The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

Pei Yi knew from childhood that Qin Baiwei was a stubborn person. When this stubbornness was applied to him, he really felt a little annoyed.

He didn't want to agree to Qin Baiwei's conditions, but he also didn't want to ruin the hopes of hundreds of thousands of Lingnan people because of his own mistakes.

After thinking about it for a while, he did not immediately agree to Qin Baiwei's request, but said soothingly: "I need to discuss this matter with A Yuan."

Pei Yi did not say what would happen if Xie Zhichan disagreed, because he felt that Ayuan would definitely not agree.

He just hoped that this would buy him some more time so he could think of a solution.

When Pei Yi found the busy Xie Zhichan in the ward, she was applying medicine to a patient who had had rotten snake scales dug out.

Pei Yi stood at the door and called out, "Ayuan."

Xie Zhichan packed up his medicine box, stood up, pounded his sore back, turned around and saw Pei Yi coming over, and asked him, "What do you want to talk to me about? I'm busy here."

Pei Yi walked in, pulled her and said, "Come with me first."

Seeing Pei Yi's stern expression and heavy tone, Xie Zhichan thought that he must have something important to discuss, so he followed him.

After returning to the room where they lived, Xie Zhichan washed his hands with the water he used to wash his face in the morning, and then quickly poured himself a cup of cold tea. Seeing Pei Yi sitting aside in silence, he asked him again, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Pei Yi looked at Xie Zhichan and said, "Qin Baiwei said she has a prescription for treating this epidemic. She has already found two patients to test it and it has proven to be effective."

After hearing this, Xie Zhichan did not think much about it at first, and immediately said excitedly: "The prescription is available?! This is good news! The people of Lingnan are saved!"

After thinking for a while, he said, "Only two people are enough to test it. The scope of the test is still too small. We can try it on 20 people at different stages of the disease. We can expand the scope of the test and make sure there are no problems before we put it into use on all patients."

She continued talking to herself, even planning the follow-up arrangements. Only after she finished did she realize that Pei Yi did not agree with her, but still had a gloomy face.

Xie Zhichan thought that the prescription was in Qin Baiwei's hands, so he guessed that Qin Baiwei would not give it to him easily, so he asked Pei Yi, "What are her conditions? Tell me."

Seeing that Pei Yi didn't answer, he sneered and asked, "Will you let me divorce you and marry her?"

Pei Yi shook his head, and then said to Xie Zhichan: "It's not a divorce. She wants me to ask the emperor to grant me and her a marriage, and to grant her the position of co-wife."

Xie Zhichan listened, his expression cold, and nodded, saying: "She has become smart now. Seeing that the position of the principal wife is far away, and you will not give up on me, she simply wants the position of the co-wife."

Thinking that Pei Yi would come to discuss with her, it must be that Qin Baiwei had already contacted him, and Pei Yi knew clearly that if Qin Baiwei's conditions were not met, she would probably choose to perish together with him, leaving no one with the prescription.

This is something that Qin Baiwei could do.

She looked at Pei Yi and said in a relaxed tone: "Why do you need to tell me about the peach blossom you provoked? Just give her what she wants."

As if to say: "She just wants a toy, give it to her--"

Pei Yi frowned and said, "Do you mean for me to just agree to her?" He came to her in the hope that she could think of other ways to make Qin Baiwei willingly hand over the prescription.

Xie Zhichan rubbed his temples and said, "My germ experiment in the medical space is not going well. I still have no idea whether I can find a prescription to treat the epidemic. I am afraid that I will never find it. If we can't find it, people will die every day, and people will watch their loved ones leave every day. Every tear and cry of theirs pulls at my nerves every day.

I know this is not something we both want, but if I can trade your status as a co-wife for the lives of those people, I am willing. If I have to give up the lives of many people in order to have you all to myself, I am afraid I will suffer for the rest of my life. "

Pei Yi was silent for a long time, then said to Xie Zhichan: "Ayuan, I would rather watch you cry and make a fuss, saying that you don't want to. I often wonder, what am I to you? Am I an object that can be discarded at any time to exchange for medicine? You only know that if you don't give me up to exchange for medicine, you will not be at peace for the rest of your life, but you never thought that if you really agree to her conditions, I will not be at peace for the rest of my life. You know clearly that I will only have you in my heart."

