The old man continued to struggle and shouted, “Let go of me! I’m the miracle doctor who was invited into the palace by you. Is this how you treat distinguished guests?”

Su Yan looked at him and said, “Then why are you acting so sneaky?”

The old man hesitated for a moment before taking out the flower behind him and said, “I’m doing this to research the antidote for the plague.”

Su Yan paused. This flower was an orchid, the most precious flower in the entire Imperial Garden. She turned her head to look at the place where the old man had just come out. It was the orchid bush, the orchid which was originally known as the “Fairy of the Night” because of its luster under the moonlight was now beyond recognition.

“You plucked the orchid to cure the plague?” Su Yan had a look of disbelief.

The old man was questioned and said unhappily, “What orchid? This is shao zhi. It’s a kind of medicinal herb. I found it in an ancient book. This is a good thing to cure the plague.”

He shouted again, “Quickly get him to let go of me.”

Su Yan felt that the name shao zhi was somewhat familiar, but she could not remember where she had heard it before. She waved her hand doubtfully. As the old man was relieved, his attitude became even more arrogant as he said, “My judgment is definitely not wrong. This is shao zhi. With its seed, it can cure the plague. Unfortunately, it’s too little.”

He glanced at the orchid bushes. There were too few of them, so it was impossible to save a few people.

Su Yan could only let him go first. On the way back to the bedroom, she kept thinking where she had heard this name before.

Shao zhi...

It was very familiar but also very unfamiliar.

She was thinking about this question the entire way back to the bedroom. She did not realize she had reached her bedroom until Chu Tao called out to her, “Princess Consort.”

Only then did Su Yan come back to her senses. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the books on the bookshelf. She remembered where she had seen it before and quickly walked to the bookshelf. She took out a book and flipped it open. The white paper in it was revealed and there were many names of medicinal herbs recorded on it. Surprisingly, the one on the top was shao zhi.

This was the note that Liu Runyan had given her. It was still uncertain whether it was the cure for the plague. She could only wait until the next day to take it to the Imperial Hospital and ask.

Chu Tao walked in curiously and asked, “Princess Consort, what’s wrong?”

Su Yan shook her head and replied, “Nothing.” She then asked, “Where’s Gu Ruoyun?”

Chu Tao replied, “A eunuch just came to report that Guang Pingwang has gone to the military camp at the last minute and will come back late tonight.”

Su Yan nodded.

She woke up early the next morning and left after informing Gu Ruoyun.

She held the prescription in her hand and rushed to the Imperial Hospital. Who would have thought that the Imperial Hospital was even busier? The group of imperial physicians was either busy with the herbs in their hands or reading medical books since early in the morning. They were so busy that they were in high spirits.

Su Yan stood at the door for a long time, but she could not find a chance to enter.

A young eunuch noticed her and quickly came over to greet her. “Princess Consort Guang Pingwang, are you feeling unwell?”

He thought that Su Yan was here to see a doctor.

Su Yan shook her head and said, “I want to find an imperial physician to help me look at a prescription.”

The young eunuch was a little troubled. A middle-aged man wearing an imperial physician’s uniform walked over. He looked at Su Yan with a serious face and frowned. “What’s wrong?” fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

The young eunuch quickly bowed and said, “Left Court Judge, Princess Consort Guang Pingwang wants to find an imperial physician to help her look at a prescription.”

So this person was the left court judge.

Song Zhuo’s frown became tighter as he looked at Su Yan. He gave a perfunctory bow and said, “Princess consort Guang Pingwang, I’m afraid that the Imperial Hospital doesn’t have enough manpower now.”

His attitude could not be considered good, but Su Yan was not angry. She saw how busy the Imperial Hospital was.. She nodded and said, “This prescription might be related to the antidote to the plague, so I brought it here for you to take a look.”
