After Hei Que left, Wei Jie stood in front of Du Yin's bed in a daze, looking at his thin body, without saying a word for a long time.
More than half an hour later, Ling Yuan walked in lazily. Seeing Wei Jie sitting on the bed, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Why are you here? Are you done with your work? Come on, move aside. I need to remove the needle."
Wei Jie glanced at her sideways, his tone more serious than ever before: "Can this child be saved?"
Ling Yuan tilted her head, her eyes somewhat puzzled: "What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you an hour ago? There is hope, but the prerequisite is that you must get me those medicines!"
"What if I can't get it? Are you just going to watch him die?"
"I can't do it. We'll talk about it when I can't do it. I want to remove the needle now, get out of the way!"
Wei Jie stood up suddenly and grabbed her wrist: "What if I tell you to save him at any cost? What price do I have to pay for your medicine? Tell me!"
Ling Yuan frowned slightly. She looked at Wei Jie's expression which suddenly changed and raised her eyes unhappily: "You hurt me, let go. I said, you hurt me, let go!"
Wei Jie seemed not to hear her growl. He pulled her hard and Ling Yuan staggered towards him. The distance between them was only one centimeter. Even their breathing sounded deafening.
"What do you want to do?" Ling Yuan felt uncomfortable at such a close distance. She wanted to move away a little, but found that this person only held her tighter. She had no choice but to give up struggling.
"What the hell are you doing? I'm trying to remove the needle. If I delay you, will you take responsibility?"
Wei Jie smiled coldly: "He will die sooner or later anyway, so what does it matter if we delay him for a while?"
"You are totally unreasonable!" Ling Yuan raised her head in hatred, her eyes full of dissatisfaction with him: "Since you don't want to treat me anymore, then let me go, and we will part ways now!"
Wei Jie stared at her, his scorching breath spraying on her face, and a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Let you go? Ling Yuan, do you think that you can come and go as you please in my territory, Wei Jie?"
"What exactly do you want to do?" Ling Yuan felt her scalp tingling at his smile. This man, this is his true nature, isn't it?
"It's very simple. Tell me how to save him. Save him completely."
The persistence in Wei Jie's eyes made Ling Yuan frown even deeper: "Who is he to you that makes you so desperate to save his life?"
"You want to know?"
"yes!"
"Is this also part of the treatment?"
"Of course, I have to know who he is, right? Since you asked me to save him, you have to let me know whether this person is worth such a heavy price to pay!"
Wei Jie's gaze on her became deeper and deeper, until he let go of her arms and pushed her back forcefully, then he chuckled softly.
"Who is he? Haha, who is he? He is just an orphan. Is his identity so important? You doctors, do you have to bargain so hard to save a person? What do you mean by a doctor's caring heart? Bullshit!"
At this point, he seemed to have made a great decision, "If you must have a reason to save someone, then, just save him because he is the only bloodline of the Du family!"
The Du family? The only bloodline?
Ling Yuan was so frightened by the sudden news that she stumbled, gasped subconsciously, and staggered back a step. Her eyes, which had been calm just a moment ago, suddenly revealed a hint of surprise.
"The Du family? Is it the Du family that was wiped out more than a decade ago? The eternal military family of Siyou country?"
"How many Du families in Siyou Country are there that I would go to such great lengths to preserve their bloodline?"
Ling Yuan gradually realized something was wrong. "Didn't the Du family get wiped out by your Wei family? Why are you trying to preserve their only bloodline?"
"That's because the one who destroyed the Du family was Wei Yuchen, not our entire Wei family, and certainly not me, Wei Jie. Do you understand?"
Ling Yuan still didn't understand, "The child was only three years old at the time. How did he escape this disaster? Also, when you saved him, you were only five years old, right? A five-year-old can save a three-year-old child? Your Highness, are you kidding me?"
"Stupid, did I tell you that it was my handiwork from the beginning? I've already told you the identity of this man, are you going to treat him or not?"
Facing his impatience, Ling Yuan just crossed her arms and looked at him coldly: "Reason, give me a reason, what motive made you save this child at all costs? You even said that he is your only motivation to live. In this case, do you think that the only bloodline of the Du family can explain it clearly?"
