Chapter 1508: Her Highness the Princess (58)

“Second Imperial Sister, what were you about to say just now? I interrupted you earlier, but now you can continue.”

Tang Guo lifted her eyes and looked at Tang Xi with a smile.

How could Tang Xi dare say anything now? Pressing her lips together lightly, she replied, “I was only saying that people with such stubborn tempers as the Little Divine Doctor are quite rare. I found it surprising, but now that I know she's one of Imperial Sister's people, it's not strange anymore. With Imperial Sister supporting her from behind, anyone's backbone would become stiff.”

“Second Imperial Sister is mistaken. Yuzhi's nature has always been straightforward, and she has every reason to be so. I support her because she's in the right. If she weren't…” Tang Guo paused and smiled. “No, Yuzhi is a good girl. She would never be unreasonable or throw childish tantrums.”

System: Not bad. What a protective host. 'Yuzhi would never be unreasonable.' Hahaha, worthy of being my host.

Tang Xi caught the implication and nearly exploded with anger.

Lü Yuzhi lowered her head and desperately held back her laughter.

As expected, Her Highness was amazing. They were both princesses, so why was the difference between them so great?

“Wasn't Second Imperial Sister ill? If it isn't urgent, come back the day after tomorrow. The new registration numbers will be available then,” Tang Guo said with a smile. “If it's an urgent illness, it would be better to enter the palace and summon the imperial physicians.”

“Even though we are royal princesses, we must still respect the principle of first come, first served. Yuzhi treats the common people. There is only one circumstance under which she may break the rules and see someone without an appointment—that is when the patient is brought to the clinic at death's door. As a physician, she cannot refuse in such a case. Otherwise, given the clinic's reputation, everyone knows not to come here for emergencies. If someone insists on coming here for urgent treatment, then they are simply taking advantage of this little girl.”

Tang Xi felt utterly humiliated.

Even if she were beaten to death, she would never come here again.

“It isn't any serious illness. I simply didn't know the rules here and ended up troubling Imperial Sister.”

“Imperial Sister, I'll take my leave first.”

Tang Guo smiled. “Shall I send someone to the palace to summon an imperial physician for you?”

“No need. Thank you for your concern, Imperial Sister.”

She was furious, all right?

Things had gone terribly right from the start. It was all Lü Qing's fault. If not for him, would she have ended up with all this pent-up anger? That man Lü Qing was truly a jinx. Ever since he entered her Princess Manor, not a single good thing had happened.

How had she been so blind back then, thinking of nothing but being with him?

After Tang Xi left, the patients waiting in line hurriedly bowed to Tang Guo, their faces filled with gratitude.

So the rumors were true—this clinic really was backed by the Grand Princess.

Before, they had found it hard to believe.

The consultation fees here were inexpensive, and the herbs prescribed were all ordinary and affordable.

Even though only twenty patients were seen each day, they didn't mind.

After this incident, word spread throughout the capital that one of Tang Guo's properties was a medical clinic.

Lü Yuzhi's reputation grew larger and larger, eventually attracting the attention of the Emperor and Empress.

When Tang Guo entered the palace, they brought up the matter.

“I met the girl during my travels. She's very intelligent and wholeheartedly wishes to heal the sick and save lives, so I gave her a chance. It seems now that she's done quite well.”

“For such a young girl to achieve this much is truly remarkable. She deserves admiration.”

Compared to the Empress, the Emperor was actually a very open-minded man.

Without the Emperor, the Empress probably would never have accepted Tang Guo's refusal to marry and her habit of spending her days traveling outside.

Under the Emperor's influence, the Empress had also come to see the great capabilities of women throughout the world and no longer urged Tang Guo to marry.
