"Is the doctor you mentioned the Fan Zhi from Great Zhou, Doctor Fan?" As he spoke, Ru Yi, who had been silent up to that point, opened his mouth. He was a mage from the Magic Temple, holding a very revered status. Even Emperor Tangyuan showed him respect and courtesy. "Oh, are you saying that even Lord Ru Yi has heard of this man’s name?" Emperor Tangyuan couldn’t help but ask. "I’ve had the fortune of crossing paths with Doctor Fan once," Ru Yi was Xia Wenxu’s senior brother, and had always followed Si Ming Ji Yu before Xia Wenxu came of age, at the time when Fan Zhi was also still at the Medicine Emperor Pavilion. Ru Yi had quite an impression of Fan Zhi, remembering him as a doctor with exceptional medical skill who would occasionally have unique insights. Unlike the Medicine Emperor Pavilion’s blind pursuit of ancient medical skill, Doctor Fan, in Ru Yi’s view, was a doctor who knew how to adapt. He had also heard that Doctor Fan left the Medicine Emperor Pavilion due to some reasons, but his reputation in Great Zhou remained very good. Especially since he had joined an up-and-coming medical hall in Great Zhou, Little Ci’en Hall. Emperor Tangyuan was also aware of the incompatibility between magic and ancient medical skill. Ru Yi glanced at Yun Sheng a few times, recalling what Junior Brother Xia had previously said – that Empress Min would be assisted by a noble person, could it be that this noble person was the female physician from Great Zhou? "Your Majesty, why not let this young lady have a look? After all, neither magic nor ordinary ancient medical skill can determine the Empress’s illness at once. Perhaps Miss Yun, who is well-versed in both magic and ancient medical skill, could find out the reason. I do not wish to hide it from Your Majesty, but when Ru Yi entered the palace, Junior Brother Xia had already sent a verbal message that the Empress Min will have heaven’s fortune on her side, and a noble person will come from the southwest," Ru Yi spoke up for Yun Sheng. It wasn’t so much that Ru Yi had faith in Yun Sheng, but rather he had confidence in his own junior brother Xia Wenxu, who was born with Heavenly Vision and never spoke wrongly. Whatever Xia Wenxu said was as definitive as gold; it would surely come to pass. If the noble person came from the southwest, wouldn’t that be Great Zhou? With Magic Temple’s Xia Siming stating so, Second Prince Li Shao could only step aside, feeling frustrated. He couldn’t understand why Xia Siming, who always maintained a neutral stance, would help a person from Great Zhou this time. "Junior Si Ming really said that? Then the noble person must certainly be Divine Doctor Yun, I must have misunderstood earlier; please do not take it to heart, Divine Doctor. Please go in and see if you can cure the Empress’s illness. If you do, I will certainly reward you handsomely," Emperor Tangyuan said with a pleasant demeanor. "Your Majesty, if Yun Sheng cures the illness, I ask that you agree to two conditions from Yun Sheng. Rest assured, these two conditions are not excessive, and are certainly within what Your Majesty can accept," Yun Sheng spoke without haste to treat. She actually dared to bargain with Emperor Tangyuan? Inside Chao Lu Palace, there was a wave of astonishment. Xuan Meimei sneered to herself: Ignorant of life and death, she really thinks her medical skills are peerless? Keeping company with the king is like accompanying a tiger, and Emperor Tangyuan, in his final fury, might just kill Yun Sheng. Emperor Tangyuan felt a surge of anger as well, a mere commoner daring to negotiate with him. "Father Emperor, please agree to Divine Doctor Yun’s two conditions," Crown Prince Li Cheng promptly stepped forward to plead upon hearing that Yun Sheng was the predestined noble person for Empress Min. Emperor Tangyuan suppressed his anger, "What are the conditions?" "If I cure Empress Min, Your Majesty must grant me the position of Imperial Physician, and prove to the world that I, am not a swindler seeking fame," Yun Sheng said, casting a glance at Second Prince Li Shao. Yun Sheng was a woman, and she had all the "small flaws" that women possess – which is the penchant for holding grudges. Moreover, she has now offended the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, the medical examination