His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 181: Variable

Yu Qing Qian couldn’t explain clearly how she felt about Chi Mo Ran either. The other party had her own blood essence in him, and the feeling of being connected by blood made her unable to hate and utterly detest him for some reason. 

In the room, Leng Ling Shuang, Chi Xuan, and Huo Ye Feng took turns checking Lu Zhan and found that the poison in his body had actually been cured. They were all shocked from the bottom of their hearts and there was a constant feeling of disbelief. 

“Everyone, has Zhan’er’s¹ poison been cured?” City Lord Lu noticed that Lu Zhan had not only woken up, but the darkness on his face had disappeared and he was even a little rosy. He already believed that the poison was expelled, but since the three had worked on it the entire day, he still asked. 

Chi Xuan looked surprised and confused. When he heard City Lord Lu’s question, he nodded and said: “The poison in Young Lord Lu’s body has indeed been completely cured and there are no sequelae. Even the meridians that had been previously damaged and shrunken have been restored. He only needs to rest a few days. This is simply a miracle.”

Right now, he really wanted to rush to Yu Qing Qian and ask for advice on how to detoxify, but he still held back. 

Huo Ye Feng added: “Qing Qian’s medical skills have truly reached an extraordinary level. If it hadn’t been for her this time, Young City Lord’s poison wouldn’t have been cured. City Lord must thank her well later.”

When he was in the Academy, he heard people say that Yu Qing Qian’s healing skills were superb during the first freshmen training. He didn’t care at the time, but now that he saw someone—who was diagnosed and treated for poisoning and about to die—wake up after detoxifying, it felt like a dream. 

Such poison that even a Master-level Healer might be unable to do anything about, how did Yu Qing Qian do it?

“Young Miss Yu’s healing skills are indeed very good. I wonder how she detoxified Young Lord Lu.”

Leng Ling Shuang still had a gentle smile on her face, but the piercing pain from her nails in her palms told her that this was all true. 

She had never heard of a Healer named Yu Qing Qian before, nor even the name Yu Qing Qian.

She was also puzzled by Chi Mo Ran’s attitude towards Yu Qing Qian. That man had never been nosy, so how could he help someone he didn’t know this time just because she looked similar to him? 

Or maybe Chi Mo Ran believed that Yu Qing Qian could detoxify Lu Zhan from the very beginning? Otherwise, if Yu Qing Qian failed and Lu Zhan died, City Lord Lu would definitely place part of his resentment on Chi Mo Ran. 

Chi Mo Ran was a very cold and rational person from his bones. Even her deliberate pleasing for so many years since she was a child still hadn’t made him open his heart and accept her. Logically speaking, it was impossible to take the risk for Yu Qing Qian and making City Lord Lu blame him. So why was this? 

In her previous life, she grew up in the Leng Clan and had little contact with Chi Mo Ran, let alone know whether Yu Qing Qian had anything to do with him.

Had there always existed this person in the previous life, but she had just never heard of her before, or was this person an additional variable in the current?

A feeling like being out of control made Leng Ling Shuang sober up a lot. Between her past life and her current, her life had undergone earth-shattering changes and the things she came into contact with were also different. 

She shouldn’t be overconfident solely relying on that prior knowledge. The sudden appearance of Yu Qing Qian was a warning. 

City Lord Lu finally revealed an expression of relief after hearing the words of the three Healers and said with a hearty laugh: “I didn’t expect Young Miss Yu to be so good at healing at such a young age. I must thank her for her lifesaving grace.”

Lu Zhan just woke up, so the weariness on his face couldn’t be concealed at all. Seeing this, City Lord Lu patted him on the shoulder and said, “Everything is over. You have a good rest, your father will go out and entertain the distinguished guests.”

Lu Zhan nodded and said with a smile: “I’m fine now. Father, please don’t neglect the distinguished guests because of me, especially Young Miss Yu. Without her, I might really not have been able to wake up.”

“Father knows, you should get some sleep first.”

¹just a reminder that the ‘er’ (儿) placed after a name is a term of endearment, often said by people older to someone younger that they are close to. Boys might add it to the end of a girl’s name too, often someone they’re dating. I have heard of 儿 being used in official names, but Lu Zhan’s name is just Lu Zhan.
