The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Chapter 233 Li Muxia is recognized

Kyoto, a certain residence.

Inside the study, a man dressed entirely in black knelt behind a screen.

"Master, the plan has failed."

Inside the screen, a man is practicing calligraphy, holding a brush and carefully writing each stroke.

Receiving no response, the man in black continued, "Actually, we were almost successful. If we had just used some poison similar to the plague, we could have wiped out Tide Village without anyone noticing. But then a person claiming to be a medical immortal appeared out of nowhere, and later Prince Rui also went there. By the time we wanted to use the poison, it was too late."

At this moment, the man behind the screen spoke: "Don't act rashly now. Send someone to keep an eye on Tide Village."

“Master, I don’t know why we had to destroy Tide Village. The army needs money right now, and Tide Village is one of our main sources of income.”

At this moment, the man behind the screen had finished writing. He picked up the newly written characters, examined them carefully, blew on the ink, and said, "You know that His Majesty has been investigating smuggled salt recently. I have received information that Prince Rui has already obtained some evidence. You should know that once I am caught, even if I am a member of the imperial family, I will not escape death."

"The dead are the safest mouths. My great cause is not yet accomplished, so I have no choice but to sacrifice them. Blame the dog emperor."

After saying that, he spread the Xuan paper in his hand on the table again, on which there was only one word: "endure".

Opening the cabinet behind him, he found thick sheets of Xuan paper, each with only one character written on it—"endure".

I also put up the one I had just written.

"Alright, you may leave. Remember, Prince Rui is a cautious man. Do not make any moves during this period."

Man in black: "Yes."

Li Muxia and her group left Tide Village early in the morning, and the villagers saw them off a mile from the village entrance.

Li Muxia was quite touched, but what she didn't know was that the villagers escorted them to a location a mile away to confirm that Dongfang Jincheng had truly left.

When I returned to Fuhai Town, the town had already returned to its former prosperity. The people had recovered from their illnesses, the shops on the street had reopened, and it was bustling with people.

Wen Wencai led the people to welcome him at the city gate.

When Dongfang Jincheng appeared in the city on horseback, enthusiastic cheers erupted around him.

Dongfang Jincheng raised his hand and pressed it down, and everyone quieted down.

As Dongfang Jincheng dismounted, Li Muxia appeared before him. A man in the crowd clearly saw Li Muxia's face and exclaimed excitedly, "The Immortal Healer! It really is the Immortal Healer! Mother, look, it's the Immortal Healer!"

He pointed to Li Muxia, who was dismounting.

Upon hearing this, the people around looked in the direction he was pointing, and one man said, "Brother, you've mistaken him for someone else. That's not the Healer Immortal; that's the real one."

He then pointed with his finger at the fake doctor behind Wen Wencai.

The man followed his hand and looked over. The face was completely unfamiliar. He was certain that the person was not the Immortal Healer.

He retorted, "No, that's not it. My mother was seriously ill last year. If the legendary healer hadn't passed through our town, my mother would have... she would have..."

"Therefore, I will not mistake my mother's savior. Although the Healer was a bit fatter back then than she is now, I will never mistake her. She is the real Healer."

The man was somewhat agitated and spoke loudly, attracting the attention of Dongfang Jincheng and the others who were talking to Wen Wencai.

Wen Wencai quickly stopped the group, saying, "What are you doing? You can't be so disrespectful in front of the Prince. Get out of here!"

Seeing Dongfang Jincheng walk towards the group, Wen Wencai quickly explained, "They're just unruly country bumpkins who don't know any manners. Please don't take offense at them."

Li Muxia also arrived behind Dongfang Jincheng at this time. She saw Dongfang Jincheng walk towards the group of people who had been arguing earlier. The scene was not very quiet. She had not heard what the group was arguing about. Curious, she followed Dongfang Jincheng to see what was going on.

When the men saw Dongfang Jincheng approaching, they were so frightened that they all knelt down on the ground. Wen Wencai was still pleading for them in front of Dongfang Jincheng.

Dongfang Jincheng raised his hand to stop Wen Wencai, and looked at the man, asking, "You just said you've seen the Immortal Physician?"

The man who had recognized Li Muxia earlier lowered his head and trembled. Upon hearing Dongfang Jincheng's words, he lowered his head even further and whispered, "Yes, Your Highness."

Dongfang Jincheng: "Raise your head."

The man was so frightened by Dongfang Jincheng's imposing manner that his face turned pale. Upon hearing Dongfang Jincheng's words, he quickly raised his head, but as soon as he met Dongfang Jincheng's eyes, he quickly looked away.

Li Muxia recognized the man the moment he looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Zhang?"

Upon hearing Li Muxia's words, the man looked up in surprise, and when he saw Li Muxia, his eyes were filled with gratitude and excitement.

Li Muxia confirmed that she hadn't mistaken him for someone else, and then said, "Brother Zhang, what are you doing here? I remember your home is in Changping, isn't it?"

After saying that, she looked behind the man and saw Zhang Da Niang looking at her excitedly. If it weren't for Dongfang Jincheng being there, Li Muxia felt that the two of them would have rushed over and hugged her.

The man glanced at Dongfang Jincheng and said to Li Muxia, "Dr. Xia, it really is you."

His tone was somewhat agitated, and Li Muxia could hear the tremor in the man's voice.

Then, he wanted to stand up and go to Li Muxia, but when he thought of the prince standing in front of him, he obediently knelt down again and said happily, "My mother and I came back to pay respects to our ancestors. I didn't expect to see Doctor Xia here. It's so wonderful."

Li Muxia looked at the group. From Dongfang Jincheng's question earlier, she had already guessed why they were kneeling here. She said, "Your Highness, Brother Zhang is my friend, and Aunt Zhang is not in good health. Could you..."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jincheng said, "All of you, stand up and answer."

“You just said you know the Immortal Physician. Look around, which one of you is the Immortal Physician?”

Upon hearing this, the man pointed at Li Muxia without thinking and said, "Your Highness, Xia Mu, Xia Mu is the Immortal Physician."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces varied. Those standing on the side of the fake doctor all looked incredulous and were ready to argue with the man at any moment.

Although some of the people treated by Li Muxia were surprised, most of them acknowledged that Li Muxia was indeed a medical sage. After all, it was Li Muxia's prescription that saved everyone during this epidemic. Moreover, according to Master Chen, she was the only one who came to Fuhai Town without hesitation after knowing about the epidemic, and she even personally took care of the sick.

Until she developed a cure, she stayed with the plague patients. Her two brothers also helped her treat them, providing meticulous care to each one. She never looked down on them.

Upon hearing the man's words, Dongfang Jincheng asked, "Why are you so certain that she is the Immortal Healer?"
