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

Concubine Hua was horrified. She never expected that such a thing would happen.

Concubine Hua refused to give up. She turned around and glared at the Jiang brothers angrily, "What did you say to me at the beginning? Why did this happen? Hasn't that prescription been tested? It can cure this epidemic."

Jiang Cheng is quite courageous. He has realized that he has fallen into a trap. However, at this point, if he retreats even a step, he will fall into an abyss and face the disaster of having his property confiscated and his family exterminated.

Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground, begging, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. How can you only believe the words of Lord Wen? This prescription was carefully developed by my brother and me. Now that Doctor Wen says it's fake, please provide evidence."

Unlike Concubine Hua Jiang Cheng's anxiety, Imperial Physician Wen seemed confident. He smiled calmly, bowed to the Emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, this humble minister's prescription has been verified by many colleagues in the Imperial Hospital. I wonder if Lord Jiang would dare to show this prescription to you all?"

The emperor thought it was reasonable, so he temporarily spared the lives of the Jiang brothers and asked Su Peisheng to order someone to summon all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau.

After the imperial doctors arrived, Su Peisheng told them what had happened.

The imperial doctors looked at each other in confusion.

This matter was clearly a battle between the two great Buddhas, the Queen and Concubine Hua, and they didn't want to be affected.

Therefore, regardless of whether they saw it or not, everyone in the Imperial Hospital held a unified opinion.

"Your Majesty, we are so stupid that we failed to discern whether the prescriptions of Imperial Doctors Jiang and Wen could cure the epidemic. Please forgive us, Your Majesty."

Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. This was what he had bet on.

The two brothers have the support of Concubine Hua and General Nian. Even if the imperial doctors find any problems with their prescriptions, if someone points it out, they will offend Concubine Hua and General Nian.

Jiang Shen seemed worried. If it was fake, it was fake. It was a trap set by the Queen. Even if he passed the imperial physician's test, what would happen next?

After listening to the doctors' words, the Crown Prince raised an eyebrow and said in a calm and relaxed tone, "Since the doctors can't decide which prescription is the right one to cure the epidemic, I have a suggestion."

The Emperor pursed his lips, his face expressionless as he spoke, "In that case, let's do as the Crown Prince says. Su Peisheng, divide the palace maids who have contracted the plague into two groups, and have them treated by Imperial Physician Jiang and his brother and Imperial Physician Wen respectively. Whoever's prescription cures the palace maids will have their prescription proven to be the real one."

He paused, his eyes flashing dangerously as he spoke with a chilling tone, "But if anyone were to interfere and I were to discover it, I could instantly wipe out his entire clan."

The imperial doctors were so frightened that their legs and feet went limp and they quickly knelt on the ground, "We dare not."

They didn't do anything!

This disaster of exterminating nine generations of a clan is no joke.

The Emperor and the Crown Prince exchanged a glance, and the Crown Prince replied calmly, "Your Highness obeys your command."

Doctor Wen also lowered his head and replied calmly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Concubine Hua seemed a little flustered. She rolled her eyes, suppressed her uneasiness, and said with a forced smile, "I understand."

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen lowered their heads and didn't even glance.

Yikun Palace

Concubine Hua was so anxious that she kept pacing around the palace. She tugged at her handkerchief in frustration and said anxiously, "What should I do now? Useless, all useless. They couldn't develop a cure for the epidemic themselves, so they stole someone else's. They stole without knowing why, and now they've been tricked by that bitch, the Queen. They're such useless people."

Songzhi brought a bowl of tea and held it in front of Concubine Hua, saying, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Isn't Imperial Physician Jiang trying to find a solution? As long as we find a way to cure those palace maids, the Emperor won't be able to blame us anymore, right?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Hua raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "Curing those palace servants is easy to say, but relying on those two useless people? The Emperor has summoned so many talented people for the epidemic these days. How can he cure them just by saying so?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ninghai hurried over and said, "Your Highness, Concubine Hua, the Jiang brothers request an audience."

Anger flashed across Concubine Hua's face. "How dare they! I didn't go looking for them, yet they still had the nerve to come here. I tell them to get out of here!"

Zhou Ninghai was a bit embarrassed. He and Songzhi exchanged a glance. Songzhi advised, "Your Majesty, since it's already like this, why don't we invite the two Imperial Doctors Jiang in first? Maybe they can come up with some good ideas. Even if we worry ourselves to death now, it will be useless!"

Concubine Hua snorted lightly and said nothing more, which was considered as her agreement.

Zhou Ninghai breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to call the two brothers Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen in.

As soon as the two came in, Hua Fei's teacup fell on Jiang Shen's head.

Jiang Shen grimaced in pain. He reached out his hand to wipe his forehead, and immediately, his hand was covered with blood.

But when he glanced at Concubine Hua's angry expression, he had to wipe the blood with his sleeve, and hurriedly knelt on the ground with Jiang Cheng to pay his respects to Concubine Hua.

"Your humble servant pays respects to the Empress Hua, and may the Empress Hua live in peace and good health."

Concubine Hua sneered, "Paying respects? There's no need to pay respects to me. I can't pay respects to you two fools around."

Jiang Cheng swallowed hard and said cautiously, "I know I've caused a terrible disaster, but I also want to share the worries of Concubine Hua and General Nian! Concubine Hua, please consider our loyalty and give me and my brother another chance to make amends!"

Jiang Shen followed suit, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty. We, your humble servants, were caught off guard and fell prey to the Empress and the Crown Prince's scheme. The Empress is so treacherous and cunning. Please, Your Majesty, please keep us two brothers by your side, even if it's just to serve as a stepping stone for you."

Hua Fei's expression softened, and she said helplessly, "What else can you do now?"

Jiang Cheng's expression darkened, and there was a glint of madness in his eyes.

"Reporting to Her Majesty Hua, if we want to develop a prescription to treat the epidemic, it will be difficult to achieve in a short time. However, I do have an idea, but I need Her Majesty's cooperation."

Hua Fei hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What's your idea? What do you want to do?"

Jiang Cheng lowered his head and said in a somewhat grim tone, "Since we can't cure those palace servants, then we can't cure them there either. If we can't cure both sides, the Emperor can't blame us both, right?"

Songzhi was a little shocked. There were many patients suffering from the epidemic inside and outside the palace. If the prescription for treating the epidemic could not be determined as soon as possible, something serious would happen.

Hua Fei had naturally considered this as well. Her voice trembled slightly, "Is there... no other way? This method is too unethical."
