Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Ye Li's encounter with danger at the Imperial Father-in-Law's residence caused the Four Gentlemen great concern.

They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ye Li emerge safely, but they hadn't even had a chance to speak to her yet...

The general then took Mu Nianchen away.

So the four brothers gathered around and asked Doctor Mu:

"Dr. Mu, what exactly did you say to the Imperial Father-in-Law? Why is he being so polite to you?"

The divine healer stroked his beard; he had been quite startled by his apprentice's fierceness back then...

So he briefly recounted the scene.

The emperor's father threatened them with their lives, trying to force them to obey him. Unfortunately for him, Ye Li was even more ruthless. She took a knife, held it to her own neck, and said, "I'd rather die a glorious death than live a shameful life."

After a long standoff, the Grand Tutor hesitated, and it was at this moment that Ye Li spoke up:

“Your Excellency, why not consider how many benefits you would gain if you kept me here? I am skilled in medicine, and I am adept at both epidemic prevention and health preservation.”

Upon hearing this, the emperor's father-in-law's pupils dilated, and he stared intently at her: "What are you saying?"

Ye Li: "For ordinary people, seventy or eighty is already considered a long life, and ninety is a blessing from heaven. But if you can follow my health regimen, I can help you live to one hundred and twenty years old, which is the latest age known to humankind."

Ye Li slowly analyzed, "I believe the Emperor's father-in-law also knows that when a person is born, they bring nothing with them, and when they die, they take nothing with them. No matter how wealthy one is now, without a long-lived body..."

"I'm afraid he won't enjoy much happiness..."

This topic directly hit the emperor's father-in-law's sore spot!

He had been unable to sleep for several nights, and the lack of sleep had slowed his thinking down.

As a person ages, the sensation of pain and ailments becomes increasingly pronounced.

Now, during the national war, he not only feels headaches, but also suffers from other ailments that are causing him unbearable pain.

Unfortunately, the doctor never dared to prescribe strong medicine, saying that he was afraid it would harm his body, so he was always kept at a gentle pace.

He looked at Ye Li for a long time, his expression unreadable, and said:

"How can I be sure you're telling the truth? You're just a little kid who's only studied medicine for a few days, yet you dare to talk about immortality?"

Ye Li calmly replied, "Since ancient times, hasn't the key to immortality been daring to think and act, and taking risks?"

"It seems the Imperial Father-in-Law is unwilling to gamble. That's fine too. My life is as insignificant as an ant's anyway. Even if I die here today, I will have no regrets. Let's do it..."

The emperor's father-in-law said, "You're not afraid of death? Aren't you afraid of implicating your master?"

"Are the Mu family of Cangshan like you, so prone to suicide?"

Ye Li looked at him and said, "It's not that I want to take my own life, but if I ruin the integrity of the Mu family for these things, I'm afraid no one will respect us anymore."

"A person should know himself. I don't ask for much, just that I won't be manipulated by others."

"From now on, the General's Mansion and the Imperial Father-in-Law's Mansion can openly compete for power, but they must never resort to underhanded tricks or the unpredictable method of poisoning..."

Seeing how daring she was today, the emperor's father-in-law realized that this woman was not someone to be trifled with.

He pondered for a long time, and decided that this wouldn't be a bad deal for him anyway.

The emperor's father-in-law said, "How can I believe that you can cure me and grant me immortality?"

Ye Li: "So-called immortality is just living a little longer than others. To live a little longer than others, one must endure hardships that ordinary people cannot bear..."

The Emperor's father-in-law: "What kind of hardship are you going to endure?"

Ye Li: "Abstaining from meat and alcohol, and maintaining a regular sleep schedule can lead to longevity. In addition, it is also important to have a balanced diet with sufficient nutrition."

The emperor's father-in-law was somewhat skeptical: "How could it be so simple? Are you trying to trick me?"

Ye Li smiled. "Simple? It's not simple at all. Throughout history, countless powerful and wealthy people have been accustomed to a life of luxury, and they would feel uncomfortable if they didn't eat meat for even a day. How much more so for them to abstain from eating meat and killing for years on end in order to achieve longevity?"

