Upon hearing the words "Hanlin Medical Academy," Jin Shuai's tightly closed eyes slightly opened, but he quickly closed them again. He lazily rolled over and said irritably, "No! I'm so sleepy right now, I'll talk to you when I wake up." With that, he pulled the blanket over his head, preparing to drift back to sleep. However, the knocking didn't stop; instead, it became even more urgent…

"Will this ever end…?" "Young Master Jin," the official said, "the Emperor is looking for you."

"Get out! Don't talk to me about official or private matters. If you dare knock on the door again, I'll break your legs!" Jin Shuai roared angrily, his eyes wide with fury.

The two people standing outside the door froze, as if struck by lightning, their faces filled with astonishment and confusion. After exchanging bewildered glances, one of them stammered, "Why...why is your young master so short-tempered?"

Liu, standing to the side, looked embarrassed and explained, "I'm so sorry, you two, but my young master hates being disturbed while he's sleeping."

"But what should we do? The Emperor is eagerly waiting for him to come over!" The two men were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, pacing back and forth.

Just then, Jin Shuai, who had been fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted at the door, "Damn it! The whole city is breaking out with chickenpox! Who let these people in? Get them out of here right now! And hurry up and spray some disinfectant here to disinfect it!"

The two men outside the door were completely flustered and had no idea how to deal with the situation. One of the eunuchs was particularly anxious. He wiped the large beads of sweat from his forehead and said in a very fast voice, "Young Master Jin, His Majesty has heard that you have a wonderful remedy for treating chickenpox. He has specially sent me to invite you to the palace to meet with the Emperor so that he can inquire about the relevant matters in detail."

However, Jin Shuai remained unmoved, sitting firmly on the bed, and replied resolutely, "I'm not going! Even if the King of Heaven himself came, it wouldn't make a difference! Chickenpox is highly contagious, and who knows if any of you have already been infected. You actually dare to gather together, you're incredibly brave, I admire you, but I'm not that bold as to risk my life with you. You'd better get out of here, or don't blame me for kicking you out! Aunt Liu, go disinfect yourself quickly."

The eunuch outside the gate whispered a few words to the physician and then left… In the Wende Hall, Emperor Renzong of Song, Zhao Zhen, was discussing state affairs with a third fewer of his ministers. The eunuch went to a side door, whispered a few words to another eunuch, and then stood there waiting with his head bowed. After being reported through the layers of officials, the message reached the eunuch beside Renzong. Upon seeing this, Renzong gestured, and the eunuch whispered a few words to Renzong and then stood aside. After the ministers below finished speaking, Renzong said to the eunuch beside him, “Summon him to the front of the hall for questioning.”

A short while later, the young eunuch arrived at the Wende Hall. Emperor Renzong asked, "Are you sure this is the person you're looking for?"

The eunuch said, "Your Majesty, the physician and I have confirmed from what the young master of the Jin family said that he is the person we are looking for."

"Your Majesty, is this my young master..." Before Jin Junqing could finish speaking, Emperor Renzong interrupted, "Jin Duzhi, do not misunderstand. In recent days, a strange illness has spread. Yesterday, the Empress ordered the physicians to search for a treatment in the medical clinics of Tokyo. Vice Envoy Wang learned from a doctor that the young master of the Jin family knows how to treat it, so I sent someone to confirm it."
