Chapter 305 (30 words added)

The investigation into the corruption case of the Left Prime Minister Jiangnan was being pursued by Murong Xun. Desperate, he resorted to desperate measures, even infiltrating the academy. Xue Ruanruan felt a chill; no one in the court seemed to stand up for the people. Back in Medicine King Valley, she had honed her lightness skill to perfection. Gathering her energy, Xue Ruanruan used her lightness skill, leaping over the wall in a few bounds and landing steadily on the ground. "Miss!" Jiang Wu's voice came, tinged with anxiety. "I'm fine." Xue Ruanruan smiled at her. "Awu, go check on Second Sister-in-law." Jiang Wu responded and hurried towards the carriage. Xue Ruanruan glanced back at Murong Xun, who stood not far away, holding Xue Li, his expression cold and stern. "Thank you for today, Your Highness," Xue Ruanruan said again. Murong Xun nodded slightly. "No need to be polite." He looked down at the little one in his arms, seeing Xue Li blinking at him, his eyes full of curiosity. Murong Xun's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but reach out and stroke his hair. "Li'er, come home with your sister," Xue Ruanruan said softly. Xue Li nodded, broke free from Murong Xun's embrace, ran to Xue Ruanruan's side, and took her hand. "Goodbye, Your Highness." Xue Ruanruan led Xue Li towards the carriage. Murong Xun watched their figures gradually disappear into the night. The news that the Regent had saved the young master of the General's Mansion and had an affair with Miss Xue had spread; it was someone's deliberate doing. Seeing this, Xue Ruanruan couldn't say anything more, only thanked him and got into the carriage with him. They traveled in silence and soon arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion. Murong Xun handed Xue Li over to Xue Ruanruan and then drove away. Xue Ruanruan watched his departing figure, feeling a pang of emotion. The three of them quickly returned to the General's Mansion. Murong Xun handed Xue Li over to the steward who had been waiting for a long time, then turned to look at Xue Ruanruan. "Thank you for today." His tone remained indifferent, but a subtle tenderness flickered in his eyes. With Murong Xun's help, Xue Ruanruan found those who had bullied Xue Li. She faced them fearlessly, securing a proper apology and compensation for her brother. From then on, those people never dared to bully Xue Li again. This incident brought Xue Ruanruan and Murong Xun even closer. Murong Xun also realized that although he was of noble status, he should also care about those around him. He began to pay more attention to Xue Ruanruan and Xue Li, becoming their good friend. They worked day and night, tirelessly traveling between various affected areas, gaining a deep understanding of the epidemic's development, meticulously studying each case, and leaving no stone unturned in their search for clues and possible solutions. They faced immense pressure and risks, racing against time and battling the disease. Countless days and nights passed; their bodies were exhausted, but their hearts were filled with hope and unwavering faith. It was this perseverance and courage that enabled them to overcome numerous difficulties, find the key to curbing the spread of the epidemic, and successfully implement a series of effective prevention and control measures.

Seeing her sincere desire to save lives, the old man produced an ancient medical book, which surprisingly contained a cure for a type of Gu poison. Following the instructions in the book, Xue Ruanruan prepared the medicine and, after several days of effort, finally resolved the Gu poison crisis. The villagers were deeply grateful and wanted to reward her handsomely, but she refused. After leaving the mountain village, Xue Ruanruan continued her journey. She knew that many diseases in the world awaited her conquest, and no matter how difficult the road ahead, she would uphold her original intention and use her medical skills to save more lives. Her figure gradually faded into the distance, leaving behind only the legend of her saving lives. The Regent narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering to himself: What is so special about this woman? Why does she arouse such strong interest in me? He slowly approached her, each step carrying an invisible pressure. As the distance closed, he could clearly feel her breathing become rapid, and a ripple appeared in her originally calm eyes. Xue Ruanruan continued her travels and arrived at a small town. A wealthy merchant in town fell seriously ill and sought medical help everywhere without success. Hearing of Xue Ruanruan's renowned reputation, the merchant pleaded with her to treat him. After examining him, Xue Ruanruan discovered the illness was complex and would require a long time to heal. During the treatment, she discovered that medicinal herbs were scarce and expensive in the area, as a local bully had monopolized the trade. Xue Ruanruan resolved to solve this problem. Using her reputation, she rallied some righteous individuals and exposed the bully's evil deeds. With government intervention, medicinal herbs were able to be sold normally. After recovering, the wealthy merchant gifted Xue Ruanruan a large sum of money, which she used to buy medicinal herb seeds and teach the local people how to cultivate them. The people were deeply grateful and revered her as a divine healer. News of this reached the ears of the Regent and the General, who admired Xue Ruanruan even more. The Regent sent a letter expressing his unwavering support for her good deeds; the General stated that his mansion would be ready to provide her with military protection at any time. After reading the letter, Xue Ruanruan smiled knowingly, then shouldered her medicine chest and embarked on her journey again, heading into the distance to find more patients awaiting help. Inside the General's mansion, however, silence and solemnity prevailed. The servants and maids who had once known Xue Ruanruan remained silent, knowing the secret was of paramount importance and could not be easily revealed. Perhaps only the dignified and wise general could discern the truth… But regardless, Xue Ruanruan's departure became a legendary tale, forever etched in people's memories. Suddenly, a torrent of intense emotion seemed to surge forth from the depths of his heart, rushing upwards. This power was so immense that he could not suppress its impact. It was captivating. His voice seemed to emanate from ancient times, filled with the sedimentation of time and the radiance of wisdom. Every word was as smooth as a pearl, every note as melodious as celestial music, irresistible. When he spoke, the whole world seemed to stand still, with only his beautiful voice echoing in the air. His tone was firm and powerful, conveying his inner strength and confidence. His voice possessed an indescribable charm, drawing people in irresistibly, making them want to approach him and listen to his every word. Unexpectedly, just leaving the capital, she encountered Regent Murong Xun again, and even collided with his carriage. Xue Ruanruan looked at the carriage before her and inwardly cursed.
