Chapter 417

In an instant, the entire court was in a state of panic, and officials at all levels began to investigate and collect evidence. Ye Jingchu was caught off guard by this sudden change. He was busy dealing with the court's investigation and running around trying to cover up his crimes, and had no time to care about Ye Jiuchen.

Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Ye Jiuchen tirelessly reconnected with loyal and righteous individuals from all sides. He traversed the streets and alleys of the capital, secretly meeting with his former comrades-in-arms, recounting his grievances and Ye Jingchu's crimes. Upon hearing his tale, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and expressed their willingness to follow Ye Jiuchen to punish the treacherous official. Through Ye Jiuchen's efforts, his power gradually expanded and grew increasingly formidable.

After a thorough investigation, Ye Jingchu's crimes were exposed one by one, and the evidence was irrefutable. In the end, he was dismissed from his post, investigated, and imprisoned, receiving the punishment he deserved. Ye Jiuchen, on the other hand, successfully cleared his name and returned to his high position.

Having survived this brush with death, Ye Jiuchen cherished everything he had even more. He was grateful for Dongfang Wan'er's constant companionship and help; if it weren't for her unwavering support and encouragement during his most difficult times, he probably wouldn't have been able to persevere until now. Therefore, filled with love and gratitude, he requested the emperor's blessing for their marriage. The emperor looked at Ye Jiuchen with eyes full of satisfaction and readily granted his request.

Not long after, Ye Jiuchen and Dongfang Wan'er held a grand wedding. At the ceremony, the two stood hand in hand on a high platform, receiving blessings from everyone. Ye Jiuchen gazed at Dongfang Wan'er beside him, his eyes filled with deep affection and happiness. From then on, they lived happily together, protecting their land and writing their own legendary story.

Their married life was like a tranquil lake, peaceful and brimming with happiness. Although Ye Jiuchen held a high position and wielded great power, he was never burdened by it, his heart always devoted to his love and passion for medicine. He meticulously cultivated a medicinal garden within his residence, a veritable treasure trove of his own. Rare herbs were arranged in a pleasing manner, each one carefully tended by him. A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of herbs, adding a unique charm to the mansion.

Inspired by her husband's passion for medicine, Dongfang Wan'er also devoted herself to studying pharmacology. The couple often strolled hand in hand through the herb garden, sometimes pausing before a particular herb to discuss its medicinal properties and uses, or sitting opposite each other at a stone table to exchange medical insights. Sunlight shone on them, creating a warm and harmonious scene.

It was an ordinary yet destined-to-be-extraordinary day when a plague suddenly broke out in the city. The news spread like a dark cloud. Upon hearing the news, Ye Jiuchen's expression turned grave. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately took Wan'er to investigate. Stepping into the city, the scene before them was heartbreaking. The people groaned in pain, their faces contorted with the agony of the disease. The healers paced anxiously nearby, utterly helpless in the face of this sudden plague, their eyes filled with despair and confusion.

Knowing the situation was critical, Ye Jiuchen quickly immersed himself in diagnosing the epidemic, drawing upon his years of experience and superb medical skills. He meticulously observed the patients' symptoms, inquired in detail about the course of the illness, leaving no detail overlooked. After rigorous analysis, he quickly determined that this was a novel epidemic unlike any he had ever encountered. Without delay, he immediately decided to begin researching treatment methods.

In the days that followed, he and Wan'er worked tirelessly day and night. In the dim candlelight, their figures were busy yet resolute. They tried various combinations of medicinal herbs time and again, recording the results of each experiment. They memorized the properties of each herb and the reaction after each combination. Countless failures did not break them; instead, they made them more determined. Finally, after several days of relentless effort, the antidote was successfully developed. At that moment, their eyes shone with joy and relief.

To ensure that the sick people could receive the antidote as quickly as possible, they personally tended the large pot, brewing the medicine. The steaming hot broth carried their care and hope for the people. They tirelessly distributed the antidote to each patient, patiently explaining how to take it. Under their meticulous care, the shadow of the epidemic gradually dissipated, and vitality and hope returned to the faces of the people.

Through this experience, Ye Jiuchen deeply realized the importance of passing on medical knowledge. He knew that one person's strength was ultimately limited; only by passing on knowledge could more people benefit. Therefore, he sent out invitations to renowned doctors from all over the country. In a short time, wise and capable individuals gathered. They studied day and night, consulted numerous ancient texts, and recorded their knowledge and methods for dealing with this epidemic without reservation. This medical book, which embodies the wisdom of many, carries their hopes for future generations, hoping that in the future, there will be less disease and suffering in the world, and that all people will live in peace and health.

As the medical book, a culmination of countless hours of painstaking effort and wisdom, slowly circulated throughout the world, Ye Jiuchen's reputation spread rapidly in all directions, like a strong east wind. His deeds became a legend among physicians and a beacon of hope in the hearts of countless patients. In an instant, many young physicians from far and wide flocked to him, drawn by his reputation. Some carried simple bags, trekking long distances; others rode swift horses, traveling day and night. In each of their eyes shone a thirst for knowledge, and filled with reverence for Ye Jiuchen, they hoped to have the honor of becoming his disciples and learning his exquisite medical skills.

Faced with these enthusiastic young people, Ye Jiuchen did not readily agree. He knew that the inheritance of medical skills was not only about knowledge and skills, but also about the character and temperament of the inheritor. Therefore, he conducted extensive examinations of these young people, observing their attitude towards patients and assessing their patience and perseverance in the face of difficulties. In the end, he selected some disciples who were pure of heart, kind-hearted, and extremely talented. These disciples, like unpolished gems, awaited Ye Jiuchen's guidance to shine brightly.

Ye Jiuchen deeply understood that the essence of medicine lay not only in exquisite skills but also in noble medical ethics. He began to meticulously teach his disciples, emphasizing not only mastering pharmacology, understanding the characteristics and effects of each medicinal herb, and grasping the diagnosis and treatment methods for each ailment, but also cultivating medical ethics. He frequently admonished his disciples that a physician should take saving lives and healing the wounded as their duty, and when facing patients, they should be compassionate and free from any negligence or greed. He set an example for his disciples through his words and deeds. In his daily practice, he always listened patiently to the patients' needs and carefully treated them, treating even the poorest people equally and never charging extra fees.
