My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 225 - 226: Deceiving the Monarch?

Chapter 225: Chapter 226: Deceiving the Monarch?

"Just because you can’t heal doesn’t mean others can’t either," Chu Nanli said coldly.

"You!" Bai Wuheng, infuriated by Chu Nanli’s arrogant and presumptuous words, was beyond angry.

This was the first time his medical skills had ever been questioned.

Chu Nanli was nothing but a quack, how dare she doubt his medical abilities?

"Chu Nanli, don’t spout nonsense just for a bit of merit!" Bai Wuheng accused, "You’re deceiving His Majesty. If you’re exposed, it’ll implicate Yunting!"

"You’re welcome to expose me," Chu Nanli said, her eyes flashing with impatience.

She had been treating patients for two hours and was already exhausted.

Bai Wuheng, as a physician, had not lifted a finger to help and was now causing her trouble!

"You!" Bai Wuheng, seeing Chu Nanli’s arrogant demeanor, felt a surge of anger that set his blood boiling, "You really are a habitual liar!"

Lying so brazenly, she must have told many lies before.

Chu Nanli, now also angry, retorted, "If you say she doesn’t have smallpox, then go ahead and remove the face mask! If you get infected later, don’t say I didn’t warn you!"

Leaving those words behind, Chu Nanli turned and left.

Bai Wuheng was so angry he couldn’t speak. He believed in his own judgment; the Jade Consort’s condition couldn’t possibly be smallpox!

He tore off his face mask, and by the time Ye Yunting thought of stopping him, it was too late.

"Let’s go," Ye Yunting said to Bai Wuheng.

Instead of going straight to rest, Chu Nanli went out to check on the current status of the people who had been in contact with the Jade Consort.

They were all wearing face masks and had been isolated in different rooms, each of their conditions still seemed fine.

The Imperial Physician was waiting outside the door. When Chu Nanli saw him, she called him over and wrote him a prescription.

"After boiling this medicine, give it to the people who have been in contact with the Jade Consort. It can prevent them from contracting smallpox," Chu Nanli instructed.

After what just happened, the Imperial Physician dared not disrespect Chu Nanli and took the prescription to prepare the medicine.

On the contrary, Bai Wuheng, who followed, frowned deeply at this scene.

"Chu Nanli, are you going to recklessly administer drugs now? You..." Bai Wuheng hadn’t finished his sentence when Chu Nanli turned and entered another contact’s room, not paying him any heed.

Bai Wuheng’s face looked terrible, unwillingly following her.

As soon as Chu Nanli entered the room, she heard a faint cry for help.

"Save me..."

Chu Nanli looked down to see a man lying on the ground, weak and breathless, the very same Ji Shen who had distrusted her earlier.

His face was flushed with a hint of red rash emerging, and he was also filled with immense regret.

He should not have doubted Zhuang Muyan and his own master, let alone not worn a mask!

Now, afflicted with smallpox, he was in a panic.

Smallpox was an ancient and complicated disease that was very difficult to cure!

Moreover, after the way he had criticized Chu Nanli earlier, even if she could cure it, would she help him?

Seeing that someone had been infected, Chu Nanli’s countenance was very grim.

"Someone come, lift him onto the bed," Chu Nanli ordered those outside.

However, there were few servants in the Jade Consort’s courtyard, most of them isolated, leaving virtually no one around.

She then turned her gaze to Ye Yunting and Bai Wuheng.

Reluctantly, Bai Wuheng went over to lift the man, for he was a physician and naturally could not stand by and watch someone die.

Seeing that Bai Wuheng truly wasn’t wearing a mask, out of medical duty, Chu Nanli reminded him, "You should wear a mask, it’s safer..."

"Mind your own business!" Bai Wuheng snapped angrily.
