Xiao Zhaoming seemed not to notice the gazes of others and asked, "What do you need to do?"
Mr. Wu said as if he was treating a very common disease, "I need your eyes as a medicine guide. I will list the other herbs needed, and you can ask someone to find them. This method is to let the fate of the two of you complement each other, but Madam Shen needs to take good care of her body in the future and cannot experience any stimulation."
Shen Wanyue thought to herself, can she really survive now? I thought Mr. Wu would say something, but I didn't expect... Then why did he say there was no solution to me who was still Madam Li?
He was able to diagnose and treat it then, but this time it was different. Not to mention that there was Xiao Zhaoming by his side who could complement his fate.
"Your Majesty, please think carefully."
"Should we dig it now?" Xiao Zhaoming answered the question irrelevantly.
Mr. Wu: "...That's not necessary. Once we have collected all the herbs, we can take the prince's eyes."
"Young Master, please think twice... maybe there are other ways." Wen Yu lowered his voice, not caring about Chen Wanyue's presence, "For her, it's not worth it."
"There is only one way."
"As long as I am willing, it is worth it." Xiao Zhaoming said, "I have long since given up on this pair of eyes. I will eventually go blind, so I might as well use them to save lives."
In Wen Yu's heart, the prince has never been a person with great love. Perhaps he was moved by Madam Shen's rough fate.
The owner of the eyes agreed, so there was nothing he could do to persuade him.
The atmosphere was a bit depressing, but Wu Laifeng was busy writing the prescription.
The incident with Lady Li had dealt him a heavy blow, so he felt obliged to save her this time. But if he had known about Xiao Zhaoming's specialness at that time, would he have been able to save Lady Li?
It's too late to think about it anymore.
Shen Wanyue was happy that she survived.
Wen Yu took Mr. Wu out, leaving Shen Wanyue and Xiao Zhaoming alone in the room.
"Your Majesty..."
Xiao Zhaoming's eyes were a little evasive. Anyway, his eyes were going to be gone, so he didn't ask for protection now. He said, "No need to be grateful. I volunteered."
This is not what Chen Wanyue said: "The antidote for the poison has not been prepared yet, you may feel uncomfortable for a while. Don't worry, it will be delivered tomorrow."
"...Um." Xiao Zhaoming felt embarrassed.
At this moment, his head began to hurt again: "Hiss..."
She felt guilty for a rare moment, so she propped herself up and said, "My Lord, please lie down."
"What?"
"I'll give you a head massage."
After saying this, Xiao Zhaoming moved from the bench to the edge of the bed. He was very tall, so he could only lie half of his body on Shen Wanyue's legs, with his legs on the ground.
Chen Wanyue lowered her head, her hair resting on one shoulder. Because of the movement of lowering her head, a few strands of hair fell on his face. Her slender fingers slowly placed on his temples, gently rubbing in circles.
From Xiao Zhaoming's perspective, her eyes were filled with unspeakable pain and a hint of resentment. Her eyes were red due to coughing, and she looked so pitiful.
This made him think that saving her was the right choice. He didn't want her eyes to be filled with sadness anymore, he wanted her to survive, he wanted her to be happy.
Unconsciously, his bony hand reached behind Shen Wanyue's ear.
"Your Majesty?" Chen Wanyue looked at him suspiciously.
He tucked his scattered hair behind his ears: "Hair."
"oh."
Shen Wanyue's eyes dodged, she saw the emotions in his eyes.
She had seen that look in the eyes of other admirers.
Xiao Zhaoming did not deny his feelings, he said: "Madam Shen, I have one more thing to ask of you."
"....What?" Shen Wanyue regretted asking, she realized what the other party was going to say.
"If I lose my eyes, no woman in the capital will marry me."
"so what?"
A smile escaped from his throat: “So, Madam Shen, are you willing to marry me? Although I have a bad reputation, no official position, and have offended His Majesty, fortunately I am rich, and my properties are spread all over Dajing, so I will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future.”
"Heh." Chen Wanyue was amused by her and looked at the man on her lap with smiling eyes.
"My Lord, what do you like about me?"
Xiao Zhaoming couldn't explain it clearly. Maybe it was because he finally found someone with the same "fate" as him.
"I'll think about this question slowly."
"Your Highness, you haven't even thought clearly about why you like me, but you just said you want to marry me. Isn't that too casual?"
Xiao Zhaoming pursed his lips and said, "Marry me and stay by my side. Otherwise, by the time I figure out how to answer you, I'm afraid you'll be marrying someone else."
When Chen Wanyue heard this answer, the corners of her eyes slightly raised, and in an instant, her sorrow melted into this light smile: "Your Highness is really... selfish."
"Are you willing, Madam Shen?" It was a question, but Xiao Zhaoming would not give her a second option.
Chen Wanyue knew that even if she didn't die immediately, her future life would be a problem...
