Since the King of Li had no objection to Fu Bai opening a clinic, Old Master Chen had even less objection.
However, Fu Bai not only wanted to open his own clinic, but also planned to drag the women of the Chen family into his scheme.
Fu Bai leaned against Li Jingxing's chest and said, "Grandpa, if I remember correctly, Grandma was a famous gynecologist before she came to the capital, right? And Auntie, she was good at treating pediatrics."
"After my clinic opens, can I invite Grandma and Auntie to practice there?"
The Chen family is indeed a family of doctors. Not only is the old man skilled in medicine, but the old lady and the first wife are also highly accomplished in the treatment of women and children.
However, after being appointed as an imperial physician, Old Master Chen gained a clearer understanding of the situation in the capital. To avoid his wife and daughter-in-law getting involved in the shady dealings of high-ranking officials, he did not allow them to use their talents.
Because of this, Mr. Chen was often nagged by his wife.
If his wife knew that Fu Bai had given her a chance to showcase her talents, she would surely laugh and hug Fu Fu tightly, calling him "my dear grandson" over and over again.
Moreover, with the Prince of Li protecting them this time, Old Master Chen believed that as long as there were no fools in the capital, no one would dare to take advantage of his wife and daughter-in-law.
Old Master Chen's mind raced, but he said on the surface, "I can't control your grandmother. You have to talk to them yourself."
Fu Bai drawled out a "Okay~" in response.

The Chen family was filled with joy because of Fu Bai and Li Jingxing's homecoming.
Inside the palace, the Third Prince Li Jun received news that Huichun Hall was besieged by the Black Armor Army.
"What?!" Li Jun slammed his teacup on the table. "The King of Li has deployed his Black Armor Army? And he's even surrounded Doctor Chu's Huichun Hall?"
Li Jun stared sharply at the young eunuch Jixiang: "Have you found out the reason?"
Ji Xiangwei said, "I heard that the King of Li found Yelü Zonghe, the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, in Huichun Hall."
"Why would Yelü Zonghe be at Huichuntang?" Li Jun frowned.
Jixiang: "Doctor Chu saw him unconscious at the entrance of Huichuntang and saved him."
"Doctor Chu probably doesn't know Yelü Zonghe's identity."
Li Jun wasn't surprised. He sighed helplessly, "She's just too kind. She didn't even know who they were before she rescued them."
But isn't it precisely Chu Yimeng's unguarded nature that he likes?
Li Jun grew up in the palace and had seen too much intrigue and power struggles.
Six months ago, he was tricked and poisoned into a coma, but Chu Yimeng saved him.
At the time, Chu Yimeng did not know his identity, and he did not have anything valuable on him.
Even so, Chu Yimeng still took good care of him and did not treat him differently just because he was penniless.
Li Jun himself grew up in the mud, while Chu Yimeng was a white lotus flower blooming in the wind.
She remained untainted by the mud, possessing a noble and kind nature.
She only saved a seriously injured and unconscious person out of kindness, without knowing his identity.
It was truly unfair of her to be treated as a spy by the King of Li.
Li Jun narrowed his eyes, beckoned to Ji Xiang, took off his waist token and handed it to him: "Take my waist token to Huichuntang and tell the Black Armor Army that I guarantee for Doctor Chu that she has no relationship with the Second Prince of Jin, nor is she a Jin spy. Tell the Black Armor Army to withdraw from Huichuntang immediately."
Jixiang: "Yes."
After Ji Xiang left, Li Jun's face finally darkened.
He smashed the teacup on the ground, squinted, and said fiercely, "You're good for nothing but causing trouble!"
If there were no inside agents, how could Yelü Zong and the second prince of an enemy country have sneaked into the capital without anyone noticing?
Li Jun gave the Jin Kingdom an opportunity, but the Jin Kingdom simply couldn't seize it.
Yelü Zonghe not only failed to seize the opportunity to kill Li Jingxing, but also implicated Chu Yimeng.

Li Jun thought that with him in charge, the Black Armor Army would at least give him face and withdraw from Huichuntang.
However, when Ji Xiang returned half an hour later, he told Li Jun that the Black Armor Army had shown him no respect whatsoever.
Even if Ji Xiang produced Li Jun's waist token, he still couldn't get close to Huichuntang.
Ji Xiang boasted, “Commander Zhao of the Black Armor Army said that if I dare to approach Huichun Hall again, I will be treated as a Jin spy.”
"Did they really say that?" Li Jun asked with a dark face.
What are the Black Armor Army anyway?
They didn't even give the royal family any face!
Ji Xiang chimed in, "Your Highness, you didn't see how arrogant Commander Zhao was. He clearly knew that I was one of Your Highness's men, yet he still wouldn't even look at me properly. He even said that without the Li King's order, they couldn't possibly have left Huichun Hall."
—It's unclear whether they were the King of Li's private soldiers or soldiers of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
Of course, Ji Xiang didn't dare say the last sentence aloud, as he knew that such words would be too disrespectful.
"Good! Very good!" Li Jun's eyes were bloodshot.
Ever since Li Jingxing returned to the capital after falling insane, he had no longer felt the stifling feeling of being suppressed by Li Jingxing everywhere. How long has it been? Li Jingxing and his Black Armor Army have become arrogant!
That's really great!
"I, the prince, will personally confront the Black Armor Army!"
After saying this, Li Jun turned and left.
He refused to believe that with him personally present, the Black Armor Army would still disrespect him.
However, as it turned out, even when he personally went to Huichuntang, Commander Zhao of the Black Armor Army still stopped him.
Commander Zhao reached out to block Li Jun, saying, "Your Highness, please return. This matter is of great importance, and I cannot make the decision on my own."
Li Jun stared intently at Commander Zhao, his furious gaze seeming to burn Commander Zhao to ashes.
"Zhao Shen!" Li Jun said through gritted teeth, "I'm telling you to take your men and leave Huichuntang right now."
Commander Zhao remained unmoved.
