Chapter 158 Bullying Dr. Li
"Wait! I remember! It's you!" The King of the Northwest suddenly shouted. The loud voice scared Li Qingting, who was about to get up, and he shivered and sat back down.
"That...little one...Wang Daniu..." Li Qingting said timidly, his voice as small as a mosquito or fly.
"Wang Daniu? How dare you deceive me?" The King of the Northwest already had a majestic demeanor, and now he had drunk a lot of wine, so his mood was even worse. Once he got angry, he became even more overbearing.
"I...I..." Li Qingting was too frightened to speak. He could tell that the King of the Northwest was drunk. However, he couldn't help but wonder what could have happened to make the King so drunk?
"Your name is Wang Xiaoniu, but look at your thin arms and legs, how could you be Wang Daniu?" Northwest King narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at the little old man in front of him.
"Pfft..." Mu Xin couldn't help but laughed out loud. It seemed that the prince was really drunk.
"Mu Xin, do you think his name is Wang Xiaoniu?" The King of the Northwest turned and asked his subordinates.
"Your Highness, his name is not Wang Xiaoniu. You forgot. He is Li Qingting, the Miracle Doctor Li!" Mu Xin suppressed his laughter and explained kindly, which exposed Li Qingting's lie.
"Li Qingting? Divine Doctor Li?" The King of the Northwest picked up his wine glass again, tilted his head back and drank a glass of wine. After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, "It's you!"
"Your Highness, you're welcome. It's me." Li Qingting saw that he couldn't pretend any longer, so he had to bite the bullet and frankly admit his identity.
However, he secretly thought: Three years ago, he saved the young prince, and the King of the Northwest rewarded him with a thousand gold coins. Will he give him another reward this time? Even if he has a bad temper, he is still the young prince's savior!
"Mu Xin, chop off this guy's head for me!" The King of the Northwest slammed the table, his face full of anger, and shouted.
"Ah?" Li Qingting was frightened. Perhaps she had heard it wrong, and her body shrank back involuntarily.
"Your Majesty?" Mu Xin also looked at his own prince, puzzled. What kind of order was this? Was he just trying to scare Doctor Li for fun, or was he really going to do something serious?
"Cut it down, cut it down! Stop dawdling and hurry up!" The King of the Northwest frowned, his eyes filled with impatience as he kept urging.
"This..." Li Qingting had never expected the King of the Northwest to be so ruthless. She hadn't provoked him, so how could he want to chop someone off the moment they met? She turned pale with fear.
"Your Highness, why do you want to chop off his head?" Of course, Mu Xin couldn't just chop off someone's head, let alone the head of the best doctor in the world.
"If it weren't for his bad idea, how could my son become what he is now!" The King of the Northwest said in a low voice, revealing extreme depression and frustration that he had nowhere to vent. Now he finally found an opponent who could frame him and vent his anger.
"Ah?" Li Qingting looked at Mu Xin in confusion, as if for help. How had she offended him?
Mu Xin understood and said, "Divine Doctor Li, do you still remember when you saved our little prince three years ago?"
"Yeah! I'm talking to you..." Li Qingting cursed inwardly, "Since you remember that I saved your little prince, why are you still clamoring to chop off my benefactor's head? What the hell!"
"It seems that I remember the method you proposed..." Mu Xin paused halfway through his words.
"The proposed method?" Li Qingting frowned and tried hard to recall what method he had proposed at the beginning.
Oh, right. The young prince had already taken the elixir that caused him to fake his death, but that kid Qingyi stole the Seven Juice Grass. If he hadn't been treated in time, the young prince's fake death would have become real. And then... then he proposed that they perform the Zhougong ritual and even taught that kid some methods... What happened? Didn't he save the young prince? Is he going to die again?
"What's wrong? Has the young prince's poison relapsed?" Li Qingting asked bravely.
"Well...just...forget it." Mu Xin hesitated, not knowing how to start. It was really difficult to tell this to outsiders.
"Has something happened to the young prince?" Li Qingting guessed, otherwise why would the King of the Northwest be so angry and come here to drink alone?
"Doctor Li, do you have any elixir that can help my son leave that kid?" The King of the Northwest suddenly raised his head and asked Li Qingting in front of him.
"Huh?" Li Qingting was confused and had no idea what the King of the Northwest meant.
"The prince is drunk, let's go back to the palace." Seeing everyone in the restaurant looking at them, Mu Xin hurried forward to persuade them.
"Let's go back to the palace and ask Dr. Li to drink Feixia." The King of the Northwest stood up shakily, his steps staggering a little.
Li Qingting had been planning to take the opportunity to say goodbye, but when he heard the words "Feixia Fine Wine," his eyes lit up and he couldn't move. He had three major hobbies: fine wine, beautiful women, and medicine, and of these three, fine wine ranked first.
Just like that, under the temptation of Feixia's wine, Li Qingting followed the King of the Northwest and Mu Xin back to the palace.
When they arrived at the palace, Mu Xin carefully helped the King of the Northwest into the bedroom, and a maid came forward to serve him.
After Mu Xin came out, he saw Li Qingting and said with a smile, "Divine Doctor Li, you should stay in the palace for a few days. Doctor Lin is here too, so you two brothers can have a good chat."
"What's there for him and I to reminisce about? Don't tell him I'm here!" Li Qingting quickly waved his hand to refuse. He was now completely sober, and thought to himself: "Oh no! How could I have followed him to the palace? What if Xiao Linzi found out? How could I go to the Medicine Valley to steal herbs?"
"Well, the prince has invited you so kindly. To be honest, the Feixia tea in our palace is brewed by the prince himself. It tastes so good, wow, he wouldn't let anyone else drink it except you." Mu Xin was so smart, she knew exactly how to keep Li Qingting. Whether Li Qingting would leave or not would have to wait until the prince sobered up.
"What about Feixia..." Li Qingting's thirst for alcohol was instantly aroused, his Adam's apple moved unconsciously, and he asked hurriedly.
"Don't worry, don't worry. We will make arrangements after the prince wakes up. Do you want to stay with Doctor Lin, or do you want to have a separate room arranged for you?" Mu Xin asked politely.
"Don't let him know that I'm in the palace." Li Qingting quickly refused again.
"Okay, butler, take Doctor Li, um, no, take Wang Daniu to the guest room to rest." Mu Xin said with a smile.
"Yes," the butler replied, but he was puzzled. He wondered what Master Mu Xin was planning. Wasn't this withered old man the same Divine Doctor Li who had come to the palace three years ago? He'd arranged for someone to bathe and change his clothes when he first arrived. How could he have forgotten? Why was he calling him Wang Daniu again?
