C99 Chapter 99

Jiegeng ran back to her room with a heartache.

"How could the Royal Highness like you!"

"You are just a temporary pleasure for His Royal Highness. When the fresh end is over, why would His Royal Highness still be interested in you!"

The cold words of those women in the past instantly filled Jiegeng's mind.

The worries in the past became reality at this moment. At this moment, Jiegeng was not only disappointed but also surrounded by a strong sense of loss.

"So, it was really like what those people said." A line of clear tears slowly fell.

Looking at the flickering candle flame, Jiegeng could not sleep for the entire night.

Early in the morning of the next day, Jiegeng went to find Shihan early in the morning.

"Miss Biao, the princess just fell asleep." Yue had been waiting outside.

"Has the poison been cured?" Jiegeng asked.

"Doctor Bai said that it will take at least another day." Yue's face was also filled with fatigue. "During this process, the princess suffered too much. When I have time, I will definitely slice that Ghost Doctor into a thousand pieces."

"Yue, you have also waited for an entire night. Go back and rest first. I will just watch over this place. When Bai Ye comes, I will ask him about the specific situation. "

"Miss Biao, but you don't look too good either. It is better for this servant to keep it."

"Don't forget, I am a doctor after all." Jiegeng chased Yue away.

Jiegeng entered the house and saw Shihan's pale face and could not help but feel heartache. She immediately went to get a basin of warm water and used a wet cloth to gently wipe her.

After Jiegeng tidied up, the moment she went out, she saw Duan Shuang waiting outside the door.

"I went to your room to find you. Since you are not here, I thought you must be here."

Jiegeng gently closed the door and did not intend to pay attention to him.

"Jiegeng!" Duan Shuang immediately went forward and held Jiegeng's hand.

Jiegeng instantly shook his hand off.

"Jiegeng, listen to my explanation." Duan Shuang rushed to the front and blocked Jiegeng's way.

"Sister is still resting inside. Don't wake her up."

"This matter, I must make it clear to you. I can't let you continue to misunderstand." Duan Shuang directly carried Jiegeng and left Shihan's courtyard.

"Put me down quickly!" Jiegeng's legs fluttered, but it did not have any effect.

Duan Shuang ignored her and continued to walk on his own.

"Smelly hoodlum! Quickly let go!" Jiegeng started to move her hands.

But Duan Shuang was still unmoved.

Jiegeng was flustered and exasperated. She opened her mouth and bit Duan Shuang's arm.

At first, it was a symbolic bite, but when she saw that Duan Shuang was still unwilling to put her down, Jiegeng increased her strength. In the end, there was an abnormal smell of rust.

Jiegeng let go and found that blood had already come out of her clothes.

Jiegeng looked at Duan Shuang who did not change his expression and could not help but soften her heart, "You, you don't feel pain?"

"Is your anger gone?" Duan Shuang did not answer Jiegeng's question, but instead asked Jiegeng's feelings with concern.

"Quickly put me down!"

"If you have not calmed down, you can take a few more bites. If you feel tired, you can stab me with the dagger until you calm down."

"You madman!" Jiegeng was no longer as indifferent as she had been when she had seen him in the morning. Her eyes were angrily staring at him.

"If you don't put me down first, there is nothing to talk about!"

Duan Shuang finally put Jiegeng down.

"Jiegeng, listen to me. Although I did have those thoughts before, those are all in the past." Duan Shuang felt a sense of urgency that he had never felt before.

"The more I get along with you, the more I am attracted to you. There was a period of time when I denied it myself. I even thought that I was crazy." Duan Shuang explained with such sincerity.

"Jiegeng, you have to believe that I really love you now."

"But between us, there was a lie that started." Jiegeng regained her calm.

"I always hoped to find a pure love without any interests involved. But between you and me, from the beginning, it was because of those things that attracted us here."

Jiegeng pushed Duan Shuang away.

"You love me now. You are very direct. Even if I bite you, or even stab you with a knife, you will not hate and blame me because of this. Is it because of the novelty?" Jiegeng turned her head.

"If you don't love me anymore in the future, will you kick me away? Will I be like those resentful women, guarding the empty house and living miserably for the rest of my life? "

Jiegeng told Duan Shuang her concerns.

"You are a king with a large number of soldiers, and you have too many responsibilities on your shoulders. Today, you can walk with me because of work. In the future, will you throw me aside because of other heavy responsibilities? " When Jiegeng thought of this, her heart shivered.

"I am a person who is very afraid of losing. I really do not wish for the love that I once had to leave me in the end." Jiegeng had already started to choke.

"Rather than worrying about personal gains and losses, it is better to end it now." Jiegeng steeled her heart and finally said those words.

