A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Yuan Hui felt a lot less worried. “If it’s just external injuries, there’s no need to worry too much. By the way, I have superior-class medicine for injuries in Russia. Use it on him. His wounds will close immediately.”

“Alright, thank you, Uncle.” Ning Yue took the medicine from Yuan Hui’s hand. It was good medicine that could immediately scab a wound. She would bring it to Gu Yu for study later.

After returning home, Ning Yue went to check on Jiang Ying’s condition. Jiang Ying’s injuries were more stable, and the medicine he used was almost all modern.

Ning Yue also used some antibiotics. Although antibiotics should not be abused, Jiang Ying was already injured to this extent. If she did not use antibiotics, she was afraid that his wound would have pus and inflammation.

After changing Jiang Ying’s dressing, Ning Yue went to rest. The next morning, someone from the palace suddenly came. He said that the Late Emperor wanted to see Ning Yue and invited her over.

On the way, Ning Yue asked the eunuch who had come to the Ning family, “Why did the emperor emeritus suddenly want to see me?”

“Princess, I don’t know either. The emperor emeritus seems to be quite anxious recently. I don’t know why, but he often mutters about properties.” The eunuch was also at a loss about the emperor emeritus’s request.

However, when Ning Yue heard about the businesses, she more or less understood that the emperor emeritus must have looked for her because of the businesses he had entrusted her to manage previously.

Recently, she had been overworked because of Lian Xin’s matter. She did not have the time to look at the businesses entrusted to her by the emperor emeritus.

When she arrived at the emperor emeritus’s study, she saw that the emperor emeritus was writing. Ning Yue greeted him and the emperor emeritus nodded. “You’re here. Take a seat first. Wait for me to finish writing these words.”

When Ning Yue heard this, she walked to the side and sat down. It was only an hour later when the emperor emeritus finished writing.

The emperor emeritus wiped his hands and walked to his main seat to sit down. He smiled at Ning Yue and said, “Looks like you’re not too impatient. You’re very calm.”

When Ning Yue heard this, she quickly thanked him. “Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty.”

“There’s no need to be nervous. I called you over to ask you about those businesses. Have you taken a good look at them for me?” The Retired Emperor asked.

As expected, it was because of the businesses! Ning Yue was instantly a little embarrassed. She said to the emperor emeritus in embarrassment, “I went there once last time. Recently, I was overwrought because of Lian Xin, so I haven’t gone to visit again.”

“It’s fine. In any case, I’ve been a hands-off shopkeeper for a long time. There won’t be any trouble if I visit occasionally. I just want to know how things are over there,” the Retired Emperor said with a smile.

Ning Yue thought to herself that the emperor emeritus’s intentions were too obvious. He wanted to tell her not to delay showing him the assets.

Still, it was her fault. She had almost put this situation at the back of her mind.

“The emperor emeritus is right. I’ve remembered it. I’m planning to visit those places in the next few days. I’ve already drawn up a plan and am waiting for the emperor emeritus’s guidance,” Ning Yue said.

“Oh? You already have a plan? Tell me.” The emperor emeritus was immediately interested, and the unhappiness in his heart dissipated because Ning Yue said that she had drawn up a plan.

“It’s like this…” Ning Yue drafted a plan for the emperor emeritus on the spot.

Basically, the last time she went to those businesses to check on the situation, she realized that there were some cancers.

It was not that the businesses were not good, but that some managers were not. Although she had already reorganized it last time, she had only dealt with the managers of one store last time.

Although it had intimidated the managers of the other areas, it did not mean that they would always get better. So much time had passed, but she had never gone to take a look. She did not know what would happen there.

This time, the plan she was talking about was made for these groups of people.

The Retired Emperor was very satisfied. “That’s right. You’re still the one in charge of the businesses. We’ll just follow your plan.”

“Thank you for your praise, Emperor Emeritus.” Ning Yue thanked him again.

The Retired Emperor thought for a moment and took out another token. “This token was given to me by the previous emperor when I was still a prince. I’ll leave this token to you. If there’s anything, you can take out this token. Even the emperor has to recognize this token..”
