Chapter 196 Crazy

No one expected that Tang Yuli would actually bite Changning, and there was no time to react at all.

Changning was bitten hard and screamed in pain.

He shook off Tang Yuli and lifted up his sleeves, revealing two clear rows of teeth marks, both bleeding.

If it wasn't spring and he hadn't changed into thin clothes yet, this bite would have probably bitten off a piece of Changning's flesh.

"Lili, are you crazy?" Changning covered his bitten arm with a handkerchief and shouted angrily with his eyes wide open.

Tang Yuli shuddered with fear and quickly shrank behind Su Rui, her whole body curled up like a frightened animal. Her eyes were filled with fear and vigilance as she stared at Changning and everyone else, as if these people were bad people who would hurt her.

But this scene stunned everyone.

Including those who followed in later.

Originally, I heard Changning's scolding from inside and thought that Tang Yuli had been found. Since Changning could still be blamed, it probably meant that nothing serious had happened.

As a result, I saw this scene as soon as I came in.

That Miss Tang Er seems... seems different.

Changning also noticed it, and all his anger disappeared immediately. He took a step forward nervously and worriedly.

As soon as she approached, Tang Yuli immediately retreated as if facing a flood or a beast.

"Lili, what's wrong with you? It's me, I'm your sister."

Changning tried to wake up Tang Yuli, but Tang Yuli just stared at her in fear, holding Su Rui's arms tightly with both hands.

"What did you do?" Chang Ning turned to ask Su Rui.

"I didn't do anything. When Miss Tang Er ran over, you were nearby and could have seen her at a glance." Su Rui spread out her hands.

Changning did see it, but how could Liuli become like this?

Su Rui also wanted to ask.

But looking at Tang Yuli's appearance, he was not conscious at all and hadn't said a word until now.

"Second Miss Tang? Look at me, do you recognize me?"

Tang Yuli seemed not to hear. He just lowered his head and leaned on Su Rui's arm, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Obviously no conversation is possible.

Something must have happened to turn her into this state. Su Rui could only gently stroke her back and instructed, "Search, don't miss any clues."

Su Rui gave the order, and Changning also realized that he had to investigate thoroughly.

The guards had also arrived at this moment and quickly searched the entire compound inside and out.

But, nothing was found.

Only the room where Tang Yuli might have stayed was found, but there was no trace of anyone else in it except Tang Yuli.

There was no one else in the entire compound.

It seemed like Tang Yuli came here alone, and then... went crazy.

"Why do people go crazy for no reason?"

"Did she run into something? Didn't the maidservant next to Miss Tang Er also say that she fainted for no apparent reason when she came over? Is that right..."

"It's broad daylight, how could there be such evil spirits? It's Miss Tang herself who has a problem. I ran into her a few days ago. She was absent-minded and dazed. She didn't look normal."

"It was the same today. I was talking to her earlier, but she seemed not to hear me. It took her a long time to reply, as if she had lost her soul."

You and I were talking at the same time, but the discussion was fruitless.

This noisy environment seemed to make Tang Yuli particularly nervous. She stuck close to Su Rui. As long as Su Rui moved slightly, she would follow immediately, as if Su Rui was the only one she felt safe with.

Su Rui held her hand tightly. Tang Yuli was now completely speechless. She could only make sure she was safe enough and relaxed. Maybe she would feel better.

After exchanging glances with Changning, Changning immediately waved his hand and said, "Drive everyone out."

Before anyone could follow Changning's orders, someone outside came in.

It was Prince Long and the Second Prince who arrived.

Seeing Tang Yuli cowering beside Su Rui, Prince Long frowned and asked Changning, "What's going on?"

Changning briefly explained the matter, and Prince Long's brows furrowed even more.

"Maybe he was frightened. Let's let the imperial physician take a look first." The second prince suggested.

Prince Long nodded, and the imperial physician was brought in soon.

Seeing the imperial physician approaching, Tang Yuli was extremely resistant and kept moving behind Su Rui, with tears welling up in his eyes again.

Knowing that Tang Yuli was afraid, Su Rui didn't know how to take her pulse, and wasn't sure if she could understand, she could only try to coax her: "Don't be afraid, the imperial physician is here to take your pulse and diagnose your illness. He won't hurt you."

Tang Yuli still refused.

"Lili, let the imperial physician take a look. Don't be willful." Changning shouted anxiously, and Tang Yuli shrank back even more.

Su Rui raised her hand to stop Chang Ning from coming over, and said in a gentler tone: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I will protect you, no one will hurt you, just reach out your hand, it will be fine in a moment, okay?"

Tang Yuli looked up at Su Rui, like an ignorant child. After a moment of consideration, he slowly extended his hand.

The imperial physician also knew that patients in such situations were extremely sensitive, so he took Tang Yuli's pulse very carefully. When Tang Yuli began to feel uncomfortable, he immediately let go of his hand and stepped back a few steps to prevent Tang Yuli from feeling any danger.

"What disease did my niece have?" Prince Long asked nervously.

The imperial physician hesitated, glancing at the Second Prince, then at Prince Long, before finally saying, "The Second Young Lady has been depressed for a long time, her mind strained. Recently, she's been fatigued and overthinking, so she's likely often lost in thought. Over time, her mind has become fractured."

It was said in a subtle and vague way, but anyone could tell that it was just two words after saying so much.

Crazy!

Tang Yuli, crazy.

"How could this be? Lili was fine at the banquet just now!" Changning couldn't believe that his sister, who was just talking to him, had gone crazy in the blink of an eye.

"Mental illness accumulates over time and can erupt suddenly. Even if a person appears normal one moment, symptoms may flare up suddenly the next." The imperial physician explained everything.

Tang Yuli had been suffering from a mental illness for a long time, and many people had seen it. After separating from the maid today, he might have suddenly fallen ill when he walked here, which led to that scream.

As for Liuli's claim that she fainted, no one could prove it. Perhaps she discovered that Tang Yuli was crazy and was afraid of being punished, so she fabricated the story of her coma to escape.

But now, that's not the point.

The point is, Tang Yuli is crazy.

The Second Prince and Tang Yuli were about to get engaged, and now if he went crazy at this time, things would be difficult to handle.

After all, it is not certain whether this madness can be cured or not. Even if it can be cured, who knows if it will recur next time. Can the royal family marry a madman?

If he doesn't marry, then the relationship between the Second Prince and Prince Long...

"Can Miss Tang's illness be cured?" the second prince asked the imperial physician.

The imperial physician dared not guarantee anything, and could only vaguely say, "Psychological distress is not a disease, so medicine is unlikely to be effective. One needs to rest and relax, cater to one's own needs, or have family members accompany one to alleviate the pain. Perhaps recovery will be possible."

The Second Prince looked at Tang Yuli with a look of pity and pain. After a pause, he made a decision and said, "Since I have already exchanged engagement letters with Second Miss Tang and our horoscopes have been matched, there is absolutely no reason for me to abandon her due to illness. Prince Long, regardless of whether Second Miss recovers or not, my marriage to her remains unchanged."
