Peerless Physician: The Path of a Foolish Eldest Daughter's Rise to Power

As they left Tianxiang Tower, Xia He quietly told Gu Xinyue that Ling San had informed the Prince that the Emperor had summoned him. This man is formidable; he's summoned by the Emperor yet remains nonchalant. As a prince, he has the right to be capricious.

Having found a blacksmith shop, Gu Xinyue looked at the iron tools they had made. They were a bit rough, so she asked the blacksmith if they could make them more refined.

“Young lady, I can make even more delicate pieces; I have a family tradition of craftsmanship.”

"I want it made of high-quality iron, price is not a problem." Gu Xinyue handed a blueprint to the craftsman, "Just make it to this size, exactly the same."

"Miss, I've never used this before, but I can try. When do you need it?"

"How long will it take, Master?"

"Ten days. You can come back in seven days."

"Okay." Chun Tao paid a deposit of 10 taels of silver. When they left, Gu Xinyue saw a piece of porcelain the size of an egg.

"Master, how much are your magnets? I want some."

"It's not very useful, you can take it if you want."

Gu Xinyue thanked you, Master, and came out happily.

"Let's go to Huimin Medical Clinic to buy some medicinal herbs."

In the imperial study, the Emperor asked Chu Yize how he had been cured of the poison, requesting a detailed explanation. Chu Yize found it strange, as he had already mentioned it in his letter, but he still recounted how Gu Xinyue had saved him. He also presented Eunuch Ji with a prescription for both the plague and a cold, which the Emperor examined.

"Summon Physician Sun."

"Are you sure it's true? Gu Yong's mentally challenged granddaughter actually knows medicine, and her medical skills are quite high."

“Father, she’s not stupid anymore.”

"She's protecting you now, but she doesn't fancy you. She's interested in Young Master Yang."

That's impossible. They've been through life and death together, and they just met. She didn't resist him holding her hand; how could she like someone else? But this person is Young Master Yang, who became the top scholar at 14. Could it be that Young Master Yang likes Xin Yue?

"How did Father find out?"

"Your great-uncle Prince Yi told me that Princess Yi is planning to arrange a marriage for Prince Yu." Chu Yize's heart skipped a beat.

"But Madam Gu declined." Chu Yize breathed a sigh of relief.

"It also reveals their intention to form a marriage alliance with the Yang family."

Emperor Yongfeng looked at Chu Yize's ever-changing face. He wanted to laugh, but there was no trace of laughter on his face. Unbeknownst to him, his son had grown up. This was his and Ling Xue's child. He hadn't had time to talk much about him yesterday, but today he took the time to find out how he had spent these years.

He needs to slowly repair his relationship with Ling Xue. Chao Yang has been visiting frequently these past few days, and the Third Prince should also visit her often. As long as she cares about the children, all relationships can be repaired.

"Spend more time with your mother in the future; she's had a tough time all these years."

Chu Yize wondered, was the Emperor concerned about his mother?

"it is good."

Sun, the imperial physician, took the prescription and examined it carefully. He was a very meticulous person, and since the emperor had summoned him only to review the prescription, he looked at it even more carefully.

Time slipped by unnoticed. Chu Yize, observing the changing expression on Physician Sun's face, was shocked to realize that Gu Xinyue's medical skills surpassed Physician Sun's. Indeed, Physician Sun had been helpless against the poison he had suffered years ago, while Gu Xinyue had resolved it with ease.

Emperor Yongfeng watched as Physician Sun's dilemma was even more dramatic than his son's earlier, and he wondered just how good Gu Xinyue's medical skills were.

Judge Sun's expression shifted dramatically: sometimes his brow furrowed, sometimes he was deep in thought, sometimes his face lit up with joy, sometimes his expression was grave, sometimes he was conflicted, and sometimes his face lit up with delight...

