In her previous life, the scumbag faked his death at the border. Deceived by others, she believed her feelings for him were profound. She committed suicide at his grave, following him to the afterl...
Chapter 154 It’s not just women who can lie
"What do you mean? General Cheng's poison hasn't been cured yet?"
The tent curtain had been opened by the impatient soldiers, and the two leaders were busy looking for ropes.
Cheng Duan didn't even turn his head and said with full force: "Get out, I won't die for the time being!"
The two of them turned around and left without hesitation, and even did not forget to stop those who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to join in the fun.
After everyone left, Cheng Duan looked up at Zhuang Shihan and asked with a smile, "Princess Shihan, don't you understand what people are saying?"
"Are you really not afraid of death?" Zhuang Shihan's face turned cold.
She looked at Cheng Duan with his rough eyebrows and couldn't help but call him an idiot in her heart.
I don’t know what kind of magic potion Song Yanxi gave him that made him disregard his own life and believe in her half-baked medical skills.
If she had known that he was so fearless of death, she should have taken Brother Feng for a walk in the woods for a while, waiting until the poison had penetrated his heart and lungs and he was vomiting blood and was about to die before coming back.
She just didn't believe that by that time, he would still be as tough as he is now!
Cheng Duan stretched his numb arm and said nonchalantly, "I believe in you, my lady. It's just an arm, it's not like I can't afford to lose."
Lin Tingfeng's eyes were complicated for a moment. "There is obviously a more reliable method. Why is General Cheng doing this?"
"I'm happy."
Cheng Duan scoffed and rolled his eyes, saying, "Just now, when your lover was using me to make things difficult for Princess Yong'an, you didn't even dare to fart. Now you're acting like a decent person."
He raised an eyebrow, "Why, is it that even hypocrisy and cunning are passed down from generation to generation in your Lin family?"
"Cheng Duan!" Lin Tingfeng was angry.
Others can say whatever they want about him, but they cannot bring trouble to his family, especially his father, who would rather stay alone in the south for so many years and illuminate the direction of his life like a guide in order to prevent the Lin family from being completely defeated.
He will never allow anyone to insult him!
Cheng Duan pointed at his nose and said with contempt, "Come on, hit me here, it would be best if you can kill me with one punch.
Otherwise, I will not only say that everyone in the Lin family is a coward today, but I will say it every day and every year from now on..."
"You're looking for death!" Lin Tingfeng clenched his fists, finally unable to bear it any longer.
He was about to teach Cheng Duan a lesson when Zhuang Shihan stopped him, "Brother Feng, calm down. He's just using his words to provoke you on purpose."
Lin Tingfeng's eyes were bloodshot. "So what?"
As a son, if he can tolerate others humiliating his father and ancestors in front of him, what is the point of living?
It would be better to just hit your head and die to put an end to it, so that after a hundred years in the underworld, you won’t be scolded for being spineless and you won’t be able to face the ancestors of the Lin family.
Zhuang Shihan was startled by him and couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "Your father was such a scumbag before. He did things and didn't let others say anything..."
"What did you say?"
"nothing."
Avoiding Lin Tingfeng's suspicious gaze, Zhuang Shihan looked at Song Yanxi and softened her tone, saying, "I was a little aggressive just now, but I was targeting the matter, not the person, and I didn't mean to target you intentionally.
You know, Brother Feng and I are in love with each other. There's no need for me to be jealous of you, and I'm not the type to be shy."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Duan burst out laughing.
He turned to look at Mo Jinchuan and said, "Your Highness, I finally understand what the Imperial Concubine said earlier. This woman's mouth is so deceitful that she won't pay for it."
Mo Jinchuan glanced at Lin Tingfeng who was protecting Zhuang Shihan, and said meaningfully, "It's not just women who can lie."
Cheng Duan thought about it and said very pertinently: "That's right, there are some bastards among us men who are really bad."
He didn't mention the name directly, but it was almost the same as including the full name.
She swore an oath to deceive someone into marrying him, and she took care of his whole family for two years, giving him both money and effort. But he turned around and brought back the love of his life, and Jane Eyre wanted to kick her out.
A heartless, ungrateful and treacherous villain like him would be spitted at and cursed by anyone who reads it even if it was written in a storybook.
"So?" Song Yanxi smiled slightly, "What does Princess Shihan want to say?"
Zhuang Shihan was tormented by the two men, her face looked so ugly that she even wanted to kill someone.
But when she thought of the soldiers waiting outside to watch the excitement, she could only bite the bullet and say, "The poison General Cheng was poisoned with is extremely rare and toxic. Even I may not be completely sure of its effectiveness. How about you and I work together to detoxify him?"
Song Yanxi's expression was cold, "No need to bother."
Zhuang Shihan could barely contain the rage in her chest as she demanded, "You're a doctor too. You should know that the slower the detoxification process, the more danger General Cheng faces."
She deliberately raised her voice, and spoke each word with a resounding voice, "Can you bear to watch General Cheng die?"
There was an eerily quiet moment outside the tent.
Zhuang Shihan thought that she had achieved her goal and was about to pursue the victory when the curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted up.
Several figures carrying medicine boxes rushed in, all panting.
Seeing Doctor Xu in the lead, Zhuang Shihan's face instantly fell, "What are you doing here?"
These old guys have average medical skills and are extremely conservative. Every time she performs surgery on the soldiers, it's as if she is taking their lives.
They have no ability other than finding fault. I really don't know what the point is for Your Majesty to keep them.
Doctor Xu ignored her completely, walked over quickly, put down the medicine box, and together with two colleagues, examined Cheng Duan's arm and took his pulse.
When the last person frowned and withdrew his hand, Zhuang Shihan said impatiently, "Once you have finished your investigation, leave immediately. If you delay any longer, General Cheng's life will be in jeopardy."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Doctor Xu turned his head and glared at her, his beard shaking with anger.
Zhuang Shihan frowned, then covered her lips with her hands and chuckled as if she remembered something. She said with a look of understanding, "With your current level of skill, it's normal that you can't diagnose that he's been poisoned."
"Nonsense, incoherent."
The three military doctors exchanged glances, then took a step back and respectfully bowed to Song Yanxi, "Thank you, Princess Yong'an, for saving my life!"
If a deputy general died of poisoning before the army reached the border town, it would certainly shake the morale of the army.
When the Liang army gets the news, they will definitely take action.
So what she did today was more than just saving one person?
It’s really righteous!
Zhuang Shihan looked incredulous and said firmly, "That's absolutely impossible!"
She rushed forward and quickly placed her hand on Cheng Duan's wrist.
Her pulse was a little weak but not disorderly. It beat like a heavy hammer hitting her chest, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
"No, how is this possible..." Zhuang Shihan murmured.
Cheng Duan withdrew his hand and sneered, "Princess Yong'an is a highly skilled doctor. What's impossible? It's fine if you're not proficient enough in your skills and can't detoxify, but don't assume everyone is half-baked like you."
He returned all the words she had just used to mock Song Yanxi to her.
Zhuang Shihan didn't care about being angry. She looked at Song Yanxi with complicated eyes and asked for some unknown reason, "Have you found the antidote?"
