Ling Yuan curled her lips and said, "I have been prepared since I married you. Don't worry, I know what you mean. I have it in mind."

Wei Jie's obvious reminder seemed to indicate that something big was going to happen. In fact, when she thought about it, Su Guang was not worth the trouble to come to the State of Yan. She didn't believe that he would stay quietly for the next few days.

This man seemed to have done nothing, but in fact, he had already planned everything out, right?

"What do you think Yu Hen wants to do with Gong Zi Yan? Why is he putting so much effort into it?"

Wei Jie lay back comfortably, his laughter making people shudder, not knowing what it meant.

"Just wait and see." He looked like he knew something, but no matter how Ling Yuan tried to ask him indirectly, he just wouldn't answer.

Two days later, Wei Jie received a letter from the capital. After reading it, his expression suddenly changed. Ling Yuan glanced at him with a questioning look: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Qingchen, hurry back home!" Wei Jie ordered. Qingchen whipped the horse whip and the carriage sped up. Under the inertia, Ling Yuan was shaken all over. As a last resort, she grabbed Wei Jie's hand tightly and asked, "What happened?"

Wei Jie did not show any disgust at her instinctive reaction. Instead, he held her tighter with his backhand, his eyes full of nervousness and anxiety: "Help me save someone. No matter what the cost, you must save him."

It was hard to imagine that she would see such a nervous expression on Wei Jie's face. It turned out that the so-called King of War was not invincible. He was also nervous, afraid, and worried.

Without reading the content of the letter, one could guess that there must be another important patient for her to see. Moreover, if what he guessed was correct, the significance of this person to Wei Jie was probably incomparable to ordinary people.

"What kind of patient?"

"A child." Wei Jie pursed his lips, his eyes fixed, "A child who just turned fifteen."

Ling Yuan looked at him in confusion: "If I remember correctly, you are only eighteen, right? If you call a fifteen-year-old a child, then who are you? And who am I?"

Wei Jie looked at her with deep eyes and said calmly: "You don't understand. In my opinion, he is just a child, a poor child without a father or a mother."

"Ah? Both his parents are gone?"

So pitiful?

Ling Yuan frowned slightly and subconsciously thought of herself. Why are there so many unlucky children with tragic fates in this world?

"So what happened to this kid?"

"When I was three years old, I was shot with an arrow and burned. My entire back was burnt black and festered..."

"What?" Ling Yuan was suddenly startled, her heart clenched uncontrollably, "How could it be so serious?"

He looked at Ling Yuan deeply and said, "This child is very important to me. It is almost equivalent to my life. If he lives, I live too. If he dies, there is no need for me to live anymore. So, please make sure to cure his illness."

"Let him walk and run normally like a normal child. This is my only request. If you can cure his disease, I, Wei Jie, will go through fire and water for you in this life, without hesitation!"

Ling Yuan's eyes were filled with shock, and she looked at him in disbelief: "You are putting pressure on me. After all, I have never seen the child yet. What if..."

"Nothing can happen. You can only succeed, not fail!" The man's tyranny made Ling Yuan frown slightly: "My lord, there is no such thing as absolute in this world. Even if I am a skilled doctor, I cannot bear your responsibility of only succeeding and not failing."

Wei Jie looked at her, his clear eyes full of coldness: "You must succeed."

Ling Yuan pulled the corner of his mouth coldly: "Threatening me?"

"If threats work for you, I don't mind doing it."

Listening to someone's increasingly powerful words, Ling Yuan suddenly felt that she seemed to have accidentally boarded a pirate ship that would make her regret her whole life.

"So, you went to so much trouble to marry me, but in fact, it was also for this person?"

"That seems to be correct."

His admission made Ling Yuan feel very uncomfortable. Although she knew that both parties were using each other, there was nothing wrong with him saying that.

But why did her heart suddenly ache?

She tried hard to hide her loneliness in her eyes, and when she raised her head again, her gaze was as cold as water.

"From what you said, if I can't save him, I have to be buried with him? Your Highness, don't you think your request is too much? I am a human, not a god. I can't be so absolute as you say!"

"He can't die, Ling Yuan, you have to save him."

