Ye Chuxue glanced at the princess nonchalantly, her tone calm yet tinged with a hint of coldness. "I've always hated it when others doubt my medical skills. If you don't trust me, then I won't bother you any more. I just wonder if the princess has ever heard the saying, 'Good medicine tastes bitter, but it's good for the disease.' Since I've accepted your payment, I will naturally prescribe the right medicine for your condition."

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess's expression instantly turned fawning. She smiled apologetically, "Yes, yes, Divine Doctor Shi is absolutely right! I hope you won't hold it against my rudeness just now. I'm willing to add another 50,000 taels of silver, as long as you can continue to treat my daughter." Before she finished her words, she impatiently turned to the maid beside her and ordered, "Hurry, go to the accounting office and get the 50,000 taels of silver!"

Ouyang Zhi, who was standing behind Ye Chuxue, couldn't help but stare in amazement, secretly marveling: "Oh my, this princess is so generous, she casually spends tens of thousands of taels of silver! This speed of making money is simply astonishing, it's too exciting!"

Ye Chuxue raised the corner of her mouth slightly and nodded gently, saying: "Since you, Princess, are so sincere, if I insist on refusing, it will seem ungrateful and unkind. As for the money, just hand it over directly to Brother Ouyang." After that, she turned around gracefully and walked lightly into the room.

After entering the room, Ye Chuxue went straight to the bedside, looked at Xue Qianqian with gentle and concerned eyes, and softly asked her about the course of her illness and her feelings in the past few days.

Originally, Ye Chuxue had planned to leave the prescription and some ointment behind before returning home. However, since the princess had generously offered another fifty thousand taels of silver, wouldn't it be a waste of her kindness if she didn't show some concern for Xue Qianqian's condition?

At this moment, Xue Qianqian looked at the handsome and extraordinary Ye Chuxue, who was dressed as a man, and her heart was pounding. Before she could say anything, her fair cheeks had already flushed as brightly as the sunset.

She lowered her eyes shyly, and in a voice as soft and melodious as a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, she told Ye Chuxue about the pain and suffering she endured every day.

Ye Chuxue, with a smile on her face, listened patiently to Xue Qianqian's story and meticulously answered every question she raised. The atmosphere between the two of them was harmonious and warm.

At that moment, the maid tiptoed into the room and respectfully handed the banknote to the eldest princess. The eldest princess took the banknote, not even taking the time to feel the warmth of the paper before she hurriedly set off towards Ouyang Zhi. When she reached Ouyang Zhi, she handed the brand new banknote to him without hesitation.

Seeing the silver securely in her pocket, Ye Chuxue couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. However, she quickly calmed down and turned to look at Xue Qianqian, who lay on the sickbed, with concern. She gently instructed, "Qianqian, you must be obedient and drink the medicine on time and in the correct dosage. Don't leave a single drop of this medicine, otherwise it will affect its effectiveness and delay your recovery!" She then smiled gently at Xue Qianqian.

Afterwards, Ye Chuxue slowly stood up under Xue Qianqian's reluctant and affectionate gaze, walked to the table not far away, opened the medicine box gracefully, and carefully took out a bottle of exquisite ointment from it.

Then, she handed the ointment to the princess and said softly, "Your Highness, this ointment is exactly the same as the one I presented to you yesterday. Please let the princess use it first. In three days, I will send someone to deliver the ointment you need later."

Xue Qianqian, lying in bed, was terribly anxious upon hearing this. She strained with all her strength, struggling to prop up her frail body. Her gaze fixed on Ye Chuxue, she asked tenderly, "Then... then you won't come to visit me again?" As she spoke, her large, watery eyes gleamed with anticipation.

However, Ye Chuxue just nodded slightly, indicating that she would not come again.

Seeing this response, Xue Qianqian's heart ached, and her eyes instantly moistened. Biting her lip, she fought back tears, and continued with a sob, "But if you can't come, how can you know if my condition has been completely cured? What if something goes wrong?" At this moment, she looked as pitiful as a wounded fawn, making people feel pity for her.

Ye Chuxue frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, she thought to herself that it would be inappropriate if she didn't come at this time, after all, she had already accepted a full 150,000 taels of silver from the other party.

Then, she gently opened her red lips and said in a slow voice, "So, in seven days, I will come to see you in person for a follow-up consultation. Then, I will give the little princess a thorough physical examination. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Qianqian's face instantly lit up with an ecstatic smile, as charming as a flower in full bloom in spring. She excitedly shouted, "Is that true? Then I'll wait here for good news. You must come!"

Ye Chuxue looked at Xue Qianqian's infatuated expression, and a surge of uncontrollable amusement welled up in her heart. She secretly thought, if Xue Qianqian ever knew that she was actually a girl, and that she was someone she had always hated, she would definitely regret it, even go crazy, haha! However, these thoughts only flashed through her mind.

She still looked calm, nodded slightly at Xue Qianqian, then turned around, picked up the medicine box, and walked hurriedly out the door.

When the two of them stepped out of the gate of the Princess's Mansion, Ouyang Zhi, who had been following behind them, suddenly seemed to be amused by something. He suddenly held on to the wall beside him, laughing so hard that he fell backwards and couldn't stop, even tears rolled down his cheeks.

Seeing this, Ye Chuxue frowned and glared at him with disgust. She said unhappily, "If you keep laughing, do you believe I can help you stop?"
