The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 172 - 90: Journey to Chongqing (11) Surprise Search

Chapter 172: Chapter 90: Journey to Chongqing (11) Surprise Search

By the third day, Ye Qichi had everyone in the room recovered from fever and their spirits lifted.

The two doctors were incredulous, not believing that this plague was curable at all.

However, now that their physical conditions had improved, they were forced to believe and were immensely relieved.

Could it be true that there was a Hua Tuo reincarnated in this world?

Ye Qichi checked the pulse of each one, confirming that everyone was stable, before saying, "All is well now, but given that it’s a contagious disease, for safety, let’s continue to quarantine for another week. If everyone remains well after a week, you may go outside!"

"Thank you Divine Doctor Ye, thank you Divine Doctor Ye," two maids said excitedly, kneeling directly on the ground.

They were prepared for certain death, yet unexpectedly, they miraculously recovered.

The two doctors also kept expressing their gratitude.

Pang Yuehuan was young and didn’t truly understand the concept of death, but the thought of going out to see her parents filled her with joy.

Ye Qichi watched their expressions.

This must be the greatest pleasure of being a healer.

She said, "I’ll be leaving shortly. Do exactly as I told you, and I’ll come back to examine you again after the isolation period is over. There are so many people in Yuzhou City infected; I need to go there and treat them."

"Divine Doctor Ye, please be careful," several people implored repeatedly.

"Don’t worry," Ye Qichi smiled.

Afternoon came.

She walked out of the courtyard.

She had already instructed those outside that no one should follow her when she leaves the courtyard; just a servant at a distance to show her the way back to her room was fine. She had requested to have a bath and clean clothes prepared in advance, and then everyone would leave.

The people outside did exactly as instructed.

Ye Qichi entered another courtyard and a room within it.

She took off the clothes she had been wearing for several days, which had become unbearably foul, and lay down in a wooden bathtub.

The long-missed sensation was so comforting that she didn’t want to move even a toe.

She washed her body, pondering over what she needed to do next.

As she thought, drowsiness took her and she fell into a hazy sleep.

The warmth of the wooden bath and her nearly sleepless days made her fall asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

In her dream, she felt someone approaching.

Ye Qichi tried to open her eyes, but they just wouldn’t open; nestled in someone’s arms, she slept again.

When she awoke.

Ye Qichi saw that the sky outside the window had already darkened.

How long had she slept?!

She bolted upright on the bed, looking around.

She remembered that she was in the wooden tub; how did she end up on the bed?

She looked at the clothes she was wearing.

Who dressed her?!

Wasn’t nobody allowed to come close?!

Ye Qichi frowned.

She put on her outer garment, got up, and opened the door.

As the door opened, two maids were standing outside. Seeing Ye Qichi, they quickly greeted her reverently, "Miss Ye."

"What time is it now?" Ye Qichi asked.

"Miss, it’s now the hour of Xu, you’ve been asleep for over two hours," one servant replied promptly.

To have slept for so long.

No wonder her body felt so limp.

"Was it you who brought me to the bed?" Ye Qichi inquired.

"Not at all, Miss Ye, it was Master Xiao," the servant hastily replied, "Master Xiao came over several times, knocked a few times on the door since you didn’t respond. Finally, he couldn’t help but enter. After that, the servant doesn’t know what happened inside; Master Xiao went in alone."

Ye Qichi frowned.

So, the person she sensed embracing her in her sleep was Xiao Jinxing?!

Was he that kind-hearted?!

The key point was, the person in her dream seemed gentle, which was contrary to the impression Xiao Jinxing gave off.

Forget it.

She wasn’t the kind to dwell on things.

After all, on this journey, she had helped Xiao Jinxing so much; surely, he wouldn’t bite the hand that fed him.

"I’m a bit hungry, is there anything to eat?"

"Master Xiao specifically instructed us that once you awoke, Miss Ye, you should go to his courtyard to dine."

"Hmm."

Ye Qichi followed the maid to Xiao Jinxing’s courtyard.

Walking into the room, she saw Xiao Jinxing sitting in a chair, with little Wu standing beside him.

He had all the appearance of waiting for someone.

Ye Qichi looked at them, "Are you waiting for me?"

Xiao Jinxing glanced at Ye Qichi.

His demeanor towards her was very aloof.

Every time little Wu saw the Prince’s attitude towards the Princess, he wanted to sigh a hundred times.

It was clear that today, upon hearing that the Princess had come out of the quarantine, the Prince could hardly wait to see her. After much hesitation, he finally went, but when there was no answer after knocking, the Prince’s temper normally would have kicked the door down. Yet, he turned and left.
