"Is this Duoduo's own idea?" After pondering for a moment, Yun Beiye asked her.
"Yes! Many palace maids don't respect the imperial physicians, which delays their treatment. Duoduo wants to help them," Yun Duoduo said sincerely.
Although she came up with this idea mainly because she wanted to upgrade the medicine box, she was also willing to help the vulnerable groups in the palace at the same time.
[As expected of my daughter, she cares deeply for the people even at such a young age.]
Hearing Yun Beiye's heartfelt words, Yun Duoduo felt somewhat ashamed. "Uh, Father, please don't flatter me!"
"Has Duoduo made up her mind?" Yun Beiye looked at her. [As long as my daughter has made her own decision, no matter what outsiders or officials say, I will support her.]
"Yes, Duoduo has thought it through." Yun Duoduo nodded, answering crisply.
"Alright, whatever you want to do, your father will support you!"
[So...smooth?!]
"Your father heard from your third uncle that you have a great talent for medicine. This is good, as it will allow you to help those in the palace who need it, and also improve your medical skills by studying the symptoms of these patients."
"Yes, hands-on experience is always better than theoretical knowledge."
Waaaaah, Daddy's so good!
"Duoduo, for the medicine, just go to the Imperial Medical Bureau and the Pharmacy to get it. I will instruct them. Just go and get whatever you need."
Yun Duoduo looked incredulous. In the palace, all medicines used had to be recorded, and some precious medicinal materials had to be ordered in advance.
Wow, Daddy, you really spoil me!
[Fathers, please roll them up according to this standard, okay?!]
"But, Duoduo, you must promise me one thing."
"What is it?" Yun Duoduo looked at Yun Beiye, who had suddenly become serious, and her heart tightened, her breathing becoming rapid.
"When treating the palace maids, you must protect yourself and avoid catching their illness," Yun Beiye said, looking at her with some concern.
"Duoduo understands, Father, rest assured!"
With a "pop," Yun Duoduo kissed Yun Beiye on the cheek.
Yun Beiye was stunned for a moment, then beamed with joy. He stood up, lifted Yun Duoduo up, and spun her around. Yun Duoduo had been a little itchy from the stubble on Yun Beiye's face, and now that she was being lifted up, she felt dizzy as if she was about to float away.
Wow, this is Daddy's version of kisses, hugs, and piggyback rides!
...
The next morning, after Baili Mingwen and Miao Nanyan had breakfast, he took Miao Nanyan to the main hall.
When they arrived at the main hall, Baili Yingfeng was still fast asleep.
"Mother, I'm entrusting Father to you." With that, Baili Mingwen ran out.
Miao Nanyan sat beside his wooden bed, looking at the once most powerful man in Beiliang.
He, who once commanded respect and struck fear into the hearts of his enemies, repeatedly lost his life in the hands of the King of Hell.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She was frowning and sighing when she heard a dissatisfied hum in her ear.
"I'm not dead yet, who are you trying to fool with that bitter look on your face?" Baili Yingfeng said irritably.
Miao Nanyan quickly composed herself. She was a sentimental person by nature, and having been away from her hometown for so long had given her many feelings about the vicissitudes of life.
"Did you heal my wounds?" Baili Yingfeng stared at her, his tone questioning, but he already knew the answer in his heart.
He had already heard that these assassins had killed all the imperial physicians in the palace. [A bunch of sons of bitches!]
[Killing me is one thing, but you even want to kill those defenseless old imperial physicians!]
Baili Yingfeng's eyes turned bloodshot with rage at the thought.
Miao Nanyan nodded.
The moment he opened his mouth, hearing his cold tone and seeing his angry expression and fierce eyes, her pity and respect for him vanished without a trace.
"Your Majesty, let me examine your wounds." For Baili Mingwen's sake, all she needed to do was revive his father and keep him from dying.
Before Baili Yingfeng could react, Miao Nanyan undressed him.
"Miao Nanyan, do you even know what shame is?"
Miao Nanyan said irritably, "In front of a doctor, there is no distinction between men and women."
Baili Yingfeng remained silent; he had never seen Miao Nanyan so aggressive.
Why did this woman's attitude change so drastically?
Unlike her usual timid and submissive self, is this her true self?
She carefully examined the wound. Fortunately, the stitches hadn't come undone; however, there seemed to be a raised area.
"Consort Nan!" Someone outside was calling her.
"Your Majesty, I'll be going out for a moment."
Baili Yingfeng was dumbfounded. Her clothes had been undressed, and she was actually going to go out for a bit?
Looking at his exposed body, he had no choice but to endure the pain and slowly fasten his clothes back on.
Stepping out of the main hall, I saw a man with a bewitching and alluring face.
"Uncle Gongsun!" Baili Mingwen called out.
[It turns out that this person is Gongsun Jing, a close friend who grew up with Baili Yingfeng, and is now the garrison commander of Shangjing.]
"Lord Gongsun." Miao Nanyan bowed slightly.
Gongsun Jing returned the greeting, "Mingwen, go see your father first. I'd like to have a few words with the Empress."
"good."
Seeing Gongsun Jing's serious and tense expression, a stark contrast to his usual playful demeanor, Baili Mingwen found it all quite strange.
"Consort Nan, come here." Gongsun Jing beckoned her closer.
Miao Nanyan looked at him suspiciously, "What is it?"
Gongsun Jing opened his mouth and then closed it again, looking embarrassed.
