Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 397 Tall and Capable Hunter vs. Lucky Beauty (32)

Upon arriving in the capital, the imperial envoy first led them to an extremely grand mansion.

"Your Highness, this is the palace His Majesty has prepared for you. Please rest for a day and then go to the palace to pay your respects to His Majesty tomorrow."

"Thank you for your trouble, sir." Chu Yi nodded.

Shen Shuyi stepped forward and slipped a silver note to the leader.

"We're new here and don't know what we should be careful about in the capital."

The imperial envoy initially intended to refuse the silver note, but then he thought that since His Majesty valued this prince who had been found in the countryside so highly, he might as well do him a favor.

So he quietly told them about some of the current situation in the court and some things happening in the palace.

"The Crown Prince is currently bedridden, and His Majesty has issued a proclamation to recruit renowned doctors from across the land. Alas, Your Highness and Your Highness need not worry. His Majesty values ​​blood ties and family affection above all else, so please feel at ease staying here."

Shen Shuyi nodded thoughtfully. The Crown Prince was a talented man who would become a wise ruler in the future. It was a pity that he died young after being poisoned by the Empress for many years.

The emperor, having outlived his son, fell seriously ill and could not recover. With no suitable successor in the court, foreign invaders seized the opportunity to attack.

Chu Yi was temporarily sent to the battlefield back then.
If she can save the crown prince in this life.
She seems to know what kind of store to open in Beijing!
Right now, she needs to establish her reputation for exceptional medical skills. Then, people will naturally come knocking on her door asking her to treat the Crown Prince.
"Wow, this Prince's mansion is really magnificent!" Shen Shushan and Shen Shulan exclaimed in surprise.

Shen Shuyi came to her senses, and at that moment a middle-aged man from the Prince's mansion came over with two rows of servants to greet them.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, this old servant is Ding Fu, the steward here. You must be tired from your journey. I will take you to the side room to rest for a while. Lunch has been prepared and can be served at any time."

Neither Chu Yi nor Shen Liang were used to being surrounded by servants, but Shen Shuyi was extremely natural, and her words and actions exuded the elegance of a noble lady.

The steward was secretly amazed. If he hadn't known in advance where the prince and princess came from, he wouldn't have believed that the stern-faced, extraordinary-looking princess and the dignified and elegant princess were people who had always lived in the countryside.

After settling into her accommodations, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but exclaim, "His Majesty is quite generous."

"From today onwards, my husband, we are also people who own a house in the capital."

Seeing her happy, Chu Yi was happy too, and he pulled his son to admire the pavilions and towers of the Prince's Mansion.

After lunch, the steward Ding Fu came over with a box and respectfully said to Shen Shuyi, "Your Highness, this is the account book of the Prince's residence. The Prince also owns shops and lands bestowed by His Majesty. Please feel free to ask me for anything you need in the future."

"And this is the key to the Prince's Treasury. Please accept it, Your Highness."

Shen Shuyi opened the ledger and glanced at it, thinking that even if they never worked for the rest of their lives, they would be well-off.

On the first day after moving to the capital, the small Chuhe Pavilion did not suffer from any acclimatization problems; on the contrary, it was quite lively. This is when the advantages of living in a large house became apparent.

He Ting's favorite place was the large lotus pond in the Prince's Garden. He loved watching the fish swimming in it and the beautiful, dazzling lotus flowers in full bloom.

……

The following day, the Emperor of Chu summoned Chu Yi to the palace early in the morning, along with Shen Shuyi and Chu Heting.

The Emperor first summoned his son alone. He sat on the dragon throne in the imperial study and watched his son walk in slowly. Tall and elegant, his features bore a resemblance to his beloved concubine. His eyes reddened.

"Yi'er, you're finally back."

Chu Yi had no affection for the Chu Emperor, but he knew the saying that serving a ruler was like walking on thin ice. He had a family behind him, so he had to be careful not to make a mistake in front of the emperor.

So he bowed respectfully.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father."

"It's good that you're back. Get up now." The Emperor looked at his son, who was already married. "Ever since I learned that you were still alive, I've sent people everywhere to search for you. It's made my hair turn quite white."

