The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

“Commander An, it was the Prince who told me to leave and not to serve him. I actually just went to brew tea for the Prince…” Jing Deming looked at Ye Jiuchen’s expression and felt truly annoyed…

"Steward Jing, no need for further words! Quickly go and invite the Divine Physician Dan here, An Yi..." An Ye shouted loudly towards the door.

"Your subordinate is here!" An Yi knelt on one knee and answered. When he looked up and saw that the prince had already fainted, his expression instantly turned serious, and without saying a word, he rushed out like an arrow.

Without a doubt, he was going to fetch the divine physician Dan to come and save the emperor.

"Steward Jing, please take good care of the Prince. I'll be right back!" After giving his instructions to Jing Deming, An Ye hurried off towards the Marquis's residence.

An Ye himself couldn't explain why he had this feeling, but deep down he firmly believed that Dongfang Wan'er would definitely have a way to save the prince...

Without hesitation, An Ye leaped into Dongfang Wan'er's Tingyu Courtyard. However, just as he was about to open the window, countless sharp arrows rained down upon him.

As nimble as a swallow in the darkness, he nimbly dodged the hidden weapons attacking from all directions. After a short wait, the weapons finally stopped.

Seizing the opportunity in the darkness, he quickly climbed through the window. But just then, a pungent plume of white smoke suddenly drifted in.

"Not good!" Dark Night knew something was wrong, but before he could react, his body involuntarily collapsed to the ground...

After a long while, An Ye slowly woke up. He struggled for a moment, but found that he couldn't move at all. It turned out that he had been firmly tied to the chair with a rope.

He looked up and immediately saw a woman standing before him. "Dongfang Wan'er?" An Ye was startled; he sensed that Dongfang Wan'er seemed somewhat different from when he had seen her during the day…

At this moment, Dongfang Wan'er's skin was as white as snow, and her features were exquisitely beautiful.

"Miss, should we just kill this person...?" Just then, Qiuqin walked in, holding a gleaming kitchen knife in her hand! Yes, the kind of kitchen knife used for cutting vegetables!

"Ahem, Qiuqin, no need, I know this person..." Dongfang Wan'er coughed lightly and explained.

Actually, she had already woken up when An Ye opened the window. She had meticulously arranged various traps and mechanisms in the room…

The earlier hidden weapons were merely used to confuse the enemy; the real weapon that worked was the sleeping potion released at the end…

"Commander An, you and your master are really in sync, both of you like to break into women's boudoirs in the dead of night..." Dongfang Wan'er's lips curled up slightly as she looked at An Ye with a half-smile.

Dark Night's face flushed crimson instantly, for he had indeed witnessed his master barging into Miss Dongfang's room earlier that night. He inwardly groaned, wondering how he could possibly explain this.

"Ahem, Miss Dongfang, I am truly sorry. I had no choice but to intrude into your residence this time. I implore you to come to the Prince's residence and save my master..." An Ye apologized sincerely and invited Dongfang Wan'er to the Prince's residence.

"Ye Jiuchen? What happened to him?" Dongfang Wan'er asked, puzzled...

"My master has suddenly fallen into a coma... I hope Miss Dongfang can come with me to the Prince's mansion to save him..." An Ye replied anxiously.

Hearing this, Dongfang Wan'er sneered: "Hmph, what makes you think I can save Ye Jiuchen? When I told you I could heal him, not only did you not believe me, but you also beat me up! I've always remembered that debt..."

Knowing he was in the wrong, An Ye quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Miss Dongfang, what happened that day was entirely my fault. After my master recovers, I will leave my fate to you, even if it means taking my life, I will have no complaints..." He spoke sincerely and earnestly.

"You are indeed loyal. Fine, I'll go to the Prince's mansion with you, but I can't guarantee whether we can save him!" Dongfang Wan'er sighed.

“As long as you go, I believe you can definitely save the master…” Hearing this, Qiuqin, who was standing aside, finally realized who this person was.

“Miss, he… he’s the Regent’s man…” Qiuqin’s voice trembled, and her hand holding the knife was a little unsteady.

"Now you're scared? Silly girl, untie him, let's hurry to the Regent's Palace..." Dongfang Wan'er shook her head helplessly, then turned to prepare the medicine box, actually taking out some essential medicines from the laboratory just in case.

When Dongfang Wan'er and An Ye rushed to the gate of the Prince's Mansion with Qiu Qin, they heard a commotion coming from inside.

"Oh dear, quickly put the old man down, he can walk by himself, my back!" Dongfang Wan'er had just stepped into the Prince's mansion when she heard the unique loud voice of the Divine Physician Dan.

"Hey, little divine doctor Wanqing! It's you. Hurry up and put me down first..." At this moment, the divine doctor Dan was lying on An Yi's shoulder, struggling to get down.

An Yi looked up at An Ye, and after seeing the other party nod, he carefully put Dan Shenyi down.

"Little Divine Doctor Wanqing, come with me quickly, let's go see Xiao Jiuzi together..." Divine Doctor Dan couldn't wait to step forward and lead everyone towards Ye Jiuchen's room.

As soon as she stepped into the room, Dongfang Wan'er smelled a faint medicinal scent. She thought to herself: It seems that Ye Jiuchen needs to take medicine for a long time to recuperate.

At this moment, Ye Jiuchen's face was as pale as paper, and he leaned quietly against the chair, as if he had lost all life.

"Has he not taken his medicine on time?" The divine physician walked straight to Ye Jiuchen's side, his brows furrowed, and gently placed his hands on Ye Jiuchen's wrists, beginning to carefully take his pulse.

An Ye, standing to the side, glanced back and forth between Dongfang Wan'er and Ye Jiuchen a few times, and couldn't help but wonder: [How does he know whether Master has taken his medicine on time? I've stayed in the Dongfang residence the whole time and haven't left!]

At this moment, Dongfang Wan'er noticed that An Ye was staring intently at her, and she immediately felt displeased. She asked him irritably, "Why are you staring at me like that?!"

An Ye coughed awkwardly after being rebuffed by her, then turned to An Yi and asked, "Um... An Yi, has Master been taking his medicine on time lately?"

An Yi looked troubled and lowered his head to reply in a low voice, "Reporting to the commander, he has been busy outside these past few days. He is looking for a kind of white jade gemstone. After finding it, he locked himself in his room. I don't know what he is doing."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Wan'er was startled. She suddenly remembered the hairpin Ye Jiuchen had given her—could it be made of this kind of white jade gemstone? Moreover, judging from An Yi's description, Ye Jiuchen seemed to have put a lot of effort into finding this gemstone.
