Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World

Chapter 79: Chapter 80: Being Valued

Lady Jhiang waited outside, nervously clasping her hands together, deeply concerned that even Doctor Shao, renowned as she was, couldn’t possibly cure Princess Huimin’s illness in such a short time; the princess, having seen enough quacks, was sure to fly into a rage.

She couldn’t help but feel some regret. Had she known, she would have brought Doctor Shao to meet Princess Huimin alone, later, maybe then this wouldn’t have happened.

Luo Jiner caught Lady Jhiang’s expression and a sinister smile formed at the corner of her mouth.

Just as she was feeling immensely pleased with herself for being quick to react and using Shao He as a shield, Princess Huimin and Xu Han came out intimately holding Shao He’s hand, their masks removed, revealing their exquisite faces.

Everyone was extremely surprised, including Lady Jhiang, who was utterly shocked.

“Wasn’t it said that Princess Huimin and the Commandery Princess had acne on their faces? How come it’s vanished?”

“Yes, it’s for this reason that Princess Huimin and the Commandery Princess have always worn veils, even refusing visitors.”

“Could it be that this female doctor truly has such miraculous skills, to have healed the princess and Commandery Princess’s facial ailments in such a short time?”

In that moment, everyone began to whisper amongst themselves, but their voices were very low, as no one dared to discuss it aloud.

Princess Huimin and Xu Han, seeing the reactions of those around them, were in excellent spirits, with smiles that couldn’t be suppressed.

“Lady Jhiang, this is the best birthday gift your ladyship could have given me,” the princess said.

“The princess flatters me. It is Doctor Shao’s good fortune to be able to treat the princess,” Lady Jhiang replied, her heart finally settling down—you could indeed see Doctor Shao’s outstanding medical skills.

Luo Jiner snapped back to reality, never would she have imagined Shao He actually cured Princess Huimin’s face.

“No, that’s impossible!”

Luo Jiner accidentally voiced her thoughts aloud, her piercing voice silencing the surroundings as all eyes turned towards her.

The smile on Princess Huimin’s lips faded as she gave Luo Jiner a cold glare.

“Be silent.”

Luo Jiner, frightened, quickly covered her mouth, hanging her head low.

“I know why you’re so agitated—you’re just jealous and resentful. But this jealous and resentful expression, powerless to change the facts, makes you look all the more ugly,” said the princess.

Luo Jiner felt her face flush red at the princess’s mocking words, but she couldn’t help but retort, “Princess, how could your face’s condition be cured so quickly? This commoner girl is afraid she is only…”

“Enough!”

Luo Jiner immediately bowed low and quickly explained, “Princess, this commoner girl meant no offense, I only worry that you are being deceived by some!”

“Miss Luo seems to be quite pale—perhaps you’re not feeling well. I’ll have a maid escort you out,” Princess Huimin, unable to tolerate the woman any longer, found a pretext to dismiss her, her annoyance extending even to Chu Yu.

Luo Jiner, disbelieving, looked up to meet that cold, disdainful gaze, said nothing, and could only turn to leave.

From beginning to end, Shao He showed no emotion, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with her.

Princess Huimin turned her head and instructed, “Move Doctor Shao’s seat forward.”

Then, affectionately taking Shao He’s hand, she gently asked, “Would you like to become the exclusive doctor of the Princess’s Mansion?”

The crowd looked at Shao He with surprise, envying her fortune; this doctor’s skill had won Princess Huimin’s favor, an honor they themselves could not even hope for.

But Shao He just smiled and shook her head, “Thank your Highness for your generous offer, but this commoner girl wishes to treat more sick people. Please forgive me.”

“The heart of a doctor is akin to that of a parent—your aspiration is commendable. Since you are unwilling, I won’t insist,” remarked Princess Huimin, her gaze full of fondness.

Princess Huimin, having been secluded from guests for some time, appeared slightly weary. Maids led the others outside to admire the flowers.

The flowers in the Princess’s Mansion were rare specimens, and everyone eagerly looked forward to seeing them, except for Shao He, who lingered at the back of the group, strolling leisurely.

At that moment, a young maid approached, “Doctor Shao, Marquis Chu invites you to join him over there.”

“Tell the Marquis it’s not convenient,” replied Shao He.

After speaking, Shao He headed down an opposite path, quickening her pace towards a pavilion in the distance.

Just as she was about to reach the pavilion, she realized someone was already there.

Turning to leave, she heard footsteps behind her and, thinking Chu Yu was approaching in haste, she spotted a rockery nearby and hid behind it.

Soon after, voices came from the pavilion.

“Brother An, what are you doing here all by yourself?”

A familiar female voice reached Shao He, and after a brief recollection, she remembered it belonged to Xia Zhaohe, Prince Jing’s daughter, and the Commandery Princess Ninghe.

Lost in thought, a voice, indifferent and detached, interrupted.

“Where I am is none of your business.”

That voice… was Pei Huaian?

“Brother An, are you also bored? Actually, I don’t like the bustle much either. We do think quite alike,” Xia Zhaohe rambled on, paying no heed to the obvious impatience on the face of the man in the wheelchair.

As Pei Huaian was about to leave in his wheelchair, Xia Zhaohe suddenly spoke, “Brother An probably doesn’t know yet, but the princess’s facial condition has been cured. That doctor really is skilled. And can you believe the Marquis of Pingnan? Bringing along another lady to the birthday feast, utterly shameless!”

Pei Huaian paused slightly, a subtle expression flickering across his eyes—a capable doctor, could it be… Shao He?