Xie Zhichan said angrily: "Pei Yi, are you trying to be unreasonable? Let me ask you, if you were allowed to make a choice between your marriage and the lives of so many people, what would you choose?"

Pei Yi fell into silence again.

Even though he knew that what Xie Zhichan said was right, he was still angry. Xie Zhichan's attitude was too calm and he didn't make any noise. It was as if to her, if she faced a choice between this or that, he was the one she could give up at any time.

But he didn't want to argue any further, so he just nodded, said, "I understand," and turned and left.

Xie Zhichan then let go of the teacup in his hand, looked down at the crack on the teacup, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, cursing the damn polygamy of this era in his heart. Everyone's marriage is like a cracked egg, allowing flies to slip through the gap at any time!

When Pei Yi made another appointment with Qin Baiwei, he gave her a handwritten marriage certificate and said, "I will ask the emperor for permission after returning to Beijing. This marriage certificate is my promise, Pei Yi." He then extended his hand and said, "I hope Miss Qin can give me the prescription first. It is urgent to solve the epidemic in Lingnan."

When Qin Baiwei received the marriage certificate, she had a feeling that it was both real and unreal, as if this was what she had been seeking all her life. But when she looked at Pei Yi's cold expression, she felt empty in her heart.

Anyway, this was the condition she and Pei Yi had agreed on.

She took the marriage certificate and took out the prescription from her sleeve pocket, saying, "There is only a marriage certificate, but no imperial decree. Brother Yi has only fulfilled half of the conditions he promised me. So I can only do half of what I promised Brother Yi. Therefore, this prescription cannot be given to Brother Yi."

Pei Yi frowned.

Qin Baiwei added: "But don't worry, Brother Yi. Although I won't give you the prescription, I will make it public."

Pei Yi's complexion improved a little, and he said, "Before publishing the prescription, we need to find 20 more people with different illnesses to test the effectiveness of the prescription again."

Qin Baiwei frowned slightly and said, "Since Brother Yi doesn't believe me, you can just take the marriage certificate back. I can destroy this prescription in front of you." After that, she folded the prescription in half and tore a slit.

Pei Yi thought about it in his mind and compromised: "In this case, let's publish the prescription."

Qin Baiwei sneered and said, "Brother Yi, don't be so nervous. The medicine bag has been torn up. I also remember it in my mind, but I need Brother Yi to help me arrange it."

On the second day, Pei Yi took Qin Baiwei with him and asked Qin Baiwei to announce the prescription in front of all the patients in the government office.

Qin Baiwei stood in the crowded courtyard and said to all the patients, "I am Qin Baiwei, the daughter of the director of the Imperial Hospital. Don't worry, I have found a cure for your illness."

Many people who were suffering from shingles, especially those who felt that they had seen the end of their lives, suddenly saw hope for life again. They were very excited and knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you Miss Qin for saving my life."

Qin Baiwei smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me, because Prince Pei has already thanked you on your behalf. He is grateful that I found the prescription, and has agreed to marry me as his second wife, and has given me a marriage certificate. I hope that after you recover, you can also send some blessings to me and the prince."

When the patients heard this, they thought it was a great event and sent their congratulations one after another. The square was bustling with noise for a while.

Pei Yi participated in this show with a cold face.

He knew that Qin Baiwei did this simply because she did not believe in his promise, so she wanted to expose the matter in front of so many people in Lingnan, so that so many people would remember her, Qin Baiwei's kindness, and force him to keep his promise.

But what would Ayuan think when this marriage was announced with such fanfare?

He didn't want to stay any longer, so he went to the studio where Xie Zhichan often stayed to find her. He saw that she seemed completely unaffected and was still buried in a pile of pathology logs.

She was not sad about it—

Pei Yi felt relieved and lost at the same time.
