After giving birth to twins, the princess became pregnant again, and the royal uncle took care of he

Chu Xingyao was in a great mood, humming a little tune as she strolled through the streets of Kyoto.

Pearl followed closely behind, and the two figures moved through the bustling market.

Chu Xingyao was thinking to herself that Jun Jiuxiao's birthday was approaching, and she needed to find a special gift to express her feelings.

As she walked, her gaze was drawn to a pharmacy called "Baohetang," with a "For Sale" sign hanging at the entrance. Chu Xingyao's eyes lit up; she had always dreamed of opening her own pharmacy.

She walked in quickly and saw an elderly couple, their daughter, and a waiter. The atmosphere seemed somewhat somber.

"Hello, are you really going to transfer ownership of this shop?" Chu Xingyao asked softly.

The elderly couple didn't even look up, their voices heavy: "Yes, sixty thousand taels of silver."

"That's not expensive." Chu Xingyao looked around and prepared to take out her silver notes.

At this moment, the old lady said with tears in her eyes:

“You are kind-hearted, but I am unwilling to deceive you. This pharmacy is not worth 60,000 taels of silver, and we have almost no medicinal herbs left.”

Chu Xingyao took out the silver without hesitation.

"Judging from your appearance, you must be in urgent need of money. I've heard from the people of Kyoto that doctors at Baohetang can pay on credit. You've done a lot of good deeds, so I can understand."

The elderly couple knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their faces, but did not accept the silver notes. Instead, they said to Chu Xingyao:

"Thank you, young lady. It's not that we insist on selling it at such a high price, but we really need 60,000 taels of silver."

Chu Xingyao looked puzzled: "Are you leaving Kyoto?"

The old woman said sadly, "No, it's my daughter who is sick."

"Only Dr. Mo from Renxintang can cure this with his 'Nine Curves and Thirteen Needles' technique, but they're asking for 60,000 taels of silver, and my daughter is in unbearable pain; we can't wait any longer."

Chu Xingyao had heard of Renxintang, which was ostensibly owned by Consort Su, but secretly owned by Jun Xuanche.

She asked, "Could you take me to see your daughter? I'm a very good doctor."

The elderly couple exchanged a glance. Since things had already come to this, they might as well give it a try, and besides, the girl didn't seem like a bad person.

So they took Chu Xingyao to see their daughter, "Banxia." The little girl was in a guest room behind the pharmacy, her face pale and her forehead covered in sweat.

Chu Xingyao secretly had Pearl use the spatial instrument to scan the area and discovered it was appendicitis. This disease had very limited treatment options in ancient times.

Traditional Chinese medicine describes appendicitis as "intestinal carbuncle," and while there are many treatment methods, none can completely cure it.

Just as he was about to speak, Doctor Mo and his assistant from Renxintang arrived.

"How is it? Have you raised enough money?" Dr. Mo asked. "She had abdominal pain; it was too late to seek treatment."

The man added, "It might affect our offspring in the future."

Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately became anxious: "Treat him, doctor, we'll treat him."

"Alright, then take 60,000 taels of silver first."

“Okay…okay…” The old woman walked up to Chu Xingyao and said, “Young lady, this shop is yours now. Give me the 60,000 taels of silver.”

Chu Xingyao said, "That won't do."

The old lady immediately became anxious and said, "Young lady, aren't you going to buy it again?"

At this point, the shop assistant said, "If she doesn't want to buy it, we can give it to 'Renxintang' as a discount, and we'll give you ten thousand taels of silver."

"Ten thousand taels? That's outrageous!" Chu Xingyao exclaimed, her eyes widening dramatically.

"How come at this good time, you sometimes can't even buy a shop for 50,000 taels?"

The guy acted as if it were perfectly normal.

A buzz of discussion arose in the crowd. Just then, Chu Xingyao's voice rang out:

"What disease does the little girl have? How long will it take to completely cure her? Can you guarantee that it won't recur?"

Dr. Mo said, "I will definitely cure her within three hours, but I cannot guarantee that it will not recur, because 'intestinal abscess' is a disease that cannot be completely cured."

Chu Xingyao's lips curled into a sly smile: "Oh? Is that so? Then if I can cure you completely, shouldn't you call me Master?"

Chu Xingyao stood in the crowd and said confidently:

"This young lady can cure that dreaded 'intestinal abscess' within an hour, and I guarantee it won't recur."

Dr. Mo was taken aback, then burst into laughter:

"Little girl, are you joking? If you can cure me, I'll not only call you master, I'll become your disciple on the spot!"

The people around her were also talking about it, clearly not believing her words.

"Impossible, no one can cure 'intestinal abscess'." Someone in the crowd shook their head.

“Yeah, this girl is so young, how could that be?” another person chimed in.

"Isn't that Chu Xingyao, the eldest daughter of the Zhennan General's Mansion, that good-for-nothing? Since when did good-for-nothings become medicine doctors?"

At this moment, a woman dressed in a pale yellow gown walked over. She had regular features, but her face was somewhat harsh.

"This person is none other than Yun Jin, the eldest daughter of the Minister's family," Pearl reminded Chu Xingyao from the side.

Chu Xingyao nodded. She remembered that this person always bullied her with Chu Xinglan.

She pretended not to recognize Yun Jin and asked, "And who is this?"

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly looked up, deliberately covered her mouth, and said with an incredulous expression, "...Ah...you have food in your teeth."

Yun Jin panicked immediately, frantically checking her teeth: "You...you..."

Chu Xingyao covered her nose and exaggeratedly took a few steps back: "Your breath sounds terrible, Miss Yun, you should see a doctor."

"I really pity your future husband, tsk...tsk...tsk..."

Yun Jin was both angry and anxious, her face flushed red: "Don't change the subject. You don't know any medicine at all. Stop harming people."

Chu Xingyao puffed out her chest and said confidently, "I do know how. This young lady is very skilled in medicine."

Yun Jin smiled slyly:

"How about we make a bet? If you don't know medicine and can't cure her, you'll kneel down and kowtow to apologize to me, all the way from the General's Mansion to the Minister's Mansion."

She finished speaking with a smug look on her face, as if she could already see Chu Xingyao kowtowing to her.

Chu Xingyao raised an eyebrow and said provocatively:

"Alright, but if I deliver, I'll demand 50,000 taels of gold from your Minister's residence. If that's not enough, you'll have to earn it at the 'Hundred Fragrances Pavilion.' How about it? Are you in?"

Yun Jin retorted without backing down: "What's there to be afraid of? Let's put a written agreement as proof."

She quickly wrote down the bet agreement, made two copies, and handed them to Chu Xingyao: "Everyone is a witness."

Chu Xingyao accepted the "challenge," a sly smile playing on her lips:

"Then let's wait and see, Miss Yun. I hope you have prepared enough gold."

The surrounding crowd began to whisper among themselves, and some people started placing bets to see who would win the bet.

Full of confidence, Chu Xingyao took out a medicine box from the carriage.

Pearl looked bewildered; she remembered there was no first-aid kit when she came down.

Chu Xingyao said to the couple, "If we delay any longer, she will die. Trust me this once, I really can save her."

The elderly couple knelt down and kowtowed, saying they would do anything to save their daughter.

Chu Xingyao helped them up, turned around and went into the room, and told Da Bai to guard the door and not let anyone in.

Big White respectfully replied, "Yes." She had also heard about the bet, so she would guard the door.

As soon as Chu Xingyao entered the room, Yun Jin at the door had someone start timing her.

He seemed to already see Chu Xingyao kowtowing step by step, from the General's Mansion to the Minister's Mansion, and he felt very smug.
