With her father and brother banished, and her engagement to the marquisate broken, everyone eagerly awaited to see Xiao Jiuyue become a laughingstock.
Facing her frail grandmother, her beauti...
Chapter 367 Is it worth it?
"Don't tell her." Jun Lie's hoarse voice was filled with warning and determination.
"Don't worry, the young lady doesn't know yet." Hua Qing saw what he was thinking and took the initiative to speak. She looked at Jun Lie and asked, "Is it worth it?" The young lady had no idea that Jun Lie had paid so much for her!
What's more, she saw that the eldest lady had no romantic feelings for Jun Lie. If they were not together, Jun Lie, who used the reincarnation reversal technique, would be in danger of his life!
Jun Lie pursed his lips into a straight line as he looked at Xiao Jiuyue's back. His eyes seemed to be filled with vast stars, as if he had returned to that cold snowy night when the little girl gave him all her food and held his hand to breathe on her.
"How do you manage to get through the first day of every month?" Hua Qing didn't wait for his answer and asked directly, "The medicine my uncle prescribed only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. It can only alleviate the pain. If you want a permanent cure, you can only marry the young lady!"
After the figure disappeared, his eyes dimmed: "Your uncle's medicine is very effective."
Jun Lie lowered his eyes. He just wanted her to come back, safe and happy.
"Third Prince, you are the most infatuated person I have ever met." Hua Qing applauded and praised. If it were her, she would pay the price of her life for the person she loved, and she would definitely not remain unknown. If she paid five points, she would have to be told that she paid seven points!
How could someone be like Jun Lie, who gives ten points but doesn't tell the other party a single cent?
"Forget it. For the sake of the young lady, I'll prescribe a prescription that will definitely delay your illness. As long as you don't get stimulated, you won't get sick for three years!"
Hua Qing said that she had really put in a lot of effort to help the eldest lady find a partner!
"How do we match?" Jun Lie asked. He didn't want to die. He didn't want to become a murderer who didn't care about his relatives. The bloody taste in his mouth mixed with Xiao Jiuyue's sweet fragrance. He wanted to live longer.
"You'll know when the time comes." Hua Qing said vaguely.
Jun Lie narrowed his eyes slightly. The water in the pool constantly stimulated his body, making him extremely clear-headed: "I'm not worthy of it."
"Hey, Third Prince, are you out of your mind?" Hua Qing was thinking about how to prepare the prescription. When she heard Jun Lie's words, her eyes widened as big as copper bells, and she looked at Jun Lie as if he was a fool.
Hua Qing's incredible look seemed to be saying: I'm helping you, why are you refusing?
"Your formula will harm Jiuyue, right?" Jun Lie's words were a statement. If it was an ordinary prescription, Hua Qing would not need to be ambiguous at all.
"How did you know?" Hua Qing was shocked. She tried to think about what she said, but it didn't seem to be related to the young lady. She sat down on the grass next to her and said, "Actually, it won't do any harm to the young lady. All we need is the blood from her hair and fingertips."
"Are you sure?" Jun Lie looked at Hua Qing with suspicion and asked, "Why didn't Hua Feiyang ever tell me there was such a method?"
"Because the Hua Clan's secret arts are passed down to daughters, not sons!" Hua Qing answered confidently, "It's bad enough that my uncle secretly learned the secret arts, but he actually dared to use them. It's God's blessing that Miss didn't get fooled by you!"
Hua Qing clasped his hands together, bowed to the heavens, and said, "Fortunately, my uncle-shi is extremely talented. Otherwise, I'm afraid even nine lives wouldn't be enough to repay you!"
"The aftereffects of the secret technique actually do have a solution, but..." Hua Qing looked at Jun Lie with a puzzled look, "You are unwilling to force the young lady, so the optimal solution is gone. Therefore, there is still a way to remedy it."
"Just the blood from your fingertips?" Jun Lie stared at Hua Qing, as if doubting her.
"Yes, if it was my uncle, I'm afraid even the blood from my heart wouldn't be able to handle it, but I can use the blood from my fingertips, which is connected to my heart." Hua Qing straightened his back proudly and said, "I am the most talented among the Hua clan!"
"No, Jiuyue, she will be suspicious." Jun Lie thought about it, and his hand fell on the floating water. Jiuyue was very smart and could notice the slightest mistake.
"You..." Hua Qing shook his head helplessly and sighed deeply.
Guo Yang, who had just finished capturing someone and was walking over, heard this and said anxiously, "Master, even back in Shengjing, Master Hua's medicine isn't very effective. If the Second Prince gets desperate and does something desperate, you'll be in great danger!"
Whether it was the iron mine or the evidence, Guo Yang knew very well that they either didn't start, or they would directly overthrow the second prince!
The danger was too great. Guo Yang advised, "Hair is easy to take, but fingertip blood can be taken by asking Hua Qing to find a reason. Master, think about it. If something happens to you, how will you protect Miss Xiao?"
"The rehabilitation of the Xiao family still depends on you, Master!" Guo Yang was really worried about his master. His master's strange illness was getting worse and worse. Every time he got sick, he would be weak for a long time. This time, he was injured and poisoned and got sick at the same time. Even someone with an iron body couldn't stand it!
Jun Lie raised his eyes and looked at Hua Qing.
Hua Qing patted his chest and assured: "I can guarantee that the young lady will not doubt it."
After she finished speaking, Hua Qing stood up and ran towards the cave. It was too tiring to talk to the Third Prince. She didn't want to see the Third Prince die. What would happen to the eldest lady then?
"Jinwu, how is the young lady?" Hua Qing walked to the entrance of the cave and saw Jinwu carrying firewood.
"The fire is lit. In this weather, the eldest lady has just recovered from her illness. I'm afraid..." Jin Wu's eyes were filled with worry. When it came to going out, their father warned them that their brothers could be in trouble, but the eldest lady must not be in any harm!
What if the young lady gets sick with a high fever again?
"Miss, Donggui, I'm coming in." Hua Qing shouted, and when she entered the cave, she saw that Xiao Jiuyue had changed into clean clothes. The coarse linen clothes on the young lady also had a simple beauty.
Dong Guizhen wiped Xiao Jiuyue's wet hair. Xiao Jiuyue warmed his hands by the fire and asked, "Hua Qing, how is the Third Prince? Has he not had another attack?"
"No, but it will take a while. I need to soak it in water." Hua Qing said, walked over to Xiao Jiuyue and sat down. She half-seriously talked about Jun Lie's strange illness and said, "Miss, can I take some blood from your fingertip? You are the destined match for His Majesty the Third Prince. With your fingertip blood, perhaps it can be cured!"
Xiao Jiuyue looked at Hua Qing in surprise and said, "Blood from your fingertips? A destined marriage? Hua Qing, I know you're knowledgeable about numerology, but this doesn't sound plausible!"
"Let's try everything. A little blood from your fingertip might actually be useful." Hua Qing tilted her head and asked, "Didn't the eldest lady say that the Third Prince is a partner? Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of this method!"
Hua Qing acted like she was helping him. Xiao Jiuyue pondered for a moment before asking, "Besides the fingertip blood, what else do you need? If this doesn't work, will it have a negative effect? Will it make the Third Prince's illness worse?"
