Their movements were subtle, yet they still caught the keen eye of the meticulous eunuch Liu.

"Oh~" Eunuch Liu said with a smile, "Won't you old physicians come and take a look? This is a prescription given to His Majesty by the divine physician Xiao Lin. If there is anything wrong with it, are you all just going to stand by and do nothing?"

Standing idly by is absolutely out of the question!

A large portion of the people in the Imperial Medical Academy were risking their lives, not entirely for their medical skills, but also for their patients.

After all, those who needed their medical treatment were either emperors or concubines, none of whom were easy to deal with.

Even the most skilled doctor cannot always have the chance to bring the patient back to life. If the emperor, his concubines, or princes have any problems, regardless of whether it is their fault, they are very likely to lose their lives.

Upon hearing the reminder from the smiling eunuch Liu, several old imperial physicians quickly stroked their beards and pretended to be nonchalant as they approached to take a look.

But who knew that as the childish handwriting appeared on the blank paper, their eyes widened even more!

"This...this prescription...is this not the 'Secret Essentials of Lingxiao Medical Classic,' a medical masterpiece that was lost a hundred years ago!" an old doctor suddenly exclaimed.

He was one of the older people among them, and he had heard people mention this medical masterpiece before.

Unfortunately, this medical master was a real oddball. He didn't want to be recruited into the Imperial Hospital and live a life of constant danger like them. Instead, he went out into the martial arts world to stir up trouble, still living a life of constant risk!

After all, those who roam the martial arts world might not be as reasonable as those emperors.

The most fatal flaw was that this medical master was stingy his whole life and couldn't even leave behind a single disciple, which led to his medical skills gradually disappearing into the long river of time.

It was only because this old doctor had heard some legends that he was able to know the characteristics of the prescriptions used by that medical master.

That was both thrilling and dangerous.

The imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Academy mostly used mild medications, meaning that taking too much wouldn't kill you, but taking too little wouldn't be very effective, and it was difficult to cure the disease completely.

But that medical master is quite different. He uses medicine with great risk and danger, and many of them are even poisons. But as long as they are well-matched, even poisons can nourish the body.

The prescription written by Lin Ziqiu contains one of the two highly poisonous ingredients, but when combined with other ingredients, they not only lose their toxicity but also nourish the spleen and stomach.

"This medicine must not be used! Both of these medicines are poisons. It's one thing if you're just a child and don't recognize them, but you must not use them. These can kill people." Apart from the old imperial physician shouting in surprise, the other imperial physicians, who were a little younger, did not know the key to this matter and mainly frowned deeply.

"But my master said it's alright. This stuff is the only thing that can truly help His Majesty recuperate and cure his chronic illness. Otherwise, with your mild medicines, even if you take them for a hundred years, it won't do any good and will just be a waste."

"Could it be that after all these years, you've never even heard the saying 'no destruction, no construction'? You've really wasted your lives!" Lin Ziqiu imitated his master, raising his chin and picking his nose with his little finger.

"..." The imperial physicians were so angry at the child's attitude that they turned pale.

It was the same elderly physician who stepped forward to stop his colleagues, saying, "You don't need to say anything more. Although this prescription looks dangerous, I think it makes some sense."

“Your Excellency, it’s not that we can’t see the logic in this prescription! It’s just that the logic doesn’t apply to His Majesty. I would be willing to try it on anyone else, or even on myself, but this is His Majesty!” another imperial physician said.

After all, if he takes the medicine himself, he'll only be the one who dies.

But if you kill the emperor, that's when his entire family will be wiped out.

In order to ensure that his entire family could keep their heads intact, the imperial physician finally couldn't help but offer a reminder.

Upon hearing this, even the old physician who greatly admired the legendary medical master Hu Jiuyuan had no choice but to fall silent.

In the end, Qi Sichen, who had listened to their conversation from the sidelines, made the decision. He first glanced at Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan said firmly, "He is someone brought by Wanwan, and I trust Wanwan."

"So you've only been eyeing my sister all along! My brother and I consider you friends, how could I possibly harm you? Besides, this is a prescription given to me by my master, so it's bound to be correct!" Lin Ziqiu, who was listening from the side, was somewhat displeased.

Qi Yuan smiled and went to comfort him.

Since Qi Yuan himself was willing to use it, Qi Sichen said to the old imperial physician, "Take this prescription and go to collect the herbs and brew the medicine. Under no circumstances should you entrust it to anyone else. As for whether this prescription will be effective, that depends on you."

"Yes..." The old physician was moved to tears. He couldn't even remember his own family at that moment. His hands trembled as he took the prescription from Lin Ziqiu and walked outside.

Qi Sichen, Lin Wanyue, and the others could all see that the old physician was quite accomplished in medicine, but he was simply too old for Hu Jiuyuan to take him as a disciple.

However, with him personally guarding the area, there was no need to worry about those hiding in the shadows playing tricks.

Someone went outside to brew the medicine, and Qi Yuan was already whispering to Lin Zihan.

Qi Sichen then pulled Lin Wanyue onto his lap and mentioned that Qi Yuan's birthday was at the beginning of next month.

The emperor's birthday was a major event these days, the kind where the whole country would pray for His Majesty.

Of course, there was little that the common people could do, but the palace had to hold a banquet. Qi Sichen was also willing to bring good luck to Qi Yuan, because people recover faster when they are happy.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly telling me this, Godfather?" Lin Wanyue thought what he said made a lot of sense, and then suddenly remembered, "I will definitely prepare a gift for Brother Yuan."

Qi Sichen smiled, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Since Wanwan is so smart, why don't you guess why I'm telling you this?"

Lin Wanyue pondered deeply, her two little eyebrows furrowed together. After a long while, she finally had a vague idea, so she simply asked Qi Sichen, "Does Godfather think this is an opportunity?"

"What opportunity?" Qi Sichen pressed on.

"An opportunity to expose the mastermind?" Lin Wanyue said confidently, following this line of thought.

Qi Sichen's beautiful eyes held a hint of appreciation, and his smile grew even gentler: "Tell me again?"

“Godfather, didn’t you tell us that they would show their true colors sooner or later? But if they keep quiet, it will be difficult for us to arrest them… But if something happens in the palace, they will definitely try to get involved. The more they do, the more mistakes they will make. Then we can catch them by the tail and use it as a fur coat!” Lin Wanyue looked intently at Qi Sichen, waiting for her praise.
