Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

The sky is clear and cloudless.

Rarely good weather.

After the carriage arrived at the Imperial Father-in-Law's residence, Ye Li got off and discovered that all the main gates of the residence were open.

The servants in the mansion bowed their heads respectfully, waiting for them to enter.

This show of force certainly gave them a lot of face.

Unfortunately, the Divine Physician Mu was quite arrogant and disdained these common customs.

Needless to say, Ye Li was also Mo Chen's political enemy, so she didn't care about these formalities.

The master and apprentice walked proudly through the gate and headed towards the main hall.

When the Emperor's father-in-law saw them, he warmly greeted them, saying, "I have long heard of the Divine Physician Mu's superb medical skills. It is truly an honor to meet him today."

The divine physician Mu also offered a compliment: "Your Excellency, Father-in-law, are indeed handsome and dashing."

After hearing this, the emperor's father-in-law frowned and said with concern:

"As people get old, they become less capable, and now I suffer from insomnia every night. That's why I sent an invitation to Physician Mu to come to my home and take a look at me and treat me."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Mu didn't hesitate and immediately took his pulse.

The divine physician Mu frowned and remained silent for a long time, which frightened the emperor's father-in-law.

The emperor's father-in-law asked anxiously, "Is it very serious?"

As the divine physician took her pulse, he said:

"I guess I'm getting old, I've completely forgotten what medicine I need for this condition..."

Upon hearing this, the emperor's father-in-law's heart skipped a beat, and then the divine physician Mu continued:

"Fortunately, my apprentice now has a legitimate reason to learn from me, and she can even cure the plague. But let her take a look."

The emperor's father-in-law seemed unconvinced: "She's just a child, how much ability could she possibly have? Let Doctor Mu help me think of a solution."

The divine physician Mu laughed and said, "Father-in-law, you are mistaken. As the saying goes, the younger generation is truly formidable."

"Although my apprentice is a girl, she was the one who cured the plague that swept the country this time."

"People eventually grow old. Now that I'm old, if I prescribe the wrong medicine, it would mean that the Emperor's father-in-law has wasted all his efforts..."

Having served in the court for many years, how could the Emperor's father-in-law not understand the hidden meaning in Physician Mu's words?

The Divine Physician Mu was implying that he couldn't cure the disease, thus shifting the blame to his disciple, Mu Nianchen.

Now that Mu Nianchen is about to marry into the Mo family, the Imperial Father-in-Law's family and the Mo family are in opposition in terms of military power.

Now that she is about to marry him, the positions of herself and Mu Nianchen have become very delicate.

Whether Mu Nianchen is willing to put his heart into saving him depends entirely on his attitude.

It's clear that Doctor Mu's actions are paving the way for his apprentice!

The Grand Tutor hesitated and said, "In that case, we will trouble Physician Mu's disciple."

Mu Nianchen walked forward calmly and then directly took the pulse of the Grand Tutor.

Unlike the mysterious Doctor Mu, Mu Nianchen didn't feign mystery. After taking the pulse, she said directly:

"It can be cured."

Upon hearing this, the emperor's father-in-law finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was quite generous, saying, "Young lady, if you heal me, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold."

Ye Li smiled:

"I won't beat around the bush. If you're not targeting the General's Mansion, I'll treat you. But if you insist on dealing with Mo Chen, I have no obligation to heal you."

This direct threat immediately displeased the emperor's father-in-law.

His power was immense, not only because his daughter entered the palace as empress, but also because he himself was a general who protected the country.

The emperor's father-in-law and Mo Chen's father, one in the south and one in the north, were both military generals who led troops into battle, with countless lives on their hands!

He frowned and said dismissively, "Believe it or not, you won't be leaving this room today without my permission!"

"It's as if you'd let the General's Mansion go even if I cured you? You orchestrated the assassination attempt and poisoned Mo Chen. Now that we're at odds, what harm is there in adding fuel to the fire?" Ye Li calmly analyzed.

Her voice was calm and clear, quite unlike that of an ordinary young lady.

The emperor's father-in-law's face turned ashen. He glared fiercely at Mu Nianchen: "You've got some nerve!"

He slammed his hand on the table, and instantly many guards rushed into the main hall. They drew their swords and faced Mu Nianchen with their knives drawn!

Mu Nianchen was not afraid at all. She calmly replied, "I'd rather be a broken piece of jade than a whole piece of tile."

