Chapter 211: Chapter 212 Chu Nanli Couldn’t Possibly Die

Looking at the ruins destroyed by fire, Lin Fuying immediately realized.

That little slut, Chu Nanli, must have been burned to death.

She had finally removed a lingering concern from her heart.

Looking at Brother Yunting, he seemed to be grieving for her.

Lin Fuying had always felt that Ye Yunting cared about Chu Nanli.

Watching him distressed over Chu Nanli, a flicker of jealousy passed through Lin Fuying’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

So what if he cared about Chu Nanli? Chu Nanli was already dead!

"Brother Yunting, please restrain your grief. I believe sister would also not wish to see you so heartbroken..."

She gently wrapped her arms around Ye Yunting from behind, only to be promptly shaken off.

"Chu Nanli cannot possibly be dead!"

He stared intently at Lin Fuying, his eyes terrifyingly dark.

Lin Fuying was taken aback, but she quickly ran to the forefront of the ruins and started to cry softly.

"Yes, sister couldn’t possibly be dead! Yingying doesn’t believe it either."

"How could sister just die so easily? I must find sister! I will find sister!"

While crying, she began to claw at the ruins in front of her as if trying to dig Chu Nanli out.

"Sister, please come out, don’t scare Yingying, wuu wuu, it’s all Yingying’s fault...

I don’t believe you just died like this, won’t you please come out!"

Lin Fuying, as if mad, sprawled on the ground, scraping through the ashes. There were still embers in the freshly extinguished ashes, her hands were red from burns, yet she did not stop.

Of course, her display of deep grief was only for Ye Yunting to see.

As expected, it wasn’t long before she was hoisted up from behind.

It was Ye Yunting, with a dark expression, who pulled her out of the ashes.

Her heart warmed, Brother Yunting truly still cared about her.

"Wuu wuu, Brother Yunting, it’s all Yingying’s fault." She leaned weakly into Ye Yunting’s embrace.

"If it weren’t for Yingying, sister wouldn’t have been locked up and wouldn’t have... wuu wuu..."

Lin Fuying’s eyes were red, crying with a face full of self-reproach.

"It’s not your fault."

Ye Yunting’s face was stern, his gaze growing even darker.

"Someone, search! I want to see her alive or, if she’s dead, I want to see her body!"

He couldn’t believe that Chu Nanli would die so easily.

With her strong-willed nature, how could she die without putting up a fight?

A glint of satisfaction flickered in Lin Fuying’s eyes.

Ye Yunting had not blamed her, which was good.

Let him search; how could he possibly find anything?

Chu Nanli had probably turned to ashes by now.

She had nailed the doors and windows shut; even if that wretched woman had the ability to sprout wings, she couldn’t have escaped.

The servants, following Ye Yunting’s command, immediately began to search.

The woodshed was actually quite small; the ruins were filled with the ash of dry wood, and not much could be found within.

About a quarter of an hour later, a trembling servant came to report.

"Report to the Prince, we found nothing..."

Ye Yunting’s face turned black in an instant, his eyes chillingly cold.

"Chu Nanli, this is indeed your trickery!"

If a person were dead, how could there be nothing left, not even a piece of bone?

Chu Nanli must have started the fire herself to escape.

Realizing he had been played by Chu Nanli, the intense cold emanating from him was like that of King Yanluo from hell.

The servants looked at each other, feeling an icy chill across their bodies as the Prince seemed extremely terrifying.

"Continue the search! Seal off the entire city if necessary to find Chu Nanli!"

...

Chu Nanli slowly came to her senses, and upon opening her eyes, she saw Ye Jiuxiao lazily leaning against the long bench opposite her bed.

His three thousand strands of black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, making his extraordinarily handsome face seem even more ethereal and otherworldly.

"How come you..."

Before Chu Nanli could finish speaking, memories flashed rapidly through her mind, and she remembered that it was Ye Jiuxiao who’d helped her once again.

"Thank you," Chu Nanli said gratefully.

"No need for thanks, we are allies," Ye Jiuxiao replied indifferently.

His voice was gentle and magnetic, but if one listened carefully, a hint of fatigue-laden hoarseness could be detected.

"Have you been here this whole time?" Chu Nanli lifted her head towards the window, noticing that daylight was beginning to break.

He couldn’t have been watching over her all night, could he?

"Yes."

Ye Jiuxiao nodded slightly. "Physician Lin said you needed someone to look after you. Do you feel unwell anywhere right now?"

Chu Nanli shook her head, "No, I’m fine now."

She had detected the danger early the day before, and had been rescued before the flames could spread, so she wasn’t seriously harmed.

Instead, it was Ye Jiuxiao who looked somewhat pale at the moment.

He was already stricken with a severe poison and had not rested all night, which surely his body couldn’t withstand.

Chu Nanli grabbed Ye Jiuxiao’s wrist in a swift motion to take his pulse, her brows gradually furrowing during the process.

"Did the Cold Poison act up last night?" Chu Nanli asked sternly.

Ye Jiuxiao did not reply, his expression remained indifferent.

Chu Nanli knew she had hit the nail on the head.

"Why didn’t you wake me when the Cold Poison acted up?" Chu Nanli said with slight anger.

She felt that Ye Jiuxiao did not take his own health seriously enough.

Not only did he not call her when the poison flared up, but he also took no measures and simply endured it.

Did he think he was made of iron?

"It’s nothing," Ye Jiuxiao dismissed it unconcernedly. "Are you hungry?"

For some reason, the more Chu Nanli saw his indifferent demeanor, the angrier she became.

"Your attitude has left me quite fed up; I have never seen a patient neglect his own well-being to this extent.

Last night when the poison erupted, you didn’t take any measures, what would you have done if something serious happened?"

Especially since she was a physician, if a patient had an emergency right under her watch, she would feel guilty for a lifetime.

Ye Jiuxiao, observing Chu Nanli’s earnest and serious manner, suddenly let out a chuckle.

Then he saw Chu Nanli’s expression grow even more serious, her delicate and beautiful little face nearly crumpling into a frown.

"Alright. It won’t happen again,"

Ye Jiuxiao spoke sincerely, returning to his indifferent facade, but the mirth in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Chu Nanli didn’t understand how this man could be so cheerful even after being scolded.

"As long as you’re aware. The medicine I gave you last time, do you still have it? Take it quickly, and later I will give you acupuncture," Chu Nanli instructed.

"Alright. I’ll have someone bring the medicine over in a bit," Ye Jiuxiao said.

"You don’t carry it with you?" Chu Nanli asked, a bit surprised.

As soon as his words fell, a knock on the door sounded from outside.

Curious about who it might be, Chu Nanli then saw Physician Lin come in with the medicine pills.

"Prince, look at how frantic you were that you even forgot your medicine. Lucky for you, this old man got up early and noticed,"

Ye Jiuxiao was meticulous in his actions.

This was the first time he had seen Ye Jiuxiao forget to carry something, especially something as essential as medicine.

He surmised that Ye Jiuxiao was frenetic with concern.

Last night, Ye Jiuxiao had indeed neglected his usual caution.

After hurrying through his bath and changing into clean clothes, he wanted to rush over to check on Chu Nanli’s condition, inadvertently forgetting to take the medicine from his original clothes.

That was why he hadn’t taken the medicine when the poison flared up the previous night.

"Thank you, Physician Lin," Ye Jiuxiao cooperated, taking the medicine pills and downing them with water immediately.

"What’s formalities between us, Prince? If you truly want to thank me, just take good care of my master," Physician Lin said, turning to Chu Nanli, "Master, are you feeling better? Do you need me to check your pulse?"
