“Don’t talk nonsense! She is Shu Li’s daughter. Do you think you can tarnish Shu Li’s medical skills?” Chu Mingyuan shouted angrily, his expression more serious than when he learned about the empress’s plot against Consort Xiang.

It was clear that he held great respect for Su Yingxue’s mother.

He instructed Su Yingxue to rise and said, “Although you were wrong to deceive me, considering that you did it for the sake of practicing medicine and saving lives, I will not pursue the matter. Furthermore, since you have cured Xiang’er, I will reward you generously!”

A hint of surprise crossed Su Yingxue’s eyes, but she still expressed her gratitude by kowtowing. “Thank you, Emperor!”

“There is one more thing.” After Su Yingxue stood up, Chu Mingyuan looked at her with a gentle gaze. “Since you have inherited Shu Li’s medical skills, you should carry on her legacy. Shu Li was straightforward, and you don’t need to conceal your identity anymore. Be an upright physician. If some patients refuse to seek treatment from you because of your identity, it’s their fault. Don’t be upset about it, understood?”

His words carried earnest admonishment and a touch of consolation, providing a sense of reassurance.

However, Su Yingxue remained concerned. “Emperor, I dare to be impudent and ask if you knew my mother and were acquainted with her. Do you know the cause of my mother’s death?”

“I know your mother, but she has passed away. You don’t need to ask about these matters anymore. Focus on your duties.” Chu Mingyuan’s words held profound meaning. He gave Su Yingxue various rewards, and even sent Lan Ling to personally escort her back to the Marquis’s Manor.

“Emperor, you can’t let her go like this! Ye’er has gone missing. She must have taken him away!” The empress had no choice but to reveal this matter, her eyes filled with anger.

It would have been acceptable if she had been able to kill Su Yingxue, but now that Su Yingxue had received the emperor’s recognition and protection, Chu Chengye’s safety was at risk!

If Su Yingxue were to do anything to him…

“How could he go missing? If news spreads about a prince of the imperial family disappearing, it would be a laughingstock. If I learn the truth, I will certainly punish the culprits severely!” Chu Mingyuan’s words seemed like a reprimand directed at the empress, but his gaze ultimately fell on Su Yingxue.

Su Yingxue understood that Chu Mingyuan was indirectly instructing her to release Chu Chengye.

He probably didn’t want her to dwell on the matter between her and the empress any longer.

Considering Chu Mingyuan’s kind treatment towards her, she could let him go. However, she would continue investigating her mother’s cause of death, which she would investigate the empress.

“Emperor, Xiang’er is tired.”

Consort Xiang, seeing that Su Yingxue’s matter had been resolved, no longer tried to endure her pain.

Having returned from the brink of death, she truly felt the extreme weakness of her body.

After Chu Mingyuan confirmed that Consort Xiang was fine, he entrusted her treatment to the court physician and allowed Su Yingxue to leave.

Su Yingxue was initially worried about Consort Xiang, but before she could speak, Su Yurou took advantage of the situation. “Emperor, my sister possesses exceptional medical skills. Let her treat Consort Xiang.”

Initially, Chu Mingyuan had not paid attention to her, but upon hearing her words, he recalled that she had previously called Su Yingxue a fool and attempted to frame her. He immediately furrowed his brow. “Impudence! Are you suggesting that the court physicians in my palace lack skill?”

Su Yurou hurriedly knelt, tears trembling on her delicate face. “Emperor, I didn’t mean that. I only thought that my sister’s medical skills were outstanding, so…”

“Why didn’t you mention her exceptional medical skills earlier then?” Chu Mingyuan interrogated Su Yurou, and she was so overwhelmed by the pressure that she dared not speak any further.

Since Chu Mingyuan had already begun reprimanding her, he decided to say a few more words..
