The morning sun shone through the mottled leaves, illuminating the peacefulness of the Wu'an Prince's Palace. However, a tense atmosphere permeated the palace. This was because throughout the day, a series of famous doctors from the south were invited to the palace, all to treat Wu'an Prince Xiao Jinghan.
Luo Lingyue had hurriedly run to Xiao Jingyi's yard early in the morning, shouting, "Brother and sister-in-law! It's bad! Xiao Jinghan is dying of illness! Come and see him!"
Upon hearing this news, Xiao Jingyi couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He remembered what Jia Guang had said yesterday; it turned out to be true. So, he feigned panic and rushed with Liao to visit Xiao Jinghan.
When they walked into the room, they saw Xiao Jinghan lying on the bed, his face as pale as paper. He looked lifeless and swaying like a candle in the wind.
After taking the prince's pulse with a solemn expression, the court physician shook his head and sighed repeatedly, "Alas! Marshal, the prince... he has been indulging in pleasures and having no self-control. Now his body is extremely weak and there is no way to save him! I am truly powerless. Marshal, you can only prepare the prince's funeral!"
When Xiao Jingyi heard this, his face turned pale, filled with shock and panic. He quickly waved his hand and ordered, "Go! Immediately call all the doctors in Nanyi City! Quick!"
At this time, Luo Lingyue was sitting on the edge of the bed, tears streaming down her face, sobbing and talking to herself: "Oh! Why am I so miserable! Why would the prince be like this?" As she spoke, she stroked Xiao Jinghan's hand distressedly, as if to comfort him, and as if to regret her own bad fate.
At this time, the Wu'an Palace was already crowded with doctors who came to treat the patient, but their conclusions were basically the same as the previous palace doctor's, which made everyone feel even more depressed.
At this moment, Xiao Jingyi stared at Xiao Jinghan in a daze, as if unable to accept this cruel reality. Beside him, Luo Lingyue had already burst into tears, "There must be a way! Yes! I will take the prince to find that miracle doctor Xi Ruming! Only he can save the prince!" Her voice was filled with determination and resoluteness.
However, Xiao Jingyi frowned and said solemnly, "It is rumored that the miraculous doctor Xi Ruming once appeared at the border between Dazhao and Youli. But you want to take my younger brother on such a long journey. How could he possibly withstand it in his current physical condition?"
Hearing this, Luo Lingyue's lips began to tremble slightly, and tears blurred her eyes: "But... if I don't go find a miracle doctor, do I have no choice but to watch the prince like this?" There was a trace of despair in her eyes, and she seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi could only ask the court doctor to use strong medicine to keep Xiao Jinghan alive.
He turned to look at Luo Lingyue, his eyes dark, and said, "Since you insist on taking me to see the miraculous doctor Xi Ruming, then if... you have to explain it clearly to Emperor Wen!"
Luo Lingyue lowered her head, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "We will never let Big Brother down. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will take him to take a chance!"
Xiao Jingyi sighed and left with a heavy heart. He sneered in his heart, thinking that getting rid of Xiao Jinghan was so simple.
Xiao Jingyi immediately went to find Jia Guang and told him his concerns.
Jia Guang sneered after hearing this and consoled him, "Marshal, you're worrying too much. Even if a Daluo Immortal comes, Xiao Jinghan will still be dead!"
Xiao Jingyi frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Why? Could it be that even the miracle doctor Xi Ruming can't cure it?"
Jia Guang shook his head and said, "That's not the case. It's just that the miracle doctor Xi Ruming's whereabouts are always erratic, and they can't find him at all."
Xiao Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, but still said with some worry: "But what if they really find it?"
Jia Guang raised the corner of his mouth and said confidently, "Even if we find it, what's the use? Xiao Jinghan is already terminally ill, and even the best doctors can't save him. At most, they can only extend his life by a few months!"
Xiao Jingyi nodded, thinking that as long as he could guarantee Xiao Jinghan's death, there was nothing to worry about. However, he couldn't help but remind Jia Guang: "It's better to be careful and not take it lightly."
Jia Guang smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Marshal. I know what to do."
After seeing everyone leave, Luo Lingyue walked to the bed and sat down. Looking at Xiao Jinghan lying on the bed, she reached out and pinched his face: "Stop pretending. We will set off for the Youli border tomorrow."
Xiao Jinghan's face turned pale, and he said weakly, "My wife! I'm dying. I need a kiss, a hug, and a lift up high to get better!"
Luo Lingyue's mouth twitched, and she slapped Xiao Jinghan on the chest. Xiao Jinghan immediately held her hand, looking at her pitifully, as if she had been abandoned. She said heartbrokenly, "You want to murder your husband!"
Luo Lingyue frowned, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. How could Xiao Jinghan, who used to be such a brilliant, aloof and arrogant person, become such a shameless person now? It really made people angry and amused.
At night, all was silent, the moonlight streaming down like water. Luo Lingyue, clad in a white dress as white as snow, gracefully ascended to the highest roof of the palace. She found a sheltered corner, sat down, and leisurely took out the wine jug she carried with her. She tilted her head back and took a long swig.
At this moment, a dark figure appeared beside her silently like a ghost. Luo Lingyue seemed unaware and continued drinking. Without turning around, she whispered, "We're leaving Nanyi tomorrow. Do you want to come with us?"
Xueying was slightly startled when he heard that, then he snatched the wine jug from her hand, tilted his head back and took a big gulp, then asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Aren't you thinking about that Prince Xiao all the time? Now that you're sleeping in his bed, why do you look so melancholy and distraught?" After that, he raised the wine jug and poured it into his mouth.
Luo Lingyue slowly turned around and looked up at him, a sly glint in her eyes: "Humph, you dare to drink my wine? Aren't you afraid that I will poison you to death!"
Seeing that Xueying didn't answer, Luo Lingyue stood up and said, "Xueying! How come you acted like you saw everything that happened between Xiao Jinghan and me? I'm really curious, who are you to Xiao Jinghan?"
Xueying's heart tightened, but he remained indifferent on his face. He replied cautiously, "Who can I be to him? You're overthinking it. I'm just a paid employee."
Luo Lingyue sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, and continued to ask: "Oh? Really? Then why do you know him so well? Besides, isn't it easy for you, the Soul-seeking Sect, to get gold? The gold shop and the clothing store in Nanyi are all your people, and you actually say you are short of money? Don't treat me like a fool."
Xueying's face twitched slightly, and he secretly cursed this woman for suddenly becoming so difficult to deal with tonight. He tried to hide his panic and said calmly, "Humph, you know too much. It's not good for you."
Luo Lingyue raised an eyebrow, her eyes full of provocation, "What? Are you afraid that I will discover the secret between you two? Or... are you actually Xiao Jinghan's subordinate or confidant?"
