Song Zhou’s gaze froze as he looked at the crumpled piece of paper in her hand. It looked as if she had picked it up somewhere. His expression instantly turned ugly. He wanted to berate her, but when he thought of Guang Pingwang, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
“Princess Consort, leave this plague to us. You should go back and serve Guang Pingwang well. There’s no need for you to worry about it.”
Su Yan also frowned. The left court judge’s tone was full of ridicule. This attitude had upset Su Yan. “The plague is a serious matter for the entire Imperial Kingdom. How can I back off?”
The left court judge’s expression became more disdainful. He said, “As a woman, Princess Consort should take care of your husband and raise your children well. When has it ever been a woman’s turn to interfere in matters of the world?”
After saying that, he left, leaving behind Su Yan with an ugly expression and a young eunuch who did not know what to do.
Su Yan did not vent her anger and waved him off.
The young eunuch left as if he was relieved of a heavy burden.
“Little Girl, what are you doing here?” The dirty old man suddenly came out from a corner and asked.
Su Yan was shocked. When she saw the old man, she said in surprise, “Are you really a miracle doctor who was invited into the palace?”
The old man looked unhappy again. This girl really didn’t know how to speak. He said angrily, “Would an old man like me lie to you?” free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎
Su Yan smiled brightly. She thought of something and handed over the prescription in her hand. She said, “Miracle Doctor, this is a prescription that I obtained previously. It has Shao Zhi which you mentioned yesterday. Please take a look.”
When the old man heard Shao Zhi, he quickly took the prescription over.
Before Su Yan had noticed it, the prescription had already reached the old man’s hands.
He looked at the prescription up and down several times. Deep thoughts and excitements could be seen on his face now and then. After a long while, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Su Yan. He asked seriously, “Where did you get this prescription?”
Su Yan did not reveal Liu Runyan’s identity. She only said that a mysterious person gave it to her.
The old man was so excited that his face turned red. He pulled Su Yan and walked into the Imperial Hospital. He knew his limits and did not touch Su Yan’s arm. He only used two fingers to pinch her sleeve.
Su Yan looked at the two black fingerprints that appeared on her sleeve. She tried pulling her hand out but failed. Since it had become dirty, she just let him pull it.
The people in the Imperial Hospital did not notice them. The old man brought Su Yan to a corner.
In front of them was a small square table. The table was obviously built temporarily with some stones. On the table were a few medicinal herbs and an old book.
Compared to the other imperial physicians’ spacious courtyard, wide desks, and an entire bookshelf of books, it looked very shabby.
Su Yan raised her eyebrows and asked, “Are you really a miracle doctor who was invited in?”
The old man also looked a little embarrassed and muttered, “These imperial physicians have eyes that have grown to the sky. Seeing that I’m a dirty old man, they don’t like me. They were clearly the ones who posted the imperial proclamation to get us into the palace.”
Su Yan had just witnessed the snobbery of the left court judge, so she nodded in agreement.
This made the old man very happy. He laughed heartily and said, “You are not bad. You suit my taste. In the future, we will be friends despite the difference in age. You can just call me Old Ma.”
This act of familiarity made Su Yan speechless. Fortunately, he did not ask her to call him Brother Ma.
After the old man finished joking, his expression became serious. He picked up the prescription and compared it with the half-missing prescription recorded in the ancient book.
The page that recorded the prescription in the ancient book was missing half a page. Comparing it with the note that Su Yan gave him, the first half of the content was exactly the same. This result made Old Ma filled with joy. He took out the shao zhi that he “stole” yesterday and carefully took down a seed.. The only thing that could be used to make into medicine was the seed on its root.
