Chapter 373 Arrival

Cen Wan did not expect Zheng Xun's attitude to be so tough.

She was touched, but her attitude remained firm: "Your Highness, I know you feel sorry for me..."

"Don't know yet, it's not that I feel sorry for you, but that the Brown Kingdom simply doesn't need you."

When Cen Wan saw that she claimed to have changed everything, she assumed that Cen Wan was very angry: "You're just being stubborn!"

Zheng Xun: ...

How come she didn't know Cen Wan had a narcissistic problem before?

"I have other plans for the Brown Country."

With Yue Niang in the open, Song Zhiling in the shadows, and now Cen Wan, whose advice should we take? Who should make the decision? What if we disagree?

Zheng Xun had no intention of telling Cen Wan about Song Zhiling's existence; she simply said coldly, "Cen Wan, I disagree."

Her glance was unmistakably forceful and brooked no argument.

Cen Wan felt a chill run down her spine.

She knew that His Highness was not discussing things with her, but rather conveying an order.

All her insistence and stubbornness vanished at that moment.

"Yes!"

Cen Wan bowed respectfully and never mentioned the matter again.

Let's get back to the present.

Inside the light screen, the argument among the people of the Brown Kingdom continued.

Wan Yao was unwilling to take the blame: "Mastermind? Thanks for thinking so highly, but I don't have that kind of brain."

Wu Qing was speechless at his overly blunt words and remained silent for a long time before finally managing to say, "To be willing to belittle yourself like this in order to dispel suspicion, Lord Wan's ability to bend and stretch is truly admirable!"

Qin Duzhi stroked his beard: "Wu Qing's change is too fast."

The last time he came into the sight of the Dayong people, he was still a smooth talker, unwilling to offend anyone or stand out.

But Diao De didn't push him up there so that he could slack off.

The current Wu Qing is like a sharp but "brainless" knife, looking just like another Wan Yao.

Wan Yao scoffed, his gaze sweeping over Wu Qing before landing on Diao De: "Grand Tutor Diao sits calmly on his post, yet he unleashes his dogs to bite people indiscriminately. What's the reason for this?"

"okay!"

Qi Yongji was really impatient to watch them argue, so he forcibly steered the conversation back on track: "When the sea is calm, there will be storms. Wan Yao, I'll give you ten days to find out who's stirring up trouble."

Wan Yao:?

He was so remorseful that he raised his hand and slapped himself.

He has such a sharp tongue; he just has to say something sarcastic. If he were quiet, this hot potato wouldn't even get into his hands.

Now, Qi Yongji wouldn't give him a chance to back down, so he could only try to find some humor in the situation, thinking that this job wasn't without its advantages.

Qi Yongji's willingness to entrust this matter to him at least shows that he trusts him... right?

Wan Yao had no choice but to swallow his pride and suffer in silence, while still having to humbly acknowledge the Emperor's boundless grace.

The light screen has held up for so long that it can no longer reveal the situation in the Brown Kingdom.

Zheng Xun calmly shifted his focus to the interior of Dayong.

On the other side, after rushing as fast as they could, He Wuyang and his group finally arrived in Liaozhou.

He Wuyu went to pick them up personally: "Director Zhao, Doctor Zhao, I have had some food prepared. You must be tired from the long journey. Please have something to eat first."

Zhao Lingyin waved her hand impatiently: "What are you eating for? Take us to see General He."

He Wuyu honestly withdrew the polite words he was about to say: "Please follow me."

On the way, Zhao Lingyin inquired in detail about General He's situation.

Fortunately, He Wuyu took care of her grandfather day and night without taking off her clothes, otherwise she would not have been able to handle her somewhat "tricky" questions.

The Zhao father and daughter carried their medicine boxes into General He's house and ruthlessly locked the He siblings outside.

He Wuyang finally found a chance to speak and said expectantly, "Sister!"

He Wuyu looked him up and down several times, and the unfamiliarity in her eyes was gradually replaced by warmth.

Her younger brother had become darker and thinner, but he was also more energetic and had grown much taller, now almost as tall as her.

"Why are you here? Don't you have important business to attend to? Have you arranged your work properly?"

"Sister! His Highness allowed me to come. There are people in the capital looking after me, so nothing will happen."

"you sure……"

"Really, sis, please believe me?"

In He Wuyu's heart, He Wuyang was still that little kid who followed him around like a puppy. He wasn't much younger than her, but he always seemed like he never grew up, always being mischievous and prone to getting into trouble.

Only then did she realize that she had been away from the capital for too long and separated from her brother for too long, and that her impression of him was still from many years ago.

"Okay, I believe you."

He Wuyang's lips curled up for a moment, and his eyes caught sight of the closed door. A hint of concern appeared in his eyes: "Sister, Grandfather..."

He Wuyu rubbed his temples and told him what he could say.

"Dr. Zhao's medical skills are superb. Sister, don't worry, Grandfather will definitely wake up safely."

What He Wuyang didn't say was that if even Zhao Lingyin couldn't do anything, then his grandfather might only have... one path left.

He Wuyu nodded: "Wu Yang... how have you been in the capital?"

“Great! The Emperor takes good care of me. With the Crown Princess backing me up, I don’t have to pretend to be sick and weak anymore. I can do what I like. I’ve never felt so happy before.”

When He Wuyang spoke of his farm, his crops, and the seeds they had developed, his tone was high-pitched and confident, and his eyes seemed to sparkle.

He Wuyu listened attentively, a gentle light appearing in his eyes: "As long as you're happy."

This is the significance of her defending Liaozhou to the death.

Protected by the He family army, the people she cared about and the citizens of Dayong did not have to worry about foreign invasions or the ravages of war. They could live and work in peace and do whatever they wanted.

"However, remember to be humble and low-key in the capital, and don't act arrogantly. Do your best in the tasks His Highness has entrusted to you..."

He Wuyang suddenly leaned forward and gently hugged He Wuyu.

He Wuyu was stunned.

"Sister, Grandfather will definitely get better."

His words and actions were abrupt, but He Wuyu understood his reason in an instant.

She sighed, wanting to say that she was fine, but such a clumsy lie couldn't fool anyone in front of her family.

How could her younger brother, who grew up with her since childhood, not see the turbulent emotions beneath her calm exterior?

At this moment, Dr. Yuan, who had received the news, rushed over and gradually slowed down after seeing this scene.

Sensing someone's arrival, He Wuyang released his grip.

"Dr. Yuan."

He Wuyu stepped forward and welcomed the person in.

"I heard that Chief Physician Zhao and Lingyin from the capital have arrived?"

"Yes, he is currently examining his grandfather inside the house."

Just then, the door opened.

"Brother Yuan!"

"Uncle Yuan!"

"Brother Zhao! My niece!"

Although the three met only a few times, they were all highly accomplished in medicine and shared a compassionate heart dedicated to saving lives and overcoming disease, which allowed them to develop a deep friendship during their brief time together.

Before long, Doctor Yuan asked with concern, "How is it? Is there any way to get rid of the poison?"

"Fortunately, we arrived early. If we had arrived any later, it might have been too late. Thanks to Uncle Yuan's efforts, General He's condition is very stable!"

This was not the first time Zhao Lingyin had worked with Dr. Yuan, nor was it the first time she had been amazed by Dr. Yuan's medical skills.
