To divorce his wife, the top scholar preferred being cuckolded to wearing a red hat.

Fu Jingsheng frowned inwardly. His father-in-law didn't like him anymore, and it was no good task for the prince to ask him to do this.

The King of Ming looked at the pastries that Fu Jingsheng had brought over and asked Fu Jingsheng to open them so he could have a taste.

"Your Highness, knowing you love their pastries, I went there specifically to buy them."

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." Mingyue took out a piece and put it in his mouth. The pastry melted in his mouth, sweet and delicious, just the taste he had always liked: "You can stay here for a while, I still have some questions for you."

……

Fu Jingsheng happened to pass by Qian's Medical Clinic after leaving the Ming Prince's Mansion.

He sent Li Song down to check if the young lady and the lady were inside.

Fu Jingying and Su Ziyu came out from inside, both looking indignant.

"I think they're definitely lying. There's no such miracle doctor at all. We come here every time but we can't find anyone. What else could it be but a scam?" Fu Jingying was very angry.

She came at least three times, but never saw the miracle doctor Benlai.

Either the other party doesn't want to treat them, so they keep avoiding them.

Or perhaps this person doesn't even exist, and was fabricated by Qian's Medical Clinic to steal their business.

"There is such a person, but we always come at the wrong time." Su Ziyu had just asked Dong Hong to inquire around, and the doctor was indeed amazing. Many patients who doctors had predicted would not live long had recovered completely after her treatment.

"Mother's illness can't be delayed any longer, what should we do? If I had known, I wouldn't have gone to get the medicine. If she hadn't taken it, she would only have had a headache, not died. After taking the medicine, her headache is better, but she's almost gone." Fu Jingying was filled with regret.

"I will have people keep watch here, and they will be sent back to the manor to report as soon as there is any news of the divine doctor."

“This is the only way.” Fu Jingying nodded. “Sister-in-law, I only now realize how good you are. Unlike that Su Mingyue, I really regret that she was once my sister-in-law. Just thinking about it makes me sick.”

"Husband." Su Ziyu saw Fu Jingsheng at the door and hurried over. "Why did you come here? The divine doctor wasn't here today, so we didn't see him. But I've already arranged for Hongye to keep watch nearby. As soon as the divine doctor appears, we'll go back to the manor to report."

“He didn’t come.” Fu Jingsheng frowned. “Is he a doctor? How can he act so recklessly, coming and going as he pleases? The people at Qian’s Medical Clinic let him do as he pleases.”

“She’s not a resident doctor at Qian’s Medical Clinic, so Qian’s Medical Clinic can’t control her. As long as she comes, we’ll get the news and we’ll definitely be able to get her to come.”

"That's the only way. You guys go back first, I still have some things to take care of."

When Su Ziyu got close to him, she smelled a fragrance on him that did not belong to her.

To be precise, she had never used that kind of fragrance before; its intense and sweet scent was something only a very bold person would dare to resist.

"Is my husband still going out?"

Fu Jingsheng hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Su Ziyu: "Something's happened at the Cheng family's place, and Prince Ming wants me to mediate. How's your relationship with Father lately? How about we go to the Su residence for lunch together?"

Su Ziyu raised an eyebrow.

"You're looking for your father."

Fu Jingsheng nodded: "It's just a small matter."

“If my husband wants me to accompany you, I will go back.”

"Thank you." This was the first time Fu Jingsheng had thanked her since their argument. "I have some things to take care of. I'll come back to pick you up in an hour."

"No need, I'll go straight back to the Su residence. You can come over later."

After the two parted, Su Ziyu whispered something to Dong Hong.

After Su Ziyu arrived at the Su residence, the servants who had accompanied Fu Jingsheng also returned.

He approached and whispered, "Young Master Fu went to a courtyard. It looked quite nice, and the owner of the courtyard was a woman. As soon as Young Master Fu arrived, the woman called him 'husband' and acted intimately. Young Master Fu also called the woman 'madam'."

Su Ziyu dug her fingertips into her palm: "So that's where he got all that money. It turns out he didn't get it from Su Mingyue, he got it from somewhere else."

"Miss, shall we continue to follow the young master?"

“Follow them secretly.” Su Ziyu sneered.

……

The Emperor tossed a recent memorial in front of Xiao Zhan: "Qingzhou was hit by a massive rainstorm a while ago, nearly flooding half the city. The floodwaters receded for half a month, but some people in the city have inexplicably fallen ill. The doctors in Qingzhou suspect it's a plague, and the city is now under lockdown. You must immediately take several imperial physicians and some medicine to investigate. Once it's confirmed to be a plague, make sure the city gates are locked tight, not letting a single fly escape. Actively seek a solution; the fewer people who die, the better. You yourself must also be extra careful."

Xiao Zhan frowned as he looked at the contents of the memorial: "Your Majesty, Qingzhou City urgently needs medicine and doctors. I will definitely take the medicine and doctors there as soon as possible."

"You go ahead with the doctor, and I'll have Lao Wu follow behind with the medicinal herbs. The most urgent thing is to find the root cause. We can't gather all the medicinal herbs in a short time, so you go ahead."

"Yes." Xiao Zhan knew that the Emperor was a wise ruler, and that what he knew, the Emperor must also know.

"Let's keep this matter quiet for now and find out the cause before we talk about it, so as not to cause panic among the people." The word "plague" has always been something to be feared.

If people knew that something had changed in Qingzhou, even those far away in the capital would feel a sense of panic.

"I understand."

"The list of imperial physicians is ready. They will meet at the city gate in an hour, and you will lead them on their way. If there are not enough imperial physicians, gather some of my own doctors locally. Try to find a way to resolve this matter as soon as possible. I will be waiting for your good news in the capital."

Xiao Zhan returned to the courtyard, looking travel-worn.

Su Mingyue was just about to go out.

Before she could speak, Xiao Zhan had already embraced her.

"What happened?"

"Qingzhou City was flooded half a month ago, and now a large number of patients with the same symptoms have appeared in the city. The Emperor is worried and asked me to go and take a look. I will leave in an hour and I will come back to pack some things."

"only you?"

"I went there with the imperial physician, and the Fifth Prince followed behind with the medicinal herbs."

"Then be careful." Su Mingyue thought of something and went into the room to take out some masks, disinfectant alcohol, and a box of heat-clearing and detoxifying tablets. "You must wear these masks when you arrive. Try to wear them when you come into contact with outsiders. Also, this alcohol is for disinfection. Remember to disinfect after you come into contact with outsiders. These are heat-clearing and detoxifying tablets. Try using some after you arrive and see if they are effective."

It was unclear whether it was a plague, so she wasn't sure what medicine to prepare for Xiao Zhan.

Without specifying the exact symptoms, Xiao Yaoxiang's medicine couldn't be delivered.

Seeing that Su Mingyue had helped him carry these things, Xiao Zhan took them all: "The news of my leaving the capital won't spread anytime soon. I'm leaving Qinghu and the others behind. You need to be careful."

"Don't worry too much about me. If the situation in Qingzhou doesn't improve, write to me immediately, and we'll find out the reason together." Su Mingyue looked into Xiao Zhan's eyes.

Xiao Zhan was also looking at her.

At this moment, they only had eyes for each other.
