Chapter 145: Chapter 146: Keeping Secrets from Each Other

But how many people can compare to Ye Jiuxiao?

Back in the day, he was an expert horseman in the military camp. Now taking matters into his own hands, the carriage was both fast and stable, swiftly arriving at the Night King’s Estate.

"Summon Physician Lin."

Ye Jiuxiao commanded in a cold voice.

"Yes."

Ye Jiuxiao preferred quietude, and the Prince Residence had few servants; however, those in service were of no ordinary skill.

Physician Lin was a renowned Divine Doctor, also Ye Jiuxiao’s personal physician, attending solely to Ye Jiuxiao.

This time, when Ye Jiuxiao asked him to treat a woman, he was somewhat surprised, yet said nothing more.

Chu Nanli’s condition seemed extremely critical, and Physician Lin’s complexion became slightly fearful after taking her pulse.

"Master, this young lady is pregnant and showing signs of miscarriage!"

Ye Jiuxiao’s eyes deepened, his expression complex.

"How many months is the fetus?"

"Replying to the Prince, about four months."

Ye Jiuxiao’s expression was slightly startled and after a moment, he said indifferently.

"Fetch Zijin, save her."

Physician Lin’s expression was greatly shocked, as Zijin was extremely rare and precious, with only a few strains in the whole world, and moreover, it was reserved for treating his Cold Poison!

However, since the Prince had ordered, he had no choice but to comply.

Chu Nanli was frowning tightly in her unconscious state, still aware of the bursts of pain in her lower abdomen.

It was not until a warm current flowed into her dantian that she seemed to spring back to life.

Barely opening her eyes, she saw a man with a face as fine as jade sitting upright, watching her indifferently.

Chu Nanli hurriedly sat up, immediately recognizing her surroundings upon seeing them.

"Thank you, your Highness, for the rescue."

"No need for such formalities," Ye Jiuxiao said blandly, "Do you feel any discomfort in your body now?"

Chu Nanli no longer felt pain, and the area of her lower abdomen even felt warm; she quickly took her own pulse and found that the fetus had actually stabilized.

Chu Nanli was slightly astonished.

Ye Jiuxiao had used such a precious Zijin on her without a second thought.

"What does the Prince want in return?" Chu Nanli asked calmly.

"No need for repayment; this Prince is merely curious, was the Princess Consort of Chu carrying twins back then?" Ye Jiuxiao looked at Chu Nanli and said.

Chu Nanli’s brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing her reaction, Ye Jiuxiao knew his guess was right.

Back then, she had lost one child, but the other remained in her womb, now just about four months old.

Chu Nanli knew she could no longer keep her secret and nodded without further hiding it.

Ye Jiuxiao’s expression shifted subtly, noting that under such harsh conditions, Chu Nanli had managed to preserve one child, indicating the strength of her mind and will.

"The Prince generously provided medicine to help me, and I am not an ungrateful person."

Chu Nanli paused, "As of tomorrow, I will start treating the Prince’s Cold Poison as repayment."

Ye Jiuxiao’s expression changed slightly, and after a moment, he smiled, "When did you find out?"

"When I ran into you on the back mountain."

"Do you know that besides myself and Physician Lin, no third person alive knows of the Cold Poison?"

"Of course, I’m aware."

"So, are you threatening this Prince, knowing I also have my secrets?" Ye Jiuxiao’s cold eyes narrowed slightly, yet he didn’t get angry, rather appreciating her boldness.

"It’s not really a threat. The Prince knows my secret too. As long as the Prince keeps it for me, I naturally won’t speak of the Prince’s poisoning." Chu Nanli spoke calmly and proudly, "Moreover, I can cure the Prince’s Cold Poison, so the Prince does not lose out."

Ye Jiuxiao scoffed, "Confident in your medical skills, are you?"

It wasn’t that he looked down on Chu Nanli, but over the years, Physician Lin had ceaselessly sought medical advice for him, tried various solutions, none of which had been effective.

He was close to giving up.
