Chapter 351: Chapter 350 Xie Feifei’s Poisonous Scheme
The remaining few, especially the subordinates of Deputy General Zheng, exchanged glances, then seemed to tentatively step forward.
If they did not obey, they would be driven out of the military camp.
So why didn’t they pretend to obey?
But as soon as they moved their feet, Shi Jing’s indifferent voice came from above, "If you choose to trust the Princess, she will not let you down. But if anyone pretends to trust her, I, as a general, will not be lenient."
At that moment, his sharp gaze swept over them, scaring them into silently retracting their feet.
Soon, the people in the camp were divided into two factions.
Those who did not trust Chu Baihan were in the minority.
"Alright, you may go receive your money and leave."
Shi Jing did not even spare them an extra glance.
This left them all holding back a surge of anger.
Just then, they saw Zhu Yinian coming, and they hurriedly ran over to complain.
"General Zhu, just because we do not fully trust the Princess, General Shi is going to drive us out."
"General, we are loyal to you and to the camp. To drive us out like this, wouldn’t it make us feel disheartened?"
"Exactly, General. We have followed you for many years, surely you can’t bear to see us treated this way."
"..."
They all voiced their grievances to Zhu Yinian.
They thought Zhu Yinian would give them an explanation, after all, he had always been extremely good to his subordinates in the camp.
But this time, there was not much warmth on Zhu Yinian’s face.
With a cool voice, he said, "I too think General Shi is doing the right thing. If you cannot obey, then find somewhere else."
"General!"
They wanted to plead for mercy, but Shi Jing had already ordered people to take them away.
Chu Baihan watched this scene, pressing the center of her brow.
This was what she had wanted to do, but she had not expected Shi Jing to do it for her.
Did this count as owing him a favor?
...
"Princess, Miss Xie has gone to Deputy General Zheng’s tent."
At this time, a Hidden Guard came to report this matter to Chu Baihan.
Hearing the commotion here, Zhu Yinian immediately came over and said, "Princess, if you do not wish to see Deputy General Zheng, I can arrange another place for him to recover."
"There’s no need to trouble yourself, Miss Xie is already in the military camp, and if Deputy General Zheng were to recover somewhere else, it wouldn’t be convenient."
Chu Baihan pulled at the corner of her mouth, her voice calm.
She had no intention of talking more with Zhu Yinian and nodded, then turned and left.
However, before returning to her own tent, she still assigned a task to the Hidden Guards.
"Go investigate... everything about Xie Feifei. Leave no stone unturned."
"Yes, Princess."
...
Meanwhile.
Xie Feifei had returned to her own tent to rest.
As a doctor, and a woman, she had her own tent in the military camp.
She looked up at Doctor Zhang, opening her mouth as if to say something.
Suddenly, a soldier rushed in hurriedly.
"Miss Xie, there is an urgent matter."
Seeing the man burst into her tent, a cold light flashed in Xie Feifei’s eyes.
But she quickly returned to her gentle demeanor.
With a smile, she then asked unhurriedly, "No need to rush, take your time to speak. What’s the matter?"
"The Princess is unwilling to treat Deputy General Zheng’s wounds, so the General has sent me to ask for your assistance. Deputy General Zheng trusts you a great deal and has said that no matter how you treat him, it will be fine."
The soldier hastily replied.
Upon hearing this, Xie Feifei’s smile instantly faded.
"I need to prepare some herbs. You go back first, I will follow shortly," she said, pulling at the corner of her mouth, her tone suppressing her emotions.
The soldier failed to detect anything amiss about her.
He simply felt relieved that Deputy General Zheng had hope, so he nodded excitedly and then ran off.
Once the soldier had left, Xie Feifei could no longer sit still.
She looked up at Doctor Zhang and said in an unfriendly tone, "Go and find out what happened. Weren’t Doctor Li and Chu Baihan adamant about amputating Deputy General Zheng’s leg? How could they have changed their stance in such a short time?"
Doctor Zhang always held himself with arrogance in front of others, but upon hearing her scolding tone, he immediately bent forward and nodded, "Yes, I will go and inquire right away."
He returned after a short while.
When he came back, his complexion was extremely unsightly.
He recounted everything Shi Jing had done.
"That Shi Jing sure knows how to establish authority for Chu Baihan," Xie Feifei clenched her fists, her eyes filled with malevolence.
"Are we still going to treat Deputy General Zheng’s leg? His injury, isn’t it something that can’t be healed with just some herbs?"
Doctor Zhang muttered softly.
The next moment, Xie Feifei’s fierce gaze fell on him.
"You fool, if I were not worried about the master’s personally arranged man finding out, I wouldn’t use you. After so many years of practicing medicine, you still don’t know which injuries can be healed with herbs and which are beyond the help of any medicine."
"You, you mean... Deputy General Zheng’s leg must be amputated?" Doctor Zhang’s face turned pale as he asked quietly.
"Of course. If we delay any longer, his death is certain," she said coldly.
Xie Feifei sat down, laughing coldly.
At this moment, she radiated an aura of ruthlessness, a stark contrast to the gentle and kind front she put up for others.
"If that idiot Deputy General Zheng’s leg must be amputated to survive, why did we even say that herbs could fully treat him?"
Doctor Zhang scratched his head in confusion.
"Isn’t it because I gave you a whole month to deal with Doctor Li, yet he is still alive and well. He controls almost all the herbs in the camp, making it inconvenient for us to make a move," she scolded harshly.
Doctor Zhang turned even paler, speaking nervously, "So, all the things you did, were actually to get rid of Doctor Li?"
"I originally wanted Doctor Li to lose the trust of everyone in the camp. Who knew that Chu Baihan would interfere? Now I have no choice but to drag her down too. Whether she succeeds in saving Deputy General Zheng or not, people in the camp will harbor resentment against her..."
"But I never expected her to choose not to save a life. Wasn’t she said to be compassionate, never abandoning those in need? When we were fighting on the frontier, she even agreed to treat prisoners."
In the end, Xie Feifei’s frown deepened.
Chu Baihan... truly was an unpredictable factor.
"So, now that this hot potato has been tossed back to us, what shall we do?" asked Doctor Zhang, his tone becoming irritable."
"It’s simple; if the person dies, there’s no longer a need for treatment," Xie Feifei’s mouth curved into a sinister smile.
Doctor Zhang shivered, "You, you plan to kill Deputy General Zheng?"
Although he had done many bad things, he was still very scared of directly taking a life.
"I, I..."
He stammered.
Xie Feifei just glanced at him and knew what he was thinking.
She sneered, "These past few days, as you cooperated with me, secretly poisoning the people in the camp, weren’t you fearful then? Right now, you and I are grasshoppers on the same string; trying to flee now will only lead to a quicker death."
