LIGHTNOVELONLINE “What a good idea! My great physician.” Looking at Ye Yizhe, who was sitting by the bed, Shang Wuxin had a strange look.
Even it was the second time that Shang Wuxin had met the great physician, she had to admit that both his appearance and his temperament was outstanding.
The man, looking like an immortal who was exiled here, wore a white long robe with tight sleeves of silver piping, which was elegant but not plain, beautiful but not grandiose. And around his waist, he wore a jade-green and pale gray silk belt, with an old and simple white jade pendant hanging on it. Thread outlined clouds of varied shapes on his garment. His black hair tied in the white jade crown fell on his shoulders like silk. The moonlight penetrated the lantern hanging outside the chamber and covered him with silver light, which made the man who was sitting beside the bed at the moment look like an otherworldly supernatural being.
Ye Yizhe withdrew his hands, a gleam of praise flashing across his eyes, and explained: “I bear no malice against you!” Noticing that the Crown Prince still looked upset, he repeated, “I really have no vicious intention!” He never gave any explanations to others, so, he didn’t know what needed to be explicated.
The little fox stared at the weak Crown Prince and wanted to climb into the bed. But as it jumped up on the bed, it was thrown to the floor by the wind coming from the palm of Shang Wuxin. If this little fox were not sharp, it would have lost its life.
Then it looked sadly at the Crown Prince lying there, kept squeaking, dared not move forward but could only lie on the ground and stared at the Crown Prince with its big eyes full of sorrow, and it reached out its claws to cover its face from time to time.
“You can no longer use your internal forces. It would make the toxin in your body break out faster!” Ye Yizhe worried. He was surprised when he saw that the Crown Prince used internal forces to attack the little fox, and he failed to stop that, “The little fox is only a beast, and it doesn’t know anything. It was me who did all of this.”
“Oh!” Although Shang Wuxin lay on the bed, rather weakly, his eyes were fierce. “My great physician, you are really good at scheming and calculating! You know that I would certainly not perceive the poison you put on this beast. And then you could save me after I got hurt. I wonder what you want from me.”
At the beginning, Shang Wuxin didn’t know why she would suffer the toxic attack so early. Then she considered for a while and found that she didn’t touch anything strange except this fox. She smelled the taste of herbs that day, but she thought it was because the fox had been staying with Ye Yizhe for a long time, hence it got the smell. She didn’t realize that the smell of herbs aimed at her.
The little fox, looking at the Crown Prince lying on the bed, kept squeaking and wanted to explain something, but Shang Wuxin didn’t understand its bestial language and said to it, “If you continued to make noise, I would kill you and use your flesh to cook dinner!”
As expected, the little fox was frightened, ran to Ye Yizhe and lay at his feet, daring make no noise.
“It was me who put the medicine on the little fox, and it was the medicine that provoke the toxic attack in your body! But the medicine cannot harm you. Even my Crown Prince suppresses the toxin temporarily, you can’t bear the consequences it would bring when it breaks out finally. So, I decided to help you to release the toxin first, and I’ll give you medical treatment! As for these means I used, I feel very sorry!”
Ye Yizhe did want to get something from the Crown Prince. He wanted to get the Crown Prince’s attention and the opportunities to approach the Crown Prince.
Everyone who had ever met Ye Yizhe would think he was like an immortal desiring for nothing. And his identity as great physician made him more ethereal. But on the other hand, he was a businessman, more precisely, a very rich businessman. So, like other businessmen, he was also shrewd and unscrupulous. The mix of these two incompatible characteristics made Ye Yizhe more horrible than other people. If he were not interest in the things he met, he would be the indifferent great physician, while he would be stubborn if he met something or someone that he didn’t want to let go.
That’s why even Ye Yizhe just liked the Crown Prince for the moment, he still took some measures to send him to the Crown Prince. It couldn’t be imagined what he would do, if his feeling for the Crown Prince turned into love.
Shang Wuxin didn’t expect that what Ye Yizhe did for her was out of kindness. Shang Wuxin believed that the reason he did all of this was because he wanted to get something from her. However, hearing that the situation was not like what she expected,
Shang Wuxin didn’t feel moved but doubted it. She suspected the truth of Ye Yizhe’s words and his purposes. How could Shang Wuxin realize what the man did was really for her sake.
“My great physician, do you mean that you can cure me?” Shang Wuxin asked. “If you could heal me, I would reward you!” Although Shang Wuxin suspected Ye Yizhe, she couldn’t deny his medical skills. If she really wanted to detoxify her body, she would need Ye Yizhe’s help.
Ye Yizhe’s indifferent eyes became a little uneasy, “I can only eliminate a part of toxin in your body tentatively but cannot detoxify your body. Sorry.” People called him as great physician, and his medical skills were matchless in the world. But he knew that he was a doctor but not a god, and there were a lot of patients that he couldn’t save. Of course, he had never considered to heal them. But Ye Yizhe felt a bit sad that night, because he didn’t have any methods to cure the person who he wanted to heal the most.
The Crown Prince inherited the toxin from his mother. It had been lurked in her body for many years and had never been treated. That the Crown Prince was still alive was a blessing. However, Ye Yizhe was determined to figure out the toxin in the Crown Prince’s body. Otherwise, his life would become a sleepy backwater once again.
It was the second time that Ye Yizhe had said sorry. Shang Wuxin waved her hands, knowing that no matter what happened, she shouldn’t jump to conclusion, and as she would need the great physician’s aid to detoxify her body, she couldn’t offend him.
“My Crown Prince, please let me take your pulse!” Ye Yizhe said.
