Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Eunuch Cheng, is the Empress Dowager really allowing that commoner physician to treat her?”

In the small kitchen of Yongshou Palace, a little palace maid asked curiously as she brewed medicine for the Empress Dowager.

The others looked at him.

The eunuch in charge said arrogantly, “Are you blind? Without the Empress Dowager’s permission, can you still obediently brew medicine here? In addition, in the future, show some respect to her. What physician girl from the commoners? She’s the physician of the Number One Hall, the daughter of the Protector Duke! ”

Another palace maid wondered, “Why did a rich young lady become a medicine woman… Uh… physician… female physician!”

The medical woman had a low status in Great Zhou and usually did not treat men. She only delivered babies and treated some indescribable gynecological hidden illnesses.

Not to mention men, even women thought that the medicine woman was lowly.

Sometimes, women were the ones who looked down on women the most.

The eunuch in charge actually sighed. How did a young lady become a physician?

He heard that she had grown up among the commoners and her family was poor. She probably had no choice, right?

“Stop talking nonsense. These things are not something you can say! If I hear you discussing Physician Su again, watch your skin!”

“Yes! Eunuch Cheng!”

The Empress Dowager was a difficult patient, but as long as she targeted her weakness, her level of cooperation was much higher than Wei Ting’s. At the very least, she would not find all kinds of excuses not to inject.

She was a ruthless person.

“Empress Dowager, how do you feel?” Su Xiaoxiao asked. “It’s alright,” the Empress Dowager said calmly. The eunuch in charge gave Su Xiaoxiao a look.

This meant that it was quite good.

After Su Xiaoxiao performed acupuncture on the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager’s head was not so heavy, and her blood flow seemed to be smoother.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “This acupuncture technique is passed down from my master’s family.” “Who’s your master?” “Fu Sheng.”

“Who’s Fu Sheng?”

“Imperial Physician Fu Kun’s son.”

“Fu Kun…” The Empress Dowager muttered,” Ah, him? I have some impression of him. His medical skills are not bad, but unfortunately, he passed away early.

He had faked his death and lived in town for many years. However, there was no need to argue with the Empress Dowager about this.

The Empress Dowager said indifferently, “Are you recommending a physician to me? Why? When a person achieves the Dao, his chickens and dogs will soar to the heavens? Don’t blame me for not reminding you. I haven’t even seen a trace of the person!”

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “You can only see the person when you’re well!”

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly. “You’d better not be lying to me.

Otherwise, even if you cure me, I won’t appreciate it!”

Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand. “I know, I know.”

At noon, Su Xiaoxiao accompanied the Empress Dowager for lunch at Yongshou Palace.

The Empress Dowager was eating the medicinal cuisine she had stewed.

The Empress Dowager did not have a good appetite and did not like the smell of medicine. Ordinary medicinal cuisine could not enter her mouth.

Halfway through her meal, the Empress Dowager glanced at the eunuch in charge.

The eunuch in charge understood and hurriedly asked with a smile, “Physician Su, what is your medicinal cuisine made of? It smells so good.”

Su Xiaoxiao explained patiently, “It’s stewed with Huaishan and the five grains. Huaishan is good for the stomach, the spleen, and the lungs. The five grains can nourish the blood and qi. The Empress Dowager’s spleen and stomach are not good. If she doesn’t recuperate, she won’t be able to absorb any medicine.” The eunuch in charge was enlightened. “Ah, I see.”

Doctor Su’s explanation was easy to understand; she was unlike those imperial physicians who always talked about unfathomable medical theories, making them at a loss.

In the afternoon, Su Xiaoxiao played chess with the Empress Dowager for a while.

The Empress Dowager looked at Su Xiaoxiao’s unconventional moves and couldn’t help but ask, “Girl, who taught you chess?”

“A friend,” Su Xiaoxiao said.

The Empress Dowager muttered, “It does seem a little like an old friend of mine.”

After coming out of the Yongshou Palace, Su Xiaoxiao bumped into Hu Jiusheng, who was on duty.

Ever since he found out that Su Xiaoxiao was Fu Sheng’s disciple, Hu Jiusheng had disliked her. He didn’t look at Su Xiaoxiao and walked forward.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over with a faint smile. “Court Commissioner Hu, don’t be in a hurry to leave. You look like you’re afraid of me. Why? Have you done something wrong?”

Hu Jiusheng stopped and glanced at her coldly. “Don’t spout nonsense!”

“Yo, are you angry?” Su Xiaoxiao sneered at him and said lightly, “You know best if you did it or not, right?”

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about!”

“Oh, then I’ll make things clearer. You know about what happened back then, right? Did you deliberately ask Imperial Physician Fu to take the pulse on your behalf?”

Hu Jiusheng’s expression changed fiercely!

Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes dangerously. “Looks like it’s true. Hu Jiusheng, the heavens are watching… Ah, no, I’m watching.”

Su Xiaoxiao approached him step by step.

“There’s a price to pay for deceiving your master and killing your ancestors.” With that, Su Xiaoxiao left without looking back.

Hu Jiusheng stood rooted to the ground alone, breaking out in a cold sweat.

“Court Commissioner Hu!”

A young man’s voice woke Hu Jiusheng up. He regained his consciousness and realized that he had unknowingly walked to the bridge by the pond.

He turned around and looked at the other party before hurriedly cupping his hands and bowing. “Your Highness!”

Xiao Duye walked over elegantly and looked at him with a smile. “What’s wrong with Chief Physician Hu?”

Hu Jiusheng cupped his hands and said, “Ah, it’s nothing. I’m thinking of a prescription. Sorry for embarrassing myself.” Xiao Duye asked, “Are you worried about my grandmother’s illness?”

Hu Jiusheng braced himself and said, “…Yes.”

Xiao Duye sighed faintly. “What a pity. It’s useless no matter how worried you are. My imperial grandmother didn’t give you a chance to treat her at all. Speaking of this, I’m puzzled. Aren’t you Third Brother’s man? Why did he abandon you and choose a physician from the commoners?”

The eunuch at the side said, “Your Highness, you forgot that the Qin family is engaged to the Third Prince.”

Xiao Duye looked enlightened. “So Third Brother is paving the way for my future third sister-in-law? It’s really a pity that Court Commissioner Hu has nowhere to show his ambition and is a stepping stone for others.”

These words hit Hu Jiusheng’s heart.

However, he could not admit it. Otherwise, once he was labeled as colluding with the prince, he would probably anger Emperor Jing Xuan.

Xiao Duye smiled. “Court Commissioner Hu, since Third Brother doesn’t cherish you so much, why do you continue to work for him? Why don’t…”

Tap, tap, tap!

A horse sped over and slammed into Xiao Duye!

Everyone, including Xiao Duye himself, did not have time to react.

In the next second, Xiao Duye was sent flying by the horse and fell into the pool!

The eunuch shouted, “Your Highness!”

Wei Ting rode his horse and paced back and forth on the wooden bridge. He looked at Xiao Duye, who was struggling desperately in the water, in surprise.

“Aiya, it’s His First Highness. I’m sorry, the horse lost control.”

“Who allowed you to run wild in the palace….” Gulp. Before he could finish, Xiao Duye sank.

Someone!

He didn’t know how to swim!
