Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Fearing something might have happened, Ye Li saw Doctor Mu walk in and anxiously asked, "Who is it?"

Then, staring at the food on the table, he decisively picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.

The flavor is rich and delicious, with every piece of meat infused with the sweet and savory sauce, making it incredibly refreshing!

The divine healer took a bite of meat, then a sip of wine, and asked with relish, "Who made this? I'm starving! Perfect timing to eat!"

He started eating without any hesitation:

"Hmm, excellent cooking skills. Such delicious food is truly rare in the world!"

Mo Chen frowned, immediately becoming displeased, after all, this was a meal that his wife had personally "made for him".

So he snatched the meat from Doctor Mu's chopsticks and quickly stuffed it into his mouth:

“This was made for me by my wife, you can’t eat it.”

The divine physician was enjoying his meal, but he was not happy about it:

"You brat, you're not fully recovered yet, how can you eat so much meat? Put it down, let me do it."

Ye Li looked at these two "big kids" and couldn't help but laugh and cry—one was an old rascal, and the other had genuine amnesia.

She stepped forward and took Mo Chen's hand, signaling him not to be too forceful, then mouthed the question:

"Ask Doctor Mu if there's anything wrong?"

She and Mo Chen are now relying on Doctor Mu for treatment, and what just happened has left her feeling truly uneasy.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Doctor Mu shook his head indifferently, "It's nothing serious. In my life, besides enjoying wine, I've always been interested in food. I was just curious about who made it."

Hearing that there were no surprises, Ye Li felt a little uneasy, but also relieved.

Since arriving from another world, she has encountered assassinations, accidents, and constant dangers everywhere, and she is now used to dealing with all kinds of situations.

In a good mood, she generously handed the doctor a bowl and chopsticks and comforted Mo Chen, saying, "Eat together first, and I'll make you some sweet soup later."

Mo Chen reluctantly agreed to eat with them.

However, the Divine Physician Mu, though seemingly frivolous, had actually been observing the betrothed couple. Seeing how smoothly Mo Chen and Ye Li's "silent communication" went, he became curious as well.

"Young lady, you treat him so well. You two seem so inseparable, like a real young couple..."

Despite his advanced age, Doctor Mu wasn't too reserved and spoke his mind freely, waiting with curiosity for her reply:

"What, you don't mind that he's an idiot?"

Ye Li thought for a moment, then wrote on the table with water: "He saved me."

The Divine Physician Mu said, "Oh, so you're offering yourself in return? But he's just a child. If he can't be cured in this lifetime, won't you mind?"

Whether it's troublesome or not is already obvious. Look at this girl, cooking and coaxing people, she's not impatient at all.

Ye Li sensed a deeper meaning in Doctor Mu's question, so she lowered her gaze and slowly wrote: "It's alright. Who can predict the course of life? Fortune and misfortune are intertwined, and we will weather the storms together."

"Hahahaha... What a wonderful phrase, 'sharing weal and woe'!"

The divine healer laughed heartily, his laughter echoing throughout the kitchen:

"I greatly admire your magnanimity."

He sighed and slowly said:

"In this world... there are always many lovesick men and women who feel that fate is unfair and that they have not received enough, but they never think that life is long and who can have a smooth life?"

"I observe that you act with composure and moderation, and have a kind heart; you are sure to be a blessed person."

"Kid, if the detoxification doesn't treat you well, just come to me. I'll pass on all my medical skills to you, and then you can do whatever you want. The sky's the limit."

Ye Li never expected that this Divine Doctor Mu would be so easy to get along with when he wasn't drunk, and even wanted to teach her medical skills.

To become the disciple of a divine healer—how prestigious!

Does that mean I'll have a skill that allows me to roam the world and live a life free from want?

Ye Li immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Doctor Mu, thinking to herself: Whether he is drunk or sober now, this opportunity to curry favor with him is one I must seize!

The divine healer gladly accepted her greeting, then said with great enthusiasm:

"I'll teach you medicine in the future, and you'll cook lots of delicious food for me. Don't worry, I have a lot of hidden treasures, so you won't suffer any losses."

After saying that, he ate a few more mouthfuls of rice with relish.

……

People get old, fine, but why become a spirit?

Could it be that he only took on apprentices because of the allure of delicious food?

Ye Li firmly believed that her guess was correct.