Ling Yuan looked at him colder and colder. "I can only tell you that I will try my best, but I can't guarantee that I will save him. After all, he has been ill for so many years, and you haven't been able to cure him for so many years. Why do you put so much pressure on me when I take action?"

"Don't use those high-sounding reasons to pressure me! There is no absolutely good doctor in this world, and there is absolutely no absolutely bad doctor. Everyone measures everything by the so-called value."

"I, Ling Yuan, have been in the martial arts world for so many years, and the number of patients I have come into contact with is no less than the number of people you have killed. The greed of human nature will become more and more intense as we grow older. These are not based on facts."

"No matter how glorious you were in the past, if you are sick, aren't you still in the hands of doctors? As a doctor, I can only do my best to help them, so that when they are on the verge of death, they can truly realize the importance of family, love, and friendship. As the saying goes, when a dying person is about to die, his words are kind."

Ling Yuan's words, somehow, gave Wei Jie a bad feeling: "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing. It just shortens the life span of people who could live two or three years to two or three months or... well, a few days."

Ling Yuan's careless words made Wei Jie feel cold: "Are you threatening me?"

Ling Yuan sneered: "I said, I am not a big deal about threats. Saving him is the best, but if you can't save him, do you want me to be buried with you? If that's the case, then I'm telling you now, I refuse."

The determination in her eyes and her arrogant and serious attitude made him frown inexplicably.

"This king does not ask about the process, only the result."

Ling Yuan sneered, "No doctor in the world would dare to give any definite answer without seeing the patient first!"

He immediately turned sideways, picked up the book on the table and started flipping through it.

Wei Jie looked out the window with a dark gaze. How could he not know what Ling Yuan said?

It's just that she is not an ordinary doctor, and he needs to get some spiritual comfort from her.

But she was so cautious and didn't leave him any hope. Wei Jie's brain was blank at this moment, and the only thing on his mind was the safety of the child.

After traveling all night, both people and horses could not bear it. When the carriage finally stopped, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon two days later.

Ling Yuan covered her shriveled stomach, got off the carriage with a very bad look on her face, and looked at the Shijinlou across the road with a dazed head.

"I didn't expect it would be so hard to have a meal. I've been starving since this morning!"

Wei Jie didn't even raise his eyelids: "Time is running out, if you don't want to eat, just keep walking."

"You!" Ling Yuan was about to step forward to argue, but a little beggar appeared out of nowhere and bumped into her with a bang. Ling Yuan was slightly stunned, and when she reacted, the little beggar had already run away.

She touched her body and her expression changed immediately: "Oh no, my purse fell off. How dare you, you little thief, steal my purse? Come back here quickly, stop!"

Qing Ye and Qing Xuan were startled and were about to chase after him, but Wei Jie's voice came from not too far away: "No need, she can handle it."

Thinking of Ling Yuan's skills and the poisons all over his body, it seemed that a mere petty thief was no problem at all.

Unexpectedly, she chased for nearly three kilometers. After running around half of the town, Ling Yuan sat breathlessly on a big rock outside the town and waved to the little beggar. Instead of running away, the little beggar jumped towards her.

He knelt on one knee with a respectful look on his face: "I am Shi Rui, the subordinate, and I am here to see the owner of the manor." His voice was clear and crisp, just like that of a little girl.

"Wake up, why are you here?"

Shirui raised her head, and under her straw-like hair, her bright big eyes looked at Lingyuan with a watery look.

"In reply to the owner, I was on a mission nearby. I received the letter from the Fifth Young Master and made this trip."

Ling Yuan took the letter and waved at her: "Do what you need to do."

"Okay, I won't stay any longer. Master, please take care of yourself."

Ling Yuan pinched Shi Rui's face and said, "I almost didn't recognize you in this outfit. Go back and be careful."

The little beggar nodded to Ling Yuan and walked out of the town directly.

Only after she walked away did Ling Yuan open the letter from Huamao. After taking a closer look, she was shocked and stroked the paper in her hand, "Purple Phoenix Palace? It's actually the Purple Phoenix Palace?"

When they returned to Shijin Tower, Wei Jie had already started eating. Without waiting for Ling Yuan to sit down, he glanced at her and looked behind her.

Ling Yuan followed his gaze and immediately became annoyed: "You, don't go too far."

