The cruel little princess

Outsiders didn't know how Imperial Physician Yang communicated with Imperial Physician Li, but looking at Imperial Physician Li's constipated and remorseful expression, it was clear that he hadn't expected Madam Liu to be alive and well. It truly overturned his understanding of his short life of nearly fifty years. Therefore, Imperial Physician Li followed Shen Youyou and the other imperial physicians whenever he had free time, listening to their questions and Shen Youyou's responses.

Doctor Li looked at Shen Youyou, who answered questions fluently and confidently, and finally realized how narrow-minded he had been in the past. Medical skills can only progress together through communication. If everyone worked in isolation like him, each generation would be inferior to the previous one! It was precisely because they stepped on the shoulders of those predecessors that they had a higher starting point than their ancestors!

Shen Youyou looked at Doctor Li, who was a little secretive, and asked him openly, "Doctor Li, do you have any questions? If so, feel free to ask. Let's discuss it together!" As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Li felt that everyone around him was looking back at him. However, he didn't feel embarrassed, because he really had some questions that he didn't understand and wanted to ask Shen Youyou!

"Ah, I really don't quite understand..." Doctor Li no longer insisted on his own opinion, but instead started a serious discussion with Shen Youyou.

Today was the day she'd agreed to deliver the goods to the Hongyan Pavilion's female owner. Shen Youyou had already prepared the scar-removing cream, and this time she also brought a jar of Black Jade Ointment, intending to ask if Ji'an Hall would accept it. She and An Er rode together again. Having revealed her identity as a woman last time, she decided to show her true colors this time, arriving in women's clothing. Before she even reached the entrance to Hongyan Pavilion, she saw the female owner peering around. When she reached her, she thought she was blocking a customer's path, so she slid to the side and continued to peer.

Shen Youyou didn't quite understand what the female shopkeeper was doing, so she asked directly, "Shopkeeper, I brought some scar cream this time. Do you want to keep it?"

The shopkeeper turned around and stared at her for a while, then slapped his thigh in joy. "Oh my! So you've changed into women's clothes! I thought you were still dressed the same as last time, so I've been waiting for you at the door since you didn't come! Please forgive me for my poor eyesight and failure to recognize you!"

The shopkeeper welcomed her in, and Shen Youyou took out the scar-removing cream. This time, she made a larger batch, 30 small jars. "Can you eat all of it this time?" Shen Youyou asked the female shopkeeper.

"No problem!" The female shopkeeper withdrew three hundred taels of silver from the account and gave it to Shen Youyou. Shen Youyou took the silver, put it in her sleeve pocket, and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, young lady. I have something to discuss with you." The female shopkeeper stopped Shen Youyou as she was about to leave. She led Shen Youyou to the back room and asked the maid to serve tea. "What is your name, young lady?"

"No need to tell me your surname is Shen." Shen Youyou calmly took a sip of tea and answered.

"It turns out to be Miss Shen. Miss Shen, let's be frank. My boss wants to sign a contract with Miss Shen and buy the recipe for the scar-removing cream. What do you think, Miss Shen? Are you willing to give it up?" The female shopkeeper stated her purpose directly.

Shen Youyou... is it so direct? But this also fully proves that the effect of this scar-soothing cream is very good, so their boss wants to directly buy the recipe and sell it to her for self-production. But Shen Youyou has always known one truth, that is: the core technology must be firmly in one's own hands! This sentence is applicable everywhere from ancient times to the present! Of course, except for the last time when the black jade intermittent cream was presented! After all, he is the emperor. It is necessary to give up a cream recipe and maintain a good relationship with the emperor! Look, the Rui'an County Master came up! She didn't want to sell the recipe of this scar-soothing cream. After all, she can still tell the difference between one meal full and one meal full. "I'm sorry, shopkeeper, I don't want to sell this recipe." She refused bluntly.

