Chapter 226 No matter how capable he is, he can't outlast Doctor Du
Qiu'er has been waiting in the carriage. She has to leave as soon as possible, in case Ye Tingxiao wakes up.
Before Qi Wang Ouyang Qing's secret guards could implement his plan, they saw Yang Yurong boarding the carriage and leaving. Did she succeed? Things were going too smoothly. Could there be a trick?
Yetingxiao's tall figure was hidden behind the window, watching the person who stole the jade pendant go away.
As soon as Yang Yurong walked out of the box, Ye Tingxiao got up, walked to the window, and watched her back as she left in a hurry.
Ye Ye Er came over and looked down.
Ye Yi was the first to speak: "Tsk tsk tsk! This daughter of the Minister of Rites is really ungentlemanly, actually stealing and cheating."
Ye Tingxiao, who didn't know whether he was a chicken or a dog, glared at him coldly, almost scaring Ye Yi into crawling into a hole in the ground.
How could he forget that his master was not a chicken or dog, but a wise and powerful prince? He was just a bad mouth and said it wrongly.
Ye Er glared at Ye Yi and looked at the carriage speeding away from the teahouse: "Is the King of Qi desperate? He even resorted to such despicable means, using a woman to plot against others. He is really capable."
Ye Tingxiao walked back to the table and sat down. Ye Yi fearlessly picked up a plate of pastries, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and then stuffed a piece into Ye Er's mouth.
He was eating and talking at the same time, and the snack crumbs were splashing out, but he didn't notice it at all. Ye Tingxiao glared at him again, and he restrained himself a little.
He squatted aside holding a snack plate: "No matter how capable he is, he can't beat Doctor Du. Doctor Du has figured out all his shitty ideas.
I don't obey anyone in my life except Doctor Du. As long as she is here, even the gods and the gods will be useless."
Ye Er showed a happy smile on his face: "That's right, the King of Qi and his concubine thought their plan was perfect, but if they wake up tomorrow morning, they might be pissed off to death."
"Have all the people been arranged?" Ye Tingxiao asked, "Are they reliable?"
"Absolutely." Ye Er bowed and replied, "The people in the market have all received favors from Doctor Du. Tomorrow morning, the lectures will start at the same time in the teahouse and on the street. It will definitely be exciting."
Ye Tingxiao curled the corners of his mouth slightly, picked up the teapot, poured himself a glass of water, and poured a glass for Ye Yier and Ye Er respectively, motioning them to sit down.
Ye Yi didn't hesitate and sat down with the plate in his arms. He choked on the dry snack and poured the water into his mouth.
Ye Er was better than him. He took a sip of water and put down the cup in his hand: "Master! King Qi is so cruel that he actually wants to target Doctor Du. Should we do something?"
"No need." Ye Tingxiao sipped his tea slowly. "You don't need to do anything about his business. Just stay still. His target is the blueprint of the crossbow. Your most important task is to keep an eye on the people in the manufacturing department of the camp."
"I understand." Ye Er took a bite of the snack and said sarcastically, "The King of Qi is really bold. He actually came to us to get the blueprints of the crossbow. Why?"
Ye Tingxiao didn't say anything, thinking, with the gold and silver he brought! It's a pity that those things were taken away by his Wanwan, and even the black old demon was killed and buried.
My wish to get the blueprint of the crossbow is probably going to fail. My wish to get his personal jade pendant and slander him is also going to fail. I wonder if the King of Qi will get angry and fall ill again.
The medicine cost 12,000 taels of silver per bottle, and I only bought two bottles in total. If I don't use it sparingly, I might not be able to make it back to the capital.
"He has a big head, so he is the King of Qi." Ye Yi teased, "Anyone who sees him will have to fawn over him and give his life and property to him."
Ye Tingxiao still didn't say anything, sipping his tea slowly. He didn't get up until all the snacks on the table were gone before he got up and walked downstairs.
The waiter ran over to greet him with a smile on his face: "My Lord! The shopkeeper said that the old rules still apply."
"Okay!" Yetingxiao agreed and walked out.
This teahouse belongs to my eldest uncle. He keeps accounts every time he comes and asks for the exclusive private room reserved by my eldest uncle for his family.
I just pretended to cough and took Yang Yurong upstairs. The storyteller from the teahouse was already sitting in the next room.
Ye Er told him in detail about his master's breaking off of the engagement with Yang Yurong, and asked him to write the story tonight, contact the storytellers in major teahouses in the city, and start giving the lectures throughout Liangjun City tomorrow.
He told the whole story from beginning to end, how Ye Tingxiao was injured, how he returned to the capital to cancel the engagement, how he discovered that his fiancée was having an affair with the King of Qi, etc.
He also talked about how he went to see Doctor Du after returning to Liang County and was rejected by the young lady from a noble family in Liang County.
He wanted to highlight what happened this evening, especially the theft of the jade pendant. He suspected that the Prince of Qi and his concubine were trying to sabotage the marriage between his son and Doctor Du.
You can't use an affirmative tone, you have to express suspicion. Even if the King of Qi wants to make trouble, he won't be able to find any evidence.
Yang Yurong did steal the jade pendant. If she didn't intend to ruin the prince's marriage, what else could she do with the jade pendant? Could it be that the prince's concubine still had feelings for the prince?
Even if there was real affection, the King of Qi could not admit it, and Yang Yurong was even less likely to admit it. The purpose of taking the jade pendant could only be to ruin the Crown Prince's marriage, nothing else.
The storyteller also knew that Doctor Du of the People's Hospital was a miracle doctor who treated all patients equally, regardless of their wealth or status. As long as you went there for treatment, everyone would wait in line, and no one was more noble than anyone else.
At most, rich people don’t have to queue up themselves, but can let the servants around them queue up. That’s the only difference.
When they heard that the King of Qi wanted to take Doctor Du to the capital to deliberately sabotage her marriage with the Crown Prince, all the storytellers were extremely indignant.
They were also poor people at the bottom of society, and the People's Clinic often gave them medicine, which they also accepted. If Doctor Du really went to the capital, who would be in charge of the People's Clinic?
Who will provide medical treatment and medicine for these poor people?
The King of Qi is really hateful. Even if no one in the capital can cure his illness, he can still come to Liangjun City to find Doctor Du. Why must he get rid of him?
This matter must be done well, his conspiracy must be crushed, and Doctor Du, who belongs to their Liangjun City, must be saved.
The storyteller does this job and is very good at it. The people he gathers are all veterans. After listening to it once, the whole story will be remembered by them.
"Everyone! Tomorrow I hope everyone will show their best skills. Let's not exaggerate, but be realistic and explain the matter clearly to everyone in Liangjun City. The purpose of the King of Qi's visit is to disrupt the marriage between the Crown Prince and Doctor Du, and then take Doctor Du to the capital."
"That won't work. Doctor Du is our Liangjun City Doctor Du. We can't let the King of Qi take him away. The King of Qi has evil intentions in using his concubine to seduce the Crown Prince."
"Don't worry! Let's all tell this story together. Even if the King of Qi wants to punish him, he can't do it. The law does not punish everyone. We must tell this story well. If he really gets rid of Doctor Du, when will Liangjun City be able to expect such a good doctor."
