Head of the Imperial Physician Courtyard and Grand Tutor at the same time?
Gu Beiyue was undoubtedly the head of the Imperial Physician Courtyard, but he was still a little fearful of the position of Grand Tutor.
The Grand Tutor was the imperial tutor! Not only was he the emperor's teacher, but he was also the crown prince's teacher. This was a heavy responsibility!
A complicated look flitted past Gu Beiyue's eyes, but he still nodded. "Many thanks for Your Highness's appreciation. This one …"
Long Fei Ye cut him off. "Think it over before you answer me. There's no rush."
Gu Beiyue nodded. "Alright."
Gu Beiyue and Mu Ling 'er took Gu back to Medical City, while Ning Jing and Tang Li headed for the Tang Clan. Only Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi's family remained in Rear Camp.
The temporary capital of Yunning Prefecture was more or less finished, and the imperial palace was built on the old site of the government offices.
Everyone assumed that Long Fei Ye would proclaim himself emperor on his son's one-month-old birthday. But Long Fei Ye only moved into Yunning Palace on Rui 'er's one-month-old birthday.
This time, everyone began to speculate. Besides Northern Li, the rest of Cloud Realm Continent was still in Long Fei Ye's hands. Everything was in place, so why hadn't Long Fei Ye proclaimed himself emperor?
What was he waiting for?
Both the East Qin camp and the East Qin camp were waiting for Long Fei Ye to pay his respects at the East Qin mausoleum and acknowledge his ancestors before reviving the East Qin Empire and proclaiming himself emperor.
Meanwhile, the Western Qin camp was worried. If Long Fei Ye revived the East Qin Empire, where would Western Qin stand? Does the princess care about this matter?
Long Fei Ye's lack of movement and Han Yunxi's silence made both sides uneasy. The West Qin camp didn't care. Whether Long Fei Ye revived the East Qin or the Great Qin, it didn't affect them much. They were all hoping that Long Feiye would proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible so that he could be rewarded according to his merits.
Han Yunxi was probably the only one who knew what Long Feiye was waiting for.
On Rui 'er's one-month-old birthday, all factions sent him gifts of heavenly treasures and extravagant gifts. Long Fei Ye didn't even look at them, but had Zhao mama bring Rui 'er over so he could eat with Han Yunxi.
He personally ordered someone to take out the treasured sword, Ice Stream, from the Hidden Sword Pavilion of Tianshan Mountain and give it to Rui 'er. Long Long Fei Ye 'er's father, Long Fei Ye's's father, Ye's father.
In fact, there was only one reason Long Fei Ye hadn't proclaimed himself emperor yet. He was waiting for the plague in Northern Li to end and the war to end.
He didn't want to start a new empire while the plague was running rampant in the north, nor did he want to establish a new country while Ning Cheng was still on the battlefield. Ning Cheng hadn't returned yet. When he proclaimed himself emperor, the Di Clan would definitely come to bother Han Yunxi.
He had a bet with Ning Cheng, and the internal affairs of the Di Clan would be left to Ning Cheng to deal with.
As soon as Long Fei Ye gave permission for Ning Cheng to send troops, Ning Cheng immediately set out with limited provisions, and more provisions were on the way.
Vice Academy Head Shen of Medical City had already sent a medical team of more than twenty people to Northern Li to support Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng wasn't going to war, but disaster relief. In that case, medical teams and medicinal ingredients were more important than soldiers and provisions.
If Rui 'er wasn't so young, Han Yunxi would've personally organized a medical team and rushed to Northern Li. She couldn't travel far, but she didn't idle around either.
While Long Fei Ye was busy with military and government affairs, she personally took charge of the distribution of medicinal ingredients and acted as the middleman between Medicine City and Medical City.
She was the disciple of the King Of Medicine in name and had a deep friendship with the Old Man Of Alchemy. In addition, the great clans in Medicine City had received support from her and Long Fei Ye. Thus, when she asked for medicinal ingredients, no one in Medicine City refused. On the contrary, many clans took the initiative to deliver them. Regarding the cost of medicinal herbs, everyone expressed their willingness to contribute to the disaster relief.
Han Yunxi didn't refuse these free ingredients and accepted them all. The clans in Medicine City were well-off to begin with. Even if they provided a few more batches of medicinal ingredients, it didn't mean much to them. On the other hand, no matter how rich Long Fei Ye was, he would save where he could.
Moreover, the Long Fei Ye had spent an incalculable amount on military pay and provisions in the past two years.
After so many years of war, the national treasuries of Tian An, Tianning, and Western Zhou were all empty. Even after conquering these three countries, they hadn't taken much silver from them.
Leaving aside the rebuilding of the country after the war, just rebuilding Yunning Palace and Tian An's imperial palace would cost a lot of silver! Where would all this money come from? Some came from Long Fei Ye's own pockets, while others came from Jiangnan's financial clans and aristocratic families.
The southern military had the fewest military achievements, so why were they so confident in their words in the military world? It was all because they were backed by large financial clans.
Han Yunxi knew that money would be needed everywhere once the country was established. She didn't know what kind of bottomless pit Cloud Realm's finances would be after the war. She only knew that she should save as much money as she could for Long Fei Ye. She was even beginning to look for new sources of income for Long Fei Ye's national treasury.
Actually, the medical market was a good way to earn money, but once the imperial court took control of the medical industry, it would no longer be profitable.
