"Then, then! As long as you can be safe and sound, we will all be at ease." Lu Yong nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with love and relief.
At that moment, the physician spoke again: "General Lin is still weak and needs more rest to recuperate. Everyone should step back for now, allowing him to recover in peace."
Thus, the crowd slowly exited the room, trying their best to make no noise so as not to disturb Lin Feng's rest.
During these few days, Lu Yong had not been idle at all. Ever since he learned that someone had secretly harmed Lin Feng, he immediately joined forces with Mardu to begin an investigation. Unfortunately, the culprit had already perished in that fierce battle.
Despite their efforts and extensive inquiries, the limited clues led them to conclude that the incident was indeed caused by someone within their ranks. As for those who had miraculously survived, none recognized the perpetrator, leaving the entire case at a standstill—truly a situation where there were no witnesses to confirm anything.
Inside Wu City Palace, tranquility reigned. However, beneath this seemingly calm surface lay countless swirling thoughts and emotions.
Since Jing Kingdom withdrew its troops, Lin Zhen's long-strained nerves finally relaxed; his mood soared to new heights. The successful alliance with Liang Kingdom not only brought substantial benefits but also dealt a heavy blow to Jing Kingdom's long-standing arrogance and overbearing attitude.
Recalling the past, every time Jing Kingdom invaded the borders, they had to pay a hefty price, sacrificing many brave soldiers just to barely fend them off. It was an unavoidable situation; after all, Jing Kingdom's cavalry was fierce and battle-hardened.
But now, the situation had changed.
Lin Zhen sat on the dragon throne, pondering: "Since Jing Kingdom has withdrawn its troops, Feng Er must be returning soon." At this thought, a slight smile crept onto his lips, revealing a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.
Days passed one by one. Finally, on the fourth day after Lu Yong sent out a messenger, exciting news arrived urgently!
With a loud call, the report swiftly reached Lin Zhen like a bolt of lightning. He eagerly took the report and opened it; his previously smiling face instantly shifted through various expressions.
The young eunuch serving nearby was adept at reading emotions. Although he could not see the specific contents of the report, he could guess from the emperor's changing demeanor that it must contain significant news.
This was certainly no ordinary message!
Lin Zhen's expression was grave as he commanded, "Immediately issue an edict for the Imperial Physicians to rush to Tongguan, bringing with them a sufficient quantity and variety of herbs."
The young eunuch standing nearby sprang into action at the order, not daring to delay for even a moment. He hurried out of the palace to convey the Emperor's command.
At this moment, the vast palace was left with only Lin Zhen, who silently gazed at the memorial report that had just been presented to him. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper, his heart weighed down as if by a thousand-pound stone.
Given the circumstances, no matter how dire the situation became, he could only place all his hopes on the actions of the Imperial Physicians.
Meanwhile, within the Imperial Medical Department, the physicians who received Lin Zhen's edict scrambled to pack their belongings. They understood the urgency of the matter and that disobeying the Emperor's command was not an option, so they prepared as quickly as possible.
Before long, several physicians set off for Tongguan, their heavy medicine boxes slung over their shoulders.
