My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 480 - 329: Shearing the Wool Again
Although they had been sleeping in the same room for days, it was the first time they were sleeping in the same bed.
Li Nuo glanced over, she had her eyes tightly closed and was gripping the quilt firmly.
This reminded him of the initial situation of sharing a bed with Jiaren.
At first, they progressed from separate beds to the same bed, from two quilts to one quilt, and from wearing clothes to not wearing clothes, all through a long period of time.
This time, the progress was equally slow, but it was always moving in the expected direction.
Li Nuo slowly closed his eyes.
Not long after, Song Yiren's eyes slowly opened.
She glanced at him from the corner of her eye, a charming smile curved her lips.
Morning.
When Li Nuo woke up, only a faint fragrance remained by his side.
Yiren's quilt was neatly folded, and the sound of her practicing martial arts came from outside.
Actually, Li Nuo didn't wake up late, but Yiren woke up even earlier. As a High Realm Martial Artist, she was full of energy, needing only a short amount of sleep each day to fully recover.
After washing up, Li Nuo walked into the courtyard.
He pretended not to know about her sneaky morning kisses, as it wasn't the first time.
Soon, Zhao Zhiyi came in from outside, instructing the servants of the Princess Mansion to bring breakfast.
While the three of them were dining in the pavilion, Li Nuo looked at Zhao Zhiyi and said, "We will inevitably trouble Your Highness in the coming months."
Zhao Zhiyi smiled slightly and said, "Please don't say that, Lord Li has helped us so much. This is nothing. If you and Miss Song need anything else, feel free to ask..."
Li Nuo replied, "Thank you, Your Highness. We don't need anything at the moment."
Song Yiren secretly glanced at Li Nuo. Since he didn't mention needing a bed, did that mean they would sleep in the same bed again tonight?
She wondered if he had forgotten but didn't remind him.
After breakfast, Yiren continued practicing martial arts.
Li Nuo heard the Sixth Princess mention that since they started planning the Medical College, the other three Princes had also begun to follow suit, planning to establish their own Medical Colleges.
These Princes were interesting; whenever one of them achieved something, the others would surely imitate and follow suit.
Li Nuo smiled slightly and said, "This is a good thing. No matter what, the common people will benefit."
Zhao Zhiyi nodded and said, "I think so too."
Li Nuo had to admit, the Emperor who first set this rule in Zhao Country was truly wise.
In other countries, the struggle for the throne involved all kinds of ruthless tactics, with no means spared to achieve power.
The court was often in chaos, causing the common people to suffer.
But in Zhao Country, the more intense the struggle for the throne, the more the common people benefited.
Even if it was only a temporary benefit, it was still better than living in perpetual turmoil.
Li Nuo took paper and pen from the study, intending to continue writing the medical manual in the pavilion. When he saw the Sixth Princess preparing to grind ink, he instinctively said, "I can do it myself..."
Yet Zhao Zhiyi continued grinding ink and said, "I don't have Lord Li's profound knowledge, nor Doctor Sun's connections, so I can only help you with these little tasks..."
Given her words, Li Nuo had no choice but to let her continue.
As Zhao Zhiyi ground ink, she asked, "Lord Li, we are friends, right?"
Li Nuo nodded and said, "Of course."
Initially, their relationship could only be regarded as a partnership.
Li Nuo helped her with tasks, and in return, she promised to help him cultivate in the future.
However, after spending so much time together, Li Nuo greatly admired this Princess, who was as capable as any man, and their relationship had become much closer than it was initially. Calling each other friends felt appropriate.
Zhao Zhiyi said, "Since we are friends, Lord Li, can you stop being so formal with me and stop calling me Your Highness? You can call me Zhiyi, like my elder brother."
Upon hearing this, Li Nuo nodded and said, "Understood."
Then he continued, "You don't need to call me Lord Li either, just call me..."
He suddenly realized that familiar names for women could omit the surname, like Jiaren, Yiren, Anning, Zhiyi, but for men, omitting the surname felt strange.
He waved his hand and said, "Just don't call me Lord Li; friends don't need any formal titles..."
On this matter, they reached a consensus.
Li Nuo compiled the manual for a while, and then Doctor Sun arrived at the Princess Mansion.
He had raised another twenty thousand taels of silver and recruited two more professors for the Medical College.
These medical professionals not only contributed money and manpower but also provided many exclusive medical prescriptions.
Each specializes in different areas of treatment: there were those skilled in pediatrics, gynecology, internal medicine, and surgery. For instance, Doctor Sun had his own unique prescription for infertility.
Although they might not have been considered benevolent doctors before, this time, regardless of their initial intentions, they have indeed made great contributions to the development of the Medical School and the welfare of the people.
It's time to reward them.
Giving them some benefits now will also secure their commitment to this cause.
Doctor Sun handed the silver notes to Zhao Zhiyi and said to Li Nuo, "I still have some wealthy friends, but they don't live in the capital. I intend to find them..."
Li Nuo said, "There's no rush. I have a more important task for you, Doctor Sun."
A moment later, after hearing Li Nuo's words, Doctor Sun exclaimed, "To prevent smallpox?"
He thought he had heard wrong.
The term "smallpox" alone would make any doctor tremble.
