Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 115

Chapter 115 Hold a Test Drug Hostage
After the four of them walked in, they sat down. However, Yun Xiao stood behind Rong Jin with a small suitcase in her hand.

Zhou Jingyan chuckled and said, “Who are Doctor Jin’s two friends?”

When Yun Xiao heard this, she sneered. She did not remember to ask when she was outside the door, but she did ask at this time. However, Yun Xiao and Zhou Jingyan had accompanied each other in her previous life, so she naturally understood Zhou Jingyan’s suspicions. Although he had let Jiang Qing and herself in, they might not trust him.

If they could not be trusted, they would most likely not be able to leave the Third Prince’s Mansion.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiao’s forehead was filled with vigilance. However, when Yun Xiao saw Rong Jin’s calm expression, the worry in her heart had also disappeared.

Rong Jin looked at Jiang Qing, who had an extremely interested expression. “This is my good friend, and his medical skills are not bad.” After saying that, he looked at Yun Xiao and introduced him casually. “This is my medicine boy. He came back to help me with my work a few days ago.”

Zhou Jingyan nodded. However, he still had some doubts about Jiang Qing’s identity as a doctor, but he had great expectations for his illness.

However, when he looked at Yun Xiao’s line of sight, he always felt a sense of familiarity in that pair of eyes that emitted a faint light. He remembered that the source of his illness this time was Xiao Yuqi, and his eyes were filled with killing intent towards Doctor Jin.

Although Doctor Jin could save him, he was indeed acquainted with Xiao Yuqi. Zhou Jingyan had no choice but to suspect that Doctor Jin had been instructed by Xiao Yuqi in this matter.

However, he was currently in his own mansion. Even if the doctor in front of him was instructed by Xiao Yuqi, he still had the ability to prevent the three of them from leaving his mansion.

Once he found out about his secret, there were only two paths before the three of them. One was to submit to him, Zhou Jingyan, and the other was to die. He believed that the three of them would be smart and knew which answer was beneficial to them.

With that thought in mind, Zhou Jingyan’s doubts about them disappeared. He placed his wrist on the table and said, “Since that’s the case, please ask Doctor Jin to treat me.”

Last time, after Doctor Jin went to see him, his entire body seemed to have disappeared from the world. He couldn’t find it at all. This made Zhou Jingyan feel very suspicious. However, in order to have a normal life in the future, he had to find Doctor Jin again. The timing of Doctor Jin’s appearance was really a bit of a coincidence.

Rong Jin’s warm eyebrows carried a faint smile. His expression was calm, as if he had not noticed that the man opposite them had already attacked them with killing intent, nor did he notice that there were many dangers here.

Rong Jin concentrated on placing his hand on Zhou Jingyan’s wrist. Not long later, he frowned slightly. Seeing that Zhou Jingyan’s heart was tightly knitted, he wanted to ask. However, thinking about his face, he was a shrewd person, so he suppressed the most urgent thoughts in his heart.

Not only did Zhou Jingyan place his gaze on Rong Jin’s wrist, but Yun Xiao also stared at him tightly. Her heart was also tightly lifted, and she faintly felt as if she was looking forward to something.

When she saw Rong Jin’s frown, Yun Xiao only felt her heart tighten again.

Although Rong Jin was watching his own wrist, he could still sense the pressure coming from Zhou Jingyan and Yun Xiao. This made Rong Jin curious again who Yun Xiao was.

However, at this moment, the room was very quiet, and no one spoke.

After a long time, just when Yun Xiao felt that her body was a little stiff and her heart and lungs were a little difficult because of the prolonged tension, Rong Jin finally opened his mouth and spoke. However, what he said disappointed both Yun Xiao and Zhou Jingyan.

Rong Jin’s thin lips gently opened, “Brother Jiang, come and give it a try.”

Seeing Rong Jin’s expression, Jiang Qing nodded cautiously. “Alright.” However, when the corner of his eyes noticed the disappointed expressions of Zhou Jingyan and Yun Xiao, the corner of his mouth slightly rose. A strange expression appeared in his heart. He actually had the intention to tease Yun Xiao at the knee.

Yun Xiao did not expect Rong Jin’s first sentence to be like this. She raised her heart, and her disappointment also spread across her face.

Jiang Qing sat in Rong Jin’s seat. She imitated Rong Jin’s appearance and placed her three fingers between Zhou Jingyan’s arms. She narrowed her eyes with a calm expression. In the eyes of others, she really felt that the person in front of them was a miraculous doctor. Only Rong Jin and Jiang Qing knew that he was just pretending.

After a long time, Jiang Qing finally withdrew her hand. Then, she exchanged glances with Rong Jin and lightly nodded her head. There was a faint light between her eyebrows.

When Rong Jin saw this, he said, “Third Prince’s current illness can be cured, but it’s more troublesome.”

Zhou Jingyan heard that there was a faint glow on his face. Previously, many imperial physicians had said that he was hopeless, but he didn’t believe it. This time, he finally heard a joyful piece of news.

“Are you serious?”