"This is beyond the reach of ordinary people. After paying such a high price, one can gain longevity by being a vegetarian for life. Isn't that fair?"

Ye Li's words were persuasive and persuasive; she painted a beautiful picture for the emperor's father-in-law.

Endure hardships that ordinary people cannot endure, and enjoy longevity that others cannot obtain.

Although the Emperor's father-in-law was unwilling to believe the words of such a young upstart, the offer was indeed too tempting!

The one less political enemy means one more chance at immortality; this deal is definitely not a loss!

Finally, the Grand Tutor said, "Very well! From now on, the Grand Tutor's Mansion will no longer attempt to assassinate or poison the General's Mansion. However, I can only guarantee what I know. If anyone else tries to kill Mo Chen, don't blame me."

The old fox, the Grand Tutor, made it very clear that he could instruct his men not to target Mo Chen.

However, he couldn't control what others wanted to do about Mo Chen.

Upon hearing this, Ye Li knew that the deal had been struck.

She calmly replied, "That's natural."

The two reached a deal: the Grand Tutor received the benefits, and Ye Li bought time for the General's Mansion.

After a pleasant conversation, all the guests were satisfied, and the emperor's father-in-law even saw Ye Li off. The two had a very pleasant chat, so when Mo Chen arrived with his troops, he saw the scene from that time...

……

After hearing this, the fifth brother suddenly realized: "So the female demon is so ruthless. I never knew that besides doing business, she could be so formidable in times like this."

Ah Yi asked with concern, "You said she was bleeding from her neck, is it serious?"

The master said, "No, she wasn't seriously injured. Since she started learning medicine from me, she's become very familiar with every part of the human body. I would never let her harm herself."

With that, Ah-Yi was relieved.

Ever since Mu Nianchen left the mansion, Mo Chen carried her straight back home.

Although they were about to become husband and wife, A-yi felt that the general's actions were quite inappropriate.

Mu Nianchen is a woman, and she is already behaving intimately with him before marriage, which makes it seem as if Mo Chen is taking advantage of her.

A-Yi felt a tightness in his chest, but he didn't know why he was unhappy. He couldn't understand it, so he said goodbye to Doctor Mu and prepared to go back...

-

General's Mansion.

Main courtyard.

Ye Li slowly woke up and saw Mo Chen sitting next to her, watching over her.

Ye Li felt a little embarrassed when she realized how stupid she had been, even bumping her head while walking.

She noticed the room was dark and assumed he must have been watching over her the whole time. Ye Li said to him:

"sorry."

"sorry."

Inside the room, the exact same voices rang out; the two of them simultaneously said sorry.

Ye Li suddenly realized that she might have been too sensitive before, which was why she had treated Mo Chen so badly.

On the other side, after seeing Ye Li wake up, Mo Chen hurriedly hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault! I didn't protect you well and made you suffer..."

Ye Li assumed Mo Chen was referring to his earlier attempt to confine her to the inner courtyard, so she apologized, saying, "I was wrong too. My attitude was terrible. I'm sorry..."

"I'll try to go out less in the future."

Mo Chen thought that even if he went out less, the child would never come back.

Mo Chen felt extremely guilty. He couldn't face Ye Li, so he made an excuse to go get her dinner and left in a hurry.

Ye Li sensed that something was off with Mo Chen, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

From that day on, Ye Li discovered that Mo Chen was actually avoiding her!

Mo Chen still cared about her basic needs, but he no longer felt any closeness to her.

In the past, she always needed to be held in Mo Chen's arms to fall asleep, but now Mo Chen was very well-behaved, and the two of them lay in bed sleeping separately.

Ye Li didn't know what to do, but she thought things would get better.

Unexpectedly, because the emperor sent Mo Chen to train a group of newly recruited military officers, Mo Chen sent someone to say:

"He's been very busy lately, so please don't wait for him to eat, Madam..."

Ye Li thought to herself: There's no reason for this; she was very clingy before.

Suddenly... he's ignoring me?

Is it possible...
