My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived-Chapter 25 - Liu Family’s Daughter Liu Shuxin
25: Chapter 25 Liu Family’s Daughter Liu Shuxin
25 -25 Liu Family’s Daughter Liu Shuxin
Everyone turned around and saw a woman in a pale yellow silk dress walking slowly towards them.
She was wearing golden hair accessories that tinkled with each step, and her eyebrows and eyes were carefully drawn, lips rosy red.
Her demeanor was lively, clearly indicating she was a cherished daughter from a prestigious family.
“Miss Liu!
She really did come,” someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.
Chu Baihan’s eyes changed subtly, so this was Liu Shuxin.
Liu Shuxin walked briskly toward them, first giving Chu Baihan a gentle smile before turning around to scold the burly man.
“Uncle Su had you come to attend to guests from all over, not to throw your weight around and look down on people,” she rebuked.
“Miss Liu, it’s my fault, I was blind,” the servant admitted.
The man obviously recognized Liu Shuxin, and his expression immediately became tense.
“Move aside!”
“Yes, I’ll get out of the way,” he said, scurrying off.
Liu Shuxin then quickly turned back with a light laugh, “Sister, everything’s been taken care of, don’t worry.”
“Miss Liu, thank you for your help.
However, I cannot accept unwarranted rewards, your intervention on my behalf…”
Chu Baihan furrowed her brow, eyeing Liu Shuxin with suspicion.
Liu Shuxin smiled again warmly, “I’ve noticed that almost all the doctors who have come to the Su Family’s medical hall are men, so it’s really quite rare to see another lady here.
Shouldn’t I take the chance to get to know you better?”
“Come on inside.
The Commandery Prince Su and my father are good friends; I usually call him Uncle Su.
If there’s anything uncomfortable for you during these three days, just let me know.”
“By the way, what’s your name?” she continued to inquire.
“My surname is Bai,” Chu Baihan responded, suppressing her emotions and speaking softly.
“Then I’ll call you Sister Bai from now on.
Sister Bai, I will go find Uncle Su now; you wait here, I’ll come back for you,” she said.
Liu Shuxin patted Chu Baihan’s hand reassuringly, then quickly turned and went upstairs.
Chu Baihan rubbed her ear, which throbbed from the commotion, only to hear Ruolan’s sigh of admiration—
“Miss…
Miss Wang, Miss Liu is really nice, both passionate and kind-hearted, unlike other ladies from aristocratic families.
No wonder the Crown Prince has favored her for years, keeping the position of the Crown Princess Consort for her.”
Just as Chu Baihan was about to respond, she caught sight of a familiar figure entering the door; her eyes narrowed slightly, and a chill seemed to seep into her demeanor.
Su Yuan had actually come!
The wound on his neck was still there, but he had recovered his spirited appearance, accepting the room’s flattery with composure.
It seemed that she hadn’t been harsh enough on him the other day, allowing for such a quick recovery.
Perhaps because Chu Baihan’s gaze was too frosty, Su Yuan couldn’t help but look over in their direction.
But she had already averted her gaze.
Her tear mole at the corner of the eye was too easily recognizable, so when she drew a blooming begonia flower over the wound on her forehead, she also disguised the mole to match the petals of the flower.
Su Yuan shouldn’t be able to recognize her.
Indeed, when Su Yuan looked her way, his brows furrowed in surprise at seeing a woman participating in such an event, but he didn’t suspect anything further.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Guangming Hall,” said a resounding voice from above.
Everyone looked up to see a man in his fifties standing there, his booming voice speaking.
This person must be Su Yuan’s father, Commandery Prince Su Qiong.
“We have three rounds of assessment in this competition, spanning over three days.
After the third day, the winner will receive ten thousand gold pieces as a reward from Guangming Hall, and the top ten will become doctors at Guangming Hall.”
A crowd filled the first floor, all listening intently.
Chu Baihan’s cool gaze swept over those people…
Liu Shuxin had been right; in this competition, there were indeed only two women participating.
The prejudices of the world are many, and truly few become female doctors.
“Everyone, please go to the side to register your names.
Shortly, we will assess your knowledge of medicinal herbs.
Remember, if there is any cheating in Guangming Hall, don’t blame me for being discorteous.”
In the end, Su Qiong didn’t forget to warn everyone.
Following the crowd, Chu Baihan went to the side and wrote down her name “Chu Baihan”.
“Miss, to prevent cheating, your maid must go outside,” a servant of Guangming Hall reminded.
“Miss.” Ruolan looked at Chu Baihan with concern.
Chu Baihan gave her a reassuring look to let her go out first.
Finally, Ruolan could only follow the other non-participants and leave the premises.

Outside, the local citizens had surrounded the entire Guangming Hall.
They craned their necks to see what was happening inside, very curious about the assessment.
The interior of Guangming Hall was vast enough to accommodate over a hundred people.
Roughly fifty were participating in the assessment.
They brought tables and set them up, and then placed a round, bulging cloth bag on each table.
“These bags are filled with medicinal herbs.
You will open them later and write down the names of the herbs on paper.
Any mistakes will result in elimination.
The time allowed is thirty minutes.”
Su Yuan announced loudly from the platform.
Upon hearing this, people hurried over to grab a seat.
Their target was the smaller-looking bags, which suggested fewer herbs.
Chu Baihan didn’t compete for a seat and waited until everyone had finished scrambling before going to an empty spot to stand.
“Sister, it’s such a coincidence that we are seated so close together,” Liu Shuxin said excitedly to Chu Baihan, turning her head.
She was also here.
Chu Baihan was stunned for a moment before she regained her composure and nodded slightly without speaking.
She was not accustomed to talking much with those she was not familiar with.
Both quickly withdrew their gazes and then untied their bags.
Indeed…
Seeing the contents of the bag, Chu Baihan exhaled, “Not difficult.”
She picked up a pen and swiftly began writing down the names of the herbs on paper.
At this moment, inside a teahouse opposite Guangming Hall.
Yan Lian stood at the window, constantly spying on the situation inside Guangming Hall.
“Crown Prince, do you think the Crown Princess Consort can correctly write down all the names of the herbs?” he couldn’t help turning around to ask.
“Why not?” Yan Lin was seated there, eyes closed, his voice low and challenging.
Hearing such a confident tone, Yan Lian showed a look of shock.
In all the years he’d known the Crown Prince, he’d never seen him trust someone so much.
“True, the Crown Princess Consort was able to cure your poisoning; identifying herbs must not be difficult for her.
However, I always feel the Su Family’s Guangming Hall is quite cunning.
I just hope the Crown Princess Consort won’t be at a disadvantage there,” Yan Lian mused to himself.
