Chapter 172 Military Order
"My lady, you are overthinking it. I, Qiu, have never met you before, let alone had any grudges with you. It's not like I have any ulterior motives."
Seeing Qiu Zongping's serious tone, Zhuang Shihan couldn't help but sneer, "Why are you pretending? I was just joking with Madam Qiu. It's really not necessary to send a letter thousands of miles away to complain."
She paused, then raised her voice and said, "You, the Qiu family, are really petty from generation to generation."
Qiu Zongping frowned, "Are you kidding? My mother has always been in poor health and rarely leaves the house. How did you meet her?"
"I..." Zhuang Shihan's eyes flashed. She had never expected that he was completely unaware of the situation.
Then what she said just now was just a case of trying to cover up the truth?
Catching the flash of annoyance in her eyes, Song Yanxi said caringly, "Princess Shihan, don't worry. Aunt Qiu is usually easy to talk to. I think General Qiu must look like his mother. Even if she knew, she wouldn't blame you."
Zhuang Shihan's expression suddenly turned cold, and she lowered her voice and scolded, "Shut up!"
Not missing the guilty look in her eyes, Qiu Zongping's face darkened instantly, and he said coldly, "I hope Princess Yong'an will tell you the truth."
Without waiting for Song Yanxi to speak, Zhuang Shihan couldn't wait to say, "She and I have always been at odds. General Qiu, don't believe a single word she says."
Noticing that the eyes around her were not right, Zhuang Shihan thought to herself that something was wrong and quickly changed the subject, "This is a long story. I don't want to involve others because of our personal grudge. General Qiu, please don't ask."
The words sounded very reasonable, but Qiu Zongping didn't believe a word of it.
He has eyes and can see for himself.
Knowing that Song Yanxi would never let go of such a good opportunity, Zhuang Shihan quickly looked at Mo Jinchuan and asked impatiently, "What do you think of my proposal, Your Highness?"
Feeling the gazes from behind, she bit her lower lip and said, "In the whole of Da'an, except for me, no one else can help the prince stand up again."
There was a sound of gasps from all around, but no one dared to step forward to question it.
Yes, they all think that Zhuang Shihan is too arrogant, but they hope that she really has the capital to be so arrogant.
After all, in the past two years, countless people who claimed to be miracle doctors came into Prince Jin's Mansion with great enthusiasm, and left with sighs.
Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, it is better than no hope at all.
"What do you think, Your Highness?" Zhuang Shihan looked at Mo Jinchuan with a cold expression and couldn't help asking again. She couldn't help feeling a little unsure.
During the whole journey he either stayed in the carriage or covered his legs completely with a thick blanket, so that nothing useful could be seen.
If it's nerve necrosis...
Not to mention her, even if those big names in the medical field came through, they would have no better choice than to stop.
Mo Jinchuan's lips moved, and just as he was about to say no, he heard Song Yanxi's cold voice, "What if you can't heal His Highness Prince Jin's leg in three months?"
Zhuang Shihan sneered, "From what you said, you can cure it?"
Song Yanxi said frankly: "Okay."
Under the excited and skeptical gazes of the crowd, she added: "But three months is not enough."
"That's you, not me."
Thinking of something, Zhuang Shihan looked contemptuous, "Your medical skills are no better than anything else. If you only know how to take shortcuts, you're doomed to fail in the long run."
Song Yanxi nodded, looking like she had learned something.
Seeing that she didn't refute herself, Zhuang Shihan thought to herself that something was wrong.
The next moment, Song Yanxi said, "In terms of medical attainments, I may not be as good as Princess Shihan, but there is one thing that is different from her."
Zhuang Shihan's face darkened slightly, and her tone was impatient. "Since you know you're not as skilled as others, why don't you leave? Are you staying here waiting to embarrass yourself?"
Meeting her anxious eyes, Song Yanxi curled the corners of her lips and said, "I can't even compare to you in your ability to brag."
"Song Yanxi!"
"Why, was I wrong?"
Song Yanxi had a smile on her lips. Although it was a provocation, it made the furious Zhuang Shihan look even more speechless.
If she didn't feel guilty, why didn't she argue for her rights?
Qiu Zongping and others looked at her with suspicion in their eyes.
The young general couldn't help but mutter, "What's there to argue about? Isn't it enough to just issue a military order?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a pair of murderous gazes falling on him.
The young general looked up and met Zhuang Shihan's angry eyes.
He blurted out, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen anyone as handsome as me?"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Lin Tingfeng, who was lying on the ground and no one paid attention to him. He tutted his lips and said, "His vision is really poor. It's far worse than our prince's."
Zhuang Shihan's face turned pale and blue. When she looked up, she met Song Yanxi's eyes with a faint smile. She felt her head heat up and subconsciously said, "Three months is three months. One more day will be my loss."
"What's the point of just talking? If you have the guts, sign a military order!"
Zhuang Shihan glared at the young general who was just trying to watch the fun and said through gritted teeth, "Then I'll issue a military order."
She pointed at Song Yanxi and said, "Three months is the deadline. If I can heal the prince's legs, she has to pack up and leave."
"Why?" Qiu Zongping asked first.
Although secretly, he also hoped that Song Yanxi would retreat when she saw the difficulty and not stay in the border town to influence the prince.
But this does not mean that he cannot distinguish right from wrong.
It was obvious that they were the ones who wronged her first. One of them shamelessly tried to molest her by getting drunk, while the other one deliberately wanted to drive her away.
This is really too much!
Such behavior is despised by people.
If he sits back and does nothing, wouldn't he be complicit in their corruption?
Zhuang Shihan scratched her ears and felt it was outrageous.
She couldn't help but ask, "General Qiu just asked me this, why?"
Seeing Qiu Zongping nod, Zhuang Shihan was so angry that tears came to her eyes.
She asked in a trembling voice: "When Song Yanxi was talking just now, were you deaf or dumb? Why didn't you ask her why?"
Qiu Zongping asked with a dark face, "When did Princess Yong'an say that if you can't cure the prince's leg, you have to pack up and get out of the barracks?"
"That's right, you have a vicious mind and always think that others are not good people." Someone agreed.
Zhuang Shihan felt as if a sword had struck her heart. She pointed at Song Yanxi and said, "You straight men, are you blind to see such a big white lotus sticking out here?"
Hearing this, Qiu Zongping's face darkened even further. "If you continue to speak rudely, don't blame me for sending a letter of divorce to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, asking the Duke to come personally and discipline his daughter properly."
"You dare!"
"You may give it a try, my lady."
"You..." Zhuang Shihan covered her chest and almost fainted.
She bit her lower lip tightly, turned her head and looked at Mo Jinchuan with tears in her eyes. As soon as she said the word "king", he said in a cold voice: "In this case, this king will wait for good news from the princess."
