"Young... Y-Young... Young Master Xiao.…" Doctor Zhuge's hand was on Ji Yunkai's pulse and, his lips were trembling so much that he could not speak properly.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Shaorong's mood was already low. Seeing how the doctor acted like he had seen a ghost, he could not help but be even more dissatisfied.

"What's wrong with the Princess? Dead?" Xiao Shaorong said snappily.

If a person died, all bad things would be forgotten. Only the best side of her would be remembered.

"No, no, the Princess isn't dead yet." Doctor Zhuge immediately denied it, but changed the subject and added, "But, but... soon."

Although it was summer, the Princess' body was as cold as ice, and her pulse was so low that it was almost unnoticeable.

"The Princess has lost too much blood. It seems, it seems… she's even been poisoned. From the looks of it, there is no possibility of a cure." Doctor Zhuge trembled as he retracted his hand, not daring to touch Ji Yunkai again.

"Poisoned?" Xiao Shaorong could not help but frown, and his line of sight once again landed on the black spots on Ji Yunkai's face.

Could it be that it wasn't his misconception, but that Ji Yunkai's face had become even uglier because she was poisoned?

"Yes, yes. The poison is similar to the poison in which the Prince was afflicted with previously, but not as overbearing. But, the Princess has lost too much blood and her body is weak, so I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on." Doctor Zhuge said in a muddled voice, but he had said what he needed to say.

"Alright, let's take them back first." Xiao Shaorong was too lazy to talk to him anymore. This Little Doctor the Prince had found was one of the best. It was just that, he was too timid, and could not speak well due to nervousness or excitement. It was annoying.

"So, may I treat her?" Doctor Zhuge carefully asked.

Although he could not guarantee that he would be able to treat the Princess, but the Princess was about to die, shouldn't he try to save her first?

"Can you cure her? If that's not possible, then shut up and wait for the Prince to wake up." Whether it was to take Ji Yunkai's life or to let her live, he could not make the decision; the only one who could decide Ji Yunkai's life was Xiao Jiu'an.

"I-I understand." Once Xiao Jiu'an was mentioned, Doctor Zhuge did not dare to say a single word more.

He was afraid of the Prince!

"You guys, be careful and take the Prince." Xiao Shaorong took a glance at Ji Yunkai, and his heart felt inexplicably stuffed.

Every time he saw Ji Yunkai, he would think of the young lady who wore a mask, had a beautiful face, and gave him a sweet smile, but the reality was different.

They were clearly the same person, yet they were not, causing him to feel an indescribable irritation.

However, when a guard tried to pull Ji Yunkai out of Xiao Jiu'an's embrace, Xiao Shaorong could not help but stop him and said,"No need, let me!"

Resisting the disgust towards the black spots on Ji Yunkai's face, Xiao Shaorong bent down with the intent to hug Ji Yunkai, but the moment he touched her, Xiao Jiu'an instinctively increased his strength and imprisoned her.

Xiao Shaorong was startled, but did not say anything. He only shook Xiao Jiu'an away and picked her up.

The guard stepped forward and carefully helped Xiao Jiu'an up. Only now did they notice the wound on Xiao Jiu'an's back, which was a very deep sword wound. Previously, Xiao Jiu'an had hugged Ji Yunkai tightly and blocked it, so no one could see it.

"Let me take a look." Doctor Zhuge was very perceptive and saw it. He immediately walked forward without waiting for Xiao Shaorong to speak.

There was nothing he could do for the poison in the Princess' body, so if the Prince had something he needed to treat, he would naturally rush forward. Otherwise, he would not be of any use at all and would have no reason to stay in Prince Yanbei's Mansion.

The Prince had said that he never raised useless people, after all.

Doctor Zhuge stepped forward to take a look and immediately heaved a sigh of relief, "It's fine, it's fine. I just said that the Prince wasn't hurt in vital parts and it wouldn't kill him. I'll first sprinkle some medicine on the Prince, then we'll go back and clean it up."

Doctor Zhuge swiftly cut open the clothes on Xiao Jiu'an's body, revealing his bronze-colored arm and his green-purple covered upper body.

"Aiya, there are so many bruises on the Prince's body, how can he be hit like this!" Doctor Zhuge shouted once again in shock. Xiao Shaorong took a glance, and then silently looked up at the mountain top. His gaze finally landed on Ji Yunkai who was in his embrace.

He had a feeling that he had discovered some extraordinary secret.

*Cough, cough.*

"Apply the medicine on your highness first, then… is there any medicine that the Princess can use? First, stabilize the situation with the Princess." The Prince would rather protect Ji Yunkai even if he was injured, presumably he did not want Ji Yunkai to die, right?

Under this kind of situation, he made the decision to save Ji Yunkai on behalf of the Prince, so everything should be fine, right?

"Here, here...." The doctor took out a bottle of medicine from the medicine box and handed it over to Xiao Shaorong. "Young Master Xiao, this is for blood-nourishing qi, give it the Princess these three pills first."

Xiao Shaorong accepted it, and Doctor Zhuge found another bottle for him. "This is a medicine I prepared for the Prince to suppress the poison in his body. Give this to the Princess too."

"This one too? Can't you make a medicine for the Princess?" Xiao Shaorong received the medicine, but did not immediately feed it to Ji Yunkai.

He suddenly felt that this Little Doctor that the Prince had found was extremely unreliable.

"The poison in the Princess' body is similar to the poison that was in the Prince's body. I can't concoct the medicine for the princess now, so I'll have to use it first. Young Master Xiao, don't worry. The medicine I make is mild, so even if it doesn't work, it won't be harmful." Seeing Xiao Shaorong's dissatisfaction, Doctor Zhuge immediately explained.

Xiao Shaorong nodded, he felt that he cared too much about Ji Yunkai, and said in a mean tone, "Enough, hurry and apply the medicine for the Prince."

"Yes, Young Master Xiao." Doctor Zhuge secretly wiped off his sweat and quickly applied the medicine on Xiao Jiu'an. The entire process was crisp and fast, without any sign of nervousness or uneasiness.

Seeing that, Xiao Shaorong nodded his head in satisfaction. He should not have doubted the Prince's eyes, although the Little Doctor looked unreliable, he still had some ability.

Xiao Shaorong refused the help of the guards and sat down at the side with Ji Yunkai in his arms. He pinched open her lower jaw and forced the pills in.

It was unknown if it Ji Yunkai's skin was too tender, or if Xiao Shaorong did not control his strength well, but after Xiao Shaorong finished feeding her the medicine, two deep-green finger marks appeared on her face.

"Err…" Xiao Shaorong felt an inexplicable sense of guilt, and quietly wiped the area between his fingers, wanting to erase the imprint on his finger. In the end, not only was he unable to erase the imprint, but he even managed to rub Ji Yunkai's skin until it was red.

Xiao Shaorong felt even guiltier. Facing Ji Yunkai's bruised face, Xiao Shaorong had no other choice, but to quietly turn her face around, and let Ji Yunkai bury her face in his chest, so that no one could see the bruises left on Ji Yunkai's face.

He's so clever!
