He patted Su Xiaoxiao’s shoulder excitedly. “Little Su, I didn’t misjudge you.
You’re indeed loyal!”
Physician Fu’s face darkened. “If you want to speak, speak. Don’t touch my disciple! ‘
Although the others were not the boss, they would receive dividends twice at the end of each year.
Everyone was stunned.
Ying’er and Yunxiu were not experienced in the world, but the Cao couple, Ah Zhong, and Litttle Weizi had worked for many bosses.
No boss would give their servants dividends.
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “There are no servants in the Number One Hall, only workers. Everyone, work hard. The Number One Hall won’t treat you badly.”
Chef Cao was a seven-foot-tall man. He was so excited that he wiped his tears.
“It’s right to follow the boss!”
Madam Yang was also very excited.
The boss had already given them a higher salary than elsewhere. If they added the dividends, they could live a good life!
She would bring her son over from the countryside next year!
Everyone was very happy. Even Ah Zhong, who was not good with words, downed a cup of wine for the first time.
Then, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t allow him to send her into the palace.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I reject your intention to drink and drive!”
As long as Su MO was in the capital, he would arrange a carriage for Su Xiaoxiao. He usually came personally. Today, he had to deal with Imperial Physician Hu, so he arranged for another carriage to come.
Su Xiaoxiao and Imperial Physician Fu entered the palace in a carriage.
On the way to the Yongshou Palace, the two of them bumped into a few imperial physicians.
They had just come out of the woodshed and already knew what Hu Jiusheng had done. They also found out that Physician Su’s master was Imperial Physician Fu’s son, Fu Sheng.
“Physician Su, Physician Fu…
Imperial Physician Zhu took the lead and greeted the two of them.
The few of them were a little embarrassed.
They had questioned the little physician many times, but reality proved that her medical skills were not fake.
In addition, they were holding some medical books and handwritten notes that Imperial Physician Fu had left behind.
They did not know how to deal with it.
The few of them exchanged glances. Imperial Physician Zhu said, “Doctor Fu, these books belong to your father. They should be returned to their rightful owner.”
A trace of reluctance flashed across everyone’s eyes.
Physician Fu flipped through the medical books with a complicated expression. They were his father’s notes.
He could almost imagine how his father had recorded his hard work on lonely nights.
His eyes burned.
But he shook his head and said, “There’s no need. Take them.”
Everyone looked at him in shock.
“My concept of treatment is different from Father’s. Father’s method might not be suitable for me.”
He actually nad a tew medical cases lett benlnd Dy ms tatner. It was not mucn. If it were ten years ago, he might have needed them urgently.
But now, he had already found his own medical path.
Looking at Physician Fu and Su Xiaoxiao’s departing backs in daze, the imperial physicians came back to their senses for a long time.
They had worked with Imperial Physician Fu before and had heard him mention his son more than once.
“Sigh, Sheng’er’s aptitude is not as good as Jiusheng’s. He’s slow in recognizing medicinal herbs and acupoints. I’ve taught him the medical theory in the medical books once, and Jiusheng has learned it. Sheng’er always forgets…”
Imperial Physician Fu’s words were still vivid in their minds.
Everyone sighed.
Imperial Physician Fu wanted to teach his son, but unfortunately, he met the smarter Hu Jiusheng.
Perhaps Imperial Physician Fu did not expect it himself. His son, who was not thought highly of… was a real divine doctor.
After Physician Fu finished his acupuncture for the Empress Dowager, she was much better.
The Empress Dowager looked at Physician Fu and said slowly, “I remember that your father was not good at acupuncture. Who did you acknowledge as your master after leaving the capital?”
Physician Fu shook his head. “No. The medical case my father left behind gave me a lot of inspiration.”
The Empress Dowager waved her hand. “Alright, your father’s hard work has been taken by Hu Jiusheng. What can he leave for you?
Fu Sheng had figured it out himself.
“Are you willing to come to the Imperial Hospital?” The Empress Dowager extended an olive branch to Fu Sheng.
This was a supreme honor to anyone.
However, after pondering for a moment, Fu Sheng stood up and cupped his hands. “Thank you for your kindness, Empress Dowager. I… am unwilling to enter the palace.”
After acupuncture for the Empress Dowager, Fu Sheng left for the medical center while Su Xiaoxiao continued to stay in the palace.
There was also another patient, Emperor Jing Xuan.
Emperor Jing Xuan developed a low fever at night and woke up for a while in the morning.
According to Su Xiaoxiao’s instructions, Eunuch Fu gave Emperor Jingxuan two pills. Emperor Jingxuan’s low fever subsided and he fell asleep again.
“He didn’t eat anything. Will something happen?” Eunuch Fu asked worriedly.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Emperor Jing Xuan and said, “Eunuch Fu, please guard outside and don’t let anyone in.”
“Okay.”
Eunuch Fu trusted Su Xiaoxiao and left.
Su Xiaoxiao opened the first aid kit, took out a drip, and hung it up for Emperor Jing Xuan.
Emperor Jing Xuan could not eat, so she had to nourish him.
While sitting by the bed and waiting, Su Xiaoxiao took out the small black medicine bottle.
It had been a few days, but she still had not figured out what illness this was for.
“I can’t open it even if I try…”
After coming out of the Purple Mansion Hall, Su Xiaoxiao asked Eunuch Fu if the Empress was in Kunning Palace.
“She should be here at this time,” Eunuch Fu said. “Doctor Su, do you want to see the Empress? I’ll get someone to lead the way for you.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “No need. I Imow how to get there.”
She had sent Princess Jingning back from the Purple Mansion Hall last night.
The Empress was looking at the accounts when she heard someone report that Physician Su was here. She put down the account book in her hand. “Let her in.”
“Why are you looking for me?” the Empress asked Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded honestly.
“Tell me, is it about His Majesty?
Su Xiaoxiao nodded again.
“What happened to His Majesty?
“He’s fine,” Su Xiaoxiao said as she took out a piece of paper from her pouch. “This is the bill for the Purple Mansion Hall and Yongshou Palace. Please pay the consultation fee, Your Majesty.”
The Empress was speechless.
Xiao Zhonghua and the minister of the Dali Temple were extremely efficient.
In the morning, Hu Jiusheng was imprisoned. In the afternoon, the officials of the Dali Temple came to investigate the Benevolence Hall.
“What are you doing?!”
Hu Biyun jumped down from the carriage.
She had not been feeling well recently and had taken two days off from school. It was only then that she found out that something had happened to her father and Second Uncle.
She quickly stepped forward and blocked the door of the Benevolence Hall. She looked coldly at the officials who were planning to stick seals on the door. “Who allowed you to be impudent in the Benevolence Hall!”
The leader of the officials said unsmilingly, “This is an order from the minister of the Dali Temple. We have been ordered to investigate Benevolence Hall. Please don’t obstruct us from handling the case.”
Hu Biyun said sternly, “My father and my second uncle were wronged! They were framed! Instead of catching the real culprit, you came here to wrongly accuse a good person! Is this how your Dali Temple handles cases?”
The commoners surrounded them.
An auntie tugged at the young man beside her in confusion. “What happened to
Benevolence Hall?”
The young man said, “Benevolence Hall tried to kill the current emperor. The boss has been sentenced to prison and it seems he will be executed!” “What about the Court Commissioner?” an old man asked.
“He’s involved too!” the young man said angrily. “It’s a capital crime to murder His Majesty. The Hu family is finished this time!”
Hu Biyun pointed at his nose and said, “Nonsense! My father and my second uncle didn’t do such a thing!”