Wei Jie didn't expect that this little girl would be so difficult to deal with. His expression immediately became even more gloomy. But then he thought that if he didn't give her a suitable reason, this girl would probably keep pestering him forever.
He frowned and said, "My mother was once favored by the late queen. The late queen and the eldest prince have passed away. Since I accidentally saved the only bloodline of the Du family, I must be responsible to the end. Or do you think it is more appropriate for me to hand him over to Wei Yuchen?"
Ling Yuan frowned, always feeling that this reason was too far-fetched, but she couldn't find the right words to refute him for a moment. Especially, this was a matter of life and death, and she couldn't afford to be careless.
"In that case, let me try. However, don't count on those medicines. They won't work from my grandfather. As for the Medicine King Valley's master Yao Ren, don't count on them either."
"You left this king with nothing to hope for, so how are you going to save him?"
Ling Yuan just looked at him calmly: "I said, I will do my best. If you believe me, leave it to me. If you don't believe me, you can hand the person over to whoever you want. What do you think?"
"Ling Yuan, don't force me. I just want to hear the truth. Whether the child can be saved or not is as simple as that!"
Ling Yuan was also defeated by his persistence: "Then I tell you solemnly now, I don't know. I have no internal strength now, and it will take a month to recover. Give me a month to prepare, and I will tell you in a month whether it works or not. I wonder if you are satisfied with this?"
"Are you serious?"
"When have I, Ling Yuan, ever said something that didn't count?"
"Okay, it's a deal."
Seeing that this guy finally stopped dwelling on this issue, Ling Yuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Ling Yuan turned around, fished out all the golden needles from the white powder, put them aside, then sat down, took the patient's pulse, and wrote the prescription in an orderly manner, so that Wei Jie could not find any mistakes.
"Take it and get the medicine. This is the first time we've given him acupuncture today, so it shouldn't be too long. Let him get used to it first. If there's nothing wrong with his body, acupuncture is much better than taking medicine. I'll see about that later. Okay, I'm tired. I'll leave this to you."
Seeing Ling Yuan was about to leave, Wei Jie stepped forward before her and said, "Since there is nothing else to do here, let's go back together. Su Guang has already returned."
Tracing the light?
Haha, it's true that when you mention Cao Cao, he will appear.
"Are you sure you want to leave him to me?"
Wei Jie frowned unhappily, "Are you questioning what I said?"
"No, I just heard that his sister seemed to be a guest in your house, and you brought her back to me, her sister."
Wei Jie finally understood what the girl meant. "If you rescue her, what reason does her sister have to stay in the mansion?"
Ling Yuan stared blankly at the man's slender figure like a green bamboo gradually walking away, and a hint of joy gradually filled her watery eyes.
Tsk tsk, this His Royal Highness the Phoenix King is really someone that women both love and hate. Xia Yunhe has stayed in the mansion for so many years, but now she was sent away by him with such a bland word.
If that woman knew, how heartbroken would she be?
Should I save this younger brother or not?
Ling Yuan thought maliciously that she wanted to see what the person who was said to have saved Wei Jie looked like.
When she and Wei Jie walked out of Youyue Lake one after another and headed towards the front yard, they saw a beautiful woman in a white moonlight dress, holding up her skirt, running towards them on the gravel road, panting. Perhaps because she was too anxious, she didn't even see them.
It was only after the maid beside me reminded me that I noticed they were not far away.
Although he only glanced at it from a distance, Ling Yuan was already very foresighted and felt a sense of crisis.
Damn, this woman's looks are really no joke.
She had a delicate and small oval face, fair and delicate skin, and a pair of watery eyes that seemed to be able to drip water. However, her face was too white, so white that it made her look a bit sickly. Considering that Wei Jie had mentioned before that her body had been severely injured, I guess this was the reason?
Perhaps it was because she saw Wei Jie, the woman's jogging gradually slowed down and she started to walk slowly. From a distance, her every move and gesture revealed a unique charm.
