Chapter 81: Chapter 68: Treating Xiao Jinxing (6000 words)

Lu You brought a dagger with trembling hands.

Ye Qichi made a cut on her finger.

Lu You was startled.

Just as she was about to scream out loud.

She saw Ye Qichi applying ointment on her wound.

Ye Qichi frowned.

It was obviously painful.

"Princess..." Lu You couldn’t help calling out to her.

Ye Qichi endured the pain and said, "Do you remember how long it took for the cut on my finger to heal the last time I showed it to you?"

Lu You thought for a moment, "It seemed like just a little while."

"Then watch closely now." Ye Qichi placed her finger in front of Lu You.

Lu You stared intently at the Princess’s finger.

For a long time.

There was no sign of the finger healing; instead, the wound seemed to have festered even more.

Lu You exclaimed, "It’s really poisoned!"

Ye Qichi nodded.

"How did you know, Princess?!" Lu You looked at the Princess with utter admiration.

To say she was born with it would be too much of a boast.

In any case.

She wiped the ointment from her finger with clean water, and then the finger began to heal bit by bit.

She said, "Now you see how the Prince treats me, right?!"

Lu You bit her lip.

She truly hadn’t expected the Prince to be so cruel and ruthless.

No matter what, the Princess had taken the blame for him; the Prince should be grateful.

"Help me up," Ye Qichi called to Lu You.

She was rather calm.

How bad Xiao Jinxing, that scoundrel, was, she knew perfectly well.

Lu You quickly helped Ye Qichi to get up, then changed her into clean clothes and looked after her to sleep.

Ye Qichi was really tired.

She was tormented nearly all of last night, and had been through so much this morning, now lying on the bed, she almost fell asleep instantly.

Lu You was actually tired, too.

Worried about the Princess all of last night, she hadn’t slept a wink.

Early this morning, she was called to the Imperial Palace.

After such an ordeal, naturally, she was extremely tired.

So she leaned on the edge of Ye Qichi’s bed and also fell asleep.

When the two woke up, it was because someone was calling them.

Lu You, her body aching sorely, stood up to open the door.

It was already dark outside.

She didn’t know how many hours she and the Princess had slept, then she saw Xiao Wu at the door, looking extremely anxious.

"Lord Wu." Lu You bowed to Xiao Wu.

"Is the Princess here?" Xiao Wu asked with urgency in his voice.

"The Princess is still sleeping, what’s the matter?" Lu You was somewhat puzzled.

"The Prince, the Prince suddenly has a fever, and it’s not subsiding," Xiao Wu said urgently, "The Princess has superb medical skills, please have the Princess have a look at the Prince."

Lu You was about to agree immediately.

But thinking of what the Prince had done to the Princess, even framing her with poisoned ointment, she was fuming with anger.

She said, "The Princess is currently injured and weak, she doesn’t have the strength to treat the Prince’s injuries. I ask for Lord Wu’s understanding."

After finishing her words, and bowing again, she was ready to close the door.

"May I speak a few words with the Princess," Wu pleaded.

"The Princess hasn’t woken up yet; let’s talk when she does."

"Miss Lu You, please," Xiao Wu clasped his hands together and bowed to Lu You.

Xiao Wu being so polite made Lu You feel somewhat guilty.

Although the Prince was indeed terrible, Xiao Wu himself had done no wrong.

Seeing Lord Wu’s anxious demeanor, Lu You finally nodded, "Wait here, I’ll ask the Princess. If the Princess is unwilling, there’s nothing I can do."

"Thank you, Miss Lu You," Xiao Wu appeared very respectful.

Lu You closed the door, then walked back to the edge of the screen where the bed was.

At this point, Ye Qichi had actually already woken up.

Having slept for a bit too long, she woke up feeling limp all over.

But she heard the entire conversation between Lu You and Xiao Wu clearly.

She flatly refused, "No audience."

Lu You paused, not yet realizing what had happened.

"I will not see anyone associated with Xiao Jinxing."

"Understood," Lu You respectfully said.

Having come to understand the Princess’s character over time, Lu You had some idea of what to expect; the Princess surely wouldn’t bother with the Prince after how he had treated her.

Lu You quickly walked back to the door, "My apologies, Lord Wu, the Princess is weak and still unconscious, she really can’t help."

"May I speak a few words with the Princess."

"It’s not convenient... Lord Wu!" Lu You hadn’t finished speaking.

Xiao Wu walked straight into the room.

Lu You was startled.

A man entering a woman’s chambers uninvited was outrageous.

Just as Lu You was about to scream out loud.
