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

Su Yao's reputation for kindness spread like wildfire throughout the capital, and the threshold of the General's Mansion was nearly worn down by people seeking medical treatment. Su Yao welcomed everyone without hesitation, treating each patient with utmost care, and her life became busy and fulfilling. However, she remained unaware that danger was closing in step by step.

Su Wan was confined to her quarters after her previous attempt to frame Su Yao failed, and her hatred for Su Yao intensified, coiling within her like a venomous snake. During her confinement, she plotted day and night how to take revenge on Su Yao and ruin her reputation.

"Mother, you must help your daughter! I absolutely cannot let that bitch Su Yao continue to be so smug!" Su Wan cried to the Second Madam, who had come to visit her, in her room.

The second wife frowned, her eyes filled with malice, and said, "Wan'er, don't worry, your mother will definitely find a way. Su Yao is now very popular in the manor, we can no longer act rashly as before, we must plan carefully."

Meanwhile, in another residence in the capital, a woman dressed in fine clothes sat before her dressing table, listening to her maid report on Su Yao. Her eyes revealed jealousy and resentment, and she gripped the comb tightly in her hand, as if it would snap at any moment.

"Hmph, this Su Yao is just a young lady from a general's mansion, yet she dares to show off like this. I'd like to see how long she can be so smug!" This woman was none other than Lin Yan'er, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, who was rumored to be engaged to the Crown Prince.

It turned out that the Crown Prince had heard of Su Yao's talent and medical skills and developed a strong interest in her, even praising her publicly at a banquet. This aroused Lin Yan'er's jealousy, and she saw Su Yao as a thorn in her side, deciding to join forces with Su Wan to deal with her.

Meanwhile, Su Yao continued to busy herself with treating patients and studying medicine every day. One day, while she was organizing medicinal herbs, Cui'er rushed in and said, "Miss, something terrible has happened! A group of people have come outside, saying that you have harmed someone and they want to demand an explanation."

Su Yao was startled. She had always been cautious and careful in her medical practice and had never made a mistake. She calmly said, "Cui'er, don't panic, take me to see her first."

Upon arriving at the gate, they saw a group of people standing there angrily. Leading them was a middle-aged man holding a child in his arms. He shouted, "You're Su Yao? Look at this! My child only had a cough before, but after taking the medicine you prescribed, his condition worsened, and now he's unconscious. You quack, you must give me an explanation today!"

Su Yao stepped forward and carefully examined the child's condition, her mind filled with doubt. Her prescription should never have resulted in this situation, and the child's symptoms didn't seem to be caused by the medication.

"Sir, please calm down. I can assure you that the medicine I prescribed is safe. Could you please let me take another closer look at the child's condition?" Su Yao said sincerely.

But the man wouldn't listen to her explanation, insisting it was Su Yao's fault and even inciting the people around to blame her. Su Yao knew she was in trouble today.

Just then, Xiao Yichen happened to pass by the General's Mansion. He saw a crowd gathered at the entrance and a bad premonition rose in his heart. He dismounted and walked into the crowd, and saw Su Yao being surrounded and attacked by the crowd. His face immediately turned gloomy.

"Stop right now!" Xiao Yichen shouted, his voice carrying an innate air of authority.

When everyone saw the prince arrive, they dared not be presumptuous anymore and all quieted down.

Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xiao Yichen and said, "Your Highness, what brings you here?"

Xiao Yichen walked to Su Yao's side and asked with concern, "Miss Su, what happened?"

Su Yao briefly recounted what had happened, and Xiao Yichen's eyes showed a hint of doubt after listening. He turned to the man and said, "You said the child's condition worsened after taking Miss Su's medicine, do you have any evidence?"

The man's eyes darted around, and he stammered, "My...my child is like this because he took her medicine, and this is the proof."

Xiao Yichen sneered and said, "Hmph, I think you have ulterior motives. Guards, take this child back to the palace and let my physician examine her carefully. If I find out that you deliberately framed Miss Su, you'll be in deep trouble!"

Upon hearing this, the man turned pale with fright and tried to run away. However, Xiao Yichen's guards had already surrounded him, leaving him with no way to escape.

After the group brought the child back to the palace, the palace physician examined him carefully and discovered that the child had been poisoned with a slow-acting poison, not by Su Yao's medicine. Moreover, this poison was extremely rare and difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

Upon learning the result, Xiao Yichen's face turned ashen. He said, "It seems someone deliberately framed Miss Su. I will definitely find out who's behind this and make them pay!"

Su Yao was grateful for Xiao Yichen's help and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for finding out the truth for me. If Your Highness had not appeared in time today, I would have been unable to defend myself."

Xiao Yichen looked at Su Yao with gentle yet firm eyes and said, "Miss Su, don't worry, with me here, I won't let anyone hurt you."

After this incident, Su Yao became even more cautious. She knew that her reputation and safety had aroused jealousy and resentment among some people, and the days ahead would probably not be peaceful.

Xiao Yichen also began to investigate the matter secretly. Relying on his power and wisdom, he quickly uncovered some clues. He discovered that this matter was closely related to Su Wan and Lin Yan'er.

"Hmph, how dare these two women be so audacious!" Xiao Yichen was furious. He decided not to alert them and wait for the right opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

In the general's mansion, Su Yao continued to dedicate herself to treating the sick. She knew she bore a mission to save lives and could not abandon it because of these conspiracies. At the same time, she constantly improved her medical skills, hoping to better cope with various diseases and dangers.

One day, while Su Yao was strolling in the garden, she suddenly encountered a mysterious old man. The old man was dressed in black, with a thin face, but his eyes revealed a deep and mysterious quality.

"Young lady, are you Su Yao?" the old man asked.

Su Yao looked at the old man warily and said, "Indeed, may I ask who you are?"

The old man smiled slightly and said, "I have heard of your superb medical skills, young lady, and have come to see you. Your medical skills are the result of your talent and hard work, and you are destined for greatness. However, you should also be wary of the villains around you; they will not let you off easily."

After speaking, the old man turned and left, leaving Su Yao standing there, filled with doubt. She didn't understand the old man's identity or purpose, but his words made her even more wary.

As time went by, the feelings between Su Yao and Xiao Yichen quietly deepened. Although they didn't meet often, each time they did, they could feel the longing and care in each other's hearts. However, they both knew that in this complex situation, their relationship faced many tests and obstacles.

In this capital city rife with intrigue and conspiracy, how will Su Yao face the challenges ahead? What will become of her relationship with Xiao Yichen? Everything remains uncertain…
