A group of men dressed as servants was walking in line, heads down, slowly making their way through the crowd.
Each of them held a red cloth in their hands, and on each cloth lay several black pills that looked like medicinal pills.
They walked all the way to the seven or eight people sitting on the ground who claimed to have fallen ill after eating the food from Bai Zheng's shop and then stopped.
The items they were carrying were too eye-catching. Seeing them, people finally understood what Bai Zheng and Feng Linyuan had meant earlier.
"This... This is medicine? For us to take? What does the Marquis mean by this!"
Those people looked at the black pills in front of them, exchanged glances, all looking terrified and uneasy. Finally, they all turned to Feng Linyuan and exclaimed in horror, "In broad daylight, is the Marquis trying to kill us to cover up his tracks?"
"Presumptuous! Who gave you the audacity to slander the Marquis!" Zhu Ling immediately shouted.
As soon as these words were spoken, those people timidly fell silent.
The onlookers also remained silent. Although they looked puzzled, none of them spoke rashly.
If they had cursed Bai Zheng, people would surely have echoed them. But the person they accused was Feng Linyuan.
He was the prestigious Marquis of Dingyuan!
Naturally, people wouldn't talk casually.
Feng Jingye watched coldly and then said coolly, "Everyone knows that the Marquis of Dingyuan dotes on his wife so much that he has even abandoned his principles.
Although the Marquis made great military achievements and suffered serious injuries for our Great Zhou in his youth, six years have passed, and things have changed.
Now that the Marquis's wife has caused a great disaster, the Marquis has taken out this medicine. It's really hard to say whether he wants to save people or cover up his tracks."
Feng Linyuan wasn't annoyed at all. He just smiled faintly, looked at Feng Jingye, and asked, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, do you know who left this medicine for me?"
"The Marquis is joking. Could it be that it was a celestial being in the sky who left you this miraculous medicine?" Feng Jingye sneered.
Hearing Feng Jingye's sarcastic words, there were also a few low chuckles among the onlookers.
Feng Linyuan shook his head gently and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is a busy person and probably doesn't remember what happened on the day of my wedding."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Feng Jingye's face instantly froze.
He stared blankly ahead at Feng Linyuan's intact face and couldn't help but recall that on the day of Feng Linyuan and Bai Zheng's wedding, when Feng Linche saw his face restored, he had been shocked and terrified and had asked how his face had recovered.
How did Feng Linyuan answer at that time?
He said that he had found a divine doctor in the folk who had cured his once-disfigured face.
At that time, Feng Linche had also wanted to find that divine doctor to treat the Fourth Prince, Feng Jingyang, who was suffering from hysteria and confined in the Nanxun Palace. For this reason, Feng Linche had immediately sent countless people out after returning to the palace, but so far, there had been no news at all.
Who was that divine doctor?
Feng Jingye slowly lowered his head, squinted his eyes, and asked in disbelief, "Could it be... that divine doctor who cured you?"
Feng Linyuan nodded slightly and replied, "Exactly."
The crowd was in an uproar.
Back then, after the battle in Yan City, Feng Linyuan, the Marquis of Dingyuan, had been seriously ill. The imperial court had searched for all the famous doctors for him, but to no avail. All the doctors said that he wouldn't live past the age of twenty-five.
But now, the hideous scar on Feng Linyuan's face had completely disappeared. Not even the Snow Skin Ointment had such an effect.
He was no longer the pale and sickly Feng Linyuan who had rarely appeared in front of people in the past six years.
Now, he was elegant and calm. When he stood in front of them, although he was smiling, his imposing manner still made them not dare to breathe loudly.
This was also the reason why, when the iron gate of the back kitchen was finally smashed open and the crowd's passionate impulse disappeared like cold water being poured on them as soon as they saw Feng Linyuan appear.
Half of the reason was that he was the God of War of the Great Zhou, Feng Linyuan, the Marquis of Dingyuan.
The other half was that the person who appeared in front of them was a Feng Linyuan with such a powerful aura that they didn't dare to make the slightest mistake.
Feng Linyuan was cured. A person who had been judged by all the doctors to not live past twenty-five was actually cured!
If a divine doctor who could cure such a seriously ill person were to treat the few injured people lying on the ground groaning today, it would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
As if knowing what the crowd was thinking, Bai Zheng suddenly looked up, stared at Feng Linyuan with wide eyes anxiously, and shouted loudly, "This won't do! Marquis, this is the life-saving medicine left for you by Divine Doctor Zhou. There's only one bottle in total! A dying person will fully recover after taking it, and a healthy person will be immune to all poisons after taking it. Such a precious thing can't be given to them casually!"
After Bai Zheng finished speaking, she looked at the seven or eight injured people on the ground with disdain.
As soon as the injured people heard this, their eyes immediately lit up with a strange light.
A dying person will fully recover after taking it, and a healthy person will be immune to all poisons?!
What kind of miraculous medicine was this that could bring the dead back to life?
What kind of good fortune had they accumulated in several lifetimes that they could actually eat such a precious medicine one day?
Feng Jingye was also stunned.
He never expected that Feng Linyuan would have such a miraculous medicine.
He was a bit skeptical at first. After all, as the Crown Prince, Feng Jingye had been accustomed to seeing rare treasures since childhood. In the past twenty-odd years, he had never heard of any medicine in this world that could bring the dead back to life.
But... not to mention that Feng Linyuan's body, which shouldn't have recovered, had actually recovered beyond everyone's expectations.
Just the urgent look on Bai Zheng's face, as if she wanted to take the medicine back, made him have to believe it.
Maybe the divine doctor who cured Feng Linyuan really had such ability?
Feng Linyuan's eyes were gentle, and he didn't even raise his eyebrows. He just smiled gently at Bai Zheng and said, "Since they were injured after eating the food from your shop, it's our duty to cure them. Zheng'er, no matter how precious something is, it can't compare to these living lives."
"But..." Bai Zheng shook her head desperately. She bit her lips unwillingly and looked at Feng Linyuan with aggrieved eyes. "But what if you fall ill again in the future? You still need these medicines to save your life!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions on the onlookers' faces became even more strange.
This was the medicine that Feng Linyuan had prepared to save his life at critical moments?
They exchanged glances and saw shock, envy, and a hint of regret on each other's faces.
If they had known that eating the poisonous desserts from the dessert shop and suffering some pain could earn them a pill from the Marquis of Dingyuan that would make them immune to all poisons, they would be willing to endure the pain for three days and three nights!
In the eyes of those injured people sitting on the ground, there was a crazy look, surging like magma.
