In the end, Shen Yuhan could only bow and accept the order in a low voice.
The emperor waved his hand, said no more, and signaled him to leave.
After walking out of the hall, Shen Yuhan's mood did not calm down even though he received the imperial edict.
On the contrary, my chest felt like it was being pressed by a stone, making me feel heavy and irritable.
Jiangnan’s affairs originally didn’t mean much to him, but at the moment he was upset and couldn’t even muster up the slightest interest, let alone devote himself to dealing with them.
He walked back to the mansion silently, followed by the guards, with slow and heavy steps.
After returning to the mansion, he did not immediately set out for Jiangnan. Instead, he called his men over and instructed them, "Go investigate the situation in Jiangnan, especially the origins and strength of those bandits."
"The more detailed the better. I want to see detailed intelligence within three days."
The guard bowed his head and accepted the order: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Shen Yuhan waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, he suddenly felt something in his heart and his eyes gradually became deep.
He didn't want to go to Jiangnan, nor did he want to bother with those bandits.
An idea became stronger and stronger in his mind. He wanted to go to Fang Qingyue's clinic.
Ever since Fang Qingyue disappeared, the clinic has been closed, as if with her departure, this place has also lost its vitality.
But for some reason, he always felt that there might still be a trace of her there.
"Prepare the horses." Shen Yuhan's voice was low, but it revealed a hidden anxiety.
Not long after, he galloped on his horse and headed straight towards Fang Qingyue's clinic.
As the night deepened, the streets of the capital became deserted, with only the occasional pedestrian passing by in a hurry.
Arriving at the entrance of the clinic, Shen Yuhan dismounted. The door to the clinic was tightly closed, and the door panels were covered with dust. It was obvious that no one had set foot in it for a long time.
He walked forward, reached out and pushed gently. The door creaked open a crack, and there was dead silence inside.
Shen Yuhan stood in front of the door, feeling a sharp pain in his heart.
He walked in and stood in the yard. There was no one around.
The clinic that was once full of life is now deserted and dilapidated.
He walked slowly to the front of the house, reached out and gently stroked the door frame, his fingertips lifting a thin layer of dust.
The busy figure of Fang Qingyue emerged in his mind. She often stood here, patiently decocting medicine for patients and carefully reminding them of dietary precautions.
But now, all these warm pictures have turned into a dream bubble.
Since coming to Jiangnan, Fang Qingyue quickly gained a reputation in the town for his outstanding medical skills.
As a result, neighbors all spread the word about her reputation as a miraculous doctor.
The front of the clinic was often crowded with people who came to see a doctor. Some were sick, and some were healthy, too, wanting to see this skilled female doctor with their own eyes.
These days, Fang Qingyue is using Cheng Qingyuan's family clinic to complete Liu Shan's final acupuncture treatment.
Liu Shan's condition has improved significantly. His complexion is rosy and he is much more flexible than usual.
Liu Shan was so grateful that he would visit Fang Qingyue almost every day to express his gratitude and even gave her a lot of gifts. Although Fang Qingyue declined, the neighbors saw this and trusted her medical skills even more.
That day, Fang Qingyue finished Liu Shan's last acupuncture treatment and was preparing to pack up and leave.
She had originally only borrowed the Cheng family's clinic for a few days. Now that Liu Shan's illness had healed, she planned to return to her own simple courtyard and resume her medical practice.
But unexpectedly, Cheng Qingyuan was reluctant to let her go.
"Miss Fang, don't leave so quickly!"
Cheng Qingyuan quickly caught up with her, his tone revealing a hint of urgency, "If you really leave, won't my clinic's business be much quieter?"
"Why don't we continue our cooperation? You can stay in my clinic. It will be more convenient for you to practice medicine. Why not?"
Fang Qingyue smiled slightly, with a hint of teasing in her eyes: "Mr. Cheng, are you attracted by my reputation?"
Cheng Qingyuan smiled brightly and waved his hand, saying, "Don't misunderstand, Miss Fang. My clinic has long been famous."
"It's just that your medical skills are so superb. I sincerely feel that if we can work together, we will benefit more people."
Fang Qingyue pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I don't mind."
"However, if we cooperate, we have to split the profits 50-50." She said calmly.
Cheng Qingyuan couldn't help but frown after hearing this.
Although he admired Fang Qingyue's medical skills very much, his request for a 50-50 split was indeed not low.
After all, his family's clinic has been run for generations and has accumulated a lot of money. Now that he wants Fang Qingyue to share half of the profits, he naturally feels a little hesitant.
"This matter...I need to discuss it with my parents." Cheng Qingyuan hesitated a little.
Fang Qingyue didn't take it seriously and smiled faintly, "Mr. Cheng, there's no need to rush for an answer. I'm not in a hurry either. If you're interested, you can always contact me."
Cheng Qingyuan looked at Fang Qingyue's confident look and sighed inwardly.
Although Fang Qingyue is a woman, she has extremely strong self-confidence.
Her medical skills have allowed her to gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan. Even without relying on the Cheng family, she can continue to build a reputation with her own abilities.
Seeing Cheng Qingyuan leave, Fang Qingyue said no more and continued to pack her luggage.
Just as I was about to leave the clinic, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps on the street, followed by a commotion, and the originally busy street began to become noisy.
"The bandits are coming down the mountain! Close the door and hide!"
Panic shouts were heard from the streets and alleys. The originally bustling streets suddenly became chaotic. Pedestrians hurriedly ran back home, and shops hurriedly closed their doors. The whole town became deserted in an instant.
Even outside Fang Qingyue's clinic, there were soon only empty streets left.