Even if it was a good source of income, Han Yunxi wouldn't set her sights on the medical industry. If she wanted to make money, she couldn't earn it from the common people!
In her heart, Han Yunxi set her sights on the large clans and financial clans of Jiangnan. Of course, this was all for later.
With Han Yunxi personally taking charge of the investigation, everything went smoothly.
After Gu Beiyue and Mu Ling 'er brought Xiao Qi back to Medical City, Gu Beiyue arranged for Xiao Qi to stay in his back courtyard. After a long discussion with Mu Ling 'er, he finally settled on a prescription.
Gu Beiyue said that ordinary ingredients would do, but Mu Ling 'er insisted on premium ingredients. She even personally brought them over from the Medical City's Mu Family.
Thanks to Mu Linger and Han Yunxi's relationship, the Mu Clan was finally able to regain their footing in Medicine City. Mu Yingdong was still in jail, so Mu Linger's half-brother, born of a concubine from a different mother, was in charge of the clan. That brother treated Mu Ling 'er like a Bodhisattva and granted her every request.
While Gu Beiyue was busy with Gu, he was also busy with the formation of a medical team. So far, Medical City had only sent out two medical teams. This was far from enough to deal with the rapidly spreading epidemic!
Ten days after returning to Medical City and confirming that Gu's condition had stabilized, Gu Beiyue left Gu in Mu Ling 'er's care.
With the assistance of a medical assistant, Mu Ling 'er was able to complete the daily tasks of changing the medicinal decoction and administering acupuncture.
One afternoon, Mu Ling 'er personally boiled a large pot of medicinal decoction. After changing the decoction in the tub, she had a servant carry Gu away. Gu had to soak in the decoction for two to four hours every day.
Gu Qishao sat quietly in the wooden tub with his eyes closed as if he'd fallen asleep.
Mu Ling 'er had everyone withdraw and personally closed the door. Like every day in the past, she moved a chair to sit beside the tub, leaned her arms against the edge of the tub, and stared at her Qi Brother.
She had to admit that her eyes were restless. Not only did she look at Qi Brother's face, but she also couldn't help but look down at Qi Brother's chest several times. Qi Brother's upper body was bare. His figure was so good that Mu Ling 'er blushed.
Mu Ling 'er knew that this was the only chance in her life that she could be with Qi Brother every day. She could look at him so closely and accompany him day and night.
When Qi Brother woke up, he would still run away, and she would have to face Jin Zi.
In the past, she always hoped that Qi Brother would grow old. Who knew that Qi Brother was immortal?
Now, Qi Brother was not immortal. Unfortunately, she might not be able to wait until he ran out of energy.
"Qi Brother, what do you think I should do?"
In addition to looking at Gu, Mu Ling 'er had been talking to Qi Brother for the past few days. It was because she knew that he couldn't hear her and wouldn't answer that she dared to say anything.
"Qi Brother, Ling 'er doesn't want to break her promise. Ling 'er made the promise herself … Ling' er knows that she's stupid, but … "
"Qi Brother, Jin Zi is not a bad person. Actually … Jin Zi has a good heart. "
"Qi Brother, if I didn't promise Jin Zi, he would threaten me. Jin Zi will use me to threaten my sister, he won't have a good ending. So … I could only promise him. "
"Qi Brother …"
As Mu Ling 'er spoke, she slowly tilted her head and looked at Gu helplessly and affectionately. "Qi Brother, Ling' er wants to marry you. I want to have children with you … Do you know that? "
After saying this, Mu Ling 'er immediately realized that she was stupid again. When she left Northern Li, Qi Brother had hinted to her that it was impossible for them to be together.
Qi Brother had always known that she liked him! Qi Brother wasn't stupid …
If Gu heard Mu Ling 'er's words, how would he feel? He probably wouldn't feel anything. He knew Mu Ling 'er's thoughts better than anyone else. He would probably feel that … it was too noisy, right?
Just like that, Mu Ling 'er nagged beside Gu for a whole hour. It wasn't until the medicine boy came in to heat up the medicine that she stopped and ran to drink some water.
This medicine boy was about twelve or thirteen years old. He was sent here personally by Gu Beiyue and was very smart and sensible. Usually, he would leave immediately after finishing his work and wouldn't delay. However, today's matter was already over, but he stood aside and didn't leave.
"Is there something else?" Mu Ling 'er asked.
The medicine boy stammered, "Big sister Ling 'er, it's … Actually, I just …"
"Speak frankly. There are no outsiders here." Mu Ling 'er never put on airs in front of the medicine boy.
"Big sister Ling 'er, my father made a bet with someone and bet a lot of money. I wanted … I wanted to secretly ask you if my father would win or lose," said the medicine boy.
Mu Ling 'er was suspicious. "What bet? Is it related to me? "
"It's … It's …" The medicine boy said timidly, "It's related to Principal Beiyue. Everyone outside is betting on whether or not he'll marry the Qin family's young miss. "
"What did you say?" Mu Ling 'er was very surprised.
"It's been going around since a few months ago. It's said that Principal Beiyue sent someone to the Qin family as a matchmaker. However, there hasn't been any news even now, so many people have set up bets. My father is betting that Principal Beiyue won't marry the Qin family's young miss. "
"That wheelchair-bound young miss of the Qin family?" Mu Ling 'er asked in surprise. She was quite familiar with the situation of the great clans in Medical City.
The medicine boy immediately nodded. Mu Ling 'er was even more shocked. She ran out without another word. She naturally went to find Gu Beiyue …
