Chapter 175 - 176: Dare to Bet?

Chapter 175: Chapter 176: Dare to Bet?

Chu Nanli had refined some mild tonic medicines, and when she was nearly done, she heard footsteps outside the door.

She thought it was Princess Consort Yang Shu who had come, but it turned out to be Bai Wuheng.

"What are you here for?" Chu Nanli asked warily.

"I heard you weren’t feeling well, Yunting asked me to come check on you," Bai Wuheng replied.

Bai Wuheng opened the prison door, walked in, and frowned at seeing the simple and filthy surroundings.

With a look of disgust, he used a handkerchief to brush off some dust, then set his medical box on the ground and gestured for Chu Nanli to sit down for a pulse diagnosis.

Chu Nanli remained standing, not moving an inch.

Bai Wuheng frowned, "What’s the matter?"

"No need," Chu Nanli said flatly.

She didn’t want to have too much contact with Bai Wuheng; otherwise, her own pregnancy could easily be exposed.

After all, the other party was a physician.

Bai Wuheng did not expect her to be ungrateful.

He arched an eyebrow, sarcastically saying, "Well, the Princess Consort is a master of medicine, and she probably looks down on the likes of Bai."

"I dare not claim to be highly skilled in medicine, but at least I will not lose my medical ethics for personal gain," Chu Nanli retorted calmly.

Bai Wuheng’s expression darkened. He understood what Chu Nanli meant and, with a displeased frown, said, "Are you accusing me of lacking medical ethics?"

"How do I lack medical ethics?" he asked.

"Doesn’t Imperial Physician Bai know there is no scientific basis for using a living fetus in medicine?" Chu Nanli said mockingly.

"Putting aside the fetus issue for a moment, the fact that you’ve repeatedly covered for Lin Fuying, ignoring the truth, doesn’t that betray the original aspiration of a physician?"

Bai Wuheng frowned, recalling those past events.

After a moment, he said, "Yingying is kind-hearted, I believe in her."

"Everyone has their likes and dislikes, but when being swayed by personal emotions during medical practice, don’t you think that’s a betrayal of principles?" Chu Nanli asked coldly.

Bai Wuheng was taken aback.

Chu Nanli continued, "Besides, is your judgment really that reliable?"

"Dare you bet that if one day you see Lin Fuying’s true face, you will regret it immensely?" she said, with a voice that resonated firmly.

Bai Wuheng was momentarily dazed. After a while, he laughed and said, "Nonsense."

Bai Wuheng thought Chu Nanli might be crazy, he simply didn’t want to bother with her.

He had played with Yingying since childhood; he knew her character very well...

Chu Nanli then knew he wouldn’t take the bet.

People are not likely to easily doubt things they deeply believe in.

She had only said those things to irritate Bai Wuheng so he would leave quickly.

Not long after Bai Wuheng had left, Lin Fuying hurried over, panting.

Carrying such a virulent poison inside her body, she always felt uncomfortably anxious, which is why she quickly "persuaded" Princess Consort Yang Shu to come.

"I brought the person, so where is the antidote?" Lin Fuying gasped, teeth clenched as she spoke to Chu Nanli, her expression somewhat distorted.

Chu Nanli gave a small smirk, wondering what Ye Yunting and Bai Wuheng would think if they saw her expression.

"This is the antidote; you only need to take half of it. Make sure you don’t swallow it whole," Chu Nanli took out an antidote pill.

Lin Fuying was skeptical, but after receiving the antidote, she withdrew.

At that moment, Princess Consort Yang Shu and her palace maid, Lulu, slowly walked over.

From a distance, Chu Nanli could hear Yang Shu’s voice filled with disdain:

"What kind of dump is this? It’s dirty and smelly, an utter insult to my body!"

"Lulu, you go prepare a bath first. When I return, I want to cleanse thoroughly... these clothes must be discarded too!"

With a look of disgust, Princess Consort Yang Shu lifted her luxurious dress as she approached Chu Nanli.
