Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

As soon as Doctor Wen left, Jiang Cheng pushed the door open and walked in stealthily.

He looked around and began to search on Doctor Wen's desk, and finally found the prescription in the book.

Jiang Cheng looked at each medicinal ingredient carefully and was sure that it was definitely the prescription.

He touched the prescription, a smile on his face. "This is what they call searching for something without effort, yet finding it without any effort. With such a good opportunity, why would you search day and night for it? Now I can finally report to Concubine Hua."

Before Jiang Cheng left, he did not forget to put everything on Doctor Wen's desk back to its original place. After making sure that he would not be discovered, he quietly left.

A black figure vaguely flashed by the large pillar at the door. After seeing Jiang Cheng leave, the figure went into the room again to check, confirmed that the plan had been completed, and then left.

Yangxindian

Concubine Hua led the two brothers Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen into the Yangxin Palace proudly, like a victorious rooster.

The Emperor was somewhat surprised. He looked at Concubine Hua and asked, "Has this prescription really been developed?"

Hua Fei nodded and smiled, "Of course. I've been working tirelessly these days, reading medical books every day and discussing it with the two imperial physicians. Only then did we finalize the prescription."

After saying that, Concubine Hua handed the prescription in her hand to Su Peisheng.

Concubine Hua did not wear any makeup today and her face looked yellow, which indeed made her look a little haggard.

"I see that Your Majesty is so worried about the epidemic that he can't eat or sleep well. I want to share your worries."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, looking obviously unconvinced.

He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for your hard work, Concubine Hua." He then turned his gaze to Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen, "Have you two verified this recipe?"

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen were eager to take credit, so they simply tested the prescription on a palace maid who had contracted an epidemic.

Seeing that his condition had improved the next day, he hurried to report to the emperor, fearing that Doctor Wen would be the first to develop a prescription and beat him to it.

The two men kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have already had the palace maids who were infected with the epidemic verify it and found that the patient is indeed getting better."

Although the emperor was somewhat unhappy that Nian Gengyao and his party discovered that this was a prescription, he was not in a position to say anything since it was a good thing that benefited the country and the people.

"In that case, if this prescription is indeed useful, I will promote you to the position of Chief Judge of the Imperial Hospital. Since Concubine Hua has made great contributions by reading medical books every day, she will be promoted to Concubine Hua!"

Hua Fei was about to express her gratitude when she was stopped by a voice outside the door.

"Huang father, wait a minute."

The prince and Doctor Wen also arrived, and they both bowed deeply to the emperor.

"Your son (a humble official) pays his respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

The Emperor looked the two men over and said calmly, "Stand up. I wonder why the Crown Prince has brought the imperial physician here?"

The Crown Prince stood up and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Father Your Majesty. I came here to report that Doctor Wen has developed a prescription to treat the epidemic, and it has already cured people."

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen were very nervous after hearing this. Jiang Cheng's mind worked quickly, and he immediately turned the tables. He bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, if that's the case, then I also have something to report. When I was developing the prescription, Doctor Wen always came to my place. Your Majesty, please compare the two prescriptions carefully."

The prince sneered, his words rather sarcastic: "Whatever Imperial Doctor Jiang says is true. I could also say that when Imperial Doctor Wen was developing the prescription, you were also there. Why don't you just say that you copied it from him?"

Jiang Shen also stood up and said, "Your Highness, this is wrong. Everything should be based on a first come, first served basis. This recipe was clearly developed by the two of us brothers. Even if you are the Crown Prince, you cannot compete for someone else's hard work!"

Concubine Hua didn't know that the two brothers' prescriptions were stolen from Doctor Wen. She looked at the prince with a playful tone and said:

"Oh, Your Highness, even though you're young, it's not quite right to be so ostentatious, is it? The Emperor is still here. Is it now your turn to make the decisions in the Yangxin Palace?"

The quarrel between the two groups gave the emperor a headache. He frowned and his eyes wandered between the two groups.

"Su Peisheng, compare the two prescriptions."

Su Peisheng stood up and said, "I obey your order."

He went to Doctor Wen, took out Doctor Wen's prescription, put the two prescriptions together, and compared them carefully.

After reading it, he winked at the apprentice beside him, who immediately took out a tray and put the two prescriptions together.

"In reply to Your Majesty, these two prescriptions only share a few ingredients, and the differences are quite significant. I don't think there's any plagiarism involved."

Su Peisheng's apprentice, Xiao Xiazi, also hurriedly brought the tray to the emperor's table. The emperor glanced at it briefly and then said, "Jiang Cheng, you said that Doctor Wen plagiarized your prescription, so come and take a look!"

Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat. How could this be? He had clearly stolen this prescription from Doctor Wen. How could the two prescriptions be different?

It hasn't been that long, and the prescription shouldn't have been changed so much!

He was becoming more and more panicked, and Doctor Wen had just said that his prescription had cured the patient, but he had only done a small experiment with this prescription, and now it had been passed on to others, so he was in a difficult situation.

Seeing that the Jiang brothers were silent, Imperial Physician Wen said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if I could take a look at Imperial Physician Jiang's prescription. This epidemic is a serious matter and we cannot afford any mistakes. Has Imperial Physician Jiang's prescription ever cured a patient?"

The emperor looked at the Jiang brothers with cold eyes, "Doctor Wen is asking you a question, speak up!"

Concubine Hua also noticed that something was wrong. She glared at the Jiang brothers fiercely, "You fools, have your prescriptions ever cured a patient?"

Su Peisheng handed the prescription to Doctor Wen. Doctor Wen twirled his beard confidently after seeing the prescription. Then, his face changed. He placed the prescription on the tray and said in a pretentious and anxious manner:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I have worked with the Jiang Taiyi brothers for many years, but now I am forced to denounce the Huang brothers. Their prescriptions make no difference whether you take them or not, except that they won't make the patient's condition worse. Furthermore, they contain several tonics. If a weak patient takes them, they may seem to get better, but in reality, they are completely useless!"

The emperor was furious and threw the cup in his hand fiercely in front of the Jiang brothers.

"How dare you deceive me! This epidemic is of grave importance, yet you dare to tamper with it? Come on! Drag the Jiang brothers out and throw them in jail."
