A woman in a coarse cloth dress held a long sword in her hand, dancing like a butterfly, knocking back the assassins one by one. Her movements were quick and accurate, and each sword stabbed the opponent's vital points.

The battle ended soon, and the assassins retreated. The woman turned around and looked at Zhou Xing. Her face was beautiful and her eyes were firm. Zhou Xing recognized her as Ling Xue, the small vendor who once sold medicine in the market. He did not expect that on this cold night, this inconspicuous woman saved his life.

"Thank you for saving your life, Miss." Zhou Xing bowed deeply, his voice a little hoarse.

Ling Xue gently waved the tip of her sword, and the blood drifted away with the wind, "You don't have to be polite, I'm just passing by."

Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue's back and felt an inexplicable sense of gratitude and respect in his heart. He knew that everything tonight would be the turning point of his destiny.

The wind and snow gradually stopped and the sky was dim. Zhou Xing was recuperating his wounds in a dilapidated temple, while Ling Xue was busy making medicine soup for him. The fragrance of medicine filled the air, warming the cold corner. Zhou Xing's injuries gradually improved under Ling Xue's careful care, and his heart gradually calmed down.

At this moment, a mysterious messenger appeared quietly outside the temple, holding a sealed letter in his hand. He looked around and made sure that no one was following him. He quickly entered the temple and handed the letter to Zhou Xing. The messenger looked hurried, leaving only a sentence "The emperor has an order", and disappeared like a ghost in the morning mist.

Zhou Xing opened the envelope and saw a secret edict wrapped in yellow silk. It was written on it with the emperor's personal commentary. The content of the secret edict shocked Zhou Xing - he was ordered to return to the capital immediately and participate in a major event related to the survival of the country. It turned out that the emperor had already noticed that the treacherous ministers in the court were in chaos and urgently needed a loyal and reliable member of the royal family to assist the government.

Zhou Xing knew that this return to Beijing was a big deal, and he had to act carefully to avoid falling into the trap again. He decided to take Ling Xue to the capital with her medical skills as a cover and protect her safety. Although Ling Xue knew nothing about life in the palace, she felt extremely excited and honored to be able to fight side by side with Zhou Xing.

The two packed their bags and embarked on the way back to Beijing. They didn't know how steep the road ahead was, nor did they know what fate would be waiting for them. But one thing is certain is that they will face all challenges together and write their own legends.

The gates of the capital seem solemn and ancient under the rising sun. Busy crowds come in and out at the city gate, each with their own worries. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue walked through the crowd and stepped into this bustling and complex city. Zhou Xing's heart was filled with tension and uneasiness, and he knew that danger might be hidden in every corner of this place.

They first came to an inconspicuous inn to settle down. Zhou Xing decided to observe the situation secretly first and then make plans. He and Ling Xue changed into civilian costumes and began to inquire about news in the capital. During this process, they met some old friends and met some new faces. Everyone had different reactions to Zhou Xing's return. Some were surprised, some were suspicious, and some were secretly observing.

By chance, Zhou Xing learned a shocking news: It turned out that the one who framed him was a powerful minister of the current dynasty, and the powerful minister was now plotting to rebel. This news made Zhou Xing's anger ignite again, and he decided to reveal the truth and justify himself.

However, things were not that simple. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue soon found themselves involved in a palace struggle. While protecting themselves, they had to collect evidence carefully and expose the conspiracy of powerful ministers. In this process, they not only had to face the pursuit of powerful ministers, but also deal with various plots and temptations from the palace.

Every crisis made Zhou Xing and Ling Xue closer, and they supported each other and grew up together. Zhou Xing's wisdom and courage gradually gained recognition and support from people, and Ling Xue's medical skills were also well-known in the capital. They knew that only by uniting one's heart can we overcome all difficulties.

The disease in the capital spreads among the people like a plague, and the sounds of coughing and groaning are everywhere on the streets and alleys. Ling Xue's heart was touched by these sufferings, and she decided to use her medical skills to help those helpless people. With the support of Zhou Xing, she opened a small clinic in a corner of the capital to treat and treat poor people for free.

