Su Jinxuan had painstakingly found this prescription outside. He was afraid of getting infected by Su Yingxue’s illness, so he dared not have someone deliver it directly to the medical center.
Moreover, he coveted this immense credit and wanted to present it to Chu Mingyuan during the morning court to receive a reward.
This prescription was enough to elevate his official rank by two levels!
However, Chu Yihan suddenly brought Su Yingxue to the court. Liang Jin had reported that Chu Yihan was confirmed to be infected, but now that he was declared cured, and Su Yingxue publicly mentioned presenting the prescription to the Imperial Medical Academy, his prescription became useless!
Although he didn’t get a promotion, Su Yingxue gained face in the Imperial Court. In the future, leveraging her influence, he wouldn’t be afraid of missing opportunities for advancement and wealth.
But how did Su Yingxue get wind of this?
How could she know about this?
“Father, don’t be afraid. If 1 can settle the matter, I definitely won’t make things difficult for you. Moreover, being valued by the emperor also adds luster to your face, doesn’t it? Our Marquis’s Manor will benefit as well.” Su Yingxue smiled obediently.
Accustomed to her defiance, Su Dingheng was momentarily stunned. “You… Don’t blame me for not caring about you?”
Su Yingxue shook her head.
Su Dingheng felt a twinge of guilt in his heart. “Actually… It’s not that i don’t want to give you the prescription. I wanted the emperor to intervene and save you.”
Initially, he didn’t want Su Yingxue’s life. After all, she was his daughter, and it involved the honor and disgrace of the Marquis’s Manor!
However, Liu Shulan advised him that bestowing grace from the emperor was giving face to the emperor, and it wouldn’t hinder Su Yingxue’s life.
Su Yingxue smiled and said, “Father’s considerations weren’t wrong. Fortunately, 1 inherited Mother’s medical skills, and this time, 1 haven’t brought shame to our Masquis’s Manor. Let this matter rest. I need to return to the medical center for the aftermath. The medical center was burned, and its repair will take time. I want to recuperate in the manor for a while.”
“Of course. You’ve worked hard to develop the antidote. i’ll send some tonics to your courtyard and instruct the kitchen to prepare dinner for you!”
Su Dingheng and Su Yingxue walked together. The father-daughter appeared amiable, seen by others as a display of filial piety.
When Su Yingxue returned to the medical center, the guards had already withdrawn, but the medical center had been burned to a pulp.
Liang Jin specially waited in the medical center. When Su Yingxue returned, he conveyed Chu Mingyuan’s decree. “The emperor has decreed that Su Yingxue, for her achievements in overcoming the epidemic, is to be granted assistance from the Ministry of Works for the repair of the clinic. Compensation will be provided for those affected, and when the medical center is fully restored, an imperial plague will be bestowed.”
Su Yingxue knelt. “Thank you for the emperor’s grace.”
“Rise, genius doctor.”
Even though he knew her identity, Liang Jin still couldn’t help but address her as such.
He had already been shocked by her too much. When he saw her now, the shock on his face had not dissipated. “You’re really the great fortune of the Great Cheng Dynasty! Ten years ago, the poison doctor could cure the deadly plague, but he looked down on the imperial court. Now that you have also cured the deadly plague, you took the initiative to hand over the prescription to the Imperial Medical Academy. You have really contributed to the country.”
“A small contribution, not worth mentioning, 1 will strive to make more contributions in the future.” Su Yingxue smiled.
Her words were filled with extraordinary confidence. It was a unique beauty that transcended her appearance.
Liang Jin smiled in relief.
He assured her that he would supervise the Ministry of Works to ensure a thorough renovation of her medical center, making it even more magnificent than before.
Su Yingxue expressed her gratitude to him and went in to gather Manager Qi and the others.
She granted them an extended leave and allowed them to go home on paid leave for rest and recuperation.
Qin Ming and the apprentices expressed their gratitude, but Manager Qi shook his head, “The branch in the west of the city has just opened. I can go there to help. Rest is unnecessary for me. Miss, you should return to the Marquis’s Manor and take a good rest for a few days..”
