Looking at the bowl of dark medicine, Doctor Yang dared not drink it. "No, I won't drink it. You must have poisoned it."
"It's alright, you can brew the medicine yourself later." Ling Jingyu waved his hand.
The guards then detained Doctor Yang and forced him to drink medicine.
Dr. Yang was so frightened after being forced to drink several mouthfuls that tears streamed down his face.
"Your Highness, please spare me! I only learned two days ago that this medicine only temporarily suppresses the epidemic. Once the symptoms subside, the infection will recur and then break out again."
"Why didn't you say so sooner!" Ling Yongnian gritted his teeth in anger. "You're playing with the lives of ordinary people."
Zhezi has probably arrived in Ning'an City by now, which has really put him in a terrible situation.
Doctor Yang cried and said, "I was forced by the plague to write the prescription in a hurry, but who knew that something would go wrong."
As he spoke, he knelt down before Ling Jingyu, crying and pleading, "Your Highness, I know I was wrong. Please save them quickly, only you can save them now."
Ling Jingyu looked at Mo Yunzhao and their eyes met.
He flicked his sleeve and said, "My medical skills are inferior to those of Physician Yang. I cannot save you. You should seek another physician."
Doctor Yang kowtowed: "Your Highness, these are all common people, living, breathing human beings. Please save them! You cannot stand by and watch them die."
"I just enjoy watching people die without offering help," Ling Jingyu said indifferently. "They said they'd rather die than beg me for anything. Ah Zhao and I are just here to steal credit, so..."
He looked up at Ling Yongnian and said, "They are dead, so you, Third Brother, will have to take responsibility. This is very good for me."
Ling Yongnian's expression changed. What was he going to do with the promise he had made to take responsibility?
No, absolutely not.
He can still be salvaged, definitely.
“Your Highness, you are a divine physician, a healer with a benevolent heart, dedicated to saving lives and healing the wounded. They are also subjects of Lord Mo, and you cannot stand by and watch them die.”
With that, Ling Yongnian lifted his robe and knelt down heavily.
"If you want me to be demoted to a commoner, I implore Your Highness to demote me and kill me now. As long as you are willing to save them, I am willing to accept any punishment."
Even if the crown prince refuses to save him, he will eventually win the hearts of the people.
"I am not only the Crown Prince, but also the most fearsome figure in the martial arts world."
Ling Jingyu glanced at him indifferently, "Back then, when Third Brother tried to stop us and the villagers resisted, you made a promise to save them at all costs and not let a single person die. Now, saving them depends on Doctor Yang and your silver tongue."
"Ah Zhao, let's go."
Ling Yongnian collapsed to the ground, while the villagers, still in pain, were also in despair.
The Ghost's Sorrow is something everyone is very familiar with.
His medical skills were superb; he even fought against the King of Hell to save lives.
However, he was eccentric and withdrawn, lacking any sense of compassion or desire to save lives.
He saves people based solely on his mood; even the rich and powerful cannot persuade him to come forward and save lives. He is truly a miraculous doctor who inspires both respect and hatred.
But they forgot that His Highness the Crown Prince is the legendary healer who even ghosts fear.
"If there's anything wrong, go to the Third Prince. If it's poisoned, drink Doctor Yang's medicine. They were the ones who stopped His Highness from saving people just now."
After Mo Yunzhao finished speaking, he left with Ling Jingyu.
The villagers tried to surround them, but Fu Liu, with Da Bai by her side, stepped forward and forcefully blocked their way.
"When the city lord and His Highness tried to persuade you, you wouldn't listen and insisted on taking the medicine. This morning you even said you'd rather die than beg His Highness's hand. And now..."
She really wanted to spit and say, "Serves you right."
The villagers realized what was happening and immediately turned their anger on Ling Yongnian.