Ling Yuan thought that this guy might stop and take a look at the beautiful scenery, but she didn't expect that he just left without even taking a look?
Almost subconsciously, Ling Yuan looked at the reaction of the woman in white.
Sure enough, when she realized that Wei Jie ignored her and walked towards another path, her face, which was already extremely pale, became even more frightening, as if it was covered with a layer of white powder. If it weren't for the maid supporting her, she would have collapsed to the ground by now.
Ling Yuan shrugged, took a few quick steps, and caught up with Wei Jie.
Watching the two people's backs getting farther and farther away, Xia Yunhe behind them had hatred in her beautiful eyes and the handkerchief in her hand was tightly grasped.
"Du Juan, that ugly woman just now, could it be Ling Yuan? The princess from Mei Country who came to marry?"
Xia Yunhe's voice was extremely cold, and her face was gloomy. Du Juan frowned at the side and said, "Miss Xia, that's the princess. How can you mention the princess's name directly? And insult her like this?"
Although Du Juan was nominally her maid, she was first a member of the Phoenix Palace and then hers.
No matter how ugly their Princess Feng was, it was not something that servants like them could criticize. As for this Miss Xia, she was just a guest in their palace. How could she insult her master like this?
Does she know who she is?
Xia Yunhe was very unhappy because Wei Jie ignored her.
Especially just now, she clearly saw the woman's scrutinizing eyes looking at her. Since she saw her, why didn't she stop and remind the prince?
Just for this reason, Xia Yunhe didn't like her, so the words she said were not nice at all.
But what she didn't expect was that her maid would be so disregarding of her dignity and accuse her to her face.
Without even thinking, she turned around and slapped Du Juan hard in the face. Because she turned too quickly and with too much force, she lost her footing and almost fell.
Du Juan was a little confused by the sudden slap. She covered her instantly swollen face and stared at Xia Yunhe blankly, "Girl? What do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean? What do you think I mean?" Xia Yunhe's eyes were sharp. "You are mine, but your words and actions just now were all towards someone else. What do you mean?"
Du Juan shook her head with tears in her eyes: "Miss, that's not what I meant. I just want to remind you that there are some things you should say and some things you can't say."
"Shut up, I've been in the palace for more than a day or two. Do I need you to remind me what to say and what not to say?"
"But, but," Xia Yunhe glanced at her coldly, "There is no but. I don't need you now. Go back!"
How can I go to see the King of Phoenix with this face?
Du Juan looked at Xia Yunhe aggrievedly, but Xia Yunhe was too lazy to even look at her again. She turned around and walked towards another path.
Looking at her back, Du Juan finally cried out in grievance. Although there were not many servants in the Phoenix Palace, her crying still attracted many people's attention.
Su Guang was brought here personally by Liu Shang, but unfortunately, Wei Jie obviously had no intention of seeing him, so he simply called Liu Shang away and left him to her.
Therefore, when Ling Yuan entered, Su Guang looked up with hope, but when he saw her bloated and ugly face, his handsome face instantly darkened: "Why are you here?"
Ling Yuan was surprised to such an extent that he was still so arrogant. She frowned unconsciously and a dark light flashed across her watery eyes.
"This is the Phoenix Palace. What's the problem with my presence here?"
"You, where is the prince? I want to see the prince."
Ling Yuan sat down nonchalantly, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. The prince won't come to see you!"
"Why?"
"Because your prince has already given you to this princess. From today on, I, the woman you despise, am your real master!"
"You, you are shameless, what can I give you? How can you be so shameless as a woman? I am a person, not a gift, how can I give it to you?"
"Haha, it's really unlucky that at this time, you still don't repent. In this case, I don't bother to talk nonsense with you anymore!"
Ling Yuan stood up and walked to the door. Two guards came in immediately: "What do you want, princess?"
"Bring him to Youranju. This person, I will deal with him myself!"
"Yes, Princess."
Ling Yuan walked away, no matter how Su Guang cursed her behind him.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yuan was not stopped, but the two guards were shocked by his dirty words.
He immediately took out a rag and blocked the mouth that was spewing shit.
