Chapter 293 Tit for Tat
Doctor Liu smiled thoughtfully and said, "It's been a month or so. Perhaps the decree is on the way."
"I see."
As if he couldn't see how unhappy Zhuang Shihan's face was, Doctor Li nodded and said to himself, "Everyone in the army is looking forward to your marriage. When you get married one day, please don't be stingy with giving us a glass of wedding wine."
Although it was clearly a blessing, Zhuang Shihan couldn't smile at all when she heard it.
She didn't think that this old man could say anything good.
He even congratulated her and cursed her three times a day for a quick death and reincarnation, which was considered a good deed for him.
Seeing that Doctor Li was about to say something, Zhuang Shihan quickly said, "There are patients waiting up ahead. Since I have nothing to do here, I'll go over first."
Doctor Liu raised an eyebrow, "My princess, aren't you curious about what Doctor Song said?"
Zhuang Shihan paused and said without turning her head, "She can say whatever she wants, it has nothing to do with me.
There are so many patients waiting in the front hall. I don’t have enough time to treat them, but I don’t have the time to worry about all the messy people and things.”
When she reached the corner of the corridor, she turned around and coldly reminded them, "We are colleagues after all, so I would like to give you two a piece of advice.
Mind your own business, and you will live longer."
Xi Lin couldn't help but sneer, "She even teaches others."
Unlike his anger, Doctor Liu nodded in agreement and said to Doctor Li beside him, "Old Li, what the princess said is very reasonable. It's really not a good thing to meddle too much in other people's karma."
Doctor Li glanced at Zhuang Shihan and said meaningfully, "Indeed, it's easy to suffer retribution."
The two of them sang in unison, full of sarcasm.
Xi Lin couldn't help but burst out laughing. He casually put his arms around the two elders' shoulders and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear, "Old people are still the wisest."
It's impossible not to admire it.
The two elders looked at each other and didn't intend to pay any attention to him.
But in Zhuang Shihan's eyes, this scene was like adding fuel to the fire.
Well, they are all very good!
Since you are unwilling to listen to her advice, then die with Song Yanxi!
She wanted to see whether, when faced with a life-or-death situation, they would still treat that bitch as their treasure as always.
Watching Zhuang Shihan walk away, Doctor Liu said coldly, "Let go!"
Xi Lin withdrew his hand awkwardly, and said gloomily, "Let me make it clear first, you can drink at her wedding if you like, but I definitely won't be going."
Thinking about Song Yanxi's temperament, he sighed softly, his eyebrows slightly raised, "If that Lin doesn't hand over the divorce agreement, Song Yanxi won't be so happy to let him take her home.
With Zhuang Shihan's temper, won't she be in great pain when the time comes?"
Doctor Liu sneered and said, "These two people can't succeed."
"The Emperor has granted their marriage, and they still dare to disobey?"
"Good question. Where is the imperial decree granting the marriage?"
Xi Lin was stunned, recalling Zhuang Shihan's ugly face when she heard the imperial edict just now, and clasped his hands together with a "snap".
"Wow!"
Doctor Liu rolled his eyes at him, straightened his sleeves, and said, "You're surprised by what you've seen."
Without waiting for Xi Lin to retort, he asked, "In your opinion, how have the years of His Majesty's rule been?"
Xi Lin immediately dropped his playful smile and frowned, saying, "I know that my mouth is indeed unpopular, but it's not so hateful that it makes you want to send me to the guillotine right away, right?"
Doctor Liu raised an eyebrow. "We've only just started, and you're already scared?"
"I'm scared! They're clearly trying to kill me. How can I not be scared?"
Xi Lin looked embarrassed, "Please quickly put away your magical powers. I am just an ordinary person with some medical skills. I am neither as brave as a bear or a leopard, nor as fearless as a cat demon with nine lives.
I only have one head on my shoulders, and I can’t handle your torment.”
Doctor Li was amused by what he heard and said with a look of satisfaction, "It's rare that you get scared. It's good to know how to be afraid. It also prevents you from being fearless and poking a hole in the sky one day.
If you really do something that deserves death, we old guys can't save your life with our abilities. At most, we can ask someone to send you a last meal before the execution."
At the end of his words, he deliberately prolonged the last syllable and said, "After all, it's better to be on the road after you're full."
Xi Lin twitched his lips, wanting to cry but unable to, and said, "You two can put your minds at ease. I cherish my life very much and will definitely protect it well. I will never give you two the chance to send me off."
As he spoke, he thought of something and couldn't wait to ask, "Old Liu just mentioned the emperor, but do you know anything about the inside story?"
Doctor Liu: "I don't know."
"I don't know if what you said makes sense?" Xi Lin suddenly widened his eyes and wanted to curse.
He wanted to say something else, but he heard Doctor Liu say disdainfully, "I call you stupid, but you really don't understand at all.
Where has the wisdom that I used to use to risk my head to remind the prince to be more careful, putting the relationship between the emperor and his subjects first and the relationship between the father and the son second, gone?
Doctor Li also agreed, "I see he's getting worse as he grows older."
Although Xi Lin was delighted by the two elders' disdain, he did not bother to get angry. Instead, he carefully considered every word he had just heard.
The more I think about it, the brighter those peach blossom eyes become.
Doctor Li saw this and couldn't help but smile. He exchanged glances with Doctor Liu and said, "It looks like he's finally getting the hang of it."
Doctor Liu shook his head. "This boy is extremely dull and stupid. He's like a piece of rotten wood that can't be carved."
Xi Lin hurriedly bowed to him and said respectfully, "I hope Mr. Liu can help me solve this problem."
Doctor Li saw this and quickly spoke up, "It's rare for a child to be so sincere in seeking advice. His willingness is enough. As an elder, we shouldn't be stingy!"
That’s what I said…
It doesn't sound like a good thing.
However, he had set many traps for Old Li before, so this could be considered as a tit-for-tat.
Xi Lin thought so in his heart, and suddenly felt much more balanced and not depressed at all.
Seeing his sincere attitude, Doctor Liu no longer pretended to be so arrogant. He snorted coldly and said in a low voice, "How could anyone who can sit on that chair in troubled times be a kind-hearted and stupid person?
Whether they were in love or had an affair without a matchmaker, they should never have used their military achievements to exchange for an imperial decree granting marriage to His Majesty just for the sake of so-called legitimacy.
It's more of a threat than a replacement, and a clear challenge to the emperor's authority."
How could a king of a country tolerate this?
Not to mention that Emperor Xuande has always been a decisive and murderous overlord, rather than a kind-hearted and merciful monarch.
Military Doctor Liu's face was gloomy, and he lowered his voice and said, "If it weren't for the public outcry the day they returned to the capital, and their entry into the palace in full view of the public, I don't think His Majesty would mind the loss of a powerful general."
Whether Lin Tingfeng's death was fake or real was just a matter of words from him.
If he had dared to do this ten years ago, he would never have been able to walk out of the palace alive.
Xi Lin suddenly understood what was going on. He gritted his teeth and said, "This grandson is so lucky!"
As he spoke, annoyance filled his eyes, and he cursed, "He'd better pray that he doesn't fall into my hands one day, otherwise I will make him wish he were dead!"
Doctor Liu glanced at him and asked quietly, "There's a good opportunity right now, do you want it?"
