Chapter 41 The Regent Prince is missing

The next day,

the weather cleared up and the sun shone brightly.

Xie Anci woke up with his head covered. Not only did he have a headache, his throat also hurt badly, and his body also hurt.

"Water..." Xie Anci called out weakly.

Gu Lingyu heard the noise and quickly stood up, "How are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

"Water..." Xie Anci said with difficulty in his hoarse voice.

Gu Lingyu turned around and poured him a cup of hot water, helped him stand up and handed it to him.

The hot water instantly warmed his body through his limbs and bones, and Xie Anci felt a little better, and then he looked around where he lived.

"Where is this place?" He only remembered that he was next to a dilapidated temple before he fainted. This place was clean and tidy, and it didn't look like a dilapidated temple.

"A doctor's house in a village." Gu Lingyu said truthfully.

"What's wrong with me?" Xie Anci pinched his throat. Did he catch a cold again?

He seemed to have been in poor health recently. He rubbed his painful forehead and struggled to get up.

"Hey, what are you doing? Lie down and rest first." Gu Lingyu quickly held him down.

"Where are they?"

Gu Lingyu knew that Xie Anci was talking about the people they brought with them, "They are all settled in the temple, and they were not allowed to follow."

"I'm fine, get up and keep going." Xie Anci was about to get up, and Gu Lingyu pushed him down on the bed.

"Have a good rest, there's no rush to go to South City."

Xie Anci smiled weakly, "Didn't you say we should go quickly? If we get to South City and it's flooded, wouldn't that delay the time?"

"You..." Gu Lingyu knew that Xie Anci was teasing him, but he knew he was in the wrong and didn't argue back.

"Okay, it's my fault, you should have a good rest before you go, otherwise I'm afraid you'll die on the way." Gu Lingyu's words were always not very pleasant.

"Ahem... this is what you hope for, right?" Xie Anci smiled bitterly, they wished he would die on the way.

"How is that possible? Who do you think I am? Stop imagining, I'll call a doctor to see you." Gu Lingyu said and walked out.

Xie Anci glanced at the bed on the floor, did he and Gu Lingyu sleep in the same room last night?

Xie Anci frowned, his long and curly eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a shadow under his eyes.

After a while, Gu Lingyu came in with a young man. The young man was wearing a green gown, thin, elegant, and with a faint smell of medicine.

The man was startled for a moment when he saw Xie Anci. Yesterday he only saw Xie Anci in a coma, and it was night and he couldn't see clearly.

It was even more amazing to see him today. Xie Anci was wearing a white underwear, and the clothes were open to his chest. Thin muscles were attached to his chest. His skin was as smooth and tight as white jade, and his collarbone was faintly visible.

A pair of phoenix eyes on his white jade-like face were slightly raised, and the tear mole under his eyes added a bit of fragile beauty to him.

The man's gaze made Xie Anci frown slightly, and he quickly closed his collar.

The man knew he had lost his composure, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, you are so beautiful, I couldn't help but be infatuated with you." Xie Anci

couldn't blame the man for being so straightforward.

Gu Lingyu was unhappy, "What's the use of being beautiful? You are just a scorpion beauty."

"Ah?" Doctor Chen was shocked and didn't quite believe what Gu Lingyu said.

Xie Anci's face turned pale, and he looked even weaker.

"How do you feel? Is there anything wrong?" Doctor Chen thought that his gaze was too straightforward and made Gu Lingyu unhappy, so he didn't continue the topic just now.

"Ahem... my whole body hurts, and my throat hurts too." Xie Anci said while pressing his throat.

"I was injured and caught a cold. Keep applying the ointment, keep taking the medicine, and rest more." Doctor Chen felt Xie Anci's pulse, "It's OK, you'll be fine after a few more days of taking the medicine."

"I'll go make the medicine." Doctor Chen said and walked out.

Xie Anci's face turned bad when he heard Doctor Chen mention the ointment, and he asked in a cold voice, "Did you apply the ointment to me yesterday?"

"No, of course it was Doctor Chen who applied it to you. I hate touching you." Gu Lingyu turned his face away and didn't dare to look at him.

"What tricks did you use to make Jinchen do that with you? You clearly know that he doesn't like you." Gu Lingyu frowned, he felt that Xie Anci must have played tricks.

"It has nothing to do with you." Xie Anci didn't want to discuss this matter with Gu Lingyu, he covered himself with the quilt and lay down with his back to him.

Gu Lingyu: "..."

He didn't want to know either.

"I'll go see where our people are and bring them back, don't run around here." Gu Lingyu saw that Xie Anci had woken up, and decided to bring the team over first.

"Yeah." Xie Anci said in a muffled voice.

After Gu Lingyu left, Xie Anci just felt groggy, and when he was about to fall asleep, Doctor Chen walked in with medicine.

"Sir, it's time to take the medicine." Doctor Chen said softly.

Xie Anci sat up, took the medicine bowl, frowned as he looked at the bitter medicine in the bowl, and hesitated to swallow it.

"What's wrong, sir?" Doctor Chen looked puzzled.

"Bitter." Xie Anci's brows wrinkled even tighter.

A beautiful face

full of bitterness. Doctor Chen smiled, thinking that this man was indeed a nobleman, so beautiful that even such a small problem looked cute: "I have some preserved honey here, sir, have some."

Xie Anci took the preserved honey and held it in his mouth, and suddenly poured all the medicine down. The bitter taste spread in his mouth, and Xie Anci ate a few preserved honeys in a row before he recovered.

"Slow down, leave these here for you. This medicine will make you want to sleep, so take a rest." Doctor Chen smiled gently, and there seemed to be an apology in his smile.

Xie Anci didn't see it clearly, and the scene in front of him gradually became unreal.

"Thank you." Xie Anci mumbled before going to bed, trying to stay awake.

"You are too polite, young master. You need to take a good rest so that you can get better quickly." Doctor Chen's voice gradually became ethereal and gradually disappeared from Xie Anci's consciousness.

"Young master, I'm sorry." Doctor Chen said, closing the doors and windows and walked out.

Xie You had been squatting not far away, and when he saw that Gu Lingyu and the doctor were not there, he jumped onto the roof to check on Xie Anci.

However, when he lifted the tiles on the roof and looked inside, there was no one there!

Oh no!

Xie You felt that this doctor was unusual, and wanted to catch him and interrogate him.

However, Xie You searched the entire yard but could not find the doctor, nor did he find Xie Anci.

The two men seemed to have evaporated into thin air, disappearing without a trace.

"Doctor Chen! Doctor Chen! We are here to see a doctor." A man and a woman shouted at the door.

Xie You walked forward with a sullen face, "Doctor Chen is not here, where does he usually go?"

"Ah? Not here, maybe he went to collect herbs, there are herbs he grows on the back hill." The old man looked disappointed, and he didn't look like he knew anything, and he took his wife back.

Xie You's intuition told others that he was not there, but he still wanted to confirm it.
