"Was it really my fault that you, the Su family, were harmed?"
Even the usually composed Qin Shuang couldn't help but sneer inwardly upon hearing Su Wanshi's sudden outburst of anger and blame.
But Su Wanshi seemed to have found an outlet for her anger. She couldn't scold Su Liluo because she was the Crown Princess, but couldn't she scold Qin Shuang?
I used to think she was a miracle doctor, which is why I respected her.
However, she now discovered that the supposedly powerful potion Qin Shuang gave her was completely ineffective in front of Su Liluo, so she felt that Qin Shuang had no real skills.
So she continued to curse, "If you hadn't given me the fake medicine, our Su family wouldn't have had our property confiscated. Who else could be responsible for this if not you?"
“There’s nothing wrong with my potion. You tested it when you took it. As for why it didn’t cause the Crown Princess’s face to peel and rot, I wanted to ask if the potion had been tampered with.”
Qin Shuangsheng said.
At this moment, Xiao Churen, who was standing to the side, did not know what conflict Qin Shuang had with Su Wanshi, but when he heard that the Crown Princess's face was going to peel off and rot, his brows furrowed deeply.
"What are you talking about? You've made the Crown Princess's face peel and rot! What have you done?"
Xiao Churen pressed for answers anxiously.
He had heard rumors circulating among the people on the street that the Crown Princess was a fake, and he also knew that the Crown Princess went to the palace to prove herself, only to find out that the Su family had wronged her.
However, he had no idea about this thing that could cause skin to peel off and face to rot.
Su Wanshi then remembered that Xiao Churen was still beside her. She had been so angry when she saw Qin Shuang that she forgot to avoid saying those things to Xiao Churen.
"I......"
She was extremely embarrassed and didn't know how to explain herself.
Qin Shuang seemed to have figured something out, and she quickly said, "It was me who gave Miss Su a potion that made people's skin rot and fall off, but the potion didn't work. The person Miss Su wanted to harm is still fine, which is why Miss Su is so angry with me."
"What! Wan Shi, you, you actually..."
Xiao Churen looked at Su Wanshi in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief.
In his eyes, Su Wanshi was a gentle and kind little white flower, how could she be so vicious?
"That's not it, Your Highness. I only suspect that the Crown Princess is in disguise. The potion that Miss Qin gave me was just a potion to remove the disguise mask."
Su Wanshi hurriedly explained.
"Is that so? If that's all there is to it, then why are you blaming this Miss Qin? You didn't expose the Crown Princess in the palace, which proves that the Crown Princess is real. Why are you still doing this?"
Xiao Churen looked at Su Wanshi with suspicion.
If Su Wanshi's kind demeanor had all been an act, then he was truly disappointed!
Seeing Su Wanshi's flustered appearance, Qin Shuang felt much better.
She smiled and said, "My medicine is naturally without any problems. As for my medical skills, at least none of the doctors in the entire Liang capital can compare to me. The poison that Princess Cheng was afflicted with left all the imperial physicians helpless, but I was the one who cured it."
I came to see you today simply to confirm whether the medicine I gave you had been tampered with. Since you said it hadn't, that's fine.
She then realized that this Su Liluo was even more extraordinary, and that her medical skills surpassed her own.
She must have discovered the potion; she must have a potent antidote or antidote on her.
This Su Liluo is truly more complex than I imagined.
"You said you cured Princess Cheng of her poison?"
Just then, as Qin Shuang finished speaking, Xiao Churen looked at her in surprise.
Qin Shuang then took a closer look at the young man in front of her who looked extremely noble, handsome and refined.
He nodded confidently: "Yes, you heard me right."
Xiao Churen's eyes trembled slightly.
He knew about the poison that Princess Cheng had been poisoned with. At the time, no physician in the entire Imperial Hospital could cure it, but this woman was able to, which meant that she was indeed a highly skilled doctor.
If I could recruit such a capable person and have him work for me, it would be a great thing for me.
He had always admired talented people, so after looking at Qin Shuang for a while, he secretly made up his mind.
"Your skills are truly remarkable, young lady. It just so happens that someone in my household is ill. Would you be so kind as to accompany me to take a look?"
Xiao Churen thought for a moment and then asked.
Su Wanshi, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, exclaiming in disbelief, "Your Highness, she's a fraud! She's not that amazing at all. The medicine she gave me was all—"
“Wanshi, there must be some misunderstanding between you and this Miss Qin. She was able to cure the Princess’s poison, which means she is better than many imperial physicians.”
Before Su Wanshi could finish speaking, Xiao Churen interrupted her.
Qin Shuang raised an eyebrow smugly, remaining noncommittal.
She had just learned from their conversation that the man was a prince, so his status and position were naturally very high.
Now that the Su family has fallen, if she can make use of this prince, it would be a good thing for her.
Thus, under Su Wanshi's jealous and resentful gaze, Qin Shuang followed Xiao Churen and left the Su family's current residence.
Xiao Churen brought Qin Shuang back to his residence.
Along the way, he didn't beat around the bush and asked Qin Shuang directly: "Miss Qin, I greatly admire capable people. I wonder if Miss Qin would be willing to let me use your medical skills?"
"Of course, if you agree, I will certainly not treat you unfairly."
Qin Shuang smiled and said, "It is of course an honor to serve Your Highness. It just so happens that I was homeless for a while and stayed at Miss Su's residence. Now I have nowhere to go."
She does need a good identity right now. If she works for the King of Chu and becomes one of his subordinates, it will be easier for her to get close to the Crown Princess.
That was Qin Shuang's thought, so she accepted the King of Chu's invitation without hesitation.
Xiao Churen was overjoyed that Qin Shuang agreed so readily.
He placed Qin Shuang among his staff and arranged for her to have a small courtyard near the Prince's residence.
During this period, in order to test Qin Shuang's abilities, he arranged for Qin Shuang to cure the chronic illnesses of several court officials' families.
Unexpectedly, after several days of treatment, the illnesses that other doctors in the court officials' homes could not cure actually improved under Qin Shuang's care.
Several court officials were extremely grateful to Xiao Churen, which immediately won him the support of many people.
"Qin Shuang, you have done well. Your medical skills are indeed better than those of ordinary doctors, and even the imperial physicians in the palace! These things are a reward from me."
At the Chu Prince's residence, Xiao Churen took out a box of gold and had a servant hand it to Qin Shuang.
Qin Shuang remained unmoved, her eyes devoid of greed, and simply said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
What she wanted wasn't worldly possessions, but rather the comfort of having a powerful backer.
