Xie Shiyan's speed in handling matters is astonishing.

With the help of some people, the emperor finally agreed.

He allocated a sum of money from the national treasury, which was used entirely to help poor people buy medicine and treat their illnesses.

For every ordinary person who buys medicine, the national treasury pays 60%, the Xie family pays 10%, and several kind-hearted wealthy merchants also join in, willing to contribute an additional 10% to show their goodwill.

The remaining portion will be borne by the people themselves.

This measure has given hope to many people who were afraid to seek medical treatment or buy medicine.

To prevent officials from embezzling funds, the emperor directly assigned this task to Liu Kang.

It is said that Liu Kang himself recommended himself to the emperor.

The emperor knew that he only wanted to cure the people's illnesses, so he did not refuse.

Liu Kang was juggling two jobs and was extremely busy.

However, he seemed to enjoy it and didn't feel tired at all.

When Gu Jiangli saw him again, he was radiant and looked several years younger.

Every time Liu Kang saw Gu Jiangli, he would express his gratitude to her profusely.

If it weren't for Gu Jiangli's initial bet, he wouldn't have been able to appear before the people so easily; if Gu Jiangli hadn't come up with a way to deal with the Imperial Hospital, he wouldn't have received the emperor's apology; if Gu Jiangli hadn't assisted him, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is now.

Like the other ordinary people, he regarded Gu Jiangli as his second parents and his lifelong benefactor.

Later, whenever Liu Kang cured a patient, he would mention Gu Jiangli and Xie Wen'an to that patient.

Liu Kang's most famous characteristic was that he always spoke highly of his benefactor and beloved disciple.

As for Wen An, he became almost the most sought-after figure in the entire Northern Qi.

From the very elderly to the toddlers learning to speak, everyone knows his name.

This was not only because Wen An cured the people of the plague, but also because he pioneered the free medical services provided by the Imperial Medical Academy.

What's even more surprising is that he has become the youngest Imperial Medical Academy Director in history.

When Wen An was eight years old, Liu Kang felt that he had nothing more to teach him, so he discussed with Wen An about leaving the palace and traveling outside.

Although Wen An was reluctant to part with his master, he knew that his master's ambitions were not in the palace. He agreed to the emperor's request to work in the Imperial Hospital, mainly because he wanted to bring Wen An into the Imperial Hospital.

Liu Kang submitted his resignation to the emperor and then bid farewell to Wen An.

With the departure of the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, Wen An was the only one left capable of shouldering this important responsibility.

Despite his young age, he was composed and skilled in medicine, making him the most suitable person to serve as the head of the Imperial Medical Academy. No one in the Imperial Medical Academy objected to this.

Thus, eight-year-old Wen An created an unprecedented miracle.

If Wen An is clever and intelligent, much like Gu Jiangli, then his four-year-old brother Wen Sheng is almost exactly like Xie Shiyan.

Quiet and reserved, with a calm temperament.

At such a young age, she already possessed eyes that saw through the illusions of the world.

He had no interest in anything except the gun Xie Shiyan carried during his military campaigns.

Xie Shiyan's most handy weapon for killing enemies on the battlefield was that red-tasseled spear.

When they first got married, Xie Shiyan often got up early to practice shooting, but after the child was born, he rarely practiced anymore.

Gu Jiangli had seen him practice shooting before; his murderous aura was intimidating and awe-inspiring.

But young Wen Sheng had no idea what fear was. After he learned to walk, he went straight for the gun.

It was as if he had already set his sights on that exquisite weapon when he was still an infant.

Xie Shiyan's gun was unusually heavy; Wen Sheng, with his thin arms and legs, couldn't lift it at all.

To let Wen Sheng experience the feeling of wielding a spear, Xie Shiyan had a miniature version of a red-tasseled spear custom-made for him.

Every morning, she could see Xie Shiyan and Wen Sheng practicing shooting together in the courtyard.

Gu Jiangli, who knew nothing about martial arts, could still see that Wen Sheng was making rapid progress.

From not being able to even maintain a stable stance at the beginning to now being able to perform some moves, it has only been a short month.

Xie Shiyan put away his gun, wiped the sweat from his and Wen Sheng's foreheads, and in the blink of an eye, he saw Gu Jiangli watching them from the window.

He immediately squatted down and said to Wen Sheng, "Practice those moves again, Dad will be watching."

Wen Sheng gripped the gun barrel tightly and nodded emphatically, "Yes!"

After assigning Wen Sheng his tasks, Xie Shiyan strode over to Gu Jiangli, saying as he walked, "Up so early, did Wen Sheng and I disturb you?"

Xie Shiyan became increasingly familiar with her concern.

Gu Jiangli teased him, "How could that be? The moment I opened my eyes, I saw you and Wen Sheng and his son being close and practicing shooting together. I was overjoyed, not annoyed by the noise."

Unlike Wen An, Wen Sheng was particularly close to Xie Shiyan.

Gu Jiangli had previously thought that Wen Sheng and Xie Shiyan got along better, probably because they shared common interests.

Xie Shiyan naturally came into the house, sat down next to her, and together they watched Wen Sheng earnestly wielding his gun in the small courtyard outside the window.

He smiled and said, "Wen Sheng is a rare child with a talent for shooting."

Gu Jiangli nodded proudly, "Of course, look who gave birth to them."

“That day, Wen Sheng mentioned his brother Wen An and asked why Wen An rarely came home. I told him that it was because his brother was very popular with the emperor, and the emperor kept him in the palace. Then he asked me why his brother was so popular with the emperor. I told him that it was because his brother cured the plague in Northern Qi when he was young.”

Xie Shiyan stopped speaking at this point.

Gu Jiangli shifted her gaze from Wen Sheng to Xie Shiyan beside her.
