tting the young masters hear them."Daughter, the Phoenix Nest Kingdom was established by our ancestors amidst the watchful eyes of three powerful neighboring nations. And only our kingdom is ruled by...The Emperor was looking over memorials when he heard Yu Gonggong's announcement and summoned him in.

"Ho Mian bows to Your Majesty!"

Though Huo Mian was a man of the Jianghu, he couldn't learn the etiquette of bowing three times and nine times. He merely bowed once as a gesture of respect, fulfilling the proper formalities.

The emperor didn't care about these things, and waved his hand saying:

"Mr. Huo, you've worked hard! Is everything done"

"Yes, following Your Majesty's orders, Princess Xiangyi's face wound has healed. It will be fully recovered in a few days."

"

She wasn't told about the side effects!

"

Of course, Huo did not divulge a word about the matter.

How long does she have left to live

"If I were there to care for her, Princess Xiangyi would have another year. Without me, she would only have half a year at most. However, her beauty would continue to blossom until the very end."

Ho Mian lowered his eyes and replied.

Everyone says that the royal court is deep, and he experienced it firsthand this time. If not for the medical books of the Taiping Hospital, he wouldn't want to get involved in this muddy water. The reason he said so was also to leave himself a way out. He was certain that the emperor wouldn't let Xiangyi die so soon, and he certainly wouldn't want Xiangyi to die in the imperial city.

"I understand. In that case, just take my order and go directly to the Taixue library. You can copy whatever you want, or read any materials you need, but don't damage any of the books from the Taixue. That's the bottom line."

"Yes, Huo understands. We are all healers, and we naturally cherish medical books."

"Xiang Yi's medicine, you continue to prepare it. If she makes any requests of you, agree to them for now. The rest I will handle."

"Yes, Huo Mian understands."

Okay, go ahead!

Ho Mian bowed again and then withdrew from the Imperial Study. He then saw Yu, the Palace Attendant, waiting outside the hall.

Yu Gonggong held a tray in his hands, covered with red silk. He smiled and said to Huo Mian:

"Imperial Physician Huo, this is a gift bestowed upon you by His Majesty, along with an imperial decree."

Thank you, Sir.

Ho Mian took the tray and pulled out a silver ingot from it, directly stuffing it into Yu Gonggong's hand. "A person's methods depend on the environment they are in."

"Doctor Huo, you are too polite!"

"It's only right to trouble you, father-in-law, during this time."

Huo Mian didn't beat around the bush; she directly stuffed the silver into Yu Gonggong's sleeve.

Mr. Yu this time didn't decline, and said with a smile:

"Well then, we won't be polite. If Dr. Huo needs any help, just come to us. I can't speak for others, but I'm very familiar with the affairs of this palace."

Then I'll leave it to your father-in-law.

With the approval of Lord Yu, Huo Mian accepted his reward and went to the Imperial Medical Library with the order in hand to look up information. This was also the reason why he was willing to enter the palace to treat the sick.

Princess Xiangyi also received the news and learned that it was her emperor brother who had bestowed another gift upon Huo Mian. She was in a good mood. After applying medicine for three days, her face had almost recovered. Only when she got close could people tell. So she led a large group of people to express their gratitude.

This time, the Emperor met Xiangyi in a side hall. Looking at her face, which had fully recovered, he smiled and said:

"It seems the Master Huo I summoned truly has real abilities. He told me when he reported back that things were conservative, and he asked me to see him again in seven days. I didn't expect you to recover as good as new in just three days."

"Xiang Yi thanked her elder brother, "If it weren't for you, Brother, putting up a notice to seek medical treatment, Xiang Yi's old injuries wouldn't have healed so quickly."

"You and I are siblings. To say these words is out of place. Before, because of your repeated injuries, I was also worried. Coupled with the incident at the border, Meng Guo becoming increasingly dishonest, I did indeed neglect you."

"Little sister knows that big brother won't ignore me."

Xiangyi immediately acted cute.

The taskmaster felt a chill, but in pursuit of his goal, he continued his performance with an unchanged expression.

The emperor rubbed his temples and then said:

“Your wounds have healed, and I have also put my mind at ease. However, with the impending war against Meng Nation, communication is severely restricted there. All our dispatched scouts have gone without a return. At present, we are unable to receive any messages. I am deeply troubled by this.”

Xiangyi immediately understood what was meant, and though she felt displeased, she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she frowned and said:

"Brother, I've been away from Mengguo for seven or eight years now. I don't know what it's like there now either."

Xiangyi, since you have returned, as your elder brother, I would never consider sending you back. Even if we go to war, I will face it head-on and not sacrifice your happiness again. Otherwise, it would be a shame on our Han nation.

The assistant quickly gave Xiangyi a reassuring pill, then turned and said:

"Of course, if you have people stationed there, could you perhaps mobilize them I need them to gather intel and prepare for a major war."

Xiang Yi, hearing this, relaxed her expression and nodded in agreement:

"I haven't many people left. I'll have someone send my contact information to Big Brother shortly. It's a relief to be able to help, Xiangyi is very happy about that."

"Alright, you and I working together as siblings, we'll definitely conquer the Meng Nation! Tell me, what else do you desire Would you like me to find you a husband"

The tasker said with a smile.

"Big brother, you know what's on my mind."

Xiangyi's eyes flickered, and she immediately said.

"How about it Still think that Dark Guard Xia Qi suits your fancy"

The tasker chuckled and said.

"Well, I'm afraid Big Brother won't be willing to."

"Before, I didn't agree because Little Seven was assigned an important mission and he was indispensable. Since you insist on choosing him, I will naturally fulfill your wish. In two days, I will arrange for someone to accompany you out of the palace to meet up with him."

The tasker said with a smile.

"Big brother, just call him back. Why do I have to leave the palace"

Xiangyi asked in puzzlement.

I sent him to search for the legendary treasure rumored throughout the martial arts world. He sent word back a few days ago, saying he was close to finding it. If successful, a large amount of treasure will be transported to the Imperial City.

I don't trust anyone else to handle this. It's safer for the wealth to remain in the royal family's hands. I only trust you with this.

Xiang Yi immediately understood why Emperor Gege had sent Xiao Qi to handle this matter when she heard that the treasure had been found. She rolled her eyes and made up her own plan. She stood up and said:

"Xiangyi is Your Majesty's sister and a member of the royal family. For the stability of Han, she naturally needs to contribute her share. Xiangyi has taken on this mission. I will go prepare now. When Big Brother arranges capable men, I will depart immediately."

“As expected of my little sister, go prepare. I will arrange for Huo Mian to accompany you. Your injury must be completely eradicated. I hear that this Doctor Huo is also skilled in beauty treatments, he will surely restore you to your former beauty and have Xiao Qi willingly stay by your side.”

Xiangyi apologized to her elder brother.

Xiangyi and the Tasker both got what they wanted, so they each went to prepare.

Xiangyi wrote down the names of her undercover agents who remained in Mengguo and had them delivered to the emperor. Then, she began selecting personnel; that treasure trove was something she also wanted a share of.

After receiving the list from Xiangyi, the Taskmaster arranged for a message to be delivered to the head of the C-Team's guards via carrier pigeons. Then, he dispatched an elite team to leave the imperial city with Xiangyi.he lead and left the cave where the formation was set up, rushing towards the place where he had fought with the monster earlier.Liàn yī wàng zhàole líguò de Yáng Hé, yáo le yaó tóu, xīwàng duì pihak...
