The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1601 - 1688: Worried for Nothing

The Eighth Princess is missing, her whereabouts unknown, and it’s unclear whether she is alive or dead.

The guards of the Eighth Princess spent all day searching for her, almost turning the entire Wanglong Mountain upside down. Eventually, someone descended into the deep valley below the cliff and found some bloodstains by the cold pool at the bottom.

After the incident on Wanglong Mountain that day, the people of the Nanling Lian Family learned that Miss Liansan seemed to have encountered danger, bringing joy to some and sorrow to others.

Joy came to those brothers and sisters who had always been displeased with Lian San, whereas sorrow befell the little maid who rarely left Lian San’s side.

"Miss San, oh Miss San, where on earth are you?"

Some thought that Lian San was dead because she disappeared with the Eighth Princess. Others discovered traces of Lian San falling off a cliff, but the problem was there was no sign of her alive or her body found dead.

There were rumors that the cold pool in the valley had a water monster, and it was possible that these two were swallowed alive by the monster. However, these speculations were merely people’s conjectures. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Bai Xian was injured that day, and the injury was not light. Ever since being rescued by the guards of the Eighth Princess, he has been bedridden, recuperating.

He frequently expresses his concern and inquires to know the whereabouts of the Eighth Princess in front of others, wondering if she is alive or dead, portraying the role of a devoted lover to perfection.

Some loyal guards of the Eighth Princess, unaware of the Mind-Bewitching Gu, thus lamented: Despite Young Master Bai’s inferior background and less than glorious past, his affection for her Highness is as steadfast as gold.

Have you not seen how Young Master Bai, despite his injuries, has been so worried about her Highness that he’s lost all appetite, becoming gaunt and haggard?

Poor Bai Xian, while recovering, still has to maintain a façade of deep worry. Every night, when his stomach growls with hunger, isn’t this his own doing? If you’re acting, you’ve got to commit fully, and thus he must bear the consequences.

That night, Bai Xian lay in bed, with the window of his room open.

He perked up his ears to listen, hearing only the wind and the rustle of leaves.

He supported his injured body to get up, peeked carefully out of the window, and then quietly fished out a dry bun from under his pillow.

Almost devouring it in an instant, he took a big bite and chewed quickly, but then... "Ha, turns out I was worrying for nothing."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!!!"

Bai Xian leaned forward and backward, choking suddenly, and hurriedly tapped his chest hard. However, his shoulders were injured, with the shoulder near the chest, causing excruciating pain in his wounds.

Someone came and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Bai Xian. Bai Xian gulped it down, smoothing the stuck food down his throat, and finally let out a deep sigh of relief.

"Heaven have mercy!" His eyes carried a touch of reproach: "Appearing out of nowhere in the dead of night, scaring people could scare them to death!" He said this in a lowered voice.

The person who came was Shu Yu, dressed in spotless white.

With a light chuckle, he sat on the chair by the table: "I see you’re living quite comfortably."

Bai Xian retorted: "Comfortably? If I were truly comfortable, I wouldn’t be starved like this."

Shu Yu said: "And whose fault is that? It’s you yourself being a drama queen." Speaking of which, the term "drama queen attached body" was something Shu Yu learned from his wife.

Shu Yu took out two small bottles, one black and one white, from his bosom, "I came here thinking you might be under the Mind-Bewitching Gu, fully prepared. These two bottles were given to me by Huiying to bring along, but seeing you like this, they won’t be needed."
