"It's you?"
It's no wonder Lan Jingtang was surprised; the person who appeared in the tent was none other than Yi Chenli.
He knocked out the guard at the door and came alone.
"Surprised?"
"Dr. Lan, being under house arrest must be a painful experience, right?"
"Sixth Prince, the feeling of poison invading your lungs and internal organs must be unpleasant."
The moment the two met, their first reaction was to argue, mercilessly reopening old wounds.
After their exchange of barbs, the two fell silent again.
Their relationship is complex; they are enemies, yet also formidable adversaries.
"Is there really no other way? Otherwise, given your pride, you would never have come to me."
"Mm," Yi Chenli replied briefly.
"Sixth Prince, can't you at least show some attitude when asking for a favor?" It was clearly Yi Chenli who needed his help, but some people seemed to be born unable to ask for favors.
Upon entering, Yi Chenli went straight into the room, poured himself a cup of tea, and acted as if this tent was his own home.
Yi Chenli raised his eyes, his dark eyes flashing with intense and complex emotions. He sighed, "Lan Jingtang, if I am lucky enough to survive this time, leave Yi Chenxuan and come to me. I can let you unleash your full potential, whatever you want to do."
If it was a request, Yi Chenli's request was more like an invitation.
A belated invitation; from their first meeting, they already had mutual admiration in their eyes.
They should be collaborators, not adversaries.
Yi Chenli never invited anyone, but Lan Jingtang was the first.
Yi Chenxuan's nature is inherently at odds with Lan Jingtang's pursuit. Lan Jingtang endured again and again to repay his debt of gratitude, but eventually, he would explode.
Yi Chenli was patient, waiting for this moment to arrive. Clearly, this was an excellent opportunity.
"The Crown Prince is certainly not a good person, but have you ever been kind?" Lan Jingtang questioned.
Yi Chenli chuckled: "I didn't dare say it before, but now, doing evil doesn't make me feel good anymore. I've already received the best. I'm willing to be a good person for her sake."
This is the tyrant's piety, and also his enlightenment. Half his life was filled with bloodshed, yet he was willing to lay down his sword and walk towards the light.
This disaster relief effort is just the beginning.
Seeing the smile in Yi Chenli's eyes, Lan Jingtang clenched his fists, feeling a mix of jealousy and envy.
Ultimately, Yi Chenli possessed what he most desired but could not obtain.
"Yi Chenli, I think it's better if you die. Only when you're dead will others have a chance." Lan Jingtang said irritably, but his hand still reached for Yi Chenli's pulse.
His death is just a matter of life and death, but that little girl will be heartbroken for him.
Lan Jingtang couldn't bear to see her cry, couldn't stand her tears.
Lan Jingtang is stubborn but soft-hearted. She is extremely jealous of the man in front of her, but she still chooses to do everything she can to save him.
This is the unique protection and tenderness belonging to Lan Jingtang. He is not saving the man in front of him, but saving the person in his heart.
Lan Jingtang carefully examined Yi Chenli's pulse, his brows furrowed the entire time.
"You... the poison has reached your heart, you're already at your last gasp."
Lan Jingtang couldn't believe it. The person in front of him was chatting and laughing freely, but his body was so weak that it couldn't be weaker.
His body had reached its limit.
No wonder he came looking for him; he was probably his last hope.
Yi Chenli calmly asked, "Do you have a solution?"
Lan Jingtang stood up somewhat impatiently: "I'm a doctor, not the King of Hell. I can't snatch a life from the King of Hell."