I thought to myself, no wonder the old man doesn't even want to see him. It's better to kill a man like him with a knife. What's the point of keeping him around?
He is so bold that he even dares to insult the princess. Isn't he looking for death?
Upon hearing the news that Ling Yuan had returned, the four maids went out to greet her early in the morning. Unexpectedly, what they were greeted with was such a gloomy face.
"Master, what's wrong? Who made you angry? Let Annie beat him up!"
Ling Yuan had indeed suffered a lot of grievances and endured a lot of hardships when she went out this time. Seeing these four concerned faces, her restless heart calmed down at once.
She pinched little Anna's chin and said, "Be good, go and prepare something delicious for me. Seeing you has whetted my appetite."
Anna immediately took the order and left. "Yes, sir. I will prepare food for you right away."
Ling Yuan glanced at Annie and said, "Someone will come here in a while. You guys clean up and I will handle it in the pavilion."
"Who is it?" An Hui, An Ran and Annie looked at Ling Yuan at the same time.
Ling Yuan curled her lips, her eyes turned cold: "You are such a nasty person, go ahead, and by the way, give me a portion of the various poisons I prepared before."
She must teach this ignorant, half-wild boy a lesson today. If she doesn't teach him a lesson, does he really think that she is easy to bully?
Not long after, the person was dragged into Taoran Ju.
Taoran Ju is the best courtyard in the palace besides Youyue Lake and Xuanyuan Pavilion. It was also the place arranged by Wei Jie for the princess.
But this is the inner courtyard after all, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. Although Ling Yuan is not afraid of these rumors, she still gives Wei Jie some face and drags him into the yard to deal with him.
"Go, stop the people outside. No matter who comes, don't let them in."
Xia Yunhe came to Wei Jie in a panic today. One could tell at a glance that it was because of this idiot. If she couldn't find anyone in the front yard, she would definitely come to her.
She would never see him again until she had dealt with this boy.
"Who are you trying to stop? It's my sister, right? You cruel woman, why did you bring me here?"
Before Ling Yuan could speak, An Hui and the others beside him all looked cold after hearing such words.
Anne, in particular, kicked the man over without even thinking: "Asshole, how dare you talk to the princess like this, who gave you the courage?"
Su Guang was kicked unexpectedly. Just as he was about to curse, he saw the ferocious Annie and sneered: "What? You think my scolding is too harsh and you feel guilty, so you come to find help? Ling Yuan, look at your cowardly look. You still have the nerve to stay in the Phoenix Palace and occupy the position of Phoenix Princess? You are really shameless!"
Ling Yuan raised her eyebrows, looking proud and her voice was colder than ever before. She walked up to him, stepped on his head, and pressed Su Guang's struggling body hard onto the uneven gravel road.
"Do you know what I regret the most now? That is that I shouldn't have saved you. People like you are worth more dead. Living is simply a waste of food. Even now, you still don't repent?"
"Bah, who asked you to save me? Even if you didn't save me, there were plenty of people who came to save me. Am I not alive and well now? You are talking in a high-sounding manner, as if you are so capable. Haha, I think you are just a big-tailed wolf. Do you think that you are really the Phoenix Princess just because you occupy the position of the Phoenix Princess?"
An Hui frowned and looked at Annie coldly: "Why are you still standing there? Beat him, beat this filthy bastard who is full of shit and knows nothing. He even dares to insult the princess. Who gave him the courage?"
As he spoke, he looked at the guards around him, "And you, what are you doing standing there? Don't you see this disgusting guy? Beat him up, it would be best if I beat him so hard that I can't even recognize him. And you call him sister? Tsk, who is your sister? How dare you act so presumptuous in front of the princess? Bah!"
At An Hui's order, Ling Yuan did not object, and the guards immediately punched and kicked Su Guang. Su Guang's mouth was so disgusting that An Ran was so angry that she dug a handful of soil and stuffed it into his mouth, and blocked it with a cloth.
Now, it seemed as if the whole world had quieted down.
An Hui and the others immediately looked at Ling Yuan with a strange look: "Master, where did you find such a cheap idiot?"
