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

Su Mingyue's words were soft and sweet, and Xiao Zhan couldn't resist her tone. He immediately wrapped his arms around her waist and lowered his head to bite her delicate lips.

The two parted ways shortly afterward.

Now is not the time for sentimentality. The situation in Qingzhou City is serious, and we need to find a solution to the current problems as soon as possible.

"Do you have her prescription? Let me see if it works?" When she first heard the name Zhu Sha, she thought someone had stolen her name.

"They're with Physician Hu. I'll take you there now. How long did it take you to get here? You've seen all these patients, right? What are your thoughts? Is it the plague?" Xiao Zhan knew Su Mingyue's medical skills were superb; with her there, he thought they could make a breakthrough.

"I brought back a mother and son on my way here. They came from Qingzhou City and were on their way back to their parents' home when they fell ill. The mother's symptoms were milder, but the son was seriously ill, with a high fever and vomiting blood, and had fallen into a coma. I have given him medicine, and his fever has gone down and his symptoms have lessened somewhat. However, whether that prescription will work or not, we will have to wait until his condition improves."

"As long as the fever subsides, it means the direction is correct."

"That's what I think too."

"Come on, let's go out and take a look. I'll take you to visit the various outposts first."

“I have a general idea of ​​the situation. On my way here, I rescued two sisters from Willow Village. They told me that their village was the first to discover the disease. The disease started spreading from their village. Perhaps the source is in their village. I want to go to Willow Village. Is Willow Village far from here? Can you find someone familiar with Willow Village to show me the way? I’ll go there.”

"You also suspect Willow Village? I just sent a few people to that Doctor Zhu, and she's going to Willow Village to find the source."

"She hasn't gone yet. She said she's so angry with me that she feels dizzy, and she'll only be in the mood to go after you deal with me."

“I can’t deal with you even if I deal with her.” Xiao Zhan chuckled. “Then you two can go there together, each looking for your own way, and see if you come to the same conclusion. I’ll also send someone familiar with the terrain of Willow Tree Village to guide you there.”

"I think I've found the right person." Su Mingyue thought of Liu Duoduo. Although the girl was young, she had a cleverness about her, so having her lead the way might not be a bad idea.

"Who do you want to go with you?"

"The two sisters we just rescued, the younger one looks very clever."

Liu Yong had been waiting at the door, eager to know the relationship between Xiao Zhan and Su Mingyue. When he saw the two of them chatting and laughing, hand in hand, he froze on the spot.

Seeing his dumbfounded reaction, Su Mingyue laughed, coughed, and came to his side: "Liu Yong, didn't you want to complain to the Prince that I caused trouble for Doctor Zhu and made him lose his mood to go to Willow Village? This is the Prince. You can talk to him and let him deal with me."

Upon hearing that the tall and handsome man before him was Prince Zhan, Liu Yong quickly knelt down and said, "This humble official, Liu Yong, greets Your Highness."

Xiao Zhan frowned: "Didn't Zhao Deyou arrange for you to guide Doctor Zhu to Willow Tree Village? Why haven't you gone yet? What are you doing here?"

Liu Yong was so frightened that sweat beaded on his forehead. Even if he were dull-witted, he could tell that the relationship between this Miss Su and the prince was unusual: "Your Highness, Doctor Zhu and Miss Su had some misunderstandings. I wanted to come and explain things to Your Highness. Now that the misunderstandings have been cleared up, I will go find Doctor Zhu and set off for Willow Tree Village."

"Misunderstanding, what misunderstanding?"

Liu Yong hesitated for a long time, unsure whether to continue: "I know the specifics, but I only know that Doctor Zhu was in a bad mood. I asked her maid, and she told me that Miss Su and Doctor Zhu didn't get along, and she embarrassed Doctor Zhu in public."

"So you want to avenge her and get me to deal with my princess's troubles?" Xiao Zhan said coldly.

Liu Yong raised his head in disbelief: "Your Highness? This humble official truly knew nothing about this. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

My God! Since Miss Su is the Princess Consort of the War King, why is he still causing trouble for her? He'll lose his head!

"A patient just passed away. She said she couldn't save her, but I said I could, so we made a bet. She said if the patient couldn't be saved, I would apologize to her, and if I could, she would apologize to me. Later, the patient woke up. Do you think I should honor my bet?"

"Of course I want to." Liu Yong looked ashamed. "I shouldn't have listened to so many people. It's just that they all say that Doctor Zhu is a miracle doctor who can save the people of Qingzhou, so I was a little protective of her. Please don't take offense, Your Majesty."

"You may take her there," Su Mingyue said, not wanting to make things difficult for a minor official, and told him to leave.

Liu Yong hurriedly took his leave.

"So, she lost the bet with you, apologized, and then had to act all wronged in front of others."

"That must be it. He's a legendary doctor, so it's natural that he'd feel embarrassed to apologize to me like that."

"If that's the case, we really need to take her prescription seriously. Don't rush to Willow Village now, go find Physician Hu first." Judging from this incident, Doctor Zhu isn't exactly an upright person, which makes him doubt the prescription as well.

The two went directly to see Physician Hu.

When Liu Yong returned to the spot, Zhu Sha and her maid were still resting under a tree. Seeing him come over, Jinxiu waved to him and asked, "Brother Liu, how did it go? Did you send the person to your elder brother? What did your elder brother say?"

Liu Yong chuckled awkwardly, "She wasn't there when I got there, and I didn't see her. But I told my elder brother about it, and he said he would keep an eye out. Doctor Zhu, let's set off now."

"Alright, let's go." Zhu Sha was somewhat disappointed when she heard that Liu Yong had not seen Su Mingyue in person.

It's fortunate she ran fast; otherwise, Liu Yong would have definitely run into her, and she might have been taken to the prince by him.

The prince values ​​her highly and will surely avenge her.

"Miss Jinxiu, I just went to the stronghold and heard them talking about a bet. I'd like to know what kind of bet Doctor Zhu made with that Miss Su?"

"Why do you talk so much?" Jinxiu suddenly became impatient. "Our young lady has superb medical skills. That girl, whoever appeared out of nowhere, only knows a little bit and dares to bet with our young lady. Even if she wins, it's just a lucky break, not real skill."

"Dr. Zhu's medical skills are undoubtedly superb; all the people of Qingzhou rely on Dr. Zhu."

Zhu Sha smiled faintly: "Let's go to Willow Village. Miss Su seems to have quite a background, so it's understandable that she looks down on a mere doctor like me."

Liu Yong's thick eyebrows furrowed. These words made it sound as if Miss Su was deliberately going against him. If he didn't know Miss Su's true identity, he would have thought that Doctor Zhu was being targeted.
