Chapter 844: Chapter 845 He Caused Him Quite a Bit of Trouble

Gong Juechen looked terrified, "Jingjing, Changyi, you can leave if you want, but take me with you. I don’t know Martial Arts, and I have a sharp tongue. If I accidentally offend someone, wouldn’t I be courting death?"

Impatiently, An Jing said, "Aren’t you considered a genius in both medicine and poison? Even if you don’t know Martial Arts, you shouldn’t be so easily courting death."

"I’m still scared..." Gong Juechen looked both fearful and aggrieved.

An Jing was exasperated. It seemed like this man really would die if he didn’t put on an act!

Su Chengjin said, "Palace Doctor, why don’t you stay at the Fifth Prince’s Mansion? I will assign many people to protect you."

Gong Juechen responded in a very soft voice, yet with due respect, "The Fifth Prince has so many people protecting him, but still, he was poisoned... and kept being poisoned..."

Su Chengjin suddenly fell silent. Although he was angry with Gong Juechen for losing his face, he couldn’t deny that what Gong Juechen had said was true, leaving him speechless and without a retort.

An Jing said, "If you’re not staying here at the Fifth Prince’s Mansion, can you cure the poison all at once?"

"That’s not the case. It should take three treatments and about seven days to completely eliminate the poison from the Fifth Prince’s body," Gong Juechen honestly replied.

After pondering for a moment, An Jing said, "It’s better to treat the poison sooner rather than later. I think you should stay here at the Fifth Prince’s. I’ll have Meng Zhuqing come to protect you later, agreed?"

"Agreed, but, I have to go back with you two first, and then come here with Zhuzhu." Immediately afterward, Gong Juechen made a sorrowful face, as if he was about to cry, "Jingjing, I’m not ready to die yet. Never mind that, what I really don’t want is to die without understanding why. The Fifth Prince has been poisoned for such a long time before it was discovered. If I were to be suddenly assassinated by a masked man in black, I would die with my eyes wide open in unrest..."

An Jing was speechless for a long while, then turned to look at Xiao Changyi. Seeing that Xiao Changyi had no objections, An Jing finally said, "Alright, you can come back with us first, then come here to stay with Meng Zhuqing. But have you prepared your list?"

"Wait for me a bit longer; there’s still a little left to write," Gong Juechen quickly walked over to the desk and continued to work on his list.

As he wrote, he muttered, "Once this list is done, and everything on it is prepared, it should take roughly four hours to be ready. When I go back and bring Zhuzhu with me, we should be able to start treating the Fifth Prince’s poisoning right away, without any delay."

Upon hearing that his treatment wouldn’t be delayed, Su Chengjin made no objection to Gong Juechen going back with An Jing and Xiao Changyi first.

Once Gong Juechen finished the list, he handed it to Su Chengjin, then left the Fifth Prince’s Mansion with An Jing and Xiao Changyi.

The moment they stepped out of the Fifth Prince’s Mansion, Gong Juechen let out a huge sigh of relief, showing his sweaty palms to An Jing and Xiao Changyi, "Changyi, Jingjing, look, I really was scared. I wasn’t lying to you."

Xiao Changyi remained expressionless and silent, behaving as if Gong Juechen didn’t even exist.

An Jing glanced sideways and said, "If you don’t want another cold stare then take your hands back!"

"I’m really scared..." Gong Juechen wore a look of grievance, as if he couldn’t believe they weren’t taking him seriously.

Of course, this was all an act by Gong Juechen.

And why were Gong Juechen’s palms sweaty? The reason was simple; he was too excited. He had given Su Haoyu quite a bit of trouble~

Xiao Changyi didn’t even look at Gong Juechen. He mounted his horse, then with one hand on the reins, he extended the other hand towards An Jing.
