Chapter 224 Fighting for Dad

Zhou Chang used his fingers to break the thin layer of ice in the bowl.

Leaning forward, his eyes curved, he said, "This bowl of water was obviously used and drunk by the patient. If Dean Qin takes a sip..."

"No..." Before Zhou Chang could finish his words, Qin Shou howled like a pig being slaughtered.

"Keep your voice down," Zhou Chang frowned. Prince Yi Fengming's consciousness was as hard as iron. He pinched Qin Shou's mouth with one hand and poured water from the bowl with the other.

"Ah... Help, help..." Qin Shou's mouth was clamped tightly by Zhou Chang's hand, and it was too late to call for help.

Zhou Chang might not know what to do, but once Prince Yi made a move, he would not hesitate and would stuff the entire bowl into Qin Shou's mouth.

"Crack, crack..." The sound of the porcelain bowl hitting the teeth can be heard clearly.

"Gulp, gulp..." The ice water was forced down his stomach.

Only after Qin Shou drank the entire bowl of ice water did Prince Yi release his hand.

Zhou Chang felt as if he had succeeded, but he also felt that he was being instigated by Prince Yi. He could no longer distinguish the situation, so he took two steps back and just watched coldly.

"Cough, cough..., cough, cough..." Qin Shou was poured with ice water and then thrown to the ground by Gao Yuan and Shou Hou. He was coughing violently and retching.

After a long while, he almost coughed out all his lung lobes, but he didn't vomit out much water.

"There's no need for Dean Qin to hesitate now." Zhou Chang waited until Qin Shou's breathing calmed down, and suddenly changed his tone to be very friendly, "You can take the water that the patients in the epidemic area just drank and visit more high-ranking officials living in South City and East City. As for the prescription..., I'm not in a hurry, not in a hurry."

Qin Shou had been gasping for breath for a long time and was so frightened that he couldn't stand up. Hearing Zhou Chang's tone change again, he really couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

"Alas... Dean Qin," Zhou Chang's hostility disappeared, his eyebrows curved, and he smiled, pretending to help Qin Shou, "Since Dean Qin is already confident in the prescription for this epidemic, then drinking a bowl of water is nothing, right?"

Qin Shou had already been frightened out of his wits, and had no idea what Prince Yi was planning. He instinctively shrank back and refused Zhou Chang's help.

Zhou Chang did not force it, he blinked his eyes and looked innocent: "I am sincere, Dean Qin, please do not let me down. Don't think that I am harming you. Dean Qin hesitated about my proposal before, I am afraid he was worried about being exposed. I just thought about it and it was indeed my inconsiderateness, so I came up with such a perfect idea, Dean Qin, please don't be ungrateful."

Qin Shou had been in the officialdom for a long time, so he couldn't be fooled by such a few words. He caught a glimpse of his official hat that had fallen to the ground, and regained some of his human appearance: "Your Highness Prince Yi, you can tell me what you want. As for the prescription, I have already told you that if Your Highness wants it, I will give it to you today, or tomorrow at the latest."

"I just said, there's no rush." ​​Zhou Chang also knew that after the previous impulse, it would be difficult to win Qin Shou's trust, but she had made preparations for both situations. "But your son will be a guest in my palace. When Dean Qin can come up with an effective prescription, I will take your son back."

"Your Highness Prince Yi..." Qin Shou exclaimed and looked up suddenly, looking at Zhou Chang in disbelief, "Could it be that this is a kidnapping threat in broad daylight?"

"Why do you have to make it so serious, Dean Qin? I just want to ask your son to stay in my palace for two more days." Zhou Chang smiled, "However, Dean Qin knows my difficulties. Prince Yi's palace is really poor. A few years ago, I dismissed most of the palace soldiers because there were too many mouths to feed. This means one more person and one more mouth to feed. If I really can't afford it, your son might starve. I hope you don't mind, Dean Qin."

Qin Shou was stunned. After a while, he suddenly got up from the ground and rushed out: "I want to see your majesty, I want to see your majesty."

Before he could take the second step, Gao Yuan grabbed him from behind.

Zhou Chang didn't move at all. He snorted coldly, "Master Qin, if you want to leave now, you can leave. But I want to remind you that it's best to be clear about what to say and what to do."

"My Qin family has been imperial physicians for three generations, so we are not without foundation in the court... Even if you are a prince, you are going too far," Qin Shou had been able to endure it just now, but he could no longer control his emotions when he mentioned his only proud son.

Zhou Chang had already stepped aside to make way, his cold eyes like the winter wind blowing on Qin Shou's face: "But Dean Qin, think clearly, the son of a third-rank official in the court, a prince, even if your son died of illness, fell to death, accidentally fell into a well, choked to death after eating something bad..., hehe, so what? What can your majesty do to me?"

When it comes to competing for fathers, how can Qin Shou compare to Prince Yi.

Qin Shou's angry eyes suddenly cooled down, and his tadpole eyes drooped: "I understand, I will definitely do what Your Highness Prince Yi wishes. I hope Your Highness will not embarrass me for the sake of my innocence."

"I'm glad you understand." Zhou Chang was just "relying on his father". If he doesn't use it now, when will he use it?

As he spoke, he glanced at the official hat that fell at Qin Shou's feet, and added: "Everything depends on the decision of Dean Qin. What I say still counts. It depends on whether Dean Qin cooperates."

"Yes..." Qin Shou lowered his head, his expression couldn't be seen clearly, but this word seemed to have taken up all his strength.

Zhou Chang signaled to the skinny monkey with his eyes.

The thin monkey understood, stepped forward to pick up the official hat, knocked it against the wooden wall twice, and then handed it to Qin Shou: "Master Qin, the official hat is important."

Gao Yuan lifted Qin Shou from behind to help him stand up.

Qin Shou's legs were shaking, not sure if it was because of anger or cold. He slowly raised his hand, snatched the official hat from the skinny monkey, and quickly left the wooden house.

"It's not right, it's not right. Your Highness was too impulsive just now." As soon as the person left, Zhong Yu shook his head behind him.

Zhou Chang let out a long breath, and Prince Yi's consciousness faded away, and suddenly it seemed to take away all the weakness in his body: "Sir, you are right, I was impulsive just now, but Qin Shou has already entered the game and there is no way he can escape."

"Alas..." Zhong Yu shook his head again, but said no more. His eyes fell on the patient curled up in the corner of the room.

Zhou Chang took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the skinny monkey: "Give it to this guy. After all, he just used one of his bowls."

After saying this, he did not stop and quickly walked out of the wooden house.

Zhong Yu and Gao Yuan followed, while Shou Hou took out a dozen copper coins from his sleeves, squatted down and placed them beside the man, and reminded him: "Nothing happened just now, you didn't see anything, you know? As for this disease, as long as you hold on for another two days, our prince will definitely send you some medicine, just hold on."

The man moved his body but did not make a sound. His dishevelled face was still buried in a torn quilt.

The skinny monkey waited for a while, and seeing that there was no response, he got up and left.
