Hai Tang nodded her head. She knew that the Prince had not sent a message to the young miss, yet the young miss seemed to have known in advance, which made her very puzzled.

"I understand animal language." At this moment, only Yang Mengchen and Hai Tang were in the study, "Xiao Guai found a strange fruit, and after I consumed it, I could communicate with all animals."

So that's how it was!

Instantly enlightened and delighted, Hai Tang thought the young miss was truly blessed to have such a marvelous encounter, and those around her reaped the benefits as well.

"Only our brothers, the Prince, and you know of this matter. Remember, you must not spread the word."

This was great news! Why would the young miss want to keep it a secret? Hai Tang did not understand.

Seeing what was on Hai Tang's mind, Yang Mengchen couldn't help but to place her hand to her forehead, speechless. Usually so clever, why couldn't she see the importance at this critical moment: "Don't you see how old I am now? Plus, considering the things I've done, even if I claimed it was taught by a master, to those harboring intentions, I will surely be seen as a freak.

You should be very clear about what kind of ending awaits me."

"Rest assured, Miss. Everything about you will rot in my stomach," Hai Tang said solemnly.

Not to mention the young miss was still just a child; even adults who possessed such incredible abilities would cause an uproar in the world. If someone could not use it for themselves, they would rather eliminate it quickly after discovery.

Initially, Yang Mengchen was grateful for the Yang family's affection and the villagers' protection, which was why she used her knowledge from a previous life to lead everyone to better lives. However, she didn't realize that her actions were shocking and unorthodox. Fortunately, Uncle Luo and Uncle Xiao were aware of this early on and fully blocked the news while taking on some responsibility.

Later, Long Xuanmo and Old Hai also went to great lengths to protect her. Otherwise, she might have long been treated as a demon and been left without a corporeal trace.

"Speaking of which, Grand Prince and the Prince are both very protective of the young miss."

Hai Tang told Yang Mengchen about how Long Xuanmo credited the surgery to Doctor Luo, and how Grand Prince had instructed Long Xuanmo to warn a few Imperial Physicians. After all, aside from Prince Ning and the Yang family themselves, only a few Imperial Physicians heard what Yang Mengchen said.

If necessary, they would rather silence those who heard than let the world know of Yang Mengchen's heaven-defying skills.

Yang Mengchen was grateful, but she disliked killing. She simply erased the memory of the incident from those Imperial Physicians.

Seven days later, Grand Prince had the stitches in his brain removed, the wound healed nicely, and he began to slowly get out of bed and move around.

Long Xuanmo and Prince Ning were at ease, leaving four of Grand Prince's close confidants, along with Yao Chuanbai and Zhang Duheng, as well as a few Imperial Physicians who had their memories of Yangliu village erased, and the accompanying guards to return to The Capital to report back to the Emperor.

In a blink of an eye, ten days passed, and Yao Chuanbai and Zhang Duheng returned. They also told Yang Mengchen that Long Xuanmo and the Chief Eunuch close to the Emperor were at the County Office with Apricot Forest Hall announcing a decree.

First, it was to exempt Anping County from three years of taxes, and second, to award Doctor Luo with a Death Exemption Token, ten thousand taels of gold, and some precious medicinal materials.

Prince Ning and Prince Chen had informed the Emperor that Grand Prince was recovering. The Emperor was overjoyed, and with Prince Chen's persuasion, he bestowed such generous gifts.

Yang Mengchen breathed a sigh of relief and instructed Bai He to take the two men to the East Wing Room. She had Sixth Brother buy two mansions in the town, just a five or six-minute walk from the hospital. Before the hospital opened for business, she decided to let the two of them move into the mansions, which would also be convenient for their families to join them later.

Just before dinner, Long Xuanmo arrived with Mo Yun and others, first visiting Grand Prince before coming to see Yang Mengchen.

"Ah Jiu, this is from the Royal Grandmother for you," Long Xuanmo took out a gold medal and handed it to Yang Mengchen, "As long as you present this Holy Ancestor Gold Medal, except for Father Emperor, Royal Grandmother, and Mother Empress, everyone must kneel and pay respects to you.

If anyone dares to disrespect or harm you, it will be a contempt of the Holy Ancestor, punishable by extermination of the Nine Clans. Ah Jiu, keep it well."

Yang Mengchen placed the medal in her bag and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, Prince."

As far as she knew, the Holy Ancestor Gold Medal not only exempted the holder from rituals but also served another important purpose. Long Xuanmo, for her sake, had put in a lot of effort to persuade the Empress Dowager to give her the medal. Even though she did not care for it, Long Xuanmo's thoughtfulness touched her.

"As long as you like it," said Long Xuanmo, his eyes smiling. He was willing to give Ah Jiu the best of the world, as long as she was happy and content.

Yang Mengchen smiled faintly, her lips pursed, silent.

"Ah Jiu, there is another piece of good news for you," Long Xuanmo said, "Mo Feng sent a letter. After the spring, Beiyue made several invasions at our borders. Your second brother fought bravely in battle, repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, and gained great appreciation and trust from General Ye.

He is now a regular Eighth-Rank Military Officer, and those seven men are his personal soldiers, and your cousin Wu Lishan is a Second Lieutenant."

"Thank you for telling me the good news, Prince," Yang Mengchen said with a smile.

Every month her second brother wrote a family letter, and this month's letter was still five or six days away, yet she was crystal clear on her brother's situation.

Sure enough, five days later, the Yang family received a letter from Yang Chengning. Aside from assuring his safety and greeting the family, he briefly mentioned his promotion to Military Officer and that Wu Lishan became a Second Lieutenant. Both the Yang and Wu families felt relieved and were happy for them, and the people of Yangliu village and Wu Family Village congratulated both families.

Grand Prince stayed with the Yang family for another month to recuperate. Only after getting Yang Mengchen's permission did he return to The Capital.

Yang Mengchen listed some precautions for Grand Prince before he departed and also prepared some medicines and products from her own factory, filling two horse carriages.

Grand Prince, moved to the brink of tears, said, "I truly wish to recognize you as my adopted daughter."

The young girl saved his life, and in the nearly two months since, she had taken meticulous care of him. His old wounds were also healed thanks to her careful treatment, and now she had prepared so many things for him, especially the medicines. Seeing the green gleam in Mo Yun's eyes, he knew those were no ordinary items.

Ever since her departure, he had never again felt this intense care, nor had anyone been so considerate and thorough in their arrangements for him. Perhaps her spirit in heaven could not bear his lonely sorrow, and thus allowed him to meet the young girl.

Upon hearing Grand Prince's words, Long Xuanmo became anxious at his side. If the Imperial Uncle were to take Ah Jiu as an adopted daughter, he and Ah Jiu would be brother and sister. How could he then marry Ah Jiu?

"Thank you for your deep affection, Grand Prince," Yang Mengchen sincerely admired Grand Prince's integrity and was touched by his unwavering loyalty to his beloved ones, "Even if Mengchen is not your adopted daughter, she will respect you as a real father!"
