Chapter 1357: Chapter 986: Poison Doctor Unrivaled 47 (four thousand)
Beiming Yi lowered his head and murmured, "Murong Yi? Isn’t that your father’s name? How can you directly address him..."
"What I mean is, even if my future partner is chosen by Murong Yi, I won’t marry. In your eyes, he is the revered Lanyue Emperor, but to me, there’s not much affection. Between him and me, I don’t even have a closer relationship than with Grandpa Shui. He hasn’t raised me for a single day, and I haven’t eaten a single grain of the Royal Family’s food. What right does he have to dictate my future? So, if you want to walk that path, I advise you to give up early." freewebnøvel.coɱ
Murong Xue’s disdainful look deeply provoked Beiming Yi, making him feel she had no manners or upbringing. The goodwill accumulated earlier completely disappeared with this sentence: "To think that Princess Yunxi is so conceited, do you really think this prince must marry you?"
Murong Xue chuckled and said, "Since the Prince says so, I suppose you have no interest in me at all? Oh, that’s wonderful, indeed. After all, someone as conceited, selfish, and arrogant as I am surely isn’t suited to be your Princess Consort Yi. I think I’m more suited to the free-spirited life of a doctor in Jianghu, don’t you think?"
Beiming Yi was full of unwillingness and displeasure after being looked down upon by her. In his view, no woman had ever dared to say such things to his face. Who did she think she was? Just because she was a Lanyue princess, could she disregard the consequences like this?
"Indeed, the free and unrestrained life of Jianghu is suitable for a woman like you who was never bound by rules and etiquette from a young age. Since this is your true thought, this prince will respect your wishes."
Beiming Yi’s prompt concession indeed surprised Murong Xue. Looking carefully, his eyes did not seem to be lying. Moreover, he seemed to have no reason. She had been so brazen, if he still clung to her, he might really have a masochistic tendency.
Little did she know that the man she encountered was exceedingly patient. Look down on me if you wish, I will still make you mine. So, while it seemed like he had compromised, actually, hehe, it might have intensified his desire to possess her even more.
In essence, if she was truly just a rootless woman of Jianghu, that would be one thing. However, she was backed by the Lanyue Royal Family, and in his view, Murong Han was the most likely legitimate son to inherit the throne. Moreover, Murong Xue was a rare favorite legitimate princess in Lanyue’s history, recognized as soon as she acknowledged her kinship, granted a title, and allocated a fief. Such external forces were something Beiming Yi couldn’t ignore, therefore, capturing Murong Xue was a must. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Murong Xue never guessed the mind of this man. She spent her days either detoxifying him or accompanying the old man around the medicinal fields, the pharmacy, and the Alchemy Room. At other times, she would fuss over vegetables and fruits in the fields, staying busy from dawn till dusk, in an exceptionally good mood.
Two or three months passed this way, until one bustling summer day, Beiming Yi finally stood up after repeated attempts. The entire valley boiled with excitement, and even Murong Xue genuinely felt happy for Beiming Yi: "That’s splendid, it’s faster than I imagined. Now, rehabilitation can start gradually."
To walk normally, Beiming Yi put in efforts beyond what ordinary people could comprehend. For every hour of rehabilitation, he rested two breaks, even practicing Five Animals Qigong, waking up early and finishing late, hoping that one day he could return to his pre-poisoned state.
This patient was very cooperative, always accomplishing whatever she instructed. Thus, it was more than a month sooner than she anticipated.
Additionally, the combination of spiritual spring water, food, and medicinal materials effectively reached the ideal state.
During the days of seclusion, although Beiming Yi didn’t leave the valley, his men traveled back and forth multiple times, delivering letters and daily essentials. Everything owed to her and the Silver Coins from the Wind Valley were all settled in silver, quite straightforward, making him a cooperative partner Murong Xue was willing to work with.
He worked hard, but Beitang Qing even harder, not only running back and forth but also seemingly handling all affairs of Prince Yi during his absence from Beijing, watching him slim down bit by bit.
After more than two months of perseverance, Beiming Yi no longer needed external support and could walk, although not for more than an hour, but the results were remarkably evident. The residual toxins in his body significantly cleared due to her efforts, though complete removal would still require at least half a year of spiritual spring water intake. Returning to the level of a healthy person would need two to three years of following her rehabilitation regimen.
