The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 175 Ye Jiuchen has regained consciousness!

"Alright, begin!" Dongfang Wan'er took a deep breath, took out a silver needle, and looked focused and determined. She precisely inserted the silver needle into Ye Jiuchen's acupoints, her movements skilled and swift.

"Dark Night!" With a shout from Dongfang Wan'er, Dark Night immediately poured his inner energy into her body.

"Very good, continue, Chu Lian, get ready!" Dongfang Wan'er called out. Chu Lian also dropped his nonchalant attitude and became serious, waiting intently for the next instruction.

As soon as the silver needle in Dongfang Wan'er's hand pierced the acupoint, Chu Lian quickly began to channel his internal energy.

The group moved faster and faster, their coordination becoming increasingly seamless. Although the process seemed simple, it was actually very physically and mentally taxing.

"Xiao Jiu's pulse is gradually stabilizing!" Doctor Dan said excitedly, which undoubtedly brought everyone a glimmer of hope and confidence.

Time passed second by second, the night gradually faded, and the sky began to glow with the gray light of dawn.

After a whole night of hard work, Dongfang Wan'er, Anye, and Chu Lian were all exhausted and almost couldn't hold on any longer.

Especially Dongfang Wan'er, whose face was as pale as paper, clearly had exhausted a great deal of physical and mental energy.

"Dongfang Wan'er, your condition is not good, stop the acupuncture!" Chu Lian shouted anxiously upon seeing Dongfang Wan'er's condition.

However, Dongfang Wan'er did not stop what she was doing. She gritted her teeth and persevered to finish the last injection!

Chu Lian was startled to see Dongfang Wan'er swaying as if she were about to collapse. This was the first time in his life he had encountered such a resilient woman, and her indomitable will deeply moved him.

In his previous understanding, women were mostly gentle and demure, and would back down when faced with difficulties.

However, the Dongfang Wan'er before him displayed extraordinary perseverance and determination, giving him a completely new understanding of women.

"Enough talk, Chu Lian! We're almost there..."

Dongfang Wan'er gritted her teeth, struggling to support herself, her eyes resolute and determined. She had completed the task with all her might, but at this moment, she exhausted all her strength and collapsed to the ground.

Chu Lian reacted quickly, extending his arms to catch the unconscious Dongfang Wan'er.

He held her tightly, feeling her faint breath, a complex emotion welling up inside him. This seemingly fragile woman possessed such a powerful inner strength, which moved him deeply.

"Miss!" Qiuqin called out anxiously.

"Your Highness," An Ye said nervously, looking at her.

"Girl!" Doctor Dan exclaimed anxiously!

The two rushed to Dongfang Wan'er's side to check on her. Meanwhile, the Divine Physician Dan was busy removing silver needles from Ye Jiuchen and couldn't leave!

"Dark Night, quick, put some water on the girl's lips!" Doctor Dan said anxiously.

An Ye quickly did as instructed, took a glass of water, and carefully dripped the water onto Dongfang Wan'er's lips.

Chu Lian held Dongfang Wan'er tightly, unwilling to let go.

At this moment, everyone was immersed in tension and worry, and no one realized that Chu Lian was holding Dongfang Wan'er.

After finally removing all the silver needles from Ye Jiuchen, the divine physician Dan quickly went to Dongfang Wan'er's side and began to treat her.

"It's alright, nothing serious, just too tired. The girl must have been overworked these past few days. When Xiao Jiu wakes up, I'll give him a good talking to!" Doctor Dan said, shaking his head gently.

"It's good that Miss is alright..." Qiuqin was finally relieved!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt that something was wrong.

"Hey, put my young lady down right now! Men and women should keep to themselves!"

Qiuqin finally realized what was happening and shouted loudly.

Dark Night also noticed the anomaly.

"Oh dear, you Chu boy are actually holding our girl! Let go of her right now!"

The divine physician Dan also realized what was happening and said urgently.

Chu Lian was speechless, thinking to himself: I've been holding him for so long!

"I say, you guys are too slow to react. What's with the difference between men and women? When it comes to matters of life and death, what's the difference between men and women? If I hadn't been quick-witted and agile, your young lady, your princess, and your maid would have been bleeding from their heads long ago! Really!" Chu Lian retorted angrily.

