The crown prince awkwardly looked away.
"Well... you said it would be cured in three months, but you couldn't guarantee it, could you?"
Song Xibai's expression froze, and the inexplicable expectation that had risen in her heart vanished in an instant.
"What do you mean?"
Song Xibai narrowed her eyes.
"Doubt my medical skills?"
For Song Xibai, she could say whatever she wanted about her, but the one thing she couldn't tolerate was anyone who dared to doubt her medical skills.
She straightened up and spoke angrily.
"Since Your Highness doesn't trust me, why bother looking for me at all?"
The doctor-patient relationship has been ruined because of people like you!
"Please leave, Your Highness. You are not welcome here."
The crown prince looked at her incredulously: "You're trying to drive me away?"
Song Xibai gave a cold laugh, reached out and pulled him up, then pushed him toward the door.
"Your Highness can come back when you admit your mistake!"
After saying that, Song Xibai opened the door with one hand, pushed the Crown Prince out with the other, and then slammed the door shut.
The entire courtyard was completely silent.
Eunuch Feng and the others stood not far from the corridor, their faces ashen.
The palace maids, including Fuliu, didn't understand what had happened, but they all saw the Crown Prince's ugly expression and hurriedly knelt down in fright.
The crown prince's face darkened.
He had never encountered anything like this before in his entire life.
How dare they lock him out?
"This is outrageous! Insolence!"
The crown prince muttered two angry curses at the door.
Eunuch Feng stepped forward with small, quick steps: "Your Highness?"
The prince angrily flicked his sleeve.
"Go to the study in the front hall!"
Eunuch Feng hurriedly gestured to the others, and the palace servants and eunuchs quickly lowered their heads and stood on both sides.
The crown prince strode away from the east side hall.
The palace maids breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then became anxious again.
Will the Crown Prince's departure anger the Empress Dowager?
Will His Majesty fall out of favor?
The palace maids dared not utter a sound, and could only communicate with their eyes.
Even Fuliu and Juqing looked worriedly at the doorway.
Wei Hong, on the other hand, remained calm and as usual. She stood up, picked up the small teapot, and went straight inside.
"My lord, what tea would you like to drink today?"
Inside the room, Song Xibai sat by the window, her face still flushed with a hint of anger.
"What's there to drink? I'm already full of anger!"
Seeing her like this, Wei Hong realized she was indeed angry. After thinking for a moment, she put down the teapot and ran out to call Dingxiang over.
Fortunately, Miss Lilac hasn't left the palace to go home yet today...
Wei Hong didn't show it on her face, but she was still worried inside.
As soon as Dingxiang arrived, she casually picked up the teapot and poured Song Xibai a cup of tea.
"Honeysuckle, it helps to reduce internal heat."
Song Xibai rolled her eyes at her.
Dingxiang rested her chin on her hand and looked at her: "Young couple, isn't it normal to quarrel? What's making you so angry? Tell me, is it because the Crown Prince wants to favor the new concubine, and you're unhappy about it?"
Song Xibai was speechless for a moment.
What does this have to do with anything?
"You know perfectly well that my relationship with the Crown Prince isn't that kind of thing!"
"Not that kind? Then what kind is it?" Dingxiang raised an eyebrow, giggling as she pushed the teacup closer. "The Crown Prince is so wonderful! The heir apparent, good-looking, with a good personality, and generous. Where can you find such a good man?"
Song Xibai subconsciously took the teacup and took a sip.
The slightly bitter tea stimulated the back of her tongue, causing her to furrow her brow.
"How much did you put in?"
"I didn't know your taste, so I just grabbed a handful." Dingxiang pulled Wei Hong aside and asked her to brew another pot of tea.
After Wei Hong left, Ding Xiang continued talking.
"Look at the life you're living now, so many people would envy it! Why get angry over such a small thing?"
Song Xibai flicked his sleeves.
"He doubted my medical skills! Who could tolerate that? If you were in his shoes, wouldn't you be angry?"
Dingxiang opened her eyes slightly.
"Such a thing really happens? No way?"
"Why not?"
Song Xibai pulled Dingxiang along and recounted what had just happened.
Dingxiang's expression became very strange.
"Is this how you interpret what the Crown Prince said?"
This clearly shows they don't want Song Xibai to leave the palace and want her to stay by their side!
Dingxiang felt a headache coming on.
What am I going to do if he keeps getting it so slowly!
"Xixi, can't you sense that the Crown Prince has feelings for you?"
Song Xibai was visibly taken aback.
She had indeed guessed that way... but considering the Crown Prince's status and attitude, she felt it was impossible.
You're overthinking it.
Song Xibai's reply was so resolute that Dingxiang was speechless for a long time.
"Why do you think it isn't true? The Crown Prince is a man too!"
Song Xibai pursed her lips, unsure how to tell Dingxiang.
Should I tell her that I read many novels and watched many TV dramas in my past life, and that the feudal male protagonists in those dramas all used the name of love to ensnare the female protagonists?
In her previous life, Song Xibai had also had boyfriends. In the end, one was attracted to her family background, while the other was flirting with a junior while dating her.
This led Song Xibai to become very disappointed in love.
In addition, as she studied medicine, she became increasingly convinced that there is no such thing as love in this world, and that it is nothing more than the work of adrenaline, hormones and dopamine.
Song Xibai's silence made Dingxiang very anxious.
But soon, Dingxiang came up with a solution.
If we can't get through to one side, let's try to get through to the other side!
Persuade the crown prince to go.
