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

Chapter 134

When Liu Manman returned from her trip to the palace, she was followed by a large number of Imperial Guards and Physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy, making quite a spectacle. Everyone in the Marquis's residence was baffled, wondering what had happened.

Qin Shaoze happened to be in the manor at that moment. Hearing the commotion, he rushed over and asked Liu Manman in astonishment, "Manman, what happened?"

Liu Manman's face was extremely pale, and her mouth tasted bitter.

It wasn't appropriate to explain to Qin Shaoze here, and besides, she really didn't have the face to explain to him.

How could she possibly tell him that her medical skills were actually not that great, that she just had a stockpile of medicine, and that now her title of "Danxin Divine Physician" was gone, and that the emperor was going to confiscate all her medicine?

Liu Manman did not answer Qin Shaoze, and led the Imperial Guards and others to the Marquis's mansion storeroom.

There were many empty boxes in the warehouse. Liu Manman went in first and opened the boxes one by one. As she opened them, she put the medicine from her pharmacy space into the boxes.

She only took out a portion of the medicine, including common medicines such as anti-inflammatory drugs, cold medicines, painkillers, and anti-allergy medicines, but most of them were medicines that were not used in ancient times, such as injections, intravenous infusions, contrast agents, and other miscellaneous medicines. She had no use for them anyway, so she took them out this time to make up the numbers.

These medicines were extremely precious and non-renewable resources in ancient times, and she wouldn't be foolish enough to hand them all over. Even if she could no longer practice medicine in Beiyi, she would keep them for future use, in case she needed them in the future, or at least to treat her own illness!

Liu Manman packed out several large boxes and divided them into two parts.

He said to the physicians of the Imperial Medical Academy, "I know how to use this box of medicines. I can write down the corresponding symptoms and usage methods for you later. I have already used a lot of these medicines, so this is the only box left. I don't know how to use these five boxes. Their effects and dangers are unknown. You'd better not abuse them. Otherwise, if someone dies, don't say I didn't warn you."

The imperial physicians were somewhat suspicious when they saw that there was only one box of useful medicine.

The Imperial Guards searched the storeroom and Weixia Courtyard, where Liu Manman lived, again, but found no large quantity of medicine. They let it go; they were only there to confiscate medicine, and there was no need to search the place thoroughly.

The Imperial Guards and the Imperial Medical Academy physicians then left the Yongning Marquis's residence with the boxes of medicine.

The servants of the Marquis's mansion were all secretly watching and gossiping.

Qin Shaoze watched in stunned silence the entire time.

How could he have never known that so many boxes of medicine were hidden in the Marquis's storeroom!

So, those miraculous medicines that Liu Manman took out all came from here?

What's going on now?

Qin Shaoze grabbed Liu Manman: "Manman! What happened! Why did they take all your medicine!"

Tears welled up in Liu Manman's eyes. She bit her lip tightly, ignored Qin Shaoze, and turned back to her Weixia Courtyard.

Qin Shaoze wasn't about to give up and kept pressing for answers: "Say something! Didn't you go to the palace today? What happened there?"

Liu Manman's pent-up grievances, resentment, fear, and despair all erupted at once, and she burst into tears.

"Shaoze...I...I'm completely finished now!"

Liu Manman cried uncontrollably, recounting in broken sentences what had happened to her in the palace that day.

"...It's all because of that Shen! It's because she deliberately targeted me and instigated the Emperor to keep interrogating me that I've ended up like this! Now I can no longer treat patients and save lives, I've lost my title, my reputation is completely ruined, and I can no longer bring any merit to the Marquis's mansion... She just can't stand to see me doing well, and she can't stand to see the Marquis's mansion doing well! How could she be so vicious!"
