Chapter 179: Volume 1, Chapter 179: If She Screams Too Miserably, They'll Think I'm Slaughtering a Pig

Yun Qiyue took the carriage sent by the Xihai envoy directly into the Post House where the Xihai envoy was staying.

It was Qin Ye who came out to receive her.

However, the look in Qin Ye's eyes when he looked at Yun Qiyue carried a bit of sinister malice, disgust, and cold anger.

Yun Qiyue didn't care.

The only strange thing was that back at the Hundred Flowers Festival palace banquet, Qin Ye had once asked to marry her.

Logically speaking, even if her talent had stunned everyone back then, it shouldn't have been enough to make someone who hated her want to marry her; wasn't that just looking for trouble for himself?

Yun Qiyue was suspicious in her heart, but she showed nothing on the surface.

And Qin Ye, at this moment, really wanted to crush Yun Qiyue to death.

But, in the end, he held back.

Seeing Yun Qiyue, he didn't make a gesture of welcome but turned and walked away.

Yun Qiyue had no fluctuations on her face; if Qin Ye left, weren't there still servants to lead the way?

If even the servants didn't lead the way, she would just walk; in any case, she wasn't the one in a hurry.

As for debating what constitutes hospitality, Yun Qiyue felt it was unnecessary.

A momentary verbal victory wouldn't achieve any major effect; since that was the case, she might as well get straight to the point.

Soon, Yun Qiyue was led to the residence of the Princess, Qin Dairou.

Qin Ye was already waiting at the door, but for some reason, the look in Qin Ye's eyes when he looked at Yun Qiyue was much calmer than before.

Yun Qiyue was surprised, thinking, could it be that Qin Dairou's status in Xihai was so extraordinary that it caused such a big change in this Xihai Sixth Prince?

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Yun Qiyue walked straight into the room, and Qin Ye followed behind.

At this time, Yun Qiyue discovered that there was another person in Qin Dairou's room.

That person was dressed in black guard attire, and the aura on his body was very cold, yet different from the coldness of the Regent, Ouyang Xi, or Yun Xiang.

The coldness on the Regent was like a god high above, looking down on the world.

The coldness on Ouyang Xi was a kind of indifference, and beneath that indifference, there must be hidden immense pain.

Yun Xiang's coldness was the cold-bloodedness of a killer trained from a young age.

And the coldness on the person in front of her carried a certain ambition, making people feel that this person was ruthless and even cruel.

But, for such a person to be standing in front of Qin Dairou's bed, Yun Qiyue thought of a possibility.

This person was likely a male favorite by Qin Dairou's side, while also concurrently holding the task of protecting Qin Dairou.

Only this explanation made sense.

Therefore, this person was very likely the one who had hurt Yun Xiang.

Although Yun Xiang hadn't said anything, with Yun Xiang's abilities, ordinary people shouldn't have been able to hurt him easily.

Thinking of this, the look in Yun Qiyue's eyes when looking at that person carried a bit of chill.

Not looking at her again, Yun Qiyue shifted her gaze directly to Qin Dairou on the bed.

And because of this, Yun Qiyue didn't see the trace of interest that flashed in the black-clad man's eyes, nor the trace of displeasure or unwillingness in the depths of Qin Ye's eyes.

Qin Dairou was very weak at this time, but she still forced her eyes open, a pair of eyes looking coldly at Yun Qiyue.

Obviously, she was still brooding over the conditions Yun Qiyue had made her pay.

But, so what?

Wanting to kill her but being unable to, hating her but being unable to do anything to her—the one suffering was the other party, not herself.

Thus, Yun Qiyue directly ignored Qin Dairou's expression and very casually reached out to touch Qin Dairou's wrist, the speed so fast that it even made Qin Dairou think Yun Qiyue was just going through the motions.

However, Qin Dairou had heard of Yun Qiyue's speed in taking pulses, so even if she suspected in her heart that Yun Qiyue was just going through the motions, she didn't say it out loud.

"Can be cured."

Just two words.

Qin Dairou's injury was mainly in her stomach.

Her stomach had been pierced by a sword; the external wound was fine, but the internal injury was difficult to handle.

That Qin Dairou still had breath in her now must be because the Xihai Kingdom had some powerful medicine helping her drag it out.

One could only say that Xihai was indeed worthy of being the number one powerful nation.

Although Qin Dairou held hope for Yun Qiyue, when Yun Qiyue said she could cure her, she was still stunned.

"Really can?" There was light in Qin Dairou's eyes.

"If the Princess doesn't believe it, you are welcome to seek a better doctor."

At this time, how would Qin Dairou dare not believe?

She didn't even dare to have the displeasure she had toward Yun Qiyue before.

She still wanted to live; she didn't want to die at all.

Therefore, as soon as she heard Yun Qiyue say that, Qin Dairou immediately said: "I don't disbelieve; hurry and treat me."

Yun Qiyue lowered her eyes slightly, "I don't like having people present when I treat illnesses."

It was very obvious that Yun Qiyue was driving people away.

Qin Ye frowned and was about to speak, but was stopped by a look from the man in black.

That look contained coldness, warning, and even a trace of killing intent.

Qin Ye shivered directly, not daring to say more, and withdrew.

The man in black glanced at Yun Qiyue, then glanced at Qin Dairou, walked out, and even closed the door.

Once only Qin Dairou was left in the room, Yun Qiyue looked at Qin Dairou, the lips beneath her veil curling slightly, "Do you really want me to treat you?"

Qin Dairou looked at Yun Qiyue and frowned, "Why, did you take my things and want to go back on your word?"

Yun Qiyue: "No, since I've come, I won't go back on my word; I'm just afraid you, Princess, will go back on yours."

Upon hearing this, Qin Dairou's heart tightened, and she asked subconsciously, "What do you want to do?"

Qin Dairou was in a state of high alert, even thinking that if Yun Qiyue dared to act recklessly, she would call for people.

After all, being injured and lying on the bed, Qin Dairou felt very insecure.

Looking at Qin Dairou's panicked appearance, Yun Qiyue sneered in her heart.

Being so cowardly, she must have committed many evil deeds.

"Me? Naturally, I'm treating your illness, but it will be very painful, and it's uncertain whether there will be any sequelae; are you sure you want to be treated?"

After speaking, Yun Qiyue sincerely suggested, "I think choosing to die is easier."

Qin Dairou: "... Even if you die, I won't die; hurry and treat me."

She felt that before Yun Qiyue cured her, she would be angered to death first.

She had never seen a doctor who directly told the patient to choose death; Yun Qiyue was the first.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue sighed, "I told you to die and you wouldn't; once I start the treatment later, you won't be able to choose death even if you want to."

Saying this, Yun Qiyue thought for a moment before saying: "How about this, I'll give you some medicine first, otherwise, if you scream too miserably later, they'll think I'm slaughtering a pig."

"You..." Qin Dairou felt she couldn't catch her breath.

Damn Yun Qiyue, how dare she say she was a pig?

However, before a sentence could leave her mouth, a pill fell into her mouth and melted upon contact.

Qin Dairou: "You—mm—"

She had lost her voice.

Yun Qiyue, how dare she give her medicine to make her mute?

"Rest assured, you just can't speak for an hour; it'll be quick." Yun Qiyue pacified her.

But, for some reason, facing Yun Qiyue's calm eyes, the fear and unease in Qin Dairou's heart grew deeper and deeper, simply pouring out like a flood.

Qin Dairou wanted to get up.

However, the next moment, she felt a numbness in her waist, and then her body couldn't move.

Qin Dairou: "..."

What exactly did Yun Qiyue want to do? ===== CHAPTER 180 =====