But this is the best outcome. Mo Chen is surrounded by dangers, and if I have medical skills, I can definitely help him.

She looked at Mo Chen, her bright eyes curving like crescent moons with a smile, captivating Mo Chen, who thought to himself: My wife is so beautiful.

After a hearty meal, Doctor Mu went back to prepare the medicinal herbs. He had to select, dry, and sort them, muttering to himself, "I need to get this done quickly while the weather is nice," before leaving the kitchen.

Ye Li and Mo Chen decided to go to the post station where the Northern Star King was located—to find the Divine Temple Blood Spirit Grass!

……

The capital city, Zhuque Street, post station.

The post station where the Prince of Beichen was temporarily staying was almost the most luxurious of all the post stations. Ye Li felt that it was more like a resort villa than a post station.

Not only were the roads covered with intricately patterned carpets, but even the decorations and landscaping had a Zen-like quality, ethereal and serene. It was evident that the Prince of Beichen was just as his name suggested, a man of exceptional talent and ingenuity.

After the attendant finished reporting, Prince Beichen stood by the window, playing with the fish bait in his hand, and then cast it into the fishpond, as if waiting for the fish to come, and also waiting for their arrival.

To be honest, Ye Li was very nervous. Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and sweat poured out of her palms.

I wonder if things will go smoothly this time...

The last time the Emperor Emeritus held his birthday banquet, she racked her brains and discussed various contingencies with Li Siyi, Xiao Ziming and others, so that she was able to deceive everyone.

However, even Li Siyi has very little information about this Prince Beichen, so he can only take things one step at a time.

Mo Chen noticed his wife's unease. He wrapped his arm around her small, clenched fist and gently comforted her:

"I'll protect you no matter what happens."

"Don't be afraid."

In an instant, Ye Li's heart was touched.

She remembered that on the very first day after she transmigrated, it was he who protected her. At that time, they were complete strangers, and he was of sound mind. He shielded her from the assassin's blade.

That was the first time he protected her.

After the fire raged and the assassins attacked again, he drew his sword to defend her, disregarding his own injuries.

Soon after, he was poisoned and lost his memory, his mind no longer functioning normally.

But she was frightened by the kitten, and he still willingly acted as her cushion, protecting her from injury.

Before the Emperor Emeritus's birthday banquet, he also tried his best to deal with various situations, and stood up for her to shield her from Li Furong's difficult behavior...

It seems that from beginning to end, he never boasted about his bravery, but he always genuinely protected her.

Shelter her from the wind and rain...

The servant led Mo Chen and her to the reception room and carefully bowed to invite them in.

After recalling the events, Ye Li was filled with emotion and a surge of courage. She stepped inside, her earlier tension and unease gone.

Since you've been protecting me all this time...

Now, let me try to get you the antidote!

Prince Su Zhelan of Beichen had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Ye Li and Mo Chen arrive, his deep eyes lit up. He stepped forward gracefully to greet them, saying, "Your presence is truly an honor to my humble abode."

He arrived calmly and made a "please" gesture:

"I am Su Zhelan from Beichen. Welcome General Mo Chen to my humble abode."

Ye Li noticed that he didn't use the imperial title "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I" or "the Emperor") and was instead very humble. She immediately became alert, realizing that something was amiss.

Mo Chen didn't seem to care about any of that. He took Ye Li's hand and sat down on the chair with ease, then spoke directly:

"No more beating around the bush. I am the winner of this Royal Hunting Ground event. I'm here to collect your stake—Blood Spirit Grass."

Su Zhelan's eyes, gleaming beneath his thick eyebrows, seemed to see through everything. He calmly said:

"The winner takes all, it's only right."

Previously, because the Blood Spirit Grass was extremely precious, I wanted to wait for the general to arrive and personally deliver it to you.

After speaking, he gave a signal, and a servant immediately stepped forward and opened the box in his hand:

"Inside is the Blood Spirit Grass from the temple, which can cure all poisons and is extremely rare in the world," the attendant respectfully introduced.

Ye Li never expected things to be so simple; she thought the Prince of Beichen would refuse to give it to her.

Just as she was about to relax, she heard the Prince of Beichen say:

"The Blood Spirit Grass should naturally be given to General Mo Chen, but..."

The Prince of Beichen glanced at Ye Li halfway through his sentence, and Ye Li's heart, which had just settled, jumped again...

But what??