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
"It's a reward from your prince!"
It wasn’t because of Wei Jie that she realized there were such shameless people in the world!
Although Su Guang's strength has reached the third level of martial artist.
Although Ling Yuan had not practiced for the past few months, as her spatial level increased, her strength naturally broke through to the third level of martial artist.
In other words, the strength of these two people is comparable.
Unfortunately, one of them is now poisoned and the other has lost all his internal strength.
In this situation, Su Guang, who was tied up and poisoned, naturally became a weak position. At Ling Yuan's order, the guards punched and kicked him mercilessly. No matter how he whimpered, he could not utter a single dirty word.
When Ling Yuan ordered to stop the fight, the originally handsome and elegant Su Guang was beaten so badly by Ling Yuan's men that he didn't even recognize his parents.
When Annie pulled the dirty cloth out of his mouth, he began to spit out the dirt in his mouth with a "Puh, Puh, Puh" sound. When he saw the black and red poisonous blood mixed in the dirt, the boy's face began to turn blue and red. When he looked at Ling Yuan again, his originally vicious mouth could no longer utter a single word.
As soon as Ling Yuan saw his expression, she knew what he was thinking and raised her eyebrows teasingly: "Do you believe it now?"
Su Guang's face darkened and he glared at her angrily: "What do you want?"
"Well, if you calculate the time, the poison in your body will relapse before dark. By that time, it won't be too late for you to speak nonsense in front of this princess."
Su Guang was suddenly panicked. Thinking of the pain that felt like his internal organs were almost dislocated when the poison took effect, he felt a chill of fear rising up his spine.
"The prince has handed me over to you. If anything happens to me, you will be held responsible."
What I mean is, you can't just ignore me.
Ling Yuan is an old hand in this world, and she is very successful as a ghost doctor. Who wouldn't be polite to her when meeting her?
Even though I had begun to question her identity, I had never seen anyone as shameless as the one in front of me.
Such a person was thrown to Wei Jie. Although Ling Yuan was not willing to accept it, Wei Jie was right in one thing. No matter what, this person's sister had done the prince a favor, and they must not be ungrateful. If she saved him, it would not be a bad idea to take the opportunity to drive away the brother and sister.
However, she now had to worry about whether it would affect their Fengwang Mansion if such a pair of siblings with ulterior motives were really released.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to guard against a villain. Just looking at Su Guang's face, it is enough to imagine what kind of person Xia Yunhe is.
Ling Yuan was worried. How could she reduce the danger to the lowest level?
"Bah, how can you be so shameless? Since the prince kicked you out, he must hate you. Our princess took you in out of kindness, and you are not grateful, but you dare to threaten me? Who do you think you are?"
"It's up to you whether the princess saves you or not. Even if you die, the prince won't make a sound. Don't take yourself too seriously. We have seen many people like you. You are so shameless!"
When Anne gets angry, she is not polite at all.
Su Guang was furious at Annie's mockery: "Ling Yuan, if you dare not save me, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Everyone looked at Su Guang with incredible eyes, wondering where did this kid come from? His IQ is really, too worrying.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, Su Guang stretched his neck and raised his chin arrogantly: "I was poisoned because I worked for the prince. The reason why my sister was wrapped in medicine was also for the prince."
"My sister and I have fallen to this point today, all because of the prince. Therefore, you, the Fengwang Mansion, cannot ignore us, otherwise, even if we die, we will also take someone with us!"
I have to say, at the critical moment, this kid's brain is quite useful. Look, didn't he get to the point in just a few words?
Seeing this desperate look, even though Annie and the others were filled with righteous indignation, they had to look at Ling Yuan, because what this kid said was not without reason. If the prince really ignored them, it would really damage his reputation in the future.
Although Wei Jie didn't seem to care about these things, since Ling Yuan had encountered them, he couldn't just ignore them.
However, she was very unhappy about being threatened by this boy.
If the ghost doctor is unhappy, it means the patient is in big trouble.
Ling Yuan raised her hand. Seeing this, Annie's eyes flashed slightly. She was about to say something, but An Hui gave her a look. Annie immediately understood what she meant. She lightly flicked her finger, and the ropes on Su Guang's body instantly broke into pieces.
