Chapter 2352: Chapter 2352: The Old Man
Xuexue glanced over, not far away, there was an old man struggling in the hands of several guards.
Following her gaze, Long Yi also saw the old man. Before he could react, he heard Long Rui’s chilling voice, "Why are you still standing around dumbly? Go administer the medicine!"
Long Yi immediately snapped to attention, replied with a "yes," and placed the medicine pot back on the table. He picked up a bowl, filled it with medicine, and instructed several guards to hold the old man down.
He held the bowl in one hand and pinched the old man’s cheeks forcefully with the other.
The old man struggled desperately, trying to bite Long Yi.
Helplessly, Long Yi’s hand was like an iron grip, fiercely pinching his cheeks, causing him pain and making it impossible for him to bite.
Long Yi acted roughly, using his other hand to pour the medicine into the old man’s mouth...
"Gulp gulp...!"
"Cough cough...!"
A bowl of medicine was poured into the old man’s mouth, though much of it spilled out, he still drank quite a bit, making him cough intensely with tears and snot flowing. Long Yi could care less, as it was to remove the magic illness.
The Thin Man wanted to step forward to pat his father’s back to soothe him, but he didn’t dare, afraid his father might go mad and turn around to bite him.
The Fat Man looked eagerly at the medicine on the table, and with a shameless grin, asked Xuexue, "Ha ha...! Princess Consort, may I drink the medicine?"
Xuexue waved the token in her hand, smiling with squinted eyes, "Go ahead, it’s already been exchanged, drink as you please!"
Seeing the token, the Fat Man’s facial fat visibly trembled, but he was quickly drawn to the medicine on the table again. Survival was more important, as long as he was alive, everything else was just clouds.
The Fat Man took three steps forward, not even grabbing a bowl, he held the medicine pot with both hands, tilted his head back, and gulped down the medicine, until he finished it, before setting the pot aside. The medicine juice soaked the front of his clothes, but he couldn’t care less, he raised the back of his hand to wipe the medicine from his chin.
"Princess Consort, please quickly help me check if the magic illness in my body is gone?" the Fat Man impatiently asked.
Xuexue laughed, "It’s not that easy."
The Thin Man, hearing this, flared up, "Hey hey... What do you mean? Are you playing us?"
Xuexue replied irritably, "With your kind of look, I don’t even want to play with you!"
The Thin Man became furious, puffing out his cheeks, "You... you...!"
Long Rui pulled Xuexue close, scoffing at the Thin Man, "What’s the matter? Isn’t what my wife said right? You’re just an ugly creature, look at your two legs, thin like chopsticks, a grown man and so skinny, don’t you feel ashamed?"
Having said that, Long Rui glanced distastefully at his legs.
The Thin Man hated having his legs mocked most in his life, yet Long Rui was not someone he could easily provoke, so he could only sulk with his head down.
The Fat Man was most worried about whether the magic illness on him could be removed. Would both his and his father’s lives be saved?
"Princess Consort, then... what about the magic illness on me and my father? We agreed that I would exchange the token, and you would cure us. Princess Consort, our lives are in your hands, you must stay true to your word."
Before Xuexue could answer, Long Rui gently clapped his hands, and a guard came over with two packets of medicine.
"Prince."
"Yes, give them the medicine."
"Right away."
The guard handed the medicine to the Fat Man.
The Fat Man took it and asked Xuexue, "Princess Consort, what’s this?"
Xuexue answered, "That’s a two-day supply of medicine for you and your father. After drinking this, you won’t need any more, the magic illness will be completely removed."
