Chapter 259 -260: Taking Her as a Concubine
The once bustling crowd quieted down, and even Pei Huaian was startled, revealing a shocked expression.
As Shao He stood up too quickly, a wave of darkness swept before her eyes, and she clutched the table tightly, fearing she might collapse the next second.
Pei Huaian noticed something was off with her and helped her sit down, asking softly, “Are you alright?”
After a moment, Shao He replied, “I’m fine, just a sudden spell of dizziness.”
A quarter hour passed, and the people stretched their necks in silence, trying to peek inside.
“He’s awake, he’s awake.”
Suddenly, Madam Song’s screeching voice came from the room as she ran out joyously, took hold of Shao He’s hand, and repeatedly thanked her, “Thank you, thank you, Doctor, you’re truly a Divine Doctor!”
“He’s awake? Was the surgery really a success?”
“My goodness, it’s miraculous!”
“Nothing short of Hua Tuo reincarnate!”
Those who had doubted Shao He just a moment ago now believed without question.
However, a man in black within the crowd refused to accept this, saying, “How is this possible? For a person to survive after having their skull opened, it’s simply ludicrous!”
“You couldn’t possibly be colluding to deceive us innocent folks, could you?”
The man’s words instantly made him the target of the people, who all turned to look at him.
Madam Song pulled back her expression and turned to the man, her mouth curling into a smirk as she retorted, “Don’t lump these innocent folks with yourself; only someone brainless like you could utter such nonsense.”
At that moment, Shao He finally understood why Yun Qian had said Madam Song was not someone to be trifled with.
The man was left speechless by her retort and struggled to respond, but before he could, Madam Song continued, “If you all don’t believe it, you can wait and see. Once my husband is fully awake, you will know what’s true and what’s not, which is more convincing than any evidence.”
“Right, she’s not wrong, just seeing Master Wan alive and well will be the most solid proof.”
Seeing that the crowd was beginning to side with Shao He, the man took the opportunity to slip away unnoticed and quickly left.
Ah Mo followed closely behind and, seizing the opportunity when the man was off guard, dragged him into an alley and beat him up before striding away.
After some time, Wan Yuan finally recovered, and though his head was shaven, one could still see the scar atop his head.
This made the people praise Shao He’s exceptional medical skills, and her fame grew even more impressive with time.
In the imperial palace.
The Empress fiddled with the armor on her hand and asked seemingly casually, “Have you heard about that young female doctor’s ordeal?”
Pei Chengye, who was sitting aside sipping tea, set down his cup and nodded, “This son has sent people to inquire, and she truly possesses those skills.”
“The information gathered might be mistaken unless seen with one’s own eyes to ascertain the truth or falsehood.”
The Empress said this and paused for a moment before continuing, “By the way, what do you think of this young female doctor?”
Pei Chengye furrowed his brows and after a long moment of contemplation, he replied, “Mother, I believe she is indeed remarkable, particularly in terms of medical knowledge, even unmatched by the chief officials of the Imperial Medical Bureau.”
He paused before adding, “Moreover, I have personally visited the Wan Family to investigate this matter and have seen the scar on his head.”
After hearing Pei Chengye’s response, the Empress expressed her concerns with a worried tone, “I didn’t expect such a young female doctor to be so capable. Since this is the case, we can’t let her become an obstacle for Pei Huaian. It would be best to prevent them from being together.”
At this moment, Pei Chengye, who was sitting to the right, suddenly stood up, performed a respectful bow, and spoke gravely, “Mother, I have a plan.”
The Empress looked up at Pei Chengye and asked, “What plan?”
Pei Chengye straightened up, his gaze resolute as he said, “This son has decided to take her as a concubine. Whether or not she has had children is not important. This way, she will be of use to us, and we needn’t worry about her having any entanglement with Pei Huaian.”
The Empress nodded in approval upon hearing this, as she too thought that having the young female doctor on their side would be for the best.
“Although this idea is good, it’s a pity the doctor is not untouched, it might be somewhat unfair to you!”
Pei Chengye smiled and said, “Mother need not worry, marrying for wisdom is what counts. Besides, if this woman can truly be of help to us, how could that be considered a sacrifice? Moreover, it’s only temporary residence, and who can say what will happen in the future!”

The Empress smiled slightly and replied, “With that said, I naturally agree. However, we must not rush into this. Wait until after you have brought her back to our residence. Then we can execute the plan gradually. After all, it’s not suitable for others to know now. But…”
As she spoke, the Empress suddenly halted, her expression turning serious.
“I’ve heard that Pei Huaian is quite intimate with her. You should act sooner rather than later.”
“This son understands.”
Pei Chengye was about to leave the Empress’s chamber when she spoke again, “However, if it comes down to absolute necessity, it would be better to ruin her rather than let her advantage others.”
Pei Chengye’s footsteps halted, understanding the meaning behind his mother’s words.
Ever since Wan Yuan’s incident, Shao He’s medical hall was busier than ever, with a constant stream of patients every day, and all kinds of them at that.
Some were even pretending to be ill just to catch a glimpse of the Divine Doctor’s face.
This left Shao He somewhat exasperated and, feeling helpless, she had no choice but to set consultation hours and limit the number of patients seen.
