Yuchi Ru Gong fainting, the entire third prince residence broke into chaos, the guards carried Yuchi Gong Ru into the house in a fluster, then went to get a doctor, a group of doctors came in, all shook their heads and sighed before leaving.

 

The third prince's guards were so anxious they resembled cats on a hot tin roof, all the doctors in the city couldn't treat him, they could only invite the imperial physicians from the palace, what they didn't expect was, seven or eight imperial physicians came, surrounding Yuchi Gong Ru's bed without room for movement, they took his pulse, gave acupuncture, finally they burst into a lively discussion.

 

The sun rose from the east and set in the west, a day passed in a blink, the most depressing thing wasn't even a plan for treatment, the guards in the third prince's residence were so irritated they chased them out one by one.

 

While the third prince's residence was in disorder, Bai Mo evaded the patrolling guards, sneakily jumping through a window into Yuchi Gong Ru's study.

 

Bai Mo walked behind the desk, checking to see if there was a hidden compartment in the desk, an average person loved to put some secrets there.

 

As expected, his finger lightly pressed on a button under the desk, a woosh sound followed.

 

Bai Mo crouched on the floor, after looking around he put a strand of hair into the hole and opened the secret draw, several drawings were inside, and a secret letter.

 

Bai Mo opened the secret letter his eyebrows raising, "It was actually from Beiling's crown prince...let me see what's written inside..."

 

It was rather dark in the room, Bai Mo walked to the window using the dim light from outside the window to read it, the next moment, he put the letter into his sleeve, quietly leaving.

 

Inside the third prince's bedroom, several personal guards were talking about inviting the miracle doctor Bai Mo to treat their master, no matter the price they had to save their master.

 

However after treating the Dayan old emperor, miracle doctor Bai Mo had disappeared, it's said the second prince had invited the miracle doctor Bai Mo.

 

The third prince's guards summoned up the courage to knock on the second prince's residence, by coincidence an uninvited guest appeared in Ru Ge's study.

 

Ru Ge sat at the tea table pouring tea steadily from the teapot in his hand, he wasn't alarmed or surprised by Bai Mo who had entered through the window.

 

"Come drink some tea, you've rushed so much, you must be thirsty?" Ru Ge said as he pushed the tea cup towards Bai Mo.

 

Bai Mo picked up the cup and drank it in one, this tea really tasted good, and great for quenching thirst.

 

Ru Ge said: "Why are you dressed like that, did you come from my third brother?"

 

Bai Mo nodded and sat down, if it wasn't for his sworn brother-in-law, forcing him with this task, fortunately he had gotten what he wanted.

 

He didn't know anyone in Dayan so he could only take a rest at Ru Ge's, after a good rest he would set off tomorrow.

 

Ru Ge nodded, he knew where Xiao Yi Chen was, but didn't know what his plans were for Yuchi Gong Ru, Bai Mo's medical skills and martial arts were exceptional, it wasn't strange for Xiao Yi Chen to send him to infiltrate Dayan.

 

The housekeeper hurried to the study door, knocking he said: "Master, someone has asked to see you from the third prince's residence."

 

Ru Ge turned to look at Bai Mo, a trace of a smile yet not a smile on his lips, "Did they come because of you?"

 

Bai Mo spread out his hands: "They came to find you, how am I worth the visit?"

 

Ru Ge laughed, saying to the housekeeper behind the door: "Let them in!"

 

The housekeeper very quickly invited the third prince's guard to the study door, Ru Ge asked through the door, "I wonder why you have come to find this prince?"

 

Even though he was Yuchi Gong Ru's brother, they didn't have any friendly relations, after he had been plotted against by Yuchi Gong Ru they were incompatible as water and fire.

 

The third prince's guard knelt lowering his head asking: "This subordinate's master is seriously ill, all the famous doctors in the city have been invited, even the imperial physicians came, but each were helpless in treating the master, I heard the second prince and the miracle doctor Bai Mo have some kind of friendship, and ask considering you and the master are brothers, to invite miracle doctor Bai Mo to examine the master."

 

Inside the study, Ru Ge smiled at Bai Mo, he was clearly saying: See, they really came because of you.

 

Bai Mo waved his hand, he had no interest in saving Yuchi Gong Ru, especially as he's someone Xiao Yi Chen can't stand the sight of.

 

Ru Ge smiled and shook his head, saying to the outside: "Apologies, miracle doctor Bai Mo has already left Dayan."

 

The third prince's guard kneeling on the ground seemed to be struck by lightening, he was lost in thought for a long time.

 

Bai Mo wasn't in Dayan which meant Yuchi Gong Ru couldn't be saved...

 

The third prince's guard bit his lip and suddenly began kowtowing with a bang outside, "Beg second prince to save my master...beg second prince to save my master...only you can save my master, this subordinate is willing to go through water and tread on fire."

 

The sharp and clear kowtowing sound and the begging entered into the room, even a hard-hearted person would be moved by such a loyal servant.

 

Bai Mo searched around in his sleeve, placing a small porcelain bottle onto the table.

 

Ru Ge raised an eyebrow, using his eyes to ask what Bai Mo means by this.

 

Bai Mo coughed: "This can temporarily supress the poison in him, you can give the favour." He finished speaking and stood up walking to the bookshelf to flip through a book.

 

Ru Ge laughed, he stood up and walked out, third prince's guard had already hit his head open, blood and mud on his forehead, the gaze he had towards Ru Ge was bright and burning.

 

Was the second prince willing to save third prince?

 

Ru Ge stood looking down from above at the guard kneeling on the ground, asking: "Does your going through water and treading on fire include betraying your master?!"

 

The guard stared at Ru Ge with wide blank eyes, gradually his eyes dimmed and he lowered his head, this was a conflicting question, did he really have to do it?

