Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World-Chapter 171 - 172: The Number One Divine Doctor Under Heaven

Chapter 171: Chapter 172: The Number One Divine Doctor Under Heaven

Under the stunned gazes of everyone present, the eunuch walked in holding the Imperial Decree, with Pei Huaian following close behind.

“Who is Shao He?” The eunuch scanned the crowd, his gaze falling on the woman about to fight.

“Ahem… hurry and come forward to receive the decree,” Pei Huaian, seeing the person who had not yet reacted, coughed twice with his fist to his mouth as a reminder.

Only then did Shao He come to her senses, she put down her sleeve and walked over, kneeling on the ground, “Commoner girl, Shao He, receives the decree.”

“By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Hearing of the intelligence and adeptness of Lady Shao, and her superior medical skills, and in recognition of her successful treatment of the Crown Prince, she is hereby appointed ‘The Number One Divine Doctor Under Heaven’ and awarded a Gold Plaque, this I decree!” The eunuch read out the decree with a raised voice.

Pei Huaian wore a smile on his face as he watched the girl kneeling on the ground in a daze, “What’s the matter? Stunned? Hurry up and receive the decree.”

“Ah… Thank you, Your Majesty, for Your great kindness,” Shao He, coming back to her senses, quickly kowtowed and received the Imperial Decree.

Pei Huaian nodded slightly to signal her to stand up, then turned and took out a bag of silver, tossing it to the junior eunuch, “For the trouble of making this trip, keep this to buy some tea.”

“Many thanks to the Fifth Prince, many thanks to the Fifth Prince,” the eunuch beamed, happily taking the silver and leaving.

The commoners, seeing the Gold Plaque, could not help but cheer. This time, no one dared to accuse her of using demon art, since even the Emperor had recognized her as a Divine Doctor.

And those who had been ready to start a fight all threw down their wooden sticks and one by one slipped away when no one was paying attention.

Only Sun Shaoyuan was left.

Pei Huaian, noticing the clinic was in a mess, then glanced at Sun Shaoyuan and Chu Yu standing to one side, and feigned curiosity as he asked, “Are you planning to rebuild the clinic?”

Sun Shaoyuan and Chu Yu, faces darkened, hadn’t expected things to turn out this way and were at a loss for how to end the scene.

With a cold smile and a slight lift of her eyebrows, Shao He said, “Does Young Master Sun not have anything to say?”

“I have other matters to attend to. I’m leaving first,” Sun Shaoyuan, seeing the situation turning sour, prepared to make a getaway.

Chu Yu was also turning around to leave.

Ah Mo drew his long sword and blocked their way, “Stop right there!”

Sun Shaoyuan and Chu Yu turned back, looking at Shao He with sinister stares, as if they wanted to tear her to shreds.

Shao He crossed her arms and laughed, “Just now, Young Master Sun was swearing that he absolutely wouldn’t let me take a single step out of the clinic today.”

“I, I was just, those were just words spoken in anger!” Sun Shaoyuan blustered, glaring at Shao He as he roared.

“Oh, is that so?” Shao He smirked, her eyes dark, yet carrying an icy chill of deadly seriousness.

“Since it’s all just a misunderstanding, let’s just forget about it,” Sun Shaoyuan simply wanted to leave this troublesome place quickly. He had no idea the woman before him could be so formidable to even have the Emperor issue a decree to specifically appoint her as The Number One Divine Doctor Under Heaven.

He dared not offend someone endorsed by the Emperor, for fear of being accused of challenging the Emperor’s authority.

“Thinking you can just smash the place up and leave like that? Where in the world is it so easy?”

Shao He turned to look at Pei Huaian, “I want to bring a lawsuit against these two for smashing up my clinic.”

“I didn’t! I was just trying to get to the bottom of the truth. I didn’t lay a hand on anything. Everything was his doing, it has nothing to do with me,” Chu Yu quickly jumped in to explain, afraid of being implicated.

After hearing this, Sun Shaoyuan, fuming, pointed at Chu Yu and cursed, “If it weren’t for listening to your words, why would I have smashed up the place? You, Marquis, are now trying to distance yourself—isn’t it a bit too late for that?”

If it weren’t for Chu Yu fanning the flames beside him, how would he have impulsively caused such havoc? Sun Shaoyuan pushed all the blame onto Chu Yu.

Chu Yu was struck speechless and had no retort.

“I don’t care whether or not you’re the one who smashed it, but if I let you leave so easily today, wouldn’t that mean anyone could come and make trouble in the future. So, pay up!”

“I won’t pay, why should I pay?” Sun Shaoyuan stubbornly refused to pay. Although he was the Sun Family’s only direct heir, he only received a monthly stipend of about a dozen silver taels, which was nowhere near enough to cover the damage to the clinic.

Shao He crossed her arms, exuding a commanding presence, well aware they would not pay up.

“Please, Fifth Prince, have these two sent to the Yamen,” she requested.

“No problem, Ah Mo, do as Doctor Shao says, and don’t forget to give a clear account of the events here,” Pei Huaian instructed Ah Mo.

“As commanded.”

“No, I’ll pay, I’ll pay!” Sun Shaoyuan, hearing mention of being taken to the authorities, was instantly scared.

“Too late,” Shao He curved her lips, a mocking smile emerging. Even if they were sent to the Yamen, they would still have to pay.

Pei Huaian waved his hand. As Ah Mo stepped forward to grab them, Chu Yu suddenly spoke out, “I have nothing to do with this matter, why are you arresting me?”

“Marquis, you can’t even handle your own task well; do you still intend to take over the Metropolitan Governor’s duties here?” Pei Huaian’s words dripped with sarcasm.

He had no high opinion of Chu Yu, and the resentment from the last incident compounded his disdain.

“I…”

“Marquis, there’s no need for further words. If you have any issues, it’s better to keep them for the Yamen. There will be people there who will listen to what you have to say,” Pei Huaian humiliated him thoroughly, leaving Chu Yu unable to save face and he had no choice but to follow Ah Mo out.

The onlooking public outside the clinic discussed the Gold Plaque fervently.

“I had no idea Doctor Shao’s medical skills were so formidable to have the Crown Prince stand again.”

“Indeed, no one can compare to Doctor Shao’s medical expertise.”

“That’s true. She’s probably even more skilled than the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau.”

The surrounding people praised Shao He’s medical expertise, affirming that she was truly deserving of the title of Divine Doctor.
