Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“She’s out, she’s out!”

At the entrance of the Yongshou Palace, Imperial Physician Zhang hurriedly took a few steps back and turned around, pretending not to be peeping.

He had come with two other imperial physicians to ask for the Empress Dowager’s pulse.

They knew it. How could treating the Empress Dowager be so smooth?

Even their Imperial Hospital had hit a wall everywhere. It was unknown how much bad luck they had with the Empress Dowager. This girl must have been chased out by the Empress Dowager!

“Physician Su, take care.”

The eunuch in charge sent her to the door.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Eunuch Cheng, please wait. Later, please send someone to the Number One Hall to get the medicine. I’ll get someone to prepare the herbs. ”

The eunuch in charge smiled and said, “Thank you, Physician Su.”

Imperial Physician Zhang and the others looked at each other.

Did they hear wrongly?

The people from Yongshou Palace were going to the Number One Hall to get medicine?

Wait, didn’t the Empress Dowager get all her medicine from the Imperial Pharmacy? How could she use medicine from outside?

No, that was not the point.

The point was that the empress dowager had actually agreed to take the medicine.

Everyone looked at Su Xiaoxiao in disbelief.

Su Xiaoxiao reminded him, “In addition, I made the medicinal cuisine myself. It’s helpful to the Empress Dowager’s condition.”

The eunuch in charge said amiably, “I will remind the Empress Dowager to eat.”

“How is it?” Princess Jingning walked forward and asked.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, “The Empress Dowager is very kind and cooperative!”

Princess Jingning muttered, “Are you sure we’re referring to the same Empress Dowager?

News of Su Xiaoxiao treating the Empress Dowager spread like wildfire.

More and more patients came because of the reputation, and many of Benevolence Hall’s business was snatched away.

Shopkeeper Wu stood at the door and looked out at the entrance of the Number One Hall. Manager Sun introduced Su Xiaoxiao to others in high spirits.

Shopkeeper Wu said angrily, “She hasn’t been treated yet, but they really dare to say it! When did Eldest Master publicize for treating so many nobles?” This was the crux of the problem.

Hu Jiusheng was an imperial physician. His starting point in becoming famous was high. It was not a big deal to treat the nobles in the palace.

Su Xiaoxiao was different.

She was Qin Canglan’s long-lost granddaughter. She had grown up among the commoners and had suffered a lot. Her starting point could not be lower.

If everyone’s expectations for her were calculated from one to ten, she would at most be one.

However, she had achieved ten. This contrast would make one’s jaw drop.

“It’s not just the Empress Dowager. You know about the Marquis of Zhenbei, right? His illness was also treated by our boss. If you don’t believe me, go and ask around. There’s also the Third Prince and Young Marquis Jing of the Marquis Wuwei’s Estate. Our boss has treated them all!”

Manager Sun already knew Su Xiaoxiao’s background and was determined not to let go of any opportunity to make a name for the medical center.

He did not mention Princess Jingning. It was Su Xiaoxiao who instructed him.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t want Princess Jingning’s appearance to become everyone’s topic of conversation.

Second Master Hu was so angry that he stomped his feet. He glared at Shopkeeper Wu and said, “Think of something! If this continues, all the patients in our Benevolence Hall will really be snatched away!”

Manager Wu scratched his ears and cheeks. “Thats what I’ve been trying to do!”

Wei Ting came over to Pear Blossom Lane today.

He used to come at night, and it was rare for him to appear in the day.

The three little ones looked at him with unfamiliarity.

“Call me Dad,” he said.

Xiaohu placed his hands on his hips and stomped his feet. He said solemnly, “Do you still remember that you’re our father? You don’t do anything and don’t return home. Mother was so busy! Is there anyone like you as a father?” The little guy spoke much more nimbly than before. Wei Ting said in amusement and anger, “I come at night. You were asleep.”

Xiaohu crossed his arms. “Hmph, I don’t believe you!”

