Mu Yue walked quickly toward the house and noticed a very uniquely designed lock on the door.

The young apprentice noticed Mu Yue's gaze and immediately explained, "This is a lock specially made by Dean Li. I heard that only he has the key, and no one else can open it."

"Therefore, everyone who wants to read medical books must obtain permission from Dean Li!"

Mu Yue frowned immediately after hearing what the medicine boy said.

In this way, wouldn't the Imperial Medical Academy become a one-man show run by Director Li?

The books of the Imperial Medical Academy do not belong to Director Li.

He has no right to do that.

It seems that Dean Li has quite a bit of ambition.

Mu Yue frowned and said to the little eunuch following behind her, "Fang Lian, break the lock!"

"If you can't break the lock, then break the door!"

Her voice was childlike, but no one could ignore the seriousness in her tone.

Fang Lian, who was called, did not hesitate at all and immediately took a few steps forward to the door lock.

When he stepped forward, he was holding a large wooden stick, clearly trying to use it to open the door in front of him.

The lock was made of very sturdy material; the wooden stick was completely destroyed after several blows, but the lock itself was undamaged.

Mu Yue looked at the door lock, which remained unchanged, and gestured to the other eunuchs behind her to come forward and help.

Working together, the lock remained locked, but the door panel was completely removed.

The books and prescriptions in the room were instantly exposed to the air.

Dust floated in the sunlight, and the smell of ink, along with the dust, filled Mu Yue's nostrils.

She immediately couldn't help but cough.

"Your Highness, let me have someone clean this up. Please come back once the dust has settled!"

Mu Yue had stopped coughing.

She waved her hand, indicating that Chunju didn't need to worry, and strode into the house.

There were many medical books in the room, and Mu Yue deliberately walked towards the dustier area.

The dustiness indicates that no one has been here for a long time, so it's safer to include information about smallpox prevention here.

Mu Yue casually pulled out some yellowed medical books, carefully checking that no one had looked at them in a short time. Satisfied, she took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and tore open the smallpox prevention manual stored in her system space, stuffing it into the medical books.

"I'm somewhat interested in these medical books, so I'll take them with me!"

The others in the Imperial Hospital were drawn by the noise of the door being pounded on.

Seeing Mu Yue casually taking the medical book and about to leave, one of the imperial physicians, who had a good relationship with Imperial Physician Li, immediately stepped forward to stop her.

He frowned, his tone somewhat displeased, "Your Highness probably doesn't even know a few characters, yet you want to read medical books? Isn't that a bit too much of an overstatement?"

"Moreover, the Imperial Medical Academy has its own rules. Medical books here cannot be taken away at will. Even the slightest damage would be a huge loss for the Imperial Medical Academy!"

Some people are close to Dean Li, while others are naturally dissatisfied with his behavior.

No sooner had the imperial physician finished speaking than a young voice rang out, "Is it the Imperial Medical Academy that forbids it, or is it Director Li who forbids it?"

"The Imperial Medical Academy has become a one-man show by Director Li. Before Director Li joined the Imperial Medical Academy, it wasn't so difficult for people in the Academy to read medical books. You can't improve your medical skills by sticking to the old ways!"

Mu Yue couldn't help but become more interested in the person who said this.

She looked up in the direction from which the sound came.

The first thing I saw was a man who looked to be in his thirties.

The man was standing at the gate of the courtyard, and it was clear that he had just arrived.

Judging from the man's age and his official robes, Mu Yue guessed that he must have just entered the Imperial Hospital.

That's why they have the courage to do that.

If no one protects him, given Li Yuanshi's status in the Imperial Hospital, he would likely be suppressed soon, and might even lose his life.

Sure enough, no sooner had this man finished speaking than someone pointed at his nose and cursed, "Zhang Hai, what right do you, a mere servant who just entered the Imperial Hospital, have to speak here!"

"Academician Li is a highly skilled physician and a righteous man. We are willing to follow his orders."

Zhang Hai knew that his future would likely be affected after he said those words.

Unless someone of high status appreciates you, it will be meaningless to change your mind now.

So, in a fit of desperation, he said, "The true master of the Imperial Medical Academy is His Majesty, not Chief Physician Li."

"I heard that Imperial Physician Li angered His Majesty yesterday and was flogged. I wonder how his buttocks are now?"

These words were laced with sarcasm.

Those around Li Yuanshi who disliked him almost couldn't help but laugh.

Mu Yue, however, did not need to restrain her emotions like others.

She glanced at Zhang Hai and asked, "You seem to have a lot of grievances against Dean Li. Has he ever bullied you?"

As soon as Mu Yue spoke, the group that had been arguing fell silent and all looked in her direction.

Zhang Hai suddenly realized that the benefactor who could protect him was right in front of him.

He immediately said, "Your Highness, this humble subject greets you!"

"Academician Li has never bullied me. It's just that I can't stand people who take other people's things for themselves. If it weren't for Academician Li's stubbornness, His Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't have almost lost his breath!"

After these words were spoken, the entire courtyard fell silent.

Even people who usually had a good relationship with Zhang Hai kept giving him meaningful glances, telling him to shut up.

If some things are exposed, it won't just be Dean Li who suffers.

They will also be involved.

Someone couldn't help but step forward to pull Zhang Hai away, saying, "Zhang Hai, are you out of your mind? What nonsense are you talking about!"

As if he knew their thoughts in advance, Zhang Hai easily dodged the hand that was being reached towards him.

He glanced at the man who had spoken, and said, "Whether what I said is true or false, you know in your hearts!"

"I am well aware of the consequences of my words, but there are some things that I cannot refrain from doing just because I am worried about the consequences!"

"If you're afraid of Dean Li, then let me be the one to stick my neck out!"

Even if the price is my own life!

He was unwilling to let Academician Li continue to stay in the Imperial Hospital.

Such a person, if kept in the Imperial Medical Academy, would only disregard human life and would not be worthy of being a physician.

"You mean Brother Baocheng almost got into trouble, and it was related to Imperial Physician Li?"

Mu Yue's curiosity vanished completely, leaving only anger.

If Bao Cheng's matter is truly related to Imperial Physician Li, no matter how skilled he is or how many people are protecting him, she will not let it go so easily.

She believed that as long as she handed over the contents of the "Smallpox Prevention Manual," even if she acted first and reported later, and punished the Imperial Physician Li, her father would not blame her.

Having made up her mind, Mu Yue immediately said, "As long as you tell the truth, promotion and advancement are just around the corner. You know my identity, so I would never lie to you about something like this!"

Upon hearing this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Zhang Hai's face.

Ignoring the fearful gazes of his companions, he knelt down before Mu Yue with a thud, "Your Highness, this humble subject thanks you!"

"Everything I say next is true."
