Afterwards, Su Liluo asked Xiao Ye which court officials Xiao Churen had won over, and which officials had already sided with Xiao Churen.
She decided to use her medical skills to win over the court officials for Xiao Ye.
She knew they couldn't escape this struggle for the throne.
If they don't fight for that position, given Xiao Churen's fear of Xiao Ye and Su Wanshi's hatred towards them, they will have no way to survive once Xiao Churen becomes emperor.
What's more, in his previous life, he was burned alive by them.
She and Xiao Churen were mortal enemies, and in this life, how could she watch him smoothly and peacefully sit on that supreme position?
After discussing for a while, Su Liluo learned that Xiao Churen was currently trying to win over the Grand Tutor, and Qin Shuang was treating the Grand Tutor's eldest son's incurable illness.
She remembered that in her previous life, Qin Shuang used some method to help the eldest son of the Grand Tutor, who had been confined to a wheelchair for many years and unable to walk, to stand up.
Therefore, the Grand Tutor was extremely grateful to the King of Chu, and although he had always been a royalist, he secretly joined the King of Chu's faction.
Unfortunately, his eldest son died of poisoning a year after he stood up.
At the time, she remembered overhearing Xiao Churen and Qin Shuang talking about ordering the killing of those who gossiped.
It seems someone is saying that the death of the Grand Tutor's eldest son was related to Qin Shuang making her stand up.
Did Qin Shuang use a poison that would shorten lifespan to treat the Grand Tutor's eldest son's leg and help him stand up?
Thinking of this, Su Liluo was horrified.
If that's the case, they really are willing to do anything to seize power, even the most insidious things, completely losing the ethics of a doctor.
No, she had to stop Qin Shuang from doing this.
So, after discussing it with Xiao Ye, she decided to go to the Grand Tutor and offer to help his eldest son treat his leg, so that Xiao Churen wouldn't be allowed to use other people's lives to gain support.
"I'll go with you."
Xiao Ye said.
That afternoon, Xiao Ye and Su Liluo took a carriage to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

"Miss Qin, are you sure these prescriptions won't harm my son's life, since they contain so many poisonous substances?"
Inside the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Grand Tutor Song sat upright in a sandalwood chair, looking at Qin Shuang sitting below with a worried expression.
Standing beside them was the family physician who had served in their household for many years.
His eldest son had been paralyzed for several years, and he had no hope of curing him. It was his second wife who told him that there was a female doctor who might be able to help his eldest son stand up again.
He went to see his eldest son and found that he had been depressed ever since he broke his leg. In order to prevent him from becoming despondent, he went to the Chu King's mansion and asked the Chu King for help. He then invited a famous doctor to treat his son's leg.
However, after examining his son's condition, the doctor prescribed mostly highly poisonous substances in his treatment plan and medicine, which worried him.
Although the family physician could not cure the eldest son's leg, he had been a responsible physician for many years. Although his medical skills were not as good as those of a miracle doctor, he had never made a mistake.
The family physician disagreed with the divine doctor's prescription, saying it would harm the eldest son's health, which left him conflicted.
"Does the Grand Tutor not trust me? Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Your son's leg is in a very serious condition, and ordinary doctors simply cannot cure it. Is the Grand Tutor unwilling to give it a try for your son?"
Qin Shuang had a cold and aloof expression, and her whole demeanor exuded the air of a superior person who would not bow to worldly conventions.
She didn't answer the Grand Tutor's question directly at all, but instead kept subtly questioning whether he cared about his son.
“Master, Ling Shi has been wasting his life all these years. If we let him take a risk, there is a great chance that he can heal his leg. I believe he would be willing to do so.”
At this moment, the Grand Tutor's wife, who was standing nearby, also began to offer advice.
"Master, this prescription is far too toxic. If it is used on the eldest son, it may leave poison in his body!"
The physician was extremely anxious.
Although he couldn't cure the young master's leg, he still knew the prescription.
This miraculous healer, Miss Qin, wanted to cure the young master using the method of fighting poison with poison. It was effective, but it would also leave the poison residue in the young master's body.
In the long run, that's bad for your health.
"this......"
The Grand Tutor sighed deeply, his face full of sorrow.
"My lord, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Just then, a servant came in and reported.
"The Crown Prince? Why has he suddenly come to my residence?"
The Grand Tutor suddenly looked up, his face showing some surprise.
"Quickly, invite the Crown Prince in!"
After their initial surprise, they naturally still had to receive Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye and Su Liluo entered the Grand Tutor's mansion together. As soon as they entered, Su Liluo saw Qin Shuang sitting inside.
She thought to herself, "What a coincidence! I never expected to run into you like this."
"I wonder what brings Your Highness here?"
After the group inside the Grand Tutor's mansion bowed to Xiao Ye and his companions, Grand Tutor Zhao asked politely.
"I have come to see the Grand Tutor's eldest son today. I have heard that the eldest son, like I was before, is unable to walk properly. I think that perhaps I can help him."
Xiao Ye sat down and said calmly.
Grand Tutor Song's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Does Your Highness also wish to introduce me to a renowned physician you know?"
He immediately thought of Xiao Ye, who had been crippled in both legs, and the rumors that he would never be able to stand up again.
However, after Xiao Ye went north, he returned able to stand up. He only said that he had met a divine doctor, but did not say who the divine doctor was.
As for the fact that Su Liluo cured Xiao Ye's leg, only the Emperor and the others knew about it; it hadn't spread yet.
"Yes, that's true."
Xiao Ye spoke frankly and directly.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuang suddenly looked at Su Liluo. Was she about to make a move as well?
I wonder what kind of treatment she will propose this time?
The young master of the Grand Tutor's family is poisoned to the bone marrow, and it is a deadly poison. He is only alive now because his family is wealthy enough that the Grand Tutor has used up all the precious medicines to keep him alive.
Without treatment, they will die within three to five years.
The treatment she proposed, which involved using poison to fight poison, would shorten his lifespan from three to five years to one year, but at least it would allow him to stand up again.
Since he wouldn't live for more than a few years anyway if she didn't do it, Qin Shuang didn't think her method was harmful.
But seeing Su Liluo appear now makes her curious, and she wants to know how Su Liluo will treat her, and whether she will suggest a better solution.
"Your Highness, I thank you. But where is the renowned physician you summoned?"
Grand Tutor Song said excitedly.
He was initially conflicted about Qin Shuang's treatment method and the opposition from the royal physician.
Now that the Crown Prince has brought another divine physician, and one with the Crown Prince's own experience as a precedent, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.
I am eager to meet this miracle doctor and see if he can offer a safe treatment method.
