Chapter 70 I Like Women
Jiang Wan Ning yawned as she studied under Yu Hai's guidance.
"Ningning, it's rare to see you looking so sleepy. Did something happen at the manor yesterday?"
Shen Ruzhi leaned back in her recliner, holding a new drink that Yu Hai had been researching, and rocking back and forth on the chair with her feet.
How pleasant!
Jiang Wan Ning rubbed her eyes and yawned while covering her mouth.
Peony, quick to speak, took a big gulp of her drink and told most of the story.
Everyone in this courtyard is someone the young lady can trust; there's nothing she can't say.
Shen Ruzhi suddenly sat up. "That does sound strange," she said, then added after a moment's thought, "Do you think it's possible that they meet through the tunnel every time?"
"Could that man outside, Aunt Liu, be Zhang Mama's brother?"
Jiang Wan Ning nodded; Shen Ru Zhi's words made sense.
"I've already sent people to keep an eye on the tunnel entrance." That's the only possibility now.
Although Jiang Wanning spoke, she was still puzzled. In her previous life, Jiang Wanru had clearly said that they had always lived in the Marquis's mansion.
They were deeply in love right under their noses.
Perhaps what Jiang Wanru was referring to was going in and out of the tunnel every day.
Aunt Liu is now seriously injured, and the location of the tunnel has been determined. All we need to do now is send someone to keep a close watch on it.
“If you ask me, it would be better to just tell your father,” Shen Ruzhi said.
“No.” Jiang Wan Ning shook her head. “Without evidence, even if my parents believe it, what if Aunt Liu turns the tables and accuses me?”
"It's bad for the Marquis's mansion and for Father's official reputation."
“That’s true.” Shen Ruzhi stood up and pulled Jiang Wanning, “Since you’re already so tired today, why don’t we just skip the lessons?”
"Go check how business is at the store."
As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Wan Ning out. The shop had been open for several days, but Jiang Wan Ning hadn't been there since the opening day.
Besides the shopkeeper, Yu Hai was the only one keeping an eye on things.
"Alright then." Jiang Wan Ning put down the medicinal herbs in her hand.
"Would Your Highness like to come along?" Jiang Wan Ning asked, turning her head.
Pei Yanchuan said calmly, "I have other matters to attend to. You may proceed."
“Oh, Your Highness is so busy with state affairs, how can you be with me all the time? I’ll keep you company.” Shen Ruzhi said, pulling Jiang Wan Ning along quickly.
Yu Hai glanced at Pei Yanchuan and said, "Well, you guys go ahead. I'm a bit tired today, so I won't go."
After the two left, Yu Hai withdrew the corners of his mouth from his mouth and sat down next to Pei Yanchuan.
Without saying a word, he took Pei Yanchuan's hand and began to take his pulse.
Mo Ran gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and said coldly, "Insolence!"
Pei Yanchuan looked up and stopped Mo Ran.
After taking Mo Ran's pulse, Yu Hai slowly opened his eyes, looked at Mo Ran, and said seriously and sternly, "Miss Jiang saved my life."
"She is the one I love, and I will do everything in my power to save her."
Yu Hai was actually trying to explain that he was still a modern person at heart, with modern thoughts and actions.
The first reaction upon seeing a patient in distress is to check on them, rather than consulting with superiors first and then checking on them, as was the case in ancient times.
But the words changed when they reached the tip of his tongue.
It's too complicated to explain.
"This king believes in Mr. [name]."
"Sir, may you let go now?"
Yu Hai then realized that he had been gripping Pei Yanchuan's arm tightly the whole time, and although he was being stubborn, his legs were shaking like a sieve.
That's a knife, and it's from ancient times.
A place where people can just cut off someone's head without hesitation.
Yu Hai quickly withdrew his hand. "That...cough cough...that."
"The prince's body is already at its limit."
"We need to find it quickly..."
Before he could finish speaking, Pei Yanchuan raised his eyes to signal him to shut up.
Yu Hai turned around and saw an old man walk in.
