Chapter 1225 Playing the long game to catch the big fish
The Crown Prince's face darkened, and he didn't move forward to speak. He hadn't expected Yun Mujiu's medical skills to be so advanced. Furthermore, many of the people he had cured were his formidable rivals. Uncle Ye, Ye Chuhe, and Ye Chufeng—all potential rivals for the throne in the future! Furthermore, compared to these people, his body had long since fallen into disrepair. Thinking this, the Crown Prince looked at Yun Mujiu with a calculating look in his eyes.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see Yun Mujiu from his perspective, because Ye Xiaohan's tall body had already completely blocked Yun Mujiu's view, and his eyes were like a knife cutting towards the prince. The prince shuddered suddenly and shrank behind the queen again.
Several months ago, Concubine Yu and Ye Chuhe had secretly requested Yun Mujiu's treatment. However, at that time, the Emperor trusted Dr. Wu and his daughter very much and repeatedly rejected Concubine Yu's request for Yun Mujiu's treatment. Under the Emperor's pressure, Concubine Yu and her son dared not disobey his wishes and could only secretly contact Yun Mujiu.
By then, Yun Mujiu had already thought of a countermeasure, planning to wait until the emperor completely gave up on Divine Doctor Wu, and then ask her to save her beloved and most caring son. But...
While investigating the past events of Doctor Wu, Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan discovered the old man's double-faced evil intentions, his cruel medical practices, and more importantly, his connections with many factions in Beihan.
Not only is he connected to the circle of miraculous doctors, he also has a deep blood feud with the Leng family, represented by Doctor Shi, and is secretly involved with the mysterious dark forces of Beihan...
In the end, Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan chose to play the long game and not deal with Doctor Wu who was imprisoned for the time being. Instead, they began to investigate a series of matters.
At the same time, the fact that Doctor Wu is not dead means that the emperor will not give up on squeezing out the last value of Doctor Wu, which also means that the emperor will not ask the wife of the rival King Ye, Yun Mujiu, to treat Ye Chuhe.
Therefore, Yun Mujiu, who is a caring person, is secretly carrying out phased treatment for Ye Chuhe in order not to delay his illness.
However, Yun Mujiu and Ye Chuhe's explanations to the Emperor at this time did not provide detailed treatment details. They only stated that Ye Chuhe had taken the initiative to purchase some special homemade medicine for his legs at the Herb Hall, and that today, with Yun Mujiu's golden needle treatment, his legs, which had been paralyzed for many years, had finally responded.
No one present showed any doubt, but they were extremely surprised that Yun Mujiu's medical skills were really top-notch!
For a moment, everyone was full of praise. Meanwhile, Yun Mujiu even smiled and declined Valley Master Du's invitation to join her, saying she didn't want to leave the capital to seek medical advice in Duti Valley. Valley Master Du suggested that Yun Mujiu stay in the capital and often study with him. This would be a form of mobile learning: Yun Mujiu wouldn't have to travel to Duti Valley; her teacher would be right here.
Yun Mujiu declined politely. She had no intention of getting started for the time being, but she was still willing to exchange medical skills with her colleagues on a daily basis.
Master Du also happily agreed. After all, he had a chance to chat with this little girl.
Du Guier, who was standing behind Master Du, lowered her head, her face pale and she didn't dare to talk about exchanging medical skills with Yun Mujiu.
Du Gui'er and Du Houpu both realized that when they stopped Du Ziheng at Yuegui Tower that day, Yun Mujiu must have been watching from behind. It was Yun Mujiu who had instructed Du Ziheng to fight back and had the warriors drive them out. As for the female doctor from the Herb Hall who had accepted Du Gui'er's medical challenge, it must have been Yun Mujiu herself.
It turned out that they had long been manipulated by Yun Mujiu...
A birthday banquet, planned for several days, ended in just one day.
From morning to night, countless wonderful things happened.
People didn’t eat much at the banquet, nor did they watch much of the show, but they were able to immerse themselves in one real-life drama after another!
