Chapter 17: The General's Pet (17)



Fu Yanci hadn't expected that the prince would come to him to discuss this matter. He was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "Yes."

Seeing his reaction as if he was carrying out an order, the prince shook his head helplessly.

"Yan Ci, feelings need to be expressed. If you just blindly obsess over her and think about her in your heart, but pretend to be indifferent and unconcerned on the surface, how can she know your feelings?"

"I can see that the person she has eyes for right now is you, but even the most passionate heart will eventually turn cold. If you don't change, you'll push her further away sooner or later."

"When she leaves you, filled with disappointment, there will be no turning back between you. Is this the outcome you want?"

Fu Yanci pursed his thin lips and clenched his hands into fists under his sleeves.

The thought of her leaving him made his heart hurt as if it were being pricked by a needle.

The prince stood with his hands behind his back, clearly feeling the anger, unwillingness and fear coming from the side.

He didn't say anything, giving Fu Yanci enough time to struggle, to think, and to make a decision.

After a long time, Fu Yanci's fists slowly loosened, and the anger in his body gradually dissipated.

He looked straight ahead with a calm expression.

"The poison in me is still there. If I confess my feelings to her, it will not bring happiness to her but a burden."

He didn't know when the toxins in his body would relapse, nor did he know how long he could stay with her.

One year? Six months? Three months?

He didn't dare to gamble, nor did he want to delay her life because of his unknowns.

Fu Yanci took a deep breath and used all his strength to speak the next words.

He said, "If she finds someone she can entrust her life to, I will divorce her and let her go."

The prince turned his head and looked at him. He didn't seem surprised by the result. He understood Fu Yanci's concerns.

"Yanci, I understand your concerns. Even if you two divorce, how can you be sure that someone else can give her what you can't?"

"You saw what happened yesterday. In the inner mansions, there's so much intrigue and jealousy. How could you bear to send her to someone else and watch her suffer and be tortured?"

"Even if she finds someone to entrust her life to, how can you be sure that her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law will treat her well?"

"Yan Ci, this is also a huge gamble for her. Besides, everyone has the right to make their own choices. No one can make decisions for her in the name of doing what's best for her."

"I have said so much. I believe Yan Ci has made his own decision. Think about it carefully."

The prince patted Fu Yanci on the shoulder and continued walking forward.

Fu Yanci stood there without moving, his relaxed brows furrowed again.

At this moment, the prince suddenly stopped and said seriously: "Yanci, I will definitely find the last antidote for you."

As soon as the Prime Minister's carriage stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's residence, the butler hurried over and said, "Master, something terrible has happened! Something has happened in the shop!"

The Prime Minister lifted the curtain and asked, "What happened?"

"Master, our Anzhuang suddenly encountered an accident overnight and suffered heavy losses! Madam has fainted, Master, please go back and check on her!"

The Prime Minister's eyelids twitched and he hurriedly jumped off the carriage and strode towards the mansion.

As soon as he stepped into the mansion, a guard came over hurriedly.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, something terrible has happened! There's been a riot in the south of the city, saying they're dissatisfied with the new laws you've introduced!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another officer and soldier ran over.

"Your Excellency, there's an incident in prison!"

"Master, Master!"

The prime minister finally couldn't bear all these twists and turns, and he passed out!

On the other side, Jiang Jingyu returned to the general's mansion around noon.

She saw a lot of things on the street, and Xiu'er and Xiaodie's hands were full.

"Xiaodie, take the things back to Biluozhai. Xiuer, come with me to see grandma."

"Yes, young lady."

When Jiang Jingyu and Xiu'er arrived at the old lady's yard, Fu Yanci was also there.

Hearing the low voices of conversation coming from the room, Jiang Jingyu subconsciously slowed down her footsteps and turned to make a gesture to Xiu'er to keep quiet.

"Yanci, this is a matter between you and Jingyu. Grandmother shouldn't interfere, but it's great that you can let it go now."

"Grandmother believes we can find the final antidote. Let's have the palace doctor examine you later. We can't stop using the palace medicine. The remaining poison in your body hasn't been cleared yet. You must not be careless, understand?"

Jiang Jingyu narrowed her eyes. Is the poison still there?

Could it be that he has been suppressing his feelings because of the residual poison in his body?

Jiang Jingyu could sense Fu Yanci's disguise, but she didn't know why. Now it seems that it was probably because of the residual poison in his body.

"Xiao Dongdong, are there any antidote pills in the mall?"

[Replying to the host, our continuous pregnancy system is also called the Aoao Awesome System. Things like detoxification pills are a must!]

"Can you remove the remaining poison from Brother Yanci's body?"

[Anything produced by the system is a masterpiece. Not to mention residual poison, even if it's just been poisoned, it will still be effective!]

"One."

Jiang Jingyu didn't hesitate.

[Hehe, the detoxification pills have been distributed, 500 points deducted! ]

Jiang Jingyu had an extra pill in her hand, and she waited until the conversation in the room stopped before she walked in.

"Grandma, I'm back."

Jiang Jingyu greeted him first before pushing the door open and walking in. When she saw Fu Yanci, she feigned surprise: "Brother Yanci is here too?"

Fu Yanci met her gaze and no longer avoided it.

The moment he made the decision, the hand that had been shackled his heart disappeared, and he could finally face his own feelings.
