Chapter 263: Miss Ruyan likes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right?
Seeing her coming over, Xiao Yunshuo said without any nonsense, "There is someone who needs your help to diagnose and treat him."
Chen Fenghe's heart trembled, and she lowered her voice and asked, "Is it the assassin from tonight?"
Xiao Yunshuo nodded and said, "Yes. Yuan Xu will take you there. I can't show up."
Chen Fenghe didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, and left the inn with Yuan Xu who was waiting outside. They walked along the dark alley for a while before arriving at a shop selling lamp oil on the street.
The owner of the shop was an old man with gray hair. He removed a door panel and after seeing Yuan Xu, he let them in, went into the backyard, opened a secret passage, and took the two of them in.
After walking for a while, they arrived at a more spacious place, where a person was lying on a simple bed.
When Shen Fenghe walked in and took a look, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The person lying there was actually the courtesan Ruyan whom he had seen in the second prince's room before.
Ruyan saw Yuan Xu, covered her shoulder with one hand, and struggled to sit up: "Brother Yuan..."
Yuan Xu quickly waved his hands and said, "You're injured. Don't move. I've brought a doctor over."
Ruyan's face showed a look of despair. She said, "Ruyan is useless. She failed to avenge His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Brother Yuan, Ruyan refuses to accept treatment. Please let me die. After I die, I can be reunited with my brother and His Royal Highness..."
Chen Fenghe looked at Ruyan's expression and words, and subconsciously glanced at Yuan Xu.
It seems that this Miss Ruyan pretended to be a courtesan to approach the Second Prince, and then suddenly attempted to assassinate him, but failed and was injured, and was rescued here by Yuan Xu?
However, it was clearly the Fifth Prince who ‘killed’ the Crown Prince, so why would Ruyan come to assassinate the Second Prince?
Also, she didn't seem to know that the prince was still alive?
Yuan Xu seemed to have guessed what Chen Fenghe was thinking and shook his head slightly.
The old man suddenly spoke up, "Ruyan, Master Yuan risked his life to rescue you. If you still want to commit suicide, how can you be worthy of Master Yuan? Even more so, you will be sorry for your deceased brother and the Crown Prince!"
Ruyan couldn't help showing a look of shame on her face after hearing what the old man said, but her grief did not lessen.
Chen Fenghe's heart moved. This Miss Ruyan was willing to seemingly assassinate the Second Prince to avenge the Crown Prince. Could it be that she was against the Crown Prince...
She didn't think about it any further.
Since she has already planned to divorce the prince, whether other women like the prince or not seems to have nothing to do with her.
But even though her mind told her to think this way, she still inexplicably felt...blocked in her heart.
Chen Fenghe shook his head, shook off these inexplicable emotions, and walked towards Ruyan.
Ruyan took two steps back, clutching her wound, and quickly knelt on the bed, saying, "Brother Yuan, Father, although Ruyan pretended to be a courtesan in a brothel, her body is still innocent. Ruyan knows that she has failed Master Yuan in saving her life, but... Ruyan's injuries are still there... Ruyan just wants to die with a clear conscience. I beg Master Yuan and Father to grant my wish!"
In order to avoid being seen, Chen Fenghe wore a black cloak. She was tall, and there were only a handful of female doctors. Therefore, Ruyan mistook her for a male doctor.
Yuan Xu explained: "Miss Ruyan, actually..."
Chen Fenghe took off the hood of her cloak and said, "Miss Ruyan, don't panic. Let me check your wound for you."
Ruyan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked up at Chen Fenghe.
She didn't expect that the doctor who came would be a female doctor, and... a woman so beautiful that she even felt ashamed of herself!
Yuan Xu said, "Miss Ruyan, this is Madam Shen, a skilled doctor. She's one of us, and she'll definitely be able to cure you. You must not give up on yourself. Madam Shen, I'll leave Ruyan in your care. Dad and I will be waiting outside."
Chen Fenghe nodded at him.
After the two of them left, Chen Fenghe said, "Miss Ruyan, please take off your clothes."
Ruyan bit her lip and struggled for a moment, but still gently took off her clothes.
She was injured in the chest, with a black dart stuck in it. Because of the pressure of the dart, not much blood seeped out from around the wound, but the location was extremely dangerous.
Chen Fenghe frowned slightly, and immediately took out gauze from the bag she brought with her, and said softly: "It may be a little painful, just bear with it."
Ruyan nodded palely.
Chen Fenghe held the handle of the dart in his hand, and just by touching it, Ruyan's body trembled slightly in pain, like a flower destroyed by rain, which made me feel pity.
Chen Fenghe suddenly asked, "Miss Ruyan likes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right?"
Ruyan couldn't help but shudder when she heard Chen Fenghe's question. She stared at Chen Fenghe with wide eyes, and then stammered, "I... I... How can I be worthy... Ah... Um!"
The last few words were noticeably weaker, as if she was feeling inferior to herself. However, before she could finish her words, she suddenly cried out in pain.
However, Chen Fenghe took advantage of her distraction to pull out the black dart and quickly pressed her wound with gauze.
