I hurried over and said, "I have taught Doctor Fan and his team how to collect the smallpox vaccine, so I will go back to the capital to take a look. What is going on with your Imperial Medical Office? Why is it closed? Where are the imperial doctors?"

Doctor Sun turned sideways and said, "Come in and we'll talk."

I also walked in sideways.

Doctor Sun said as he walked, "Since those two doctors were infected with the virus, some people in our Imperial Medical Office have also developed smallpox symptoms. Although they have been taking medicine, the effect is not very obvious. Fortunately, the two doctors brought back the cowpox vaccine the day before yesterday. After injecting the infected doctors, the symptoms have improved significantly. So yesterday I asked the two doctors to inject the vaccine to dozens of people in the Imperial Medical Office. Let them rest at home for the next few days and observe their symptoms. They can return to the palace to do their work when they are fine."

I said, "No wonder the Imperial Physician's Mansion is so quiet. It turns out you are the only one left here."

Doctor Sun sighed and said, "Someone has to guard this imperial physician's residence. If any of the empresses has a headache or a fever, it won't do if there's no one to treat them."

I nodded and said, "You are such a dedicated employee. You are the best candidate for the outstanding employee award at the end of the year."

Doctor Sun rolled his eyes at me and said, "You are talking nonsense again. Oh, by the way, after the two doctors came back, they kept holding me and thanking me for not only saving them but also curing the pockmarks on their faces. They almost knelt down in front of me. I'm afraid you, a little devil, did this again?"

I suppressed my laughter and said, "When people thank you, just accept it. It's not like you can't afford it anyway."

Doctor Sun's face turned serious and he said unhappily, "I'm talking to you about serious matters. Stop smiling and laughing. You're not serious at all."

"Oh." My eyes rolled around, still not serious.

Doctor Sun asked, "Did you really cure that pockmarked skin?"

I nodded and said, "Of course it's true. I also gave the recipe to Fan Chunlai, and the Fan family made this jade cream and sold it."

Doctor Sun...

Doctor Sun sighed and said, "That's really your style, Ah Man."

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've told Doctor Fan that this is the prescription you gave me. He will definitely come to thank you in the future."

Doctor Sun felt even more worried.

He rolled his eyes at me and said, "Don't always use my name to do these things. If anything goes wrong, I won't forgive you."

I smiled and said, "I am very confident in my recipe. Nothing will go wrong."

Doctor Sun pointed at me and said, "You, do you know that a prescription like this is worth a fortune? How can you give it away so easily?"

I said, "I think Mrs. Fan is a good person and is willing to endure hardships, so I gave the prescription to her. Doctor Sun, please don't be jealous. If I have any better prescriptions, I will give them to you first."

Doctor Sun blushed and said, "Who is jealous? Don't talk nonsense. I'm just afraid that the kid from the Fan family will take the prescription and do something bad, and seek ill-gotten gains."

I said, "If they use the recipe to do something bad, I will never forgive them."

Imperial Physician Sun took me into the Imperial Physician's Mansion. The entire mansion was empty and gloomy, like a ghost town.

I gathered my cloak and said, "You are the only one here, and there is not even a fire pit. Aren't you cold?"

Doctor Sun glanced at me and said, "You are the only one who cares whether I am cold or not. The ministers were arguing at the court this morning, saying that I am incompetent. If I don't come up with a good way to treat smallpox, then your majesty will dismiss me and confiscate my house."

I was shocked and asked quickly, "Who is so vicious that they dare to say that to you? You are busy every day developing drugs to resist this smallpox epidemic. Are they blind?"

Imperial Physician Sun smiled helplessly and said, "They are not blind, but blind in their hearts. As long as you drive me out of office and take control of the Imperial Physician Office, Your Majesty will not stop them from doing evil."

I understood immediately and said, "Is it that Gui guy who is causing trouble again?"

Doctor Sun sighed and said, "Grand Tutor Gui is a first-rank official, and he has many followers in the court. Your Majesty can't do anything to him. Fortunately, the Crown Prince said a lot of good things for me in the palace today, so I didn't get drowned by their saliva. Otherwise, you can't see me now."

I slammed my fist on the table and said angrily, "This guy surnamed Gui is too abominable."

Doctor Sun saw a dent on the tabletop from my hammering, and couldn't help but say distressedly, "Why are you hammering the table? Look, you're almost breaking the table."

I rolled my eyes at him and said unhappily, "Come on, you're almost losing your position as the head of the Imperial Medical Office, and you still care whether this table is broken or not."

Doctor Sun said dissatisfiedly: "Look at what you said. As long as I am in office, I have to maintain every brick and tile of this Imperial Physician's Office. Even if I abdicate in the future, I will be able to live up to my conscience."

It was a bit difficult to talk to this stubborn old man, so I had to say, "I'm relieved to see that you're okay. I want to go to Minister Du's mansion. Do you have any other instructions?"

Doctor Sun thought for a moment and said, "Besides the Jade Face Cream, do you have any other unique recipes?"

I knew that Imperial Doctor Sun was waiting for this. He said he wasn't jealous, but now he opened his mouth right away.

I looked at Doctor Sun's envious expression and couldn't help but laugh. I said, "It's not that I don't have it, but I don't know if you can use it."

Doctor Sun's eyes lit up and he said, "I knew you were hiding something. Hurry up, tell me what the prescription is."

I said, "I have removed the pockmarks, but there are still some red spots on my face. My recipe can lighten these red spots and make my face smoother."

When Doctor Sun heard this, he was so excited that his beard stood up. He said in a trembling voice, "This prescription is great. We no longer have to worry about Jishengtang suppressing our Huichuntang."

"Bring me a pen and I'll write the prescription for you," I said.

Doctor Sun not only brought me a pen, he also ground the ink for me, and his attitude was as respectful as that of an elementary school student.

I picked up the pen and realized that there were many traditional Chinese characters that I didn't know, so I handed the pen to Doctor Sun and said, "I'll read it and you write it."

Doctor Sun took the pen respectfully. I read out a word and he wrote it down. After he finished writing, he handed it to me to check if there were any mistakes.

I took it and said, "This recipe also requires adding silver charcoal powder, not too much. It is best to add some honey before mixing the paste to increase the moisturizing effect."

Doctor Sun wrote it down carefully and said, "I've remembered it. Are there any other precautions?"

I said, "Let's call this cream Beauty Cream. Apply it on your face every night before going to bed. You only need to leave it on for about a quarter of an hour. Don't leave it on for too long. Otherwise, it will not only fail to moisturize and remove spots, but will also cause your skin to lack water, become drier, and even cause it to peel."

Doctor Sun wrote it down carefully again and said, "Okay, I've written it down. Is there anything else?"
