She sought refuge with the mysterious person, whom she had yet to see. If she proved to be of little use to this mysterious figure in the future, she could easily be killed by the Ice Blood Sect Master assassin!
To the mysterious person, she was merely a pawn.
As for Cang Yile, she felt a sense of shared misery; after all these years working for the mysterious person, he was just another piece on the chessboard.
...
Then Canglong Hui's arrogant tone jolted Xia Yuhan from her thoughts: "It can be done, but This King wants to see with his own eyes how you treat her!"
"Yu Han's medical skills were taught by a Reclusive Master and are not to be shared. If the prince wishes to see, that is fine, but right now, it may not be very convenient. Because Yu Han had to tear away Madam's lower garments to treat her..."
Xia Yuhan spoke calmly while thinking: If Canglong Hui wants to watch in this situation, as long as you can put aside your pride, I, Xia Yuhan, will dare to save her in front of you!
Canglong Hui shot a furious glare at Xia Yuhan: "Xia Yuhan, you are quite bold!"
"I'll give you half an hour. If you do not come out of the carriage in that time, I will kill my way in!"
Xia Yuhan replied with a smile: "Yes, my lord!"
At that moment, a burly man handed her a bowl of clear water. Xia Yuhan took it with both hands and returned to the carriage.
Half an hour is enough! Now she would administer the pain relief Western Medicine to Mother of the Strong Man. Half an hour should be sufficient for it to take effect; however, if she wanted her to stand again in the future, continuous treatment would be necessary.
After giving Madam the Western Medicine, Xia Yuhan let out a long sigh of relief. If it weren't for the automatic upgrade of the Treasure Chest, which provided great convenience in finding medicine and tools today, it would have been troublesome if Canglong Hui barged in and saw the IV saline bottles; that would not have been good!
She might even be regarded as a monster.
"Madam, are you feeling better?" Xia Yuhan looked at Madam's pair of murky eyes, which gradually became clearer, and her complexion improved compared to before. It must be the effect of the combined Eastern and Western treatment.
"Thank you, Sister Xie, for caring about Commoner. Second Sister is truly our family's savior! Commoner is feeling much better now. Updating immediately."
Xia Yuhan estimated the time; it had been almost half an hour: "Madam, try moving your legs a bit and see if you can stand up? I'll help you."
...
Canglong Hui grew increasingly impatient as he waited in the courtyard, while the villagers of Xia Yang Village kneeling on the ground felt fear in their hearts and looked anxious.
The black-clad individuals hiding in the shadows also began to grow restless: What on earth is Xia Yuhan doing? Is she trying to buy time? This woman should not play this trick if she doesn't know medicine; if she calls for help sooner, wouldn't he come to rescue her?
After such a long time, whether it was those monitoring Xia Yuhan or those secretly protecting her, they all knew that Xia Yuhan was treating a villager for Leg Disease.
General Xia became even angrier after hearing this news. How could his own daughter not understand? How could Xia Yuhan know anything about Leg Disease? If this led Longhui Prince to find a handle against her, what would he do?
Just as rumors had just begun to settle down, if someone were to secretly cause trouble again and stir up another wave of rumors, what could he do? How could he leave the capital with peace of mind to travel to Four Directions City?
If it really came to that, he would have no choice but to take Xia Yuhan with him to Four Directions City!
Without any reason, he just wanted to protect her!
In the past, he thought that deliberately being indifferent towards her, not paying attention to her, and letting her grow up quietly and peacefully in Xia Manor was the best way to protect her.
But now he realized he was wrong; he shouldn't have been so cold towards her. If he hadn't let her grow up in loneliness, she wouldn't treat him so coldly as a father!
His love for Xia Yuhan was deeper than for anyone else; he had just been hiding his affection for her due to a certain matter!
Sigh... He has his own unavoidable difficulties!
At this moment, the carriage door was pushed open by Xia Yuhan, and the first person to appear before everyone was not Xia Yuhan, but the Mother of the Strong Man!
Look! The Mother of the Strong Man actually stood up! It's simply a miracle! The villagers of Xia Yang Village all widened their mouths and looked up at the Mother of the Strong Man.
The big man himself was stunned; this Second Sister was simply a living deity! Not only was her medical skill superb, but she was also incredibly kind!
The hidden figure in black couldn't help but marvel: This woman is becoming more and more extraordinary! She is clever and always causes trouble, what a hassle!
The Old Village Chief also widened his old eyes in disbelief: What? This scoundrel Xia Yuhan actually made her stand up? Isn't that very unfavorable for him? This Xia Yuhan is indeed not an ordinary person as Madam said; he is difficult to deal with. Could it be that he only has one killing move left?
Xia Yuhan helped the Mother of the Big Man down from the carriage, and there was still a long silence around them, so quiet that one could hear their own heartbeat. For more chapters, please visit.
This time treating the Mother of the Big Man was purely a stroke of luck, as her mother's condition was exactly like her grandmother's leg ailment, which allowed her to prescribe the right treatment.
