Zhu Su and Li Heng really had no idea about the wicked scheme their team members were planning. All they knew was, the medical center suddenly became a tumult. Xiong and Qing were busy playing and joking with herbs. Fa Ha, Rui, Han Zhong, and Liao Zhan were chattering and laughing loudly. Xue Mei was massaging Di Na while Lin was watching them. None of them was working, all turned lazy.
Li Heng exploded. "Oh, Heaven! Do you think this is a game center?! Get to work! You're wasting so much time!"
They kept silent, staring at Li Heng for a few seconds, but after that, they pulled their gaze away and returned to their sluggish activities.
"Y... you!... How dare you!..." Li Heng's anger almost reached his peak, he was ready to explode right at this moment. Seeing that his teacher's face reddened with great anger, Guo Songmi also shouted, "How dare you disobey Master's orders! You're going to pay for this!"
Nobody listened to Guo Songmi - now they even began to laugh aloud.
Li Heng growled. "If only this were the capital, you would have been severely punished!" No, it's also the same here! He thought furiously, thus went out of the room, ready to give a report to Zhu Su.
"Your Highness! The new members are going too far! How dare they go on strike and just joke around!" Li Heng burst out as he was coming into Zhu Su's room, while Zhu Su twitched in surprise with the senior physician's anger.
"Physician Li... Please calm down, you make me confused... What's going on with Team of Wellbeing?" Zhu Su tried to calm Li Heng's tense.
"Just now I caughg them joking at the medical center. None of them was working. And when I reprimanded, not only they weren't ashamed, they also laughed at me! They have crossed the line! Your Highness, you must take decisive action for this issue!"
Zhu Su soon gazed at him very seriously. "Now they are still in the medical center?"
"Exactly, Your Highness. You will reprimand them, right?"
"Indeed." Zhu Su thus walked quickly to the medical center. Li Heng accompanied him.
"What on earth are you doing?!" Zhu Su also got shocked as he found that the condition at the medical center was exactly the same as what Li Heng described. On the other hand, when they saw Zhu Su, their attitude changed one hundred eighty degrees. They immediately stopped their activities, and saluted in a respectful manner.
"Salute to the Prince!" They shouted.
"You haven't answered my question. Why don't you work but instead play around?"
Fa Ha, the most senior member, represented them and gave the answer. "May you forgive us, Your Highness, but there's a reason behind all of these." He pointed his finger at Li Heng. "Physician Li forces us to act this way!"
Already getting furious from the beginning, that accusation made Li Heng now even angrier. "You say I am the reason for your laziness?!?"
"Physician Li Heng is very authoritarian and tyrannical, arbitrarily belittling us as if we are lowly slaves. Even though we are villagers, even though what we are doing is the all-people-underestimate social work, after all, we are human beings, Your Highness."
"What do you mean by authoritarian and tyrannical?! I just tell you to work properly!"
"Are you acting as if you aren't such that person, Mr. Physician? Or are you really not aware that your behavior is insulting us?"
"Everything I do is exactly what I used to do in Kaifeng. And so far no one has accused me as you are doing right now!"
"Oh... so, do the people in Central Plain like to be underestimated?!" This time Han Zhong commented. "Then, Physician Li, we must state something. We are not the same as them. Your manner is unacceptable here!"
"What the heck! People in Central Plain know "Li" - Politeness! Unlike all of you barbarians!"
"You!... How dare you accuse us as barbarians!..."
Zhu Su bit his lips. He never thought the situation would actually be getting as such worsen. Even more, both sides did not show a willingness to succumb, instead, they had their tensions more and more rise up. And now, their quarrels had mentioned ethnicity issue. The problem turned more complicated.
"Your Highness! We ask for justice! We hope you take action on this physician for his impoliteness, then we will consider whether we'll still work again or not!"