Wei Ting laughed and scratched Xiaohu’s head. “I’m your father even if you don’t believe me. Quick, call me father!”

Xiaohu raised his chin. “That’s hard to say. If Mom doesn’t want you anymore, Xiaohu can change fathers!”

Wei Ting was speechless.

When Su Xiaoxiao arrived home, Wei Ting was tidying up his clothes.

“There you are. Eh? Are you staying?”

If he didn’t stay, his sons would have to change their father— Wei Ting said coldly, “You came to my room to sleep?”

Her hair and fragrance were on the pillow.

Before Su Xiaoxiao could speak, he said, “There’s no need to miss me like this.”

Su Xiaoxiao muttered,” Why do I suddenly want to chase you out?”

When Wei Ting came over, Su Ergou was the happiest. He missed his brother-in-law very much.

Of course, there was another reason. Su Cheng was not around. Otherwise, he would probably be the happiest.

“Where’s Dad?” Wei Ting asked.

“He went to the racecourse to practice martial arts,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Qin Canglan did not relax his training of Su Cheng just because Su Cheng defeated Qin Jiang. On the contrary, he was even stricter and made Su Cheng work harder as if he was anxious to teach Su Cheng everything he had learned in his life.

“You went to the palace to treat the Empress Dowager?” Wei Ting asked. Su Xiaoxiao hummed. “Did you rush over in broad daylight because of this?”

Without waiting for Wei Ting to speak, she raised her eyebrows and said, “You don’t have to be so worried about me.”

Wei Ting was speechless.

Wei Ting took a book and sat down by the window.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the medicine box, grabbed his bandaged right hand, and told him about the secret decree that the late emperor had given to Qin Canglan and the Old Marquis.

When Wei Ting heard this, he thought for a moment and said, “The previous emperor also gave my grandfather a secret decree back then to let him elect Prince Nanyang to the throne.”

“Two secret decrees…” Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “It was impossible for the late emperor to establish two new rulers at the same time. Which secret decree is real? ”

“Mother!”

Xiaohu ran in. “Does Sihu wants to eat candied hawthorn?”

Wei Ting asked, “Who is Sihu?” “Brother,” Xiaohu said. “It’s been four months.”

Wei Ting’s body trembled!

During the few days he was not at home, the little brats even had a younger brother!

“Sihu can’t eat it,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

Xiaohu’s eyes darted around. “Then, Dahu wants to eat candied hawthorn!”

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but ask, “Only Dahu wants to eat it?” Xiaohu thought for a moment. “Erhu wants to eat it too!”

Su Xiaoxiao teased him, “Then only Xiaohu doesn’t want to eat it?”

Xiaohu blinked cutely. “But if Mother insists on buying it for Xiaohu, Xiaohu can eat it too.”

Su Xiaoxiao laughed.

He was a brat!

After changing Wei Ting’s dressing, Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting went out to buy candied hawthorn for the three little fellows.

In order not to be recognized, Wei Ting wore a jade mask.

Even though this person’s face was covered, he was still as cool as jade.

Su Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment before putting on a veil.

Wei Ting looked at her unique chubby figure. “I don’t think there’s much point in you wearing a veil.”

The two of them spent half a tael of silver to buy six sticks of candied hawthorn.

“The price of sugar has increased again,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “In the past, it was 40 to 50 copper coins a stick.”

The two of them walked back.

Wei Ting said, “The battle in the southwest has started.”

Su Xiaoxiao was surprised. “Have they really fought?”

Wei Ting said calmly, “It’s just a group of rebels. They’ve already been eliminated. It’s just that the southwest is rich in sugar, and the price of sugar has been affected.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “I see.”

Since ancient times, war had hurt the people.

Wei Ting continued, “Fortunately, it didn’t affect the salt shipment in the southwest this time.”

Sugar was not a necessity for ordinary people. Salt was. If the price of salt rose, who knew what chaos it would bring.

Su Xiaoxiao listened attentively.

Suddenly, a carriage bumped into her!
