Chapter 35: The Sickly Prince (14)



One month later, at the Tenth Princess's residence.

A beautiful woman was lying quietly on the bed, her eyes and eyebrows were extremely fierce, but now she closed her eyes, lying there quietly, which was a rare tranquility.

"How did she end up like this?" Wen Xiuqi's gaze fell on Mu Ci, his handsome eyebrows tightly wrinkled together, and he sat on the edge of the bed.

"Of course it's because of you. If it weren't for you to treat the cold poison, how could Junior Sister end up like this now!" Bai Qingchen restrained his previous smile, with a look of anger and resentment.

In fact, he really didn't want to ask Wen Xiuqi to come over, but he respected his junior sister's choice. Since she chose this man, he needed to let this man know the truth.

Although seeing this person made him very uncomfortable.

When Wen Xiuqi heard this, his body froze. He had no idea that the person lying here unconscious could do this for him.

He had been suffering from the cold for so long, and after hearing so many hopeless diagnoses, he actually no longer had any hope of living for a few more years.

And the most unlikely person is the one who has done so much for him.

Wen Xiuqi's eyes were filled with complexity, making it hard to see clearly.

Bai Qingchen sneered when he saw this.

"As for the Emperor, try to keep it a secret for now. I, your junior sister, will come to the rescue."

Having said that, he walked out of the room.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with Mu Ci's body. This time, the journey to collect materials was unexpectedly smooth. Although he encountered many hardships along the way, fortunately, the final result was good. Now Mu Ci was unconscious, but it was because of excessive overdraft of internal energy.

But he just didn't want Wen Xiuqi to have an easy life. If he felt bad, then the man that his junior sister cherished so much wouldn't have an easy life either.

snort!

However, Bai Qingchen missed one thing, which is that Wen Xiuqi knew some medical skills.

He was just worried and confused. When Bai Qingchen called him to the room and saw Mu Ci lying unconscious on the bed, he was completely confused and lost all his rationality. He didn't even have time to think about anything else. His pupils shrank and he just felt dizzy.

Wen Xiuqi gently placed his hand on her pulse, feeling it quietly, and finally felt relieved.

Wen Xiuqi heaved a sigh of relief, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He looked like he had just been pulled out of the water. In order to check on Mu Ci's condition, he had used up his internal strength to accelerate the invasion of the cold poison, while also resisting the poison at the same time. He was extremely weak at the moment.

But fortunately, fortunately, she just overdrawn her internal energy.

Wen Xiuqi fixed his gaze on Mu Ci, from her eyebrows to the corners of her lips, sketching her with every stroke, wanting to remember her firmly in his heart. He looked at her quietly, and suddenly, he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, and even a kind of nostalgia for the tranquility of the moment.

Unable to help but reach out and touch that beautiful face, my hand stopped at the lips which looked slightly pale at the moment.

Wen Xiuqi's eyes darkened slightly, and a hint of complexity appeared on his handsome face.

He leaned forward slightly, and a few strands of his inky black hair fell down and hit Mu Ci's face. His breath was almost completely entangled with the person in front of him.

Their noses were touching, and the distance between them now seemed such that they would touch if they moved a little.

Wen Xiuqi looked at her with his beautiful eyes. The indifference and alienation in his eyes were no longer as before. There was an illusion that a storm was about to come.

Mu Ci still had his eyes closed, breathing steadily, completely unaware of what was happening at the moment.

After a long while, Wen Xiuqi sneered softly, stood up and sat back down.

This chuckle seemed to be mocking himself, but also seemed to mean something else.

He took out two small, silly cloth tigers from his arms and played with them in his hands. These two were exactly the same ones that Mu Ci gave to Wen Xiuqi a month ago.

The fur on the cloth tiger had become a little smoother, unlike before, as if it was often carried and stroked by someone. Wen Xiuqi played with it for a long time, and then placed one of them at the head of Mu Ci's bed, with gentle movements, right next to her so she could see it when she turned over.

Mu Ci was in a coma for seven days, and during these seven days, Wen Xiuqi showed up at the princess's mansion on time, as if he was afraid that others didn't know, as if he deliberately entered through the main gate every time. Although Wen Xiuqi always gave people the impression of being gentle and polite, his flamboyant behavior seemed to be expressing something to everyone.

As a result, there were more rumors about the legendary deeds of the Tenth Princess Qiu Muchi and the Prince of Yongning, and even various versions of the love-hate relationship between the two emerged one after another.

Bai Qingchen was extremely angry about this. He almost wanted to slap himself to death for calling Wen Xiuqi over.

He really didn't expect this guy to be so shameless.

It was such a hot topic that even when the emperor summoned him, he secretly asked whether the unclear relationship between his own Xiao Shi and Wen Xiuqi was true or false.

At this moment, Heifeng, who was standing behind Wen Xiuqi, had a look of indignation on his face.

"Master, you don't know what the rumors are saying on the street. They say that this time the Tenth Princess is determined to take you as her...her concubine!" When he said the last two words, Heifeng was too embarrassed to say them out loud.

"Well, so what." Wen Xiuqi didn't care at all and even smiled indifferently. There seemed to be a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"What? So what? Master, you must not have anything to do with the Tenth Princess again, otherwise your reputation will be ruined, and then no girl will want to marry you!" Heifeng really spoke without thinking, and no one knew whether he was brave or timid.

