After defeating the dark forces, Lin Yue and Li Yi returned to the prince's mansion with the gratitude and blessings of the villagers. There was great rejoicing in the prince's mansion, and everyone was delighted by their triumphant return. However, Lin Yue and Li Yi didn't have time to immerse themselves in the joy of victory. They knew very well that this victory was only temporary, and there were more challenges waiting for them in the future.
On the first day back in the prince's mansion, Lin Yue and Li Yi summoned everyone in the prince's mansion to discuss the reconstruction. After this turmoil, the prince's mansion had also been affected to some extent. The servants were in a state of panic, and all kinds of affairs were in chaos. Lin Yue looked at everyone with a firm gaze.
"Everyone, don't be afraid. We've gone through the most difficult times together. Now, we need to rebuild the prince's mansion and make it regain its former prosperity."
Li Yi also nodded in agreement.
"What Miss Lin said is right. Everyone has worked hard during this period. As long as we work together, there's no difficulty we can't overcome."
Under the leadership of Lin Yue and Li Yi, the reconstruction of the prince's mansion was carried out in an orderly manner. Using her modern knowledge, Lin Yue redesigned the layout of the prince's mansion and added some convenient facilities, such as a free medical clinic and a school, making the prince's mansion not only a residence for the nobility but also a place that brought benefits to the common people. Li Yi actively reorganized the guards of the prince's mansion, strengthened the security of the prince's mansion, and re-established contacts with the ministers in the court to strive for more support for the prince's mansion in the court.
However, the peaceful days didn't last long. One day, an envoy dressed in gorgeous clothes came to the prince's mansion. He claimed to be sent by a neighboring country and brought a personal letter from the king of the neighboring country. Li Yi and Lin Yue received the envoy. After the envoy presented the letter, he waited quietly aside.
Li Yi opened the letter, and his face gradually became solemn. Seeing this, Lin Yue felt a pang of anxiety in her heart and asked,
"Your Highness, what does the letter say?"
Li Yi handed the letter to Lin Yue and said,
"The king of the neighboring country has invited us to their country. He said that a strange epidemic has also broken out in their country and hopes that we can go and help with the treatment."
Lin Yue took the letter and read it carefully. The symptoms of the epidemic described in the letter were very similar to the one they had encountered in the village before. Lin Yue knew in her heart that this might be another conspiracy of the dark forces, but she also knew that they couldn't ignore the lives and deaths of the people in the neighboring country.
"Your Highness, I think we should go."
Lin Yue looked up at Li Yi and said.
Li Yi slightly frowned.
"Miss Lin, I know you're kind - hearted, but there might be something fishy about this. We've just experienced a big battle, and the prince's mansion is still under reconstruction. I'm worried that..."
Lin Yue took Li Yi's hand.
"Your Highness, I understand your concerns. But if we don't go, the people in the neighboring country will face a huge disaster. Moreover, we have the Spirit Crystal and the previous experience. Maybe we can find a solution."
Li Yi looked at Lin Yue's determined eyes, and his worries gradually dissipated. He let out a soft sigh.
"All right, Miss Lin. Since you've decided, I'll go with you. However, we need to make full preparations. We can't be careless this time."
So, Lin Yue and Li Yi began to prepare for the trip to the neighboring country. They selected a group of experienced guards and doctors, brought sufficient herbs and medicines, and also took the Spirit Crystal, hoping that it could play a role at a critical moment.
On the day of departure, everyone in the prince's mansion came to see them off. Steward Wang Fu looked at Lin Yue and Li Yi, his eyes full of worry.
"Your Highness, Miss Lin, the journey to the neighboring country is long and arduous. You must be careful."
Lin Yue smiled slightly.
"Steward Wang, don't worry. We'll come back safely."
Li Yi also nodded.
"The prince's mansion is in your hands. If there's anything, send someone to inform us in a timely manner."
Lin Yue and Li Yi, along with everyone, set foot on the journey to the neighboring country. Along the way, Lin Yue was full of worries in her heart. She constantly thought about ways to deal with the epidemic. Li Yi looked at Lin Yue, feeling extremely 心疼.
"Miss Lin, don't worry too much. We will definitely find a solution."
Lin Yue nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, I'm just worried that this epidemic is more serious than we thought."
When they arrived at the border of the neighboring country, they found that the border was heavily guarded, and the soldiers were very vigilant against them. Li Yi stepped forward to identify himself and state their purpose, but the soldiers remained unmoved, claiming that no one could enter the country without the king's order.
Lin Yue and Li Yi were puzzled. Was there some hidden secret? Just as they were at a stalemate with the soldiers, a general riding a fast horse rushed over. The general was slightly startled when he saw Li Yi and Lin Yue, then dismounted and saluted.
"I'm a general of the neighboring country. I've been ordered by the king to welcome you two. I'm sorry for the offense just now. Please forgive me."
Li Yi and Lin Yue exchanged a glance, and their doubts grew even stronger. What was the reason for this sudden change? With a lot of questions in their minds, they followed the general into the neighboring country.
