“You guys are simply fooling around! You actually found a woman to come over. This is simply an insult!”
Doctor Meng was so angry that his voice cracked. His hands trembled as he glared at Lin Suisui in humiliation. He wished he could go up and chase Lin Suisui out of this room now.
“What’s wrong with women? Did women dig up your ancestral grave?”
Upon hearing Doctor Meng’s words, Lin Suisui, who was engrossed in writing the prescription, suddenly looked up and glared at the agitated Doctor Meng with disdain. “Do you think I’m willing to risk making this trip on such a cold snowy day?
That’s because I gave you a chance, but you were useless!
If you were really that capable instead of just cursing here, would I have needed to make this trip?
Since you claim that your medical skills are brilliant, let me ask you, do you think that the person lying on the bed has lived for too long and want to send him to his death?”
This actually wasn’t the first time Lin Suisui had encountered someone like Doctor Meng.
To be precise, ever since she started practicing medicine, there had been many people around her making sarcastic comments. They said was that she was a woman, so she she wasn’t worthy of being a doctor. She really didn’t understand their mentality!
At first, she was disheartened by these words, but as time passed, she understood what her mentor’s words meant.
Using her strength to slap people in the face was more effective than explanations!
For example, after she told the truth, she rendered Doctor Meng, who had just been high and mighty, speechless and ashamed.
However, it had to be said that Doctor Meng was really persistent in this aspect.
After a short pause, he regained his arrogant attitude and wanted to say something else, but Pei Qian, who was standing at the side, asked Qian He to drag him out.
“Why aren’t you guys leaving yet? Are you guys also dissatisfied like Doctor Meng?” Pei Qian snorted when he saw the few doctors still standing at the door. Those people had no intention of staying and quickly dispersed.
After sending these people away, Lu Ze handed the prescription that Lin Suisui had written to Pei Qian.
Pei Qian handed the prescription to Princess Ning Fu. The rest was for this princess to worry about!
Although Princess Ning Fu was still worried, seeing that Pei Qian trusted Lin Suisui so much, she didn’t dare to say anything else. She took the prescription and went out to arrange for people to prepare the medicine.
The fourth prince definitely couldn’t recover for the time being.
Therefore, when Princess Ning Fu went out, not only did she instruct someone to boil the medicine, but she also arranged a courtyard for Lu Ze and Lin Suisui, who had rushed over overnight.
Although in the eyes of Pei Qian and the others, Duke Huai Yang’s ministry was already in decline, it was still quite wealthy. Therefore, when Lin Suisui and Lu Ze arrived at the Verdant Emerald Pavilion under the guidance of the maidservants, Lin Suisui was still amazed by the exquisite furnishings here.
“You like it?” After everyone left, Lu Ze walked to Lin Suisui’s side and looked at the bonsai in front of her.
“Yes.” Lin Suisui nodded. She didn’t hide her thoughts at all and said, “It’s very beautiful. However, I’m not good at raising flowers and plants.
In the past, I had actually thought of raising some orchids in the courtyard so that I could have a place to pass time when I was idle.
“But you also know that as a doctor, sometimes, I have to leave home and travel with my mentor to treat patients.
This prevents us from being able to take care of the flowers and plants at home. Every time we went out to treat patients, most of the flowers and plants withered by the time we returned home.
Therefore, over time, I stopped raising flowers and plants.”
“Then I’ll help you take care of the flowers and plants next time.” Lu Ze smiled as he helped Lin Suisui into the room. “After traveling all night, you still came over to take the fourth prince’s pulse. You’ve been tired for so long, so you should rest early!”
Lin Suisui nodded and didn’t refuse Lu Ze’s suggestion.
The next morning, when Lin Suisui woke up and tidied up, Lu Ze brought back the latest news about the fourth prince. Although he had suffered a lot last night, his high fever had subsided.
“He has taken the medicine twice already. The doctor took his pulse once when he woke up early in the morning. His condition is much better than it was yesterday.” As Lu Ze pulled Lin Suisui to the room at the side for breakfast, he told Lin Suisui about the fourth prince’s current situation.
“Yes, he’s not afraid of anything else now. He’s just afraid of repetition.” Lin Suisui sat down to have breakfast with Lu Ze. Just as she was telling Lu Ze what the trouble was, Pei Qian came in uninvited and sat down. Then, he instructed the maidservants beside him, “Go and get me a set of bowls and plates!”
“Did you just come from the fourth prince’s side?” Lu Ze glanced at Pei Qian. He really didn’t like how he came uninvited.
“Yes.” Pei Qian nodded and took a sip of the millet porridge the maidservant had scooped for him. Then, he looked up and replied to Lu Ze, “His situation has stabilized for the time being, but it’s still too early for us to rejoice.”
“I’ll go over and take a look later.” Lin Suisui didn’t refute Pei Qian’s words. Instead, she said to him very seriously, “By the way, I told you yesterday to remove one of the charcoal basins from that room. Did you do that?”
“Don’t worry, I personally watched them get it done.” Pei Qian nodded. Then, he thought of something and looked at Lu Ze. “By the way, the news that the fourth prince came to the north, but got into danger and recuperating in Duke Huai Yang’s ministry has already spread!
“Guess who was the first to make a move?”
Lu Ze wasn’t interested in Pei Qian’s words. He picked up a spring roll and handed it to Lin Suisui while gesturing for her to eat more. Then, he said slowly, “County Governor?”
“As expected of Erlang! You guessed correctly!” Pei Qian laughed, as if he had thought of something interesting. Then, he said to Lu Ze mischievously, “At this moment, the others are still pretending not to know anything, but County Governor Tang actually sent someone to look for me and asked if I needed his help!
I asked him, “How can you help?
Guess what he said. He said that he could help take over the defense of the entire Cloud Mountain City and help find out the whereabouts of the bandits who kidnapped the fourth prince!
He even told me that he had stayed in the north for a long time, so he knew all the movements of the surrounding bandits!”
