Chapter 228: Such a Strong Jealousy

eved everything she said, as long as that person wasn't here to take her away from him. No matter what she asked him to do, he was willing."But I don't know who he is..." Xiao Yuge nestled in his arms..."Alright, the medicine is ready. Just apply it to her wound. As for her internal injuries, I'll treat them later." As he spoke, He Crane had already prepared the medicine and was about to apply it to Xiao Yuge's wound.

"This King is here!" Unexpectedly, Qian Tingxuan snatched the medicine bowl from his hand.

"A physician sees no distinction between men and women, I..." He raised his eyes, but was immediately shut down by a look from Qian Tingxuan. He hastily swallowed the rest of his words. "Alright, alright, you come to apply it for her. Make sure to spread it evenly, or it will leave scars."

"Get out of here first!" Qian Tingxuan stared at him.

"Alright, alright, I'm going!" He turned and walked toward the courtyard with a helpless expression. He was still quite upset inside: "What the heck, such a superficial person! She's my junior sister too, her jealousy is so intense! Be careful your teeth don't turn sour from all that vinegar!" Just thinking about it made him angry. They had been friends for so many years, and she didn't even give him any face, directly kicking him out.

"Crane God Physician!" Ming Yang chuckled as he sauntered over, a playful glint in his eyes. "Were you also driven out by the old master"

"Get lost! This divine physician is in a bad mood right now." He glared at him, curled his lips, and looked utterly disgruntled.

"Crane God Doctor, you've got it easy. I've had so many chicken legs taken away by my grandpa these past few months that I've almost forgotten what they taste like." Ming Yang thought about this and his mood instantly soured.

"Mingyang, do tell me, what's the current status between the Prince and my little apprentice During my absence, what exactly has happened"

Ming Yang thought for a moment: "During your absence, quite a lot has happened. Let me slowly tell you everything..."

After Qian Tingxuan treated Xiao Yuge's wounds and spent a lot of internal energy healing her, he saw that she was still unconscious. His eyes were full of worry: "Xiao Ge'er, wake up soon, you can't have anything happen to you..."

"Don't worry, she'll be fine. It's you who should be worried. Don't you know your own body You spent so much internal energy healing her. Instead of worrying about her, why not worry about yourself" He Crane also frowned on the side. This was the first time he saw Qian Tingxuan disregard his life to protect a woman. It seemed like the junior sister was doomed.

"Hè Míng, and be honest with this King, if there's no antidote, how long can this King live at most" Qián Tíng Xuān looked very calm, even his tone of voice was surprisingly even.

"It won't exceed three years..." He lowered his head in shame, his heart felt no better. People called him a divine physician, yet he couldn't cure the poison on his own body.

Qianting Xuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath inwardly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were calm. He had long since looked down on life and death, hadn't he

"Hēnmíng, has this king ever told you, this king has been waiting for a little girl to grow up..."

"I know, it's just me, your little junior sister, you've said it many times already."

"Indeed, it took so long to wait for her to grow up, reach marriageable age, and come by my side..." Qian Tingxuan sat beside the bed, gently holding her slender and boneless hand. Looking at her who was still unconscious, his eyes were soft and affectionate, but also lonely like endless night: "But fate has played a big joke on me. I never believed in fate, as long as it's what I want, I must get it! She is the same! I want to marry her, to protect her for life, but when I was in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and saw her covered in blood, at that moment, I suddenly felt afraid. What if one day, I really am gone, who will protect her"

"You..." Seeing him like this, He cried out what to say.

"Do you know There's always a hint of hatred and loneliness in her eyes, something this king can't see through. This king pampers her, loves her, wanting to erase her past and make her the giggling girl who coos at this king, with eyes that crinkle at the corners. In this world, she has no family, and this king wants to be her only kin. But what if one day, even this king is gone What will become of her then This king dares not imagine..."

The crane's cry sounded like a soft sigh: "If that day truly comes, she wouldn't even have the last shred of warmth in her heart. She would be devoured by hatred and loneliness, and become the coldest, sharpest blade in the world!"

"Qian Ting Xuan..."

At that moment, Xiao Yu, unconscious, mumbled his name softly, unclearly, as if adding a hundred twists of tenderness.

“I was…” His gentle voice, brimming with affection, needed no extra words. He gently held her in his arms, pouring his frustration and sorrow into the night: she relied on him so much, he adored her so deeply, why did fate deny them If heaven was unjust, then he would destroy it!

He watched them, shaking his head silently. He quietly stepped back and closed the door behind him. One was his old friend, the other his younger disciple. He hoped more than anyone that they could be happy, but alas, fate would not allow it

Xiao Yuge, held in Qian Tingxuan's arms, wept silently. She had woken up earlier and overheard the conversation between Qian Tingxuan and his senior brother. Perhaps she had once doubted Qian Tingxuan's feelings for her, but his words just now warmed her frozen heart like a ray of light.

She never expected that in this life, there would still be someone who treated her with such sincerity. It turned out that having someone guard the bedside moon as it became full was such a solid presence. The heart that was originally filled with hatred seemed to slowly start to make room for him, allowing him to seep in bit by bit...

Inside a water prison.

"My Lord, even if we broke the law, you have no right to punish us like this! We demand to see the Emperor!" With blood staining her entire body and pain making her toes twitch, Fan Li, saw Qian Tingxuan half-leaning on a chair, his face pale. She almost collapsed as she roared in desperation.

"Yes! We must meet the Holy One!" The other three adults also reluctantly agreed.

Over these past few days, they were subjected to all sorts of torture. Ordinarily, if they had ten lives, they would have long since perished. However, Qian Tingxuan had arranged for the best doctors in the entire city to be on standby. The moment they received punishment, immediate treatment was provided. Moreover, those who carried out the executions carefully avoided vital areas. They wanted to die but couldn't, and of course, they dared not die either, because Qian Tingxuan had issued an order: should any of them dare to die, their entire clans would be buried with them.

"Want to see the Emperor This king will give you a chance!" Qian Tingxuan didn't waste words with them. The anger he owed Xiao Geer had been released, and the rest was left to his older brother. Even the charge of dereliction of duty would be enough for them to suffer.

The Emperor hadn't expected that a simple trip to the imperial tomb would lead to so many events: Hakza was assassinated and lost an arm; Xiao Yuge was arrested and imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment, nearly losing his life; and four ministers were almost tortured to death by Qian Tingxuan.y to that kind of place. Although he knew why she was going there."No need, I can go by myself." She knew someone would go with her, so she didn't let Qian Tingxuan follow."Little song..." Seeing her...
