ARDA - Chapter 184 - No Hesitation is Scamming People

 After hearing this, Li Hexuan's face did not change much. It seemed that he had already known that he had been poisoned. He clenched his fists making his knuckles turn white.

"Can it be cured?" he asked in a deep voice.

Jing Ning's eyes were deep and she pondered several methods in her mind. Then, she said, "There are several methods to try. But, the poison has seeped into the five internal organs, and the chances of recovery is very small."

Then she raised her gaze. "It is also possible for the toxin to worsen."

When Li Hexuan heard that there was a chance of recovery, his eyes immediately ignited hope and her stared intently at Jiang Ning.

"Is there really a way?"

He had heard too many people say he won't live long, and the they have no way to solve it and he can only await death.

But now Jiang Ning's words gave him a thread of hope.

Jiang Ning came to her senses. On the way to treat him, she only sees the Fourth Prince as an ordinary patient. Only now did she come to her senses. The person in front of her is His Highness the Fourth Prince... If she does not treat him well, even a slightest mistake may get her convicted.

She composed herself and said, "Yes, but the chance of a successful recovery is only twenty percent. If there is any complications during the treatment, Your Highness will immediately succumb and die due to the poison."

No one is not afraid of death, and the Fourth Prince is no exception.

The higher one's position, the more afraid of death a person is. When they learn that the treatment may cause death, they usually refuse treatment.

Jiang Ning thought in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Li Hexuan suddenly smiled, his smile came from the heart, and the coldness in his eyes melted away, like welcoming a spring breeze.

His lips curled slightly, "As long as there is a way, I'm willing to try it."

Jiang Ning was stunned, what? He wants to continue treatment?

"Your Highness, have you understood clearly? The rate of recovery is very small, and if an accident occurs in the middle, you will immediately die! With Your Highness' current condition, you can at least hold on for another five years. During which you can seek a better solution, why must you…" 

Why must he ask her to treat him?

"Miss Jian, please rest assured. No one will know about my request for treatment. Even if I were to die of the poison, you will not be blamed."

Li Hexuan spoke calmly. The biggest reason why he asked Jiang Ning to diagnose was that no one could know about his detoxification.

There are eyes everywhere in his mansion, people planted by Concubine Xue and the Crown Prince. If he makes a slightest move, he will be discovered.

Jiang Ning's medical skills is hidden. No one in the Capital knows that she practices medicine, which works perfectly for him.

Li Hexuan's face is serious, it has to be her.

Jiang Ning was speechless for a while. The Fourth Prince had already made up his mind about her, and it was useless to refuse him. She raised her face and looked at the man in front of her, "If I treat you, what will your highness give me?"

"My consultation fee is not cheap. There are also rare herbs that Your Highness needs to find yourself."

Since that's the case, she has to make a good profit.

If she is to dig a pit she has to do it thoroughly, and she also has to calculate all the account from her previous life.

Li Hexuan smiled faintly, "Miss Jiang can speak freely. If I can afford it, there will never be any second thoughts."

"Oh? Is it that casual?" Jiang Ning smiled playfully, "Then, will the position of the Imperial Consort be given?"

Li Hexuan was stunned, unable to maintain his gentle smile, and was a little astonished.

"Just kidding..." Jiang Ning said casually and didn't take it seriously. She thought that with the Fourth Prince's noble status. It should be fine to ask for a thousand gold pieces and request rare herbs that were difficult to find in the capital.

The old man Xue will definitely be happy if she gets some precious herbs and give it to him.

She opened the medicine box and said, "Today I will take some of His Highness's blood and see how deep the poison penetrated."

She took out the porcelain bottle, and a thin blade.

Li Hexuan was still in a daze and has not yet return to his senses.

Jing Ning took his hand and cut a knife in his palm, allowing the blood to flow out. After a while, she felt a little unsatisfied, so she made another cut.

Li Hexuan frowned tightly, without saying a word.

After filling a small porcelain bottle, Jiang Ning finally stopped.

Then she took out the specially formulated wound healing  ointment from the medicine box, "This is a wound healing medicine. Apply it, and the wound should heal within three days."

"...I've troubled you." Li Hexuan stretched out his palm, and the wounds looked hideous. He didn't expect that she was so cold and heartless, and she didn't blink at all when she cut him with a knife.

Jiang Ning put the wound medicine on the table and motioned him to apply it himself.

"Your Highness can take it to use."

His other hand is fine, he was not injured, so he could definitely get the medicine by himself.

Li Hexuan "..."

He must have done something to offend her!

Which prominent ladies in the Capital is not trying to please him? But the woman in front of him acted uniquely, and it was obvious that she is showing disdain towards him.

He obviously did nothing, and treated her with courtesy, yet he could see indifference and alienation on her face, avoiding him like a venomous snake.

As the Fourth Prince, he now experienced the feeling of defeat for the first time.

Finally, he could only take the wound medicine from the table and apply it on the wound in his palm.

The wound hurt, his face turned pale and his brows were slightly furrowed.

After applying the wound medicine, Jiang Ning timely handed the gauze to let him bandage himself.

Li Hexuan smiled bitterly. Apart from laughing, he doesn’t know how else can he express himself, “Miss Jiang, it’s a bit inconvenient for me to use my hand…”

"Oh."

Jing Ning let out a light oh. That is right how could one hand be able to do the bandaging?

She took the gauze and smoothly bandaged his wound several times. She could complete it even with her eyes closed.

As Jiang Ning lowered her head to dress his wound, Li Hexuan's eyes is fixed on her. Her face was so cold and calm, without any other emotions, she is always the same, as if she didn't care about his identity as the Fourth Prince.

After the bandaging is done, Jiang Ning raised her face and said, "It's done."

"I'll take away this bottle of blood with me. After checking for toxicity, I'll let someone send a letter to the teahouse."

"Okay." Li Hexuan nodded.

Jiang Ning put the porcelain bottle containing blood into the medicine box and closed it.

..........

The entrance of Qingxin Tea House.

Jiang Mengyue's beautiful eyes sparkled as she raised her head to glance at the sign of the teahouse. "Qingxin Teahouse..."

It is the Fourth Prince's property.

In her dream, she saw the Fourth Prince coming to Qingxin Tea House today.

The Fourth Prince must be in the private room in the third floor. Room number one is not open to the public, and it is a private room exclusive to the Fourth Prince.

Jiang Mengyue raised her feet and walked in.

She came to see the Fourth Prince today, and she had to meet him early... Just thinking of the handsome and refined Fourth Prince made her cheeks blush slightly.

He is her future husband.

After Jiang Mengyue walked into the teahouse, she took advantage of the waiter's inattention and walked up the stairs heading straight to the third floor.

The third floor is quiet and there are no guests who drinks tea.

She stared at the Room number one nervously, tightly clenching her handkerchief.

Although it seemed that there was no guard at this time, there are secret guards watching. The only way to see the Fourth Prince is to sneak in unexpectedly.

Only in this way can she meet the Fourth Prince.