After the news spread, more and more people came to see it, and there were always long queues in front of Ling Xue's clinic. Her excellent medical skills were not only able to cure common diseases, but also to rejuvenate even some difficult and complicated diseases. Soon, Ling Xue's name spread in the capital, and people respectfully called her "Medical Immortal".

At the same time, Zhou Xing was secretly investigating the crimes of powerful officials. He collected information through various channels and gradually pieced together a complete picture of the conspiracy. However, just when he was about to submit the evidence to the emperor, he found that someone was secretly monitoring his every move.

One night, several masked men sneaked into the clinic, trying to search for Zhou Xing's secret documents. Ling Xue wisely guided these people into the trap she prepared in advance and successfully subdued them. This incident made Zhou Xing realize that their actions had aroused the alertness of powerful officials and they must speed up their actions.

In the following days, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were busy treating patients during the day, while secretly planning how to expose the crimes of powerful officials at night. Their efforts were not in vain, and more and more evidence emerged, and their names were also popular among the people.

As time goes by, the relationship between Zhou Xing and Ling Xue is also quietly growing. After experiencing countless ups and downs together, their hearts are getting closer and closer. Zhou Xing is deeply attracted by Ling Xue's kindness and tenacity, and Ling Xue is also moved by Zhou Xing's integrity and courage. On a starry night, the two finally met honestly and expressed their feelings.

However, just as the two were about to make a lifelong vow, a sudden news broke the warmth - the powerful ministers learned about Zhou Xing's actions and sent a killer to assassinate him. In the critical situation, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue had to temporarily put down their personal emotions and devote themselves to the struggle against the powerful ministers.

At a carefully designed banquet, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue teamed up to set up a trap and successfully lured the powerful ministers to reveal their mistakes. They took this opportunity to collect decisive evidence and prepared to expose the crimes of the powerful ministers to the emperor during the morning court the next day.

However, the powerful ministers are not a good deal. After learning that his plan failed, he immediately took crazy counterattack measures. A thrilling pursuit began in the streets and alleys of the capital. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue, with wisdom and courage, broke into danger again and again, and finally revealed the true face of the powerful ministers in front of the emperor.

In addition to being furious, the emperor ordered the powerful ministers to be arrested and imprisoned, and expressed deep apology and gratitude to Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing was named the Marquis of Zhongyong, and Ling Xue was also named "national doctor" for her outstanding medical skills. Their love story and heroic deeds became the most touching legend in the capital.

After a series of twists and turns, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue finally ushered in the double victory of their love and justice. In order to commend their achievements, the emperor personally held a grand wedding for them. The entire capital was immersed in a festive atmosphere, and people came to congratulate the heroes.

On the wedding day, the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining. Zhou Xing wore gorgeous official uniforms and was heroic; Ling Xue wore an exquisite phoenix crown and robe, as gentle as orchids. They exchanged oaths under the witness of everyone and promised to stay together for the rest of their lives. The emperor gave gifts from the hall full of gold and jade, wishing them a happy marriage for a hundred years and a harmonious sound of the zither.

From then on, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue lived a happy and peaceful life. Zhou Xing continued to assist the emperor in the court in governing the country, while Ling Xue opened a medical school to teach medical skills to future generations. Their stories were passed down by future generations as eternal stories, inspiring generations of people to pursue true love and justice.

As time goes by, Zhou Xing's body gradually grows taller, and his eyes also have a little firmness and sharpness. Finally one day, he packed up a few pieces of clothing and set foot on the way to the capital alone. The bustling and noisy city of the capital is completely different from his childhood memories. Every brick and tile here seems so strange and full of opportunities.

At first, Zhou Xing could only set up stalls on the street and sell some gadgets to make a living. His intelligence quickly attracted the attention of an old businessman. The old businessman saw Zhou Xing's potential and accepted him as his disciple and taught him how to do business. Zhou Xing studied eagerly, not only mastered the business philosophy, but also learned how to plan in the business world.

In a few years, Zhou Xing, with his own efforts and wisdom, grew from an unknown hawker to a young businessman with his own business territory. His reputation gradually became louder in the capital, and people's evaluation of him also changed from initial suspicion to admiration. Zhou Xing knew that all this was just the beginning, and his goal was far more than that. He wanted to become the person who could control the entire business world, and he wanted to make his name a legend.