 

He heard Ru Ge say above his head: "Humph, before miracle doctor Bai Mo left he gave this prince a bottle of pellets which can detoxify poison, this prince was moved by your devotion, I'll give you one pellet if you can give me the remaining flints in Yuchi Gong Ru's possession."

The guard gritted his teeth and nodded, turning he left in determination.

 

Bai Mo leaned against the door, his hands wrapped around his chest as he smiled at Ru Ge: "I didn't think you would be so interested in flints as well?"

 

Ru Ge said: "Such a destructive weapon, it can even force the wise and farsighted prince Chen to run like a mouse in an alley, I of course want to take a look."

 

Bai Mo laughed: "Then do you mind taking a look together?"

 

Ru Ge shrugged, indicating he didn't mind, the flints were obtained by using Bai Mo's medicine, there wasn't a reason to not let him share in it.

 

Sure enough, two hours later that guard came back, he didn't have time to treat the wound on his forehead, he had a black sack on his back, inside were thirty flints.

 

The guard took the antidote back in perfect contention, what was going to happen to him, he didn't know.

 

Bai Mo took a piece of flint to study under the oil lamp, Ru Ge swapped the oil lamp for a night pearl with black lines on his forehead, "This is a flint? Aren't you afraid of playing with fire and getting burnt?"

 

Bai Mo chuckled, rubbing his nose, "That, can I discuss something with you?"

 

Ru Ge smiled: "You want me to give these flints to you? I'm sorry but I can't do that, there's another use for these flints, but I can lend them to you to study for a night."

 

Bai Mo's forehead was covered in black lines, he was a doctor not a weapons expert, he wouldn't be able to find out what were the ingredients within a night.

 

The second day, Ru Ge received news Yuchi Gong Ru was awake, as soon as he woke he executed a bunch of guards, because they failed to protect him.

 

Ru Ge shook his head and sighed, that guard who had come kowtowing for medicine was amongst them, such devotion yet in exchange there was only death.

 

Ru Ge said: "I hope in your next life you won't get another wrong master..."

 

When the first light of day touched the ground, Bai Mo madly ran in the woods using light martial arts with a bundle on his back, looking behind him from time to time to see if Ru Ge's guards were chasing after him.

 

Last night Ru Ge gave him one flint to study, he looked at it for two hours, taking opportunity of the darkness he ran off with a bundle. Ru Ge had at least respected him to not let dogs give chase.

 

At this moment, Ji Ling Xue and Xiao Yi Chen woke up in a roadside tavern, after eating breakfast, the two went on a walk hand in hand, they were this leisurely because they were waiting for Bai Mo, and because they had already reached the border of Dongqi, Yuchi Gong Ru couldn't follow them this far with his poisoned body.

 

Ji Ling Xue looked at the sun rise in the east, "I haven't seen the sunrise in a long time."

 

Xiao Yi Chen said: "When we return to the capital, if you want to watch, this prince will carry you onto the roof."

 

Ji Ling Xue smiled at Xiao Yi Chen, "Are you being serious? You'll carry me?"

 

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, Ji Ling Xue stood behind Xiao Yi Chen, jumping up she was sprawled on Xiao Yi Chen's back, both arms wrapped around his neck, she chuckled, "Good, let's go."

 

Xiao Yi Chen's face was full of black lines, did he dig himself a hole, carrying Ji Ling Xue he slowly walked forward, Ji Ling Xue rubbed her face against Xiao Yi Chen's neck in satisfaction, Xiao Yi Chen's ears turned red.

 

Bai Mo's figure appeared in Xiao Yi Chen's line of sight, Xiao Yi Chen placed Ji Ling Xue onto the ground, once again his distinguished and elegant princely image returned, "Bai Mo!"

 

Bai Mo rubbed the sweat on his forehead, speeding up he came to stand in front of Xiao Yi Chen, passing him the bundle: "I completed the task without disappointing you."

 

Xiao Yi Chen took the bundle and opened it up, nodding in satisfaction, he took out a letter asking: "What is this?"

 

Bai Mo said: "Beiling crown prince and Yuchi Gong Ru's collaboration letter, they plan to make a move against our Dongqi, prince going to Dayan this time ruined Yuchi Gong Ru's plans, Yuchi Gong Ru had planned to use these flints to force an abdication and become emperor, then march towards Dongqi in a alliance with Beiling."

 

Xiao Yi Chen sneered, "He wants to be Dayan's emperor with that body?" Without his permission, he wouldn't be able to take that position.

 

Bai Mo agreed and nodded, "Besides, what has he been poisoned with?" A poison which the imperial physicians couldn't even treat it must be a very powerful poison, if it wasn't because of his position, he really wanted to treat Yuchi Gong Ru, cough, cough, this was the hobby of a doctor.

 

Ji Ling Xue said: "I don't know." Ru Ge had administered the poison, she had given Ru Ge some poisons, but there wasn't anything this potent, Ru Ge probably added a few more poisons to the one she gave him, that's why it had such a perverted effect.

 

Xiao YI Chen said: "Since we're all here, let's go, we ought to return to the capital."

 

Dongqi capital city, prince Chen's residence.

 

Ji Yu Qing sat in Yi Yun's room with Zi Ye, "Sister Yi Yun, are you well, why did you fall seriously ill, prince has left for over half a month, you've seen so many doctors, you take medicine three times a day, how are you not any better?"

 

On the bed Yi Yun was as pale as a sheet of paper with heavy dark eye circles, "Cough, cough" she covered her mouth, "It's nothing, this illness probably came from the mountains, my body is rather weak...I already sent someone to go to the palace, Ji Ling Xue won't be able to remain princess for long..."
