Just when Xiao Jiu'an raised his feet and was about to leave, a low groan came from the room, and the voice was clearly Ji Yunkai's.
After a pause in his footsteps, Xiao Jiuan hesitated for a moment, then raised his feet and walked closer. However, the room was completely dark. Even if he got closer, he couldn't see anything clearly, but the sound of pain became more obvious.
A flash of doubt flashed in Xiao Jiu'an's eyes. Just as he was about to push the door open, he saw a candlelight suddenly light up in the room. Xiao Jiuan ducked in the corner. Through the candlelight, he saw Ji Yunkai covering his face with his right hand and resisting the pain. He was clumsily using his left hand.
I opened the medicine box and looked for something.
Is this woman injured? Why didn't the secret guard tell her?
Xiao Jiuan frowned, and at this moment, Ji Yunkai took out a bottle of medicine from the medicine box, released her right hand to twist the medicine bottle, revealing her right face with dark spots but not ugly...
I don’t know if it’s because of the candlelight or something else, but the dark spots on Ji Yunkai’s face are becoming more and more translucent. A few days ago, they looked like the best ink, black and translucent, but tonight they looked like jet-black gems. Mysteriously.
It's bright, and if it's branded on your face, it's not only not ugly, but it actually adds a bit of beauty.
However, Xiao Jiuan had no intention of appreciating it. At this moment, he was already sure that the toxin on Ji Yunkai's face was becoming more and more serious, so severe that he needed medicine to suppress it.
Why didn't anyone tell him?
Why didn't Ji Yunkai say anything?
This woman, in order to go to the Valley of Heavenly Medicine for treatment, did not hesitate to test the poison herself. Why didn't she say anything now that the poison was getting more and more serious?
Are you waiting for him to find out so that he can feel guilty?
Why did Ji Yunkai think that he would definitely be able to discover it?
Coming here tonight was all an accident. What if he doesn't show up tonight? How long will Ji Yunkai plan to keep it a secret?
Waiting for the people monitoring her to find out?
But even if the person monitoring her discovered this abnormality, he would not report it because he didn't want to listen.
So, what is this woman’s basis for?
Could it be that this woman is not afraid of death?
Xiao Jiuan didn't believe this at all. This woman was tenacious and could endure any hardship in order to survive. How could she just accept her fate and wait for death?
Xiao Jiuan couldn't understand and was too lazy to think about it. When he saw Ji Yunkai poured a glass of water and took the medicine, and then fell asleep with pain, Xiao Jiuan turned and left...
Returning to the study again, Xiao Jiuan did not sit down, but stood in front of the desk, tapping the table repeatedly. After a while, he called the secret guard and asked: "What's wrong with Ji Yun's open face?"
"Ah?" The secret guard looked confused, obviously not understanding what happened?
"The toxins on Ji Yunkai's face are getting worse, don't you know?" Xiao Jiu'an was obviously dissatisfied and couldn't help but raise his voice.
The secret guard was startled and knelt down with a "thud": "I don't know, please punish me." Did the prince ask the wrong question? Why were they staring at the princess's face when she had nothing to do?
Apparently Xiao Jiuan also thought about this question and asked in a different way: "How many times has she gotten up in the middle of the night?"
"I used to get up occasionally, but recently I have been getting up all the time. I heard from Baoqin that the princess gets thirsty easily at night, so she often gets up at night." After all, there are differences between men and women, and the secret guards cannot get too close to Ji Yunkai, so they can only stay outside the courtyard.
Even though I was sleeping, I could only see Ji Yunkai standing up to drink water at night. As for the dull sound of pain?
If it's just a soft sound, they don't have clairvoyance or the ability of the prince, so how can they hear it...
If they really can hear everything, then they are not secret guards.
"Is it often?" Xiao Jiu'an knocked on the table again, feeling a little depressed inexplicably: "It's so serious, why didn't you ever say anything?"
He was obviously so afraid of death, why didn't he tell him? Why didn't he come to beg him?
Is it harder to beg him than to die?
The secret guard was confused. Although he knew that the matter was related to the princess, he had no idea what Xiao Jiuan meant.
"Step back." Xiao Jiuan waved his hand, not embarrassing the secret guard, but just stood alone in the study for a long time.
The secret guard kept watch for most of the night, feeling increasingly uneasy...
What did the princess do? Make it so difficult for the prince to make a decision?
Their prince has never been a hesitant person. Big things can be decided with just a raise of his hand. How big of a thing must happen to make the prince think about it for so long?
The secret guards wanted to investigate, but the matter concerned Ji Yunkai. Without Xiao Jiuan's order, the secret guards did not dare to move easily. They vaguely realized that the prince treated the princess differently...
Early the next morning, Ji Yunkai didn't even take care of the flowers and plants in the yard, and ran to the pharmacy early in the morning to find Dr. Zhuge.
Doctor Zhuge always gets up early, and recently he has slept less in order to study medicinal herbs in southern Xinjiang. Seeing Ji Yunkai coming so early, Doctor Zhuge was surprised, but when he saw Ji Yunkai's face, Doctor Zhuge immediately
Understood: "Princess, the poison on your face has become serious again."
This was a tone of 100% certainty. Others would not notice the subtle changes in Ji Yunkai's face, but he stared at it every day, fearing that something would happen to the princess...
"Hmm. The pain was severe last night. I was thinking about using golden needles to inject poison. Didn't you see how Feng Qi did it last time?" During this time, the toxins on her face often broke out, and every time it hurt her.
Can't sleep late.
"Princess, I can't do it." Dr. Zhuge shook his head quickly: "I can't do it." The poison on the princess's face has been recurring recently, and the frequency is getting higher and higher. The princess has mentioned more than once that she wants him to do it, but...
He tried it and tried it on himself. He used the same acupuncture method, but it didn't even have one-tenth of the effect of Mr. Feng Qi.
"You have to do it even if you don't. If the pain continues like this, even if I don't die of poison, I will still die of pain." Ji Yunkai's expression was ugly, but his words were definitely not a lie.
Doctor Zhuge was confused for a while, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Princess, why didn't you tell the prince?" It wasn't that he didn't want to help the princess treat her, but he really couldn't do it.
"What's the use of telling him? Will he let me go to the Valley of Heavenly Medicine? Or will he help me find Feng Qi? I didn't see him being soft-hearted last time when I tested poison for Yan Beijun. Do you think he will be soft-hearted now?" She admitted.
She had some serious intentions last time. She was plotting against Xiao Jiu'an. She hoped that Xiao Jiu'an would know that the poison on her face could not wait any longer and let her go to the Heavenly Medicine Valley for treatment, or find Feng Qi to treat her. But what was the result?
Xiao Jiuan only saw her scheming, but he couldn't see how serious the poison on her face was!
Xiao Jiu'an is a tyrant, a self-centered dictator. He doesn't care about her life at all, and he doesn't take her seriously at all.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunkai felt an inexplicable heartache and felt an unspeakable grievance. However, it only took a moment for Ji Yunkai to suppress the grievance that was about to come out.
Xiao Jiuan doesn't care about her life or death. It's useless for her to die aggrievedly. She doesn't even cry to death. She can't rely on Xiao Jiuan just because Xiao Jiuan saved her twice. From the beginning to the end, Ji Yunkai can rely on her.