Otherwise, after being away from medicine for many years, facing such difficult cases would inevitably lead to misdiagnosis!
Xia Yuhan was quite fortunate; even Old was helping her this time!
From beginning to end, Canglong Hui remained silent. He did not speak, and everyone held their breath cautiously. Xia Yuhan naturally knew that Canglong Hui was secretly observing something, so she did not interrupt but quietly supported the Mother of the Big Man while waiting.
"Xia Yuhan, this King really has his eyes on you!" Unfortunately, he probably couldn't win over Xia Yuhan's heart now. "Tell me, how much wealth do you want from This King before you agree to treat Father Emperor's illness?"
If he couldn't win her over, then he would resort to bribery. Right now, curing his father's leg pain was crucial! If it weren't for the Imperial Physician in the palace being helpless about it, why would he rush over here in such a hurry to find Xia Yuhan to negotiate a deal?
Unknowingly, Canglong Hui's gaze towards Xia Yuhan changed; it was no longer filled with hatred and disdain, but rather a hint of ambiguity: how wonderful it would be if he had a woman by his side like Xia Yuhan! It would save him a lot of trouble!
Previously, he had teamed up with the Queen to plot against Xia Yuhan, intending to have her killed so that he could propose to Xia Manor as soon as the rumors died down and win over General Xia.
But at this moment, he suddenly changed his mind. Since Xia Yuhan had the ability to quell the rumors herself and proved her innocence, could it be that he could propose again? Not only would he bring Xia Yuhan under his control, eliminating the worry of being pulled away by other forces to deal with him, but he would also win over General Xia.
How had he not thought of such a beneficial plan before?
Xia Yuhan looked at Canglong Hui's proud chin and said softly, "Your Highness traveled a long way to seek medical help for the Emperor. This act of filial piety is touching, but Yu Han's medical skills are limited. I cannot bear to see this Madam suffer from illness, which is why I intervened. Moreover, Yu Han's skills have been neglected for many years; compared to the Imperial Physician in the palace, they are truly not worth mentioning."
The hidden figure in black, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but smile broadly, suddenly feeling balanced inside: it turned out this woman was not only refusing him but was giving him much more face compared to Canglong Hui! Hahaha!
Canglong Hui's mouth twitched slightly: couldn't this woman give him a little respect? How could she refuse him in front of so many people? Where was his dignity?
"Xia Yuhan, don't push your luck!"
"Every word from Yu Han is true. I do not know where I have offended Your Highness; please punish me!" What she wanted was neither wealth nor power; she only sought an opportunity to delve deeper into their world. However, now was not the right time; she could only wait for that moment.
She certainly couldn't just move into his royal residence or become a female Imperial Physician in the palace!
However, it was evident to everyone that helping someone who had been disabled for many years stand again was no small feat. The Emperor had searched throughout the Azure Dragon Kingdom and found no Divine Doctor capable of curing his leg pain. Coincidentally, Canglong Hui was a very pragmatic person; even if he did not achieve his goal this time, he would surely come looking for Xia Yuhan again next time.
Canglong Hui's personal guard quickly spoke up to help him find a way out: "Your Highness, this visit was somewhat rushed; perhaps Divine Doctor Xia is not yet prepared. Otherwise, we can treat her with great respect next time and invite her out?"
Canglong Hui arrogantly lifted his chin: "Hmph! Divine Doctor Xia? Xia Yuhan, since that's the case, I will give you some time to consider; withdraw!"
"Oh? By the way, I almost forgot something. Now that your rumors have subsided and you have proven your innocence, the marriage between Xia Manor and me is still on. I will go to Xia Manor to propose early! Hahaha..."
Hearing this was an immense honor for everyone, but for Xia Yuhan, it was nothing but irony and utilitarianism.
Canglong Hui, that despicable person, undoubtedly intended to trap her for life! Then he would force her to do all sorts of things she was unwilling to do! He might even take action against Cang Yile! If it were just dealing with the assassin behind Cang Yile, the Ice Blood Sect Master, that would be one thing; but Cang Yile, she would never harm him!
Because he and she were both lost souls.
Though he was a high-ranking prince, he was ultimately just a person of little significance, forced to obey a killer's commands.
Although she came from a noble background, born into the Jiang Family of Generals, she was still a woman of illegitimate birth, and her chastity had been inexplicably taken from her!
Long after Canglong Hui left, Xia Yuhan remained in a daze. If it weren't for Madam calling her, she might not have known how long she would be lost in thought.
"Second Sister, Second Sister? Are you alright? Marrying into the royal residence is a good thing; how many women dream of such an opportunity?"
"Madam, Yu Han actually envies you very much."
While they were talking, Sun Liuxiang and the tall man had already arrived beside them. Xia Yuhan carefully handed the arm supporting Madam to the tall man: "I'm sorry, tall man. I can only temporarily alleviate your mother's pain; if she wants to fully recover in the future, it will require a long period of treatment."
