On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives
Chapter 38 Assassination
Jiang Yanwan looked at Jiang Shihuan lying limp on the ground, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
She turned and left, each step seeming particularly heavy.
The next day, as the morning light broke, Jiang Yanwan walked along the dew-soaked bluestone road toward the magnificent main hall of the imperial palace.
Inside the main hall, sitting on the dragon throne, the emperor in a yellow robe appeared exceptionally solemn, with a look of worry that was hard to conceal between his brows.
Seeing Jiang Yanwan step into the palace, the emperor nodded slightly, his voice gentle but with a majesty that could not be ignored: "Yanwan, I heard that you have outstanding medical skills. The plague is raging outside the city. I want to send you to treat it. What do you think?"
Jiang Yanwan bowed and saluted, her tone firm: "I am willing to go. It is the duty of a doctor to save the dying and the wounded. Moreover, this is a matter of national importance. I dare not refuse."
The emperor's eyes flashed with admiration when he heard this: "Okay, I appreciate your responsibility. Please take care of yourself on your way. I will arrange for the staff to prepare all the necessary supplies. You just need to concentrate on the treatment."
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will live up to your expectations." Jiang Yanwan felt a warm feeling in her heart.
This is not only a test for her, but also a great opportunity to prove her abilities.
When she returned to the bedroom, A Yan had already woken up and was sitting at the table, looking at her with a worried look on his face.
"Mom, you're back?" A Yan stood up, walked quickly to Jiang Yanwan, and held her hand tightly with his little hand.
Jiang Yanwan forced a smile and comforted him, "Ayan, mother has something to tell you."
Ah Yan listened attentively, his eyes gleaming with a maturity that did not match his age.
"Tomorrow, mother will leave the palace to deal with the plague outside the city. The emperor has issued an order himself."
Ah Yan was startled for a moment, then nodded firmly: "Mother, you must be careful. Ah Yan will wait for your safe return here."
The next morning, Jiang Yanwan simply packed her luggage and prepared to leave. As soon as she stepped out of the palace gate, she unexpectedly met Wu Junyao.
He was dressed in casual clothes, but there was an unignorable heroic spirit between his brows.
Jiang Yanwan was slightly surprised, "Why are you here too?"
Wu Junyao nodded: "The plague is raging. As a minister, I should help the people solve their problems."
Jiang Yanwan finally understood: "So you also received orders from His Majesty."
Wu Junyao did not speak. Only Zhang Gong beside him muttered with complicated eyes: "In fact, our governor was not supposed to have such a hard job. I don't know why, when he heard that Miss Jiang was going to deal with the plague, he immediately volunteered. Obviously, he is better at killing people than saving people..."
The next second, a cold gaze fell on Zhang Gong's face, and Zhang Gong immediately kept silent.
Jiang Yanwan couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth when she heard that, and an indescribable sweetness arose in her heart.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, during these days since his rebirth, although Wu Junyao always made sarcastic remarks about Ah Yan, every time he encountered a problem, he was the first to solve it.
Perhaps, the time is not right yet and he has not yet confirmed A Yan's identity.
Everything will be fine, right?
The carriage moved forward slowly, and the wheels made a dull sound as they rolled over the gravel.
In the car, Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao sat opposite each other, exchanging their views on the plague and treatment plans from time to time. The air was filled with a tense and subtle atmosphere.
"Why didn't you bring your little burden with you today?" Wu Junyao glanced at her indifferently and changed the subject unconsciously.
Jiang Yanwan frowned slightly: "Ayan is not a burden, he is too young, I am afraid he will be infected if he goes."
Wu Junyao sneered: "Isn't that just a burden?"
Jiang Yanwan smiled lightly, but her eyes were filled with unquestionable determination: "Governor Wu, we each perform our duties and work together for the benefit of the people. This is the most important thing. There is no need to discuss other things."
Hearing this, Wu Junyao's eyes turned cold.
"You protected him."
Just as the two were discussing, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds suddenly came from the forest, breaking the original tranquility.
Several men in black rushed out from the woods and headed straight for the carriage. There was a fierce light flashing in the eyes of the leader, and it was obvious that they came prepared.
"Protect Doctor Jiang!" Wu Junyao reacted quickly, drew his sword and stood in front of Jiang Yanwan.
The two sides immediately fell into a fierce battle.
During the battle, a cold arrow silently penetrated the chaos and went straight to Wu Junyao's back.
In a flash, Jiang Yanwan pushed him away, and the arrow hit her shoulder blade right on target.
She fell to the ground, her face pale and her brows furrowed in pain.
"Yan Wan!" Wu Junyao exclaimed, not caring about anything else. He quickly dealt with the remaining enemies, then knelt down beside her, his eyes full of anxiety.
"Don't worry about me, just go away..." Jiang Yanwan said weakly, enduring the severe pain.
Wu Junyao's eyes became more determined than ever before: "Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!"
He called the accompanying medical officer to check the injury, and seeing the other party's increasingly unspeakable expression, he became panicked.
"How is her injury?"
"To reply to the governor, Miss Jiang's injuries are too severe for ordinary herbs to work. But according to legend, there is a miraculous herb called 'Resurrection Grass' growing on the cliffs nearby. Its leaves are like umbrellas and its meridians are thick. It may be able to save her life."
The imperial physician shrank back for a long time, and then said, "But this herb is extremely hard to find, and the place where it grows is also steep and dangerous. It may not be possible to get it!"
Without any hesitation, Wu Junyao picked up Jiang Yanwan and rode his horse towards the rarely visited cliff.
The imperial doctors were left standing there in shock, staring at each other.
At the edge of the cliff, the wind was strong and the clouds were surging. Wu Junyao climbed carefully, looking for the life-saving herbs.
His fingers slipped several times, and each time he was in danger, but the faith in his heart was like a rock, indestructible.
Finally, in the crevice of a protruding rock, a touch of emerald green came into his sight, and it looked exactly the same as the imperial physician had described.
Just as he reached out to pick it, the stone under his feet suddenly loosened and he lost his balance. Fortunately, he grabbed an outstretched branch in time and avoided falling off the cliff.
Wu Junyao was suspended in mid-air, his heart beating like a drum, but the resurrection grass in his hand gave him infinite hope.
He climbed back to safety with difficulty, crushed the herbs and fed them to the unconscious Jiang Yanwan.
Time seemed to stand still until Jiang Yanwan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, she slowly opened her eyes, and asked weakly: "Where...are we?"
Wu Junyao held her hand tightly: "It's safe, I found the resurrection grass, you are fine."
"Jun Yao..." Jiang Yanwan's voice was full of gratitude.
She looked at the man in front of her who had risked his life for her, and her heart was filled with complex emotions.
"Don't talk, save your energy." Wu Junyao interrupted her, with a look of determination that could not be refuted.
