Wu Junyao felt warm in his heart when he saw that the surroundings were decorated very exquisitely. However, when his eyes fell on the beautiful women beside him, his face suddenly darkened.

"These are all..." Wu Junyao asked unhappily.

Jiang Yanwan pretended to be innocent and explained, "Those are the girls I specially invited. They are talented and you can enjoy them." After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands again and motioned the girls to come forward.

Wu Junyao snorted coldly, "Yan Wan, I came here just to talk to you, why bother inviting these idle people?" After that, he turned around and said coldly to the girls, "All of you leave."

The girls looked at each other, not daring to disobey, and had to retreat quietly.

Jiang Yanwan looked at Wu Junyao's stern face and couldn't help but chuckle, "Captain Wu, you look so stern, you really don't look like you're here to attend a banquet."

Wu Junyao's expression became more and more ugly: "You really don't know why I came here? If it was just for your meal, would I have offended His Majesty?"

Jiang Yanwan was a little embarrassed and laughed dryly: "General Wu, you have been helping me so much. I really don't know how to repay you."

As she spoke, she poured wine to toast Wu Junyao, but because she was distracted for a moment, her hand slipped and she accidentally fell into Wu Junyao's arms.

Wu Junyao was caught off guard and hurriedly supported her, feeling a long-lost warmth in his heart.

What surprised him even more was that he actually felt the awakening of his male ability...

"Are you okay?" Wu Junyao asked a little nervously, while carefully helping her up.

Jiang Yanwan blushed slightly. She was a little surprised when she felt his change. Then she calmly adjusted her clothes and said apologetically, "General Wu, I'm so sorry to have embarrassed you."

Wu Junyao took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, "Nothing."

After the two sat down again, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Wu Junyao asked in a low voice: "However, your treatment during this period is indeed very effective. I... I am very grateful."

Jiang Yanwan smiled slightly, "Vice-Governor Wu, you are too polite. This is what I should do. You have done so much for the country and for me. I am just doing my little bit to help you."

The afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the clinic. As Jiang Yanwan stepped into the door, she was attracted by an anxious call.

"Master, you're finally back!" Qiu Shuang looked panicked and pointed to the inner room, "There is a seriously injured patient in critical condition."

Jiang Yanwan frowned slightly and walked quickly to the inner room. There was a man lying on the bed, with shocking wounds on his body, obviously he had experienced a life-and-death struggle.

"What happened? Who is he?" she asked while checking his injuries.

Qiu Shuang followed behind him, her voice carrying a hint of anger: "This man is a bully from the south of the city. It is said that he killed someone in a dispute, and then attempted suicide out of fear of punishment. The government sent him here, hoping to treat him and then investigate his crime."

After hearing this, Jiang Yanwan frowned.

She understood that this was not just a simple medical rescue, but also a balance between morality and law. "Qiushuang, doctors are like parents to their patients. No matter who he is, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we cannot give up."

Although Qiu Shuang was reluctant, she nodded silently when she saw Jiang Yanwan's determined eyes and helped prepare the equipment needed for treatment.

Late at night, the lights flickered. Jiang Yanwan carefully sutured each wound, with beads of sweat oozing out of her forehead. Just as she was about to finish, she paused slightly and took out a small jade bottle from her sleeve, which contained a tiny poisonous insect.

She looked at the unconscious bully and said to herself, "I saved you for the sake of the law and for those innocent victims. But someone must witness your evil deeds." So she gently integrated the poisonous insect into the flesh and blood of the injured person. This special poisonous insect would not kill people, but it could become a tool to reveal the truth at the critical moment.

After finishing the work, Jiang Yanwan wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to Qiu Shuang, "He is fine for now. When he wakes up tomorrow, he will be handed over to the government for punishment. As for the crime he committed, the law will judge it."

After hearing this, Qiu Shuang felt a little relieved and said softly, "Master, your medical skills and broad mind are admirable."

Just as the two were about to take a break, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by a familiar and steady voice: "Doctor Jiang, it's me. The situation is urgent. I need your help."

When Jiang Yanwan opened the door, she saw Wu Junyao who had hurried over. His face was solemn and he exuded an unusual aura.

"General Wu, what happened?" Jiang Yanwan's heart tightened and she asked quickly.

Wu Junyao quickly walked into the clinic and closed the door.

Wu Junyao frowned and said in a heavy tone, "It's my grandmother. Her old illness suddenly got worse and the imperial doctors were helpless. I thought of you first. Please come back with me to see her."

Jiang Yanwan was surprised when she heard this, and then nodded without hesitation: "Of course, we will set off immediately."

She simply packed up some commonly used medicinal herbs and instruments, and left the clinic with Wu Junyao.

The carriage sped through the night and the atmosphere inside was extremely tense.

Jiang Yanwan tried to calm down and asked Wu Junyao for more details: "Vice-Governor Wu, what are the old lady's recent symptoms? Are there any unusual behaviors or visitors?"

Wu Junyao pondered for a moment and slowly replied: "She has indeed been a little tired recently, but I have not noticed anyone else coming into contact with her medicine. This illness came on too suddenly, and I am worried..."

"What are you worried about?" Jiang Yanwan keenly caught the hesitation in his words.

Wu Junyao's expression was complicated: "The family is not peaceful. Some people are eyeing my mother's position. I can't help but worry that this disease may not be a natural onset."

Jiang Yanwan's eyes flashed with understanding. She knew that the power struggle inside and outside the palace never stopped. "Let's not jump to conclusions yet. I will make a decision after I personally diagnose you when we get to your house."

After arriving at the Wu Mansion, the two went straight to the old lady's residence.

The room was brightly lit, the servants were busy and nervous, and the air was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

Jiang Yanwan approached the bed. The old lady looked pale and her breath was weak. She was obviously in an extremely dangerous condition.

After a careful pulse diagnosis, Jiang Yanwan frowned, and then she noticed the medicine residue scattered on the corner of the table. After carefully distinguishing them, her expression became more solemn: "General Wu, the mixed ingredients in these medicine residues are completely inconsistent with the prescription I gave to the old lady. There are some conflicting ingredients in them. It is obvious that someone did it on purpose."

Wu Junyao's eyes became sharp when he heard this: "What? Can you confirm which drugs were maliciously added?"

Jiang Yanwan analyzed it carefully: "Some of them are herbs that will aggravate the old lady's condition. A small amount of poison is also mixed in. Although the dosage is not enough to be fatal, long-term use is enough to make the condition take a sharp turn for the worse."

"This is simply murder!" Wu Junyao was furious.

He didn't expect that there would be someone who had such courage right under his nose!
