I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 224 I can’t always be the only one being contradicted, right?

"This……"

Hearing these words, Guo Zhen, who was leaning against a pillar and gasping for breath, had a look of surprise in his eyes.

He felt that what Liu Ju said was really substandard...

Indeed, the crown prince is also a king, and what he will follow in the future is the way of loneliness and the art of controlling people.

But this does not mean that the way to be alone does not need to win people's hearts with kindness, and the art of controlling people does not need to use benevolence and righteousness to cover up the purpose.

On the contrary, the colder and more cruel the kingly way is, the more it needs to be embellished with grace and benevolence in order to make the subjects wholeheartedly offer everything.

Therefore, in Guo Zhen's view, Liu Ju had already decided to protect Yi Shuo at all costs.

Even if there is something in your heart, you shouldn't say it so coldly, and you shouldn't show your purpose so clearly. This will turn the kindness that was originally full of human warmth into a cold cooperation and transaction...

Originally, Yi Shuo might have thought of herself as the Crown Prince's person, but now she suddenly realized that she was just the Crown Prince's tool.

I wonder what you would think?
"..."

There was indeed a hint of obvious disappointment in Yishuo's beautiful eyes.

Her heart seemed to suddenly become empty. She could faintly hear the echo of her heartbeat, and that echo made her heart feel aching.

The pulling wasn't too severe and it didn't hurt, but I just felt a little inexplicably stuffy.

The last time this feeling occurred.

It was when he suddenly learned of his younger brother Yi Zong's death.

In fact, although she and Yi Zong are siblings who depend on each other, their relationship is not good.

Especially after Yi Zong later became a cruel official and learned that Yi Shuo had refused to recommend him in front of the Queen Mother on the grounds of "improper behavior", the two had a big quarrel and almost severed their relationship as siblings. They never saw each other again until Yi Zong was executed.

At that time, Yishuo didn't know what was wrong with her. She had lost her last relative in the world and hadn't even seen him for the last time, but she didn't feel the unbearable heartache.

She just calmly took care of Yi Zong's funeral and finally stood in front of Yi Zong's grave to pay her respects.

She suddenly realized that she had no relatives in this world anymore. She suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart, and her chest felt stuffy and she couldn't breathe.

As far as she could remember, the suffocating feeling at that time seemed to be much more severe than it is now, and she had to struggle to stand.

But it had been several years since the incident, and she couldn't fully recall how she felt at the time. She only knew that the feeling now was very similar to that time, and it didn't seem to matter whether she could still stand...

"Your subordinate...understood."

Thinking of this, Yishuo slowly lowered his head, hiding all his expressions, but his voice became much hoarser, so low that it sounded like a whisper, or like the whimpering of the autumn wind blowing through the hall.

"besides."

Liu Ju was very satisfied with Yi Shuo's current reaction, because this was exactly the purpose of his words. This should temporarily put an end to Yi Shuo's determination to die.

However, while he was trying to put an end to his desire to die, he also did not want Yi Shuo to become depressed, so he had to find something to distract her, so he continued:

"Since you have already started dissecting corpses, you have also gained some insight into surgical treatment."

"Now that things have come to this, I will point out a few more research directions that are essential for surgical treatment."

"The first direction is, of course, anatomy."

"During the dissection process, you must find out the location of every blood vessel, every organ, and every meridian, separate them one by one, and draw the most detailed human structure. Only in this way can you ensure that the cut is accurate when performing the operation, and avoid saving a life turning into killing;"

"The second direction is anesthesia."

"The human body has its own protection mechanism, and pain is one of them. It will trigger the linkage of various organs. If the patient cannot be put into a stable coma during the operation and the treatment is completed without knowing it, it is no different from torture. The patient will die from the pain. Therefore, anesthesia is essential;"

“The third direction is to ward off evil spirits (sterility).”

"Evil spirits are everywhere. They are most likely to invade the body during surgery. Therefore, you must pay attention to environmental and sanitation issues during surgery. Using fire to roast or using the alcohol I taught you to extract can drive away evil spirits to a certain extent, but you still cannot be careless;"

“The fourth direction is nursing.”

“Wound care after surgery is equally important. You must have seen many cases of wounds developing abscesses, which is caused by poor care. If you don’t take precautions, even if the surgery is successful, the patient may still have an accident at this stage, so you must not take it lightly.”

"In short, as long as we focus on research in these four directions, it will be of immeasurable help to both surgical treatment and the treatment of other diseases, and will bring unimaginable progress."

Just heard the beginning.

Yi Shuo immediately raised her head again, staring at Liu Ju's mouth with burning eyes, listening attentively to every word that came out of his mouth:

"Anatomy, anesthesia, exorcism, nursing..."

Some of these directions she had explored before, but some she had never heard of before.

But for her, who had been immersed in medical skills for many years and had rich clinical experience, especially since she had dissected corpses, it was not difficult for her to understand the significance of the four directions pointed out by Liu Ju.

In addition, she also knew in her heart that some of the details Liu Chuanqi said had completely overturned the existing understanding of medical techniques and were even more unorthodox than hers.

So... is he right?

Yi Shuo couldn't be sure either.

