Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 217 Escape
Doctor Zhang's eyes were fixed on the screen, a sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth. Young Master Wuwang was trying to trick him with Princess Roujia, but fortunately he had seen through it in advance. Humph, ignorant child!
After all the doctors finished their diagnosis, the screen was quickly removed, and a woman in a red dress slowly stood up from her chair. She looked haggard, and her eyes revealed a hint of worry and uneasiness, while her hands were naturally placed on her slightly bulging belly.
Doctor Zhang was struck by lightning. His smile froze on his face, his eyes filled with indescribable shock and confusion. He muttered unconsciously, "This... This is impossible!"
The doctors presented their answers one after another, but Dr. Zhang pressed his answer firmly on the table with trembling hands.
Doctor Tian, who was familiar with Doctor Zhang, saw this and patted him on the shoulder. He said loudly, "Old Zhang, don't be secretive. Show me your answer. To be honest, I only found that the pulses of both the fetus and the mother were a little strange, but I don't know why."
Doctor Tian reached out to get Doctor Zhang's answer, but Doctor Zhang seemed to have touched some sensitive nerve and held on to the paper tightly.
With a "hiss", the paper was torn into two pieces during the struggle between the two.
Doctor Zhang's face turned ashen, anger surging in his chest. He threw the half piece of paper in his hand to the ground and stepped on it twice, and only then did his anger dissipate a little.
Doctor Tian's curiosity was completely aroused. He bent down to pick up the half piece of paper on the ground and carefully put it together. When his eyes fell on the paper, he couldn't help but exclaimed. It was written on it: This woman's pulse is neither floating nor sinking, neither fast nor slow, but gentle and strong. Therefore, she is in good health, with abundant qi and blood, and there is no sign of slippery pulse.
The other doctors thought that Dr. Tian's reaction was because Dr. Zhang's answer was too brilliant, so they quickly gathered around. But when they saw the answer on the paper clearly, they were all shocked.
The doctors started talking at once, and Doctor Tian couldn't help but ask, "Old Zhang, did you make a mistake? How could you not have felt such an obvious slippery pulse?"
Doctor Zhang's old face was frighteningly pale, as if all the blood had been drained out in an instant. His lips trembled slightly, and his hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.
He glared at Xie Qingli and roared hoarsely, "You did this on purpose! You deliberately found a pregnant woman, deliberately made her change into a red dress similar to Princess Roujia's, and deliberately exposed her flaws in front of me, so that you could win the competition with the Fourth Young Master Meng and destroy the reputation I have accumulated for decades. You are so cruel!"
Xie Qingli's expression was calm, his eyes fixed on the furious Doctor Zhang without causing any ripples.
The woman in red walked gracefully toward the group. She bowed slightly to Doctor Zhang and said softly, "Doctor, you've misunderstood! My maid and I happened to be passing by here today. We heard that a miraculous doctor was on duty, so we came in to see him. As for this red dress, it's what I wore when I went out today, and I haven't changed it yet. Please don't make unwarranted assumptions."
Doctor Zhang froze. He felt the scrutiny from all sides, like countless sharp blades slicing through his pride and self-esteem. He turned abruptly and rushed out of Miaoxin Hall, reckless.
Everyone in the room looked at each other, their eyes all looking at Doctor Zhang's receding back. They didn't understand why Doctor Zhang would flee in such a panic in front of so many people.
Meng Ziheng, who was sitting next to the Second Prince, had a dark complexion. He stood up abruptly, swung his sleeves, and walked out. The stewards and servants of Deyi Hall also stood up and followed him, a large group of people walking out.
Just as Meng Ziheng was about to step out of the door, a cold voice sounded from behind him: "Fourth Young Master Meng, if you leave now, what will happen to the bet between you and me?"
Meng Ziheng's expression instantly became complicated and indecipherable, his eyes flickered, and his mind raced to find an excuse.
As everyone watched with bated breath, he actually started to act rogue: "The pulse diagnosis contest between Doctor Zhang and you ended without cause due to Doctor Zhang's sudden death. Therefore, you didn't lose, and I didn't win either. For the time being, let's just pretend this contest never started. Let's fight again next time!"
With that, he turned quickly and walked away, his steps stumbling and hurried, like a prey fleeing in panic. He knew full well that, despite his tough words and his refusal to admit it, he had completely lost today. Perhaps, Deyi Hall would no longer have a place in Shengjing City!
In the hall, the second prince sat alone at the head of the table, feeling mixed emotions. His fourth cousin and everyone from Deyi Hall had left, but the competition was not over yet. As a notary, he was in a dilemma as to whether to leave or stay.
After hesitating for a moment, he slowly stood up, his voice trembling with an imperceptible tremor: "I remember that I have important matters to attend to today, so I'll take my leave first!"
Xie Qingli's face was as calm as water. He took the lead in bowing to the second prince and said loudly: "Farewell, Your Highness!" Everyone in the room followed suit.
The Second Prince, accompanied by his two guards, walked heavily out of Miaoxin Hall. The way he handled today's incident was so bad. Did it mean he couldn't become emperor? If he couldn't become emperor, how could he marry Miss Xie?
The departure of the Second Prince made the atmosphere in the hall a little subtle, but the temptation of the rare medical book and one thousand taels of silver was like an invisible force that quickly dispelled the haze in everyone's hearts. The doctors and the people were still enthusiastic, and the competition continued.
By midday, the competition was drawing to a close. The doctors unanimously voted Xie Qingli the winner, and he presented precious prescriptions and rare medical manuscripts to the doctors. Unknowingly, Xie Qingli had conquered the doctors, earning their respect and recognition.
Suddenly, an anxious and panicked voice sounded at the door: "Quick, folks, go and read the notice from the Dali Temple. Something big has happened at Xuanjing Temple..."
A ragged, sweaty commoner hurried in, his eyes flashing with fear and anxiety, and his voice trembling.
"What's going on?" someone couldn't help but ask.
The man looked anxious and said hurriedly, "I heard it's about a missing girl and the major crimes of Xuan Jingguan." He stamped his feet anxiously, turned around and ran in the direction of the Dali Temple, shouting over his shoulder as he ran, "Oh, you guys will know everything if you go and take a look!"
The onlookers inside Miaoxin Hall no longer cared about the competition and rushed out like a tide. Even several doctors couldn't help but hurriedly pack up their things and rush out.
The Dali Temple's notice exploded like a thunderclap across the sky above Shengjing City, its force powerful enough to shake the entire city. The numerous crimes listed in black and white instantly made Xuan Jingguan the target of public criticism...
