Even after they sat down in the house and had a cup of tea, Ling Jingyu and his companion remained very kind and approachable, looking at Ling Yongnian and his companion like elders.

The two's unusual behavior caused Ling Yongnian and Mo Bilian to exchange a glance.

Finally, they concluded that Ling Jingyu and Mo Yunzhao must need their help.

Yes, that must be it.

"Your Highness, your brother has come to bring good news..."

Ling Jingyu exclaimed and cupped his hands in a cheerful greeting, "Congratulations! When will you two get married? As your second brother, I will definitely go to the wedding to drink some wine and give my generous gift."

Mo Bilian panicked, "No, I..."

Mo Yunzhao nodded with a smile, "This is truly a joyous occasion. I, the city lord, will add to the dowry."

"Your Majesty, I have someone in my heart, so there's no need for you to worry."

As he spoke, Ling Yongnian looked up and gazed at Mo Yunzhao with deep affection.

Mo Yunzhao looked up, her eyebrows arched slightly, and smiled brightly.

But for some reason, Ling Yongnian felt that there was a hint of danger in that smile.

Ling Jingyu glanced at Ling Yongnian's knee with his peach blossom eyes.

Mo Bilian quickly changed the subject, "Your Highness, the epidemic in Sunjia Village has been brought under control. The villagers' symptoms have all disappeared. In the past seven days, no villagers have died, and no new villagers have been infected."

Ling Jingyu remained silent, turned slightly to the side, grabbed a strand of Mo Yunzhao's loose hair, and then entwined it around his fingers.

Mo Yunzhao glanced at it lightly.

Seeing that neither of them reacted, Ling Yongnian said bluntly, "Your Majesty, I understand your meaning, but now that seven days have passed, the epidemic has stabilized and there are no side effects. On the contrary..."

He paused for a moment, then said bluntly, "On the contrary, those being treated on the Crown Prince's side are still not well, and their conditions are even showing signs of worsening."

Ling Jingyu held a strand of black hair and gently twirled it between his fingertips. “I know what I’m doing, so there’s no need for my third brother to worry about it.”

"Your Majesty, I am only worried about the people. They are still just children." Ling Yongnian's face showed concern and deep sorrow.

Ling Jingyu hummed in agreement.

Seeing his indifferent reaction, Ling Yongnian asked again, "Your Highness, are you aware of the promise that Lord Mo made for you?"

Ling Jingyu still didn't look up, still entwined with Mo Yunzhao's hair.

Ling Yongnian said excitedly, "While there's still time to salvage the situation, Your Highness, don't hold a grudge against your younger brother. Even if you don't care about the lives of the people, you should at least think about your position as Crown Prince. If something goes wrong, you'll be in serious trouble..."

Mo Bailian took out a handkerchief and pressed it to the corner of her mouth. "That was just something Third Sister said casually. How could it represent His Highness the Crown Prince? It doesn't count."

Ling Jingyu raised his head, his voice slightly cold: "Ah Zhao's meaning is my meaning."

Mo Yunzhao seized the opportunity to take back her hair.

Ling Yongnian stood up excitedly, "I beg Your Highness to give those patients Doctor Yang's medicine. You don't need to ask for the prescription; I implore you to give them the medicine."

"When you ask someone for help, you should have the right attitude." Ling Jingyu glanced at his knees.

Ling Yongnian's face flushed with anger, and he lifted his robe and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I humbly request that you administer Doctor Yang's medicine to the villagers."

Mo Bilian said softly, "Senior brother, please don't be like this. The Crown Prince is a divine physician and has his own methods of treatment. We should trust him."

After saying that, she looked up and gave Ling Jingyu a smile that said, "I trust you."

But Ling Jingyu only glanced at the hair that Mo Yunzhao was protecting.

Seeing that he remained unmoved, Ling Yongnian stopped kneeling, stood up abruptly, and looked down at Ling Jingyu who was sitting.
