Chapter 223 Helping each other
"Afraid? How can I not be afraid? Your Highness Prince Yi, you don't know how serious this plague is..." Qin Shou was already howling like a pig being slaughtered, "Leave here first, leave here..."
"How could I not know?" Zhou Chang said as he walked over and tore off the two layers of cloth covering Qin Shou's face.
Qin Shou's struggle was ineffective as Zhou Chang tore off the towel. He coughed violently in shock, but quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hands.
Zhou Chang's pair of curved phoenix eyes turned into two ice cones, and he threw the cloth back to Qin Shou's face: "Very good, very good, Qin Shou, beast, you really live up to your name."
Qin Shou was coughing and gasping on the ground, struggling to run, but unfortunately he was clamped by Gao Yuan.
"Gao Yuan..." Zhou Chang raised his hand and pointed at the wall of the wooden house.
Gao Yuan understood without saying anything. He picked up Qin Shou with one hand and threw him against the wall again.
Qin Shou had not recovered from his panic, and was picked up again. His tadpole eyes trembled violently: "How did this humble official displease His Highness Prince Yi? Was it because I failed to agree to what His Highness asked in the carriage in time, or because I failed to give His Highness the prescription for the disease he wanted? Or was it because of last night..."
He failed to hold one of them and almost revealed what happened at Prince Duan’s mansion last night.
Zhou Chang walked forward and did not answer, with only a sneer on his face.
Qin Shou's tadpole eyes trembled, and he turned them around desperately: "Your Highness Prince Yi, what are you going to do? Although you are a prince, I am at least the chief of the imperial hospital and a third-rank official of the court. As a prince, beating up a court official, it is not justifiable even if it is brought to His Majesty."
After calming down a little, Zhou Chang realized that she had just lost her mind, but this was not something that could be controlled by her consciousness alone.
Although he used both soft and hard tactics and originally intended to talk nicely, as long as he could get Qin Shou to produce the prescription, he obviously still lost control.
Qin Shou was irritated by Zhou Chang's sneer, and he was restrained by Gao Yuan and could not escape, so he had to give in: "Your Highness Prince Yi, no matter what you want, as long as I can give it, I will give it to you. Please let me go first, and you can treat what happened just now as if it never happened. I will forget it."
"Haha, just pretend it didn't happen?" Prince Yi was unwilling to give in. Zhou Chang was in a dilemma and could only make half the decision, so he didn't stop him. "I'm going to hit you, what do you think?"
Qin Shou pressed himself against the wooden wall like a fish on a chopping block: "Why is Your Highness Prince Yi acting like this? How did this humble servant offend Your Highness Prince Yi?"
Zhou Chang was desperate. This person still didn't know what the problem was. He had just suppressed a little anger, but it started to rise again. "Beast, you are a doctor, but you didn't save people. You have no mercy on the people. You even disregarded human lives for your own safety. You have the nerve to pretend it didn't happen after doing this? No, I don't want you to pretend it didn't happen. On the contrary, I want you to remember it firmly."
"Your Highness Prince Yi, the words are still fresh in my mind. Didn't you just..." Qin Shou suddenly felt wronged. He realized halfway through the words that those words were probably tests. His tadpole eyes could not help but swim rapidly under his eyebrows.
Seeing that Qin Shou finally understood, Zhou Chang smiled and said, "What do you want to do, beast? I know that even if the matter today is brought before the emperor, I am not afraid. Do you think you can still stand firm?"
Qin Shou's eyes swung around, and he suddenly regained his composure. Although he was still being held, he looked quite indifferent: "Your Highness Prince Yi is naturally not afraid as a prince. However, no matter what I have said to Your Highness Prince Yi, just like what Your Highness told me in the carriage, there is no evidence, even in front of His Majesty."
"That's right, I don't have any evidence." Zhou Chang's expression remained unchanged, as he had expected this. "However, I do have evidence that you, the head of the Imperial Hospital, are not cooperating with me. Whether you can continue to do this is another matter."
Qin Shou had made up his mind, so he showed no fear at all. A flash of contempt flashed across Tadpole's eyes: "Whether I can continue to be the head of the Imperial Hospital is up to your Majesty to decide."
"Haha... Dean Qin is so brave. I admire him." Zhou Chang suddenly laughed and patted Gao Yuan's hand, signaling him to let him go. "In order to cooperate with Dean Qin, I have to be cautious and test him. I hope you don't mind."
Gao Yuan let go.
Qin Shou's feet just landed on the ground, but his legs went weak and he slid down the wall. He was confused again: "Your Highness Prince Yi, what are you talking about cooperation?"
Zhou Chang took two steps back and paced in front of Qin Shou: "Since ancient times, those who accomplish great things should not look ahead or behind. Earlier, I saw that Dean Qin was a little timid and hesitant about my proposal. I thought you would be afraid of my power and try to please me."
Qin Shou was even more confused. He looked up at Zhou Chang without saying a word.
"However, under the threat from Dean Qin just now, he did show a spirit of fighting to the death. In this case, I am willing to give Dean Qin another chance." Zhou Chang walked back and looked down at Qin Shou from above.
Qin Shou was completely blocked by Zhou Chang's tall figure. He couldn't see her face clearly. He was trembling for no reason: "What opportunity?"
Zhou Chang's eyes were curved like a fox, and he smiled like a fox, but he didn't answer. He turned around, walked over to the feet of the man who was still curled up in the corner, and picked up a broken porcelain bowl.
It was such a cold day that there were ice chips floating in the water in the bowl, but fortunately it had not yet completely frozen.
"Help Dean Qin and capture him." Zhou Chang ordered while holding the bowl.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Yuan and Shouhou came up at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, grabbed Qin Shou's shoulders and lifted him up from the ground.
"Ah, what are you going to do?" Qin Shou thought things were easing up, but he never expected it to get worse. His hands and feet were hanging in the air, he was shouting, scratching and kicking, "What are you going to do? I am a third-rank official after all, and His Royal Highness Prince Duan is..."
Zhou Chang came to Qin Shou with a half bowl of ice water and smiled even more calmly: "Master Qin, don't be afraid. I am sincere about what we just said in the carriage. But my method just now was indeed not well thought out. Now I have thought of a better method for you, Master Qin."
"What method?" Qin Shou stared at the broken bowl in Zhou Chang's hand with his tadpole eyes, his eyeballs twitching.
Zhou Chang swirled the ice water in the bowl and said slowly, "As the saying goes, 'feelings are feelings, business is business'. I can still tell the difference. After all, the relationship between you and me is definitely not as deep as the one between you and Brother Duan. But when it comes to making money, you and I are like-minded. However, cooperation requires adjustment and mutual help. I just want to help Dean Qin."
Qin Shou couldn't see Zhou Chang's entire face. He only saw his pair of phoenix eyes. He looked harmless, but his evil charm was eerie and chilling. He felt so suffocated that he couldn't speak.
