Phoenix Dance: The Eldest Daughter's Physician Consort Shocks the World

Su Yao gazed in the direction Xiao Yichen had left, her heart unable to find peace. His words, "If you encounter any trouble in the future, just send someone to inform me," echoed in her ears, giving her a sense of warmth and reassurance. But she also knew that she couldn't always rely on others; she needed to have enough ability to protect herself and those around her.

After that, Su Yao devoted herself even more diligently to studying medicine. With the medical knowledge she had learned in her previous life and her practical experience in the manor during this period, her medical skills became increasingly refined.

One day, an old nanny in the general's mansion suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma, and the mansion's doctors were all helpless. Upon learning of this, Su Yao took the initiative to go and check on her.

She went to the old nanny's room and saw that the old nanny was pale and breathing weakly. Su Yao sat by the bed, carefully took her pulse, and examined her tongue and eyes. She already had a diagnosis in mind.

"This is a case of overwork leading to illness, coupled with an unbalanced diet recently, resulting in excessive dampness in the body, which caused her to faint," Su Yao said softly.

The maidservant beside her asked anxiously, "Miss, what should we do? You must save Granny."

Su Yao nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll write a prescription for you. Go and get the medicine according to the prescription, and I'll decoct it myself when you get back."

After writing the prescription, Su Yao sent her maid to fetch the medicine. She stayed in the room, watching over the old nanny, wiping the sweat from her forehead from time to time, and observing the changes in her condition.

After the medicine was prepared, Su Yao carefully fed it to the old nanny. After a while, the old nanny's complexion gradually regained some color, and her breathing became much more stable.

Several hours later, the old nanny slowly woke up. Looking at Su Yao who was guarding her bedside, her eyes were full of gratitude, and she said weakly, "Miss, you saved my life. I am so grateful."

Su Yao smiled and said, "Granny, please don't say that. You have served in the manor for many years and have always been dedicated to your work. Now that you are ill, it is only natural that I will do everything I can to save you."

The old nanny's story quickly spread throughout the General's Mansion, and everyone praised Su Yao's medical skills. When the grandmother learned of this, she also looked at Su Yao with new respect, saying, "I never expected Yao'er to have such medical skills. It is truly a blessing for our General's Mansion."

Upon learning of this, Su Wan was filled with jealousy. She knew she couldn't let Su Yao steal the spotlight, so she devised a plan.

A few days later, Su Wan brought a woman who claimed to be her distant cousin to the General's Mansion. This woman was named Lin, with a delicate face but a cunning look in her eyes.

"Sister, this is my cousin, Lin. I've heard that you are a skilled doctor, and my cousin has been feeling unwell lately. She would like to ask you to take a look at her," Su Wan said with a forced smile.

Su Yao looked at them and knew that this was probably another of Su Wan's tricks, but she didn't want people to think that she was not good at medicine, so she said, "Alright, I'll take a look first."

Su Yao took Lin's pulse and found it to be steady, indicating no serious illness. Puzzled, she looked up at Lin and said, "Miss Lin, your pulse is normal. Is there anything wrong with your body?"

Lin's eyes darted around as she said, "I...I've been having splitting headaches lately, and I feel weak all over. I don't know what's wrong."

Su Yao carefully observed Lin's complexion and expression, becoming even more certain that she was faking illness. So, she said calmly, "Miss Lin's illness is a bit tricky. I need to go back to my room to get some special medicinal herbs. Please wait here for a moment."

After Su Yao returned to her room, she told Cui'er about the incident. Cui'er said angrily, "Miss, this must be Second Miss and that Lin family conspiring to frame you. You must not fall for their trick."

Su Yao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Cui'er, I have a plan."

Su Yao lingered in the room for a while, then came out with some common medicinal herbs. She said to Madam Lin, "Miss Lin, this is the medicine I prepared. Take it home and decoct it once a day for three consecutive days. You should see some improvement."

Lin took the medicine, secretly pleased, thinking that Su Yao was sure to embarrass herself now. She took the medicine as Su Yao had instructed, but to her surprise, by evening she really started to have a splitting headache, and was also vomiting and having diarrhea, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

It turned out that although the medicinal herbs Su Yao gave her were ordinary, their clever combination could induce symptoms similar to illness. Upon learning of Lin's condition, Su Wan panicked and didn't know what to do.

After learning of this, Lin's family came to the General's Mansion to demand an explanation. Su Yao, however, calmly revealed the truth, and everyone then realized that Lin and Su Wan had deliberately framed her.

When Grandmother learned of this, she was furious and sternly reprimanded Su Wan, saying, "Wan'er, how can you, as a young lady of the General's Mansion, be so narrow-minded as to do such a thing as framing your sister? If you are not severely punished today, who knows what kind of trouble you will cause in the future."

Su Wan was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy. But her grandmother did not soften her heart this time. She punished her by confining her to her quarters for a month and making her copy the "Rules for Women" one hundred times.

After this incident, Su Yao's prestige in the General's Mansion rose even higher. Su Wan, on the other hand, suffered a dramatic drop in reputation, and everyone avoided her like the plague.

Xiao Yichen had also heard about Su Yao's renowned medical skills, and his admiration for her grew even stronger. He specially sent some precious medicinal herbs to the General's Mansion to express his congratulations and support.

Su Yao was deeply moved after receiving the medicinal herbs. She knew that Xiao Yichen was silently caring for her. Although they didn't meet often, Xiao Yichen always appeared at crucial moments to help her overcome difficulties.

That day, Su Yao took her loyal dog out to buy some medicinal herbs. On the street, she encountered a ragged old woman who was crying by the roadside, holding a sick child.

Feeling pity, Su Yao stepped forward to inquire about the situation. It turned out that the old woman was poor, and her child had fallen ill but had no money for treatment, causing the condition to worsen.

Without hesitation, Su Yao took out her own money to buy medicine for the child and personally examined him. After taking the medicine prescribed by Su Yao, the child's condition gradually improved.

The old woman was moved to tears, and holding Su Yao's hand, she said, "Young lady, you are a Bodhisattva descended to earth. Thank you for saving my child."

Su Yao smiled and said, "Auntie, please don't say that. It's what I should do."

Su Yao's good deeds were witnessed by the surrounding people, who praised her kindness and medical skills. As a result, Su Yao gradually gained some fame in the capital, and many people knew that there was a young lady in the General's Mansion with superb medical skills and a kind heart.

However, Su Yao's fame also attracted jealousy and resentment from some. Some with ulterior motives began to plot against her. But Su Yao remained oblivious to these potential dangers, continuing to focus on her medical research and practice, hoping to help more people.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yichen was also secretly monitoring Su Yao's every move. He sensed that Su Yao might be facing some danger, so he increased patrols and protection around the General's Mansion to ensure Su Yao's safety.

In this seemingly peaceful capital city, a conspiracy is quietly brewing, and Su Yao is about to face even greater challenges and tests.
