Cut off my tendons in my hands and feet to make me marry? Prepare to die!

Yue Ran walked into the room just as Ning Xin finished today's treatment and was inserting the acupuncture needles back into the needle bags one by one.

Yue Yuan's head was covered in cold sweat, and his clothes were almost soaked with sweat.

Although Ning Xin looks thin and small, she has great strength and steady force when giving acupuncture. She can insert 20 to 30 gold needles at a time without even taking a breath.

After breaking out in a cold sweat, he felt as if all the muscles and bones in his body were reawakened, and an indescribable feeling of relaxation and liveliness surged in his heart.

Sweat took away the dullness and fatigue in the body, replacing it with a vitality that had not been seen in many years. The originally weak and dry muscles and joints became more flexible and strong.

It’s a pity that his leg was broken, otherwise he felt that he could even get up and run around the palace after today’s treatment.

"Ranran, look, today father..." Yue Yuan's excited words came to an abrupt halt after seeing Yue Zihuan, and his expression turned a little ugly.

"Why are you here? Aren't you under house arrest?"

Yue Zihuan clenched his hands behind his back and forced a smile:

"Father, today marks the end of my one-month confinement."

Yue Yuan said "oh" faintly, seeming to feel a little regretful.

Yue Zihuan couldn't help but complain in his heart. It was ok that his father didn't remember how many days he had been under house arrest, but did he really want him to stay under house arrest in the yard forever?

He is his own son!

Yue Zihuan gritted his teeth secretly, still smiling as he approached Yue Yuan:

"Father, I have been worried about your health these days. After all, you are used to the same doctor before. Now you suddenly change to a new one. I am a little worried..."

Before Yue Yuan could speak, Ning Xin spoke coldly:

"If the eldest son is saying that the doctors who have been treating the prince for several years are getting worse and worse, then it would be better to change them!"

She had never been polite to anyone in her life, except after entering the palace where she had to abide by some rules, and she showed a more sincere smile to Yue Ran who brought back the smilax glabra.

She was lucky enough not to curse at someone like Yue Zihuan who started to make sarcastic comments about her medical skills as soon as they met.

Yue Zihuan's eyes suddenly turned cold when he heard this. How dare a mere female doctor speak to him like this?

"How dare you! Do you think you can yell at me just because you know a little bit of medical skills?"

He looked at Ning Xin with obvious disdain, as if the other person's existence was not worth even a second glance.

Yue Zihuan deliberately angered Ning Xin.

He was indeed angry at Ning Xin's disrespect to him, but if his humiliation caused Ning Xin to feel resentful towards the Dingbei Palace, and made her less dedicated in treating her father, that would also be a good thing.

Yue Yuan slammed the table with a gloomy face:

"You are the one who is presumptuous!"

"Doctor Ning is the Queen Mother's personal physician. Your elder sister asked the Queen Mother for grace and invited her back to the palace to treat your father. Even your father has to be courteous to Doctor Ning. When will it be your turn to speak so arrogantly?"

Yue Zihuan's face turned pale after being scolded. He lowered his head unwillingly and whispered:

"Father, please calm down. I am also worried and confused."

There were so many people present, but his father just kept scolding him without caring.

In the past, my father would never have done this.

It’s all because of Yue Ran’s meddling!

Yue Zihuan raised his eyes slightly and looked at Yue Ran who was standing beside him with a calm expression.

As soon as his eyes fell on Yue Ran, she immediately met his gaze and even smiled at him.

"Big brother, you are worried about me and you have to take care of our father. I think you are very filial, so I brought you in."

Yue Ran walked aside and asked Concubine Qin and Concubine Liu to push Yue Yuan into the inner room to wipe his sweat and change clothes.

She turned her face towards Yue Zihuan, raised her eyebrows slightly, and raised her voice in an interesting tone:

"I wonder if Big Brother is feeling more relieved now?"

Yue Yuan's eyes were now bright, his face was ruddy, his voice was loud and powerful, and the time he slapped the table just now, the table was shaking twice.

Even a blind man had to admit that Yue Yuan had recovered well.

Yue Zihuan remained silent with a hoarse voice, and after a moment he frowned and spoke:

"Father has been accustomed to letting Imperial Physician Sun and Imperial Physician Su treat his illnesses over the years. When Doctor Ning returns to the palace, it will be better for him to let those two imperial physicians take care of his health in the future."

Yue Ran raised her eyebrows slightly, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips:

"Oh? Those two doctors examined father's pulse for five years, but they couldn't even diagnose that father was poisoned. I think the two doctors that eldest brother admires are not that good."

Yue Zihuan's face suddenly changed when he heard this. A trace of panic flashed across his originally calm face, and his heart beat very fast.

As expected, Yue Ran discovered that his father had been poisoned.

His voice unconsciously rose a few notches, and there was a kind of bluffing toughness in his words:

"Don't talk nonsense! Those two imperial doctors were highly praised by the nobles in the palace. Yue Ran, do you know that your casual slander will damage their reputation?"

"Besides, who knows if Doctor Ning exaggerated the story of my father being poisoned?"

Yue Zihuan had an idea in his mind, because the palace pharmacy had been burned down long ago, and there was no evidence of poison at all.

Ning Xin raised her eyes slightly when she heard that, and her bright red lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of coldness.

She turned her palm upwards, and a little white powder in her palm was about to fly towards Yue Zihuan.

She never tolerates anyone who dares to talk nonsense about her medical skills!

Before Ning Xin could make a move, a teacup flew out from the side and hit Yue Zihuan on the forehead.

The scalding hot tea instantly burned Yue Zihuan's face like a piece of pig skin.

“Ah!! Who is it?” Yue Zihuan covered his face and jumped up, “Who dares to touch me? Don’t you want to live?”

Yue Ran stood still. This technique, this strength, and this tool must have belonged to their dear father, King Dingbei.

"It's you, my father!!!"

Yue Yuan was pushed out in a wheelchair by Concubine Liu, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Yue Zihuan, what on earth are you doing here today?"

His voice was not loud and his face looked very calm, but he gave people the feeling that a storm was about to come.

"You keep provoking Dr. Ning and doubting her medical skills. What have you learned in all these years? Don't you know the slightest bit of etiquette?"

"This is the fourth young master of the capital that your mother always mentions? Are you worthy of it?"

Yue Zihuan's mind went blank after being scolded, and he backed away repeatedly, covering the red part of his face.

It had been twenty-one years since his father had hit him, and it was also the first time that his father had scolded him so harshly.

Yue Zihuan was filled with inexplicable grief and indignation. He rushed forward and knelt in front of Yue Yuan, tears in his eyes:

"Father, what happened to you? You seem like a different person lately."

"This female doctor Yue Ran found is really suspicious. Imperial Doctor Su and Imperial Doctor Sun are both the most famous doctors in the Imperial Hospital. They never found any poison in your body. This female doctor Ning started to lie as soon as she came. Father, please wake up and don't disappoint your loved ones who really care about you!"

Yue Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at his eldest son, his heart almost chilled.

He said in a deep voice:

"You are right. It is indeed strange that the two imperial doctors never discovered that I was poisoned. So I decided to send the remaining medicine residue to the Imperial Hospital and find a few more imperial doctors to check if there is any problem with the medicine I took before."

Yue Zihuan's ears buzzed when he heard this.

The drug residue from the past? What does that mean?

Yue Yuan looked at Yue Zihuan in a daze, closed his eyes, and spoke tiredly:

"Your mother has been making medicine for me personally over the years. I have kept all the remaining medicine residues."