For a full quarter of an hour, "Hahaha." Judge Sun was overjoyed, then tears streamed down his face. He wiped away his tears and said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, this is a blessing for the Great Leap Dynasty. This is a prescription for the plague. Even if I had ten years, I could not have written such a prescription."

Emperor Yongfeng asked in shock, "Is it really a prescription for treating the plague?"

"Father, this prescription stabilized the epidemic in Panxian in just three days."

"Is the Doctor Gu you mentioned in your letters and urgent reports her?"

"Yes."

"Take a look at this prescription too."

Sun, the imperial physician, took the prescription, examined it carefully, thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, this is a prescription for treating colds. Several of the medicinal herbs here are combined in a wonderful way, and the effect should be very good. Both prescriptions are excellent, especially the plague prescription, which is priceless."

Emperor Yongfeng began to ponder. Gu Xinyue had the ability to marry into the Yang family, so she should not. Gu Yong had been fighting on the battlefield since he was a teenager and had served three emperors. The imperial prestige he had accumulated was not to be underestimated.

"Go and keep your mother company. All of you may leave."

Sun Yuanpan was eager to know which divine physician it was, but the emperor was deep in thought, so he dared not disturb him and hurriedly followed Chu Yize out.

"Your Highness, please wait."

"what happened?"

"Your Majesty, I wish to meet this divine physician."

"I'll ask her when I see her."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

As soon as Gu Xinyue returned to Lingmeng Pavilion, Shaoyao said, "Miss, the Second Miss has been waiting for you for quite a while."

As soon as Shaoyao finished speaking, Gu Xinrou came out of the room. "Third sister, you're finally back! You bought so many medicinal herbs, that must have cost a fortune."

She looked around, then moved closer to Gu Xinyue and said in a low voice, "Let's do business together and make money. Look, your medicinal herbs aren't cheap, are they?"

"Once you've established a successful business at the pastry shop, we can discuss the rest."

"Third sister, you are amazing."

"What's so impressive about that? Why are you back at the manor? Has Aunt Wu returned?"

"No, I just heard that person had a lot of bad luck today, like being startled by a horse, having a stomachache, or falling down, so I wanted to share my joy with you. Your words came true, so is it true that a deity helped you?"

"Those things have nothing to do with me." Gu Xinyue thought to herself that if there were gods, it was Chu Yize, not her.

As they walked and talked, they arrived at the pharmacy. Gu Xinrou said in surprise, "Third sister, I'll come to you whenever I have a headache or fever. I didn't know you had a pharmacy."

Gu Xinrou touched this and that, and when she saw the medicine that Gu Xinyue had prepared, she said excitedly, "Third sister, how effective are these medicines? If they are okay and won't kill anyone, you should open a pharmacy or clinic. You can make money that way. I reckon your medical skills are enough to support yourself."

The four maids looked at Gu Xinrou with strange eyes. Gu Xinrou thought Gu Xinyue's maids were really odd. Little did she know that the maids pitied her, and that she was unaware that there was a divine physician by her side.

Gu Xinrou saw the skin cream and asked, "Third sister, is this medicine? The white ointment smells nice, I like the scent."

"Back then, take two boxes of skin cream and use them with Aunt Wu. After you finish using them, give me your valuable feedback so I can make improvements."

"Okay, there are only two boxes left. If I take them, you won't have any left."

"I bought medicinal herbs today, and I'm going to make a new batch."

"Does Second Aunt use it too?"

"Yes, my mother has been using it."

"Let's open a cosmetics shop and sell the skincare creams you make."

"You're overthinking it. Skin creams can't be mass-produced right now. Production is very slow, and if the supply can't keep up, it's easy to run out of stock."

"It's better if we can't supply them all, that way we can sell them for a good price and make money off those noble ladies and wives."

"Don't be obsessed with money. Doing your current job well is the most important thing."

"Oh, I know. Wait for my news. Soon, another pastry shop will appear in the capital that everyone is scrambling to buy from."