Su Guang, who was free, jumped up from the ground and looked at Ling Yuan with contempt.
"It would have been better if this had happened earlier. I wouldn't have to waste so much time teaching you the principles of life, humph!"
After saying this, he walked out without looking back, because he could hear his sister's voice coming from outside.
He felt that his eyes had been seriously polluted by this woman and he needed to see his sister to cleanse them, so he left without looking back.
Ling Yuan, the Phoenix Princess, was completely ignored.
The servants in the yard saw all of this, and a complicated look appeared in everyone's eyes. Some even looked at Ling Yuan with dissatisfaction, as if they agreed with what Su Guang had just said. This woman really did not deserve to be the Princess of Phoenix. With such courage, how could she live up to the extremely noble status of the Princess of Phoenix?
Come to think of it, their Phoenix Princess seems to be only... eleven years old?
How can an eleven-year-old girl hold up half the sky of the Phoenix Palace? Their prince, isn't this, isn't this nonsense?
But no matter how much people thought about it, no one dared to say a word.
Before Princess Feng entered the palace, there was a housekeeper named Lan Yulan in charge. Except for some specific positions that required maids and nannies, there were no women anywhere else. At a glance, the palace was filled with men.
Precisely because there are few women, gossips and schemes, and Lan Yu comes from the military and is very strict in his rule, the Phoenix Palace has been so peaceful over the years, without any major mistakes.
But now that the princess has entered the palace, the number of women can no longer be less than ten like before. Now, there are already twenty women in the princess's courtyard alone, not to mention the maids in the big kitchen and other specific places to meet the princess's needs.
When there are too many women, troubles will ensue. Look at what happened today. The dignified Princess Feng was slapped in the face to such an extent by a foreign man. It's really, really embarrassing!
Ling Yuan didn't care about the looks of others. Instead, she sat there calmly, continuing to drink tea and eat snacks, as if nothing had happened here just now.
An Hui and the others were from Fengchi Villa, so they had naturally seen the abilities of the eldest lady. When they saw Ling Yuan like this, they became silent and waited quietly by the side.
As for Xia Yunhe, after she came to nothing at Xuanyuan Pavilion, she immediately trotted to Taoran Residence. Unexpectedly, the people there stopped her from entering. She was very anxious, especially when she heard that her brother was poisoned. She was so anxious that her face turned pale. She said all the nice things she could, but the guards refused to let her in. She was so anxious that tears came to her eyes.
Seeing the beauty crying, even the hard-hearted men couldn't help but soften their hearts. However, the princess's order was still there, and they couldn't let her in even if they had the courage to do so. What's more, Su Guang was really brave and even dared to insult the princess. They didn't know what would happen to him.
One by one, they could only harden their hearts and ignore Xia Yunhe, letting her cry endlessly in front of Taoran Residence.
I didn't expect that, less than a quarter of an hour later, the young man named Suguang actually ran out by himself. Although he was beaten black and blue and his original appearance could not be seen, as soon as he ran out of the door, he threw himself into Xia Yunhe's arms and shouted "sister", it was clear that this man was Suguang who was escorted in at first.
How come it came out in such a short time?
Holding her brother whom she hadn't seen for many years, Xia Yunhe cried even more sadly, especially after seeing his appearance, her heart was broken with pain.
The brother and sister walked away from Taoran Ju and sat down in a small garden nearby. Xia Yunhe stroked her brother's bloated face, and tears of pain rolled down her face like beads from a broken string.
"How can the princess be so cruel? You still have poison in your body. How can she beat someone like this? Woo, my poor brother, does it hurt?"
"It hurts, it hurts so much, that woman is so bad, she is bad to the core, sister, you must stay away from her in the future, she is so ugly and has such a cruel heart, such a woman deserves to grow up to be like that, I don't know what's wrong with the prince, he actually married her, it's simply disgusting."
Xia Yunhe's expression changed immediately, and she covered her brother's mouth with her hand: "Guangguang, how can you say such words? No matter what she is, she is still the princess, it is not your turn to comment here. If others hear us, we will be in trouble."
Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, Suguang pulled her hand away, "What Guangguang, sister, I've told you so many times, don't call me Guangguang, my name is Suguang, Suguang, okay? Guangguang really sucks."
"Besides, what are you afraid of? You saved the prince, what's a mere princess? I dared to say that to her face, let alone behind her back? I scolded her, so what? Don't you even look in the mirror to see what kind of person you are? How dare you call yourself the Princess of Phoenix? How shameless!"
Xia Yunhe widened her eyes and looked at her brother in disbelief. "You, you actually dared to say that in front of her? Oh my God, Guangguang, aren't you afraid that she will punish you? So, this is how you got the injury?"
Suguang glared at his sister impatiently, "I've told you so many times, why can't you change? And you're still naked?"
"Okay, okay, Suguang, Suguang, okay? Really, it's just a name, I've never seen you react so strongly before!"
Seeing a flash of hurt on Xia Yunhe's pretty face, Su Guang hurriedly comforted her like a normal sister: "It was the past. I was young and didn't understand this. Now I don't think it sounds good. Sister, let's not talk about it. How are you? After not seeing you for so long, why are you still so frail? Does the prince need you to eat and drink?"
Xia Yunhe glared at Su Guang in reproach. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could the prince be short of me for food and drink? I'm doing fine in the palace, but I'm bored. Now that you're here, can you keep me company? Oh, by the way, I heard that you were poisoned. Is that true?"
As she was about to strip Su Guang of her clothes, Su Guang grabbed her by the front of her clothes and stopped her. "Sister, don't you think about what I do? Injury and poisoning are not uncommon. There's no need to make a fuss. It's okay, it's just a minor injury. But you are still so thin. This is not good. You need to eat more. If you are too thin, how can you marry the prince in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yunhe immediately covered Su Guang's mouth like a frightened quail, with her eyebrows raised and glaring at him angrily.
"You silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? What about marrying the prince? Don't you see what my status is? It's already a favor from the prince that I can live here, and you dare to let me think about something unrealistic? Su Guang, don't say such nonsense in the future. Do you understand?"
Su Guang pulled Xia Yunhe's hand away in dissatisfaction, "Sister, why are you still so timid? What do you mean by nonsense? Unrealistic? Don't you think about how many years you have lived in the palace? As an unmarried woman living in the palace, shouldn't the prince give you an identity?"
"This is what you deserve. If it weren't for him, would you be where you are now?"
Xia Yunhe was stunned for a moment, and her face instantly turned purple. "Suguang, this matter is not going to develop the way we want it to. Don't you know what the prince is like?"
"Besides, he just got married, how could he marry again? I am already satisfied to see him once a year, and I dare not even think about anything else."
"What do you mean you don't dare to think about it? Sister, you have reached the age of marriage and can get married. If you continue to waste time like this, you will become an old maid. What do you mean you are satisfied with seeing him once a year?"
"Looking at my sister's appearance, marrying him is not marrying up. Doesn't he even look at what kind of woman he married? How dare he compare her with my sister? Even if my sister can't become the principal princess, she is more than qualified to be a concubine!"
"If you don't tell me, I will tell you. I won't believe that this is how His Majesty the Phoenix King repays his lifesaver."
Seeing that Suguang was really going to the lobby, Xia Yunhe grabbed his arm in panic and stared at him in disbelief: "Suguang, are you still my brother Suguang? How did you become like this?"
"Suguang, don't forget our identities. We are servants. Even if I accidentally saved the prince, I have lived in the palace for these years, with food and drink, and you have been carefully trained by the prince. No matter how great the favor is, he has already repaid it."
"I am greedy and I am still here just to see him more. But other than that, I really don't dare to think too much. I am afraid that if I expect too much, I will be more disappointed in the end."
"But what about you? How can you be so arrogant and conceited, always mentioning the words savior? How did I teach you before? How did you survive until now when you can't even correct your attitude?"
