Chapter 35 Throwing Herself into His Highness's Arms
Xiao Ji left the house, but he did not go through the front gate, so the gatekeeper did not know about it.
He has something important to do.
Si Bei and the witch doctor arrived.
The message said it would be within half a month, the last... three days.
It is indeed within half a month.
Xiao Ji and Si Nan were allowed to leave the mansion after disguising themselves. After making many turns, they finally arrived at a very secluded house.
Xiao Ji wore a mask on his face to conceal his true identity.
When he entered the door, Si Bei was already waiting with a short man. The man was quite old, with a rough temperament and eyes as sharp as a wolf.
But after looking at Xiao Ji, he quickly lowered his eyes in a gesture of submission.
After checking Xiao Ji's pulse, the witch doctor said, "Your Excellency is fine, but you are born childless. You can have sex, but you can't have children."
"And...I won't live past twenty-five."
The witch doctor spoke briefly and to the point, and in just a few words he made everything clear.
Si Nan and Si Bei, who knew the inside story, looked at each other, both with shock on their faces.
Amazing!
"Then how should we treat it?" Si Nan was impatient and asked impatiently.
"This is not natural, but the result of witchcraft." The witch doctor said: "Your mother died of dystocia during childbirth."
Xiao Ji's eyes suddenly became sharp, filled with murderous intent.
Even the witch doctor was startled and subconsciously took a half step back with a look of horror on his face.
"Please ask the witch doctor for advice."
Xiao Ji suppressed his anger and asked patiently.
The witch doctor calmed down a bit and said, "The witchcraft poison in your body has been there since you were in the womb. Someone must have injected the poison into your mother's body."
"Only one of the mother and the child can survive. Since the noble man is alive, the noble man's mother is probably in danger."
Xiao Ji clenched his hands so tightly that his fingers creaked.
Since he was a child, people have said that he was born to be lonely and that his mother was killed by him. Over time, this idea has become deeply rooted in his mind.
He has always felt very guilty and even resented himself.
Plus, he was destined to die young, and he had no attachment to this world. But now he knows... someone was plotting against his mother!
There was a flame of anger burning in Xiao Ji's heart.
Damn it!
Si Nan and Si Bei looked at each other, and subconsciously slowed down their breathing, not daring to say more.
After a long while, Si Nan finally couldn't help asking, "Witch doctor, is there a cure for the witchcraft poison in my master's body?"
this……
The witch doctor looked embarrassed.
"The poison of witchcraft was brought from the mother's womb and has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. I don't think ordinary doctors can detect the poison in your body."
"Wanting treatment... Impossible!"
After the witch doctor finished speaking, he felt that the eyes of the two black-clad guards in front of him seemed to want to kill him. His legs softened, but his back straightened up the next moment!
Can't even tell the truth?
The witch doctor swallowed hard, "No, but... I can try to extend your life."
Si Nan and Si Bei's expressions immediately softened, and they helped the witch doctor who had fallen to the ground up, "You should have said so earlier."
"Witch doctor, get up quickly. The ground is cold."
The two of them changed their expressions. The witch doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and was helped to stand up. Then Si Nan asked again: "How long can it extend your life?"
The witch doctor's legs softened again, and he slowly stretched out two fingers and made a "ten" gesture.
"Ten years?" Si Nan frowned, "A bit short..."
The witch doctor just wanted to sit on the ground.
ten years?
Kill him.
"No, it's not." The witch doctor's voice was low, but he still denied it firmly, "Ten months at most."
As soon as the witch doctor finished speaking, the house seemed to have suddenly entered winter and was extremely cold.
Si Nan and Si Bei's faces were full of frost, as if they wanted to kill someone.
The calmest person present was Xiao Ji, the person involved.
Gulp.
The witch doctor swallowed and asked in a low voice: "Then... do you still need to treat it?"
…
It was already late at night when Xiao Ji returned to the Prince's Mansion.
He seemed to be used to it and subconsciously went towards the main courtyard where Xie Yao was.
The lights in the main house were off and the entire main courtyard was very quiet.
Asleep?
Xiao Ji stopped, thought about what he had said after dinner, turned around and left the main courtyard.
The light in the study was still on.
Xiao Ji frowned immediately. Who was in the study? He stared at her and walked in quickly...
The study was very quiet, and he could only hear the even breathing coming from the soft couch.
He felt slightly relieved and looked over with some guesswork. It was indeed Xie Yao who was sleeping soundly on the couch in the study.
The candlelight couldn't penetrate the screen, so the light was particularly dim, but even in this situation, her skin was still so white that it seemed to be glowing.
Xiao Ji's originally heavy mood suddenly relaxed a lot.
He himself didn't notice that the corners of his lips were slightly upturned and he was in a very good mood.
Xiao Ji walked step by step to the soft couch, looked at Xie Yao's sleeping face, and said after a long time: "I'm sorry."
The next day.
Xie Yao woke up in a soft and comfortable bed.
She sat up and was stunned for a moment, "Didn't I go to the study yesterday?"
Zhu Qing covered her lips and chuckled, "You fell asleep yesterday, and His Highness personally carried you back home at night." She lowered her voice slightly, "His Highness just left."
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not mention that Xiao Ji was not in the study yesterday.
After breakfast, she went straight to the study.
"Your Highness."
Xie Yao entered the study alone, holding the medical book, and immediately saw Xiao Ji reading.
As soon as she saw it, she keenly realized that something was wrong.
Your Highness... seems to have changed a little.
Even the book he was reading was different from before. Before Xie Yao could take a closer look, Xiao Ji had already raised his eyes and said in a cold and distant tone, "Crown Princess."
Why does His Highness seem to be even colder towards her?
Xie Yao wasn't sure what was wrong with Xiao Ji, whether he was angry because of her last test, so she didn't fall down on purpose like she did last time.
I was just thinking about something, so I didn’t pay attention when I walked. I tripped over the corner of the bookshelf, lost my balance, and fell forward.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Ji was very quick and immediately stood up to help Xie Yao.
But Xie Yao is even faster!
After all, she had studied with the prince and Lin Xia for a period of time, and her basic skills were taught by the prince himself, so they were extremely solid.
At this moment, he staggered forward two steps and barely stopped.
However, Xiao Ji, who suddenly dropped his book and rushed over to save people, seemed a little abrupt at this moment. He was about to put down his outstretched hand.
Then he saw Xie Yao, who had already stopped, falling steadily and accurately into his arms.
"Oh, Your Highness, save me!"
Xiao Ji subconsciously hugged her, and his eyes were full of helplessness when he looked at her. He helped her to stand firmly and was about to let go.
Xie Yao simply reached out, hooked her hands around his neck, tilted her head slightly, and pressed her whole body against him.
Her voice was soft and her eyes were filled with grievance. "Your Highness, you are obviously worried about me, why do you keep rejecting me?"
"Did I do something wrong?"