Gao Yang's gang has been brought down, and her personal servants, confidants, and colluders in the court will all be thoroughly purged.
Cao Hanmo and Gao Yang divorced, and thanks to the support of the Night King and his wife, Cao Hanmo and his family were spared the imprisonment and execution that Gao Yang faced. However, they had been part of Gao Yang, sharing good fortune and misfortune, and the punishment they deserved remained. Their years of confinement to praying in a suburban temple continued, but they had survived, and with the hope of returning to the capital, the Cao family's remaining mansions and properties would be appropriately preserved. This was a great favor. There was still hope for Cao Hanmo and his family to continue living.
It was already dark, and Cao Hanmo and his sister, as hosts, wanted to prepare a dinner for everyone, sharing the food they had prepared at home. After all, the Cao family was kindhearted and didn't want to create antagonisms or disrupt everyone's peaceful mood at today's birthday banquet. They were especially grateful to the Night King and his wife for saving their lives.
But everyone had long since lost interest in dining. After watching so much drama, they needed to go home and savor it first. They just sorted out all the gossip and spread it around town...
The birthday party was full of excitement, but ended abruptly, and everyone left one by one.
Ye Xiaohan pulled Yun Mujiu away leisurely. The backs of the handsome man and beautiful woman, under the rendering of twilight, were also deeply imprinted in the hearts of the onlookers.
Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu left the mansion and left in a magnificent palace carriage pulled by four white horses.
The mansion where Gao Yang and the Cao family lived was originally located in the center of the capital, but it was still quite far from the Night King's Palace. Naturally, the journey back would take quite some time.
As night fell, on the bustling streets of the capital, Wei Bai and Sui Xi tightened the reins of their horses outside the carriage.
Wei Bai lowered his voice and said, "Prince, Princess, it seems that someone is following us secretly."
Yun Mujiu in the car immediately sat up straight. Ye Xiaohan said, "Get rid of them. Send another Hanying Guard to track them down."
Wei Bai and Sui Xi were good drivers, and they got rid of the people following them after just a few long and narrow alleys.
When they returned to the Night King's Mansion, the lanterns were all lit, and Butler Zeng and a group of servants were waiting for them in the front yard.
After waiting for about half a cup of tea, Wei Song and the guards who had accompanied him to the banquet returned on horseback. They said they had also discovered an unknown force following them, but they had split up and shaken them off. They had also sent teams to search for those hidden forces, but had not yet obtained any results.
Ye Xiaohan called on a few more Hanying Guards to investigate, and then returned to the flower hall with Yun Mujiu for dinner.
The flower hall was filled with warm light and the two of them were having their meal while chatting about the major events that had happened today.
When mentioning the names of many people at the banquet, Yun Mujiu had a bitter face and lamented that there were so many people and it was tiring to deal with them.
Ye Xiaohan rubbed the top of Yun Mujiu's head and smiled silently at the cuteness of this girl.
Yun Mujiu raised his head and smiled again: "It doesn't matter if there are a lot of people. I want to be the diplomat of the Night Palace, that is, the external social person. I want to take care of all the connections of the Night Palace."
The atmosphere inside the Night Prince's Mansion was harmonious, but the outside world was different. Tonight, many people in the capital were destined to be unable to sleep peacefully.
Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu made a high-profile appearance, displaying many dazzling brilliance. News about them spread throughout the city in an instant. Their noble yet arrogant image also left a deep impression on many people.
With the capital as the center, news about Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu continued to spread in all directions.
The reputation, popularity, and attention of the two have reached a new level in one fell swoop...
The next day in the capital, the morning market was much more lively than the previous days.
After the birthday banquet, many interesting scenes took place, and countless people fell. A group of people headed by Gao Yang were imprisoned and their crimes were thoroughly investigated.
Those who were dismissed from their posts were dismissed, their properties were confiscated, those who were imprisoned were imprisoned, and those who were beheaded were beheaded...
