The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

"Listen to me, everyone." Su Fuying stood on the steps, her light green robe making her look fresh and refined. Her face was as clear and bright as jade, and she had a warm smile on her face, like the warm spring sun, making people feel extremely warm and comfortable.

Gu Qibai watched her quietly from the side, a strange feeling that was hard to describe suddenly welling up in his heart.

He snapped back to reality, his ears burning slightly. He quickly shook his head, trying to banish these unrealistic thoughts from his mind.

Su Fuying smiled and said to the crowd below, "Due to limited quantities, we are launching a special event. Today, anyone who recharges 5,000 taels of silver at Renhetang will receive a free bottle of precious moisturizing cream! Moreover, you will have priority purchasing rights for the moisturizing cream in the future!"

Her words caused a stir, and she continued, "If you're willing to recharge 10,000 taels of silver, then whatever new products our shop launches in the future, you'll be the first lucky one to receive them for free!"

Before he finished speaking, gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd.

"What? Five thousand taels of silver? This is practically robbery!" a man couldn't help but exclaim.

“That’s right, it costs ten thousand taels of silver! Even elixirs and herbs aren’t worth that much money!” another person chimed in.

"Gentlemen, please listen to what this young master has to say first."

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Gu Qibai immediately came out to persuade them.

Having practiced medicine in the capital for so long, the servants in the wealthy and powerful families recognized him and gradually settled down to stay.

Su Fuying continued in a cheerful tone, "This recharge doesn't mean that the money can only be used to buy this one thing. This money is essentially stored in our store, and if you need to buy medicine or see a doctor in the future, it can be deducted from the money recharged today."

This way it's not a loss, but most of those queuing up today are servants from the mansion. They can't decide such a large sum of money on their own, so some of the smart ones immediately headed back to the mansion.

Several young ladies' carriages were parked nearby. After the servants quickly went forward to ask for their opinions, they returned and voiced their doubts:

"If your Renhetang absconds with the money, who will we turn to?"

Su Fuying smiled warmly, “I believe that none of you here are short of money. If you don’t trust Renhetang and think we will run away with the money, you don’t have to rush in. After all, Renhetang is a business, and we won’t ruin our reputation for such a small amount of money.”

Upon hearing this, many people showed hesitation on their faces.

Some people who were initially interested suddenly hesitated. Yes, how long would it take to save up so much money! What if they were really scammed? They'd have nowhere to cry then. They came to buy things yesterday full of excitement, only to be told they were sold out and would be raising prices later. They figured they might as well not buy them at all.

Who would have thought that after returning home, these people would find that their own mothers had also bought this ointment, and the effect was surprisingly good the next morning after using it. So, one person told ten, ten told a hundred, and they all flocked over.

Just then, a clear voice rang out: "How about I vouch for Young Master Fusu?" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in a dark blue robe walking over.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Su Fuying couldn't help but show a hint of surprise and softly called out, "Sixth Prince." Hearing that this person was actually a prince, everyone hurriedly knelt down and paid their respects.

"No need for formalities." After saying that, the young man stared at Su Fuying with a scrutinizing look.

Su Fuying thought to herself that this person was probably really sick. She wasn't familiar with him, and the last time they met at the palace banquet, he had a lewd smile on his face.

"Fusu? This is Fusu?"

From the crowd, a woman wearing a purple veil stepped forward.

"Exactly."

Su Fuying looked him up and down and realized that she didn't recognize him.

"I have long heard of your exceptional medical skills, young master. If I were to make a payment, would it be possible for us to have a private conversation?"

The woman had a gentle voice, and although she wore a veil, she was a great beauty in terms of her figure and appearance.

Seeing her so polite, Su Fuying readily agreed, "Of course, no problem."

"Ya Ya, bring me the money."

After giving instructions to the maid, the woman turned to ask, "Can His Highness the Sixth Prince really vouch for me?"

Xiao Junchen replied without hesitation, "Of course."

Although the sixth prince was not favored, he was still a prince, which reassured the others.

"Sixth Prince..."

Su Fuying was about to say that she didn't need him to act as a guarantor, since she didn't seem to know this sixth prince, and who knew what he was up to.

"Here is ten thousand taels, Young Master Fusu, please take a look."

The woman in the purple veil interrupted her, took a thick stack of silver notes from the maid, and handed them to Su Fuying.

Looking at the stack of silver notes, Su Fuying swallowed the words she was about to say.

Forget it, how could I not take advantage of this? What bad intentions he might have are a matter for the future, why worry about him now?

"That must be Miss Bai, the daughter of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review."

"It seems so. She's been wearing a veil ever since that incident."

"Shh, keep your voice down."

After the first person arrived, soon the others waved their silver notes and shouted, "Young Master Fusu, my lady also invites you!"

"My wife would also like to invite you to our residence."

"And me, Doctor Fusu."

Over the past month, the name of Doctor Fusu in the capital has become widely known. Rumors say he can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. I didn't believe it at first, but some people who had treated him also gave him their affirmation.

Therefore, everyone who saw it today wanted to test whether the rumors were true.

Seeing so many people, Su Fuying cleared her throat and said, "Those who recharge 10,000 taels can enjoy two free medical consultations per year."

As soon as she finished speaking, the previously noisy voices below instantly quieted down by more than half, with only a few people stepping forward with silver in their hands.

Before leaving, Su Fuying turned to Gu Qibai and instructed, "Dr. Gu, please register the customers who recharged today according to their prices, and register those who need medical treatment separately."

"Ok."

Gu Qibai had just recovered from his surprise. He really hadn't expected that this young master Fusu was not only a skilled physician, but also so adept at business.

The veiled woman followed Su Fuying into the inner room. After Su Fuying sat down, she immediately asked, "What's wrong, young lady?"

Upon hearing this, the woman remained silent for a moment, as if she were mentally preparing herself, before slowly lifting her veil.

She had a classic oval face, bright and captivating large eyes that revealed a hint of melancholy; her eyebrows were arched like a painting, and her lips were red and alluring—she was stunningly beautiful.

However, a dark mark on her right cheek completely ruined the beauty of the scene.
