Zhao Chuchu could hear the jealousy in Xie Heng’s tone and laughed. “Are you really getting jealous? The Third Prince is like a brother to me. You’re always at the top of my heart.”

Xie Heng was happy to hear that, but he did not show it on his face. “It’s a good thing now that he’s back in the Imperial City. He can stop a lot of troubles for us. As long as he’s there, no one would keep an eye out on Guangqing Province any more.”

“I know he will do that.” Zhao Chuchu nodded.

She just hoped the Third Prince would care for himself and not wear himself out for Xie Jun.

Even though his life was saved, he had to refrain from overworking himself, or even Zhao Chuchu would not be able to save him.

Time went by in an instant.

After the Third Prince had left, Guangqing Province did become peaceful.

No one would come to harass Zhao Chuchu anymore. The Fourth Prince’s death was buried. It was the death of a person who could not make anything happen.

Zhao Chuchu spent most of her days treating patients and visiting Ruyu Center. She would go out with Yuan Hui from time to time as well. Days were calm and relaxing to her.

As always, Xie Heng would suddenly leave for a few days, but he never told Zhao Chuchu where he went.

However, Zhao Chuchu heard about the situation in the Imperial City from him. ｂｅ𝚍ｎｏｖｅ𝚕．ｃｏｍ

A minister was jailed for corruption. A Duke was sent to the frontline for three years because of a prostitute and other news. The Imperial City was filled with such events daily, and troubles could always be found there.

Zaho Chuchu knew that those were the works of the Third Prince. He was starting to clear off any potential threats to Xie Jun.

He did not force many corrupted ministers to retire but lowered much of their authority.

And the end of the year soon arrived.

Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng returned to the village for New Year and stayed there for ten days.

It was also close to the autumn exams, and Xie Heng had to start to prepare.

Zhao Chuchu’s medical expertise was spread even further in the past six months. Even people in the Imperial City had heard of it. Some even came to Guangqing Province in secret for her to take a look at them.

Zhao Chuchu got to become acquainted with a few wives of prominent families because of that and learned more about the Imperial City.

As she was a sweet talker with the skills to back her reputation up, the wives widely favored her. They even told her to visit them if she and Xie Heng were to move to the Imperial City in the future.

Zhao Chuchu smiled and nodded.

However, not all of the wives were friendly. Some were arrogant because of their position, but they didn’t bother Zhao Chuchu.

It didn’t matter to her how they treated her as long as they paid their fees. They could say whatever they wanted, and it would not affect her. In the end, those wives could suddenly lose their wealth.

Another half a year passed, and the end of July was approaching. Xie Heng was about to take the Provincial Examination.

The Yuan clan was even more nervous than the man taking the test.

Old Mrs. Yuan even sent over a lot of nutrition for Xie Heng to stay in his best shape.

Zhao Chuchu was completely speechless, but she could not refuse the kind favor the Yuan clan had shown.

Not only that, but Xia Chenguxan even went out of the city to a temple to pray for Xie Heng’s success. She even got a lucky charm for him.

“Da Lang, there’s not much I can do to help, so take this. I heard a lot of people saying that wishes made in that temple would happen. I got this charm for you. Bring it with you. You’ll definitely make it!” Xia Chengxuan said.

“Thank you, but these aren’t allowed in the examination hall.” Xie Heng took the charm and explained.

“I see… I didn’t know that.” Xia Chengxuan sighed. “Then, put it under your pillow. It’ll still work that way. Don’t bring it if you can’t, or they’ll think you’re cheating..”
