Imperial Physician Wang did not react with any great agitation to Xie Qiqi’s provocative words. Having lived a long life, he had seen many things, yet none had left as deep a mark on his heart as his recent imprisonment. He had been truly terrified by those in positions of power and influence.
Wang Zhi understood his older brother and could not bring himself to call him wrong, but he was filled with resentment. He looked at Xie Qiqi with anticipation and asked, "What if we refuse to accept it? Qiqi, does Moyuan have a plan? If he is willing to support us, I am prepared to risk everything—I will go back and reopen the pharmacy."
Wang Zhi had studied medicine his entire life with the hope of using his skills to help others and passing on what he had learned. Being confined in this remote mountain valley, unable to practice his art, he found it impossible to resign himself to his fate.
