The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 217 Qiuqin woke up

After Ye Jingchu had drained the horse's blood, he felt a surge of power coursing through his body like a raging tide.

The force was like a runaway horse, rampaging through every inch of his skin and every vein, causing his whole body to tremble slightly.

He had never experienced such a powerful feeling, as if he had become an omnipotent god, and that he could control everything in the world. This illusion gave his eyes a kind of almost manic confidence.

"Ye Jiuchen, tonight is your death day..." Ye Jingchu clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light like a hungry wolf.

Every word he uttered through his teeth was filled with endless resentment and murderous intent.

He could clearly feel that he now possessed the power to destroy the world, as if he could easily kill Ye Jiuchen as easily as crushing an ant by simply waving his hand.

"I'll go to the palace right now and report to Father Emperor. We'll confiscate Ye Jiuchen's property! Hahahaha..."

Ye Jingchu's arrogant laughter echoed wildly in the silent night sky, filled with madness, like the cry of a night owl, sending chills down one's spine.

The image of Ye Jiuchen lying in a pool of blood kept flashing through his mind, and a twisted sense of pleasure welled up inside him.

At this moment, he remembered that the woman in black had said that Ye Jiuchen was unconscious, and he was anxious to check the situation. He rushed towards the Regent's direction.

His figure moved swiftly through the darkness like a ghost, disappearing without a trace in no time.

"Ghost, ghost!" A servant trembled as he hid beside a haystack. He had only come here to relieve himself when he suddenly heard the horse's mournful cry.

The sound seemed to come from hell, making his heart race instantly.

When he cautiously peeked out, he witnessed a scene that terrified him—Ye Jingchu's ferocious face and bizarre behavior were etched into his eyes like a nightmare, making his legs go weak and almost causing him to collapse to the ground.

At the same time, Dongfang Wan'er, An Yi, and An Er hurriedly arrived at the Regent's Palace.

"Wan'er, you're back..." The divine physician Dan had been waiting anxiously at the palace for Dongfang Wan'er's return.

When he saw that familiar figure, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Here you go, Divine Physician Dan, this is a Tianshan Snow Lotus!" Dongfang Wan'er, panting, took a Tianshan Snow Lotus from her medicine box and handed it to Divine Physician Dan.

The Tian Shan snow lotus emitted a soft glow under the moonlight, each petal crystal clear, as if containing a mysterious power.

The divine physician Dan accepted the Tianshan snow lotus, his eyes filled with amazement.

"Tsk tsk tsk... I say, Wan'er, your snow lotus is far superior to the one I picked ten years ago..."

He examined it carefully, his eyes gleaming with excitement!

"Maybe I'm just lucky..." Dongfang Wan'er said with a smile, a hint of pride on her face.

"Your luck is extraordinary... I was looking at this Tian Shan snow lotus and an inspiration struck me. I'm going to treat Xiao Jiuzi's medicine now..."

Doctor Dan turned around impatiently and headed towards the pharmacy, his hurried steps showing his determination to save Ye Jiuchen.

"Hmm, I'll go check on Qiuqin..." Dongfang Wan'er said softly, then walked towards Qiuqin's room.

When she opened the door, she was surprised to find that Qiuqin had actually woken up.

"Qiuqin, you're awake..." Dongfang Wan'er quickly walked to the bedside, her eyes full of concern and joy.

"Miss..." Qiuqin's voice was very weak, and she looked very weak, her face as pale as paper, but her eyes revealed the joy of seeing Dongfang Wan'er.

"Don't get up, stay lying down..." Dongfang Wan'er saw Qiu Qin trying to get up and quickly stopped her.

She gently pressed Qiuqin back onto the bed, her eyes filled with heartache.

An Ye was also nearby. When he saw Qiu Qin wake up, he showed genuine joy on his face.

“Your Highness, Qiuqin just woke up and you’ve already come over…” An Ye said.

“Okay, let me take a look…” Dongfang Wan’er said, placing her hand on Qiuqin’s wrist and carefully taking her pulse.

She frowned slightly, focusing intently on sensing Qiuqin's pulse.

"Hmm, that's good... The pulse is stable, and the recovery is so fast. This spiritual spring water is truly amazing..."

Dongfang Wan'er secretly marveled at the miraculous effects of the spiritual spring water, and at the same time, she made up her mind to study the secrets of the spiritual spring water so that she could better help others in the future.

"Miss... I thought I was going to die... But seeing you safe and sound, even if I die, it's worth it!" Qiuqin said weakly, her eyes shining with determination.

"What nonsense are you spouting? I won't let you die. If you weren't still injured, I would have given you a good whack on the head to see what's inside..."

Dongfang Wan'er pretended to be angry, but her eyes were glistening with tears of emotion.

She knew that Qiuqin was as loyal to her as she had been in her previous life, and she cherished this affection immensely.

However, in this life, things are completely different from before; everything has undergone earth-shattering changes.

"Hehe, Miss is good at scaring people, Qiuqin isn't afraid at all..." Qiuqin saw through Dongfang Wan'er's pretense of anger at a glance, and her lips curled up slightly, revealing a weak smile.

"You silly girl, by the way, Qiuqin, when did you learn martial arts?" Dongfang Wan'er had always been curious about this question, and finally couldn't help but ask it.

"Your Highness, please don't blame Qiuqin, it was my instruction..."

An Ye knelt down on one knee, looking at Dongfang Wan'er with a nervous expression, and hurriedly explained for Qiu Qin. He was especially afraid that Dongfang Wan'er would punish Qiu Qin for this.

"Miss, this has nothing to do with Commander Dark Night. I insisted that Commander Dark Night teach me. If you want to blame someone, blame this servant!"

Qiuqin hadn't referred to herself as a servant in front of Dongfang Wan'er for a long time, but this time, in order to protect Anye, she said it without hesitation.

Her eyes held a resolute determination, as if she were willing to bear any punishment as long as she could protect the darkness.

"Pfft..." Dongfang Wan'er was amused by the two of them.

"Look at the two of you, anyone who didn't know better would think you were a couple..."

“Miss…” Qiuqin’s face turned red instantly, like a ripe apple. She lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Dongfang Wan’er.

“Your Highness…” An Ye also seemed a little embarrassed and scratched his head.

"Alright, I'm not blaming you," Dongfang Wan'er said with a smile. "But, An Ye, how come you know how to teach Qiu Qin martial arts?"

An Ye bowed her head and said, "Your Highness, Qiu Qin wants to protect you..."

Dongfang Wan'er felt another surge of emotion. This girl... she went to such lengths to protect her. Ah, so that's how it is.

Dongfang Wan'er nodded. "How is Qiuqin's learning going?"

"Qiuqin is very talented. She has mastered all the moves I taught her very well," An Ye said, his eyes revealing his admiration for Qiuqin.
