Capital city.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince has fallen ill, and the plague medicine has been exposed as counterfeit. Now the people of Yicheng are unstable, and the army of Xiliang will attack the city in two days. We trusted Yun Miao too much before. If it weren't for his lies, we would not have handed the lifeline of Yicheng into his hands. Now the situation is critical. If Yicheng really falls, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Yun Shengzhi stood in front of the court and said anxiously to Mu Qianqiu above.

The capital city is always paying attention to the situation in Yicheng. Hearing that Yicheng is now in chaos, everyone in the capital city is as anxious as ants about to cause trouble.

A group of civil officials could no longer hold back. "Even if Yun Miao is labeled an eternal sinner, he can't afford to pay back the entire Yicheng City. I've heard rumors that Yun Miao and the Third Prince have a close relationship, and the two of them even rode on the same horse. This is truly ungentlemanly."

"Yun Miao, as the director of the Imperial Hospital, has openly violated the rules of gentlemanly friendship with the Third Prince, disregarding any distinction between high and low. Now, he's producing counterfeit medicine, putting the Third Prince in dire straits. Even a medical genius deserves death!"

Facing the indignation of the old men, Mu Qianqiu above was listening impatiently: "Enough!"

As soon as he spoke, the whole hall fell silent instantly.

"Now that the country is in crisis, you old guys are not united against the enemy but are instead engaging in internal strife, which will only play into the enemy's hands. I am very clear about Dean Yun's medical skills. There must be other inside stories about the fake medicine. I also believe in Sheng'er's strength and she will not be defeated by the mere Xiliang Army. Now that we are thirsty for water from afar, we can only wait for news. Whatever the outcome, we will leave it to fate!" Mu Qianqiu narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance of the hall, "Dismiss the court!"

Mu Linyuan in the corner seemed to be thinking about something.

He digested the news he had received in recent days and felt that things were not that simple.

After the court was dismissed, Yun Shengzhi immediately walked to Mu Linyuan's side and said cautiously and respectfully, "Second Prince, you are indeed very patient. This plague and Su Qingyan are not so easy to deal with. That brat Yun Miao has become the target of public criticism. If Yicheng is really lost, it will be Yun Miao's fault for exaggerating. At that time, we will still need Second Prince to be the pillar of support and shoulder the heavy responsibility..."

Unexpectedly, Mu Linyuan glanced at him nonchalantly and sneered, "Prime Minister Yun, do you know how the Flying Cavalry was defeated?"

"Uh... I don't know, I would like to hear the details." Yun Shengzhi didn't expect Mu Linyuan to suddenly mention this.

Then he said calmly, "Mulansheng has acquired a new weapon that even the Flying Cavalry fears. This weapon was developed by Yun Miao. So, do you think Yun Miao, with his strength, would really make such a ridiculous claim to create an antidote to the plague?"

"Then...what are those fake medicines?" Yun Shengzhi was surprised.

"Those fake medicines were sold at high prices, not distributed for free. Do you think the antidotes sent directly from the court would be sold at high prices? Obviously, those medicines were not obtained through legitimate means." Mu Linyuan knew everything, but did not defend himself in the court.

Yun Shengzhi reacted, "I see. Doesn't that mean there's something fishy about the Third Prince's illness?"

"Hehe, it doesn't matter whether it is true or not. What matters is that the antidote for Yicheng has now been intercepted by the Western Liang Kingdom. The military camp in Yicheng is trapped in the plague and can't wait for the antidote. Now the people in the city and the camp are in chaos. The Western Liang army is pressing directly on the border, leaving no chance to breathe. There are only two days left for internal and external troubles. Even if he has some powerful weapons, it's probably too late." Mu Linyuan was also curious about what method Mu Lansheng had to use to get out of this predicament.

The Western Liang Kingdom fought a war of hearts and minds, of military morale, and of time.

"It seems that the Second Prince has long known that the situation in Yicheng is in a dire straits! I admire you very much. Now I am afraid that we don't even need to take action. Mulansheng is bound to lose." Yun Shengzhi laughed.

…

tent.

Ye Feng and Lin Feng packed up the medicine and left, and Yun Miao followed them out from behind.

Seeing Yun Miao, who had been in seclusion for a day, Chang Fang and the others surrounded her with concern: "Master, you've finally come out!"

"Master, the city is in chaos now. Doctor Qiu and his colleagues' clinics have been surrounded by mobs. The Third Prince is also seriously ill. Everyone in the camp says that we are leaderless now. The Xiliang army will approach the day after tomorrow, and we can only sit and wait for death." Ah Hei said with a serious expression.

Yun Miao looked at them calmly: "I already know the situation outside."

"Then, Master, why aren't you anxious?" Bai Shao's expression wrinkled into a pile, and then she muttered, "I'm so angry! Your medicine is obviously effective. So many people in Yancheng have recovered. How could it be fake? Those who spread rumors must be spies from the Western Liang Kingdom. We should go out and clarify..."

"One mouth cannot speak louder than a hundred others. Besides... those are not rumors. They did take the medicine made from the prescription I wrote." Yun Miao explained.

"Ah? Then...how come it's useless?" Ah Qing asked in surprise.

Yun Miao explained, "Because even if it's a prescription I wrote, if you don't refine the medicine according to my instructions, the effect will naturally be very different."

"Could it be that someone stole the prescription and made the medicine?" Chang Fang reacted instantly.

"If that's the case, then why did the Third Prince fall ill? Thanks to your medicine, we haven't been infected along the way..." Ah Hei was puzzled.

Yun Miao smiled and said, "I don't know. Maybe he wants to be lazy?"

Looking at Yun Miao's reaction, everyone instantly realized something... and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then…

"Where is Doctor Yun?" Suddenly, a little soldier ran over from a distance.

His gaze fell on Yun Miao searchingly, a flash of contempt flashing across his eyes: "Divine Doctor Yun, our General Weihu invites you!"

"Oh? I need to develop an antidote for the Third Prince now. General Weihu, what can I do for you?" Yun Miao looked at him.

Unexpectedly, the soldier sneered, "The Third Prince is already ill, so why are you still developing an antidote? If you could really develop an antidote, there wouldn't be so many rumors about fake drugs out there. If you weren't hiding in this camp, you would probably be eaten alive if you went out!"

"How dare you! Who allowed you to speak to our owner in such an attitude?" Bai Shao said with a red face.

The soldiers were unimpressed: "He's just a small imperial physician. We at the border only respect generals and military commanders, not a weak and incompetent fake imperial consort."

Hearing this, Yun Miao raised her hand to stop the quarrel between the two: "Since it is General Wei Hu who wants to invite us, then Yun Miao naturally has no right to refuse. Lead the way!"

Chang Fang and the others wanted to follow Yun Miao, but were stopped by the soldier: "General Wei Hu only wants to see Pavilion Master Yun."
