On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 179 - Alone with the Divine Doctor

Chapter 179 -179 Alone with the Divine Doctor

The windows made from shells allowed a dim and blurry light to pass through.

From the attic, one could clearly see everything in the hall below, but from the hall looking up at the attic, everything appeared hazy and indistinct.

This realization caused Leng Yu Yan’s trembling heart to settle slightly.

However, Ye Yiheng standing in the hall was looking up, seemingly staring intently at the window, which made her somewhat nervous.

Beneath his eye veil, Ye Yiheng’s handsome eyes narrowed slightly. The window before him was very peculiar—neither like paper nor like an ordinary gauze window. It had a lustrous sheen and seemed to allow light to pass through.

The ceiling of this hall was the Fuhai, with only the southern side being the attic.

And the attic was not made of wood, with windows that looked like they could not be opened.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Such design inevitably made him feel like someone was behind it.

Thinking this, Ye Yiheng gestured towards the attic again, signaling Jian Lecheng to make further inquiries.

Jian Lecheng furrowed his brows and, speaking for the Crown Prince, asked, “This attic is quite peculiar, why is it constructed in such a place?”

Chun Liu thought to herself, it seems the Pavilion Master has met his match.

The companion of the blind Crown Prince not only noticed the nuances in the paintings but had also discovered the oddity of the attic.

Gathering her thoughts, Chun Liu smiled gently and said, “The attic here is constructed due to feng shui reasons. It ensures that the people of Linqing Pavilion thrive and the place remains spiritually vibrant, after all, this is the main hall of the Linqing Pavilion.”

Ye Yiheng raised his eyebrow slightly, “May we have the permission to take a look?”

Inside the attic, Leng Yu Yan’s heart rate picked up again. Seeing Xia Tao approach, she quickly gave instructions in a soft voice, “Go and fetch the herbs I collected earlier for treating eye ailments…”

Xia Tao, understanding the hint, immediately descended from the attic.

Chun Liu apologetically smiled, “I’m sorry, but the attic is filled with treasures collected by the Pavilion Master during his travels, and I’m afraid it’s not suitable for esteemed guests to go up there.”

The implication was clear: there were precious items upstairs, and should he go up and something went missing, they’d be unable to explain it.

Ye Yiheng frowned in contemplation. If there truly were treasures, why would they openly disclose it?

Aren’t treasures usually concealed in secrecy?

Jian Lecheng asked with a puzzled smile, “What kind of treasures are so valuable?”

Chun Liu smiled along, “Actually, they’re nothing too remarkable, but they are treasures to our Pavilion Master, like the strange rocks or curiosities discovered during his travels.”

Jian Lecheng waved his folding fan, “I see.”

Ye Yiheng smiled slightly, “Your Pavilion Master certainly has a wide range of interests.”

“Thank you for the compliment!”

As soon as Chun Liu finished speaking, Xia Tao came up carrying several packages of medicinal herbs, smiling as she approached Ruofeng.

“A few days ago, when the Pavilion Master returned and heard we were seeking medical attention for someone with an eye ailment, he was moved by your loyalty and personally went up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs for eye diseases.”

“Seeing this gentleman covered with an eye veil, he must be your master. Therefore, in accordance with the Pavilion Master’s instructions, I shall pass on the message.” Xia Tao handed the herbs to Ruofeng, “These herbs should be taken at three grams daily, decocted in hot water, and consumed once each night before sleeping, which can improve eyesight.”

Hearing this, Ruofeng joyfully accepted the herbs and asked, “Can it truly cure my master’s… my master’s eye disease?”

Xia Tao smiled and shook her head, “Not quite. The Pavilion Master said that these herbs can improve eyesight and have a certain therapeutic effect on your master. But for a full recovery, the Pavilion Master would need to examine him personally and prescribe treatment accordingly. Moreover, not all eye diseases can be cured.”

Upon learning about the medicinal herbs, Ye Yiheng was quite surprised; he wasn’t concerned whether they could cure his eyes or not, but at least the trip to Linqing Pavilion had some gains.

He also voiced his curiosity, “These herbs are for improving eyesight, but what if they don’t suit the condition, how should we deal with the outcome?”