Xia Yunhe had never expected that her brother would become so arrogant. The joy she had just felt when they met was immediately washed away by the fear that followed. His face turned as pale as a ghost because of worry.
"Did you really just speak to the princess like this?"
"What princess? Is she worthy?"
Xia Yunhe's heart sank little by little, and she looked at Su Guang with disappointment in her eyes, "How could you be like this? How could you become like this? Su Guang, you have changed so much that I don't even recognize you. It's a miracle that you can still live until now, a miracle!"
She finally understood why the prince had left him to Ling Yuan. With such a temper, how could he continue to serve in the palace?
Especially, "Tell me honestly, how did you get poisoned?"
Su Guang frowned, his expression arrogant and angry: "How else could he be poisoned? He was poisoned during the mission!"
Seeing that he was not telling the truth, Xia Yunhe lost the desire to continue asking questions. Looking at her brother, her heartache gradually turned into loss.
Su Guang was beaten back like this by the prince. I'm afraid he will never be able to make a comeback in the future.
She didn't blame them for this. Even she could see that this kid was no longer of any use and might even bring them a lot of unnecessary trouble. What's more, Wei Jie was always strict in employing people?
She was just a little herself unwilling. Thinking about her hopes for many years, which turned into dreams in the end, Xia Yunhe laughed at.
"Sister, what are you laughing at?"
Xia Yunhe glanced at her brother whom she had been thinking about day and night. She had a lot to say, but finally she let out a heavy sigh: "Suguang, shall we leave here?"
Su Guang was so shocked by Xia Yunhe's sudden words that his jaw almost dropped to the ground, "Sister, what are you talking about? Why are you leaving when everything is fine?"
Xia Yunhe looked at his fearless face, and her face instantly turned as dark as earth: "Do you think there is any reason for us to stay?"
"How could there be none? Because my sister saved his life, and because I worked hard for him for so many years, isn't that enough?"
"Haha, this again, Suguang, ah Suguang, I finally realized why you became like this. Over the years, you must have often mentioned this so-called lifesaver, right?"
Su Guang snorted coldly, looking unconcerned, "Isn't this the truth?"
Xia Yunhe's voice trembled when she heard this: "So, the people around you give in to you and flatter you, and your vanity has been inflated, so you have become more arrogant and look down on others, isn't that right?"
"Sister, why are you doing this? They should treat us like this, right? Look at me, why am I like this? Isn't it because I risked my life for him? How many marks are there on my body? Are they all caused by injuries during missions? Is this what we deserve?"
Xia Yunhe felt her temples swelling as she listened to her brother's unreasonable words. She stared at him until her eyes almost popped out.
With a "slap", Xia Yunhe finally couldn't help herself and slapped him: "How dare you say these words? You are stupid, stupid! What do you mean by working for the prince? You are working for yourself, do you understand?"
"The prince gave you a chance to make a name for yourself! But what did you do? You have been bullying others for so many years? No wonder you have achieved nothing until now, no wonder you are so arrogant now, you simply, simply deserve to die!"
Su Guang was slapped unexpectedly, his eyes widened, he covered his face and looked at his sister in disbelief.
"Sister, you hit me? I'm your only brother, and you hit me?"
Xia Yunhe was so angry that she was shaking like a sieve. "I hit you? I wish I could strangle you to death, Xia Suguang, you disappoint me so much, you disappoint me so much!"
Su Guang glared at his sister angrily and was about to refute her when he heard Xia Yunhe lower her eyes and said solemnly, "Haha, if I had known this would be the result, I shouldn't have used someone else's fame to bring you into the Phoenix Palace."
"Sister, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Haha, what do you mean? Do you really believe that eight years ago, when I was only seven years old, I was able to save the seriously injured prince?"
"Why not? Sister, you learned medical skills from Dad..."
"Why don't you continue? Huh? Why don't you continue? What's the point of me learning from my father? What's my strength? What's my strength at the age of seven? What can he, a traveling doctor, teach me?"
"When we rescued the prince, he had already been bandaged and the poison in his body had been removed. If we talk about our achievements, the best we did was to move him from the pile of dead bodies to our home. Other than that, we have no other achievements."
