Chapter 292 Why hasn’t the imperial decree granting marriage come down yet?
"What do you mean by drugging?" Xi Lin decisively took a few steps back, making the slap from Doctor Li fall in vain.
He said with a look of disgust: "Old Li, you've learned bad things from me. Not only do you speak so harshly, but why are you also learning to use violence?"
When Doctor Li heard his unreasonable arguments and even his attempt to turn the tables, he not only wanted to use his hands but also his feet.
This brat is really something. If he is not punished for three days, he will tear down the roof!
Seeing Doctor Li preparing to roll up his sleeves and join in the attack, Xi Lin quickly admitted his fear and said, "Calm down, the two of you. I'm still very useful now."
Doctor Liu gave him a sharp look and said, "Your mouth is useful. When the city runs out of food, you can slice it up and make soup."
Xi Lin took a deep breath and became obedient in an instant.
Doctor Liu looked around, his brows furrowed so tightly that they looked like they could pinch a fly to death. "Where is Princess Shihan?"
With the threat before him, Xi Lin dared not say anything mean. He said seriously, "It's been about two hours since she left. Her medicine boy is helping outside."
"Nonsense!" Doctor Liu's face darkened even further. He lowered his voice and asked, "She wanted to leave, why didn't you stop her? Just let her go like that?"
When this matter was mentioned, Xi Lin was filled with rage. Just as he was about to curse, the tip of his ear twitched.
He smiled coldly and said, "It's true that you can't talk about people behind their backs. Now they are here."
Doctor Liu said, "You arrived just in time."
As he was about to walk out, he was stopped by Doctor Li.
"Brother, please don't be impulsive. If you have anything to say, speak slowly. Don't provoke others again."
"Let go!"
Doctor Liu struggled, but couldn't pull his sleeve out of Doctor Li's hand. He gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't stop her outside, will she go in and wake up the mother and child?"
Before he could finish his words, Doctor Li quickly let him go and even waved his hand, urging him, "Go quickly. I'll stay here and guard the door."
As he spoke, he did not forget to remind Xi Lin, "Be smart later and don't let anyone rashly barge in. Doctor Song just fell asleep."
Zhuang Shihan just walked into the yard and her face changed immediately when she heard this.
She crossed her arms, looked disdainful, and asked coldly, "What do you mean? If you don't welcome me, just tell me and I'll leave. There's no point in staying here and causing trouble for no reason."
Xi Lin rolled his eyes wildly, but Doctor Liu didn't give him a chance to speak. He asked coldly, "Why are you running around instead of staying here to watch over the patient?"
These are two lives, how can you be so careless?"
Hearing this, Zhuang Shihan just found it funny, "You old man, what you said is too unreasonable. I rescued this mother and child purely out of kindness, and I was happy to do it.
You can't ask me to do nothing but stay by their side, like I've signed a contract to sell myself, right?"
Thinking of what he had just said, she couldn't help but sneer. "Besides, not only is Divine Doctor Xi here, but we also have Princess Yong'an, who is dedicated to saving the dying and healing the wounded. Missing an insignificant person like me wouldn't be a big deal."
The two military doctors were both experienced people, and they knew as soon as they heard her that she was angry with Lin Tingfeng and was taking it out on them.
Can you tolerate Doctor Liu’s violent temper?
He changed the subject and asked, "Did the princess meet General Lin just now?"
Zhuang Shihan was already furious. Just hearing the word "Lin" made her unable to suppress her anger. She said bluntly, "Do I need to report to you whether I met him or not, or who I met with?"
She rolled her eyes and said in a voice that everyone could hear: "You are meddling in other people's business. Who do you think you are?"
"You!" Xi Lin became furious when he heard this and wanted to argue with her immediately.
Doctor Liu stopped him, looked at Zhuang Shihan and said with a smile, "My princess, you misunderstood. I just have something to convey to General Lin on behalf of Doctor Song.
Since you haven’t seen it, forget it.”
Zhuang Shihan frowned and blurted out, "What?"
Realizing she was being too concerned, she coughed lightly and said, "I'm going back to the General's Mansion to see General Xu later. I can just pass on the message to General Lin. You said the same thing to me."
Hearing her call him General Lin, Doctor Liu raised his eyebrows and refused decisively.
He said righteously, "I have been entrusted with a duty of loyalty. Since I promised to convey General Darling's message, I naturally have to speak to him in person."
Zhuang Shihan's expression turned even uglier. "I remember Mr. Liu wasn't someone who liked to meddle in other people's business."
Doctor Liu smiled slightly and said nothing, but it was even more infuriating than if he had said anything.
This old guy is really blinded by greed and has lost his sight.
What is so good about Song Yanxi that she deserves all of their protection?
Speaking of medical skills, if she hadn't insisted on performing surgery today, both mother and daughter would have been buried in peace by now!
Even if Song Yanxi rushed back, what would be the use? Wouldn’t she still have to rely on her to turn the tide?
The more Zhuang Shihan thought about it, the angrier she became. She wanted to just turn around and leave, not caring about the life and death of the mother and son and making them anxious, but she couldn't suppress her curiosity.
This damn Song Yanxi.
She clearly did it on purpose!
Cuiming Mountain was nearly eighty miles away from here. They had walked with the wounded for almost a day and a night. They had so much to talk about in such a long time, and yet they had to let this old man pass the message in between.
She was afraid that everyone would forget that she and Lin Tingfeng were the married couple who had a clear path ahead of them, right?
This bitch!
Zhuang Shihan gritted her teeth in hatred and said with a gloomy face, "What is my relationship with Lin Tingfeng? You two must know it better than anyone else. Why pretend to be confused when you know the truth?"
Doctor Li, standing by, said quietly, "Didn't you say that before? You and General Lin are just a superior-subordinate relationship, like a general and a doctor. Anyone who dares to spread rumors will have their tongue ripped out."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shihan's expression became even uglier, and if you looked closely, you could see a hint of guilt in her eyes.
What Doctor Li was talking about was something that happened not long after Doctor Chang "died of illness".
She knew Chang Yongnian's prestige in the army, and her one-sided statement was not enough to convince the entire army that a good-natured man would end up angering himself to death just because he wanted to teach her a lesson.
So she used a little trick to make everyone wonder whether there was anything innocent between her and Lin Tingfeng.
A single man and a single woman, burning with passion, no one believed that there was nothing going on between them.
But no one took the initiative to break the window paper, and everyone was afraid of the two of them. On weekdays, they only dared to think about it in their hearts and did not dare to say anything rashly.
After the first one, there will be the second, the tenth, the one hundred and thousandth.
When Zhuang Shihan realized that everyone would whisper or exchange glances when they saw the two of them after dinner, or even on the training ground, she had no choice but to come forward to explain.
Because once the news gets to the capital, she will be held accountable for disguising herself as a man and breaking into the military camp. Even if she refuses to pack up and leave, the old man will definitely come all the way to capture her.
I didn't expect that what I said back then would actually dig a hole for myself now.
Without waiting for Zhuang Shihan to speak, Doctor Li feigned surprise and looked at Doctor Liu beside him and asked, "Old Liu, I remember someone in the capital saying that the Emperor had granted a marriage for General Lin and Princess Shihan. Why hasn't the imperial decree come down yet?"
