Imperial Physician Wan chuckled and said, “She’s a little girl who grew up among the commoners. Do you expect her to be like an imperial physician?” Imperial Physician Li said unhappily, “Is she coming or not? If she’s not coming, tell me. Should we continue to go to the Yongshou Palace to ask for a safe pulse?”

Everyone looked at Hu Jiusheng.

Hu Jiusheng sat down in his seat and flipped open a medical table. He said seriously, “Of course, we have to ask for the Empress Dowager’s pulse. Everyone, don’t let your guard down. The Empress Dowager’s illness still needs to be treated by our Imperial Hospital. Ear stone disease is just an urgent illness that suddenly appeared in the Empress Dowager, but what really made the Empress Dowager lie in bed is her old illness. This is the most important thing. ”

Imperial Physician Wan hurriedly echoed, “The Court Commissioner is right.

That girl only treated her ear stones. The Empress Dowager is still bedridden… I don’t see anyone from the Yongshou Palace coming to get medicine… That girl is most likely helpless against the Empress Dowager’s illness, right?”

Another imperial physician said, “That’s right. Is she only good at ear stones?

Yet another imperial physician said, “In my opinion, it was a coincidence, right?”

Everyone was talking at once. In the end, they didn’t believe that Su Xiaoxiao had treated the Empress Dowager with her exquisite medical skills.

“It’s been so long, but I haven’t heard of her entering the palace. She probably won’t come, right?”

“She can’t treat it. Of course, she won’t come and embarrass herself!”

“That… I heard it was the Empress Dowager’s idea.”

“What do you mean?”

“The Empress Dowager said that Physician Su can’t treat her illness and asked her not to come.”

“The Empress Dowager didn’t say such things to our Imperial Hospital, right? Even the Empress Dowager can tell that her medical skills aren’t exquisite! She just happened to stumble onto a cure and doesn’t have any medical skills!”

“Ahem!”

Imperial Physician Zhu coughed heavily.

“What’s wrong, Old Zhu…” Imperial Physician Zhang looked in the direction Imperial Physician Zhu was pointing and choked.

It was true that one could not talk about people during the day and ghosts at night. Why did this girl appear just as he was talking about this girl? “How long has she been here?” Imperial Physician Zhang covered his mouth and asked.

Imperial Physician Zhu gritted his teeth and said, “It’s been quite a while. She’s been standing there since you said that she stumbled onto a cure.”

Imperial Physician Zhang instantly blushed. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Imperial Physician Zhu continued to say with stiff lips, “I gave you a look. All of you were blind. What can I do?”

They were all qualified imperial physicians. Putting aside their medical skills, it was really awkward to gossip behind someone’s back. Su Xiaoxiao smiled calmly. “Good morning, imperial physicians.”

Everyone was embarrassed. “Morning, morning.”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “I made some medicinal cuisine this morning. I came late and made everyone anxious.”

Imperial Physician Zhang gave a fake smile. “No, no. Doctor Su, are you here to get medicine?

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m here to take the Empress Dowager’s medical case and ask everyone about the Empress Dowager’s medical history.”

Imperial Physician Zhang turned to look at Hu Jiusheng.

He was the current Court Commissioner. He had the final say in this matter.

Hu Jiusheng said indifferently, “Can’t you diagnose what illness the Empress Dowager has? Do you still need to see our medical case? Besides, can you understand it?”

He had heard from Bi Yun that this girl’s homework in the palace was a mess. She could not even write a few words.

“If she can’t understand it, I’ll read it for her!”

Princess Jingning walked in with a dignified expression.

Hu Jiushengs expression changed. He hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Princess Jingning!”

The others also cupped their hands and bowed. “Greetings, Princess Jingning!” Princess Jingning glanced at Hu Jiusheng indifferently. “The medical case.”

Hu Jiusheng frowned and braced himself to find the Empress Dowager’s medical case. He handed it to Princess Jingning.

Princess Jingning said in a tone, “Give it to Physician Su.”

Hu Jiusheng gritted his teeth and brought the medical case to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Some people don’t have high medical skills and are quite arrogant.”

Hu Jiusheng’s face darkened.

After the two of them left, the Imperial Physician Court fell silent for a long time. No one dared to say anything.

Everyone was not stupid. They could tell that the girl was giving Court

Commissioner Hu an opening gambit just now and establishing a superior aura over him.

When she said that “some people’s medical skills are not high and they’re quite arrogant”, she was clearly mocking Court Commissioner Hu. “Court Commissioner Hu, does she have a grudge against you?”

Imperial Physician Li couldn’t help but speak.

Hu Jiusheng said coldly, “I don’t know her at all. How can there be a grudge? She doesn’t take the entire imperial hospital seriously!”

Everyone thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Hu Jiusheng said seriously, “The ignorant child is young and frivolous. Don’t take it to heart. We should think about how to treat the Empress Dowager’s illness.”