Before the morning mist in the capital had dissipated, Zhou Xing was already wearing a blue shirt and walked into the bustling market in the light of the morning glow. His eyes were flashing with longing for the future, and he held the contract that was about to change his destiny in his hand. This contract was the first big deal he reached with the palace, and won him the title of "Imperial Merchants".

As time went by, Zhou Xing's business empire spread rapidly like vines in spring. His shops were spread all over the corners of the capital, and even extended to several surrounding provinces. His goods were of various types, from silk porcelain to tea and spices, and they were carefully selected and of high quality. Zhou Xing's name became synonymous with quality, and his caravans became a symbol of fame.

However, challenges are always behind success. Competitors are jealous of Zhou Xing's rise and began to form secret alliances in an attempt to shake his position in the business world. Business competitions have quietly begun, but Zhou Xing has always remained calm and calm. He used wisdom and strategies to resolve crises again and again, and even found new business opportunities in adversity.

Zhou Xing performed particularly well at a grand business banquet. He not only cleverly solved a problem that could lead to a supply chain break, but also took this opportunity to meet several influential business figures. After the banquet, people talked about the extraordinary talent and profound vision of this young royal businessman.

Zhou Xing knew that every step he took must be steady and accurate. He not only had to safeguard his business interests, but also ensured that his reputation was not damaged. In this business world full of variables, Zhou Xing was like a steady ship, no matter how surging the wind and waves were, he could sail to the other side of success.

During a business trip to the Western Regions, Zhou Xing traveled through the rolling mountains and came to an oasis town surrounded by the desert. The sun shone through the sparse clouds on the busy market, and the golden light and various stalls intertwined into a lively picture. In such a vibrant place, Zhou Xing's eyes were attracted by a woman.

Her name is Ling Xue, and she was wearing a red dress and was particularly eye-catching among the crowd. Her eyebrows and eyes revealed a sharpness and intelligence that was different from ordinary people. She was bargaining with vendors, with a firm tone without any politeness. When Zhou Xing walked closer, he found that she was purchasing supplies for her caravan and knew the market conditions well.

The conversation between the two quickly changed from business to their respective business concepts. Ling Xue's sharp and unique insights made Zhou Xing look at her with admiration. She not only has a deep understanding of Silk Road trade, but also has a keen insight into emerging market trends. Zhou Xing felt that this was a rare commercial mutual appreciation.

In the days that followed, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's cooperation became more and more tacit. They jointly planned a large-scale cross-regional trade activity, introducing rare goods from the Western Regions into the Mainland, and bringing exquisite handicrafts from the Mainland to the Western Regions. This cooperation not only brought them huge profits, but also brought their reputation in the business world to a new height.

On a starry night, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue sat by the bonfire, looking back at the little things during this period. They realized that they were not only the best partners in business, but also able to support each other and grow together in life. At this moment, the two hearts quietly approached, and a legendary cooperative relationship was slowly beginning.

As Zhou Xing and Ling Xue deepened their cooperation, their business territory continued to expand and their influence became increasingly stronger. By chance, they discovered a new trade route. This secret trade route not only avoided conventional risk areas, but also greatly shortened the time for cargo transportation. The two decided to work together to develop this trade route and build it into an important trade link connecting the East and the West.

In order to achieve this grand plan, Zhou Xing was responsible for raising funds and organizing manpower, while Ling Xue used her network of relations in the Western Regions to open up the joints. They worked day and night and overcome many difficulties. In a critical negotiation, Ling Xue wisely resolved a misunderstanding that could cause conflict, demonstrating her extraordinary diplomatic talent.

Zhou Xing, a prince who was framed and exiled, wore a shabby cloak and walked alone in the desolate field. The sky was gloomy and the wind was cold, as if it had predicted his fate, as cold and dark as the weather. A firm light flashed in his eyes. Although he was in a difficult situation, he never gave up his pursuit of the truth and hope for the future.

At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves broke the silence of the field.
