ARDA - Chapter 173 - The feeling of being protected

 Jiang Ning didn't know why the fourth prince focused on her and insisted on her diagnosis and treatment.

Could it be that the dignified Fourth Prince couldn't even hire a miracle doctor? 

Jiang Ning frowned and couldn't figure out what the fourth prince saw in her.

Li Hexuan looked at the woman in front of him. Jiang Ning showed indifference and alienation. It was obvious on her face that she didn't want to get into trouble or have too much contact with him.

He was a little depressed, why?

When other women from aristocratic families in the capital saw him, they all smiled and flattered him. None of them were like her, as if they were avoiding snakes and scorpions.

The two people looked at each other, staring blankly, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

Jiang Ning thought to herself that if she refused again and again, she might annoy the fourth prince, so she might as well agree to him and diagnose his pulse. Whether he could be cured was another matter.

If the Fourth Prince's illness is difficult, just say that the medical skills are not good enough to cure it, and the Fourth Prince will not embarrass her too much.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning said, "Your Highness, Fourth Prince..."

Li Hexuan was about to speak, "Miss Jiang..."

The two of them were stunned.

Li Hexuan nodded slightly, indicating for her to speak first.

Jiang Ning said, "Since His Highness the Fourth Prince trusts me so much, it is not good to refuse again. When His Highness is free one day, you can come to me for pulse diagnosis." Her words were calm, as if she were treating an ordinary patient.

Li Hexuan choked a little and swallowed back everything he wanted to say.

"Fourth brother, ninth brother!"

At this time a voice came.

Jiang Ning looked along the sound and saw an imposing man walking over. It was Crown prince Li Xuanyuan.

Unexpectedly, they all went for a walk in the Royal Garden and bumped into each other.

Jiang Ning didn't want to get involved in trouble, so she stayed as far away from the royal family as possible, and she bumped into all of them today.

The Crown prince smiled slightly, "What a coincidence, I saw you in the Royal Garden, this is..." The Crown prince's eyes fell on Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning saluted, "Jiang Ning, a civilian girl, has met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Jiang Ning?" The Crown prince paused for a moment, "...the Jiang family?"

"Exactly." Jiang Ning replied politely.

The Crown prince's eyes fell on her and he looked her up and down, "Are you the daughter that the Marquis brought back?"

The Crown prince's eyes were probing, as if he wanted to see through Jiang Ning. What a coincidence, he met the real daughter of the Marquis family here. He had dealings with the fake daughter. This was the first time he met the real daughter.

Jiang Ning calmly replied "Yes."

The Crown prince looked at her with interest.

Li Hexuan frowned slightly. The Crown prince had married a princess long ago. He had never been interested in women and only thought about political intrigues. But now his eyes were obviously interested.

This was the first time that the Crown prince was so interested in a woman.

Jiang Ning also noticed that the Crown prince was staring at her.

This is not a good thing.

The Crown prince asked, "What were you talking about just now? It seems like you were talking about something very interesting. Why don't you let me chat with you, or would it be better for me to get out of the way?"

Li Hexuan immediately explained, "The Crown prince misunderstood. I just arrived and happened to bump into Miss Jiang and said hello."

"You know Miss Jiang?"

"We met in front of the teahouse before." Li Hexuan replied, with a calm expression, covering up what he and Jiang Ning had just talked about, and also covering up Jiang Ning's knowledge of medical skills.

With the fourth prince helping to cover it up, Jiang Ning naturally wouldn't talk much.

She felt that she should leave as soon as possible, lowered her face slightly and said, "The Empress is still waiting, so I will leave first."

"Okay, go ahead." The Crown prince waved his hand.

Jiang Ning greeted the Ninth Prince and left quickly. It wasn't until she walked out of the Royal Garden and out of the Crown Prince's sight that she slowed down and breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, when she entered the palace this time, she would meet all the troublesome people.

The Crown prince and the fourth prince were all people she wanted to avoid.

When Jiang Ning returned to Kunning Palace, the Empress heard that Jiang Ning had bumped into the crown prince and the fourth prince, and said, "You don't need to worry. I'm protecting you. No one in this palace dares to touch you, so don't be nervous."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Jiang Ning thanked her.

As long as she doesn't offend anyone, the crown prince and the fourth prince will probably not do anything to her.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered Chu Yunli's words. If there was any trouble, she could just go to him. She didn't need to look at anyone's face.

The Empress and Chu Yunli are truly a family, and everything they say has the same purpose.

When Jiang Ning thought about it, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and a warm current seemed to flow through her heart. Is this what it feels like to be protected by someone...?

Being protected...

Is she being protected by Chu Yunli?

Jiang Ning was slightly startled, something disturbed her heart, and she became confused for a moment.

.......

Another place, the Royal Garden.

The Crown prince and the fourth prince were taking a slow walk.

The Crown prince said, "By the way, I heard that Divine Doctor Ye has returned to the capital. After traveling around the world for many years, Divine Doctor Ye is finally back... Fourth brother, do you want to see Doctor Ye to check on your illness?"

The Crown prince stopped and turned to look at Li Hexuan.

When no one is around in private, the two of them will address each other as you and me. They are brothers and have a close relationship.

Li Hexuan was startled for a moment, then a bitter look appeared on his face, and he shook his head, "No need, I know my situation myself. I have been seeing doctors for so many years, but they can't cure it. I have no hope in this life."

The Crown prince frowned, "Don't say that, it can always be cured. Divine Doctor Ye is very skilled in medicine, so maybe there is a way. I will summon Divine Doctor Ye to diagnose your pulse tomorrow."

"Imperial Brother, there's really no need for that."

Li Hexuan sighed deeply, "After so many years of seeing a doctor, it's time to give up."

"Actually, it's good to be an idle person. You have no burdens on your shoulders and can do whatever you want. Maybe you can live a few more years..." He smiled lightly, with relief in his smile, as if he had put it down.

The Crown prince looked worried, "Let Divine Doctor Ye take a look at it and let's talk after he's seen you."

"You are my only biological brother. How can I watch you suffer like this? I said that I will definitely search for divine doctors in the world to cure your illness. No matter how much it costs, I will definitely cure your illness."

The Crown prince spoke seriously and his words were touching.

Li Hexuan was moved, "Imperial Brother..."

The Crown prince patted Li Hexuan on the shoulder, "Only when you get better can my mother and I feel relieved."

The two of them continued to move forward, taking a leisurely walk.

After half an hour, Li Hexuan left the palace.

The Crown prince did not return to the East Palace, but went to Fengluan Palace to find his biological mother, the Imperial Concubine.

"Mother, you are looking for me?"

Concubine Xue was graceful and regal, her appearance was still the same as when she was thirty. She picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that Divine Doctor Ye has returned to the capital?"

"Yes, I am about to ask Dr. Ye to examine my fourth brother."

Concubine Xue frowned slightly and put down her tea cup, "Ask Dr. Ye to see him. What if he is really cured?"

The Crown prince sat down and smiled lightly, "Don't worry, even Dr. Ye can't cure his disease."