“That’s right. The Empress Dowager still depends on us in regard to her illness.”

“She doesn’t even know how to take a pulse and has to look through our medical cases. Why would His Majesty let such a quack treat the Empress Dowager?”

Imperial Physician Wan muttered, “I heard… that she was recommended by the Third Prince.”

Imperial Physician Li asked, “Why did His Highness recommend her?”

Imperial Physician Wan said, “Qin Jiang’s daughter is going to be the Eldest Prince’s secondary consort.”

Everyone was first shocked, then came to a realization.

The Qin family and the Third Prince were engaged. The original Third Princess

Consort was Qin Yanran. Now that Qin Yanran had already agreed to be the Eldest Prince’s secondary consort, who else could marry into the Third Prince’s residence other than the girl who grew up among the commoners?

The Third Prince was paving the way for the future Princess Consort…

Unfortunately, she could not treat the Empress Dowager at all.

At Yongshou Palace, the Empress Dowager saw Su Xiaoxiao again.

The Empress Dowager frowned. “Didn’t I tell you not to come?”

Su Xiaoxiao opened the medicine box and took out a stethoscope and a blood pressure gauge. “Did the Empress Dowager sleep well last night?”

The Empress Dowager turned her face away and ignored her.

The eunuch in charge coughed lightly and said, “She slept for six hours. It’s better than a few days ago.”

The Empress Dowager glared at the eunuch in charge.

The eunuch in charge shrank his neck and subconsciously leaned toward Princess Jingning.

Princess Jingning said, “Grandmother, you look much better today.”

The Empress Dowager said calmly, “Stop bewitching me.”

Princess Jingning said helplessly, “Alright, I look much better.”

The Empress Dowager glanced at her.

Princess Jingning did not wear a veil in Yong Shou Palace.

If one didn’t look, they wouldn’t know. Upon closer inspection, one would realize that Princess Jing Ning’s complexion had changed greatly.

The acne on her face had disappeared, leaving no acne marks. Her skin had become delicate and smooth, and her facial features were still ordinary, but they were much more pleasing to the eye.

Princess Jingning said softly, “I used Doctor Su’s medicine to treat my face.

Grandmother, you’ve seen Doctor Su’s medical skills. Let her treat you.”

The Empress Dowager said coldly, “I said that I won’t be treated!”

Su Xiaoxiao said to Princess Jingning, “Princess, can I treat the Empress Dowager alone?”

Princess Jingning looked at Su Xiaoxiao and then at the Empress Dowager.

This did not make sense.

However, since the little girl made such a request, she must have her own reasons.

In the end, Princess Jingning chose to trust Su Xiaoxiao.

“Eunuch Cheng, I made some tonic soup for the Empress Dowager. Follow me to get it.”

“Yes!”

The eunuch in charge slipped away extremely quickly, afraid that he would be retained by the Empress Dowager if he was a second slower.

The Empress Dowager said sternly, “Girl, do you want to use force on me like yesterday? Believe it or not, I’ll really punish you with the death penalty!”

Su Xiaoxiao gently placed the medicine box on the table and slowly opened it.

As she took out the stethoscope, she said calmly, “I want to tell the Empress Dowager a story.”

The Empress Dowager sneered. “Hmph, I don’t want to hear it!”

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Once, in an aristocratic family, there were brothers from the same mother. They were not the legitimate sons of their father. One was the eldest son of a concubine, and the other was the fourth son of the same concubine. They had many siblings at home, but they only had one family business. Their father was also very melancholic about who to leave it to.” The Empress Dowager paused.

“The biggest opponent was Father’s legitimate son. They joined forces to pull him down. At this moment, a new problem arose. Who was more qualified to inherit the family business? The biological mother liked the eldest son, but the father liked the fourth son. In the end, the fourth son won and chased the eldest brother out of the family. The eldest brother was indignant and made a comeback a few years later. Unfortunately, not only did he fail to take back the family business, but he was almost wiped out by the fourth son.”

Su Xiaoxiao hung the stethoscope around her neck and sat down beside the Empress Dowager with a blood pressure gauge. “Can the Empress Dowager understand what it means?”

The Empress Dowager’s pupils constricted.

Su Xiaoxiao put on her stethoscope.

The Empress Dowager’s thoughts raced as she reached out and grabbed Su

Xiaoxiao’s arm tightly. “You… what do you know!”

Su Xiaoxiao said unhurriedly, “I know a lot. For example, someone in the coffin lived.”

The Empress Dowager widened her eyes in disbelief.

She said with a trembling voice, “I… I don’t believe you…

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Then pretend I didn’t say anything.”

A conflict flashed across the Empress Dowager’s eyes, and her body trembled slightly.

“If you dare to lie to me, I’ll cut you into pieces!”
