"Of course it's true, would your mother lie to you? However, whether we'll be able to see the miracle doctor is still uncertain!"

The mistress of the Su family mansion was in the hall of her courtyard with her beloved daughter.

"Why do you say that?" Su Yinhan asked anxiously.

The mistress of the Marquis's mansion gently stroked her daughter's hand and comforted her, "The divine physician has an eccentric personality; not everyone can easily meet him."

Besides relying on fate, the most important thing is that the divine doctor's elixirs are priceless, so let's prepare gold bars first.

But Mother will do everything in her power to find a miracle doctor for my son.

At this moment, a servant rushed over and whispered a few words in the ear of the mistress of the Marquis's mansion.

The mistress of the Marquis's mansion's eyes lit up, and she said to her daughter, "There's news! The Divine Physician Pavilion has announced that it will only see three people. In three days, an auction will be held at the Divine Physician Pavilion, and the highest bidder will get to see the Divine Physician."

Also, three days later, the doctors at the Divine Healer's Pavilion will provide free medical consultations for the poor.

Su Yinhan didn't understand why her mother told her the second half of the sentence. "Mother, why did you say the second half of the sentence?"

The mistress of the Marquis's mansion shook her head helplessly, "If we can't secure a meeting with the divine physician, then we'll have no choice but to accept our fate. The doctors at the Divine Physician Pavilion are our last hope."

Upon hearing this news, Su Yinhan's face lit up with joy. She knew this was a rare opportunity for her.

“Mother, Yinhan understands. Please help prepare some gold bars. Yinhan will go back to the Prince’s mansion and ask the Prince for some more. We must prepare more gold bars to ensure that we can win the opportunity to meet the Divine Physician at the auction.”

Seeing hope in her heart, Su Yinhan left the mistress's courtyard and walked all the way out of the Marquis's mansion. Servants bowed to Su Yinhan, and Su Yinhan smiled and treated them with utmost courtesy.

The servants were so frightened they trembled.

Su Yinhan returned to the Prince's mansion and rushed to the Prince's study, only to be told that the Prince was with the Princess.

Suppressing his jealousy, he hurriedly rushed to the princess's courtyard.

Su Yinhan arrived at the princess's courtyard and barged into the living room without being announced.

At this moment, the prince and princess were having their dinner. The prince saw Su Yinhan being so rude and was about to lose his temper.

Su Yinhan ran in and knelt down beside the prince.

She cried out, "Your Highness, please save me!" Su Yinhan's tears fell as if they were worthless.

"Speak your mind, stop crying and wailing, what kind of behavior is this!" Prince Yong'an subtly moved away the hand that Su Yinhan was holding.

"I've heard that the Divine Physician's Pavilion will be holding an auction in three days, where people can bid for the opportunity to meet the Divine Physician. I would like to ask Your Highness for some gold bars so that I can participate in the auction," Su Yinhan said, sobbing with her head down.

Prince Yong'an frowned. "I have also heard about this matter, but the rules of the Divine Physician's Pavilion have always been that the highest bidder wins. Although I can offer some silver, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to win the opportunity to meet the Divine Physician."

Su Yinhan raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and looked at the prince. "Your Highness, I beg you. I need a doctor to treat my health problems. I'm willing to do anything to repay you."

At this moment, the princess spoke up, "Sister, don't worry, let's think of other solutions together."

Hearing the princess's words, Su Yinhan pointed at the princess and said, "Hmph, what other way is there? Is the princess just talking without understanding the pain? I've seen doctors outside and imperial physicians in the palace, and none of them have cured my illness."

My only hope now rests on the miracle doctor. What are the Princess's intentions in obstructing this?

"Sister, you have misunderstood me. I meant that we should think of a solution together, but I did not say that the Prince should not abandon you."

Just kidding. The Prince's Mansion is now under my management. Do you think you can take money from the public funds? Do you think I'm so easy to fool?

The prince nodded, indicating his agreement with the princess's suggestion. "Then we'll take it from the royal treasury…!"

"Wait, Your Highness, the public funds don't grow on trees."

The princess interrupted the prince, "Moreover, the auction at the Divine Physician's Pavilion is highly competitive and the prices are exorbitant. The entry fee is ten thousand taels of gold! And if we still fail to receive treatment from the divine physician in the end, wouldn't it be a loss?"

The prince pondered for a moment, finding the princess's words reasonable, and turned to Su Yinhan, "Then, in your opinion, what should be done?"

Su Yinhan stopped her tears and gritted her teeth, saying, "I am willing to sell my jewelry to raise the entrance fee."

"Your Highness, even if you manage to win the bid to meet the divine physician after entering the arena, the subsequent treatment costs will likely be substantial."

The princess paused for a moment, then continued, "Who will bear this huge sum of money? Can the royal family afford it? Is that fair to the other people in the family?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yinhan stood up immediately and said, "Your Highness, you're just jealous of me, jealous of how good the Prince is to me."

"Alright!" The prince nodded slightly. "What the princess says is quite right. Here's what we'll do: allocate ten thousand taels from the manor to her."

"Your Highness, ten thousand is too little! I know you have your difficulties," Su Yinhan said softly, squeezing out a few tears. "But ten thousand taels really isn't enough!"

The princess sneered, "Consort Su, don't push your luck! Ten thousand taels is already the limit. You can go back to your family and ask your mother for a solution!"

Su Yinhan said smugly, "Your Highness, how did you know I didn't go back to the Marquis's residence to see my father and mother? My father and mother said they would raise more money for me as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Prince Yong'an almost forgot that she was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, and it was not the right time to abandon her.

"Your Highness, what do you think we should do?"

"That's easy." The princess smiled slightly, it seemed that the prince was still unwilling to abandon Su Yinhan.

However, it's impossible to get the Prince's money for nothing.

“Your Highness, we can take some silver from the Prince’s Mansion’s coffers, but this money is a loan to your Consort Su, and you will have to pay it back in the future.”

Su Yinhan's expression changed. She hadn't expected the princess to say that, but she still gritted her teeth and agreed.

"Very good." The prince nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Highness, shall I have someone go to the accounting office to fetch the silver notes now?"

A short while later, the princess's head maid retrieved the silver notes from the accounting office. The maid glanced at the princess and then gave the silver notes to Su Yinhan.

The princess smiled slightly. "Consort Su, consider this money a loan. Remember, you must repay it in the future."

"I understand." Su Yinhan bit her lip, secretly vowing that once her appearance was restored, she would avenge the humiliation she suffered today.

Su Yinhan took the silver note and looked at it. "What? Only ten thousand taels of silver? Wasn't it supposed to be ten thousand taels of gold? Your Highness, why are you deceiving me like this?"

The prince looked at the princess, thinking it was ten thousand taels of gold, but it turned out he thought his princess was very generous.

Seeing the prince's dissatisfaction, the princess quickly explained, "Your Highness, you don't know this, but the money in the Prince's mansion doesn't come from thin air. The world is so difficult now, and the expenses of the Prince's mansion are high. I originally wanted to discuss with Your Highness how to cut expenses."

"Your Highness, how about taking ten thousand taels from your private account and giving it to Consort Su?"

Upon hearing the princess's suggestion, Prince Yong'an felt his heart bleed. For the sake of the Marquis's power, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
