Yu Yunxi’s expression changed slightly when she heard Zuo Yingyao’s concerns. She wanted to ask Ma Wanyang to enter the palace to ask for help, but she quickly remembered that the Ma family belonged to the Crown Prince’s faction.

‘This matter is a little complicated..

At this moment, Feng Yili said flatly, “Just use the troops from the King of Youshan’s Residence. Coincidentally, my troops entered the capital today. It won’t be difficult for them to find Ma Wanyang.”

‘His troops?’

Yu Yunxi immediately turned to look at Feng Yili skeptically. It was already a big deal that Feng Yili was allowed to stay in the capital; how could the Emperor allow the troops from the King of Youshan’s Residence to enter the capital as well?

At the same time, Zuo Yingyao said, “With the King of Youshan’s help, this matter will be much easier to handle. I’ll thank the King of Youshan first.”

After Zuo Yingyao left, Yu Yunxi quickly asked Feng Yili, “Your troops are here? What’s going on?”

“The Emperor used an assassin as an excuse to stop me from leaving the palace. Then, I can also use the assassin for my own purpose. I’m injured so my troops are naturally restless and unhappy. Do you think they’ll… rebel?” Feng Yili asked as he looked at Yu Yunxi from the corners of his eyes.

Yu Yunxi:

In other words, to appease the King of Youshan, the Emperor, who was worried about a rebellion, allowed him to bring his troops into the capital.

After a moment, Yu Yunxi asked in a low voice, “Why are you telling me this? Aren’t you worried that I’ll report you?”

“I believe that the Eldest Princess won’t harm me,” Feng Yili said confidently as a slight smile appeared on his face.

Yu Yunxi was speechless. She was not even sure if she would harm him or not, but he was so sure that she would not harm him. After a moment, she scoffed and said, “Don’t be too happy yet. The Emperor didn’t make a big fuss about you staying in the capital and even allowed your troops in… It might not have anything to do with him being worried about a rebellion. It’s more likely that he wants to deal with you in the capital.’

“Are you worried about me?” Feng Yili’s smile widened.

Yu Yunxi:

‘Do I look worried?’

At this moment, the woman came out of the room. She wiped her tears and kneeled in front of Yu Yunxi again. “Eldest Princess, my son has woken up. If it weren’t for you, we…”

“It’s good that he’s fine now,” Yu Yunxi said, sighing in relief. This was the second person she saved since she regained memory of her medical knowledge.

“Meng Xia. ”

Meng Xia understood Yu Yunxi’s meaning immediately. She brought a bag of silver out and handed it to Yu Yunxi.

Yu Yunxi stuffed the bag of silver in the woman’s hand as she said, “There’s some silver here. Use it to buy medicine for the child. You have to be very careful in the first few months, understand?”

“Yes…’

The woman’s eyes reddened again when she looked at the bag of silver in her hands. She thought it was over for her son today. She did not expect to receive help from Yu Yunxi at all.

The woman regained her composure and kowtowed at Yu Yunxi repeatedly as she said, “Thank you, Eldest Princess. Thank you, Eldest Princess.”

After leaving the medical hall, Yu Yunxi did not feel much relief even though she had just saved someone’s life. She turned back to look at the medical hall’s plaque before she suddenly asked, “Meng Xia, are there many medical halls in the capital?”

Meng Xia shook her head. “There aren’t many. The people of Xichu have always avoided seeing doctors. When they’re sick, they always go to the mountains to look for herbs. They think that they’ll be fine even if they don’t see a doctor.” “This won’t do…” Yu Yunxi said solemnly.

‘How can they not see a doctor when they’re sick? Moreover, it can be fatal to blindly eat herbs…’

Meng Xia nodded. “I agree. Twenty years ago, the Emperor Emeritus hoped to change the people’s mindset so he opened up a medical hall in the capital. At that time, Princess Changning played a huge role. She founded the Resurrection Hall. No matter how difficult the illnesses were, it was not a problem for her to treat them.”

Meng Xia’s eyes shone with admiration as she spoke.

“Resurrection Hall?”

Yu Yunxi’s heart stirred when she heard these words.

“Yes, it was called the Resurrection Hall. In the past, my father told me that my mother was very sick and no one could cure her. However, she was cured by Princess Changning after she went to the Resurrection Hall,” Meng Xia said, “Princess Changning was very kind and gentle to the people. Everyone liked her a lot. It’s just that after that incident…”

Meng Xia paused for a moment before she continued to say, “The Emperor Emeritus closed down the Resurrection Hall. After the Emperor ascended the throne, he disliked the influence left behind by Princess Changning. As such, he hated medical halls as well. In the end, he passed down a decree, saying that only families of officials can open up medical halls.”

“Families of officials naturally don’t lack this bit of money. Therefore, not many of them open up medical halls. As time passed, there were fewer and fewer medical halls in the capital. In fact, the situation is only getting much worse,” Meng Xia sounded more and more disappointed as she said, “This is also why the employees of the Ma family’s medical hall are arrogant. After all, there aren’t many places for people to seek treatment in the capital.” ‘When did the Xichu that Father and Mother protected become like this?’

“I understand.”

Yu Yunxi was also very disappointed. Her mother’s hard work from back then was ruined in the end.

At this moment, Feng Yili suddenly said, “If Princess Changning can do it, you can do it too.”

Yu Yunxi turned around and met his dark gaze.

“You mean…”

“If you’re interested in medicine and want to save people, you can also open a medical hall,” Feng Yili said. He could tell that when she was treating people, she would be different from usual. He could sense the joy that came from the bottom of her heart. Whether it was before or after she lost her memory, it was the same.

Yu Yunxi felt enlightened when she heard Feng Yili’s words. “Alright! I’ll listen to your suggestion! It’s indeed a good idea to open a medical hall!”

Then, she turned to Meng Xia and said, “Meng Xia, send a letter to the Emperor Emeritus for me later. Tell him that I want to open a medical hall. As long as he agrees, I’ll deal with everything.”

Meng Xia grinned when she heard Yu Yunxi’s words. “Eldest Princess, there’s no need to report this matter to the Emperor Emeritus. When you first returned to the capital, the Emperor Emeritus told me that you can decide on your own if you want to open a medical hall like Princess Changning. Apart from that, all you have to do is give me your token, and I’ll be able to enter the palace to ask for money from the Ministry of Revenue.”

‘Grandfather already predicted that I’d want to open a medical hall?’

Yu Yunxi was slightly surprised.

Meng Xia’s smile widened as she continued to say, “Princess Changning took the initiative to open the medical hall back then. Eldest Princess, you really take after Princess Changning.”

‘This makes everything easier…’

Yu Yunxi sighed in relief before she said, “Alright. I’ll leave this matter to you.

I’ll go to the military camp first..”