The table was just right for the four of Qingchen, with eight dishes and two soups. They were enjoying their meal, but when he saw them looking over, his chewing movements froze and he quickly stood up.

"Eat your own food and don't worry about us."

Ling Yuan waved at them, turned around and looked at Wei Jie, the meaning in her eyes was very obvious.

As their princess, there's no way she could sit at the same table with them, right?

But what did he do as her husband?

It would be fine if he just left a table full of delicious food and wine for himself, but he actually let his princess share a table with his subordinates?

"You really want me to squeeze in with them?"

Ling Yuan immediately stared at him with her eyes not eyes and nose not nose.

Unexpectedly, Wei Jie raised his eyebrows and said, "Your dinner is over there."

Looking in the direction where his finger was pointing, Ling Yuan was stunned again.

My God, her husband, the prince, is so kind to her!

The table next to him happened to have two dishes, a soup, and a rice. It seemed good, but the key point was that compared to his own four hot dishes, four cold dishes, and two soups, it was simply...

Even the food provided to Qingchen and the other three was comparable to that provided to Wei Jie. Why was it so unfair to her?

"You're sending away beggars?"

Ling Yuan may tolerate others' injustice, but she is never vague when it comes to the regulations on meals.

I thought it was not easy to be away from home, so I just endured it. But after being hungry for a day, I received such a huge difference in treatment.

That is simply intolerable.

This guy wanted to teach her a lesson because she had threatened him before and he felt that she couldn't treat his patients wholeheartedly?

"Why are you so stingy?"

Wei Jie looked at her expressionlessly: "After all, you are a woman, shouldn't you also care about your image?"

"Are you looking down on me now? I've already told you that this fat of mine wasn't eaten. You're just nitpicking."

"Don't you have a purse?" He added it himself.

Seeing that she didn't appreciate it, Wei Jie didn't say much.

"You're still letting me spend my own money?"

Ling Yuan's voice suddenly rose, immediately attracting the attention of people around.

She gnashed her teeth in anger, but he took no notice and continued to eat elegantly.

However, when she saw Wei Jie raise his eyebrows at her meaningfully, she suddenly realized that this man's real intention seemed to be...

"You're so cruel!" Ling Yuan returned to her seat angrily, picked up the chopsticks, and looked at the stir-fried vegetables and fried tofu that couldn't be simpler. She took a deep breath and kept telling herself to stay calm, stay calm.

She must not get on the same level with this vindictive man. If she takes it seriously, she will lose.

Fortunately, there is still food to eat. At worst, there is still egg soup, right?

Even if you want to leave, you should finish eating this dish and soup before leaving, right?

But when she swallowed the dry vegetables with difficulty and looked at the fat red meat in Qingchen's mouth, she did not forget to scold Shirui for being unkind with tears on her face.

Why didn't you return her purse after taking it?

If she had a dime, she wouldn't let this man be so arrogant. Damn it, he did it on purpose, absolutely on purpose!

Knowing that Shi Rui was hers, she didn't send anyone to follow her.

She knew clearly that she only had that one purse and if she lost it it would be gone, especially since it contained the 12,000 taels of gold notes that she had extorted from Yu Hen!

Whenever she thought of the ten thousand taels of gold notes, she felt so angry that her flesh ached.

She angrily chewed the vegetable stalks in her mouth, her eyes fixed on the arrogant man who was holding her in check. Is this man a ghost?

How could he predict everything? She was going to spend her whole life with him, wouldn't she always be under his control?

Ling Yuan felt more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it. Her eyes rolled and she suddenly remembered something. She immediately picked up her plate of food and walked towards Wei Jie.

"Master, you have so many dishes, can you finish them? Otherwise, give me some as a reward?"

Wei Jie glanced at her face indifferently, and under her expectant gaze, he knocked her hand away with a chopstick: "No, no!"

Ling Yuan gritted his teeth, "Are you sure?"

"You can try it!" Damn, this guy's threat is becoming more and more obvious.

But she really wanted to eat meat. Without meat, how could she have the strength?

Thinking of this, she didn't care about anything else. She seized the opportunity, picked up her chopsticks immediately, and quickly scooped some food from each plate.

