Chapter 220: Notorious for Protecting His Shortcomings
Seeing Zhuang Shihan hurried into the wing room, Xi Lin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why don't you stop her?"
They had finally managed to pull the two back from the brink of death, and now one foot was still hanging in the jaws of death. What if she got killed again?
Doctor Li habitually touched his beard, but found nothing. He said awkwardly, "Not really."
Xi Lin sneered and asked, "Do you believe she has a conscience?"
Doctor Li said without hesitation, "Then she definitely doesn't have it."
Having been in the border town together for two years, he saw everything and knew Princess Shihan's character too well. She always said one thing in front of others and another behind their backs, and would not do anything other than save face!
If it weren't for His Royal Highness Prince Jin's sympathy for these old guys, he would have specially petitioned the emperor to allow them to return to the capital with the victorious army.
Given the personalities of these two people, they will definitely not let them return to Beijing even though they know too much. If they don’t return this year, at this age, they don’t know if they will have the chance to reunite with their relatives in the future.
Xi Lin was eager to make a move, "How about..."
Song Yanxi looked at him probingly and said calmly, "She won't."
Xi Lin raised an eyebrow, "Are you so sure?"
Song Yanxi handed the newly revised prescription to Doctor Li and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Li?"
Doctor Li couldn't help but snort coldly, "She's used to using a borrowed knife to kill someone, and she wouldn't be willing to dirty her own hands."
Finally, he added, "They are birds of a feather. No wonder they are attracted to each other."
Realizing that what he said was inappropriate, Doctor Li coughed lightly and lowered his voice, "I am several dozen years older than the princess, so today I will take advantage of my seniority and say something I shouldn't.
General Lin is definitely not the ideal man for the princess, and he will soon marry Princess Shihan as his second wife. With the two of them around, the princess will have a hard time in the harem for the next few decades."
Song Yanxi nodded and said, "I understand Mr. Li's intentions."
"I wish you really understood."
Doctor Li sighed softly, and when he saw something happening over there, his gentle eyes turned cold for a moment.
Zhuang Shihan came out of the room with a complicated look in her eyes, and kept muttering "Impossible".
Noticing the three people sitting in the yard, her eyes suddenly became sharp and she almost trotted towards them.
She was about to snatch the prescription from Doctor Li's hand, but he dodged it with a slight raise of his hand.
The reaction and speed clearly showed that he was prepared in advance.
"What do you mean, Mr. Li?" Zhuang Shihan suppressed her anger and asked coldly.
Doctor Li did not answer but asked, "I was just about to ask Princess Shihan, what's the meaning of rushing up and grabbing things without saying a word?"
"Robbery?" Zhuang Shihan chuckled. "Mr. Li, your words are rather harsh. I just wanted to know what medicine you gave the patient without permission. I'm worried about any adverse reactions. How can that be considered robbery?"
Her gaze immediately fell on Song Yanxi's face, and she couldn't help but lower her voice, "Mr. Li, please don't follow the example of some people who are not good at medicine and don't know how to reflect on themselves, but instead think about slandering and defaming others all day long."
Xi Linmei's heart skipped a beat and she asked, "Are you talking about yourself?"
"You!" Zhuang Shihan was extremely angry and was about to tell him to shut up, but she suddenly remembered what the people had reminded her during the consultation just now.
Although this Xi guy has a bit of a bad mouth, he is indeed quite accomplished in medical skills and has a good reputation among the people. Perhaps he can be of help to her.
Isn’t the Xi family famous for protecting their own people?
If she could become good friends with their young master, they would definitely not refuse her if they needed her in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Shihan swallowed back her curse words and said calmly, "Doctor Xi may have some misunderstandings about me."
"Misunderstanding?" Xi Lin rubbed his aching waist, with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Before he could say anything, Zhuang Shihan suddenly asked, "Doctor Xi, are you willing to stay here and help?"
She explained, "I was so angry just now that I lost my mind and lost touch with public and private matters. I caused Doctor Xi to be injured because of me. I am truly sorry."
"Are you apologizing to me?" Xi Lin was a little surprised.
Not only him, Song Yanxi and Doctor Li also did not expect things to develop in this way.
The speed at which they changed their attitude was so fast that people had no time to react.
Zhuang Shihan lowered her eyes, bit her lower lip and said, "Yes."
Xi Lin laughed out loud instantly, propping up his chin with one hand as he looked at her, and asked with great interest, "Why, have you found out everything?"
He said, "Compared to now, I still prefer the unruly look you had just now."
Catching a glimpse of Zhuang Shihan's angry look, Song Yanxi silently moved to the side.
Xi Lin's mouth is so infuriating that he will kill people. Sooner or later, he will be beaten to death.
Zhuang Shihan wasn't one to shy away. Seeing that he had made his point so clear, she simply said, "Before, I didn't know your identity and underestimated you."
She paused, then changed the subject and said, "But since you have such amazing medical skills, why didn't you tell everyone earlier? Instead, you concealed your identity and followed a beginner as an assistant.
As a doctor, don't you know how serious the epidemic is?
If you delay for a quarter of an hour, two more people might die. How can you bear it?"
Her voice was angry and sad, and her words were so sincere and heartfelt that she almost moved herself.
On the other hand, the three of them had colder eyes than each other.
If there was an outsider present at this moment, he would definitely be moved by Zhuang Shihan's heartfelt words, and then turn around and accuse Song Yanxi and others of being cold-blooded.
Before she opened her mouth to accuse him, Song Yanxi asked calmly, "Is the princess finished speaking?"
It was getting late and she had to go back to see her patients.
Although she still hasn't figured out why those beggars who have little food and clothing and even have to sleep in dilapidated temples on the streets are in better health than those rich people, she probably figured out one thing.
The reason why Zhuang Shihan hid it from everyone and spent so much effort on those beggars was because she saw this point.
Those who have fallen to the point of begging are mostly lonely people without relatives or friends, or those who have fled from disasters in their families like Old Man Liu and his grandson, and the two brothers from Lijia Village.
In either case, they are now homeless and have no relatives to rely on.
Even if one day they suddenly died on the street in an accident, they would just be thrown into a mass grave by the patrolling soldiers, and no one would come forward to investigate the cause of their death.
This kind of person is undoubtedly the best candidate for drug testing.
Even if someone died accidentally, she could use the epidemic as an excuse and no one would blame her.
If she can't be cured, it can be said to be fate. If she can be cured, she will be like a god on earth and loved by all people.
What a good calculation!
Being stared at by Song Yanxi made her back tremble with fear. Zhuang Shihan calmed herself down and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. I don't intend to snatch her away from you. I just want to borrow her for use.
With Doctor Xi's medical skills, if he is willing to help me wholeheartedly, I think he will find a solution in no time."
What does it mean if he is willing to do his best?
The more Xi Lin tasted it, the more he felt the taste was not right.
She clearly has something else to say!
