After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

As Jiang Xiao passed by Zhengyang Gate, she was awestruck by the solemn and majestic palace buildings.

What a huge house! What a tall building!

No wonder this is where the emperor lives.

Jiang Xiao silently gripped Lin Siheng's sleeve.

Lin Siheng sensed the little liar's unease and intertwined her fingers with his.

The little swindler's hands were so soft that he didn't dare to use any force, for fear of breaking them.

Upon entering the side hall, Jiang Xiao dared not raise her head at all.

Gongyang Xun sat in his wheelchair with a cold expression, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or not.

If it were in the past, Lin Siheng would definitely have noticed his abnormality.

But now he was busy talking about love and didn't notice his friend's expression at all, which showed no joy whatsoever.

On the contrary, Yuan Yuan's hands, hidden under her sleeves, trembled slightly.

He restrained himself, trying his best not to lose control.

Bai Yuchen was already waiting in the side hall.

After examining the patient, Bai Yuchen said, "This is not a congenital deficiency; the patient was poisoned while still in the womb."

Everyone gasped.

Lin Siheng quickly said, "This shouldn't have anything to do with my dad, right? He doesn't seem like the type to poison a pregnant woman."

Jiang Xiao opened her eyes wide.

Huh? This seems to be some incredible secret.

Bai Yuchen said, "This poison is called Biluocha, and it was created by some alien sorcerers in the Northern Territory."

Gongyang Xun suddenly remembered that his nominal father, his father's real husband, was a foreigner from the northern border.

"Uncle Bai, will my friend be able to stand up again?" Lin Siheng asked.

Bai Yuchen said, "Okay."

"Is it easy to cure?" Lin Siheng asked again.

Bai Yuchen added, "It's not difficult to treat, but some herbs are hard to find."

"Just tell me, and I'll go find it."

Bai Yuchen picked up a pen and wrote down several medicinal herbs, then handed them to Lin Siheng.

"All I know for now is that the Dragon Scale Flower is in Yongzhou, and the Blue Grass is in Huzhou. As for where the Pulan Sutra is, I don't have any clues yet."

Lin Siheng folded the paper with the three medicinal herbs written on it and put it into his clothes.

He patted Gongyang Xun on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you stand up again."

Gongyang Xun's lips moved slightly, and he whispered, "Thank you."

"No need, we're like family." Lin Siheng originally wanted to say, "I'm your godfather."

Considering this is the imperial palace, such a statement would be too impolite, so let's leave it at that.

Gongyang Xun also breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, this person didn't cause any trouble in the palace.

Lin Siheng asked, "Uncle Bai, when do we need these three medicines?"

"The sooner the better."

"Okay, I'll bring these three herbs back as soon as possible."

Bai Yuchen said, "Come see me every three days from now on. More acupuncture treatments should help improve your condition."

Gongyang Xun nodded obediently.

Lin Siheng asked, "By the way, Uncle Bai, what are the rules for accepting apprentices in Baishui City?"

Bai Yuchen replied, "I will do as I please."

Lin Siheng immediately pushed Jiang Xiao in front of Bai Yuchen, "Uncle Bai, can you teach him medicine?"

"Want to study medicine?" Bai Yuchen asked Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao nodded timidly, "I do."

"Zhixuan, go and fetch the first three volumes of the Materia Medica," Bai Yuchen said to Jiang Xiao. "I can lend you some medical books first. If you can memorize them all, then you can come and become my apprentice."

"Lord City Lord, I've memorized the contents of the first three volumes of the Materia Medica," Jiang said with a smile. "Licorice root tonifies the spleen and replenishes qi, clears heat and detoxifies, relieves cough and stops phlegm, and harmonizes various medicines..."

"Can you recite the first three volumes?"

Jiang Xiao nodded timidly.

"Not bad." Bai Yuchen gave a satisfied smile and said to Zhi Xuan, "Take the fourth volume."

"Yes, Father."

Zhi Xuan brought out the fourth volume and handed it to Jiang Xiao, saying, "This volume contains rare and exotic herbs that are not commonly seen. Take a look."

Jiang Xiao quickly took the medical book with both hands, knelt down, and performed an awkward and unorthodox salute.

He didn't understand the rules of these greetings, but he knew that kneeling down and kowtowing was definitely the right thing to do.

Bai Yuchen sighed softly, "We are not yet master and disciple, so there is no need for you to perform such a grand ceremony for me."

"Yes, I want to!" Jiang Xiao said stubbornly. "If you give me the book, I have to pay my respects."

Lin Siheng helped Jiang Xiao up and gently patted his knees.

At this moment, Yin Mo also finished his official business and came in. "How is it? Can Siheng's leg still be cured?"

"It's just detoxification; it can cure the disease."

Before anyone could react, Yao Yuanyuan suddenly knelt down at Yin Mo's feet.

"Your Majesty, I am from Qingshui County in Yunzhou, and my father was the magistrate of Qingshui County. He did not conceal the gold mine or embezzle state funds; he was wronged. I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly and clear my father's name!"

Yin Mo was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Your father is Wei Mingyi?"

Yuan Yuan's eyes were filled with tears. "Exactly."

"Tell me everything you know," Yin Mo said.

Yuan Yuan began to tell her story.

His name was Wei Sheng, and he was from Qingshui County, Yunzhou.

Ten years ago, a gold mine was discovered in the territory of Qingshui County, and some people secretly mined it to make huge profits.

Unexpectedly, the matter was exposed, and the imperial court dispatched an imperial envoy to investigate the case.

Wei Mingyi worked tirelessly for a long time without sleep to finally capture the ringleader of the villain.

Unexpectedly, the villains turned on them, claiming that the mastermind was Wei Mingyi.

A number of gold nuggets and letters between Wei Mingyi and his boss were found in Wei Mingyi's study. With such a wealth of evidence, there was almost no room for overturning the case.

Others may not know what kind of person Wei Mingyi is, but his son Yuanyuan knows him all too well.

His father could never have monopolized the gold mine and deceived his superiors.

After hearing this, Yin Mo said, "I will send people to investigate, so you don't need to worry."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yuan immediately kowtowed.

Lin Siheng glanced at Gongyang Xun. On the way back, he couldn't help but ask, "Why do you seem unhappy when you hear it can cure legs?"

Gongyang Xun shook his head. "No, I'm very happy."

Gongyang Xun looked as if he had seen through the illusions of life and death, as if he were about to shave his head and become a monk.

Judging from that face, which looks like it's about to burst into tears, it would be a miracle if he wasn't happy.

Lin Siheng's gaze shifted back and forth between Gongyang Xun and Yuanyuan.

"Did you two have a fight?"

"no."

That's strange. The two of them used to be very close, but at least they never argued.

Although they didn't argue, you could tell from their auras that one was melancholy and the other was filled with sorrow.

When Yuan Yuan left the palace, he still couldn't believe it. He had thought he would never be able to clear his father's name in this lifetime.

But unexpectedly, they ended up in the capital city.

A fire that had been dormant for many years finally saw the light of day again.

He was even prepared to be dragged down by the emperor and flogged, or to be imprisoned.

However, His Majesty simply listened quietly until he finished speaking, showing no sign of impatience whatsoever.

His Majesty said he would thoroughly investigate what happened back then.

Therefore, he believed.

If even His Majesty cannot be trusted, then there is nothing in this world that can be trusted.