"It's a pity that if I die, there will really be no one to cure your illness, Your Excellency."

The emperor's father-in-law sneered: "In all the world, are you the only one with the best medical skills?"

Ye Li lowered her eyes: "It doesn't matter, my life is insignificant, but Your Excellency, you are a pillar of the nation. If you were to perish with me, wouldn't it be a real pity..."

After saying that, Ye Li drew her sword and held the dagger to her own neck, saying, "If I can make the Grand Tutor of the State accompany me in death, then my life will not have been in vain."

The blade was sharp, and Ye Li was just as ruthless to herself; the blade cut her skin, and a trickle of blood seeped out.

The situation suddenly reversed!

Even the divine physician Mu hadn't expected his apprentice to be so reckless!

Before the fight even started, Mu Nianchen unleashed his ultimate move!

The divine physician Mu urged, "Nianchen, what are you doing?!"

Mu Nianchen smiled faintly at his master and said:

"Death is inevitable for everyone, but some deaths are as light as a feather and as heavy as Mount Tai. Now, the Emperor's father-in-law wants to threaten me, and I do not want to be coerced."

"How can we not let him witness the spirit of the Cangshan Mu family?"

Ye Li knew that her master was also proud, and that his help this time would inevitably offend the emperor's father-in-law, so Ye Li was very grateful.

Since that's the case, we should discuss this in the name of the pastoral family.

She not only had to protect Mo Chen, but also the Mu family.

The emperor's father-in-law's expression shifted between light and dark.

He stared at Mu Nianchen, as if assessing whether she dared to do it.

But Ye Li looked him straight in the eye, unafraid. No matter what world you're in, even the ruthless are afraid of the reckless.

Ye Li is not afraid of death now; if she dies, she can travel back in time.

I'm staying here only to repay a debt of gratitude.

Ye Li was gambling. She was betting that the Emperor's father-in-law wouldn't dare to take the risk. He hadn't even had enough of the power he was in, so how could he be willing to fall so quickly?

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, the divine physician Mu quietly looked at the emperor's father-in-law and said:

"If my disciple suffers even the slightest injury, my Cangshan Mu family will never serve the imperial court again!"

The Emperor's father-in-law and Ye Li were at loggerheads, neither willing to back down.

The guards beside him held their swords, ready to strike...

-

the other side.

Mo Chen's eyelids had been twitching all day, and he had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

He joined the army as a teenager and has survived to this day thanks to his keen sense of danger.

Mo Chen was extremely anxious, so he didn't stay in the military camp and went straight back to his residence.

He immediately went looking for Ye Li as soon as he got back, only to find that Ye Li was gone!

Mo Chen was very flustered. He searched the general's mansion from top to bottom and finally came to the guest courtyard.

Mo Chen hurriedly asked A-Yi, "Where is Nian Chen?"

When A-Yi saw him return, she asked curiously, "The Imperial Father-in-Law's Mansion? Weren't we supposed to be dealing with the Imperial Father-in-Law today? Why did you come back alone?"

The second and third brothers chimed in, "Yes, didn't Miss Nianchen go to the Emperor's father's residence with you?"

Mo Chen asked incredulously, "What did you say? She went to the Emperor's father-in-law's residence?"

He slammed his fist into the pillar and asked, "What happened?!"

Seeing that the others were still in the manor, Mo Chen sent his wife alone to the wolf's den.

His forehead veins bulged instantly, and he roared in fury, "She's just a woman! How could you let her go alone?"

Xiao Wu retorted, "No, Miss Nianchen said she went with Master..."

Second brother: "What, General, you seem to know?"

Third brother: "Didn't Miss Nianchen mention to you? We've been plotting against the Emperor's father-in-law lately..."

Ah Yi finally realized what was happening!

Something's not right...

A-Yi asked Mo Chen, "Did Mu Nianchen not discuss this matter with you at all?"

"She made her own decision, didn't she?"

In an instant, everyone realized!

Mu Nianchen bypassed Mo Chen and decided to take action against the Emperor's father-in-law on her own. Mo Chen was unaware of her plan to hire the Four Gentlemen to assassinate him.

So now, Mo Chen knows that she went to the Emperor's father-in-law's mansion.

After everyone realized what was happening, they all rushed out the door!

They headed straight towards the residence of the Emperor's father-in-law...

She is in great danger right now!!!
