Seeing this, the prime minister couldn't help but feel angry. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Chang's cheek hard. There was a crisp "pa" sound, and half of Chang's face became red and swollen instantly.

The Prime Minister yelled at Chang in frustration, "You ignorant fool! Shut your stinky mouth! If it weren't for your nonsense, how could you have angered the miracle doctor away?" After yelling, he didn't bother to pay attention to Chang anymore. He turned around and ran towards the door in a hurry, trying to catch up with Ye Chuxue who was getting farther and farther away.

Finally, not far from the gate, the Prime Minister successfully blocked Ye Chuxue's path. He wore an apologetic smile and spoke in a sincere yet humble tone, "Dr. Shi, please calm down and don't get mad at that ignorant woman. I hope you can accept this banknote. I beg you to put aside the past and continue treating my mother." As he spoke, he respectfully handed the stack of banknotes to Ye Chuxue with both hands.

Ye Chuxue raised her eyes slightly and glanced at him coldly with a calm expression. Her eyes were still hanging at her side, and she had no intention of taking the banknote that was handed to her.

Ouyang Zhi, who was standing nearby, saw this and showed a trace of disdain on his face. He scoffed rudely, "With just fifty thousand taels of silver, you think you can make Divine Doctor Shi forgive you? That's just wishful thinking!"

The Prime Minister's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat. He wiped the sweat with his sleeve and asked apprehensively, "Then...then, in your opinion, how much silver is appropriate?"

Ouyang Zhi raised his chin slightly and casually uttered a number: "One hundred thousand taels."

At this moment, Chang happened to walk out of the house slowly. When she heard this shocking number, her eyes widened instantly, and her originally dignified face became a little distorted with surprise and anger.

Then, a sharp, piercing voice cut through the air: "You guys are really asking for too much! To say you're robbing is an understatement!"

Faced with Chang's excited reaction, Ouyang Zhi merely curled his lips into a playful smile. He snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Hmph! When the Princess personally invited Divine Doctor Shi to treat her, she first paid him a full 100,000 taels in fees before he agreed to leave. Do you think you're more noble and respected than the Princess? Of course, if you're unwilling to pay, no one will hold a knife to your neck and force you to do so!"

Hearing this, the Prime Minister was so angry that he trembled all over. He turned his head abruptly, glared at Chang, and roared in anger: "Shut your mouth! Why don't you apologize to Doctor Shi right away! And, these extra 50,000 taels of silver must be taken from your private money!"

Chang was about to say a few more words, but just as she was about to speak, she was met with the Prime Minister's sharp, hawk-like gaze. That gaze seemed to penetrate the soul, carrying a chilling intimidating power.

Chang felt a chill running down her spine, and in an instant she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth back into her stomach, not daring to say a word again.

Not long after, a servant came hurriedly with the 100,000 taels of silver in his hand.

The Prime Minister came to Ye Chuxue with a flattering look on his face, holding the silver note in both hands and respectfully handed it to Ye Chuxue in an almost humble manner.

Ye Chuxue just glanced at Ouyang Zhi who was standing beside her. The latter immediately understood what she meant, stepped forward, carefully took the banknote, and put it away properly.

Afterwards, Ye Chuxue walked into the house calmly and sat down at the table. She picked up the pen and wrote the prescription again.

Ye Chuxue gently blew dry the ink on it, then stood up and walked to the prime minister and handed the prescription to him.

Then, Ye Chuxue raised her head slightly, looked at the Prime Minister and said slowly: "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first. If there is any problem again, you can go directly to Ouyang Zhi, and he will naturally convey the news to me." After that, Ye Chuxue did not stay any longer, turned around and walked out the door.

At this time, Yun Muheng, who had been watching everything silently from the side, saw Ye Chuxue was about to leave, and followed her without hesitation. Following Ye Chuxue's departing figure, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Ye Chuxue walked forward quickly. Ouyang Zhi beside her asked in confusion, "Xiao Xuexue, why are you walking so fast?"

Ye Chuxue thought that someone was waiting to invite her to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she sneered and said without turning her head, "There is still a good show waiting for me."

Afterwards, Ye Chuxue briefly explained the situation to him, and Ouyang Zhi regretted it by slapping his thigh: "Oh, you should have told me earlier. If I had known, I wouldn't have come out with you. It would have been much better to wait and watch the show at the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Ye Chuxue rolled her eyes at him: "Get lost!"

Ouyang Zhi smiled and said, "Alright! I'll leave now and investigate your background for you."

Just after Ouyang Zhi left, Ye Chuxue also got on the carriage. Just as the carriage was about to leave, the curtain was lifted, and then Yun Muheng got in.

He looked at Ye Chuxue and explained anxiously: "Xue'er, listen to my explanation. There is no relationship between Ye Xinrou and me. It's her..."

Ye Chuxue rubbed her forehead and interrupted him directly, saying expressionlessly: "Your Highness, I am not interested in what happened between you and Ye Xinrou. I have something urgent to attend to, so I will not chat with you any longer. Please leave."

Yun Muheng looked at Ye Chuxue with a hurt expression: "Xue'er, what's the matter? I'm fine, I can accompany you."

Ye Chuxue was helpless: "Your Majesty, I want to change back into women's clothes. Do you have to stay here too?"

Yun Muheng thought of something, his face flushed like a cooked prawn, and then he looked Ye Chuxue up and down with a sly smile: "If you want me to be here, it's not impossible. I don't mind helping you."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Ye Chuxue could get angry, Yun Muheng jumped down.

Ye Chuxue blushed at his words and glared at Yun Muheng who was walking down. Then she quickly changed her clothes. Fortunately, she usually kept her hair tied up with a hairpin, which saved her a lot of time.

When she entered the palace, the servant of the Prime Minister's residence stepped forward as if seeing a savior, and said respectfully: "My humble servant greets you, Princess. The Prime Minister invites you to his residence to discuss an important matter."

At this moment, Yun Muheng walked in and looked at the servant with a puzzled look: "What does the Prime Minister want to see the princess about?"

Before the servant could reply, Ye Chuxue sneered, "Just go and take a look and you'll know. How can he, a servant, know?"

Before they even sat down, Yun Muheng and Ye Chuxue stood up and headed towards the Prime Minister's Residence.