“Naturally, it’s just …” After Rong Jin finished his sentence, he focused his efforts on Zhou Jingyan with a faint expression. “I need the cooperation of His Highness the Third Prince.”

This was the first time Zhou Jingyan had heard that his body could be treated. The joy in his heart was not concealed, but it was only an instant before he calmed down. He looked at Yun Xiao and Rong Jin with a hint of killing intent in his eyes, but he concealed it very well. “I will naturally cooperate, but I don’t know how Doctor Jin intends to treat them.”

Rong Jin smiled faintly and instructed Yun Xiao, who was standing motionless, to “serve the ink.”

Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment before she remembered that Rong Jin was instructing her. Although she did not want to move, in order not to attract Zhou Jingyan’s attention, she still absent-mindedly took out pen and ink and other items from the small medicine chest. However, Yun Xiao was completely unable to calm down now.

Rong Jin actually said that Zhou Jingyan still had treatment, but how was that possible? If he could really treat it, wouldn’t all of his previous efforts be in vain?

No, she couldn’t allow this to happen, but now Yunxiao couldn’t stop Rong Jin. When Yunxiao wanted to make a move, Zhou Jingyan’s cold eyes had already turned to look at him.

Yun Xiao had no choice but to put away her thoughts.

In just a short moment, Rong Jin and Jiang Qing discussed the prescription. Of course, most of the time, Rong Jin was talking about the name of the prescription. Jiang Qing was talking about the dosage of the prescription. The reason why the two of them were able to cooperate so perfectly was because they knew about Zhou Jingyan’s illness and had memorized the prescription well.

Rong Jin handed the prescription to Zhou Jingyan and said respectfully, “Your Highness the Third Prince, if you follow this prescription for a year, and cooperate with my medicinal bath, the medicine will definitely be cured. However, during this year, you must not go to bed.”

Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the one-year time limit. Fortunately, she still had one year left. Zhou Jingyan could not have a house or children during this year. This kind of torture would follow Zhou Jingyan for a year. The one-year competition for the first wife had already begun. She would definitely be able to make Zhou Jingyan fall forever within this year.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiao’s nervous system, which had been tense for a long time, relaxed a little.

Just as Rong Jin finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open. Ten guards barged in from outside and surrounded the three people in the room.

Seeing this, Zhou Jingyan’s eyes shone brightly before he said softly, “Doctor Jin, since my illness requires a year to recover, I’ll have to trouble Doctor Jin to stay in the manor for a year.”

Although he was speaking tactfully, everyone here knew that Zhou Jingyan was being imprisoned in disguise, so when they saw this scene, none of them spoke.

Yun Xiao unconsciously walked to Rong Jin’s side. She had been observing Rong Jin and Zhou Jingyan’s every move. Now, she was curious about how Rong Jin was going to escape.

When Yun Xiao felt a line of sight fall on her, her body suddenly stiffened for a moment. However, Yun Xiao did not turn around to look back. Once she looked, she really exposed herself to Zhou Jingyan’s gaze.

Rong Jin’s expression was calm, as if he hadn’t noticed the movements around him at all. He only smiled lightly and said, “That’s natural. It just so happens that I, Jin, have just arrived in the capital. I haven’t been able to find a place to stay for the past few days. With His Highness the Third Prince taking care of me, it would naturally be great.”

Zhou Jingyan was slightly surprised by Rong Jin’s sensibility, but he was still satisfied with the current situation. “Alright, Butler Li, help Doctor Jin and the others arrange accommodation.”

After Zhou Jingyan finished speaking, Rong Jin said softly, “By the way, let someone bring in a wooden bucket. His Highness the Third Prince is going to take a medicinal bath.”

The guard looked at Zhou Jingyan suspiciously and only walked out after Zhou Jingyan nodded.

There were guards going down, but there were still guards guarding this place.

In a short while, two guards came in carrying large wooden buckets, followed by a few guards carrying small wooden buckets and pouring hot water into them.

Rong Jin also walked forward and took out two small medicine bottles from his bosom. After mixing the medicine in the two medicine bottles, he poured them into the bath tub. As the medicine was injected into the bath tub, the bath tub had already turned a faint yellow color.

Zhou Jingyan naturally saw these changes. His eyebrows slightly trembled. Although he had just intimidated Rong Jin and the others, Zhou Jingyan still did not trust these people.

The ancients used to say that a doctor kills people invisibly. This sentence was naturally reasonable. As long as the doctor in front of him made some moves in the medicine, it would be too late for him to regret it.

Zhou Jingyan once again looked at the alchemy boy who had been following behind Rong Jin. He frowned slightly and suddenly took a step forward in front of Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao never thought that Zhou Jingyan would come this far. Her entire body was slightly dumbfounded. Even so, Zhou Jingyan would not let her go easily.

Zhou Jingyan’s big hand grabbed Yun Xiao’s arm. The warmth on his face had disappeared and was replaced by a faint cold aura. His sharp gaze stared at Yun Xiao all the time, but his words were directed at Rong Jin. “Since Doctor Jin is willing to stay and treat me, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind using his own medicine boy to test the medicine for me, right?”
