My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 492 - 333 The Empress Plan_3

Pleasing the common people and increasing one's reputation among them can potentially influence the choices of neutral courtiers, but there's no necessary connection between the two.

The most effective method, of course, is to directly buy them off.

From this perspective, King Sheng has always been quite clear-minded.

On the other hand, the Sixth Princess is somewhat too idealistic.

In the past, when helping King Sheng, because of the Yin Yang School's prophecy, Li Nuo mostly went with the flow.

If the target switched to the Sixth Princess, he must ensure that everything is foolproof.

From the perspective of the Medical School, no matter how many medical colleges are built or how many people are cured, it's not as valuable as gaining the support of the officials in the Imperial Hospital.

Zhao Country is a sacred land for the Medical School, and the court pays more attention to it, making the status of Zhao Country's Imperial Hospital higher than that of Daxia.

In Daxia, the Imperial Hospital is under the jurisdiction of Taichang Si, and the Imperial Physician Order is merely a seventh-rank official position.

But in Zhao Country, the Imperial Hospital is an independent government office, and the Imperial Physician Order is a genuine Standard Fourth Rank official, eligible to participate in major state affairs. Even the two Chief Imperial Doctors hold the position of Standard Fifth Rank.

This means that during elections, the Imperial Hospital has three votes.

These three votes are what Li Nuo can strive for.

These days, Li Nuo has met quite a few from the Medical School, but not anyone from the Imperial Hospital.

This is not surprising, as he is with the Sixth Princess, who previously represented King Sheng. Those imperial physicians are not only from the Medical School but also courtiers and cannot easily take sides.

Someone like Doctor Sun, who does not hold an official position in the court, naturally has more freedom.

After dinner, Li Nuo walked out of the courtyard.

Doctor Sun was consulting in the Princess Mansion. After he finished seeing those patients, Li Nuo called him aside.

A moment later, Doctor Sun looked at Li Nuo in astonishment and asked, "Doctor Li wants to see the Imperial Physician Order?"

Li Nuo asked, "Doctor Sun doesn't know him?"

Doctor Sun replied, "Of course I know him. The Imperial Physician Order is my senior brother. Whatever he can do, I can do as well. Why is Doctor Li looking for him?"

Li Nuo did not expect that Doctor Sun would have such a relationship with the Imperial Physician Order; he indeed found the right person.

There was no doubt about Doctor Sun's medical skills for Li Nuo.

But, unfortunately, Doctor Sun had no votes in hand.

Li Nuo said, "I have some matters to discuss with him. Could Doctor Sun introduce me?"

Doctor Sun did not ask for details, nodded, and said, "Alright then..."

After dinner, the Imperial Hospital had already finished work. Li Nuo and Doctor Sun left the Princess Mansion together.

Upon arriving at the residence of the Imperial Physician Order, Li Nuo learned that not only the Imperial Physician Order but even the two Chief Imperial Doctors were from Medicine King Valley.

As the only medical power with Fifth Realm cultivation, Medicine King Valley also holds a certain influence over the court.

The entire Imperial Hospital was practically under their control.

After a short ride of over a quarter of an hour, the two of them stopped in front of a luxurious mansion.

Although the official position of the Imperial Physician Order was much lower than that of the Minister of Revenue, his mansion was more imposing. As a top-tier member of the Medical School, he could not be short of money.

The gatekeeper at the Imperial Physician Order's mansion obviously recognized Doctor Sun.

He led the two to a guest room, and soon, a figure walked in from outside.

The person had jet-black hair, a spirited demeanor, and smooth, delicate skin, looking to be in his early forties.

In fact, the Imperial Physician Order was older than Doctor Sun. freewēbnoveℓ.com

However, he was more adept at health preservation and anti-aging, which Doctor Sun had already mentioned to Li Nuo on their way.

As soon as he walked into the room, his gaze locked firmly onto Sun Jing.

Doctor Sun looked at him with a smile, without hiding his aura.

The middle-aged man scowled and asked, "Why are you here?"

Doctor Sun smiled and said, "It's been a long time, so I came to visit my senior brother. Is that not allowed?"

"Visit?"

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "You're here to visit or to show off? I don't see what you have to be so proud of. Solving smallpox wasn't your doing, yet you boast about it..."

Among all the disciples of their master, his cultivation was the highest and his status the highest.

In Medicine King Valley, he was the senior disciple.

In the court, he was the Imperial Physician Order.

Junior Brother Sun couldn't even enter the Imperial Hospital, yet he became a hero for curing smallpox, etching his name in medical history, which left him deeply resentful.

Seeing him come all this way to flaunt his advancement in cultivation only infuriated him further.

His gaze swept over and fell on the young man beside Sun Jing.

At first glance, he was taken aback.

At the age of barely twenty, this young man had nearly reached the Third Realm in cultivation. When did the Medical School have such a young talent?

Moreover, why was he with Sun Jing?

Could he be Sun Jing's disciple?

Not only was Sun Jing flaunting his cultivation, but he also intended to show off his disciple!

How could Sun Jing have the right to accept such a brilliant disciple, it drove him mad!

Li Nuo cupped his hands and said, "I am Li Nuo, greetings to Doctor Chen."

Chen Zhong raised an eyebrow; it turned out to be him.

Lately, he had caused quite a stir in Zhao Country's Medical School. It was said that the solution for smallpox was his idea, and the medical book he was compiling was extremely innovative, attracting numerous members of the Medical School who were eager to contribute their names.

He had long wanted to meet such a legendary figure.

However, he was in the camp of the Fourth Prince, while he himself was the Imperial Physician Order, making it inappropriate to engage with him, so he hadn't taken action.

Unexpectedly, today this man had come looking for him himself.

Chen Zhong cupped his hands and said, "So it's Doctor Li, I've heard much about you."

Then he looked at Doctor Sun and asked, "Did you come today just to show off your cultivation?"

Doctor Sun shook his head and said, "Actually, it's Doctor Li who wishes to meet you..."
