What bad thoughts could a genius doctor have?

Chapter 198: Cheating Everyone You Can

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhou didn't say anything else, but lowered his body even lower: "I admit my guilt!"

She rested her forehead on the back of her hand, her eyes clear. She wanted to see who would get the pair of poisonous insects in her hand!
The ghost doctor is not bound by worldly constraints and acts recklessly to the extreme. She seems to have no interest in anything in the world, yet seems to be extremely interested in everything in the world.

Throughout her life, she killed far more people with poison than she saved with her medical skills.

The ghost doctor raised many children in Wushan. Some of these children were abandoned and picked up by her, some were exchanged for stones from the mountains, and some were snatched from others...

The ghost doctor would classify the children she brought back into different levels. She would keep the good-looking children by her side, and among these good-looking children, she would pick out some who were suitable for studying medicine and keep them by her side.

As for children of ordinary appearance, she would divide them into guards and servants, and someone would specialize in training these children.

As for the large number of children whom she dislikes, their fates are much more miserable. Nine out of ten will become tools for her to test poisons. Those who are lucky may survive, but most of them will die in the poison testing.

Shi Zhou was originally the one who was raised by the ghost doctor to study medicine. The ghost doctor named her Yu Yan. She was extremely intelligent and talented, and was the smartest among all the children studying medicine.

At first, Yuyan and Yuze were the two children most loved by the Ghost Doctor.

But as time went by, Yu Ze gradually grew up, and his outstanding appearance and figure made the Ghost Doctor favor him, until later, the Ghost Doctor no longer allowed anyone else to follow him except Yu Ze.

Yuze and Yuyan grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. It was thought that Yuze was five years older than Yuyan, so during their medical studies, Yuze took great care of Yuyan.

This brotherhood did not disappear as they grew up, which naturally caused the ghost doctor's dissatisfaction.

It was because of the closeness between the two brothers and sisters that the Ghost Doctor became jealous and ostensibly asked Yu Yan to test medicine, but in fact he was using Yu Yan to test poison.

At that time, Shi Zhou was trapped in a barrel full of poisons every day, unable to live or die. Her body was soaked in countless poisons. From life to death, and from death to life again, Yu Yan herself didn't know how she survived.

For the ghost doctor, this kind of poison testing is her pleasure.

Countless innocent lives died in the poison testing process, and Yu Yan was the only one who survived.

If Yu Ze hadn't been suddenly poisoned by an incurable snake venom and fell into a coma, Yu Yan would probably still be suffering in Wushan.

Frankly speaking, if the Ghost Doctor had not sent a large number of Wushan disciples out to seek medical treatment in order to save Yu Ze and failed, it would not have been Yu Yan's turn to go out and seek medicine.

From Yu Yan to Shi Zhou, no one knew that she could still maintain this mentality until today.

Shi Zhou has followed the Ghost Doctor since he was a child. If the Ghost Doctor had not had other feelings for Yu Ze, Shi Zhou would have been the Ghost Doctor's most proud disciple.

It’s a pity that after the Ghost Doctor fell in love, she could no longer look down on anyone else. Even the disciple who could have inherited her school became a thorn in her side.

Shi Zhou knew the ghost doctor too well.

She thinks highly of herself and looks down on everything in this world. She is not bound by worldly rules and will do whatever she wants regardless of the consequences. Who knows if she would think being an emperor would be fun and want to give it a try?

As for the old emperor, that old thing had only one thought in his mind, immortality.

Having already experienced the life of the most noble man in the world, he is greedy for the world and unwilling to grow old. He is reluctant to give up the throne. Only immortality can make everything he has now indestructible.

He would rather believe his childhood memories than believe that he had mistaken someone else.

Since he believed that Shi Zhou was an immortal, he must be more interested in the immortal's master. Shi Zhou believed that the emperor was not greedy for beauty, but he must be curious whether the master Shi Zhou mentioned was really as beautiful and youthful as Shi Zhou said.

It no longer mattered whether Shi Zhou's words were true or false. What mattered was that the emperor believed him and would definitely find a way to find this person.

Who knows what the scene will be like by then?

Shi Zhou couldn't leave the palace by herself, so she tried to stir up trouble and drag these people into trouble. She would cheat as many people as she could and make sure no one would have an easy life.

Emperor Jianxing looked at Shi Zhou coldly and said, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you reply to the letter?"

Shi Zhou slowly got up from the ground, bowed to the emperor, and then walked to the table. "My master is a smart man. If what I said is not true, I am afraid that my master will not believe it. How should I write the letter? I need to think about it."

Emperor Jianxing snorted coldly, "Then think about it now."

Shi Zhou responded, and then wrote down that he would go to the temple with the Empress Dowager to worship Buddha in three days, and take the opportunity to meet her, "Your Majesty, I write this, but I don't know if the master will accept the invitation."

Emperor Jianxing: "If your master doesn't go, it means you did it on purpose, and I will naturally hold you accountable then."

Shi Zhou: "...I am terrified."

Shi Zhou released the crows and said to Emperor Jianxing: "There is something I want to remind Your Majesty. Although my master is a doctor, she is very interested in making poisons. So my master is good at using poisons. If Your Majesty goes there rashly, I am worried..."

Emperor Jianxing was stunned for a moment, "You exposed your master's secrets, aren't you afraid that he will punish you?"

Shi Zhou: "Of course I am afraid, but now I am in the palace. If your majesty's body is damaged, I will not be able to survive. As far as I am concerned, your majesty and I are on the same side."

Emperor Jianxing couldn't help but laugh at this, "You are quite clever, and you know in whose hands you are now living. Don't worry, I have hired so many imperial doctors, but I don't want them to eat salty rice."

Shi Zhou: "Your Majesty, I have a humble request. The master carries an ice coffin with him. The person in the coffin is my senior brother. Please, Your Majesty, spare my senior brother's body."

Emperor Jianxing was stunned. "Your master is still carrying the body with her? This body is so important that she is allowed to carry it with her?"

Shi Zhou didn't look up: "It's very important, important enough for Master to give up everything."

Emperor Jianxing stared at Shi Zhou for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Okay, okay, I promise, I will definitely keep your brother's body!"

After saying this, Emperor Jianxing strode out of the courtyard.

After everyone left, Shi Zhou sat down on a stool. She took out the ghost doctor's blood and poured it drop by drop into the jar for raising the Gu.

In her mind, Senior Brother Yu Ze was tall and handsome, but she wondered what he looked like now after sleeping for so many years.

In Shi Zhou's heart, she naturally hoped that Senior Brother Yu Ze could wake up. Even if she could just call him "Yu Yan", that was what she wanted to see.

Now, she can't say that the poisonous insect she fed to Mu Xuan was wasted.

Fortunately, Shi Zhou always knew how to have fun. During the days he was trapped, he would just water the plants and loosen the soil in the yard whenever he had nothing to do. He did whatever he could to make himself comfortable. Except for not being able to go out, he lived a very comfortable life.

Three days after the old emperor left, Shi Zhou was curious whether the old emperor had gone to see the ghost doctor, and he was even more curious about what the scene was like after the old emperor met the ghost doctor.

She was waiting, waiting for the old emperor or the ghost doctor to come and let her know the final result.
