Chapter 365 - 366: Bestow Marriage
Shao He was just about to administer another acupuncture treatment to Wei Wan when a servant boy rushed in abruptly.
"Doctor Shao, Doctor Shao..."
Before seeing him, his voice was already heard. Shao He looked at the panting figure running towards her and asked, "What happened, to cause such panic?"
The servant boy gasped heavily and replied, "The palace, someone from the palace has come to deliver a decree, Doctor Shao, please go quickly."
"An Imperial Decree?" Shao He had never expected that someone from the palace would come at this time.
She had no choice but to set aside the acupuncture and asked Zhao Yuebei to take her mother back to her room.
She then led the servant boy to the front hall. Qingxia saw the visitor and stepped forward to greet him but was stopped by Shao He before she could speak.
Eunuch Zhu, who had met Shao He before and was somewhat more polite to her, said, "Doctor Shao, receive the decree."
"This commoner girl receives the decree." Shao He and the others knelt down.
Eunuch Zhu unfolded the Imperial Decree and read aloud, "By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Observing that Doctor Shao possesses a pure nature and a heart as refined as orchids, and is also intelligent and nimble, gentle, and virtuous. She is hereby granted in marriage to the Fifth Prince as his Consort, let it be respected!"
Qingxia was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening, and someone shocked her out of her daze with a nudge.
