Xiao Yan, on the other hand, no longer spared Dong Yan a glance. After withdrawing his gaze, he lowered his head and pretended to cough twice. “It’s nothing. 1 just haven’t seen you for the past two days and I’m feeling unwell. I wanted to see you.”
Only then did Su Qian remember that she had been engrossed in researching ancient books for the past two days to find a way to deal with Su Yunxian and had not returned to her residence. Therefore, she said guiltily, “I’ve been too busy these past few days and neglected to take care of Your Highness. Please stretch out your hand and let me check your pulse.”
“Alright.” Xiao Yan smilingly stretched out his hand.
Su Qian earnestly examined Xiao Yan’s pulse. Feeling his pulse, she quickly fell silent. “Your Highness, the injury in your heart doesn’t seem to have improved…”
Dong Yan finally understood why His Highness had been giving him meaningful looks earlier.
It turned out that His Highness wanted to feign weakness and helplessness in front of Miss Su using Dong Yan as a mouthpiece.
It had to be said that His Highness was going all out for love. Despite not having seen Miss Su Qian for these past two days, he had endured the pain and hadn’t even taken a single dose of medicine!
Dong Yan couldn’t help but marvel at His Highness’s extreme lengths to win over the woman he loved. Taking toxicant, damaging his heart meridian. It really wasn’t a big deal for His Highness not to take medicine.
Su Qian didn’t know that Xiao Yan would be so suicidal. She was only worried now.
If the injury in his heart meridian did not heal, it would definitely affect his cultivation in the future.
Xiao Yan’s heart meridian injury was suffered to protect the two children. If the injury didn’t heal, they would be held responsible.
Xiao Yan clearly knew why his condition wasn’t improving, but he still had to put on an expression of helplessness and confusion, “Then, what do I need to do to recover?”
“The medicine I left behind for Your Highness before was supposed to aid in your recovery, but somehow it doesn’t seem to be effective now.” Su Qian looked at Xiao Yan and quickly comforted him, “But don’t worry, Your Highness. I’ll change the prescription. 1’11 send the medicine to Your Highness tomorrow.”
“You’re going back to concoct medicine?” Seeing Su Qian nod, Xiao Yan pondered for a moment before suddenly asking, “Do you think the lack of improvement in the medicine’s efficacy is related to my not resting well these past few days?”
“Of course it’s related. Your Highness, your heart meridian is damaged. You should be lying on the bed and resting obediently. Why are you wandering around?” Su Qian said as she looked at Xiao Yan’s legs.
It was rare that this man did not use a wheelchair today. It seemed that her detoxification for him had worked.
It was just that, she didn’t know if Xiao Yan’s poison would relapse this time.
“I have some matters to attend to. 1’11 definitely be busy until very late today.” Xiao Yan’s eyes turned around to hide the craftiness that flashed past his eyes. He beseeched on the surface, “Qian’er, can you stay in my residence today?”
Su Qian didn’t say anything. She only frowned in confusion and looked at Xiao Yan questioningly.
Xiao Yan said righteously, “I have very important matters to attend to, and I’m not feeling well. Why don’t you follow me back to the residence? Not only can you prescribe medicine for me tonight, but you can also observe my condition at all times to prevent me from overworking myself and affecting the recovery of my wound.”
Su Qian saw Xiao Yan’s deep gaze on her and finally nodded, “Your Highness, you make a valid point. Then, I will stay in the Ninth Prince’s Residence tonight..”
