Evil Prince, Come Play With Me

670 Chase

The chief doctor was so scared that his hands shook. This was his first time encountering such a thing.

She had been fine just a moment ago. Why did things suddenly change? Her pulse was so chaotic that he couldn’t understand what was going on.

Lu Fenying left the royal palace and rushed back to the crown prince’s residence. Before he got off the horse, Red Wolf rushed out. “Your Highness, it’s good that you’re back. Something happened to Miss Qian’er.”

Lu Fenying’s face changed drastically. He didn’t even get off his horse as he rode right into the residence.

“What’s going on?” Lu Fenying asked impatiently as he stepped into the yard.

“The chief doctor prescribed a blood supplement for Miss Qian’er. She was fine at first, but she soon started to vomit and convulse. The chief doctor used acupuncture but it wasn’t any use. Her breathing is now weaker, like...”

It was the first time that Red Wolf couldn’t be as blunt. He couldn’t bring himself to say the words.

He felt that if he did, the crown prince would attack him without any hesitation, even if it was him.

The crown prince had never been nice to Mo Qian’er, but absolutely wouldn’t allow her to leave him.

That was Red Wolf’s most straightforward understanding.

Lu Fenying rushed into the room and saw that Mo Qian’er’s face was pale and her body was twitching. Brown medicinal liquid covered the pillow.

“Your... Your Highness... I don’t know how it turned out like this... Logically speaking, Miss Qian’er’s body should be fine...” The slightly flustered chief doctor knelt down in fear.

He couldn’t do anything about the sudden change in Qian’er.

The chief doctor felt miserable when he realized that he might lose his head.

“I don’t want to hear that. Hurry up and help her!” Lu Fenying pulled him up, his face frighteningly cold.

“Your Highness... I have no other way. Miss Qian’er’s pulse is too chaotic for me to understand. I’ve tried everything, but nothing works, and I don’t dare administer any medicine... It might make her worse.”

Lu Fenying kicked him away and leaned over to pick up Mo Qian’er and leave.

Red Wolf went up to him with a fur coat. “Your Highness, cover Miss Qian’er. It’s snowing outside.”

Lu Fenying took it and covered Mo Qian’er tightly before he got on his horse and sped off.

The chief doctor was the best doctor in Heavenly Wind Empire. If the chief doctor couldn’t do anything, Lu Fenying had no choice but to look for the witch doctor in Five Poisons Forest.

What was supposed to be an hour’s trip was accomplished in less than a quarter of an hour.

However... the cottage in Five Poisons Forest was empty. Even the brazier wasn’t lit.

Given how cold it was, that blind old woman would definitely have lit a fire.

Red Wolf checked out the place and reported, “Your Highness, it looks like the witch doctor left two days ago. The decoction pot hasn’t been used in that long. Also, there are no clothes here and there’s no ash in the brazier.”

Mo Qian’er’s body had been shaking the entire time in Lu Fenying’s arms. Her eyes were closed and her brow was tightly furrowed. Her face looked black and blue, like she had been beaten up; it was completely unlike her usual beauty.

Lu Fenying hugged her tightly, suddenly recalling what Gu Bailu had said before she left.

“On no account should you touch her. If you touch her, I can’t guarantee that she’ll survive. You mustn’t touch her.” Regret flashed in Lu Fenying’s eyes. How could he have forgotten this warning?

“Go after Princess Zi. They shouldn’t have left Heavenly Wind Empire yet. Give the order that they’re not to leave the border.”

He then got on his horse and chased after them.

Red Wolf hurried after him and exhorted, “Your Highness, Prince Zi and Princess Zi left yesterday. It’s been almost two days and they might have crossed the border already. Even if they haven’t, we might not be able to stop them.”
