Chapter 392 Awakening

Dr. Yuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry..."

"No need to apologize, Dr. Yuan is just doing this for our own good."

After a few dry words, none of the three were in the mood to speak, and the atmosphere fell silent again.

After the medicine was prepared, Zhao Lingyin chased them out.

The three doctors spent half an hour using acupuncture to expel the poison from General He's body, finally clearing the toxins to a level that was no longer life-threatening.

When they came out of the room, Zhao Lingyin and the others all looked exhausted.

The siblings rushed forward, asking, "How is Grandfather?"

"His life has been saved."

He Wuyang was preoccupied with her grandfather's health, but seeing how hard they were working, she didn't dare to ask any further questions.

He first handed over a handkerchief to wipe his sweat before saying, "Thank you all for your hard work. Please go and rest..."

Zhao Lingyin turned around and said, "Father, you and Uncle Yuan go and rest first."

"Alright, hurry up," Zhao Huichun said, dragging the still-polite Doctor Yuan along. "Let's go, stop rambling, Lingyin will be done soon."

Lingyin turned her head back: "Although it's under control for now, the residual poison hasn't been cleared. For General He's health, we will slow down the detoxification process and make up for his deficiencies in the process. I'll have my father write down some medicinal recipes for you later. General He's meals must strictly follow my father's menu."

“Okay!” The He siblings nodded hurriedly.

"Didn't Uncle Yuan tell you about General He's leg?"

Compared to the hesitant Dr. Yuan, Zhao Lingyin was clearly much more decisive.

"I have said that."

"You should know how dangerous this situation was. It's a miracle he survived. Don't worry about his leg. Reassure him and don't let your emotions affect his recovery."

"clear."

"His Highness had one more thing to tell me before I came here."

The He siblings looked much more serious: "Please speak, Dr. Zhao."

"General He, are you familiar with Yuanxiu Academy?"

"know."

A guess popped into He Wuyu's mind, and his tone was filled with anticipation.

"Liaozhou has a strong academic atmosphere, and the He family's academy is very well run. His Highness will open a branch academy in Liaozhou. General He, please recommend a few suitable candidates to be in charge of the academy as soon as possible."

"Very good, very good!" He Wuyu laughed a few times. "I have long heard of the great name of Yuanxiu Academy. Your Highness still remembers Liaozhou, which is a blessing for the people of Liaozhou."

"Your Highness has only three requirements for the final candidate: first, she must be a woman; second, she must be upright and virtuous; and third, she must be adaptable and skillful."

He Wuyu's smile froze instantly.

There were quite a few capable women in her army, but they were skilled in military campaigns.

"No problem! Absolutely no problem!"

Although I felt it would be a bit difficult, I decided to agree to it first since it was such a good opportunity.

"Also, please send a few highly skilled military doctors to teach at the academy in rotation. The medical department at the academy will focus on external injuries."

This request was a great boon to the soldiers, and He Wuyu wholeheartedly agreed.

Otherwise, how could Your Highness, as a woman, have set a precedent for legitimate governance?

Such a thoughtful and compassionate person truly deserves to be the younger sister that Jiaojiao cherishes so much.

"It is our blessing that Your Highness cares about Liaozhou and the He family army."

This wasn't the only thing that pleased He Wuyu.

Your Highness's appearance is the future of the Great Yong Dynasty and its people.

If she has the ability, she can ensure the prosperity of the Great Yong Dynasty; if she has the benevolence, she can bring peace and tranquility to the people; if she has the magnanimity, she can ensure decades of peace and stability for the He family and the He family army.

If Grandfather woke up and knew all this, he would surely be happy, wouldn't he?

……

After another three agonizing days of waiting, General He finally woke up.

At that time, He Wuyu had finished his morning exercise and was preparing to take over from He Wuyang to watch over his grandfather.

After taking General He's pulse, Zhao Lingyin went to prepare the medicine.

Before leaving, she closed the door behind her, leaving time for the He siblings and General He to spend together.

When General He opened his eyes, the first thing he said to He Wuyu was, "Why didn't Wuyu go to the military camp?"

He Wuyu smiled, but his eyes were already red: "Do you know how dangerous this was? How could I possibly stay in the military camp with peace of mind?"

"Isn't he still alive?"

He Wuyu's joy and sorrow were overwhelmed by his words, leaving only helplessness: "What are you talking about, dying or not?"

"Alright, alright, I won't say... Is the border still peaceful?"

"If there were no peace, you wouldn't be able to see me now."

General He smiled, his wrinkles rippling: "We are safe now, you are a great general capable of standing on your own, but your grandfather always thinks you are still a child."

"Grandfather, I've grown up now."

“Grandfather, I’m here too.” He Wuyang jumped up, trying to attract the attention of the old general.

Unexpectedly, General He stared at him for a long while: "Uh, you're Wuyu?"

"Grandfather!" He Wuyang exclaimed, both aggrieved and shocked. "I'm Wuyang! Don't you recognize me?"

He Wuyu chuckled.

General He laughed heartily: "We're safe. You look cuter when you smile."

Seeing this touching scene of grandfather and grandson affection, He Wuyang groaned helplessly, "I thought you really didn't recognize me, and I was wondering if you were getting senile."

It turns out she was just teasing him to make his sister happy.

Hmm, looking at it this way, it seems like he has a worse fate?

General He glared at him: "Alright, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the capital?"

He Wuyang knew what he was worried about, fearing he would be sent back, so he quickly explained, "It was Her Highness the Crown Princess who sent me."

"Don't you know how to refuse?"

"I didn't even know where I was going before I got on the carriage," He Wuyang said, almost feeling wronged. "Grandfather, please rest assured. Our Emperor and His Highness are both upright people. The fact that they are willing to use our He family army shows that they trust us. Why would they need to leave a hostage in the capital?"

"If His Majesty and His Highness don't mind, we should do our best and not make things difficult for them."

He Wuyang didn't know how to explain it to him.

With that light barrier around Your Highness, if the He family truly harbors rebellious intentions, it won't be Your Highness who suffers the consequences.

He could only vaguely reply, "In short, Your Highness is not that kind of person. With Your Highness around, as long as the He family remains loyal, we can rest assured."

Although General He didn't know where his confidence came from, his children were all grown up and had their own judgment.

He is too old to understand the thoughts of young people.

Since he was safe and sound and wouldn't harm the He family, he didn't press the matter further.

"It's good that you know your limits. I remember you said that His Highness entrusted you with important matters. Our military rations this year are products from your estate, right?"

He Wuyang couldn't help but smile, and his back straightened unconsciously.

He himself did not realize that the exaggerated expression he had just shown in order to please his grandfather had gradually turned into a serious and earnest one.

“Yes, but that’s not my estate, it’s His Highness’s estate. It was His Highness’s support and encouragement that gave me a sense of purpose. Grandfather, come back to the capital with me. I’ll take you back to see the wheat I’ve planted.”
