Chapter 214 I don't like her
Song Yanxi's eyes suddenly became sharp, "What do you want with that child?"
"I..." Doctor Li was stunned by the question. Realizing that she must have misunderstood something, he quickly explained, "I have no ill intentions. I just want to meet the child and ask where he lives and what his daily living and eating habits are."
Afraid that Song Yanxi wouldn't believe him, he continued, "At the beginning of the founding of the country, a group of remnants of the previous dynasty who were unwilling to give up collected instruments used by people who had been infected with the plague from somewhere, and donated them to the people in various towns under the guise of being good people.
However, within just a few days, wailing was heard everywhere and corpses were everywhere.
Afterwards, when we were ordered to burn the bodies, we discovered that there was still a survivor. Apart from being fainted from hunger from not having eaten or drunk anything for many days, there was no sign of any symptoms from the pulse.
Song Yanxi's heart moved, and she hurriedly asked, "Does Mr. Li know what's so unusual about this person?"
Doctor Li shook his head, his eyes full of shame.
He sighed, opened and closed his lips, as if he didn't know how to speak.
Song Yanxi saw this and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
This person is probably no longer alive now.
Xi Lin listened silently from the side and suddenly asked, "If the situation in the city cannot be controlled, will it be handled in the same way as before?"
Doctor Li glanced at him and said nothing.
But from his silence, everyone had already gotten the answer.
Xi Lin paused, then answered himself, "Mo Jinchuan is the emperor's most beloved son. With him here, the emperor will definitely not be so cruel as to give up the border town.
Even if we take a step back, the border town has a geographical advantage due to its natural barrier, and has been keeping the Liang army's cavalry at bay for so many years. If this town falls, the enemy army will surely march straight to the capital with unstoppable force."
Doctor Li pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Yes, His Majesty is a wise ruler. He would never allow this great land to be handed over to others."
Having said that, everyone present knew that once the news of the sudden epidemic in the city reached the capital, Emperor Xuande, as the emperor, would have only one choice.
That would be the same as before, sending heavy troops to besiege the city until no one was left alive, and then burning it down to ashes.
Even though his most beloved Prince Jin lives in this city.
He knows which is more important, his son or the world.
What's more, as an emperor, he has three thousand beauties in his harem, and the thing he has the most is his son.
Furthermore, Song Yanxi had always felt doubtful about the fact that Emperor Xuande loved Mo Jinchuan the most.
Although he is the king of a country, he is also a father. How could he bear to send his son, whom he raised, to the battlefield at such a young age and leave for ten years?
All the princes who were of the same age as him, or even a few years younger than him, were married and had children.
The only exception is His Royal Highness Prince Jin, who nominally does not even have a wife. There are even rumors that he not only injured his leg two years ago, but that is why he has been reluctant to marry.
If he really loved him, how could he not worry about his lifelong affairs, and how could he bear to let him bear such an unknown and suffer such grievances?
The so-called father-son love in the royal family is nothing more than polite words spoken by storytellers. Just listen to it and don't take it seriously.
Doctor Li paced anxiously when he saw that Song Yanxi was slow to express her opinion.
Xi Lin couldn't help but speak up: "Although that kid is a bit wild, he is very smart. Maybe we can really get something useful out of him."
Seeing Song Yanxi frowning as if thinking about something, he suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "Those beggars!"
Doctor Li asked, "What happened to the beggar?"
Xi Lin didn't rush to answer, but asked Song Yanxi directly, "Miss Song has been treating those beggars. Have you found any differences between them?"
Doctor Li was extremely anxious and asked, "How are those beggars different? Tell me, little doctor."
Afraid that Xi Lin would continue to keep him in suspense, he said in a serious tone, "These rooms are full of seriously ill people infected with the epidemic. The sooner we come up with a solution, the more hope they will have of survival.
You and I are both doctors, and we have no time to lose. You should understand these principles."
At the end of his words, Doctor Li was clearly angry.
If he were a few years younger, he would probably grab Xi Lin by the collar and tell him to fart quickly.
People are so anxious that they are almost dying.
Fearing that the old man would get really angry, Song Yanxi explained on Xi Lin's behalf: "According to the beggars' accounts, they could have been infected by the epidemic earlier than other people in the city due to contact with the sick.
But their current situation is obviously much better than here.
Aside from a few elderly people who couldn't get out of bed, the rest of the group could still walk and shout. If it weren't for the obvious symptoms of the disease, they would be no different from normal people."
"Is this really true?" Doctor Li was stunned and muttered, "How could Princess Shihan not tell me about such a bizarre thing?"
"She?" Xi Lin couldn't help but sneer, "How could she possibly tell you her discovery when she only wants to take credit for it and when she gives acupuncture, others would be afraid of stealing her skills?
She didn't just find a place to hide the people, simply because there were too many beggars there, which was beyond her expectation and she had nowhere to put them, so she had to report it.
Otherwise, given her personality, she would have kept the matter to herself and announced it to the public once she found a cure."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Li nodded silently.
Although this young man has a sharp tongue, he speaks the absolute truth.
If not for this, Zhuang Shihan could have just brought it up openly during the free clinic the day before. Why would she have sneaked into that beggars' den without even bringing a single soldier with her?
Don't even mention that it's out of pure kindness. Even if the yellow dog in the general's mansion heard this, he would probably laugh his head off.
Song Yanxi frowned and asked in a low voice, "When did she become your enemy?"
Every word and sentence sounds like it carries a hint of personal grudge.
Xi Lin's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he said jokingly, "Who asked her to bully you? This genius doctor just doesn't like her."
Song Yanxi had long been accustomed to his frivolous appearance, so she didn't even glance at him and went into the house first.
Doctor Li, on the other hand, held out his arm to stop Xi Lin as he was about to catch up. "Little Doctor, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"
"Mr. Li, if you have anything to say, feel free to speak up."
Doctor Li's eyes widened, and he lowered his voice and said, "It's natural for a gentleman to be attracted to a beautiful lady. However, it's immoral to lust after someone else's wife. It's absolutely forbidden."
"Indeed." Xi Lin nodded frantically in agreement.
Doctor Li was bewildered, thinking he was still being stubborn. He said earnestly, "A man walking in the world should remember the ways of a gentleman and always reflect on himself."
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, "Anyone who can have such dirty thoughts is truly a villain and despised by the world."
