Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Lu Wanning adjusted the head ornaments on her head and slowly thought of a solution.

Since entering the Second Prince's territory, she has been taken to dress up and is now preparing to go to the bonfire banquet.

Seeing that Ye Li wasn't very optimistic about the banquet, and reminding herself that she had married far away to another country, she also said with concern:

"Then what should I do? Should I remain patient and bide my time, or... become arrogant and spoiled?"

Ye Li picked up a comb and smoothed the ends of her hair, saying:

"Now that you are a princess of Tian Shu Kingdom, the savior of the Second Prince, and have even gifted him a rare eagle..."

"He now regards you as his favored concubine and values ​​you highly, so naturally he doesn't need to be mindful of others' feelings..."

"It would be best to let them know that you are not only yourself, but also represent the Tian Shu Kingdom."

Lu Wanning looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes sparkling, and said in a deep voice:

"I understand. You'll be with me from now on."

"Yes."

The two slowly walked out of the room. Lu Wanning was dressed in her finest attire; this was her first appearance in a grassland tribe.

Everyone will be here today, and the second prince will introduce her to the tribe members, so there is no room for error.

The tent where the grassland king was located was the largest tent, and it was packed with guests, making it a lively place...

Outside, a group of people sat around a bonfire burning on the sand in the center. Lamb was roasting over the fire, sizzling and dripping with oil. The person in charge of roasting the lamb skillfully sprinkled seasonings on it, and the enticing aroma instantly spread...

Everyone cheered in unison, eagerly anticipating the roasted whole lamb.

"The King of the Grasslands is mighty!"

"The King of the Grasslands is mighty!"

"The King of the Grasslands is mighty!"

Amidst the enthusiastic atmosphere, Ye Lilian moved gracefully and followed Lu Wanning respectfully. Lu Wanning's seat was next to the Second Prince, and as soon as she entered, everyone warmly stood up to greet her.

Lu Wanning greeted the people of the grassland with ease, neither arrogant nor timid. The second prince was very satisfied with her poise and grace.

The grassland king had already met his daughter-in-law before, but since he was traveling light in the caravan, he found Lu Wanning, who was dressed in her finest attire, quite pleased and said:

"That's right, you married a good wife."

Seeing his father's satisfied smile, the second prince finally felt relieved and then led Lu Wanning to toast his mother:

"Mother, this is Wan Ning. From now on, she will serve you with me."

The second prince's mother was unusually happy today. She hurriedly drank her wine and exclaimed, "Good, good, good..."

"They're all good kids, take her to meet your brothers..."

"Yes……"

The second prince led Lu Wanning to meet with each of their relatives.

Ye Li followed behind them, holding a wine glass, ready to refill Lu Wanning's glass whenever possible.

Just then, an announcement was made at the door:

"The eldest prince has arrived!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than two people carried in a stretcher, on which a man sat as he was carried in by others.

This person has deep-set, beautiful eyes and is undeniably handsome, yet his expression is cold, his complexion is unnaturally pale, and his fingers and wrists are thinner than average...

Ye Li observed the man out of the corner of her eye and concluded that something was wrong with his health.

Then two subordinates put the prince's arms on his shoulders, lifted him up, and placed him in the upper left seat below the throne.

The two servants were quick and efficient, as if this was commonplace for them. After settling the eldest prince in, they covered him with a blanket.

Ye Li guessed that the eldest prince of the grassland tribe must have difficulty moving around—unfortunately, his legs were covered by a blanket, so she couldn't see them clearly.

The second prince's smile widened upon seeing his elder brother. He grasped Lu Wanning's hand, stepped forward slowly, and said with a smile:

"I was worried that my brother wasn't coming. I was concerned about whether I should ask a shaman to take a look at him. But seeing that he looks well, I'm relieved..."

"Come, Wanning, this is my elder brother. You're new here, so you must properly toast him..."

The second prince filled the cup with wine, but just as he was about to offer a toast, he suddenly realized what he had done, slapped his forehead, and said with annoyance:

"Oh dear, look at my memory... Big brother can't drink alcohol anymore, so as his younger brother, I can only express my feelings in this way..."

After saying this, the second prince finished his drink and urged Lu Wanning to drink hers in return:

"My brother is injured and shouldn't drink too much, so I don't think he'll make things difficult for Wan Ning, right?"

The second prince talked on and on, but his elder brother hadn't uttered a word since he came in, sitting there like a stone statue.

Lu Wanning was unsure what attitude to adopt when the woman beside the Grassland King spoke up:

“I thank Aodun on behalf of China for his kind intentions. Today is your wedding day, so please go and attend to your business.”

