They should have been rivals, opposites, but by chance, they were able to briefly share the same space.
They were both principled and knew how to distinguish between different situations. At least at this moment, one was the doctor and the other was the patient.
Lan Jingtang likes intelligent and straightforward people. Yi Chenli is decisive in his actions and speaks incisively. Although Lan Jingtang is unwilling to admit it, he does appreciate such people.
Yi Chenli rarely encountered someone who dared to challenge him and not be afraid of him.
If possible, one of them could be the most ruthless monarch, and the other the most astute strategist.
If these two work together, what great things cannot be accomplished?
Unfortunately, they knew in their hearts that this was impossible.
Lan Jingtang examined Yi Chenli's legs and asked with a puzzled look, "Your legs are in much better condition than I expected. What have you been doing all these years?"
Yi Chenli threw a medical book directly in front of Lan Jingtang.
When Lan Jingtang opened it, he found it to be a rare copy of the Lan family's medical book, which contained some methods for treating the early stages of leg ailments.
This medical book was filled with tiny print and notes, and Lan Jingtang recognized the handwriting as An Yuan'er's.
"You probably don't want to believe it, but there really is a fool in this world who would believe what a medical book says and follow its instructions every day. I had given up on these crippled legs myself a few years ago, but a little fool told me that there was hope."
Lan Jingtang knew perfectly well who the fool Yi Chenli was talking about was!
My heart was filled with bitterness and frustration.
Lan Jingtang said indignantly, "Yi Chenli, you really have the ability to make people jealous. You have her favoritism, so you've lived a worthwhile life."
Lan Jingtang said, "This medical book is indeed the only one of its kind in my Lan family. It can cure leg ailments by following the treatment in this book. However, the key ingredient recorded in this book can only be found in the Lan family, which means that only I have it."
"Blue Jade Bone-Mending Ointment?"
"Yes. Your legs have been well maintained over the years with medication and massage. With the use of Lanyu Duanxu Ointment and proper care, you will be fully recovered in less than three years."
Upon hearing that it could be restored to its original state, Yi Chenli could barely control his wildly beating heart.
The things I only dared to dream about are finally coming true today.
Even though he was usually calm, there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
Lan Jingtang thought for a moment and said, "Sixth Prince, I can heal you. However, I want you to exchange it for something you cherish."
Before Lan Jingtang could say what it was, Yi Chenli immediately denied it: "Impossible."
Lan Jingtang coaxed, "You should know what having both legs intact means to you. With the Sixth Prince's talent, what is there to worry about in achieving his ambition? Are the throne, beauties, and jewels not as valuable as this?"
“Priceless. How can mundane things compare to it? If my legs were intact and she were not there to witness it, I wouldn’t be overjoyed. Lan Jingtang, this is the last time I’ll allow you to provoke me.” Yi Chenli’s expression was cold, and his words carried a hint of impatience.
Lan Jingtang didn't know whether to be happy or worried!
The good thing is that Xiao Yuan'er didn't misplace her affections, and Yi Chenli never used her as a bargaining chip. The bad thing is that it's as difficult as climbing to heaven for him to have her.
After a long silence, Lan Jingtang finally relented: "I promised her I would heal your leg and fulfill her wish. Whether your leg is healed or not is not important to me. But I cannot bear not to fulfill her wish."
"Even though she doesn't love me now, at least I can make her owe me a debt of gratitude, and I'm willing to do that."
Without saying another word, Lan Jingtang began to prepare the prescription.