seems to be out of reach, always remaining a doctor is not a solution either, to cure [the illness] by taking a shortcut, one might as well use connections to jump levels directly to become an Imperial Physician. As soon as Second Prince Li Shao heard it, he knew that Yun Sheng’s words were targeting his earlier accusations, he felt displeased in his heart, yet he could not openly rebuke her and could only brood silently on the side. "This matter is easy to handle, if you are able to cure an illness that even my Imperial Physicians can’t handle, your medical skill is naturally above that of an Imperial Physician. Well then, if you can cure Empress Min, I shall appoint you as the Great National Doctor of Tangyuan," Emperor Tangyuan spoke decisively, a ruler’s word is not a jest, as soon as he spoke, even Yun Sheng was somewhat stunned and flattered. Ru Yi was even more surprised on the side. From being a Doctor to a Great National Doctor, skipping right over the ranks of traveling doctor, Four-direction Wanderer Doctor, and Imperial Physician, such speed, surely no doctor on the entire continent has ever been this fast. This female physician with the surname Yun is truly ruthless. Xuan Meimei was also infuriated, she did not expect that rather than provoking the Emperor’s anger, Yun Sheng was actually about to be honored as a Great National Doctor? A nine-year-old Great National Doctor, this is truly defying the heavens. Yuan Bupo, however, had an expression full of worry; although he had heard his brother-in-law say before that Yun Sheng’s medical skill is peerless in this world, he had never actually witnessed it himself. The illness afflicting Empress Min is fierce and completely without traceable symptoms. If it was poison, then at last night’s banquet, he, Xuan Meimei and others were also present, Second Prince Li Shao did not make any moves to administer poison throughout the entire feast, nor did he have the opportunity. As for poisoning just Empress Min’s food separately, that chance is also very slim, because the dishes in the Imperial Palace all have dedicated Palace Attendants to taste them first. "Thank you, Your Majesty," Yun Sheng said with an indifferent expression, "Another condition of mine, if I cure Empress Min, proving my medical skill is indeed extraordinary, but just now the Second Prince openly slandered my master as a fraud. As the law states, the Crown Prince and commoners are subject to the same punishment. The Second Prince needs to pour me tea and apologize." The Chao Lu Palace suddenly became deathly silent. But everyone present inhaled a breath of cold air in their hearts. Apart from Li Shao and Empress Su, who were turning green with suppressed rage, everyone else’s hearts gave Yun Sheng a mental thumbs up. Although Li Shao is the most favored prince, in all of Tangyuan, who would dare to speak to him . "How presumptuous, a mere commoner dares to demand my royal son to apologize to you!" Empress Su’s face flushed red with anger, her precious son, she herself was not willing to let him pour water, yet such a lowly commoner actually put forth such a request. "Oh--" Yun Sheng dragged out a long note, facing the irate Empress Su, she merely raised an eyebrow, "Could it be that Empress Su feels that the life of Empress Min is not worth a mere apology from the Second Prince? The Second Prince is truly precious, his cup of tea apparently is more valuable than the life of Empress Min." Yuan Bupo and Ru Yi were sweating for Yun Sheng, wasn’t she being too bold? This was practically playing with fire. The most update n0vels are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥 Even Emperor Tangyuan showed a layer of anger on his face, he too felt that Empress Su and the Second Prince were making a mountain out of a molehill. "Father Emperor, Mother Empress’s life is in jeopardy, please reconsider," seeing this, Crown Prince Li Cheng and a group of Palace Attendants knelt down together to beg for mercy. Second Prince Li Shao clenched his teeth, and understood in his heart that today he was outplayed by Yun Sheng. With no choice left, he could only say resentfully, "If you can cure Empress Min, this prince will naturally pour tea and apologize. But, if you cannot cure her, do not blame this prince for holding you accountable."
