Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 143 Poison Hair
Yuemei cooked the medicine. She drank her own first, then poured water to boil the medicine for Deng Qiqi.

Deng Qiqi was sitting in the study painting, with an incense burner emitting smoke on the table.

"My dear cousin, it's time for you to take your medicine."

Yuemei pushed the door open with a smile on her face, but her smile froze instantly when she saw the lit incense.

"Cousin, why did you light the incense yourself?"

Deng Qiqi glanced at the incense burner casually.

"Oh, I think this fragrance is very pleasant and makes people happy."

Yuemei opened her mouth slightly, but didn't know how to start. After a while, she spoke while guessing Deng Qiqi's expression.

"My dear cousin, don't you feel uncomfortable smelling this incense too much? I...I mean, why is the young lady so kind to you? She even gave you this expensive calming incense. Is she trying to harm you? After all, your relationship with the young lady wasn't very good in the beginning."

Deng Qiqi raised his eyebrows proudly, "I have nothing left, why would Ji Yunchu hurt me? What does she want from me? I helped her, so it's only natural that she treats me well."

He put down the pen in his hand and walked towards Yuemei, put the medicine in Yuemei's hand on the table, and pulled Yuemei into his arms.

"My dear, you think too much."

Yuemei was speechless. Seeing that Deng Qiqi seemed to trust Ji Yunchu very much, she had to put her hope in the medicine.

"Cousin, take your medicine."

"No, this medicine smells very bitter." Deng Qiqi dodged in disgust, "Take it and throw it away. My wound has healed a long time ago, so I don't need to drink the medicine."

Yuemei held the medicine in her hands and burst into tears, "Cousin, please drink a few sips. It's better than nothing."

Seeing that the beauty was sad, Deng Qiqi grabbed the bowl and took a big sip.

"Okay? Stop crying."

Yuemei burst into laughter. She glanced at the incense burner, took the bowl out, then went back to the house and buried all the incense that Ji Yunchu had given her.

If she had known that the incense was poisonous, she would never have let Deng Qiqi smell it.

The incense in Deng Qiqi's room was soon used up. Two days later, Deng Qiqi felt itchy and stinging all over his body. He couldn't help but put his hands on it and scratched it everywhere, breaking the scabbed wounds.

"Cousin, stop scratching. You're bleeding." Yuemei grabbed Deng Qiqi's hands with concern.

"No! I feel uncomfortable, ah, it's so itchy."

Deng Qiqi angrily pushed Yuemei away and scratched himself hard.

Yuemei accidentally hit her forehead. She ran to the pharmacy crying. After turning around and not seeing Yayan, she anxiously called the waiter who was preparing the medicine.

"Waiter, where is the doctor who was sitting here to see the patient last time?"

The waiter weighed the silver in his pocket calmly.

"He quit and has returned to his hometown."

Yuemei was at a loss and used her own savings to hire a doctor to treat Deng Qiqi.

The doctor saw Deng Qiqi's crazy look and shook his head, "There's no hope. He's crazy. Miss, please find someone else."

"Doctor, please prescribe some medicine to make him feel less itchy."

"I'll give it a try. I'll give it a try. It depends on him whether he can hold on."

Yuemei took the prescription and quickly went to get the medicine and boiled it for Deng Qiqi to drink.

"Cousin, drink this medicine and you will be fine."

Deng Qiqi couldn't stand the itchiness, and when he heard that it could be cured, he immediately took the medicine and drank it without caring about the heat.

He just felt a hot current rolling down his stomach, and after a while, his body continued to itch.

It is even more difficult to fall asleep at night. My whole body feels like it is bitten by insects, and it is itchy and painful.

"Yuemei, Yuemei! I have a headache and can't sleep."

Deng Qiqi scratched his chest suddenly, and felt that he could not stop the itch, so he raised his hand and patted his chest hard.

