Chapter 451 Irredeemable Calamity
Si Sha carried the jar back to the palace and placed it in Qin Jinzhi's courtyard.
Qin Jinzhi looked at Si Sha with some confusion.
Upon opening the lid of the jar, they saw, "The person inside, the insects, are dead."
When Qin Jinzhi arrived at the jar, she could no longer tell whether it contained rotten flesh or a skeleton.
"Someone, go and invite Master Lingguan here."
Xu Ping, leaning on his cane, arrived at Qin Jinzhi's courtyard.
Qin Jinzhi gestured towards the jar, "The person you're looking for is a step too late."
Xu Ping arrived at Tanzikou and saw Xie Shanhe's pitiful state.
He took out a five-inch-long silver needle from his sleeve.
The silver needles were inserted all the way down to the top of his head.
The rotting corpse was actually breathing faintly.
Xu Ping placed a pill into Xie Shanhe's mouth.
The eyelid, missing a piece of flesh, suddenly opened.
Xu Ping looked at Xie Shanhe with a calm gaze, "Xie Shanhe, do you still recognize me?"
This is a method of breathing like a tortoise, which can give a person who is about to die a brief moment of lucidity before death.
Xie Shanhe looked at Xu Ping's crippled legs.
He roared in defiance, “You actually succeeded! How could you succeed! I’ve spent my whole life chasing after you, suffering endlessly, and why! Just because you have a good inheritance! If I were a member of the Xu family, I would be a thousand times, ten thousand times better than you! I’m not convinced! I’m not convinced!”
Xu Ping looked at Xie Shanhe, who had fallen into madness, and said calmly, "Xie Shanhe, your life is coming to an end. Is all you have left for the world to say? Don't you have anything else to say?"
Xie Shanhe looked at Xu Ping, who always seemed calm and collected, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Xu Ping, you've already become a crippled person, yet you still think about defying fate for others? Hahahahahahahaha."
Xu Ping sat down opposite Xie Shanhe. "If you can help me, I will help you take revenge and kill the person who tortured you to this extent."
Xie Shanhe looked at Xu Ping with a mocking expression. "Even if you give your life, you can't change this. Let me guess who this person is."
"Could it be the only child of the Prince of Zhenbei, who died because of you? Hahahaha, Xu Ping, you're ridiculous."
Xu Ping looked at Xie Shanhe and sighed.
"I will send your ashes back to your hometown, Xie Shanhe, hoping that you will not be troubled by obsessions in your next life."
With that, she turned to leave.
"etc!"
Xie Shanhe stared intently at Xu Ping, "Tell me, why didn't you die after you helped someone change their fate! Tell me! And I'll help you!"
Xu Ping turned to look at Xie Shanhe, "I saved a child in the flash flood. His arms and legs were broken by the boulders that were swept down by the flood."
Upon hearing this, Xie Shanhe murmured in disbelief, "Shan Hong, Shan Hong, you lost your hands and feet for a complete stranger."
He looked at Xu Ping with a sorrowful expression, then looked up to the sky and let out a long howl.
"Defying fate will lead to utter ruin. Xu Ping, that child's life is too precious; yours is not enough."
After saying this, Xie Shanhe's eyes were lifeless.
Xu Ping lunged at the jar, crying, "If my life isn't enough, whose is?! Xie Shanhe! Xie Shanhe! You can't die! Tell me now!"
She threw the cane aside and kept shaking the corpse.
She collapsed to the ground in defeat.
"Whose life is enough!"
Qin Jinzhi went over and helped Xu Ping up after he fell.
"Master Lingguan, you have fallen into a state of mental obscuration."
Xu Ping's thoughts were pulled back by Qin Jinzhi's voice.
Her life seemed to have vanished along with Xie Shanhe's words. She looked at Qin Jinzhi and said, "My life can't save you."
Qin Jinzhi asked her to sit on a stool.
“You didn’t kill my father, and I don’t need you to exchange your life for mine. I’ve said it before, man can conquer nature. I will fight against fate for my life. Didn’t he say that my life is too precious, so it’s not surprising that I have to pay a high price?”
Xu Ping looked at Qin Jinzhi and said, "If you die, who will fulfill your lofty ambitions?"
Qin Jinzhi sat down next to Xu Ping and poured her a cup of tea, her face still showing a bit of smugness. "I, Qin Jinzhi, am indeed unparalleled in the world, and it is only right that the world remembers me."
But what does one care about what happens after death? The rotten soil has been cleared away, and fertile earth has sprouted new shoots. People, if you carry too many worries, you'll exhaust yourself.
Xu Ping was immersed in grief when he heard Qin Jinzhi's words and turned around.
Who has more on their mind?
Qin Jinzhi stood up. "Master Lingguan, there are still many things waiting for you to do in this world. Don't always think about exchanging your life for someone else's."
Xu Ping was escorted back to the courtyard.
The entire palace was bustling with activity.
The servants and maids were packing Qin Jinzhi and Qin Ye's luggage.
As night deepened, Liu Yiyi also returned to the Prince's Mansion.
Qin Jinzhi was still a little puzzled, "Weren't you on duty today? Why are you back?"
Liu Yiyi put down her medical kit. "Of course I'm coming back to pack my luggage. The winters at the border are too cold. I need to bring more warm clothes."
Then she looked at Qin Jinzhi with a grin, "I ordered two large fur coats from Rongxiu Shop, remember to pay for them."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "You want to come with me to the border?"
Liu Yiyi imposingly placed one foot on the stool, rested her elbow on her thigh, and pointed her thumb at herself.
"I am Liu Yiyi, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy!"
Ah, although he's a deputy, he's still very prestigious!
If I don't go, who will lead the medical staff of this million-strong army!
Just imagine, if the soldiers knew that I, Liu Yiyi, would personally lead the charge, wouldn't their courage to fight the enemy increase significantly!
This position is mine alone!
Qin Jinzhi laughed out loud when she saw Liu Yiyi's expression.
"Haven't you always wanted to be the world's number one doctor? Now that you're famous, if you join the army, you'll quickly fade into obscurity."
Liu Yiyi waved her hand generously, "How could I, Liu Yiyi, be a person who covets fame and fortune? My soul is elegant, sacred, and inviolable. You are narrow-minded. I criticize you."
With her hands behind her back, Qin Jinzhi asked again, "But if I lose the battle, you will become a prisoner, and prisoners always suffer a terrible fate."
Liu Yiyi blinked. "Let's make this clear first, I'm not afraid of death. If you show signs of defeat, I'll run away immediately. I need to preserve the strength of our army so I can find reinforcements to save you."
Qin Jinzhi was overjoyed. She looked into Liu Yiyi's eyes and asked, "You really have to go?"
Liu Yiyi straightened up, adjusted her official hat, and held her head high like a proud peacock.
"We absolutely must go."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "Alright, I was thinking of buying you a three-courtyard house before leaving the capital. But since you're leaving with me, there's no need to buy that house anymore."
Liu Yiyi immediately grabbed Qin Jinzhi's arm and said with a fawning expression, "A house is still very necessary. Think about it, when we return victorious, if I don't even have a house, it will damage my reputation as the Vice President of the Imperial Medical Academy. Everyone knows I'm your person, which will also damage your reputation. I'm only thinking of you!"