Because her movements were too rude and exaggerated, Wei Jie looked at her with a very bad expression and didn't say anything for a long time. He had no time to stop her at all. He watched her pick up the chopsticks and stir the food in his plate and take it away. Her movements were so smooth and it was hard not to admire her.

Ling Yuan, who got the food, didn't even look at him. He took the plate and walked away, eating happily and contentedly by himself.

Sure enough, the food we snatched away tasted delicious!

Her attack, on the contrary, left Qingchen and the other three stunned.

My God, their princess is getting more and more daring. She even dares to snatch food from her master's mouth?

What was particularly exaggerated was that their prince only had a slightly ugly expression on his face, but was not angry at all?

He has always been a germaphobe, but after the princess used his food, he didn't show any disgust or disdain on his face. He just ate it like that?

Oh my god, is the sun rising from the west today?

After a delicious meal, the team set off again. Someone who got on the carriage first was in a very happy mood, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

This made Wei Jie, who got on the car later, frown slightly. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

This made him so excited that even when he got on the carriage, his mind was still highly concentrated and his senses were aroused.

Ling Yuan was in a very good mood and humming a song while flipping through the ancient version of the novel that she asked Qingchen to buy for her to pass the time. She was also eating the melon seeds and snacks that she extorted from Qingxuan. She was in a very happy mood!

Half an hour after the team set out, Wei Jie suddenly felt something was wrong with his stomach. Not only did it keep rumbling, but he also wanted to fart, one after another, making him fidget in the carriage. His handsome face turned red, and he stared at Ling Yuan, gritting his teeth, "You did it?"

His reaction made Ling Yuan cover her nose, widen her eyes, and shake her head desperately: "Unfair."

But in my heart, I was laughing so hard that I almost choked.

Poor Wei Jie didn't have time to deal with him now, and shouted to Qingchen outside the car window: "Stop, stop the car!"

When Qingchen and the others opened the car door and saw Wei Jie, whose face was pale and beads of sweat kept oozing out of his forehead, they were shocked and said, "Master, what happened to you?"

"Hurry, hurry and help me down. I want to, I want to, come out..."

When Qingchen heard this, he immediately carried Wei Jie on his back and ran to the nearby woods. Seeing this, Qingxuan was also very anxious: "What's going on? He was fine just now, why did he suddenly..."

At this point, his voice suddenly choked, and he turned his head to look at the carriage door that had been tightly closed from beginning to end. Usually, she was the most lively one, so why was it so quiet now?

In fact, it wasn't that she was quiet, but that she was laughing so hard that she fell to the ground. When Qingxuan's voice rang out through the car window, Ling Yuan took a lot of effort to stop laughing.

I immediately opened the window to ventilate, Emma, ​​she was suffocated.

"Madam, I don't know what happened to the prince. He suddenly has a stomachache. Can you take a look at him later?"

"Okay, no problem, it's just a small thing, easy."

Qing Xuan immediately thanked her gratefully: "Then I'll trouble you, Madam."

Unexpectedly, they had to wait for a full quarter of an hour. When Qingchen came over supporting Wei Jie, who walked a little uncomfortably, Qingxuan immediately stepped forward and said to him.

"Master, did you eat something bad? Otherwise, can you let Madam take a look at you?"

It would have been fine if he didn't say anything. As soon as he opened his mouth, Wei Jie's eyes suddenly turned fierce and he kicked him: "Get out!"

Qingxuan covered his butt and looked at Qingchen in confusion. Qingchen waved at him with a dark face, meaning to go wherever is cooler.

Qingxuan felt even more aggrieved now. Who did he offend?

Killing someone is not right, so at least give him a reason, right?

You don't say anything and don't allow me to ask questions. Isn't this going to suffocate me to death?

"Master, I'm afraid you can't ride a horse in your condition. Why don't you ..."

"Shut up and help me onto the horse!"

Let him stay in the same room with that black fat man with a black heart? It would be better to kill him!

Poor him, he was smart all his life but was confused for a moment. He thought that the woman had tampered with the carriage. He never expected that she would openly poison his food.

Ling Yuan didn't choose his dishes randomly, it was premeditated.

Ling Yuan, who had been waiting for a long time, didn't expect that Wei Jie was so principled. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows at him in admiration.
