Chapter 49: Chapter 50 Treating the Disabled Prince
Ye Qichi was waiting for Xiao Jinxing in his sleeping chamber.
For quite a while.
Xiao Jinxing, dressed in white brocade, was pushed out from behind a screen by Xiao Wu, his face as black as charcoal.
"Is this sachet a gift from Bai Mowan?" Ye Qichi lifted the sachet in her hand.
Xiao Jinxing, furious, said, "Who let you touch it! Give it to !"
"Who’d fancy it anyway!" Ye Qichi returned it to Xiao Jinxing.
She pondered that this must be their token of affection, likely given to him by Bai Mowan after the palace banquet that night.
Which ans while she was being assassinated, the damn Prince was busily engaged in romance.
Not angry.
Ye Qichi told herself, not to stoop to Xiao Jinxing’s level.
After all, they will forget each other in the rivers and lakes sooner or later.
It’s not worth harming herself over soone so insignificant.
"Aren’t you leaving yet?!" Xiao Jinxing, safeguarding the sachet in his bosom, coldly said to Ye Qichi.
"Where is my cook?" asked Ye Qichi.
Xiao Jinxing remained silent.
"Return my cook to ." Ye Qichi was firm.
"Driven away." Xiao Jinxing coldly threw out three words.
At that mont, Ye Qichi couldn’t hold back and blurted out, "Are you sick!"
Xiao Jinxing coldly stared at Ye Qichi.
"What did my cook ever do to you, that you had to drive him away?!" Ye Qichi truly couldn’t comprehend this madman, utterly cold as ice.
"Does this Prince need a reason to drive away a servant?!" Xiao Jinxing’s presence was intimidating.
Still stubbornly refusing to admit any wrongdoing.
Ye Qichi told herself to stay calm.
She shouldn’t brawl with Xiao Jinxing.
She might be able to beat this cripple, but not Xiao Wu.
Anger bursting through her chest, she then breathed deeply, calming herself down before coolly saying, "So does the Prince an to have als together with
from now on?"
"Don’t even think about it!" Xiao Jinxing imdiately refused.
"So the Prince wants to starve
to death!" Ye Qichi concluded.
Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips, offering no explanation.
"If that’s the case, then I shall take my leave." Ye Qichi even gave a ritual bow.
Suddenly acting so obediently, Xiao Jinxing involuntarily furrowed his brows.
This woman being so easy to dispatch, he found utterly unbelievable.
Xiao Jinxing watched warily as Ye Qichi’s figure receded.
Sure enough.
Ye Qichi didn’t go far before stopping, "I was originally planning to treat the Prince’s leg disease, it seems I was being presumptuous."
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes tightened.
"The Prince said tomorrow is the last deadline for our deal, not sure if I will even see tomorrow’s sun. It’s a pity I just went to the dical hall today and bought the top-quality silver needles, now they can only be sold as scrap tal," Ye Qichi murmured.
Xiao Jinxing remained indifferent.
Ye Qichi gritted her teeth and turned to leave.
"Stop!" Xiao Jinxing suddenly spoke up.
Ye Qici’s lips curved into a smile.
She turned back, her face innocent as she asked, "Does the Prince have any further orders?"
"Xiao Wu," Xiao Jinxing commanded, "Prepare the evening al."
"Yes, my Prince." Xiao Wu hurriedly departed.
Ye Qichi’s triumphant smile was unmistakable, "Thank you, Prince, for the grace of not killing !"
Not letting her starve was already a grace.
Xiao Jinxing, face dark, ignored Ye Qichi; he pushed his wheelchair towards a couch to one side.
Ye Qichi didn’t care about Xiao Jinxing’s attitude; she leisurely strolled and browsed around the sleeping chamber.
Lu You naturally did not dare to wander off.
She even feared that the Prince and Princess might clash impulsively.
She simply prayed quietly, hoping they would co to no harm.
A period of ti as long as it takes to burn an incense stick passed.
Xiao Wu had the servants bring in the evening al.
Ye Qichi, clearly hungry, ate sowhat rudely.
Xiao Jinxing watched her eating, his brows deeply furrowed.
This woman has no decorum at all when eating, which well-bred lady would fill her cheeks round like her while eating.
However...
Xiao Jinxing’s throat twitched.
Because tonight’s al prepared by the cook was hard to swallow, he had hardly eaten anything.
Seeing how deliciously Ye Qichi was eating...
Xiao Jinxing endured it and turned his face away.
"Princess, eat slower, be careful not to choke," Lu You, who was serving beside, quickly reminded.
She had already seen the look of disdain from the Prince, and now she was even too lazy to glance at the Princess again.
Can’t the Princess pay a bit more attention to her image?!
"If I don’t eat quickly, how can you eat," Ye Qichi swallowed a big mouthful.
At Xiao Jinxing’s place, it was certainly improper for Lu You to dine with her; this damn Prince would definitely nitpick.
She could only finish eating quickly so that Lu You could have her al.
"Princess," Lu You was moved in an instant.
The Princess was actually disregarding even the Prince for her sake.
She must, swear to serve the Princess to death.
Ye Qichi quickly finished eating.
She said to Xiao Wu, "Please take Lu You down for dinner."
Xiao Wu naturally listened to Xiao Jinxing.
Only after Xiao Jinxing slightly nodded did Xiao Wu spoke, "As ordered. Miss Lu You, please follow ."
Lu You followed Xiao Wu out.
When leaving, she didn’t forget to give the Princess a look, signaling her to definitely not offend the Prince.
Ye Qichi ignored it.
She walked straight to Xiao Jinxing, "Undress."
Xiao Jinxing’s face turned green, "Ye Qichi, can’t you behave a bit?!"
"If you don’t take off your pants, how can I palpate. If I don’t palpate, how would I know the condition of your legs?" Ye Qichi asked, puzzled.
Xiao Jinxing endured it and commanded, "Help this Prince change clothes."
"..."
Ye Qichi helped Xiao Jinxing take off his pants, and then assisted him to lie flat on the bed.
She squatted beside him, starting the serious diagnosis of his legs.
Due to the lack of usage over the years, his legs were so emaciated that they were nearly just bones, looking sowhat hideous.
Ye Qichi touched them.
Thankfully, the bones had developed decently, it was just the soft tissues that were injured, causing loss of sensation in the legs.
As long as the bones weren’t necrotic, it wasn’t a huge problem.
Ye Qichi roughly understood the situation.
She began to touch Xiao Jinxing’s legs bit by bit, "Do you feel this?"
"No," Xiao Jinxing replied coldly.
"How about here?"
"No."
"Here?"
"No."
"Then here..."
"Ye Qichi, where are you touching!" Xiao Jinxing suddenly shouted.
Ye Qichi was startled.
Dammit.
She was earnestly treating him, what did he think she was doing?!
Ye Qichi said annoyingly, "I need to determine exactly where you are injured before I can treat you accurately!"
"Don’t you already know if I’m injured or not?" Xiao Jinxing clenched his teeth.
Ye Qichi paused for a mont, then suddenly smiled, that’s also true.
She said, "I will perform acupuncture on you now, just don’t move."
Xiao Jinxing consented silently.
Ye Qichi took out the silver needle, locating each acupuncture point precisely, and then began to insert the needles one by one.
The process was sowhat lengthy.
"How much longer?" Xiao Jinxing asked, sounding a bit impatient.
"Don’t rush ," Ye Qichi responded irritably.
She absolutely hated uncooperative patients in her life.
