"I knew you were upset, but you never said anything. You don't know that I am even more upset than you." Xiao An complained, paused, and whispered again. "Tell me, is there something wrong with His Highness?"
Pang Yi was stunned. He did not try to pry Xiao An's hand away. He let her hold him like this, and after a pause, he nodded.
"Did something really happen?" Xiao Anshi was also anxious. "What happened to your highness? Wasn't he fine before?"
Xiao An never asked Pang Yi about Zhong Mingwei, but every time they met, Pang Yi was always smiling. Sometimes he would tell Xiao An that Zhong Mingwei's legs had recovered. So at this time, Xiao An was also very surprised. How could something go wrong? And looking at Pang Yi's sad face, it must be a big deal.
"What happened?" Xiao An asked again. "Didn't you busy buying a house a while ago? You said you were going to marry that...that girl? What went wrong now?"
"Your Highness... is not feeling well." Pang Yi didn't want to say it. But he wanted to tell Xiao Anshi. He was very depressed these days. He had been struggling to hold on, but he couldn't tell anyone what was in his heart. So at this time, facing Xiao Anshi who looked concerned, Pang Yi finally told her.
"Why isn't he feeling better?" Xiao An asked in surprise, "Didn't you say a few days ago that his highness's legs and feet were recovering quickly? And Mr. Gu from Yanshe is treating him. Of course, he is infallible. Why is he suddenly feeling worse again? What's wrong with him?"
"Your Highness... was poisoned in the capital before," Pang Yi said with difficulty. At this point, he suddenly slammed the table beside him and said with gritted teeth, "I don't know if he is a fool who dares to poison Your Highness! If he falls into my hands in the future, I will cut him into pieces!"
"Poisoned? How is it possible?!" Xiao An was shocked and was speechless for a long time before she frowned and said, "It's impossible. Your Highness is the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. Who would be so bold as to poison Your Highness? And Your Highness usually has someone test the food for poison in advance. If it was poisonous, it would have been discovered long ago. How come you only discovered the poison now?"
"What if it's a chronic poison? What if the poison is colorless and odorless? How could it be discovered?" Pang Yi sighed, "If it weren't for Mr. Gu's extensive knowledge, I'm afraid he wouldn't have noticed that there was something wrong with your Highness' pulse."
"What kind of poison did Your Highness take?" Xiao An asked anxiously, "Will it... endanger his life?"
Pang Yi naturally would not tell Xiao An what kind of poison Zhong Mingwei was poisoned with. This was the biggest secret of Zhong Mingwei's life. Even if he and Xiao An were in such a relationship now, he would never reveal a word. Pang Yi said in a deep voice: "It won't endanger his life, but there will be endless troubles."
Xiao An knew that Pang Yi was not in a position to talk much, so she did not ask any more questions. She just sat with Pang Yi in silence for a while. After a while, Xiao An could not help herself and asked again, "Don't we have a miracle doctor like Mr. Gu? He can cure the disease and Your Highness will be healthy. Why do you have to be so sad all day long?"
Pang Yi pursed his lips bitterly. If Gu Changlin could really cure illnesses with medicine, how could His Highness have been in a coma for so many days after catching a cold? His Highness was discouraged, and he was also... discouraged.
Pang Yi thought about the scene this morning when Zhong Mingwei called him into the room and asked him to transfer the title deed of Nanshan Villa to Mei Ya's name. For a moment, his heart was filled with sorrow.
He knew that Zhong Mingwei had made a decision. He knew that it was a difficult decision that had to be made. He also knew that it was a decision that he, as a subordinate, had no say in. However, he was still extremely sad, for the desperate and helpless Zhong Mingwei, and for Mei Ya who was still unaware.
If Zhong Mingwei could never be happy again, then he himself...
Pang Yi froze and paused. He glanced at Xiao An. He looked at her delicate face, the soft white hand holding his, and the red coral bracelet on her snow-white wrist...
He suddenly pushed Xiao An's hand away and stood up.
"What's wrong?" Xiao An looked at Pang Yi in confusion. She also stood up with Pang Yi and asked with concern, "Are we going back?"