"Don't be anxious, Miss Shen. You haven't heard our boss's conditions yet! The boss said that we can pay 12,000 taels of silver for this recipe, but the prerequisite is that Miss Shen will no longer sell the scar cream in the future. You can make a little for yourself, but you can't sell it to outsiders." The female shopkeeper waved the round fan in her hand, with a lazy beauty.

"The conditions are very tempting, but I still don't want to sell my house." Shen Youyou refused again.

"Miss Shen, you can't afford to offend our master! I advise you to think carefully," the female shopkeeper continued. "My master is the Fifth Prince! That's a position of power you'll never reach in your lifetime, a level unattainable by any other royal relative! You should reconsider!"

Shen Youyou... My mother tongue is speechless... Has bribery failed and they've resorted to coercion? "Is this what your boss wants? The Fifth Prince wants this prescription?" Shen Youyou asked back. I just don't know if this is the Fifth Prince's intention or if his subordinates are just using chicken feathers as a token of authority.

"No matter whose idea it is, it is not a big tree that can be shaken by little unknown people like me and the young lady! Therefore, I am really thinking about the young lady and advise her to sign a contract quickly. She can also get 10,000 taels of silver notes. It's the best of both worlds!" The female shopkeeper continued to lobby while avoiding the main point.

Yes! You helped the master get my prescription and earned his attention. You are quite nice! Shen Youyou thought. It seems that this little thing has not really reached the ears of the Fifth Prince. Their subordinates want to get the prescription and report it after completing it.

"Then do you know who I am?" Shen Youyou said righteously.

"This... I really don't know. Miss Shen is..." The female shopkeeper was confused for a moment. Indeed, Shen Youyou only said her last name was Shen, but didn't say her name or identity. Moreover, she was unmoved by the 10,000 taels of silver. Could she be someone who couldn't be offended? It must be said that the female shopkeeper still had some brains.

"I'm the aunt you can't afford to offend!" Shen Youyou finished speaking, and then she swaggered out of Hongyan Pavilion. She jumped on her horse with a heroic look, and called An Er, "Let's go!" After that, she rode away on her horse without looking back. Anyway, the female shopkeeper didn't know who she was, and she seldom left the military camp. Not many people here knew her, so she wouldn't be able to find out anything. Besides, they probably wouldn't dare to report to the Fifth Prince if they hadn't done their job. So she wasn't afraid! And even if she reported to the Fifth Prince, judging from the Emperor's attitude of taking things lightly after she and the Fifth Prince had a fight when they were children, she wasn't afraid of being at a disadvantage even if she got in front of the Emperor. Buying and selling things requires mutual consent. She gave the Emperor a prescription, and the Emperor also gave her a county lady! The Fifth Prince wanted to buy her a prescription with 10,000 taels of silver. Compared with the county lady mentioned above, is it appropriate? She found it funny just thinking about it.

"Puchi! Haha!" The more she thought about it, the funnier it became, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The laughter reached An Er's ears, making his heart tighten.

The prince asked him to follow Miss Shen, but for some reason the prince and Miss Shen seemed to have had a quarrel a few days ago. Miss Shen ignored her prince, and the prince also refused to talk to Miss Shen like a clam that refused to open its mouth. Every morning when he was practicing martial arts, he looked at Miss Shen with resentful eyes without saying anything. He almost couldn't stand the cold atmosphere.

As a result, Miss Shen was happy and nothing happened, but according to An Yi, the prince drank every night to relieve his sorrow.

Sigh, when will my prince finally come to his senses? Compared to my future wife, what's the point of saving face? As for this wife, she still needs to be coaxed. What's the point of just feeling aggrieved...

Shen Youyou originally wanted to buy some more herbs to continue making the scar-healing cream, but since she had rejected Hongyan Pavilion this time, she was not sure whether they would accept her scar-healing cream next time. Otherwise, she might as well not make it for now... Thinking of this, Shen Youyou turned her horse around and prepared to return to the military camp.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered the wife and children of Mr. Liu. Well, they had just sent a hundred carts of food yesterday, and since it was still early today, she decided to go and do some after-sales service for them. She could also check on the babies and see if they had any residual effects from their premature birth.
