After agreeing on the time and place to meet with Lu Huaiyi and his son, Yu Zizhen leisurely ate a dinner with a very Western Xinjiang flavor.
It was not until dusk that she returned to Fang Huaixuan's dowry farm with her trusted guards.
After so many days of continuous treatment, Duke Weiguo's health has improved significantly. Not only does he no longer have to stay in bed most of the time, but his pains have also been greatly alleviated.
Now, Yu Zizhen has allowed him to work for two hours every day and stretch his muscles for half an hour.
Of course, Yu Zizhen’s so-called “exercises” were not what Duke Weiguo initially understood as boxing or gunplay, but rather the relatively relaxing health-preserving exercises that aimed primarily at fitness.
Now there are fresh cuts on the Duke of Weiguo's body caused by her, so Yu Zizhen only allows him to stretch his arms and legs slightly every day and move the joints of his body.
However, she did teach Duke Weiguo some other sports such as the Five Animal Exercises and Tai Chi, and told him to try practicing them after a month when the wounds on his body had completely healed.
Duke Weiguo had learned some Five Animal Exercises from someone before, so among the several exercises listed by Yu Zizhen for him, he chose Five Animal Exercises without much hesitation.
Seeing that he seemed eager to practice the same technique thoroughly again, Yu Zizhen felt uneasy and handed the matter over to Fang Huaiying and the old military doctor.
She asked the two of them to supervise the Duke of Wei well, so that he wouldn't get too excited and cause his old injuries to relapse after she left.
Yu Zizhen described the consequences of the Duke of Wei's willfulness so seriously that Fang Huaiying was so frightened that she even brought up her own sister. "Dad, you must listen to Zizhen, otherwise I will make my elder sister cry in front of you."
The old military doctor's shoulders were shaking from trying to hold back his laughter, but Fang Huaiying had really found the Duke of Wei's biggest weakness.
With a helpless look on his face, he repeatedly assured himself that he would strictly follow Yu Zizhen's instructions. In order to gain Fang Huaiying's trust, he even called his trusted attendants and guards over and asked them to help remind him in front of Fang Huaiying.
Fang Huaiying finally felt relieved, but Yu Zizhen, who got what he wanted, received a sad look from the Duke of Weiguo.
Yu Zizhen simply ignored the pitiful look of Duke Weiguo. Compared to Duke Weiguo's mood, she cared more about her own efforts and the future of the Great Qi.
She couldn't let the Duke of Wei ruin most of her efforts out of impatience and a desire to recover quickly. This man had taken so many of her points, so much of her time and energy, and if she didn't make full use of it and earn back her money completely, she would go berserk.
The Duke of Wei had no idea what Yu Zizhen was thinking. After he felt wronged, he generously ordered his trusted attendant to prepare a generous gift for Yu Zizhen.
Yu Zizhen had already informed the Duke of Weiguo that she was leaving. The Duke of Weiguo was very grateful that she would accompany Fang Huaiying to the Western Frontier at this critical juncture when others were scrambling to prepare for important events. He was also very clear that Yu Zizhen really could not stay here any longer, so he did not make empty words to keep her. He only privately instructed his trusted attendant to prepare more valuable and easy-to-carry thank-you gifts for Yu Zizhen.
As for Lu Huaiyi and his two sons, although Duke Weiguo regretted that Western Xinjiang was about to lose three useful talents, as Yu Zizhen said, as a sentimental person, he could indeed understand the guilt and longing of Lu Huaiyi and his two sons for their relatives.
***
Time flew by and it was the day that Yu Zizhen had informed them of, the day for their group to leave Western Xinjiang. Duke Weiguo, who was forbidden to drink alcohol, regretfully held a glass of tasteless water and held a farewell banquet for Yu Zizhen at the farm with rich dishes and simple staff.
Fang Huaiying and Fang Huaixuan both took time to come over. In addition, Yu Zizhen also met Fang Huaixuan's husband, a handsome and elegant scholar.
He and Fang Huaixuan didn't know that Yu Zizhen was the prince of Zhenbei. They just thought that he was simply the peerless doctor that Fang Huaiying invited back for the Duke of Weiguo.
Just like the situation in Yu Zizhen's previous life, when a doctor's medical skills reach a certain level, people will be extra polite and courteous to him.
Yu Zizhen is now the great doctor who is carefully treated by the two of them. The rapid improvement of Duke Weiguo's health makes the couple want to set up an incense table to worship Yu Zizhen.
If Fang Huaiying had not clearly told them that Yu Zizhen had things to do elsewhere and would not stay just because they offered generous conditions, the two of them actually wanted to keep her as the exclusive doctor of the Duke of Weiguo.
Yu Zizhen, who was treated as a hot commodity, not only accepted the various farewell gifts they sent, but also agreed to take Fang Huaixuan's mother-in-law's pulse after dinner when the two tentatively asked her to see her for her mother-in-law.
Fang Huaixuan's husband was overjoyed and hurriedly sent someone to pick up his elderly mother.
His mother actually didn't have any serious illness, it's just that she had been living a life of luxury for too long, and her physical condition was not as good as when she was young, so she felt uncomfortable here and there all the time.
Yu Zizhen did not prescribe her any bitter medicine, but only wrote down a daily diet and exercise plan for her to follow.
Fang Huaixuan and his wife thanked him in unison and presented him with a generous gift.
Yu Zizhen didn't bother to be polite with them. For someone like her who wanted to do big things, no matter how much money she had, it would definitely not be enough.
After receiving a stack of banknotes in a small box, Yu Zizhen bowed and said goodbye to everyone.
Duke Weiguo and others reluctantly saw her off to the door, while Fang Huaiying followed on horseback, and accompanied her all the way to the Shili Pavilion. Only then did he rein in his horse at Yu Zizhen's insistence.
Yu Zizhen smiled and waved at him, "Take care, and make sure you live to see me get that position."
Fang Huaiying's eyes twitched slightly, "Well, you have to take good care of yourself too, and make sure you sit in that position in one piece."
Yu Zizhen raised the corners of his lips, "Of course!"
After saying this, she did not stop and rode her horse straight towards the capital.
Yuheng and others followed closely behind, while Fang Huaiying brought his trusted attendants and guards, quietly watching the increasingly smaller figures of Yu Zizhen and others.
Only after they had left and disappeared from view did Fang Huaiying return to the manor where Duke Weiguo was recuperating with his trusted attendants and guards.
"Huh? Didn't you say you would send them to Shili Pavilion?" Seeing his depressed brother walking into the yard like a wandering soul, Fang Huaixuan waved his hand vigorously in front of his face.
"Hmm? Yes. It's been delivered." Fang Huaiying was a little absent-minded. He sat down opposite Fang Huaixuan and asked, "Sister, aren't you going back to the city with your brother-in-law and the others?"
"So soon?" Fang Huaixuan carefully looked at her brother's expression and said, "I'm worried about you and Dad."
