My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 491 - 333 The Empress Plan_2

He furrowed his brows and asked, "What kind of medical hall is the Sixth Princess opening?"

The attendant shook his head and said, "Specifically, your subordinate does not know…"

Moments later, at King An's Mansion.

King Shun figured out the whole situation from King An.

The Sixth Princess actually transformed her Princess Mansion into a medical hall, where not only the consultation fees are cheap and the medicine prices extremely low, but there are also more than a dozen Fourth Realm doctors treating various diseases...

This lineup surpasses even the free consultation places outside their mansion, not to mention the Imperial Hospital!

How much money must it cost to hire these people?

They know very well how expensive it is to hire a doctor; they could barely afford Low Realm doctors. As for so many High Realm doctors, even selling all they had wouldn't be enough.

Not to mention the prices of the medicinal herbs at her place, which are far lower than other medical halls.

Where did she get so much silver...

Oh, it was donated by the Medical School.

These doctors not only donated silver but also personally pitched in to help her.

How are they supposed to compete now?

It's said that the top scholar from Daxia also possesses miraculous medical skills that even Fourth Realm doctors revere.

Gaining the populace's favor through free consultations to gain the recognition of the courtiers is completely impossible now.

They can't continue this, throwing money like this would truly lead them to ruin.

They still need to target King Sheng.

The Sixth Princess is certainly formidable, but King Sheng himself has too many flaws.

Fortunately, the one vying for the position against them is King Sheng. If the Sixth Princess were a man with no flaws and so much support, they would have no hope...

...

Princess Mansion.

Usually not very lively, today, the Princess Mansion saw a constant stream of common people coming and going.

"Truly a divine doctor, after a short massage, my back no longer aches, my legs don't hurt, and I feel energized walking…"

"Indeed, the one massaging you is the chief physician of the Bones Hall, a Fourth Realm doctor. It's said that his consultation fee alone is ten taels. If it wasn't for the Sixth Princess, we would never have the chance to speak with such a person in our lifetime…"

"Princess really cares about us common folk, not only raising funds to help us see a doctor but even converting her own home into a medical hall. None of the princes have done as much as she has."

"Even these herbs were personally selected for me by the Sixth Princess."

The Sixth Princess is truly both kind and beautiful. Who knows who will be fortunate enough to marry her in the future…"

Speaking of King Sheng, the common people's opinions vary.

He indeed has done some good for the people, but he's also committed many misdeeds before. Nowadays, all these actions seem merely a ploy for the throne, done deliberately for others to see.

However, when it comes to the Sixth Princess, who wouldn't praise her for being kind and beautiful?

Long before the princes vied for the throne, she often personally distributed porridge and aided the poor. Every winter, she even built shelters outside the city to accommodate beggars. If the common people had grievances with nowhere to turn, she would help redress their injustices. Many have been beneficiaries of her kindness.

Compared to the princes, the Sixth Princess undoubtedly has more popular support.

Unfortunately, she is a woman, and Zhao Country has not seen a female ruler in a long time...

Princess Mansion, within a small courtyard.

Yiren was chopping vegetables, the Sixth Princess was tending the fire, and Li Nuo was in charge of cooking.

Although the Medical College had been successfully established, it would take at least three years to truly benefit the common people.

Unlike the four princes, directly offering free consultations, visible and immediately beneficial to the public, was the most immediate method.

While they had longer-term plans, they also had to consider the present.

Renting or purchasing land required a large sum of silver, which the Sixth Princess deemed unnecessary to spend. She simply dedicated the Princess Mansion for the cause, leaving one courtyard for the servants to reside in, while she moved in with Li Nuo and Yiren.

Helping the Sixth Princess compete for the throne was undoubtedly more challenging than aiding King Sheng.

The four princes were appointed successors by the Emperor of Zhao Country.

But that didn't mean she had no right to compete.

In fact, according to the rules of Zhao Country, any adult prince or princess had the right to inherit the throne.

However, the Prince Regent appointed by the Emperor held certain advantages in governance, which allowed them to more easily build achievements and attract court official support, leaving others virtually unable to compete.

Some courtiers who didn't want to get involved in the power struggle or were dissatisfied with the Prince Regent would choose other candidates to express their stance.

Unlike Daxia, the Emperor of Zhao Country was chosen not by the previous ruler, but by courtiers of Standard Fifth Rank and above.

Of course, courtiers couldn't just choose anyone; their choices were limited to the adult children of the Emperor.

The emperors of Zhao Country throughout history have always acknowledged the candidates chosen by the courtiers.

However, every king has their preferences, and generally, before the election, they would set a few Prince Regents. The courtiers would follow the Emperor's wishes and select from these candidates.

To ascend to power, one must garner enough official support.

These princes going to great lengths to aid the commoners were not truly for the public but to gain the support of neutral courtiers.

Each prince has officials loyal to them.

These courtiers, who had their interests tied to them, would undoubtedly vote for them.

Nonetheless, such courtiers were not numerous. Most courtiers, aiming to avoid the succession struggle, would not blatantly take sides since the vote was anonymous, and no one would know who they specifically voted for.

If ascension was the ultimate goal, what Li Nuo had done previously for the Fourth Prince was essentially meaningless.