It was the divine physician, Doctor Qian, whom the Emperor had bestowed upon Pei Yanchuan.
Mo Ran also gripped the hilt of his knife and stepped back to the side.
A young boy followed behind Dr. Qian, carrying a tray.
"Your Highness."
Dr. Qian bowed in greeting.
"What is it?"
"His Majesty has instructed me to take good care of the Prince's health. If the Prince doesn't take his medicine soon, I'm afraid..."
Dr. Qian didn't finish speaking.
Yu Hai asked, "What medicine?"
Doctor Qian knew Yu Hai's identity: "This is the medicine that His Majesty went through great lengths to find for the Prince, a medicine that can save the Prince's life."
Yu Hai glanced at Pei Yanchuan, "May I take a look?"
"What? Do you doubt the Emperor?!" Doctor Qian suddenly said in a deep voice.
Yu Hai: ...This is an exchange, how did it become a suspicion?
Pei Yanchuan said: "Mo Ran."
"yes."
Mo Ran took the porcelain bottle from the tray and handed it to Pei Yanchuan.
"I will take the medicine; you may leave."
“Your Highness,” Doctor Qian stepped forward to pour tea, “I should wait until Your Highness has finished taking your medicine before taking your pulse.”
"Your Majesty is concerned about the Prince's health, and I must inform Your Majesty of this."
Mo Ran tightened his grip on the knife hilt, and Pei Yanchuan raised his hand to stop him.
Yu Hai's matter also revealed some clues.
Pei Yanchuan's lips curled into a cold smile, and with a slight flick of his thumb, a 'bang' sounded.
The lid of the porcelain bottle brushed against Doctor Qian's sleeve and flew towards the willow tree behind him.
Startled, Dr. Qian took two steps back before regaining his balance.
Pei Yanchuan poured out one of the pills and put it in his mouth.
He then placed his hand on the stone table and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Doctor Qian."
Although it was easy to get Pei Yanchuan to take the medicine, and Pei Yanchuan behaved as usual, Doctor Qian felt a strange sense of fear.
Her hand trembled as she placed it on Pei Yanchuan's wrist.
After a long pause, he said, "I will report the truth to His Majesty. I will take my leave now."
Pei Yanchuan nodded slightly.
After Doctor Qian left, Yu Hai couldn't wait to take Pei Yanchuan's pulse again.
This time, she even pulled open Pei Yanchuan's clothes at the chest, put her ear close to his chest, and listened to Pei Yanchuan's heartbeat.
Pei Yanchuan frowned slightly, but did not dodge.
Mo Ran saw this scene as soon as she came in after seeing Doctor Qian off, and her eyes widened in surprise.
Yu Hai lay on Pei Yanchuan's chest for about half an incense stick's time before sitting back down. "Your Highness, I was in a hurry just now, please forgive me."
Pei Yanchuan remained silent.
Yu Hai added, "Um... I like women."
Pei Yanchuan reached out and tugged at his collar, straightening it slightly.
Yu Hai touched his nose. "Your medical equipment here is really scarce, this is all I can do..."
"Young Master Yu, let's get down to business," Pei Yanchuan couldn't help but remind him.
Yu Hai breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you understand."
"What medicine did he just give you? Can I take a look at it?"
Pei Yanchuan glanced at Mo Ran,
Mo Ran took out the medicine from his pocket.
"The prince just took ordinary tonics; the medicine from Doctor Qian's place has been secretly switched."
Pei Yanchuan can take this medicine, but only if he is willing to take it himself, and not if he is coerced.
Yu Hai: People in ancient times were indeed cunning.
With a heart full of sorrow, she took the pill, held it to her nose, and smelled it.
He then placed it on the table and crushed it with a teacup, examining it carefully for a while.
“There’s another poison in this,” Yu Hai said bluntly. “Taking it will temporarily control your condition.”
"But you will suffer a million times more than you do now, and it will also shorten your lifespan."
"Once the medication stops, you won't have a chance of survival."