But Liu Ju is a miraculous doctor who even saved her. Could he be wrong?
Besides, isn't this the meaning of research? Research is a process of trial and error, and seeking the right path. She will verify whether it is right or wrong, so why bother about it?

The important thing is that since the failed attempt to become Liu Ju's disciple in the imperial prison, this was the first time that Liu Ju formally talked to her about medical skills, and pointed out the direction of research for her in a concise manner. How was this different from teaching her as a master?
So, is this a blessing in disguise?

Thinking of this, Yi Shuo's chest tightness was relieved a lot. He immediately bent his knees, knelt on the ground and performed the master-disciple kneeling ceremony:
"Thank you for your teachings, Your Highness. I have memorized every word you just said. I will study harder and will not slack off in the future!"

"Don't worry, this kind of etiquette is not practiced in the Prince's Mansion."

Liu Ju immediately jumped away and walked quickly out of the living room filled with sour and smelly odors. He did not forget to tease Guo Zhen at the end.
"I can't stand it, Guo Zhen. If you recover, find some people to clean it up. Also, eat less leeks in the future. It tastes too bad when it enters your stomach and is vomited out."

"promise……"

Guo Zhen agreed with an embarrassed look on his face, but he was still confused in his heart.

To be honest, he really didn't understand what Liu Ju had just done.

However, seeing Yi Shuo's current state, he still vaguely sensed the pull hidden in that operation, and he gradually realized that this seemed to be a more powerful method than the way to control people...

If you don’t believe me, just look at this. The look in Yi Shuo’s eyes when he looked at Liu Ju’s back was a little different from before.

In other words, Guo Zhen did not know what "PUA" was, nor did he know the five-step emotional manipulation trap of PUA: curiosity - exploration - concern - destruction - emotional abuse.

If he knew, he might think that Liu Ju was carrying out the last two steps.

But Guo Zhen wasn't the only one who didn't know.

In later generations, although Liu Ju often saw the three letters "PUA" and knew what they meant, he had never studied them in depth and did not know what the so-called five-step trap of emotional manipulation was.

Therefore he says these words and does these things.

I just speak from my heart and think that I should say it and do it. That's all. I don't have any obscene thoughts...

……

Greenhouse Palace.

"How could this Yishuo... actually do such a cruel and bloody thing?"

After reading the memorial submitted by Jingzhao Yin Yang Chu, Liu Che's first reaction was disbelief.

He did not have much contact with Yi Shuo, and the time they talked the most was when Liu Ju was thrown into the imperial prison. It was also at that time that he learned that Liu Ju was also skilled in medicine and had cured his "old friend's" hemorrhoids with just a small suppository.

In his impression, Yi Shuo was just a quiet and steady female doctor.

Although she has a good appearance, she looks a little dull and always seems to be unromantic. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why she has remained unmarried for many years.

Therefore, it was difficult for Liu Che to imagine.

Yi Shuo, holding a knife, an axe and an iron saw, hacked at a dead body, cruelly cutting it into pieces of varying sizes. He then wiped the blood that had splashed on his face and grinned with a horrifying smile.

No matter how you think about it, Yishuo's appearance and temperament are totally incompatible with such a cruel and bloody thing.

"But she has already admitted it herself..."

"This rebellious son actually protected her. What on earth is going on?"

Liu Che was puzzled and his brows were once again twisted into knots.

"Wait!"

"This rebellious son had previously rejected the marriage I had chosen for him. I heard that later he even rejected the marriage chosen for him by Wei Zifu..."

"Could his behavior be related to this Yishuo?"

Liu Che had previously suspected that Liu Ju and Yi Shuo had an affair. After all, when he was pacifying the Nanyue Kingdom and conquering the Western Qiang, Yi Shuo had accompanied him as a personal physician, and it was said that the two of them rode in the same carriage on the way back and forth.

The journey was boring, and they were alone, like dry wood and raging fire. It would be abnormal if nothing happened...

Anyway, Liu Che put himself in Liu Ju's shoes and thought about it, and firmly believed that Liu Ju would not be able to endure it.

and so……

"Su Wen, send this memorial to the Pepper Palace and ask Wei Zifu to handle it."

Liu Che felt that he should do something, but he also thought it was not decent for him to wade into this muddy water, so he immediately called Su Wen over and pushed the problem to Wei Zifu.

Yishuo’s identity and background are not actually a big issue, and her age is not a big issue either.

Wei Zifu was born a singer, but didn’t she still become the queen?

Liu Che's mother, Wang Zhi, even gave birth to a child before entering the palace, but didn't she also become the queen?
The problem still lies in the destruction and insult of the corpse.

This matter is really against human ethics. Not to mention whether Liu Ju had an affair with Yi Shuo, even if he had nothing to do with her, just leaving her in Bowang Garden would be a hidden danger that could not be ignored.

"This rebellious son is both my son and Wei Zifu's son."

"I can't always be the only one being contradicted and disobeyed by him, right?"

"Wei Zifu, you should also come and feel it..."

"Rebellious son, didn't you say that people who can tell stories rule the world?"

"I just want to see what kind of story you can tell when you face Wei Zifu. I'm waiting to see."