"Jiegeng, if you had such concerns a long time ago, why did you come and provoke me from the beginning?" Duan Shuang heard Jiegeng's resolute words and his heart was filled with grief and anger.

"At that time, I was too naive. I always had hopes that you would slowly appear by my side. It's pure that you like me. However, reality is cruel. I lost the bet." Jiegeng carried Duan Shuang on her back and could not stop her tears.

"Why can't you try to believe me?"

"I am a timid person. I don't think I can afford to gamble anymore." After Jiegeng finished speaking, she immediately escaped from his line of sight.

Jiegeng returned to Shihan's room with red eyes.

Jiegeng looked at the sleeping Shihan and especially hoped that when Shihan wakes up, she would be able to tell her own pain and entanglement. But in the blink of an eye, when she thought of her and big brother Ouyang's situation, she did not want to let Shihan worry anymore.

"Oh, what is wrong with my little sister? Did she just cry her nose again?" Bai Ye came in and started teasing Jiegeng.

" Who is your sister? " Jiegeng was still the same as before and glared at her. "I did not cry."

"These eyes are as red as a rabbit's. It's not like your big brother is blind!"

"Stop trying to make connections here. Who would admit it?!" Jiegeng did not want to give up.

"Who was the one who called me yesterday? Why don't we ask Princess Shihan before she wakes up?" Bai Ye had a naughty smile on his face.

"By the way, how is Ms Shihan?" Every time Jiegeng saw him, she would always quarrel with him first and forget about proper business.

"Princess Shihan is a rare fierce woman." Bai Ye looked at the person lying on the bed and his words were filled with admiration.

"During the detoxification process, my whole body was in intense pain, not to mention... Her poison had penetrated deep into her internal organs. In order to lure the poison out, her internal organs must have been in excruciating pain yesterday. Not to mention these two levels of pain, even the first level of pain... Even a lot of seven-foot-tall men wouldn't be able to endure it. However, Princess Shihan was actually able to endure it, and even maintain her clarity of mind. She really is a fierce woman."

After Jiegeng heard this, her heart ached even more as she held Shihan's hand.

She originally thought that it was just the discomfort during the detoxification process, but she did not think that it would be so painful.

Other than feeling heartache, Jiegeng also had a deep sense of self-blame at this moment. When Shihan was in such pain, she actually did not stay by her side.

"However, it is also thanks to her perseverance that the detoxification process was exceptionally smooth. Originally, it would take three to five days of effort, but now it could be greatly shortened to two days. Today, I only need to wait for her to wake up before removing the remaining poison in her blood."

" Alright, what do you want to do? Just tell me. " Jiegeng wanted to do her utmost for Shihan.

Bai Ye nodded and simply and quickly told Jiegeng the method.

After Bai Ye returned to his house, he saw Bai Qing waiting for him.

"Grandpa." Bai Ye cupped his hands and greeted.

"Jiegeng made things difficult for you again, right?" Bai Qing said with a half smile.

"Sister, that's just a child's temper. It's nothing." Bai Ye didn't think it was a big deal. "After so many years, I can finally see my sister. It's a happy thing to be able to tease her like this."

"Jiegeng's temperament is a little too big because I spoiled her." Bai Qing said frankly. "I have wronged you. You have been training alone since you were young to inherit the Bai family. Originally, I should be the one to bear the responsibility of training you. But who would have thought that something like this would happen in the capital? I can only take Jiegeng and leave first."

Bai Qing patted Bai Ye on the shoulder. "I have wronged you. I have never had any family to accompany me."

Bai Ye shook his head. "What my grandson did was nothing. Jiegeng is the one who is innocently responsible for the family's sins."

Bai Qing's face instantly turned pale. "What we can do now is to let Jiegeng live happily for the past few years."

"Grandson naturally understands. Therefore, in these few months, when Grandfather didn't stay by her side, I felt that it was my fault instead."

"This cannot be blamed on you. There are some things that I still have to personally report to you. It is just that I did not expect Jiegeng to be able to dig out my secret box." Bai Qing was also helpless. "If I had known earlier, I would have destroyed it."

"That thing is the beginning of our family's glory and sin. It is understandable that grandpa cannot be ruthless."

"Sigh, if not for that thing, why would Jiegeng's thoughts be tied to that Zhen'an King brat?! How many women who marry into the royal family will have a good ending?" Bai Ye suddenly became furious. "But luckily, there seems to be a crack between the two of them. Thinking about it, I should be able to cut off this relationship that I shouldn't have."

Bai Ye did not think it was a big deal.

Was Duan Shuang the kind of person who would easily give up?