Chu Lian's sharp questioning left everyone speechless, unsure how to respond.

He continued, "Girl, come here, can you hold your young lady tight? And that guy named Dark Night, do you dare to hold your princess? And that divine doctor, you come and try too!"

Silence fell upon everyone once again.

Seeing that no one answered, Chu Lian impatiently shouted, "What are you daydreaming about? Lead the way! Do you expect me to carry her the whole time?"

"Ah, okay, please follow me." An Ye and Qiu Qin hurriedly led the way.

Upon entering the room, Chu Lian gently placed Dongfang Wan'er on the bed, but he was reluctant to let go. He could still feel the warmth of Dongfang Wan'er on his hands, and her fragrance seemed to linger on his body.

This feeling stirred a strange emotion within him.

Just as Chu Lian was about to say he was leaving, suddenly there was a loud bang, and he fainted without warning.

"Oh dear, why did this person faint!" Qiu Qin said casually as she looked at Chu Lian on the ground, then continued to stay by Dongfang Wan'er's side, showing no intention of helping him up.

"It must be the side effects of the medicine from Doctor Dan!" An Ye suddenly remembered that they had been so worried about Dongfang Wan'er's fainting that they had let Chu Lian take advantage of the princess!

With so many people in the manor, any strong maid could easily lift the princess! An Ye was filled with remorse and regret.

"Qiuqin, um, it's fine for just a few of us to know about the Crown Prince of Chu embracing the Princess, but we absolutely mustn't let it reach the master's ears!" An Ye reminded Qiuqin, fearing that this matter would cause unnecessary trouble.

"Okay, don't worry, I definitely won't say anything!" Qiuqin nodded, promising not to leak the matter.

"I'll go check on Master!" An Ye looked at Chu Lian on the ground, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes!

"You, come here and take him back!" Dark Night commanded the servants around him with a cold look in his eyes, his tone carrying an unquestionable authority.

The servants immediately stepped forward, carefully lifted the unconscious Chu Lian, and then quickly left the place.

"Yes!" the servants replied in unison, their voices clear and firm.

Soon, Chu Lian was taken away. An Ye watched their departing figures, thinking to himself: Hopefully, this person won't cause trouble for my master.

Then, An Ye entered Ye Jiu Chen's room and asked, "Dr. Dan, when will Master wake up?" Her voice revealed a hint of worry and urgency.

"Soon, she should wake up soon," Doctor Dan replied with a smile, a hint of relief in his eyes.

Dark Night nodded slightly.

Then, the divine physician Dan remembered something and asked, "By the way, is that person from Chu unconscious?"

"Yes, I'm going to sleep," Dark Night replied simply.

The divine physician Dan nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly asked curiously, "Divine Physician Dan, what kind of medicine is that? Its effects are so powerful. If we could use it, we could definitely defeat many enemies."

Dark Night looked at Doctor Dan with hopeful eyes, his gaze filled with longing.

The divine physician Dan gently twitched his beard: "Don't even think about this medicine, and don't tell anyone. This stuff has serious side effects. Would I be reluctant to give you such a good thing to use?"

After hearing this, Dark Night sighed in disappointment…

"It's just taking a nap! What kind of side effect is that?" Dark Night said doubtfully, not understanding the situation.

The divine physician shook his head and explained, "It's not as simple as just taking a nap. Anyone who takes this medicine will have their internal energy stagnate for life. Fortunately, that kid from Chu is quite strong, otherwise I wouldn't have given him this pill so easily. Moreover, he will fall into a deep sleep at that exact time every day, and this state will last for a whole month. And he can only take the medicine once; taking it again will be life-threatening!"

The divine physician Dan deliberately exaggerated to prevent An Ye from becoming obsessed with the pill. In reality, there was only one such pill, and he himself wouldn't have used it if it weren't to save Xiao Jiu Zi.

"Oh, I see. Then forget it!" Hearing this, Dark Night gave up the idea.

Just as the two were chatting, Ye Jiuchen slowly woke up...
