Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 132

Having said all that, Liu Manman's mental defenses completely crumbled.

Her so-called medical skills are basically a huge lie!

She relied entirely on her cheat-like pharmacy space; she herself knew almost nothing, and even how to use these readily available medicines was only vaguely understood.

She never imagined that she would be exposed one day, and she had not made any preparations in advance.

Now she was backed into a corner, facing the emperor's barrage of questions, and could no longer pretend to know what she didn't and try to evade the questions!

She simply can't cover up this lie!

If we continue to fabricate stories, the situation will only become more and more serious.

The crime of deceiving the emperor is a capital offense!

Liu Manman's mind collapsed, and her knees buckled, causing her to kneel down.

"Your Majesty, I am not actually skilled in medicine, and my medical skills are limited. I simply have a large quantity of medicines at my disposal, and I know how to use them... During the plague in the army, I used a large amount of medicine to treat the patients, thus quelling the epidemic. That is why I was considered to have excellent medical skills. I did not intentionally try to deceive the world or cheat anyone!"

She couldn't argue any further, so she might as well just tell the truth and admit that this was her level!

No matter what, she did indeed provide those medicines, quell the plague, and save the lives of millions of soldiers in Bei Yi. This was truly her achievement!

Considering this, the emperor probably won't punish her!

Shen Lingjun, who was standing nearby, finally heard Liu Manman admit the truth and felt a surge of joy.

She had always felt that Liu Manman didn't seem to be a truly skilled doctor, and she was right.

You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever.

Without real skills, one will eventually be exposed.

Shen Lingjun said calmly, "Madam Liu should know that merely knowing how to use medicine is far from being a divine physician. Yet the Emperor bestowed upon you the title of Divine Physician with Loyal Heart, and the world praises your superb medical skills, which you have never denied. You have tacitly accepted the glory and praise bestowed upon you by the public, but you are actually unworthy of it. Isn't this another form of deception?"

Liu Manman gritted her teeth so hard she almost broke them, staring at Shen Lingjun with venomous resentment.

This bitch!

What is she doing, adding fuel to the fire? Who does she even have the right to speak?!

But Liu Manman couldn't say a word, because she couldn't refute what Shen Lingjun said.

The emperor also felt that Shen Lingjun was absolutely right.

Strictly speaking, Liu Manman couldn't be considered guilty of deceiving the emperor. Because she quelled the plague, people generally believed she possessed exceptional medical skills—this was a common perception. She didn't boast or deceive the emperor.

However, her medical skills were clearly unworthy of the title, yet she shamelessly and brazenly accepted the title of "Divine Physician with Loyal Heart," which is utterly despicable.

The emperor said coldly, "You never boasted to me about your medical skills, so I'm adding the charge of deceiving the emperor to your name. I'm sure you won't accept that. But you absolutely deserve the title of seeking fame and reputation and being shameless."

Seeking fame and reputation, shameless and brazen.

These eight words struck Liu Manman so hard that her vision went black and her whole body went cold.

Her sense of superiority, her pride in honor and glory, were all shattered in that instant!