At night, after a day of removing the poison, the poison on Shihan's body was finally completely removed.

But these two days had really spent too much energy. In the blink of an eye, Shihan fell asleep.

After Jiegeng finished instructing Yue, she finally dragged her exhausted body back to the room.

After entering the room, Jiegeng was worried that Duan Shuang would appear again and immediately instructed Qi, "If Zhen'an King comes, we must stop him."

Jiegeng really did not want to see him. She was afraid that if she looked at him a few more times, the determination that she had made with great difficulty would yield to her heart.

"Yes, but young lady, this Zhen'an King went out early this morning and has not returned until now."

" Oh?" Jiegeng still could not control her restless heart.

"He must have returned to the capital. After all, his mission here has already been completed, right?" Jiegeng guessed and could not help but feel sad.

"It should not be. Anzhao and the rest are still here. Furthermore, the hidden guards arranged by the Royal Highness did not retreat." Qi reported truthfully.

"Wherever he wants to go, I don't care!" Jiegeng angrily muttered a few words before saying in a distracted manner, "Alright, I'm tired. I'm going to sleep."

However, when she really thought that Jiegeng was lying on the bed, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

In a few days, Duan Shuang was nowhere to be seen.

Shihan's condition was getting better and better, and she had gradually recovered her spirit.

"Master, has the antidote been developed?" These few days, Ouyang Lingfeng had been patiently waiting for Ghost Doctor's reply.

Ghost Doctor looked at Ouyang Lingfeng's anxious look and felt proud in his heart, "En, indeed." Ghost Doctor pretended to be arrogant, "After several days and nights of study, master finally developed the antidote."

When Ouyang Lingfeng heard this, his heart turned completely cold.

These things were indeed done by Ghost Doctor!

After all, he had been his master for three years. Before, Ouyang Lingfeng had held onto a sliver of hope, but now, he completely understood.

Forcibly suppressing the killing intent in his heart, Ouyang Lingfeng continued to ask, "Is there really a solution in that medical book?"

Ghost Doctor threw the antidote in the porcelain bottle containing the antidote to Ouyang Lingfeng, "How can this be fake? Otherwise, how did master make this medicine?"

After Ouyang Lingfeng received the medicine, Ghost Doctor revealed a trace of a cold smile. "However, aren't you curious who made this poison?"

Ouyang Lingfeng held the porcelain bottle and pretended to be surprised as he asked," Master, could it be? "

"Under the Heavens, only people from the Bai family can use this method. Who else could it be?" Ghost Doctor's smile became more and more obvious, "Lingfeng, don't you want to get even with them?"

Ouyang Lingfeng no longer suppressed the killing intent in his heart. Immediately, he revealed a ruthless look, "Disciple will naturally take revenge for this!"

Ghost Doctor nodded his head in satisfaction, "Alright. Disciple, you go and save your little girl first. However, be careful. After all, your identity has been exposed."

" Yes, master. "

"Jiegeng, the weather today is not bad. You can accompany Big Sister out for a walk. I have been stuck in the house for the past few days and I am about to get moldy." Shihan's spirit had already recovered by eighty to ninety percent.

"Sister, can you do it? Don't force yourself. I think we should rest for a few more days. " Jiegeng was really worried about Shihan's body. After all, Shihan's face was still as pale as before.

"Please, don't look at my complexion. You just feel that I am so weak that I can't stand the wind. Who was bleeding so much, but his face didn't look like that? This good complexion is slowly recovering." In order to show that she was fine, Shihan even deliberately knocked Jiegeng's forehead.

" Ah, it hurts, elder sister! " Jiegeng touched her forehead and complained. "Why did you hit me for no reason?"

"In order to prove to you, I'm really very good!"

"Okay, okay, okay. I'm afraid of you. Let's go out."

"I'm going to the woods outside the city. I've almost finished my stroll the day I came to Anyang City."

When they arrived outside the city, Jiegeng could not help but ask, "What's there to stroll about here?" Jiegeng looked around, "Other than trees, there are still trees."

"Little Jiegeng, why are you so agitated? Look more at the blue sky and white clouds, the green trees and green hills. It will help to nourish one's body and sex!" Shihan immediately understood.

Jiegeng immediately put her hand on Shihan's forehead, "This is just removing the poison, why did elder sister's character change so much? Could it be that she has a fever?"

Shihan immediately took Jiegeng's hand away, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Suddenly, the sky was filled with purple flower petals, and the entire forest suddenly turned into a rain of flower petals.

Jiegeng was very surprised as she lifted a few flower petals and placed them in her palm. When she put them in, it was actually Jiegeng flower!
