Chapter 268: The Temptation of Jiang Cha
Su Ping informed Su Bin about Qin Silong’s promise to him.
"Third Sister-in-law must have spoken highly of me. Third Brother, please convey my gratitude to Third Sister-in-law," Su Bin responded with a nod, though he couldn’t help feeling puzzled.
Why had Qin Silong’s attitude towards his second brother suddenly changed?
And why had Qin Zhenzhen forewarned him about Qin Silong’s military camp visit? Could there be a connection between these events?
These questions lingered in Su Bin’s mind, leading him to seek out Qin Zhenzhen. When he arrived at her room, he found Jiang Cha in conversation with them. Not wanting to intrude, Su Bin lingered nearby to listen.
Inside the room, Grandma Qin expressed her dissatisfaction, "Jiang Cha, get straight to the point and stop beating around the bush!"
Jiang Cha responded calmly, "First and foremost, I want to clarify that it wasn’t the Jiang family’s recommendation; it was the palace’s request for Zhenzhen to provide a consultation. We wouldn’t harm our own people, and Zhenzhen is the most promising talent among our generation in the Jiang family."
Grandma Qin’s irritation grew, "Enough with the nonsense. Get to the point."
Jiang Cha then revealed the crucial information, "The Empress Dowager suffers from a severe and unusual headache that has plagued her for a decade. Neither the imperial physicians nor the Jiang family elders have been able to alleviate her pain."
"So, Zhenzhen, there’s a 90% chance that you won’t be able to treat the Empress Dowager successfully. Moreover, the Empress Dowager’s irritability has grown during this period, and she has been known to harm those around her."
"She even went as far as killing two imperial physicians, let alone those commoner doctors summoned to the palace. If they fail to cure her, they’ll face a brutal beating."
