My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived-Chapter 26 - Calculations in the Dark

There’s no need to check.”

“Su Yuan, it’s one thing that we know each other, but you still have to check.

That’s the only way to ensure fairness,” Liu Shuxin said sternly.

Left with no choice, Su Yuan had to call the chief doctor to take a look.

“Reporting to the Princely Heir, Miss Liu’s herbs are extremely complicated, but she got them all right.

It’s rare to see such medical skill in someone her age,” the old doctor remarked while stroking his beard and sighing continuously.

“I told you, Miss Liu was praised by the Emperor, how could she be ordinary?

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

This kind of assessment is too simple for her.”

“Miss Liu will certainly win first place in this competition.

I don’t have such high demands, being ranked in the top ten and then entering Guangming Hall as a doctor would suffice for me.”

The other doctors nearby couldn’t help but whisper among themselves again.

“Su Yuan, why don’t you have this chief doctor check my sister next to me?

If there’s any problem, could you perhaps make some allowances, considering it’s not easy for a woman to become a doctor…”

She lowered her voice, continuing to act coyly with Su Yuan.

Su Yuan’s scrutinizing gaze once again fell on Chu Baihan.

Chu Baihan furrowed her brows slightly.

It seemed like Liu Shuxin wanted to help her, but she still felt somewhat uneasy about accepting this kindness.

She looked solemn, speaking calmly, “Miss Liu, thank you for your kindness, but I would still like to pass the assessment on my own.

Chief doctor, please proceed.”

The chief doctor came over, picked up the herbs from the bag and glanced at the paper on the table.

“She got them all right…”

As he spoke, many people present turned their attention to him.

Their faces filled with skepticism and disbelief.

“It’s within our expectations that Miss Liu got them all right, but how did that woman do it?”

“Exactly, having studied medicine for over twenty years as a man, I got one wrong just now, how could she get them all right!”

“Exactly, how is that possible…

”

“Cough,—” the old doctor suddenly coughed, “However, the herbs she chose are all extremely simple.

Anyone who has studied a bit of medicine would hardly make a mistake.”

“That explains it, I was saying, how could a woman have such great medical skills?

Turns out she was rigging it.”

“Alas, it’s the same assessment, how can she choose such simple herbs?

It’s not fair!”

Hearing what the people around were saying, Su Yuan’s expression also soured.

He glared at Chu Baihan, then said with a warning tone, “The assessments at Guangming Hall always emphasize fairness.

We want to select doctors who truly have skills and knowledge.

If you want to continue, put away your tricks!”

Chu Baihan was amused by his words.

So he meant to say, she passed because she purposely chose this simple bag of herbs?

“Princely Heir, these medicine bags were prepared by your people at Guangming Hall.

Clearly, it’s your own unfair distribution of materials, how can you blame me?” she retorted sarcastically.

“You…

”

Not expecting to be rebuked by a person he deemed unworthy, Su Yuan turned quite angry.

“Su Yuan, everyone is watching.

Could you, for Shuxin’s sake, not get angry with this sister?” Liu Shuxin quickly tugged at Su Yuan’s sleeve, whispering.

Despite having a face as dark as thunder, upon hearing Liu Shuxin’s words, Su Yuan snorted coldly at Chu Baihan, “Fine, for Shuxin’s sake, I’ll let you off this time.

Next time, if you try to cheat in the assessment, I won’t be so lenient!”

After speaking, he left with his sleeves flapping.

“Sister, don’t be mad, Su Yuan is just trying to ensure fairness in the competition,” Liu Shuxin walked up to Chu Baihan, holding her hand, apologizing.

“I’m not angry,” Chu Baihan spoke indifferently.

She naturally wasn’t angry because she wasn’t about to get upset with a beast.

“Alright, today twenty people passed the assessment.

Tomorrow, you will come to Guangming Hall for the second assessment,” Su Qiong’s voice came through again.

After bidding farewell to Liu Shuxin, Chu Baihan disregarded the stares and quickly left.

“Princess Consort, those people are too much, how could they doubt you?” Ruolan hurried to Chu Baihan’s side, indignantly said.

They had a clear view of everything that happened inside Guangming Hall, and she felt very indignant on behalf of the Princess Consort.

“That is the Su Family’s territory, and we want to continue in the competition, so we have to endure for now,” Chu Baihan patiently consoled her.

“But Miss Liu is really nice; she was defending you the whole time,” Ruolan said with a smile, her eyes twinkling, her tone full of gratitude towards Liu Shuxin.

Chu Baihan paused slightly, asking in a strange tone, “Do you really think Miss Liu is that nice?”

“Yes.

Princess Consort, is there a problem?” Ruolan asked, puzzled.

Chu Baihan didn’t answer, just gently shook her head.

Liu Shuxin seemed lively and purely kind, but she felt uneasy in her heart.

She always felt that her kindness was too obvious, almost as if she had an ulterior motive.

Their figures receded further and further away…

As they turned the corner and left, several figures appeared in the position they had just been standing.

“Miss, are you sure that woman really is the Princess Consort?”

“Hmm,” Liu Shuxin played with a bracelet in her hand, disgust in her tone as she responded.

She looked up in the direction where Chu Baihan had left, her eyes slowly turning from mocking to disdainful.
