There was an uproar.

All the colleagues in the Imperial Hospital stopped what they were doing and looked at Shen Ci's face.

Shen Ci's fairly handsome face was severely swollen today. When Doctor Qi asked him about it this morning, he said he was bitten by an insect.

Everyone is still wondering where the bugs come from in this cold winter?

But he didn't expect that Shen Ruyi would show up and expose his past.

He was beaten for stealing the prescription.

It looked like there were indeed no signs of insect bites on Shen Ci's face. Instead, it looked like he had been slapped dozens of times from both sides.

This is going to be fun to watch.

Colleagues who had previously disliked his pretentiousness laughed at him, "Doctor Shen, aren't you usually the one who cares the most about propriety, righteousness, and integrity? Why are you doing such sneaky things now?"

"And what about the prescription?"

"Didn't you say before that you figured it out yourself? Why does it sound like that's not the case now?"

"You're not saying that you stole your sister's recipe to get yourself inlaid with gold, and then turned around and wanted to bully her and force her to apologize to Shen Jiaojiao?"

"If that's the case, it's really shameless!"

The chaotic sound was like one slap after another on Shen Ci's face.

Shen Ci's face felt hot.

At this point, I was so angry and embarrassed that I simply stopped trying to defend myself.

He looked at Shen Ruyi with a dark face and said, "Shen Ruyi, the prescription has been put into the Imperial Hospital. If he wants it, let him come and get it in person! Besides, it was you who gave me the prescription. Even if it caused trouble, it was because of you!"

"No."

Shen Ruyi denied him, "I gave you the recipes before with conditions. The first recipe was to ask you to fly a kite with me, but you broke your promise and went to buy candy figurines for Shen Jiaojiao."

"The second recipe was for me to ask you to speak for me in front of my father, asking him not to drive me to Xifeng Courtyard. But you stood on Shen Jiaojiao's side, allowing her to occupy my Ruyi Pavilion and drive me to the abandoned Xifeng Courtyard."

"The third prescription was for me to ask you to bring me allergy medicine, but you only brought Shen Jiaojiao's stomach cold medicine when you came back that day."

…

"For the eighteenth prescription, I asked you to tell the warehouse to send me some coal. But until last night, when you came to ask me for the prescription, you remembered that I had no coal fire in my room."

Shen Ruyi's eyes turned red when she said this. "The nineteenth recipe was given to you when I was kneeling on the ground, hugging your legs and begging you to believe that I really didn't frame Shen Jiaojiao. You took the recipe, but in the end, I still had to apologize to Shen Jiaojiao in exchange for the chance to get out of the woodshed."

"Brother, you haven't forgotten all this, have you?"

These are all evidence that she had tried to please him.

Shen Ci only took the prescription but did nothing.

"In front of others, you pretend to be decent and generous, and try to smooth things over everywhere. But in fact, what you want is a family reunion, and you always make me sensible and apologize without distinguishing right from wrong."

"Now, it's your turn to apologize to me."

“…”

The room was dead silent, and everyone stared at the brother and sister without blinking, their worldviews shattered by Shen Ruyi's words.

They had only heard that Shen Ruyi was jealous and could not tolerate the second daughter Shen Jiaojiao, which made the prime minister furious, so he forced her to apologize to Shen Jiaojiao in public.

Little did I know that there was a story behind this.

Someone couldn't stand it anymore and said directly: "Shen Ci, I didn't expect you to be such a person! How can you be so embarrassed to treat your own sister like this?"

"I never thought that the Shen family actually had such a mess of dirty things hidden. It's really eye-opening."

Everyone shook their heads and disenchanted with the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Doctor Qi couldn't bear to listen any longer.

"Shen Ci, what do you say?"

He looked at Shen Ci, his expression becoming extremely ugly, "If those prescriptions are not clean, then the Imperial Hospital will not accept them. If you really can't explain it clearly, let the Dali Temple investigate this matter."

"The Imperial Hospital cannot bear such a stigma."

He was honest throughout his life, and the Imperial Hospital under his leadership was spotless. It was because of this that the emperor had many children and even in the harem there were few concubines and children who died.

He was about to retire, but something like this happened.

For a moment, it was inevitable to feel a little angry.

When Shen Ci heard what he said, he thought about losing the wealth and glory that he was about to obtain. He immediately turned his head with bloodshot eyes and said, "Mr. Qi, don't listen to her nonsense! Without what she said, the recipe is very clean!"

"She has always been a hypocrite. Nothing she says is true. You can't trust her!"

Shen Ci said, turning his head to threaten Shen Ruyi, "Ruyi, you are my sister, I won't bother with you. As long as you stop making trouble, I can ask my father for mercy after I go back and spare you the family punishment this time! Otherwise..."

"What else?"

A cold voice suddenly came from the door, retorting his words.

This sound is very special and anyone who has heard it will never forget it.

Everyone in the room looked at each other and whispered, "The voice of the Ninth Prince?"

"Ninth Prince?"

Doctor Qi was also startled. He hurriedly stepped forward to lift the door curtain and looked at the person outside. "It's so cold, why did His Highness come here in person? If you need anything, just tell me!"

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Shen Ruyi with a strange look.

He watched the Ninth Prince grow up.

The Ninth Prince was a cold person and seldom interacted with anyone, let alone female relatives, and even the men he could get along with were few and far between.

But he didn't expect that he would stand up for Shen Ruyi and directly confront the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shen Ruyi was looked at in bewilderment. She did not expect Rong Yanyan to suddenly appear. She came to her senses and hurried forward, "Ruyi greets His Highness."

Shen Ci came back to his senses and had to grit his teeth and say, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince."

He had a bad feeling, but it wasn't real.

Was the Ninth Prince speaking for Shen Ruyi and questioning him just now?

But why?

He really couldn't understand what Shen Ruyi could have done to make the Ninth Prince personally show up, so he carefully probed, "Ninth Prince, you just..."

Rong Yan ignored him and looked directly at Doctor Qi and answered his question, "I just got the prescription today and came to get the medicine. As you know, the genius doctor who suppressed the poison for me has a strange personality. He doesn't want others to see his prescription, so I had to come and get it myself."

Doctor Qi pondered the meaning of these words.

He was the emperor's personal physician and had been in the Imperial Medical Bureau since the time of the previous emperor. Having been in the palace for a lifetime, he had become an expert. Just a few words went through his mind and he knew the whole story.

The Ninth Prince came for Shen Ruyi.

Moreover, the recipe in the Ninth Prince's hand was most likely created by the same person as Shen Ruyi's!

Now, things are really troublesome.

He ignored Shen Ci and glanced at Shen Ruyi, then asked Rong Yan, "So, the genius doctor who gave Miss Shen the prescription is the one you are looking for, Your Highness?"
