Very perceptive, very intelligent.
Li Hengyi suddenly thought of Xie Zhinuan.
She was also very perceptive, clever, full of ideas, and adamant in her own thoughts.
“You are very good, keep up the hard work!” Li Hengyi said gravely.
Jiang Hongyan nodded, “Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness, where did you get that medicine pill? If I become a general in the future and establish military achievements, could you introduce me to them? I would like to thank the divine doctor who developed the medicine pill in person!”
As she spoke, Jiang Hongyan took off the Jade Pendant from her neck, “I have worn this Jade Pendant since I was a child. Your Highness, could you please pass it on to that divine doctor for me, and say, say that I…”
Will seek him out one day.
If he has not married by then, she would be willing to offer herself to him, to bear his children.
But, the premise was that she would return alive and by that time he would still be unmarried.
She, Jiang Hongyan, would not be a concubine, nor would she be someone else’s mistress.
“Alright!”
Li Hengyi agreed.
Little did he know that this agreement of his would bring a rival in love upon himself.
Jiang Hongyan smiled.
It was a smile touched with a hint of tenderness.

Li Hengyi didn’t see it, but Yuanbao did.He felt something was amiss, a premonition of trouble.
In early December, Li Hengyi received a letter from Xie Zhinuan.
He couldn’t wait to open it. After reading the letter, he glanced at the pile of clothes and bedding beside him, fell silent for a moment, then started to check the items.
Everything was as described in the letter, with nothing extra, but why were there two small ink spots on the letter?
He knew Xie Zhinuan’s character well enough to be sure she wouldn’t just send such a brief letter without a good reason.
“Yuanbao!”
“Yes, master?”
“Check the clothes and the bedding, every item, carefully and thoroughly!”
Worried that Yuanbao wouldn’t be thorough enough, he also had Li Xi join the search.
One of them took the first run through, and the other, the second.
“Master!”
Yuanbao found something small, and he knew that Xie Zhinuan had many such tiny porcelain bottles in her possession.
He carefully took it out.
It was a tiny porcelain bottle.
Yuanbao opened it and took a gentle sniff, his eyes lighting up immediately, “Master, it’s a medicine pill. Miss Xie sent you a medicine pill!”
Li Hengyi took the porcelain bottle.
And in that moment, he understood what those two small ink spots meant.
Xie Zhinuan was telling him that there were two medicine pills, but he mustn’t let anyone know. So, she had dropped two spots of ink in the hope that he would understand.
“Such a clever girl!” Li Hengyi praised as he put away the porcelain bottle.
How many more such treasures did Xie Zhinuan have?
December 15th
Fengping County
Xie Yi caught a bit of a cold, and even feeding him spiritual spring water didn’t help. They had to ask Wang Shaoyu to feel his pulse, “He’s caught a chill. A few doses of boiled medicine should set him right!”
Upon hearing this, Xie Yi tightly grabbed Xie Zhinuan’s coat, shaking his head vigorously, “Mom, no!”
“Mom, no!”
He didn’t want to take medicine, it was bitter, so bitter!
Xie Zhinuan patiently comforted him, had Wang Shaoyu prescribe the medicine, then sent a servant to the pharmacy to get the herbs.
“Why do you not try prescribing the medicine yourself?” Wang Shaoyu asked.
Xie Zhinuan, surprised, laughed and said, “I don’t even know how to feel for a pulse yet, how could I prescribe medicine? That would be harmful!”
She took a handkerchief and wiped Xie Yi’s nose.
As the end of the year approached, she was very busy, so she had let Xie Yi sleep with Uncle Mute. But after just one night, he had caught a chill.
It seemed he still needed to sleep beside her.
That was what Xie Zhinuan was thinking.
“Actually, you could give it a try. I always feel like you learn very quickly, and that day, the prescription you mentioned, I studied it carefully, it’s much more ingenious than the original one!”
“Really?” Xie Zhinuan asked in surprise.
“Absolutely, don’t underestimate yourself. I think you’re doing very well!” Wang Shaoyu said softly.
In recent days, he had been exposed to many medical texts and had made progress in his medical skills.
Moreover, he felt that Xie Zhinuan’s achievements would be much greater than his own in the future.
The prescription mentioned by Xie Zhinuan that day treated the same ailment more ingeniously than the others and was more effective at curing the disease.
