The Prime Minister’s Darling-Chapter 1652 - 798 Long Yi Appears (Two Updates)_3

This was something Long Yi brought with him when he first came to the Princess Residence. He accidentally left it in Princess Xinyang’s room, and Princess Xinyang originally intended to let Yujin return it to him, but she was interrupted by the people preparing for the wedding.

During that period, the late emperor passed away, and the current emperor decreed that she and Xiao Ji should get married during the mourning period.

The entire Princess Residence was so busy that no one had time to catch their breath. Moreover, Long Yi never asked for that item, so she had forgotten all about the jade ring in a blink of an eye.

Twenty years have passed, and if it weren’t for this time when she was tidying up the old things and found it, she might not have remembered this jade ring for the rest of her life.

Princess Xinyang sighed, "How did I manage to forget it completely at that time?"

Yujin comforted, "Mainly because you weren’t sure if it was Long Yi’s. All five Dragon Shadow Guards had been to your room, and a jade ring appeared on the carpet after they left. Who could know whose it was?"

The reason they could identify it now was that Princess Xinyang had called all five of them, and the other four had no reaction to the jade ring, while Long Yi kept staring at it.

At this moment, Long Yi was sitting cross-legged under the hallway.

The weather was so hot, Princess Xinyang saw him like to sit there, so she laid a mat for him.

Long Yi could sit there for a whole day.

When Long Yi first came to the Princess Residence, Princess Xinyang could not distinguish him from the Dragon Shadow Guards.

Thinking carefully now, in addition to her insufficient understanding of the Dragon Shadow Guards, there was also an important reason that Long Yi was indeed a death warrior.

As for why he mistakenly entered the Princess Residence, it was probably because he didn’t remember who he was, so when he saw the death warriors with the same aura as him, he assumed he was one of them.

He saw that their mission was to protect her, so he mistakenly thought it was his mission too.

Maybe, it was time for Long Yi to find his true identity and fulfill his true mission.

...

Gu Jiao slept for two hours straight, and when she opened her eyes, Liao Chen was already gone.

Gu Jiao slowly sat up, rubbed her sore neck, and said to the Black Wind King, "Is it so late already? Sorry for making you carry me for so long."

She dismounted the horse and stretched her muscles.

Then she led the Black Wind King to a nearby well, borrowed a bucket from a villager drawing water by the well, and drew a bucket of water to wash the bloodstains off her body.

By the time she returned to the Duke Residence, her wet clothes had already dried.

No one could tell that she had coughed up blood or was injured.

She entered the residence as if nothing had happened.

Today, Xiaojingkong came over, and the Feng Courtyard was filled with the small noises of his bickering with Gu Yan.

In the hallway, Duke An sat in a wheelchair playing chess with the old scholar. On a rattan chair beside them, Auntie held a small jar, munching on preserved fruits.

In the courtyard, Gu Xiaoshun was learning new mechanism skills from Master Lu, Mistress Nan was still engrossed in poison making, and Gu Chengfeng was dragged to be the referee for Xiaojingkong and Gu Yan, making him feel like he had two heads from their noise.

Standing at the gate of Feng Courtyard, Gu Jiao saw this scene full of the human world’s fireworks.

Everyone seemed to be doing their own thing, but in fact, they were all waiting for her.

They just didn’t say it.

Each of them was protecting her in their own way.

All the pain and fatigue in Gu Jiao’s body seemed to disappear in that instant.

She led the Black Wind King and walked into the courtyard with her usual big strides.

The Han Family.

Miao Ruoxin had confirmed the treatment plan for the Han Family’s heir.

Han Laotaiye, Han Lei, and Han Sanye were all in the heir’s room, waiting for Miao Ruoxin’s diagnosis.

Miao Ruoxin said, "The heir’s Achilles tendon has been severed. To recover, it must be reattached, but he has already missed the best time for surgery. The wound appears healed, but the unconnected parts are not attached. The plan I am going to use may sound very dangerous, but it is the most practical and effective."

"What plan?" Han Lei asked.

Miao Ruoxin glanced at the handsome Han Family heir on the bed and turned to the three men, "Sever his Achilles tendon again, and I will perform surgery to reattach it."

Han Sanye couldn’t believe it, "Seriously? He has to go through it again? Are you sure you are saving him and not killing him? Could you be a spy sent by the Duke Residence to our Han Family?"

Han Laotaiye looked darkly at Miao Ruoxin.

Miao Ruoxin quickly said, "Third Master, you misunderstand me. How could I be a spy of Duke An? I have nothing to do with him anymore. As I said, I came to your esteemed family seeking a prosperous future. You give me the status of a Shang Country person, I cure your family’s heir, and we owe each other nothing."

Han Laotaiye said, "I have never heard of such a treatment method. Miss Miao, are you truly confident?"

Miao Ruoxin arrogantly said, "This kind of surgery is just a minor problem like a cold to my master, Doctor Luo. Although I am not as talented, I have assisted my master in several Achilles tendon surgeries."

Han Lei thought for a moment, "Father, I still think it’s inappropriate."

"Grandfather."

From the bed came the voice of the long-silent Han Family heir, "Grandson is willing to try."

Han Lei frowned, "Ye’er, if it goes wrong, your leg injury will be hopeless... I have been trying to petition the emperor, asking him to order the National Master Hall to treat you."

Han Ye shook his head, "Father, you should understand that the National Master Hall won’t treat me. Moreover, the crown prince and the noble consort have repeatedly offended the emperor, and he doesn’t want to bother with our Han Family. Let’s proceed according to Doctor Miao’s plan. When can the surgery start?"

Miao Ruoxin said, "It can be done right now. Ah, by the way, I just remembered something."

The others looked at her.

She smiled and said, "I was living well in Duke An’s Residence when he suddenly ended my treatment on the grounds that I was homesick. Coincidentally, on the same day, I saw Xiao Liulang move into the Duke Residence. I don’t know if there is any connection between these two events."

Han Lei thought for a moment, "Xiao Liulang is his adopted son. It’s not unreasonable for him to live in the Duke Residence."

Miao Ruoxin smiled faintly, "But why did they have to send me away? That’s the suspicious point, isn’t it?"

Han Lei asked, "Did Xiao Liulang move into the Duke Residence alone?"

Miao Ruoxin sighed, "I don’t know, there were two carriages in the back. As for what was inside, I didn’t see." freёnovelkiss.com

Han Lei leaned over and whispered in Han Laotaiye’s ear, "Father, could it be that Xiao Liulang’s family is hiding in the Duke Residence? No wonder we couldn’t find them!"

Han Laotaiye lowered his voice and calmly said, "No need to rush, we can send someone to investigate later. Right now, the most important thing is Ye’er’s injury."

Saying this, he folded his hands on the handle of his cane and looked at Miao Ruoxin, "Then please have Miss Miao perform the surgery for my grandson. But let me make it clear, if anything happens to my grandson, Miss Miao will pay with her own life!"

...

The night was deep and quiet.

After sending off the last little chatterbox, Gu Jiao could finally enjoy her bed.

She lay on the soft bed, staring at the pearl-hung canopy.

The place where Dark Soul had injured her was faintly aching.

She pressed her shoulder with one hand and placed the other under her head, "He hit so hard; one day I’ll catch him in a sack!"

She was too tired and fell asleep soon.

That night, she had a dream.

Different from any foreshadowing dream before, it was the first time she saw her own ending.
