"How could you let a woman save you?" he exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air. "You're the Crown Prince! Do you know how this will reflect on your reputation? Your honor! Tarnished! Completely tarnished!"
Zhao Yan snapped, his patience snapping alongside. "You too! Shut it!"
The outburst only seemed to fuel the physician's fire. He squinted at Zhao Yan, his tone growing even more incredulous. "So you'll yell at an old man but let your wife take down your enemies for you? Oh, Your Highness, what a fine image of royalty you present!"
Zhao Yan pinched the bridge of his nose, his patience hanging by a thread, while Hua Jing stood off to the side, watching the scene unfold with an expression of pure delight. But this time, she wasn't laughing outright. No, she was in full actress mode.
