Chapter 162: Trouble Knocks on the Door (5)
"Hanzhang, how do you feel?"
Chu Heng sat by the bedside, looking at Xiao Ruiyuan with concern.
At this moment, Xiao Ruiyuan weakly leaned against the head of the bed, his face still pale. Upon hearing Chu Heng's inquiry, his expression softened a lot. "Your Highness, rest assured, Hanzhang is fine."
"With me here, even if you've taken a step into the gates of hell, I can still pull you back," the ghost physician, standing beside them, comforted with a smile. Suddenly, he became serious and continued, "However, your injuries were too severe this time. If it weren't for that little girl bringing you out of the deep mountains and forests, and then timely finding Yan Kid, by the time we found you, you would have already met the King of Hell."
Xiao Ruiyuan frowned upon hearing this. It turned out that he was rescued from such a dangerous place by a little girl?
Seeing his confusion, Chu Heng explained the whole story in detail. Finally, he sincerely praised, "That Miss Mo is indeed extraordinary. She can command Xiao Hua and dare to go into the mountains herself to save you. She's a kind-hearted and good girl."
Upon hearing that he was saved by Mo Yan again, Xiao Ruiyuan was momentarily stunned. Unexpectedly, he thought of that beautiful smiling face. A strange feeling surged in his heart, sour and soft, mixed with indescribable emotions, making him have an urgent desire to see that smiling face.
This unfamiliar and uncontrollable feeling left him at a loss. Unfortunately, Xiao Ruiyuan, at the age of twenty, was so indifferent that even when a girl who admired him fell in front of him, he could ignore it. How could he know that he was in love now?
Chu Heng didn't notice his unusual behavior, his face filled with deep remorse. "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have risked your life like this! Hanzhang, my body is much better now, and it will get better in the future. You don't need to risk your life for my sake anymore."
At the end, Chu Heng's voice trembled slightly.
A warm current surged in Xiao Ruiyuan's heart. However, he wasn't good at comforting others, so his words came out stiffly, "Your Highness, this time it was Hanzhang's carelessness that led to others' plots. You don't need to blame yourself! It's a pity we didn't find that Red Mange Snake this time and retrieve its gallbladder for Your Highness."
At the end, Xiao Ruiyuan's eyes turned cold. Those people had tried to kill him, simply to stop him from finding the Red Mange Snake's gallbladder to cure the prince. However, even without this incident, they would have tried everything to eliminate him, leaving the prince with no support, letting them manipulate him as they pleased.
"Did you see the Red Mange Snake this time?" The ghost physician's face was full of excitement. As long as they obtained the Red Mange Snake's gallbladder and found the Black Lingzhi and Millennium Ginseng, they could completely remove the toxins from the prince's body.
Xiao Ruiyuan shook his head, a hint of regret flashing through his icy eyes. "I originally found a trace of it, and it was likely that we could continue to search and find it. Unfortunately, it was all destroyed by those people."
The ghost physician also looked regretful. They had received news of the Red Mange Snake appearing on Yuhua Mountain years ago. However, despite sending people to search for many years, no one had ever seen its trace. This time, they clearly had a chance to find it, but it was destroyed by those people.
"By the way, I have an idea," the ghost physician suddenly thought of a good idea and said excitedly, "Since you were found by that little wolf cub, it must often go into the mountains. Why not let it go and find it?"
The more the ghost physician talked, the better he felt about this idea. Xiao Hua was not an ordinary wolf. With it going in to search, it would surely be able to find the Red Mange Snake by following its scent, which was much better than a group of people going in aimlessly.
Xiao Ruiyuan and Chu Heng glanced at each other, seeing the joy in each other's eyes.
"Don't even think about it. Based on Xiao Hua's personality, do you think it will obediently listen?"
