CHAPTER 606: CHAPTER 196: LEAVING A LINGERING ILLNESS

Xie Ruotong was brought back to Prince Chen’s Mansion by Ye Qichi.

When they returned to Prince Chen’s Mansion, it was almost dawn.

Ye Qichi dared not delay, and immediately performed emergency surgery on Xie Ruotong after bringing her back.

Xie Ruotong did not utter a single groan throughout the process.

Of course.

Ye Qichi had also administered some anesthesia to her.

It alleviated some of the pain, but ultimately, with such serious injuries and the massive bleeding from the miscarriage, it was certainly painful.

It hurt, but she neither cried nor fussed.

One can imagine how desperate she had become towards this world.

Xie Ruotong eventually passed out.

Her body finally couldn’t hold on anymore, and she fainted while Ye Qichi was performing the surgery on her.

Ye Qichi completed all the surgeries and dressed all the wounds for Xie Ruotong, taking a full four hours.

That is to say, from dawn until it turned dark again.

Finally, she was pulled back from the brink of death by Ye Qichi.

Ye Qichi also, exhausted, lay down beside Xie Ruotong’s bed and fell asleep.

Naturally, Lu You had been by her side the whole time, acting as a little helper, and now also collapsed and fell asleep beside her.

Inside the room.

Xiao Jinxing walked in.

Little Wu had been following Ye Qichi since last night.

Guarding at the door all the time.

Drowsy and about to fall asleep, he sensed someone approaching.

Upon opening his eyes, the first person he saw was the Prince.

He was about to salute.

The Prince gave him a look.

He immediately understood and kept quiet, not waking up anyone inside.

He just quietly followed the Prince into the room.

On the bed.

Xie Ruotong, with a pale face, was sleeping, and from her weak breathing, one could completely see the extent of the injuries she had suffered.

In fact, from the moment he carried Xie Ruotong from the Song Residence back to Prince Chen’s Mansion.

He had been wondering.

Whether Xie Ruotong would be more likely to meet with misfortune.

It felt like there was no hope for her.

But the Princess managed the treatment for Xie Ruotong methodically, confidently, and steadily; although it took a long time, she indeed saved Xie Ruotong’s life.

The Princess’s medical skills earned his deep admiration.

Of course, his admiration was far from limited to that.

There was also the Princess’s sense of justice and great magnanimity, the benevolence of a healer.

The Princess’s appreciation for life.

Was far greater than that of other people of high status.

It was not only about who.

In her eyes, every life seemed to be equally important.

Without so many distinctions of class or status.

That was also the case at this moment.

To save Xie Ruotong, she herself collapsed and fell asleep by the bed; the sight of her exhaustion moved people’s hearts.

Unknown if the Prince would be moved.

Little Wu couldn’t help but sneak a glance at the Prince.

Watching the Prince’s gaze lightly resting on the Princess’s face.

Still unable to discern any emotional fluctuations from the Prince.

Yet at this moment, Little Wu felt that the Prince’s feelings for the Princess must have changed a lot at some point.

The Prince of the past.

Wouldn’t have watched the Princess sleep with such kindness.

From what he knew about the Prince.

If the Prince came to see the Princess now, it must be for something important.

Yet seeing the Princess so tired, the Prince chose to remain silent.

When.

Did the Prince have such patience?!

Little Wu’s mind was clear as a mirror, speculating all the while.

Xiao Jinxing stood there for quite a while.

Suddenly, he bent down.

In that bending moment.

Little Wu thought, the Prince’s patience must have been exhausted.

So he was going to wake the Princess.

However, the next moment, his eyes widened in shock.

The Prince actually leaned over and picked up the Princess.

The Princess shifted her body a bit.

Unsure whether it was discomfort or the awareness of something unusual beside her, she resisted slightly.

Resisting faintly.

Little Wu thought the Prince might become angry.

But he saw that the Prince was just somewhat anxious about the Princess’s response.

Fortunately, the Princess just moved a bit in the Prince’s arms and did not open her eyes.

She even found a comfortable position and leaned against the Prince, falling into a deep sleep again.

It wasn’t an illusion, right?

Definitely not an illusion.

Little Wu actually saw the Prince at this moment, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

As if with a trace of doting affection.

That’s it.

The Prince is finally going to fall for the Princess.

For some reason.

Little Wu always felt that the Princess’s regard for the Prince seemed... rather average.

He was genuinely worried that the Prince might be unrequited in his feelings.

Xiao Jinxing carried Ye Qichi back to her own room.

Ye Qichi was really too tired.

She felt someone approaching, and she felt as if she was being carried.

Familiar warmth, carrying a subtle comfort.

Mysteriously making her feel, somewhat dependent.
