. At the same time, we must organize people to clean the places where the disaster victims live to reduce the spread of germs."

This is a big task, so Zijing's participation is needed. Doesn't Zijing want to study medicine? This is a perfect opportunity.

Yin Zijing immediately became excited: "Then thank you, Third Uncle. Zijing will definitely study hard."

Fearing that Yin Zijin's determination to study medicine was insufficient, Yin Gui said discouragingly, "Zijin, I'm not trying to discourage you, but studying medicine is a very difficult thing. If you are Zijin and you really can't persevere, I won't blame you."

"Zijin should just stay in her chamber and embroider, waiting patiently to get married."

Yin Zijing frowned, thought for a moment about what kind of vicious words these were, and then said firmly, "Third Uncle, don't worry, Zijing won't make any boastful claims. Third Uncle, just wait and see. But Third Uncle, there are many disaster victims, are there enough medicinal herbs?"

Yin Gui said, "Fu'an Temple is a royal temple, so it still has some medicinal herbs. His Highness the Crown Prince said that he will quietly return to the capital tonight and transport the herbs and grain over in two days at the latest."

In my eyes, there are no political parties, no power struggles. I am a doctor, and as the saying goes, a doctor should have a benevolent heart. I will quickly procure medicinal herbs from a nearby county to treat the disaster victims.

Yin Zijing thought to herself, "It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince's return to the capital will be another tough battle. To procure medicine and food, we must reach the Emperor's ears and resolve the matter of embezzlement, which could potentially involve many other issues." Yin Zijing felt a headache coming on just thinking about it…

Yin Zijing suddenly felt a sense of admiration for Yin Gui, and quickly stood up, bowed and said, "Third Uncle, you are very righteous, I admire you. Starting tomorrow, I will follow you and learn from you."

Yin Gui patted Yin Zijing's head and said affectionately, "Tomorrow, Zijing, you will stay by my side and learn how to treat external injuries. Learn some important but common prescriptions, and start by learning simple things like dispensing and decocting medicine."

If you have time, your third uncle will teach you to read and write. You're not a little kid anymore, so you need to study hard. I'll come pick you up at the end of the morning tomorrow..."

Yin Zijing nodded and said, "Zijing has noted it down. Zijing will be ready by the end of Mao Shi (5-7 AM)."

Yin Gui straightened his robe, stood up and said, "Alright, I've said what I needed to say. I'm leaving now to check on the situation of the disaster victims."

Yin Zijin also stood up, bowed, and said, "Seeing off Third Uncle."

Granny Zhou and Ruhe immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Respectfully seeing off Third Master..."

Yin Gui waved his hand, signaling the two to get up. After Yin Gui left the room, Zhou Mama and Ruhe stood up.