Shang Wuxin moved her wrist slightly but still reached out her hand. Although she had practiced the method, which could lead to the disorder of her pulse, she still felt a little nervous before Ye Yizhe. Nevertheless, she had to take her chances.
Ye Yizhe stared at the Crown Prince’s slender, white and jade-like wrist. And when he touched the Crown Prince’s soft skin, he felt his heart missed a beat. The Crown Prince’s pulse was in a mess. Ye Yizhe found that the toxin suppressed for a long time had become more serious. Luckily, he appeared. Otherwise, the Crown Prince would die several years later. For the moment, what he needed to do was to nurse the Crown Prince’s body, detoxify her body little by little, and finally find the antidote.
Ye Yizhe’s mind was so chaotic that he neglected something. More importantly, the cool breath the Crown Prince had and the determined measures she usually took, all would make people overlook her physical features easily. If Ye Yizhe didn’t like the Crown Prince, he would have perceived something wrong. However, as Ye Yizhe thought the Crown Prince was male beforehand, he didn’t doubt the Crown Prince’s gender, and neither did the others.
“My Crown Prince, the toxin in your body is of high toxicity. I will live in the Mansion of Crown Prince and treat you these days. Please allow me to stay here, my Crown Prince.” After saying that, Ye Yizhe went out and prepared to boil herbs for the Crown Prince. As for whether the Crown Prince would agree, Ye Yizhe knew very well that the Crown Prince would consent. That was not because the Crown Prince was afraid of death, but the Crown Prince needed to stay alive.
“Ok! Sorry to trouble you!” Shang Wuxin said and then closed her eyes. As her body was in bad condition, if she had not insisted to keep awake, she would have passed into a coma. So, after the issue was settled, Shang Wuxin lost consciousness at once. Ye Yizhe glanced at the Crown Price in a coma and hurried to go out to boil herbs. And the little fox jumped on the Crown Prince’s bed, hung on the bedstead and stared at the Crown Prince. Only by then the little fox could approach the Crown Prince it liked, while in normal times, it couldn’t touch her even once.
When Ye Yizhe walked out the Crown Prince’s resting palace, he saw the crowd standing outside. Seeing Ye Yizhe out, Wu Wei and Wu Ju hurriedly prepared to enter the Crown Prince’s chamber, but they were stopped by Ye Yizhe, “Now, the Crown Prince’s is weak. We’d better do not bother him. The Crown Prince should take the medicine as soon as possible.” Then he handed the prescription to Wu Wei and Wu Ju.
“What happened to the Crown Prince?” Huan Moche asked, with his eyes looking at the resting palace but seeing nothing.
Although Leng Yufeng didn’t ask anything, he had been frowning and his hands had been clasping tightly.
Nangong Qian looked normal, but he paid all his attention to Ye Yizhe. And it was the first time that he had waited here patiently for something not associated with official business, but for the safety of a Crown Prince of the other country.
“Come on, what happened to the Crown Prince Shang?” Nangong Lian murmured. She had met so many handsome men that day. She thought that her elder brother was the most beautiful man in the world, so, she was surprised when she saw the Crown Prince Shang. Later, she met the good-looking General Leng. And that day, she even met another two attractive men. Nangong Lian wondered if all the men around the Crown Prince Shang were so handsome. These guys formed a huge test for her endurance.
Ye Yizhe noticed that there are so many people being worried about the Crown Prince and most of them were male. And then thinking of the crowd who cared about the Crown Prince, especially the men who were so famous that he even heard something about them, Ye Yizhe felt a little bit frustrated.
“There is nothing serious for the moment. But the Crown Prince need to be nursed carefully.” Ye Yizhe replied.
Eunuch Hai wiped tears from his eyes and hurried to do other things. Although the Crown Prince was ill, the Mansion of Crown Prince couldn’t slide into chaos. As he was the Chief of the whole Mansion, he surely couldn’t relax.
When Wu Wei held the bowl of medicine and prepared to enter the Crown Prince’s chamber, Ye Yizhe took it and went into the chamber. And Nangong Qian left with his younger sister after he had known that the Crown Prince was fine. Although Huan Moche and Leng Yufeng wanted to stay here, they needed to investigate the causes why the Crown Prince had been poisoned, so, they also left the Mansion of Crown Prince, and they set their mind to find the poisoner and let him die like a dog.
Ye Yizhe went into the Crown Prince’s chamber, then he saw the Crown Prince being in a coma, with his eyes closing tightly. He saw that the Crown Prince’s pale face was only as big as his palm, partially covered by the long black hair spreading out like ink diffusing in water, which made it more pointed and smaller. The Crown Prince lay huddled up in bed and looked petite, looking like the cunning and smart little fox, which had the same appearance when it let its guard down and fell asleep. The Crown Prince’s look made Ye Yizhe have the impulse to protect and take care of him.
Maybe the Crown Prince felt someone coming into her chamber. She frowned and was about to wake up. Seeing that, Ye Yizhe hurriedly walked over and hit her sleeping acupoint. The Crown Prince went to sleep again. The little fox, which was hanging on the bedstead, was angry with Ye Yizhe and afraid that he would hurt the Crown Prince.
“She is tired. She needs to rest.” Ye Yizhe said softly. As expected, the little fox soon quieted down. Ye Yizhe picked up the little fox and put it on the floor, knowing that the Crown Prince didn’t like it, and if the Crown Prince knew the little fox was on the bed, she would get angry.
Ye Yihze held the bowl of medicine and looked at the Crown Prince in coma; then he paused for a moment, wondering how to let the Crown Prince drink the medicine. After thinking for a long while until the medicine got cold, Ye Yizhe took a deep breath.
