I had a bad feeling; Nangong Anren might be up to something.
But having no right to do so and unable to openly stop it, he could only lower his head and retreat in silence.
At that moment, I felt truly powerless.
Whether it's someone you like or a friend, there's nothing you can do or help them with.
Linglong cried like a baby, obediently tugging at Nangong Anren's clothes.
She cried out, "Elder brother, will the Crown Prince ever wake up?"
He wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, affectionately stroked the tip of her nose, and said, "Yes, you will wake up."
Seeing his firm assurance to her, Linglong believed him.
She wiped away her tears, stood up, and said firmly, "Yes, I believe what my eldest brother says!"
This was the first time Nangong Anren had lied to her, but he also secretly vowed that it would be the last time he ever lied to her.
At this moment, Ling Shuang stood up, her eyes changed, no longer so innocent and carefree.
Instead, it carries a maturity that evokes a sense of heartache.
"I implore Your Highness to do everything you can to rescue His Highness the Crown Prince."
Ling Ran felt incredibly heartbroken looking at him.
"Your Highness, let's go outside and not disturb Doctor Sun."
Soon after everyone left, the room became quiet.
In the quiet room, you could almost see the sunlight dancing on the floor.
Then Dr. Sun took out a silver needle, the tip of which was very sharp in the sunlight.
With a light touch, it can pierce through any hard object.
The doctor held the silver needle high above his head and aimed it at the acupoint on Nangong Liuli's head.
The conversation between him and Nangong Anren was playing in his mind.
"Your Highness, you absolutely mustn't! What if something happens?"
"Do you intend to disobey orders?"
"Your subordinate dares not."
Nan Gong'an's expression softened, and he said with a smile, "This is the only way to detect whether Nangong Liuli is lying."
He panicked: "What if he's still alive?"
Nan Gong'an smiled wickedly. "Then, Dr. Zhang Sun will have to find a way to make it real."
"The First Prince."
He patted him on the shoulder, his face full of optimism, and said, "I believe you can do it."
"Once this is done, you'll get whatever you want."
Dr. Sun, with a resigned expression, said, "I... I only ask to see my family; I ask for nothing else."
"Of course. Our business will certainly satisfy you."
Despite feeling immense self-blame, guilt, and reluctance.
But for the sake of his family, Dr. Sun had no choice but to raise the silver needle in his hand and place it high on the acupoint.
...
"I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
Ye Xuanling's sudden remark made my heart tremble slightly.
"Who does he look like?" I asked.
"Have a good friend after get off work."
He looked at me with those suspicious eyes, as if he wanted to rip my heart out.
"I suspect you used a disguise technique. You are actually Ye Lisheng, Sixth Brother, right?" he whispered in my ear.
My lips were trembling slightly. I also hoped things would turn out as he said.
But the charred corpse and the familiar jade pendant made me abandon that idea.
Suppressing the excruciating pain in his heart, he pretended to be nonchalant and joked, "I've heard that the Prince of Anyang is the most powerful figure in Lingqi?"
"That's right!"
He stood tall with a proud expression.
When it comes to Ye Lisheng, he speaks fluently and knowledgeably.
Looking at the smile on his face, I suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to be very sad about Ye Lisheng's death.
He always has a smile on his face, eats well, and sleeps soundly, as if nothing can defeat him.
I voiced my doubts and asked, "The Eighth Prince doesn't seem that sad."
"I have heard that the Eighth Prince admires his sixth brother, the Prince of Anyang, the most."
Seeing his slightly trembling lips and the fleeting sadness in his eyes, I knew I shouldn't regret it.
I regret asking such a thoughtless and hurtful question.
I regret my selfishness and my arrogance, thinking that everything was as I imagined.
He had been observing his relationship with Ye Lisheng all along.
She knew perfectly well that Ye Xuanlingmin admired his older brother Ye Lisheng the most, and she also knew how good the relationship between the two brothers was.
"Is the food too salty today?" he asked.
I hesitated for a few seconds, then looked at him with a completely bewildered expression.
He smiled and asked, "It's nothing, I just noticed you seem to have some free time today, young master."
I was going to apologize to him, but after hearing what he said, all my guilt vanished.
He shrugged and said, "Yeah, the food is really salty today."
Yanran, who was always standing to the side, would secretly observe me from where I couldn't see, her scrutinizing gaze never stopping.
At this moment, Murong Kui, holding flowers in her hands, looked at me with a silly smile and said, "Play with me."
Although I hate that he stole my identity and tried to steal Ye Lisheng's love for me.
But seeing him like this, the hatred in my heart vanished instantly; every cause has its effect.
"Sweetie! Go play by yourself for now, I'll come and play with you later."
She stomped her feet and pouted like a little child, which was extremely cute.
Of course, we should ignore the scars on her face.
At this moment, Lingxin caught up and forcibly pulled her away: "Princess, let's go!"
