"Is he really the Prince of Yu's heir? Why are you asking?"
"I'm staying at Yi Yan Gen's residence tonight." Half my life was gone, so why should I deny myself comfort? Yi Yan Gen's residence had a chef I was satisfied with, and beautiful people to accompany my meals.
"Ah? What are you doing at the Prince of Yu's heir's residence? Do you know him?" Xu Hengyi asked, shocked.
"What do you think?"
Xu Hengyi pondered for a moment and then realized, "Oh, I get it. The Prince of Yu's heir is also asking you to treat his injuries?"
"I heard the Prince of Yu's heir was quite seriously injured, and the poison was very rare. Even my elder brother, personally intervening, couldn't completely neutralize the poison. They say there are still residual toxins. How is it, do you have confidence?"
Xu Hengyi was a little curious.
"No, I'll treat as much as I can." I'm not a true poison doctor.
Madam Xu Tai's poison was developed by Yi An. The needling technique and the detoxification prescription were things she had practiced beforehand.
As for Madam Zhou's injuries, her people had already investigated. Although I'm not a poison doctor, I do know some medicine. I can just copy the answers to get it done.
Meeting Yi Yan Gen at the foot of Xian Shan was an accident. Yi Yan Gen's injuries were indeed tricky. Yi An could only remotely prepare some medicine and send it over. If she didn't kill the person, it would be considered her excellent medical skills.
Xu Hengyi turned his horse around and took her towards the Prince of Yu's heir's residence.
"It's one thing for you to go treat the Prince of Yu's heir, but are you really going to stay at his residence tonight?"
"Why?"
"Can you rest well then?" Xu Hengyi was a little worried.
"Why?"
"The Prince of Yu's heir, how to put it... someone said before that he was as clear and aloof as a cliff, solitary and murderous. Despite not being very old, only a few years older than us, his aura is incredibly imposing, making it hard to breathe. Don't you find him terrifying?"
"No."
Xu Hengyi thought she was joking.
But she appeared completely unfazed, without any hint of insincerity.
Xu Hengyi now understood why, when he was with Xie Jiang, he naturally became her follower.
Some people are born leaders.
She probably didn't even consider Yi Yan Gen a threat.
But if she didn't consider Yi Yan Gen a threat! What kind of a dramatic scene that would be. Xu Hengyi actually really wanted to see it.
"I heard the Prince of Yu's heir was injured by a woman and almost lost his life," Xu Hengyi couldn't help but gossip.
"Oh?" Xie Jiang raised an eyebrow.
"I wonder what kind of woman she was, to almost kill the Prince of Yu's heir." Xu Hengyi was too curious. "They say it was the Prince of Yu's heir's beloved, but no one has seen her. Everyone is just speculating privately."
"Oh." They were quite enthusiastic about making up stories. Why didn't they go write novels?
"Someone like the Prince of Yu's heir would also have a beloved," Xu Hengyi found it incredible.
"Why not? Even a dog can find a female dog."
"How can that be the same? He looks like someone who is pure and abstinent, no, not pure and abstinent, he looks like an ambitious person who wields power."
"He who holds power over the world must also be drunk in the embrace of beauties."
"He would never get drunk."
"Do you know him well?"
"No, it's just the impression he gives, you know?"
"I don't." He clearly wanted her to tear him down, yet he was playing hard to get!
Xu Hengyi sighed to the sky.
Xie Jiang swayed precariously on horseback. Xu Hengyi, fearing she would fall, could only slow down and proceed cautiously.
The Prince of Yu's heir's mansion was close at hand. Xu Hengyi was still a little worried. "How about I wait for you outside? After you finish treating the Prince of Yu's heir, we can return to the Duke of Wei's mansion together?"
"No need, you can pick me up tomorrow morning."
Who gave him the confidence to think she would be more comfortable living in the Duke of Wei's mansion than at Yi Yan Gen's place?
Yi Yan Gen was completely devoted to her. Could Xu Hengyan be?
In Xu Hengyan's eyes, she wasn't as attractive as a sweet potato.
