Gong Qiuyan frowned and scolded:

"Imperial Physician Liu, what are you doing! Get out of the way right now! If anything happens to my son, I will hold you responsible!"

Although Physician Liu hesitated slightly, he felt quite displeased by Yu Shuyan's indifferent expression, sensing that she was looking down on him. Adopting a benevolent physician's demeanor, he insisted:

“Your Highness, please forgive me. It’s not that I don’t want her to go in, but I’m worried that if she goes in now, she will disturb our chief physician’s acupuncture treatment.”

Gong Qiuyan was slightly taken aback:

"Is Doctor Ding administering acupuncture?"

Imperial Physician Liu glanced smugly at Yu Shuyan and nodded, saying:

"Exactly. Physician Ding is administering acupuncture. If unauthorized persons forcibly intrude and interfere with Physician Ding's acupuncture, thus delaying the young prince's treatment, can you bear the responsibility?"

In the end, he seemed to feel that he had finally gotten the better of this arrogant brat, and his voice was filled with smugness as he looked at Yu Shuyan with a mocking tone.

"If that's the case, then... shall we wait a moment?"

Gong Qiuyan was completely at a loss and hesitated before looking at Yu Shuyan.

Imperial Physician Liu was even more pleased with himself:

Where did this quack doctor come from, daring to spout nonsense in front of our imperial physicians? He's utterly absurd. So what if you're so great? What makes you so special?

The mockery and smugness in his eyes were even more pronounced:

"Your Highness, please forgive my bluntness, but when it comes to treating illnesses and saving lives, you should rely on our Imperial Hospital. As for those so-called miracle doctors who peddle charlatans, it's best to be cautious. Being swindled out of money is a small matter, but if it delays the young prince's treatment, that would be the most unacceptable thing."

After saying that, he glared at Yu Shuyan again.

Yu Shuyan frowned:

"Imperial Physician Liu, right? You just said that my presence would delay the young prince's treatment?"

Imperial Physician Liu sneered:

"nature."

Yu Shuyan remained calm:

"So, you mean you can cure the young prince?"

Physician Liu was taken aback, just in time to see Gong Qiuyan, who was looking at him expectantly because of Yu Shuyan's words.

A sudden panic gripped him, his eyes flickered, and his smug, high-flying head unconsciously lowered.

"The young prince... he's terminally ill, and all we can do is... we can only try to delay it as much as possible."

"procrastination?"

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Shuyan pressed him for an answer.

"How long will it be delayed? Three to five years, or a year and a half?"

Pressed by her questioning, Imperial Physician Liu angrily replied:

“You woman, you really don’t know anything. The young prince is terminally ill and shouldn’t have lasted more than an hour. Our Physician Ding is on his way and doing his best. If we can delay him for three or five days, that’s already the limit.”

At this point, he suddenly raised his voice:

"However, I can guarantee that only our Physician Ding can buy the young prince a few more days. No one else in the entire Dayong has this ability!"

Gong Qiuyan was already swaying precariously, tears streaming down her face.

"My son, my poor son!"

Seeing Gong Qiuyan in unbearable pain, Yu Shuyan was too lazy to waste words with Imperial Physician Liu. She pushed him away and strode into the courtyard.

The imperial physician, Liu, stumbled from the shove, turned around in disbelief, glared at Yu Shuyan who had entered the courtyard, his teeth itching with anger. He then turned sharply to the stunned Gong Qiuyan and hurriedly said:

"Your Highness, are you just going to watch her—she—be so presumptuous! Aren't you afraid that something might happen to the young prince?!"

Startled by his words, Gong Qiuyan finally came to her senses.

She rushed into the courtyard, trying to call out to Yu Shuyan.

However, Yu Shuyan had already pushed open the door and entered Zhou Yunchen's room.

Gong Qiuyan stamped her foot in frustration, even regretting bringing Gong Qiuyan back at that moment.

"How dare you! Get out!"

A rebuke came from inside the room; it was Doctor Ding's voice.

"Oh dear, this woman is so insolent! She must have disturbed Physician Ding's acupuncture. Now, now the young prince... he..."

Gong Qiuyan was suddenly unable to think straight; her mind was filled with the thought that Zhou Yunchen might die.

Her face was deathly pale as she rushed into the house, shouting:

"Yu Shuyan, you're outrageous! You're asking for death!"

Imperial Physician Liu looked smug:

You ignorant, shameless woman, now I'd like to see if you can still be so smug. You won't even know how you're going to die!

Before Gong Qiuyan could enter the house, she was blocked at the door by Ding Yizheng, who came out of the house.

Doctor Ding looked grave, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, and his complexion was quite unwell.

Gong Qiuyan's pale face instantly turned even more ashen, her lips trembling as she stared intently at Doctor Ding:

"My son~ my son, he~ isn't he~ isn't he~ isn't he~?"

However, she simply couldn't bring herself to say the word "death"!

Judging from Physician Ding's expression, Imperial Physician Liu was certain that Yu Shuyan's intrusion had led to Zhou Yunchen's death. He had already sentenced Yu Shuyan to death in his heart.

Her eyes flickered, but she suppressed the smugness in them, forcing a look of regret as she looked at Doctor Ding, her voice filled with sorrow and reproach:

"Dr. Ding, you have done your best, there is no need to blame yourself. It was all because of that ignorant woman who interrupted your acupuncture treatment in order to steal the credit, which caused the young prince to... sigh... In short, that ignorant woman must be severely punished, otherwise, who knows how many lives she will kill by swindling people under the guise of a doctor!"

Gong Qiuyan's eyes, which had been filled with sorrow, instantly welled up with intense resentment at his reminder. She gritted her teeth and shouted angrily into the room:

"Yu Shuyan, get out here right now! I want you to pay for my son's life, pay for his life!"

As he spoke, he tried to push aside Doctor Ding and rush into the house.

Doctor Ding, however, stood blocking the doorway, showing no intention of moving aside, and looked at Gong Qiuyan with a puzzled expression, his brows furrowed.

"Your Highness, please calm down. Lady Yu, she..."

Physician Liu was frightened, and Physician Ding was pleading for Yu Shuyan. He hurriedly interrupted him, still putting on a righteous act:

"Dr. Ding, you are unaware of this. I have already explained to Yu Shuyan that she should not disturb your acupuncture treatment, and that any disturbance could cost the young prince his life. However, Yu Shuyan completely disregarded this, and in her eagerness to gain credit, she simply did not value the young prince's life. It can be said that the young prince's death is inextricably linked to Yu Shuyan. Dr. Ding, I know you are a good person, but you should not plead for this kind of swindler who disregards human life and engages in fraudulent activities."

Doctor Ding frowned:

"What are you saying! Shut up right now!"

Physician Liu completely ignored him and continued:

"Dr. Ding, I know you want to say that we doctors are compassionate and shouldn't be so indifferent to life. But if we beg Her Highness the Grand Princess to spare Yu Shuyan, then what about the young prince's life? Who should compensate for his life?"

Doctor Ding grew anxious, glancing at Gong Qiuyan's increasingly chilling expression, and glared at Imperial Physician Liu, shouting:

"Shut up, stop talking nonsense!"

Imperial Physician Liu ignored him, and even seemed a little smug:

"Am I wrong? Shouldn't murderers pay with their lives?"

"Yes, murderers should pay with their lives!"

A sharp female voice suddenly rang out, startling everyone!