The second prince turned his head and said respectfully, "Since the Queen says so, I will not disturb my brother any longer."

"Wanning, let's go see the others."

Ye Li followed them away, and as she passed the eldest prince, she still secretly glanced at his legs...

Unexpectedly, a sharp gaze shot over like an arrow!

Ye Li trembled, and when she looked up, she found the eldest prince glaring at her coldly.

If looks could be transformed into sharp blades, she had no doubt that she would already have dozens of holes pierced through her by now...

But...so what?

With the secret techniques of the Divine Healer in hand and the support of the sacred beasts of the temple, Ye Li naturally had no fear of a mere prince from a tribe.

She deliberately shrugged at the eldest prince, then turned and followed Lu Wanning.

Since the eldest prince was injured, no maid had ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of him...

He stared at her retreating figure, seemingly indifferent as he lowered his head, but a murderous intent silently welled up within him...

After the banquet, all the guests were completely won over by Lu Wanning, and thus she truly gained a foothold on the grassland.

Back at their residence, Ye Li helped her remove her hair, wash up, and go to bed.

Lu Wanning exclaimed in surprise, "Say that again?!"

Ye Li repeated, "I said, we must find a way to save the eldest prince and cure his illness."

Lu Wanning tilted her head, carefully recalling what she had seen and heard today:

"The First Queen is clearly out of favor, and the First Prince is suffering from a serious illness. Now the Second Prince's mother is stealing the show at the banquet, which shows that she is the King of the Grasslands' favorite concubine. I am on the Second Prince's side, so why should I help the First Prince?"

Ye Li thought to herself:

Because I want to accumulate merit, I have no choice but to do good deeds.

But of course, she couldn't say this to Lu Wanning, so she made up an excuse:

Anyone can kick someone when they're down, but offering help in times of need is a true act of kindness. You're new here, and right now you only see the beautiful flowers in full bloom. Without outside help, the favor you receive is just a mirage...

"Then why the eldest prince? The second prince clearly wanted to humiliate him today..."

Ye Li replied:

"Because the grassland king values ​​the eldest prince, if the eldest prince can recover, he will be indebted to the second prince and will not kill the second prince in the future. Rather than having another enemy, it is better to create an ally."

"That's what they say, but how can I save him? I don't know any medicine..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Wanning immediately thought of the person with exceptional medical skills right in front of her.

She looked at Ye Li, and finally sighed. Whatever Mu Nianchen's true purpose was, she had no choice but to comply now.

"Then tell me, what should I do? I can't just run up to you and say, 'My maid is the world-renowned Regent's Consort, Mu Nianchen, the adopted daughter of the Divine Physician Mu, and she's here to treat your illness,' can I?"

Ye Li raised an eyebrow and smiled:

"That's easy. To verify medical skills, all you have to do is find a few patients and spread the word, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanning feigned illness the next day...

For several days in a row, the Second Prince's wife's room was in chaos. Servants were coming and going, busily working on the medicine stove. Every time it was time to eat, the bitter smell of medicinal herbs would waft out.

The second prince was very worried and visited Lu Wanning every day.

Lu Wanning's illness came on strangely. She said that she was new to the place and was not used to the local environment, so she used a folk remedy from her family, hoping it would cure her and reassure the second prince.

But after several days of treatment, his condition did not improve; in fact, it worsened...

Gradually, even bad rumors began to circulate.

When the second prince saw that his own remedy couldn't cure her, he invited a shaman from a grassland tribe. The shaman prescribed medicine, but after taking it for more than half a month, Lu Wanning grew thinner and thinner, showing no improvement whatsoever...

The second prince became anxious and began to summon itinerant doctors from the grasslands to treat his wife's illness.

Herdsmen travel to different regions, and sometimes different herbs produce different medicinal effects. Experienced herdsmen can eventually treat their own wounds and even become itinerant doctors.

Upon hearing this news, many itinerant doctors came to apply for the job, but despite the hefty reward, the Second Prince's wife still did not see much improvement.

Everyone was at a loss. The matter even alarmed the King of the Grasslands, who came to visit her twice and told her to take good care of herself.

Just then, a maidservant from the Second Prince's wife's side tremblingly took out a folk remedy, saying that she was willing to offer it to repay the life-saving grace she had received.

The second prince's wife accepted the prescription and ordered it to be prepared and taken. As a result, she was able to get out of bed the next day!

She went to the grassland king's tent in person to express her gratitude for his concern and to tell him that she had made it through...

The entire grassland erupted in a commotion!

Such a miraculous prescription!