She gave the answer -
"Of course I am willing to do so."
"Mrs. Shen...ah! Who are you?"
The doctor, who had prepared the medicine, rushed into the room, not wanting to see this scene.
It is so disgraceful for a man to lie on Madam Shen's bed!
Chen Wanyue was calm and composed, and gently patted Xiao Zhaoming's shoulder on her leg: "My Lord, your antidote is here."
The latter calmed down.
After hearing Madam Shen's address to this person and this face appearing before him, he did not recover: "Prince..."
"Bring it here."
".....Be careful with the heat."
No wonder, no wonder he traveled thousands of miles to save a woman, so this is the reason.
The two of them didn't feel embarrassed, and the doctor didn't want to show an awkward expression, so he had to stand aside.
Some of the medicinal herbs listed by Mr. Wu are rare, but Xiao Zhaoming is in the medicinal herbs business, so finding these herbs is not difficult, but it takes some time.
Chen Wanyue's health has been getting worse over the past few days, and even breathing is a torture. Mr. Wu told her the reason: "You have overused your abilities, and your life span has been shortened. You must never use them again in the future."
"Understood."
Chen Wanyue now has trouble even sitting up. After Xiao Zhaoming came, he added some items to the room and even replaced the bed with silk quilts.
Every day when she woke up, she could see Xiao Zhaoming sitting next to her.
"Your Highness...If I can't make it, will you have a ghost marriage with me?" Her greatest pleasure every day now is to tease Xiao Zhaoming.
The other party answered without hesitation: "No."
"I won't let you die."
When people are dying, they always think a lot. Chen Wanyue said: "I don't have any feelings for you, won't the prince find it boring?"
"Relationships can be cultivated." Xiao Zhaoming was used to her asking strange questions. "As time goes by, the relationship grows stronger and the love becomes more lasting."
But he always answers patiently.
Shen Wanyue slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Xiao Zhaoming called her name softly: "Wanyue..."
She didn't respond.
Wen Yu came in from behind the screen at this time: "Sir, there is still one ingredient missing."
"Then send someone to look for it," he said calmly.
"yes."
The good thing was that after three days, all the herbs were finally found.
But Chen Wanyue has been getting sleepier lately, sometimes only awake for one or two hours a day.
That night, Mr. Wu called Xiao Zhaoming to the makeshift medicine room.
"Your Majesty, you can take the eyes today."
Xiao Zhaoming was not very emotional and said, "Okay."
"Drink this bowl of soup first. It won't hurt when I operate on you, but you will feel it."
"Just do it."
Wen Yu couldn't bear to watch it, but was afraid that Mr. Wu would do something, so he chose to stay.
.......
Shen Wanyue slept until the next morning, and as expected, Xiao Zhaoming was still sitting beside her.
The difference this time was that his eyes were wrapped in thick gauze and were seeping with blood.
She subconsciously wanted to stand up and take a look, but she slipped and fell forward: "!"
Fortunately, Xiao Zhaoming reached out to support him: "Would you like some water?"
"No, your eyes..."
"It has been taken down."
At this time, Mr. Wu came in with a bowl of medicine, and there was incense burning next to the tray: “Mrs. Shen finally woke up.”
Shen Wanyue's eyes were on Xiao Zhaoming, her eyelashes trembling, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist: "Does it hurt?"
The pity that could not be concealed quietly emanated from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"It doesn't hurt."
A tear fell from the corner of her eye: "How can it not hurt..."
When she was in Lu Zhiyao's body, she would feel it even if Doctor Lu gave her painkillers.
He didn't tell the truth. Mr. Wu's medicine suddenly lost its effect when his left eye was dug out and only his right eye was left. He endured the pain.
If Wen Yu hadn't discovered that his prince's palm was pierced by his fingernails, no one would have known.
Mr. Wu put the tray on the table: “Madam Shen, this method is witchcraft, you need to smell this incense, then take this pill, don’t eat or drink for an hour, and then drink the soup.”
"....good."
——
It was five days later when Chen Wanyue woke up again.
As expected, Xiao Zhaoming was sitting aside, holding a teacup in his hand, and gently wiping the edge of the cup with his fingers.
After hearing her movement, he finally smiled: "Finally woke up."
"What if I can't wake up?" Shen Wanyue asked this question very seriously.
Xiao Zhaoming said: "Kill Mr. Wu."
He smiled again and said, “Mrs. Shen, please don’t despise me for being blind and looking for another good husband.”
This is a joke.
Shen Wanyue replied: "No, never."
“Okay, Madam Shen, remember this.”
“Hua La La…”
They both looked out the window at the same time, and Xiao Zhaoming handed the teacup in his hand to Shen Wanyue.
It was raining outside, like washing away the dust on the ground, and also like washing away the filth in people's hearts.