Xia Tao answered, “What this gentleman may not know is that this medicine can be taken even by those with normal vision. For those with eye diseases, taking this medicine can relieve discomfort around the eyes.”

Hearing this, Jian Lecheng couldn’t help but nod and say, “If it’s really as effective as you say, then it’s better than the eye poultice provided by the Imperial Physicians… at the medical clinics.”

Xia Tao gave a proud smile, “The medicinal herbs personally picked by our Pavilion Master are incomparably precious.”

At this time, Chun Liu solemnly added, “The consultation fee of ten thousand gold that Ruofeng previously mentioned has not been given yet, and our Pavilion Master has already picked the medicine. This is the sincerity of our Linqing Pavilion.”

“Take this medicine back with you, and feel free to let other clinics examine it; once assured of its safety, you may then use it,” Xia Tao raised her hand, in a gesture indicating that it was time for visitors to leave, “As for the consultation fee, let’s not discuss it for now.”

The Pavilion Master, who previously couldn’t be seen for ten thousand gold, was now saying the consultation fee could wait, which made Jian Lecheng a bit uneasy, so he asked, “For such generosity, what is your motive?”

Up in the loft, Leng Yu Yan furrowed her brows even more tightly—the intent was for you all to quickly get out of Linqing Pavilion!

Chun Liu spoke in a calm voice, “If the medicine proves useful and you wish to completely cure the eye disease, you will surely seek the Pavilion Master again. We will settle everything at that time.”

Ye Yiheng moved his fingers slightly, took the medicinal herbs that Ruofeng was holding by a corner, and smelled them. The mere fragrance was refreshing, suggesting some effectiveness.

With a meaningful glance at the shell window of the loft, he addressed Ruofeng and the others, “If that’s the case, let’s leave the mountain.”

The Crown Prince and his entourage promptly exited the main hall of Linqing Pavilion.

On the way, Song Guo asked in a lowered voice, “Your Highness, if you suspect something about the loft, why not go up and take a look?”

“People say the Divine Doctor first assesses if there is a connection through the eyes; perhaps the time is not yet ripe for such a connection between me and the Divine Doctor.”

Ye Yiheng’s lips curved into a slight smile.

For some reason, after having received the medicine, his mood inexplicably improved!

Jian Lecheng opportune asked, “Does Your Highness mean the Divine Doctor is hiding in the loft?”

“It’s a possibility.”

Ye Yiheng smiled lightly, aware that if he had really gone up there, the person would have found a way to escape.

Jian Lecheng nodded, “If the Divine Doctor is indeed hiding there, I think his purpose is to see if we are truly sincere in seeking medical help. Now that he has not requested the consultation fee, it seems that the connection through the eyes is perhaps established.”

Song Guo looked at the several packets of medicinal herbs and murmured, “A dose of three grams each time, these packets can last a long while.”

“Your Highness, I’ve weighed the medicinal herbs, and these packets are roughly three kilograms in total. With a dose of three grams each time, that’s enough for one hundred days,” he said, and then asked, “Does the Divine Doctor intend for Your Highness to return after a hundred days?”

Such a long time indeed.

Ye Yiheng spoke indifferently, “The eye disease has troubled for many years; what are a hundred more days?”

The group continued analyzing as they descended the mountain.

Leng Yu Yan let out a long sigh before finally leaving the loft.

The Crown Prince, not insisting on a visit to the loft and also not demanding to stay overnight at Linqing Pavilion, gradually eased her anxious heart.

However, since they were heading down the mountain and it was getting dark, she and Miao Zhu decided not to leave today.

They would set off for the border after the Crown Prince and his party had left the domain of Linqing Pavilion.

In Beilan City, Prince Zhenbei Mansion.

Princess Consort Yun’s illness was growing worse, and she often spoke nonsense, which deeply worried Lai Ran.

He summoned his eldest son, Li Yuyue, to the study to discuss the matter.

The girl who looked very much like Mian’er was studying at the Imperial College and likely didn’t have time to travel to the border. Besides, being a young lady, her family would surely not agree to such a journey.
