Tracy, the Grand Lord Barr, and the other nobles all frowned, their expressions grave.
"Say what you wish to say!" Prince Matthew said.
Hearing this, Tracy gathered her courage and spoke, "Godfather, Victor is from the Mei Country Medical Association. I just checked; his status is not ordinary. He is the personal physician to the Mei Country Royal Family. He has treated many members of the Mei Country Royal Family and has considerable connections. I'm worried that if we execute him, it will cause significant trouble!"
"Victor is the Mei Country Royal Family's personal physician?" Prince Matthew's brows furrowed.
This was not good news for Prince Matthew.
"Prince Matthew, it seems Victor is not easy to deal with! Why not just let him go!"
"Yes, release Victor, and there will be no trouble!"
"Victor is the personal physician to the Eagle Country Royal Family. If the Mei Country Royal Family comes looking for trouble, then things will become troublesome!"
... The nobles began to persuade him.
"A mere doctor dares to insult me and threaten me? I am a dignified Prince of the Eagle Country. If I let him go, it will not only be my own humiliation, but the entire Eagle Country will be disgraced!"
"I will absolutely not release Victor!" Prince Matthew said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the nobles felt helpless.
They could bend and stretch, but Prince Matthew, as a prince, could not do so. He represented more than just his own dignity. Furthermore, Prince Matthew had never bowed to anyone, let alone a mere doctor.
"Godfather, I do have a way. Not only can we punish Victor, but we won't lose face, nor will we offend the Mei Country Royal Family!" Tracy said.
"What way?" Prince Matthew asked.
"Godfather, you don't need to execute Victor. Just lock him up in the prison in the backyard for a few months. Let him suffer. After he yields and apologizes to Godfather, then release him!" Tracy suggested.
Prince Matthew nodded after hearing this. "This is a good idea. We'll do as you say, until Victor apologizes and admits his mistake!"
"Yes!" Tracy responded and then left the hall.
Prince Matthew had calmed down now, realizing that executing Victor was indeed unwise. Tracy's method could not only vent Prince Matthew's anger but also help him regain his dignity.
Meanwhile, in the backyard.
Jiang Yi was sitting in a chair in the courtyard, leisurely sipping tea. Seeing Prince Matthew's bodyguards bring in Charles and Victor and lock them into the prison, Jiang Yi's face remained as calm as still water, without the slightest ripple. This was because Jiang Yi knew very well that Victor, this Western doctor, could not cure Prince Matthew's illness. No matter how Charles fussed, the outcome would be the same.
The prison doors and windows faced the courtyard. Jiang Yi saw Charles, who was staring at him with murderous intent, through the window.
"Don't look at me like that. You brought this upon yourself!" Jiang Yi took a sip of tea and then continued smiling at Charles, "If you hadn't schemed to frame me and tried to kill me, you wouldn't have ended up like this!"
"Jiang Yi, don't get smug. Your fate will be no better than mine!" Charles sneered. "The evidence I found is enough to prove you colluded with the Eagle Country Royal Family. With my Godfather's personality, he will execute you too, he definitely won't let you live!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Charles asked. "Do you think Godfather won't kill you? My Godfather hates betrayal the most. He will definitely kill you!"
"I'm laughing at you for being an idiot. Even if Prince Matthew believes you, so what? Only I can cure Prince Matthew's illness. If he kills me, it's equivalent to killing himself!"
"Do you think Prince Matthew is that foolish?" Jiang Yi smiled faintly.
This left Charles speechless.
"Judging by your expression, Prince Matthew probably won't let you live. While you still have time, prepare your funeral arrangements!" Jiang Yi said.
"Jiang Yi, I won't let you off even as a ghost!" Charles roared at Jiang Yi. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this. My predicament is all your doing!"
Jiang Yi was utterly speechless at this! Were all people from the Eagle Country like this? He had never troubled Charles, yet Charles insisted on crossing him. In the end, not only did he fail to kill Jiang Yi, but he also doomed himself. It was clearly his own fault, yet he shifted the blame to others. The word "shameless" was insufficient to describe Charles. Jiang Yi didn't want to argue with such a person, so he ignored Charles.
In another prison cell, Victor was sizing up Jiang Yi. "You are the Jiang Yi who can cure Prince Matthew?"
"That's right, it's me!" Jiang Yi replied.
"I heard you are the number one divine physician in Huaxia Country, that there are no illnesses you cannot cure, and that the medicines you developed are also incredibly potent, known as divine medicines!"
"I also asked someone to buy some of the medicines you developed at a high price and studied them carefully. I found that they are indeed astonishingly effective, a world of difference compared to ordinary medicines!"
"I don't understand. For someone as capable as you, why would you choose to stay by Prince Matthew's side? Prince Matthew is unpredictable and kills as easily as he eats. He kills whoever he wants. Staying by his side, you will sooner or later be killed by Prince Matthew!" Victor asked, puzzled.
"I don't like living in fear every day either, but there's no other way. I have no choice!" Jiang Yi said. In reality, Jiang Yi's goal was merely to use Prince Matthew to develop his own influence, not because he was forced. Jiang Yi certainly wouldn't tell the truth to someone like Victor. After all, one must guard against others.
"Perhaps I can help you!" Victor continued. "Come with me to Mei Country. With your skills, I guarantee you can rise to prominence in Mei Country and have everything you desire. In Mei Country, you will have opportunities you never dreamed of!"
"I am the personal physician to the Mei Country Royal Family. Your medical skills are above mine. If you come to Mei Country with me, you have a great chance of becoming the chief physician to the Mei Country Royal Family. Then, you can open a pharmaceutical company in Mei Country and earn a fortune!"
"I cannot go to Mei Country. The Tiansheng Group I founded is in the Eagle Country. I have put so much effort into it; I cannot abandon everything and leave the Eagle Country. The Tiansheng Group is my life's work. If it were you, you wouldn't choose to give up what you have now." Jiang Yi said.
