Chapter 151 Can’t people have a little trust in each other?
When Cheng Duan heard Zhuang Shihan ask if she had touched something dirty, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and now he finally figured it out.
After all this time, this woman is still here being sarcastic and irritating Princess Yong'an!
Cheng Duan sneered and spoke before Song Yanxi could speak: "I've heard that Princess Shihan's medical skills are amazing. She can heal the dead and even bring back those who are halfway to the underworld. I think the little poison that Cheng Mouzhong has is not difficult for the princess to cure."
Zhuang Shihan raised her chin slightly, looking disdainful, "Of course it's not difficult."
She changed the subject, looking embarrassed and saying, "General Cheng, I also want to help you, but there is a rule in our sect that no disciple can take over a patient who is being treated by another doctor, and even I cannot make an exception.
General Cheng, I'm really sorry."
When has there ever been such a ridiculous rule in the Valley of Divine Doctors?
Song Yanxi met Mo Jinchuan's cold eyes and shook her head slightly.
All the disciples of the Divine Doctor Valley have taken it as their responsibility to cure diseases and save lives. The only rule is that they cannot treat or refuse to treat patients based on their wealth or poverty. They have never heard of such absurd remarks.
According to what she said, does that mean we should just stand by and watch when we encounter a quack doctor who kills someone?
Then why be a doctor? You might as well just kill yourself by hitting your head against a wall.
But there is one thing that His Royal Highness Prince Jin is not wrong about.
When her master was in power, the Valley of Divine Doctors was nearly in turmoil because its disciples were flaunting their skills and obtained secret manuals that were not to be passed on to others.
Master's two senior brothers and one junior sister all died in that unexpected disaster while trying to protect one of the disciples in the valley from escaping.
Since then, the master has lived in seclusion with his only two remaining disciples, and has set a rule that he will never recruit disciples from outside, and will not allow disciples in the valley to reveal their identities when practicing medicine outside and cause unnecessary trouble.
Apart from Song Yanxi, the few disciples in the valley were mostly helpless orphans picked up by the three masters and apprentices when they were practicing medicine outside. There were only about twenty people in total, young and old.
These were brothers or uncles. She had met them all during the years she had been seeking medical treatment in the valley. She knew them all and remembered their names and appearances.
Although I haven't been back in the past two years, we have been exchanging letters, but I haven't heard that anyone has accepted a female disciple named Zhuang.
However, the acupuncture method used by Zhuang Shihan that day was indeed the acupuncture method commonly used in the Valley of Divine Doctors.
That won’t work. Where did she learn it from?
But if she learned it secretly, how would she know that the person giving the acupuncture was from the Valley of Divine Doctors?
"What kind of rules are there?" Cheng Duan's face darkened, and he looked at me as if to say, "I'm not well educated, so don't lie to me," clearly showing that he didn't believe it.
He turned his head and asked Song Yanxi, "Have you heard of this rule, Princess?"
Zhuang Shihan frowned, "She picked up two medical books from who knows where and dared to call herself a doctor who can cure diseases and save lives. What does she know?"
"Hey, woman, why are you talking so harshly?"
"Is it worse than General Cheng's scolding in the street so early in the morning?"
"You!" Cheng Duan was so angry that his face flushed and he choked out a few words, "You are so sharp-tongued."
Zhuang Shihan smiled widely, "Thank you for the compliment!"
Cheng Duan's face darkened even more, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I've never seen anyone as shameless as you in my life."
Zhuang Shihan raised her eyebrows, but instead of getting angry she smiled and said, "That's such a pity."
"What a pity?"
"You've lived all these years in vain. You have strong limbs but a simple mind."
Without waiting for Cheng Duan to explode, she turned to look at Lin Tingfeng, covered her lips and chuckled, "Brother Feng, if I had known that anyone could be a general, why would I still be here working as a military doctor?"
The implication was that he was unworthy of his position and was not even as good as her, a woman.
"If you have the guts, say it again!" Cheng Duan suddenly raised his hand and slammed it hard on the low table next to him.
Zhuang Shihan clicked her tongue and was about to laugh at his incompetent rage when she heard a "crack" and the low table in front of her instantly broke in two, with the break neatly aligned.
Lin Tingfeng pulled her behind him with a cold face and said unhappily, "A gentleman should use words, not fists. General Cheng, are you going to resort to violence just because you can't convince him?"
"Who is the gentleman? Are you a gentleman?" Cheng Duan asked instead of answering.
Without waiting for his answer, he immediately taunted him, "So General Lin can speak human language now. Just now, he was standing there motionless. If you didn't know, you would think he was some thousand-year-old turtle that had escaped and passed away on the spot.
I'm warning you, Mr. Lin, if you can't manage your woman, I don't mind writing a letter to His Majesty, asking him to find a few people to help you!"
Thinking that he was nominally the nephew of Emperor Xuande, Lin Tingfeng clenched his fists to suppress his unhappiness and explained, "Don't be offended, General Cheng. Shihan was just a little outspoken and didn't mean any harm."
"Then why were you so anxious when I called her shameless?"
Cheng Duan smiled coldly and said, "Your Majesty has praised me personally for what I said."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhuang Shihan, whose face had turned green with anger, and said loudly, "Princess Shihan, please don't be offended. Cheng has absolutely no ill intentions!"
Zhuang Shihan's expression turned even more grim as she gritted her teeth and said, "You're a gutsy person! If you have the guts, don't beg me to detoxify you!"
"Even if my arm is broken, I won't bother you."
"Okay, I'll wait and see!"
After saying that, Zhuang Shihan pulled Lin Tingfeng and was about to leave.
Just at this moment, Mo Jinchuan's cold voice sounded in the tent.
"If I remember correctly, Princess Shihan should be from the Divine Doctor Valley."
Hearing these three crucial words, Zhuang Shihan's steps suddenly froze, and she blurted out, "Your Highness is correct, but I was accepted as a disciple by Master while he was traveling abroad, and I have never officially returned to become his disciple."
As expected, she was right. His Royal Highness Prince Jin had doubts about her identity.
I really don’t know if everyone in the royal family is crazy. They are always doubting this or that.
Can't people have a little trust in each other?
"So that's how it is." Mo Jinchuan nodded. "So, the rules the princess just mentioned were set by your master, not the Divine Doctor Valley."
Zhuang Shihan said stubbornly, "My master has a strange personality and has set many rules that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. It is really difficult to disobey his orders. I hope Your Highness will understand."
Cheng Duan sneered and said sarcastically, "I was wondering why the Divine Doctor Valley had so many broken rules. After all this time, they are just using other people's names to cheat people.
Fortunately, we don't have any real disciples from the Divine Doctor Valley here, otherwise we would have to clear out the sect."
"You don't want your arm anymore, right?" Zhuang Shihan glared at him fiercely, murderous intent clearly in her eyes.
The poison she used was a deadly one that could penetrate his intestines and stomach. If he delayed any further, even the Jade Emperor wouldn't be able to save him.
Not to mention Song Yanxi, who only learned the basics and actually knew nothing.
She wanted to see if the Cheng family members died in her hands today. Would the Cheng family, the imperial concubine, and even the Ning Wang faction capture her and skin her alive?
