Chapter 603 Scapegoat
"I'm a doctor, not a dirty guy!" Doctor Xu put his hands into his sleeves.
General Wang pointed at Guo Sheng's nose and cursed, "How can Doctor Xu diagnose a patient without taking his pulse? The prince is unconscious, and you're still doing this. Do you have an ulterior motive?"
"General Wang, I just asked Doctor Xu to wash his hands before touching the prince. After all, the prince has too many wounds on his body. What if they fester?" Guo Sheng said meaningfully, "General Wang, you are so excited. Could it be that you have something on your hands?"
"nonsense."
General Wang scolded him angrily, but Guo Sheng, who was standing beside him, stepped forward, grabbed Doctor Xu's hand, and said, "Old Wang, please help me take a look."
Although Doctor Wang chose this name himself, everyone still respectfully calls him Old Wang!
"Yes." Doctor Xiao Wang had been prepared for a long time. Standing aside, he reached out and touched his hand, his eyes suddenly sharpening: "Tianshui poison? If it touches your body, your whole body will fester and you will die?"
The civilians invited in by Guo Sheng looked at this scene, and were momentarily incredulous. They looked at General Wang and said, "You, you actually want to harm the prince!"
"The prince saved all the people in Jiashui City. How could you harm the prince?"
"That's right, General Wang or General Li, we only recognize the prince!"
The woman and the burly man were not afraid of their lives at this moment and even dared to scold the general.
General Wang was speechless and said in defense, "What kind of poison is this? I don't know."
"Doctor Xu, is this true?"
General Wang looked at General Xu and scolded him, "Even if you have a grudge against the prince, you can't harm me! I really thought you were doing this for the prince's good!"
"Heh, General Wang, are you looking for a scapegoat? Then let's take a closer look. Who has the grudge, Doctor Xu or General Wang?" Guo Sheng grabbed Doctor Xu and took him out, asking, "Old Wang, is it okay for us to get infected with the poison on his hands?"
"Do you think you'll be alright just because you have thick skin?" Doctor Wang glared at him unhappily and said, "I'll put some medicine in the water later and you'll be fine after washing."
"That's good." Guo Sheng grabbed Doctor Xu and threw him outside, saying, "Everyone, come and see! This doctor has poison on his hands and wants to harm our prince!"
"I was wondering why they had to come and treat the prince when we already have a doctor. It turns out they wanted to harm him."
Guo Shengyang raised his voice so that the people outside could hear clearly. He had to publicize this matter to General Wang. He said, "General Wang, you just said you were doing this for the good of the prince, but in the end, you brought a doctor here and poisoned him."
"The prince hasn't woken up yet. When he wakes up, he will definitely ask about this matter."
Guo Sheng put a hat directly on General Wang's head and said, "The prince is kind to others. Why do you want to harm the prince, General Wang?"
"I didn't do that. Don't talk nonsense. How would I know that Doctor Xu wanted to harm the prince?" General Wang cried out that he was wronged and directly distanced himself from Doctor Xu. Doctor Xu's lips moved and he was about to speak, but when he looked up and saw General Wang's eyes, he dared not say anything.
"Princess, your guess is spot on! General Wang is really going to poison the prince!" Luo Kui quietly watched the movements outside through the small hole in the window. Seeing this scene, she asked excitedly: "Princess, how do you know that it was poison on his hands? And not medicine?"
"Isn't this simple?" Xiao Jiuyue raised an eyebrow. "General Wang is holding back the army and not coming to rescue the prince. He must be on the side of the Imperial Concubine. He had to take advantage of the prince's coma and bring the doctor to see him. He must be a weasel paying New Year's greeting to the chicken. He has ulterior motives."
"They want to harm the prince, and all they can do is use medicine. We will definitely check the medicine carefully. Only if it gets on your hands and you take his pulse, will it not arouse suspicion."
If Xiao Jiuyue had not studied pharmacology with her master, she would not have thought of this.
"Amazing!" Luo Kui looked at Xiao Jiuyue in admiration. She heard the noise outside and covered her mouth in surprise when she went to look again. She said angrily, "Princess, they are so cruel! Doctor Xu died immediately after being exposed!"
"Dead?" Xiao Jiuyue raised his eyebrows.
Luo Kui ran to the window again, looked out the small hole to see what was happening outside, and then came back to tell Xiao Jiuyue, "He's dead. He hid some medicine in his mouth and bit himself to death!"
"It seems that the other party came prepared." Xiao Jiuyue lowered her eyes, frowning and thinking, why did Prince Duan insist on the prince's death?
No, it should be the Imperial Noble Consort. Why does she want the prince to die?
Xiao Jiuyue took a deep breath and asked, "Is the prince okay?"
"It's okay, Mr. Wang is watching over you." Luo Kui said affirmatively.
General Wang outside quickly put all the blame on Doctor Xu. When Doctor Xu was here, he was respected, but when he died, even when he was carried out, he was kicked and punched by others!
"You'll never harm the prince!"
"Black-hearted."
"I'll beat you to death!"
“…”
The people threw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at Doctor Xu, and even if he died, he was not spared.
After Guo Sheng calmed the people down and closed the door, Xiao Jiuyue came out. She sat next to Jun Lie, picked up a knife, and patiently shaved his beard: "Your beard has grown so long, Xiao Xingxing is almost disgusted with you!"
"Wake up quickly, don't you want to talk to the little star?"
Xiao Jiuyue carefully shaved him, washed his face, and scrubbed his body while chattering to Jun Lie. However, Jun Lie, who had been in a coma, showed no sign of waking up.
"Master, didn't you say that his injuries were all external? Why hasn't he woken up yet?" At night, Xiao Jiuyue only ate a few bites of dinner. It was completely dark, and Jun Lie still hadn't woken up, which made her even more worried.
"This..." Doctor Wang shook his head and said doubtfully, "Logically speaking, he should be waking up."
"Where's Hua Qing?" Xiao Jiuyue glanced at Dong Gui. Dong Gui said, "Hua Qing is bandaging the wounds of the wounded soldiers and civilians and applying medicine."
"Then, let's wait until she's done before calling her." Xiao Jiuyue suppressed her anxiety and asked, "Master, are there a lot of wounded soldiers and civilians? Do we have enough medicine?"
When he had nothing to do during the day, Old Wang was always bandaging and treating the wounded soldiers and civilians. The ointments they brought were also consumed at a very fast rate.
"It's enough for now." Doctor Wang stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, we have the military doctor and Huaqing. When I left today, the wound had been bandaged almost completely. All that's left is to change the dressing."
"What a pity! If we had come a day earlier, we could have saved many more people." Doctor Xiao Wang said with emotion. Looking at the patients today, some of them could have been cured earlier, but they came too late.
"Yeah, if it had been a day earlier, it would have been fine." Xiao Jiuyue clutched her stomach and said self-reproachfully, "It's all my fault."
"Yuer, this is not your fault. I was too naive. The prince has been searching for this opportunity for so long. Even if we came earlier, we would not be able to bring the medicine in."
Doctor Wang was afraid that she would blame herself, so he said, "It was also very dangerous for He Changqing and his men to come in by water. Fortunately, the wolves came. Otherwise, those Xijiang soldiers would have guarded too tightly and nothing would have been transported in."