"Yuemei, those medicines are useless. Light some calming incense. Hurry up and light the calming incense that the eldest lady gave me!" "Cousin..." Yuemei stared at the bloodstain on the corner of Deng Qiqi's mouth with tears streaming down her face. She didn't want to see Deng Qiqi being tortured by the poison anymore, so she ran out and dug out the buried incense.

She went back to the house with the incense in her hands covered in mud, and with trembling hands she put the incense into the burner and lit it.

Deng Qiqi lay on the bed and took a deep breath, "Yes, this is the taste."

My mood suddenly relaxed and I fell into a deep sleep in a moment.

Yuemei cried even harder when she saw this. She took the remaining incense and hid it in her room.

Deng Qiqi slept for a day and a night. When he woke up, he didn't smell any fragrance, so he couldn't help but roar.

"Yuemei, where's my incense? Where did it go? Light it for me!"

"My dear cousin, you haven't eaten for a whole day and night. Get up and eat first."

Yuemei took the coat with a gentle expression and pretended to put it on Deng Qiqi.

Deng Qiqi waved his coat away angrily, "Where did those incense sticks go? Take them out and light them up!"

"My dear cousin, the incense is all used up. Can you wash up and eat something first?"

"I feel uncomfortable all over now, what can I eat? Go back to the Duke's Mansion and ask for some calming incense. Hurry! I want it now!"

Yuemei advised helplessly, "My dear cousin, that tranquilizing incense is poisonous. It's really not good to smell it too much."

"Nonsense! I clearly smell very comfortable, can't you bear to see me feel comfortable?"

Deng Qiqi grabbed Yuemei angrily, "Are you blaming me for not bringing your indenture contract over? That's why you hate me."

"No, cousin, don't you know how I feel about you?" Yuemei's eyes were full of tears.

"Since you have me in your heart, then go to the Duke's Mansion to get the calming incense! Go now!"

Yuemei choked up and nodded. She wanted to take another look at Deng Qiqi, but Deng Qiqi misunderstood that she was deliberately delaying.

Deng Qiqi immediately started beating Yuemei, and found that this made him very comfortable, so he hit her harder and harder.

The screams echoed throughout the courtyard. Some servants who were familiar with Yuemei could not bear to watch and rescued her.

The maid, who had been envious of Yuemei, saw Yuemei's current miserable condition and secretly thanked her luck that she did not get entangled with her cousin.

"Yuemei, since your cousin wants the tranquilizing incense, you should agree to go back to the Duke's Mansion to get it. Why bother going against your cousin and getting beaten up by him for nothing?"

Yuemei raised her wrist to wipe the blood from her nose, then she staggered back to the Duke's Mansion.

"Miss, please save my cousin."

Ji Yunchu looked coldly at Yuemei's bruised face.

"Who made you accidentally sleep with him? It was you who insisted on being with him in the first place, and now you regret it?"

"I have no regrets, my cousin is just…"

Yuemei swallowed the blood in her mouth and changed her words, "My cousin is just ill temporarily. Please save him, young lady. I am willing to go through fire and water for you."

Ji Yunchu thought Yuemei didn't know that Deng Qiqi was poisoned, so she took out the familiar fragrance from the small box on the dressing table.

"Take this calming incense back and let Deng Qiqi smell it. He will be well soon."

Yuemei stared at Anshenxiang blankly, tears streaming down her eyes.

"Miss, my cousin is getting more and more irritable after smelling this fragrance. He can't smell it anymore."

Ji Yunchu sneered disapprovingly, "He just needs to smell this fragrance to be quiet and obedient. Yuemei, look at yourself now, do you want to be with Deng Qiqi for the rest of your life?"

Yuemei kowtowed respectfully, "Miss, please let my cousin go. If you have any complaints, please come to me."

Ji Yunchu turned around indifferently and adjusted the hairpin on her head while facing the bronze mirror.

"Either you take the calming incense back or watch him suffer. It's your choice."
