"What's so great about her? Although she could tell at a glance that I was afflicted with the Heart-Eating Gu, she had no way to cure me."
Just as Qin Shuang was amazed by Su Liluo's medical skills, Princess Cheng couldn't help but scoff.
In her view, someone who couldn't break the curse wasn't considered powerful.
At this moment, Qin Shuang was even more shocked when she heard these words.
"You're saying the Crown Princess saw through the Heart-Eating Gu at a glance? Didn't she check by taking your pulse?"
"Yes, she noticed it. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Princess Cheng said casually.
But after she finished speaking, she noticed that Qin Shuang's expression was a bit strange, and realized that Qin Shuang seemed to have checked her pulse for quite a while before she realized that she had been poisoned by a Gu.
If she can't tell at a glance that she's been poisoned like the Crown Princess, can she still remove the poison from herself?
Is she not a good doctor?
Princess Cheng couldn't help but worry.
With a look of anxiety, he immediately asked, "What's wrong? Doctor Qin, can you remove this curse from me?"
Qin Shuang finally snapped out of her shock and doubt.
He calmly replied, "Of course it's possible, but Princess Cheng might suffer a bit. After the Gu is removed, your body will be weak for a while, so you'll need to take good care of yourself."
Princess Cheng was immediately relieved upon hearing this, and a smile appeared on her face.
At the same time, she praised Qin Shuang, saying, "Doctor Qin is really amazing. Unlike the Crown Princess, who knows I'm under a curse but doesn't have your ability to cure me."
Qin Shuang smiled faintly and remained silent. She knew that the Crown Princess was not incapable of removing the curse; she simply did not want to help Princess Cheng.
She wasn't interested in their past grievances; all she wanted to do was learn more about the Crown Princess and find out if what she was looking for was on the Crown Princess or the divine physician the Crown Princess had mentioned.
An hour later, Qin Shuang completely cured Princess Cheng of the Gu poison.
Princess Cheng's complexion instantly turned from rosy to pale. She walked into the princess's residence and was eventually carried out.
At the same time, Consort Liu coughed up a mouthful of blood inside the palace, feeling as if she had been stabbed.
"Quickly, summon the imperial physician! The Imperial Concubine has vomited blood!"
The palace maids inside the Imperial Concubine's palace screamed in panic.
A look of disbelief flashed across Consort Liu's eyes. Who on earth had cured this Heart-Eating Gu?
The person she sent to monitor her told her, "Didn't the Crown Princess say she couldn't solve it?"
Could it be that Princess Cheng has found some expert?
After Qin Shuang removed the curse from Princess Cheng, she quietly went to the Su residence.
She thought she should try to learn more about this Crown Princess.
The Su residence.
Su Wanshi's injuries have only healed a little in the past two days. However, because she was beaten twice in the past six months, it has had some impact on her body, leaving some unsightly scars.
She was worried and wanted to ask Qin Shuang for some scar removal medicine, but unexpectedly, Qin Shuang took the initiative to come to her door.
Su Wanshi and Jiang Qinshu received Qin Shuang, and the three of them sat in the backyard.
Su Wanshi first asked Qin Shuang for some prescriptions, and then asked her to examine her body. Only after confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong did she feel relieved.
In their presence, Qin Shuang lost her previous humility and instead adopted a somewhat condescending attitude.
"I'd like to know if you ever saw the Crown Princess learning medicine from her divine physician father when she was in the Su family?"
Qin Shuang asked.
"What kind of miracle doctor? We've never seen her before, and we don't even know when she learned medicine. She's probably just been lucky these past few times. She doesn't really know anything about medicine!"
Jiang Qinshu scoffed. Even now, she didn't believe that Su Liluo was a skilled doctor and thought she was just lucky.
"You really haven't met her master? Where did she learn her medical skills? Her medical skills are no less than mine."
In fact, it far surpassed her.
Qin Shuang's face darkened.
This Crown Princess is really strange. Even the most talented person needs a good teacher to guide them.
How could someone possibly learn this without a teacher?
"Dr. Qin, really? How can that wretched girl's medical skills compare to yours? Your medical skills are the best!"
Jiang Qinshu sighed incredulously.
Sitting next to her, Su Wanshi was also puzzled, but she could see that Qin Shuang was serious and didn't seem to be lying at all.
Moreover, Qin Shuang had no reason to praise Su Liluo for no reason. Since she said so, it was probably true.
This Su Liluo has somehow acquired an astonishing medical skill!
Thinking of this, Su Wanshi was instantly consumed by jealousy again.
"Would you be so kind as to take me to see the Crown Princess's boudoir before her marriage?"
Suddenly, Qin Shuang spoke again.
She wanted to see if she could discover anything.
Jiang Qinshu and the others naturally wouldn't refuse, so they took Qin Shuang to the courtyard where Su Liluo used to live.
Upon arriving there, Qin Shuang searched the house thoroughly, only to find that apart from some personal clothes and daily necessities, there was nothing related to medicine.
She asked with some disappointment, "How come there isn't even a medical book in her room?"
This doesn't seem like someone who has studied medicine!
Su Wanshi, who was standing nearby, immediately brightened up upon hearing this.
“I remember now, when she married the Crown Prince, I gave her a box of medical books from the eldest son's family as part of her dowry! The box was very old, and it was full of medical books that I couldn't understand, so I gave it to her!”
"What did you say? A medical book? What kind of medical book?"
Qin Shuang became excited upon hearing this.
Seeing Qin Shuang's excited expression, Su Wanshi felt a bad premonition.
She said cautiously, "It's a medical book left behind by my mother. She used to be a female doctor and knew some medical skills."
"Who is your mother? Where is she now? Do you remember the name of that medical book and what she looks like?"
Qin Shuang bombarded Su Wanshi with a series of questions, leaving her somewhat at a loss.
“My mother is dead. I don’t remember that medical technique. I only know that it was old and strange.”
Su Wanshi explained slowly.
She naturally wouldn't tell Qin Shuang about her background, and Qin Shuang didn't suspect anything. Right now, all she wanted to do was get those medical books and take a look.
She felt that it might contain what her master wanted her to find.
So she didn't stay at the Su residence for long and left. She wanted to find a way to go to the Crown Prince's residence and figure out how to get her hands on those medical books.

Dongmen Street is bustling with people.
Su Liluo has been busy with the business of her shops these past two days. Ever since she swindled a sum of money back from Jiang Qinshu, she has eliminated all the people Jiang Qinshu had placed in the shops.
That day, she took Ranmei to the restaurant again to check if the people she had arranged for her had caused the same problems as before.
Meanwhile, Xiao Churen was watching Su Liluo enter from a spot on the second floor of the restaurant, having planned this chance encounter for the day.
