Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 729 Are You Willing? (Third Update)

Ye Chutang raised her knife and brought it down.

The cloud of blood mist exploded with a "bang" and quickly went silent.

Xiao Wu quickly stepped forward and handed over a clean handkerchief.

Ye Chutang wiped her hands.

"Okay," she said.

An eerie silence fell over the room.

Princess Qinyang looked at Ye Chutang in disbelief, pointing to the bloodstain, "This, this..."

“The Bone-Softening Gu.” Prince Yannan spoke with certainty, his expression complex as he looked at Ye Chutang again. “Miss Ye’s medical skills are indeed superb.”

When the Gu worm was forced out, he suddenly felt much lighter.

The feeling of weakness and suffocation that had been pressing down on my chest disappeared almost instantly.

He knew better than anyone what this meant—Ye Chutang had completely solved the problem of the Gu poison in his body!

Upon hearing this, Princess Qinyang was overjoyed. "Really? Really?"

Doesn't that mean she no longer needs to worry about her father's health?

Ye Chutang smiled lightly, "To be honest, it's because Tuoba Yu is wary of you and doesn't dare to really kill you, so he only planted this easy little thing. If it were a more powerful one, I would be helpless."

Princess Qinyang was overjoyed and rushed forward to grab Ye Chutang's hand, "That's wonderful! Chutang! Thank you! Thank you!"

She didn't dare to have any hope at first, but she thought that if even Ye Chutang couldn't help in this huge capital city, then she didn't know who else to ask for help.

As it turned out, Ye Chutang actually succeeded!

This finally resolved the biggest hidden worry in her mind!
Ye Chutang was dizzy from being dazzled by her, but seeing how happy she was, a smile also appeared on her lips.

"There's still medicine."

Ye Chutang raised her chin and spoke up to remind her.
"Ayan, take that bottle of wound medicine to Prince Yannan."

Ye Jingyan did as instructed and took out a small white porcelain bottle from the drawer next to her.

Ye Chutang explained, "I had no choice but to use this method, as it was the fastest. Please forgive me. As for the incision, apply this medicine daily, and it will be fully healed in three days."

The Prince of Yannan naturally wouldn't care; this injury was nothing to him.

He appreciated Ye Chutang's kindness.

"In that case, I'll accept it."

Then, the Prince of Yannan applied medicine to himself and bandaged himself with a strip of cloth that had been prepared beforehand.

The wound had stopped bleeding, and apart from the strip of cloth wrapped around the palm being somewhat conspicuous, there was no other visible problem.

The King of Yannan examined his palm, his mind racing with thoughts.

He couldn't help but look at Ye Chutang again, only to see that she had already tidied up the things on the table.

In a short while, Ye Chutang moved with effortless grace, and even her younger siblings cooperated perfectly, as if they had rehearsed countless times.

Ye Chutang glanced up unintentionally and saw his expression. She vaguely guessed what he was thinking and smiled, "When we used to run a clinic, they would help out. It's a habit."

The Prince of Yannan snapped out of his reverie and slowly nodded.

It was only then that he realized he still didn't understand Ye Chutang well enough.

She seemed to be hiding too many secrets, like a book that could never be finished.

No wonder the students she mentored each had their own strengths.

With such a person standing there like a beacon, one will never lose direction. "Miss Ye has repeatedly come to our rescue; we truly do not know how to thank her enough."

Now I owe her a huge favor.

Ye Chutang tilted her head and smiled, her tone light and composed.

“It was just a small favor, nothing to mention. You hold a high position and great power, and the Southwest cannot do without you. Besides, Princess Qinyang is a close friend of mine, so doing these things is nothing special.”

Princess Qinyang stood to the side, both happy and proud; if she had a tail, it would probably be wagging its tail to the sky by now.

"That's right! The friends I choose are naturally the best in the world! Father, you've really benefited from my influence this time!"

As she spoke, she looked excitedly at Ye Chutang.

"Chu Tang, you're amazing! I saw how swiftly you moved just now, without the slightest hesitation, and you killed that Gu worm in one go! That's incredible... I think even if it were a more potent Gu poison, you could still handle it!"

“That’s not necessarily true.” Ye Chutang raised an eyebrow. “Tuoba Yu only learned a little bit and his skills are not refined, so I was able to handle him. If it were Shui Xingqiu… even I wouldn’t be so confident.”

Upon hearing this name, Princess Qinyang quickly calmed down, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.

"Speaking of this person... he is indeed a troublesome one."

She and Ye Chutang locked eyes, and she said earnestly, "He will also be coming to the capital this time, supposedly for Tuoba Yu, but... Chutang, do you think he has anything to do with Fan Chengzhuo being poisoned by Gu?"

Ye Chutang reacted for a moment and subconsciously looked at the Prince of Yannan.

She had only mentioned to Xun Cheng that Shui Xingqiu would be coming, but judging from Princess Qinyang's confident tone, it seemed that she already had definite news.

As expected, the King of Yannan nodded.

"Tomorrow, the people of Nanhu will arrive in the capital, and Shui Xingqiu will be among them."

He naturally had ways to find out these things.

After all, on the surface, the Battle of Longcheng was commanded by the Prince of Yannan.

Then he would naturally also be responsible for the subsequent dialogue with Nanhu, especially on how to deal with Tuoba Yu.

Ye Chutang pondered for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't know either. His Majesty personally interrogated Fan Chengzhuo today, but he didn't say a word."

"Stubborn!"

Princess Qinyang snorted angrily.

"They poisoned him with Gu, clearly intending to control him like a puppet! What kind of person would use such despicable means to treat their subordinate?! And yet Fan Chengzhuo is so stubborn! Even after all this, he's still loyal to the person behind him! I really can't understand it!"

Wasn't Zheng Baosu said to be Fan Chengzhuo's only son?

Didn't they say that Fan Chengzhuo risked his life to enter the palace to see him in order to save him?

These are all facts!

But why is Fan Chengzhuo so stubborn on the most crucial issue?

"Does he really think that the person he serves is more important than himself, or even his son?!"

Even death would be better than this, right?

The King of Yannan fell into deep thought.

“I’ve dealt with Fan Chengzhuo before, and he doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would do something like this. But if he were truly so loyal, why would the person behind him go to all this trouble?”

The Gu poison can control life and death, but Fan Chengzhuo has clearly risked his own life. So the existence of this Gu poison... doesn't it seem ridiculous?

Ye Chutang lowered her eyelids slightly, picked up the tea that had just cooled down and took a sip before smiling thoughtfully.

"Perhaps... even his master didn't expect him to be so loyal? I wonder if his master would be willing to take action now that he knows what happened today?"
