C914 The appetite of 914 is not small

The things he said and did to her these days, the way he looked at her, made it impossible for her to ignore this fact.

She carefully sized up Yan Yuan's expression, wanting to find something on his face to set off her guess, but she couldn't find anything.

After a long while, Yan Yuan withdrew his gaze from her face, and the grief in his eyes disappeared as well. With a hoarse voice, he said.

Liu Ruo Qing was startled for half a second, then replied softly, "Yes."

Yan Yuan glanced at her, and without saying anything further, he turned and left, his back showing a loneliness that made one's heart ache.

When they were walking out of Liu Ruo Qing's courtyard, Yan Yuan had been wearing a silent face the entire time.

He didn't dare to ask Liu Ruo Qing too many questions. Even though he had repeatedly guaranteed that he would be able to cure him, other than making this promise on the surface, he didn't have any other substantial method to cure his illness.

He had sent people to look for the whereabouts of Shen Gu Zi, but now, all the information that he received said that Shen Gu Zi was dead.

He had flipped through all the medical books, but there was no feasible way to cure her illness.

The more he faced her, the more he felt ashamed to see her.

He felt that he was simply a bastard. Even after knowing that everything she had said and done was for his sake, he still allowed Xia Tao Hua to enter the palace to anger her.

Yan Yuan scolded himself in his heart. When he looked up, he saw that Xia Tao Hua was still standing far away, and when he saw him coming out, his eyes lit up. He hesitated for a second and walked towards Yan Yuan.

Seeing Yan Yuan's slightly reddened eyes, Xia Tao Hua did not conceal the shocked expression in them at all.

But she didn't dare to ask any further, so she understood what was going on. She stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness."

"What is it?"

Yan Yuan's voice, carried a trace of indiscernible hoarseness, and was as cold as iron; it carried a faint trace of impatience.

"Regarding Bull Guard, Peach Blossom has some things that I would like to ask Your Highness. I wonder if …"

Hearing Xia Tao Hua mention Liu Ruo Qing, the ice cold air instantly condensed on Yan Yuan's face.

"Why did you ask him?"

Facing Yan Yuan, Xia Tao Hua was a little afraid in her heart, but for the sake of her own trip, she clenched her teeth and endured.

"Earlier on, when I was in the garden, I secretly checked the pulse of the Bull Guard."

When Xia Tao Hua said this, he paid attention to Yan Yuan's expression. Seeing his gaze darken, a stern look flashed past his eyes.

"You know medicine?"

In his heart, an unrealistic thought flashed by.

Xia Tao Hua pursed her lips and smiled, "I know a little."

Yan Yuan did not say anything, he only looked at her with a gloomy gaze, indicating that she should continue speaking.

Xia Tao Hua thought for a while and continued: "Does Your Highness know that Young Master Niu has a blood disease?"

Her words made Yan Yuan's heart tighten, and he revealed a bit of doubt on the surface, but he heard the tone of Xia Tao Hua saying: "From his pulse, it seems that Young Master Niu is undoubtedly suffering from a blood disease, but the patient's face has always been pale white, without the slightest hint of color. Bull Guard's face, however, is very ruddy, and this is something that I don't understand."

Yan Yuan naturally knew why her complexion was red.

No matter how perfectly and delicately that human skin mask was made, it was still a dead object after all. There were no veins on it, so naturally it would not change due to the lack of blood.

Suppressing the thought in his mind, he looked at Xia Tao Hua. This woman was not as flamboyant as she was at the palace banquet yesterday.

She specially came to ask him about Qing Er's condition. She definitely did not want to tell him about this simple illness.

"It's blood."

He patiently answered Xia Tao Hua's questions.

Xia Tao Hua nodded her head, and did not ask her why her face was so rosy, but her brows knitted slightly, "His condition is already somewhat serious."

Yan Yuan's face suddenly paled. Even though he had already mentally prepared himself, hearing such a conclusion from Xia Tao Hua's mouth once again made him feel uncomfortable.

Xia Tao Hua looked at Yan Yuan's serious and deathly pale face, which revealed a look of remorse, reluctance, pain, etc. This made her feel that if she were to bet on Yan Yuan, she might be able to get it right.

She didn't have much time left. If she could seize this opportunity, perhaps the crown prince wouldn't be working so hard.

Thinking this way, she summoned up her courage and said, "Your Highness, why don't you let me try?"

"You?"

Yan Yuan's eyes grew deeper. The gaze he used to look at Xia Tao Hua was filled with suspicion, but he had to admit that when he really had no way to treat Qing Er's illness, he did not deny his own thoughts of seeking medical treatment.

Xia Tao Hua knew the doubt in Yan Yuan's heart about her medical skills. After all, as a teenage girl, she wouldn't believe that she could really treat an incurable illness no matter who she was facing.

Xia Tao Hua thought for a while, then said: "Has Your Highness ever heard of Shen Gu Zi?"

When these words came out, Yan Yuan's body shook followed by a violent earthquake. His entire person had even lost control of himself as he came forward to grab onto Xia Tao Hua's arm. Because he was too agitated, his strength was shockingly strong.

"Do you know where he is?"

Yan Yuan's voice was trembling with excitement, but Xia Tao Hua shook his head, the light in his eyes dimmed in a moment.

Then, he heard Xia Tao Hua say: "Shen Gu Zi is my master, although Peach Blossom does not have all of the teachings of my master, but I still have a bit of confidence in being able to cure Bull Guard's disease."

This was probably the other exciting news that Yan Yuan heard after he found out that Xiao Niu was Liu Ruo Qing.

In comparison to his current slightly trembling excitement, Xia Tao Hua's expression was extremely calm. The calm made Yan Yuan's excited expression instantly turn cold.

"Can you really cure her disease?"

"Yes."

Xia Tao Hua calmly replied.

Yan Yuan looked at Xia Tao Hua's slightly closed eyelids. Suddenly, he thought of something and his expression slightly froze. "What do you want to get from this king?"

He had seen too restless a woman, so he wouldn't feel that her thoughts towards Xia Tao Hua were too naive.

Sure enough, when Xia Tao Hua heard him, he slowly raised his head. His eyes were firm, and without dodging in the slightest, he said directly: "I want Your Highness to marry me."

Yan Yuan's expression had indeed darkened by more than half, and on his ashen face appeared an unconcealable evil intent. However, Xia Tao Hua did not avoid his gaze, but rather mustered his courage and looked straight at him.

Then, she heard Yan Yuan sneer, his eyes filled with contempt, "Your appetite is not small."