"It's hard to say how many years I can live in this body. There are not many people in the capital who want to marry me. But the Tenth Princess is a person of temperament!" Wen Xiuqi said.

Even when he said this, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, which was completely different from the hypocritical smile he had in the past, as if there were hints of joy in his eyes.

This scared Hei Feng a lot. Is the Tenth Princess a person of sentimental temperament? ! !

Did he hear it wrong?

In his opinion, the Tenth Princess was attracted by his master's face. After all, it was rare to find someone as handsome and elegant as his master.

But he didn't dare say this.

After Wen Xiuqi arrived at the princess's mansion early again, Mu Ci woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she found a very handsome face. The man was sitting next to her. When he saw her wake up and looked at her, although his face was still gentle, the joy in his eyes was almost beyond words.

"Princess, are you awake?"

Mu Ci was shocked by his attitude. She was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Where is Bai Qingchen?"

But as soon as she said this, Wen Xiuqi's rare smile froze on his face. His eyes were gloomy, as if he was trying his best to restrain the sudden outburst of anger and the inexplicable dull pain coming from his chest.

"What does the princess want him to do?"

Mu Ci had just woken up and was still a little confused. He didn't hear the sourness in his words at all. He just said, "I have something to discuss with him. What else can I do!"

"Why are you speaking so harshly?" Wen Xiuqi's face turned cold, but the words that came out of his mouth were full of grievance.

"..." I want to know why you are so weird. If someone doesn't know, they would think you are possessed by someone.

As soon as the two finished talking, Bai Qingchen walked in, leaving the door open.

"Oh, my little junior sister, you're finally awake. You've made me worried these days. There are wolves in front and tigers behind, and they're all staring at you. I'm really worried about you!" Bai Qingchen covered his face with a fan.

"..."Mu Ci was very confused. He really couldn't figure out what these two people were talking about.

So let’s get straight to the point.

"It just so happens that the prince is here too, Senior Brother, please explain the situation."

It was a rare opportunity for them to gather together, so they could solve the problem as soon as possible. She had been in this world for quite a while, so she had to complete the first major task first.

When Bai Qingchen heard her mention this, he put away his nonsensical attitude and explained in a serious manner the situation of the cold poison, the treatment methods currently collected, and the medicinal materials they collected together last time.

At present, everything is just a prediction, and the specific situation is still unknown. What is most important at the moment is the lack of a medicinal ingredient, a drop of crystal dew.

"Crystal Dew? Uh..." Mu Ci felt that this name was particularly familiar. He thought about it carefully and remembered that this was included in the task he completed before. "I have Crystal Dew, and three drops."

"Three drops? You have it!" Bai Qingchen looked extremely surprised.

Wen Xiuqi, who was standing beside him, also had a slightly darker look in his eyes, and looked at Mu Ci with a complicated expression.

Crystal dew is extremely difficult to obtain, and it can even be said that it is out of stock. You may not be able to buy it on the black market, because its collection is extremely complicated, and the place where it is located is a small forest behind the extremely poisonous place.

Bai Qingchen thought again of the "Book of Miraculous Medicine" that she had casually taken out before, and suddenly felt that she had once again underestimated this junior sister whom she had not seen for many years.

"In that case, then you can prepare. But you have to think clearly. In the process of treating the cold poison, your soul-leaving syndrome will be brought out. If you can't suppress it, then you are likely to lose your mind for the rest of your life. At that time, your cold poison may directly backfire and even kill you. You have to think carefully."

Bai Qingchen reminded again in a serious tone.

Although whether Wen Xiuqi is dead or alive has nothing to do with him, as a doctor, he will not confuse public and private matters.

Wen Xiuqi looked at Mu Ci.

The cold poison suddenly had a cure. In fact, he was extremely uneasy at the moment, and even felt helpless. He had been tortured by the cold poison for so many years, and even wondered every moment whether he would stop breathing in the next moment. But now he saw hope that everything could change.

Mu Ci waited for him to consider it, there was no need to rush now.

Wen Xiuqi suddenly said, "I understand. I will pay attention to the Soul Separation Syndrome. I will leave the treatment to Master Bai. In the future, if you need me, just let me know. I will do my best to help you."

Bai Qingchen was actually flattered by his serious attitude for a moment, and felt secretly happy.

This guy has been guarding against him openly and secretly, but now he has this attitude, which really makes him feel relieved, haha.

"Okay, okay!" Bai Qingchen said with a proud look on his face.

"As for the princess..." Wen Xiuqi turned his gaze to Mu Ci who was standing beside him.

"Yes!" Mu Ci was waiting for his promise worth a thousand gold. Then no matter what she wanted to do, it would be convenient for her to do it. This was a promise worth a thousand gold from the male protagonist.

"Princess, you risked your life and tried so hard for me. If the cold poison can be completely eliminated, it will be considered as saving my life. I cannot repay your kindness. I can only repay you with my own body!"

Wen Xiuqi was serious.

Mu Ci was shocked: "What did you say?!!!"

The author has something to say: Seriously pledge your love to me!
