Chapter 26
An epidemic that lasted for three months finally subsided, and Huo Jiuge became a miracle doctor in everyone's mouth and was summoned by the emperor.

In the Jinluan Palace, the emperor looked at the young man below with a smile, waved his hand, and there was a group of palace servants holding more than 20 trays in succession. Each tray was filled with heavy gold and jewelry, and everything was extremely precious. It is rare that even if the ministers in the court are well-informed, they have never seen so many treasures at one time.

Such a generous reward is a reward for Huo Jiuge's successful solution to the epidemic.

The ministers on the side were all jealous, thinking: This boy is very lucky now.

The leading eunuch rolled the long gift list into a bundle and placed it on a tray containing rewards. Huo Jiuge kowtowed after receiving it.

Seeing that she had such superb medical skills at such a young age, the emperor thought of keeping her in the palace, but unexpectedly Huo Jiuge refused.

"The common people are grateful for Your Majesty's grace. But my master has taught me since I was a child that a doctor should have a heart to save the world and save the people. We, master and apprentice, depend on each other and travel around in order to pass on my holy book of medical ethics. Now that the master is declining, the common people cannot do it for I will abandon my master who has raised me since I was a child. I have heard that my government governs the world with virtue, so I ask the emperor to fulfill the filial piety of the common people!"

The emperor was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to say that, but Huo Jiuge wasn't done yet. She continued: "Every time the common people think about there being people suffering from illness, they can't sleep at night. Now, thanks to the emperor's gift, the common people are really I feel ashamed and undeserved, so the common people boldly ask the emperor to let the common people donate all these rewards to save the people who are in dire straits!"

Huo Jiuge stood among the ministers in official uniforms. Although she was dressed in plain clothes, it made her look more upright and upright. Her eyes were deep and firm. She knelt down and bowed deeply to the emperor in the Golden Palace.

The emperor did not expect that she already had such insight and courage at such a young age, so he immediately agreed to her request and gave her a token with four big words written on it: practice medicine according to orders.

With this thing, it means that Huo Jiuge is no longer an ordinary doctor. Her power has even exceeded that of some ordinary officials, and she will receive preferential treatment and care no matter where she goes.

For Huo Jiuge, this was much more precious than gold and silver, so she quickly thanked him.

Huo Jiuge was not the only person who received the reward, but also the major officials who had made outstanding contributions during the epidemic. Among them, Pei Jingxing had been reinstated from the previous county governor. In addition to the censor, the emperor specifically assigned him to be responsible. This year's imperial examination.

The three-year scientific examination is about to begin, and this is one of the reasons why the emperor is anxious to call him back to Beijing.

The imperial examination was one of the important ways to select talents in ancient times. However, three years ago, there was news about bribing the examiners, which caused a large number of Confucian scholars to gather in the Hanlin Academy to prove their ambitions. That year, Pei Jingxing had already stayed away from the capital because of the death of his adoptive mother. , so this matter can only be closed hastily. This matter has already had a great impact. If it is not handled well this year, it will probably harm the foundation of the people.

Therefore, the emperor paid special attention to the upcoming imperial examination. Giving this to Pei Jingxing was an affirmation of his ability and a test for him.

Pei Jingxing stepped forward to receive the order and said that he would definitely handle the imperial examination well.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then announced his withdrawal from the court.

Huo Jiuge took the emperor's reward and booked a medical clinic, and announced that he would go out to a free clinic on the fifth day of every month to treat everyone for free.As soon as these words came out, Anrentang's reputation immediately spread in the capital.

After all this was dealt with, Huo Jiuge chose to secretly return to the Rongguo Duke's mansion.

She was hugged by Dongmei as soon as she entered the door. During the days when she was away, Dongmei and Qiuchan were worried about her safety every day.

Although they knew that their young lady had medical skills, what Huo Jiuge was facing was an epidemic that even the imperial doctors were helpless to deal with. So when they heard that their young lady was going to be unveiled, they thought she was joking, but the next day But I saw a letter left on the dressing table.

It said that during the days when she was away, Dongmei pretended to be herself and stayed in the Hexiang Courtyard, telling her not to go out and not to have contact with outsiders.
Only then did they realize that what she said last night was not a joke, she really had a way.

During these days of pretending to be her, in addition to worrying that Dongmei would be exposed, they were even more worried about the safety of their young lady.

Fortunately, due to the current epidemic, Mr. Huo ordered that no one in the family was allowed to leave his yard. Every day meals were delivered by special people, so this also resulted in the Qin family's spy not being able to monitor them for the time being. , and now that the epidemic has subsided and their young lady has returned home, Dongmei and Qiu Chan are not to mention how happy they are.

"Miss, is it really you who came up with the solution to the epidemic? There are rumors that it was a miracle doctor named Shen He."

"You're stupid!" Qiu Chan interrupted Dong Mei's words. She brought the hot tea to Huo Jiuge, and then said, "Didn't the lady prepare a set of men's clothes before she left? That Dr. He must be our lady in disguise." .”

After thinking about it for a while, Dongmei felt that it was the same, but she didn't understand why her young lady pretended to be someone else. Could it be that her identity was bad?If everyone knew that it was the young lady from Duke Rong's palace who came up with the solution to the epidemic, then the reputation of the most talented woman in the capital must belong to her young lady. In this case, they would not be looked down upon by those in the second house.

Huo Jiuge said: "Sometimes being too famous is not necessarily a good thing. Compared with those who boo you, mastering your true skills is the most important thing."

If your true identity is exposed in front of people, it will definitely attract people's attention, especially those in the second house. They are the people who hate you the most. Besides, you also have to investigate the truth about the murder of the original owner's parents, so hiding your identity is the best option. Wise choice.

Although Dongmei and Qiuchan didn't know the specific plans of their young lady, they both understood one thing, that is, their young lady had completely changed since she came back from the palace.

She is no longer the fifth young lady of the Huo family who allowed others to bully her. Now she is not only smart, but also has a strategy.

Ever since the incident at the ancestral hall, Mr. Huo has had doubts about Qin's ability. Just because no one can take over the entire Rongguo Palace for the time being, the power to run the family still belongs to her. However, they believe that as long as their young lady If the current situation continues to develop, then the Rongguo Duke's Mansion will return to her hands sooner or later.

On the contrary, the second room and the whole family will be kicked out!
