Shameless!
They lie to kids every day!
Yuan Yao suppressed her anger and said with dissatisfaction, "What are you trying to do now?"
First they poisoned her, then threatened her with the antidote; now they've taken Yun Chan's antidote and are using Yun Chan to threaten her...
Yes, it was threatening her!
What "deal"? It was all coerced by him unilaterally!
Xie Ning carefully put away the medicine and, as was his habit, flicked his sleeves, only to realize that he was now wearing a palace maid's outfit with gathered cuffs...
After coughing lightly, Xie Ning said, "I've said before that I want to cure my brother. If you do me a favor, I'll cure Yun Chan for you."
Curing a nine-thousand-year-old?
Yuan Yao frowned: "What illness does my father have? Is it serious?"
"My brother..." Xie Ning scratched his head, then tried to change the subject.
"Xie Ning!" Yuan Yao gritted her teeth and called his name softly.
"Shh..." Xie Ning raised his hand to cover Yuan Yao's mouth, looked around a few times, and said, "I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"
Don't call my name, otherwise, if someone hears it and tells my brother, he will surely break my legs and throw me out of the Great Qi Kingdom.
“Hmm…” Yuan Yao puffed out her cheeks and glared at him.
Let me go!
Xie Ning squatted down and said softly, "My brother was forced to enter the palace and be castrated because of me..."
Over the years, I have traveled with my master everywhere in order to improve my medical skills and cure my brother…
Father... is he really a eunuch?
Was it Xie Ning who caused it?
No wonder he loathed Xie Ning so much!
Xie Ning seemed somewhat dazed, her voice soft and slow: "My elder brother was once a young master from a prestigious family, exceptionally talented and handsome, and a prodigy in his youth..."
The late emperor was cruel. That year, a palace coup occurred, and the crown prince died of poisoning. My father, as the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, was implicated, and his entire family of more than one hundred people was executed.
At that time, only my mother, brother and I, who were away visiting relatives, survived.
During our escape, my mother and I were captured and fell into the hands of the fourth prince.
The fourth prince, who had long harbored jealousy and hatred towards his elder brother, told his mother that if she wanted him to live, she should exchange him for his brother…
Back then, I was only five years old, while my older brother was already ten years and three.
My mother doted on me and worried that I was too young to survive if I fell into the hands of the fourth prince, so she threatened my brother with her own life, demanding that he come and exchange me for him...
Later, my brother came as promised, and in return, my mother and I were brought back…
By the end, Xie Ning was sobbing uncontrollably.
Yuan Yao felt a sharp pain in her heart as she listened.
Her own mother risked her life to force her to bring her younger brother back, but she herself fell into the hands of her enemies and suffered endless torment...
No wonder...
No wonder the Ninth Prince dislikes Xie Ning so much.
A spirited young man becomes a prisoner of his enemy, and then a eunuch despised by everyone...
She was sent in by her own birth mother!
If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't have survived!
Yuan Yao's eyes stung, and two lines of tears fell.
She felt wronged for her father, and even more heartbroken for him...
Xie Ning's eyes reddened slightly: "I want my brother to become a normal man again. Yao'er, are you willing to help your uncle?"
Let the Ninth Prince... become a normal man again?
Yuan Yao wiped her eyes and asked, "Are you... really okay with this?"
This sounds absolutely unbelievable!
Xie Ning pursed her lips: "I have to try..."
“No!” Yuan Yao said immediately.
Don't do things you're not sure about!
If it fails, it would be a second blow to the Ninth Prince!
Such humiliation is enough to last a lifetime!
Thinking it over, Yuan Yao said, "If you are not 100% sure, I cannot agree to this!"
Even if I die from the poison, I won't let you harm my father!
"You..." Xie Ning looked at her with surprise and disapproval: "Don't you want your father to become a normal man, to get married and have children?"
The Nine Thousand Years Old Married and Had Children...
Thinking of that scene, Yuan Yao felt a pang of sadness.
She told the truth: "I don't really want to."
"You..." Xie Ning was both angry and amused, and wanted to point her finger at her: "You are just my brother's adopted daughter. Do you want to monopolize him for the rest of your life?"
Yuan Yao raised her little face and said firmly, "Father has his own freedom, and Yao'er will not monopolize him forever!"
But Yao'er felt that no woman in this world was worthy of him!
Upon hearing this, Xie Ning's eyes trembled slightly.
Yes, even though his elder brother became a eunuch, he was as pure as a gentle breeze and a bright moon, how could he be easily tainted by ordinary women?
Perhaps, turning his brother into a normal man was just his own obsession.
An obsession that has lasted too long and taken root has eroded him.
Xie Ning pursed her lips slightly, raised her hand, and touched her white hair, which had been dyed black with medication...
A moment later, Xie Ning lowered his hands and picked Yuan Yao up from the ground: "Let's go to Chaoyun Palace."
Xie Ning's embrace was different from that of the Ninth Prince. He was too thin and too frail, and his embrace was a bit rough and not soft at all.
However, Yuan Yao did not resist.
Chaoyun Palace remained quiet.
After entering the Pillow Star Palace, Yuan Yao took out the ginseng soup and then had someone deliver the contents of the food box to A Qi.
The imperial physician had just taken Yun Chan's pulse when he saw Yuan Yao and bowed, saying, "I heard there was an accident at the Imperial Academy. Is the princess alright? Perhaps I could take her pulse for her?"
"Thank you, Physician." Yuan Yao said obediently, "Father saved me in time. I was not injured and there was no need to take my pulse."
"But how is Yun Chan today?"
The imperial physician replied, "Strangely enough, after the princess visited the young prince yesterday, his condition seemed to stabilize and did not worsen as expected..."
"Really?" Yuan Yao asked, somewhat delighted. "Does that mean he'll get better soon?"
The imperial physician shook his head: "It's hard to say."
The light in Yuan Yao's eyes went out instantly.
In ancient times, there were no antibiotics, and surgery was not possible...
Can Yun Chan endure this dragging on?
He's still so young...
“Princess…” Xie Ning suddenly spoke up from the side.
Yuan Yao turned to look at him.
Xie Ning glanced at the imperial physician, then said, "Please excuse me, imperial physician, and go out to rest. I will take care of the little prince."
The imperial physician nodded: "Call me if you need anything."
After speaking, he summoned the palace servants waiting inside the hall, and the imperial physician went out.
Seeing this, Yuan Yao also spoke into the air: "Po Yue, you go outside and keep watch, don't let anyone get close to Zhenxing Palace, and you can't either."
"Yes." A cold voice came from the air.
After everyone had left, Xie Ning poured out a pill from a small porcelain bottle in his pocket.
Looking at the dark brown pill, a glimmer of light appeared in Yuan Yao's eyes.
Xie Ning said, "Yao'er, your uncle saved the person for you. You owe your uncle a favor, which you will have to repay in the future."
"Okay, I've got it!" Yuan Yao replied in her childish voice.
Hearing this, Xie Ning patted her head and said, "Good girl!"
After speaking, he walked to the bedside, deftly pinched Yun Chan's chin, forced him to open his mouth, and fed him the medicine.
A moment later, Xie Ning, as if by magic, took a soft bag from his waist, laid it out, and revealed a row of needles, knives, threads, and other items that gleamed with a chilling silver light.
Yuan Yao gasped, "What's wrong with you?"
Xie Ning smiled brightly: "Cutting flesh, scraping bones, healing wounds..."
