Song Zhuo was stunned by the coldness in his eyes. He did not doubt that what he said was true at all.
The dean quickly said, “Men, drag him out.”
Song Zhuo came back to his senses and shouted, “Now is the time for the Imperial Hospital to hire people. If you chase me out, I want to see who can replace me.”
After saying that, he proudly waited for them to go back on their words. If it were not for the fact that the Imperial Hospital did not have enough manpower, they would not have looked for doctors among the people.
The dean’s gaze fixed on Old Ma who was watching the show from the side. For some reason, he suddenly said, “If you leave, he will be the new left court judge.”
Old Ma was shocked. He did not expect that the fire of the masses would burn him in the end.
He wanted to refuse but was stopped by Elder She who was beside him.
Song Zhuo mocked, “What can a dirty old man do?”
The moment these words were said, Old Ma was instantly displeased. He decided to accept the post as the left court judge. He immediately pulled down the hand on his mouth and said with his hands on his waist, “Who says an old man like me can’t do it well? I’m going to prove you wrong today.”
A trace of nostalgia flashed across the dean’s eyes. Although he knew that this old man could not possibly be his junior brother, the way he would not admit defeat was really similar to his junior brother.
Song Zhuo had no other choice. He looked at the people watching the show in the Imperial Hospital and swept his gaze across the people from his own faction. He sneered, “I can leave. I don’t want to stay in this Imperial Hospital anymore. Don’t regret it. If I leave, the people from my faction will follow me. If so many people leave at this time, I’m afraid that you will be in a terrible situation.”
The dean frowned. It was the time they needed manpower. If all the people from the left court judge’s faction would leave the hospital, it would indeed become a big trouble, but he was not afraid.
He said coldly, “It’s better to be indecent than lacking. We can’t keep those who are no longer interested to work here. Whoever wants to leave with you may leave.”
The left court judge did not expect that he would not compromise even with such a threat. He could only grit his teeth and say, “All of you, come with me.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the Imperial Hospital. He had only taken two steps when he felt that something was wrong. He turned around and saw that none of those people had moved.
Immediately, his face darkened and he said angrily, “What are all of you doing?”
The imperial physicians and medicine helpers of the left court judge’s faction looked at each other. It was obvious that the dean had made up his mind. It was not easy for them to squeeze into the Imperial Hospital. They could not just leave like this.
Old Ma mocked, “If no one goes with you, you can leave on your own.”
Song Zhuo’s sinister eyes stared at those people and said, “Don’t regret it.” After saying those harsh words, he left dejectedly.
The dean glanced at everyone from the Imperial Hospital and said, “From now on, Old Ma will be the Left Court Judge of the Imperial Hospital.” He extended his hand and pointed at the people from Song Zhuo’s faction and said, “All of you will follow him.”
Those people lowered their eyebrows and greeted Old Ma obediently, “Left Court Judge.”
Old Ma grinned and said, “Alright, go back and do your work.”
Elder She walked to the dean’s side and wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by him and said, “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”
Elder She nodded and the worry in his eyes eased a little.
Nalan Cui did not care about this farce at all. If Song Zhuo had not insulted Su Yan in his words just now, he would not have cared at all. Seeing that the matter was over, he said, “Since the antidote is out, can we start putting them into effect?”
Old Ma and Elder She looked at each other. Both of their faces didn’t look good. They looked at each other, and it was Elder She who said, “Your Majesty, there is no problem with this prescription, but one of the medicinal ingredients is a little troublesome.”
Nalan Cui frowned and waited for him to continue.
Elder She paused for a moment and looked at Old Ma, who was about to shrink, before continuing, “This medicinal ingredient is the seed of the orchid. The quantity is too small and the price is expensive. It is really not easy to popularize.”
Orchid?