"Your Majesty, I am grateful for your concern. I am ashamed that I have been unfilial and have not been able to be by your side to fulfill my filial duties."

"Alas, it's not your fault. Seeing how grown up you are, and how you've married a princess and had a son, I am very gratified." When the Emperor of Chu mentioned his son, wife, and children, and saw the tenderness in his eyes, he longed to see his grandson even more.

Summoned by the emperor, Shen Shuyi led He Ting into the palace.

The King of Chu was extremely pleased with his daughter-in-law and grandson, and even bestowed upon Chu Heting a gilded silver book and a silver seal, granting him the title of Prince.

Generally, only the eldest son of a prince can be enfeoffed as a prince of the second rank when he is ten years old. Chu Heting was enfeoffed as a prince of the second rank before he was even three years old.

The fourth prince, Chu Yi, was also promoted to Prince Yi, second only to the crown prince.

Princess Shen Shuyi received a large amount of rewards, with palace servants carrying boxes of gold, silver, jewels, and silks to the Prince's residence.

The palace was in an uproar, and civil and military officials whispered among themselves about the matter. Some even suggested to the emperor during the morning court session that Prince Yi had not rendered any merit and should not have been awarded the title of prince.

However, the emperor's paternal instincts kicked in, and he overruled all objections, determined to make amends for the injustices his youngest son had suffered over the years.

Shen Shuyi was busy with the opening of her clinic, and also learned about some developments in the imperial court from the system.

She thought these rewards might be based on the emperor's guilt, which would make him feel more at ease, since he was getting older and valued blood ties more.

Both she and Chu Yi were beneficiaries of the existing system, so since they wouldn't bother with these matters, the emperor would naturally bail them out if anything went wrong.

On the day Shen's Medical Clinic opened, firecrackers went off. The Emperor of Chu, who had long heard that the Princess Consort and Prince Yi were going to open a medical clinic, came incognito with Eunuch Liu to a private room in a large restaurant next to the clinic. They stood by the window and looked down, and saw the signboard of Shen's Medical Clinic.

"This princess knows medicine?"

Liu Gonggong said with a smile, "I heard that when the princess was in Yun'an County, she cured several people with terminal illnesses."

When the topic of terminal illness came up, the Emperor of Chu looked somewhat somber. His crown prince was still bedridden, and even the Imperial Hospital was helpless. Wasn't he also terminally ill?

If only the princess truly possessed such remarkable medical skills!
Suddenly, Eunuch Liu spoke up, "Your Majesty, look, someone is carrying a person covered in blood into Shen's Medical Clinic."

"Send someone to find out what's going on."

The investigators returned shortly afterward. It turned out that someone had accidentally fallen from the fourth floor while building a house and was on the verge of death when he was taken to Shen's Medical Clinic.

The Emperor of Chu frowned. "How is that person?"

Falling from that height, it's almost impossible to survive.
"The princess is being treated, but there are still no results."

"Let's go explore again!" The Chu Emperor's heart was also stirred.

The Chu Emperor couldn't eat lunch in the private room until noon, not because the food was unpalatable, but because he was worried about whether the person on the verge of death had been saved.

"His Majesty!"

The scout rushed in and knelt down before the Chu Emperor with a thud to report.

"Live alive!"

The Chu Emperor abruptly stood up. "Didn't you say his legs and arms were broken, and his head was also smashed? How could he be saved?"

"They've all been taken back. This servant personally witnessed the Princess performing brain surgery on that person to save his life!"

"Open, open the brain?!" Even the usually composed Emperor Chu trembled upon hearing the word "open the brain."

Can someone survive having their head cut open?!

Shen Shuyi was resting after performing surgery when she heard 66's report that the emperor was nearby watching her every move.

[Even the emperor was shocked; who would have thought that a patient could survive surgery?]
Shen Shuyi wiped the sweat from her forehead. "It's all thanks to your help, 66. With the sterile medical room you redeemed and the blessing of good luck, my success rate for surgery has doubled."
