My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived-Chapter 24 - Being Targeted

She was still wearing the tattered clothes from the other day, but her face was cleaned up, her eyes clear and bright.

“I said before, I’d come to repay you,” she said with a stubborn tone.

Chu Baihan couldn’t help but smile.

She asked directly, “And how can you repay me?”

“I, I…” The little beggar blushed, struggling to speak.

Seeing her like this, Chu Baihan was reminded of herself in the past and decided not to tease her anymore.

Her tone softened, “From now on, you can help out with chores around Qianling Pavilion.”

“Yes, I, I will do my best!” the little beggar promised, lifting her head with determination.

“Young miss, those people also asked me to give you this,” Doctor Wu suddenly approached, holding something in his hand.

Chu Baihan took it and realized it was an invitation from Guangming Hall.

“The Su Family will hold a medical competition in a few days.

If you’re considering opening a clinic, young miss, it would be good to observe,” Doctor Wu suggested.

A glint flashed in Chu Baihan’s eyes; she had been thinking along the same lines.

Making progress behind closed doors is impractical; she needed to see other medical establishments.

“Good, I will go,” Chu Baihan nodded quickly.

…

“Princess Consort, are we really not going to be recognized?” Ruolan followed behind Chu Baihan, both wearing veils and dressed so plainly that not a single piece of jewelry could be found on them.

“Don’t worry, we won’t be,” Chu Baihan said calmly.

She hadn’t returned to the capital in eleven years.

How could anyone recognize her?

“By the way, how is Qianling Pavilion doing?” Chu Baihan asked aloud.

“Reporting back to the Princess Consort, Qianling Pavilion has been refurbished and will soon be ready to reopen,” Ruolan answered earnestly.

Chu Baihan nodded; indeed, with enough money, everything was easier.

“By the way, don’t call me Princess Consort in front of others.

Just call me miss,” she said.

“Yes, miss.”

“What is your business here?” They had just reached the entrance of the Su Family clinic when several stout men blocked their way.

“We are here to participate in the medical competition,” Ruolan quickly produced the invitation.

“You’re a doctor?” One of the stout men looked skeptically at Chu Baihan and then said aloud.

Many people and doctors had already gathered here, attracted by the excitement and novelty of the three-day medical conference, and they naturally wouldn’t miss it.

Now, hearing this loud question, everyone turned to look.

Their gazes naturally fell upon Chu Baihan.

“That girl looks to be under twenty years old; how could she possibly be a doctor?”

“Exactly, is the Su Family’s invitation just given out randomly?

Historically, it’s rare to hear of a woman being a doctor!”

“Hey, don’t say that, women can indeed be doctors.

Isn’t there a female divine doctor in Jiangnan who is incredibly skilled with the silver needle?”

“Forget Jiangnan, we have women in the capital city who know medical skills, too.

Everyone knows about the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor Liu, right?

She has been learning medical skills from the court doctors since she was young, very clever indeed.

The emperor has praised her several times.”

The commoners began to discuss among themselves.

The eldest daughter of Grand Tutor Liu?

Chu Baihan slightly furrowed her brows.

Wasn’t that…

the daughter-in-law the Crown Princess was fond of?

Unexpectedly, she also knew medical skills.

“Yes, yes, yes, I had forgotten about that if you hadn’t mentioned it.

The other day, Miss Liu saved a child with a broken bone on the street; she really has a heart of gold.”

“What’s most important is she has good medical skills.

To be able to save such a severe broken bone case means her skills are unquestionable.

Oh, and I heard she’s participating in this competition, too.”

“Really?

With Miss Liu’s noble status, even the Crown Prince wants to marry her into the family.

Why would she deign to compete with the common people here?”

“I don’t know about that; perhaps Miss Liu simply wants to exchange medical knowledge with the doctors here while helping others,” the commoners speculated.

“Yes, of course.

Miss Liu is truly kind and beautiful.”

The surrounding people praised Liu Shuxin, piquing Chu Baihan’s curiosity.

“Can we go in now?” Seeing the stout man still holding her invitation, Chu Baihan asked with a frown.

“The Commandery Prince said that this competition is to provide an opportunity for doctors with real talent to showcase their skills and absolutely forbids any imposters from mixing in.

If you want to enter, you must prove your medical skills right here,” the stout man replied, putting the invitation behind him and speaking to Chu Baihan in a hostile tone.

“Why can they just use their invitations to get in while you target us specifically?”

Ruolan noticed several men getting in just by showing their invitations and was outraged.

“Even if it is intentional, what about it?

Leave now if you won’t prove yourselves, and don’t block the entrance,” commanded the stout man, waving his hand menacingly.

“You…”

“I believe this young lady must have medical skills,” just at that moment, a gentle voice came from behind them.
