BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1840 - Not Murong Xi?
These small bumps were the residual forbidden drugs that had remained in his body. They would absorb the effects of medicines and hence, prevent his injuries from healing.
Sima You Yue picked up the tweezers and pinched out the little bumps, then she placed them into the small bowl that had been prepared beforehand. She actually filled up the whole bowl.
“It’s more than I thought!” She tweezed out the final one and placed it into the bowl, then she put the tweezers aside. She took out a medicinal pill for treating external injuries and gave it to the Prince.
“Is he fine now?” Yu Yan asked.
“I have done everything I can. Once the Prince has absorbed the potion in this barrel, he can come out.” Sima You Yue said, “The water has to be completely clear before he can come out.”
.
“So simple?” Yu Yan was a little surprised, he thought that it would be very complicated!
“I did say that it is quite a simple process! It’s just that it will be a bit painful.” Sima You Yue said, “Besides, it may appear simple, but the medicinal pill that the Prince has taken and the process of making the potion for the barrel of water is not something that anyone can make.”
The medicinal pill that he had taken was very effective, and that was how the forbidden drugs were forced out of his body. The essence in the water would then nourish his body in the process so that he wouldn’t relapse, and it would also repair the internal organs and vital channels that had been affected by the forbidden drugs. Although it looked simple, if a small mistake was made in the process, it would be useless!
“So he will be fine after he has absorbed the essence?”
“I can only say that he will be fine today.” Sima You Yue said, “He will also have to soak once a day over the next few days.”
“I have to soak everyday?” The Prince felt a little despair, “Can it not be changed into a pill or something?”
“Your body has been worn down severely, and you have just taken such a strong pill, so you are actually very weak right now. How can you withstand the effects of more pills? Soaking in a bath is the gentlest way.” Sima You Yue explained, “The last two days can be changed to pills, but I need to compete and I don’t have the time to refine the pills. Therefore, you will still have to soak in the bath.”
The two of them were speechless, she was the only person who would dare to speak to the Prince in this manner!
After that, Sima You Yue pulled a chair over and sat by the wooden barrel to observe his condition and examine him from time to time.
Two to three hours later, the water in the barrel became clear again.
“Alright, you may come out now, Prince.”
With Sima You Yue’s permission, the Prince got out of the wooden barrel. As he stepped out, his body shook and Yu Yan hurried over to support him.
“The Prince is very weak right now, it is best to take him back to rest.” Sima You Yue said.
Yu Yan picked up his Imperial Father and brought him to the room in the back and placed him on the bed inside. He then pulled the quilt over and covered his Imperial Father.
“Imperial Father, how do you feel?”
“Quite alright, just a bit embarrassed in front of a female junior!” The Prince said embarrassedly.
“Prince is a patient, I am your doctor, you don’t have to feel embarrassed.” Sima said as she walked over, “I have treated many patients like yourself, there is nothing to see.”
Her words were very straightforward, which made the Prince of Great Yu blush.
Upon seeing his Imperial Father’s embarrassment, Yu Yan changed the subject and asked: “When will my Imperial Father recover?”
“Right now he is weak because his body used too much power earlier, although he has absorbed some essence, but the loss is too great.” Sima You Yue said, “He should be fine after a day’s rest.”
“That’s good.”
“You will need to prepare the medicines he needs to use later.” Sima You Yue handed Yu Yan a note, ” These aren’t scarce and should be easy enough to find with your influence.”
Yu Yan took the note and looked at it, “Well, these are available at the pharmacy in the side courtyard. Are these needed for tomorrow?”
“No, I need to use them.” Sima You Yue said, she thought she seemed a bit too straightforward, so she explained, “The medicinal ingredients that I asked you to find earlier have taken up too much of my energy to refine, so I need to replenish my power.”
“Alright, I will get someone to prepare them right away.” Yu Yan walked over to the door and gave the note to the people outside.
“For convenience sake, I will stay here over the next two days. After you have prepared the ingredients, send them to my room.” Sima You Yue said, “I’m tired after a busy night. I’m going back to rest first.”
A maid outside brought her to her room that had been prepared for her.
The Prince of Great Yu lay on his bed, and after she had left the room, he said: “Yan’er, what do you think of Murong Xi?”
“What do you mean?” Yu Yan asked.
“Don’t you think that as a Duke’s daughter, she is ever more powerful than Murong Hui? Which Duke’s children are even half as good as her?” The Prince of Great Yu said.
“I had my doubts about this before too.” Yu Yan said.
“What are your thoughts on this?” The Prince of Great Yu raised his eyes and looked at him.
Yu Yan hesitated only for a moment, then he uttered his conjecture.
“Imperial Father, I think that she may not be Murong Xi.” Yu Yan said.
“Not Murong Xi?”
“Yes.” Yu Yan sat down by the bedside and said, “Does Imperial Father remember about two to three years ago, Great General Di came to find you?
“Of course I remember. He came specially to ask me to pay more attention to the situation in Vast Province.” The Prince of Great Yu said, ” We found it odd at that time and wondered why he cared so much about the situation over there. We thought that it was because Murong Xi and the Dark Princess bore a very strong resemblance to each other.
“Even if they did look alike, he didn’t need to take it to heart, right?” Yu Yan said, “But Great General Di came here especially.”
“That is really curious.” The Prince of Great You responded.
“Furthermore, no matter how biased the rumours were, they shouldn’t be completely different either. If the change is so great, it can only mean that this person is not the one in the rumour at all.” Yu Yan continued to analyse, “Amnesia won’t change a person’s character.”
“Who do you think she is?”
“Can’t Imperial Father guess?” Yu Yan said, “She resembles the Dark Princess so much, and she can gain the Great General Di’s attention, she is also so powerful, other than the daughter of the Dark Princess, Sima You Yue, who else can she be?”
“It seems, you have guessed it a long time ago.” The Prince of Great Yu said.
“Anyone who knew about her affairs in the Human Realm would recognise her when she used her silver needle technique.” Yu Yan said.
“It really is too obvious.” The Prince of Great Yu sighed, “I wonder how she became Murong Xi!”
“We can ask when we get the opportunity in the future. Right now, we will continue to treat her as Murong Xi.” Yu Yan said, “Imperial Father, you are very weak right now, you should rest. We can talk later on.”
After speaking, he got up and left so that his Imperial Father could rest.
When Sima You Yue arrived at her room to rest, she sent the maid away and set up a spirit barrier. She took out a medicinal ingredient and called out Blacky. She handed the medicinal ingredient to it and said: “Eat it.”
Blacky sniffed it and turned its head from side to side. It was pulled back by Sima You Yue who stuffed the medicinal ingredients into its mouth.
