Bai Xilie was startled.
Unexpectedly, his daughter had already thought it through without his instructions.
Bai Zhi’er smiled sweetly, her pink cheeks puffed up, exuding an innocent and lovely appearance.
"Before setting off, mother had already instructed me, don’t worry, father, this little one is very mindful!"
Bai Xilie couldn’t help but laugh heartily, his large hand brushing over his daughter’s forehead bangs.
"It seems I have underestimated Zhi Bao."
Next, Bai Zhi’er wrote down the prescription and dosage.
Bai Xilie instructed the people at the Imperial Hospital to prepare the medicine according to the Princess’s prescription.
However, they didn’t rush to announce it publicly but waited three days until someone from outside the palace reported—
Prince Kang was completely cured.
The red rashes on his body had disappeared, and even the discomfort was gone.
Upon hearing the news, Bai Xilie immediately issued an edict, proclaiming that Princess Cuicuo had a divine revelation in her dreams that provided the cure for smallpox.
And that Prince Kang was already recovered.
He ordered the Imperial Guard to post notices throughout the city!
Princess Cuicuo was able, during the Emperor’s distress, to provide a solution for smallpox.
Many began to praise the Emperor’s little princess as a blessing star that brings good fortune!
The historian who previously offended Bai Zhi’er also documented this incident, incorporating it into the annals to be passed down to future generations.
He repeatedly wanted to meet the princess in person to apologize, but Bai Xilie refused.
"If you want to see the Princess, first write a hundred letters of apology for me to see, and when I have forgiven you, then we can talk about meeting the Princess." Bai Xilie coldly refused.
The historian knew he had displeased the Emperor and could only accept it.
He wrote an apology letter daily without fail.
The prescription was soon implemented, and not only did the patients in the city recover one by one.
Soon, even the Palace Attendants in the Clothes Cleaning Bureau who were infected gradually recovered.
More and more people praised the Princess as their savior and a blessing star descended from heaven.
However, at this time, two people went out onto the streets to slander the current Emperor Bai Xilie.
"Bai Xilie is a usurper who sought power, destroying the former dynasty’s pure dragon bloodline with his villainous ways!"
"Do you still believe he will be a wise ruler, or are you waiting for the Heavenly God to send punishment before you’ll understand?"
"The Great Chu will not last long; Bai Xilie is a cruel and tyrannical despot! His daughter, Princess Cuicuo Bai Zhi’er, is an ominous star causing disaster!"
These two people spreading rumors were immediately caught by government officers on the spot.
The next day, they were executed and publicly displayed.
People naturally did not believe them.
If it weren’t for the Princess dreaming of the prescription, how could so many lives have been saved, rescuing everyone from anxiety and fear?
Some even tried privately to study the Princess’s prescription to develop medicine.
However, there was an herb called Wuxiang Pearl that no one but Bai Zhi’er could find!
Even if someone searched through ancient texts, they could only find one line—
"Born in summer, grows in snow."
An herb nurtured by snow in summer was unheard of.
Thus, more and more people believed that Bai Zhi’er was a blessing star sent by God.
On the night those two rumor-mongers were executed.
The night sky was filled with thunder and lightning, crackling loudly as if it would shatter the heavens and earth!
Even Bai Zhi’er was so scared she covered her ears, hiding in Bai Xilie’s arms.
"Mother is angry, I’m scared~"
Bai Xilie was puzzled at the time.
The next day, an Imperial Guard urgently reported.
"Emperor, the former emperor’s mausoleum was struck by lightning last night!"
Bai Xilie was somewhat surprised and sent people to investigate thoroughly.
It turned out to be more than just a lightning strike.
The villagers nearby claimed to have seen many bolts of lightning striking directly from the sky onto the mausoleum.
Roughly estimating over a dozen strikes.
Dazzlingly splintering the former dynasty’s magnificent mausoleum into charred earth.
Yet piles of gold, silver, and jade were exposed.
This matter quickly spread throughout the Capital, causing an uproar in the court and the public.
Previously, people constantly proclaimed that the former dynasty had a pure dragon bloodline protected by the heavenly god and accused Bai Xilie of being an illegitimate usurper emperor.
Now, the fact that over a dozen bolts of lightning from heaven blasted open the former dynasty’s ancestral tomb.
