The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 176 Ye Jiuchen's Mother is Not Dead

"Cough cough, water..." Ye Jiuchen felt an unbearable pain in his throat, and for some reason, it felt as if he had been asleep for a long time.

"Master is awake!" An Ye quickly ran over and helped Ye Jiuchen up.

The divine doctor Dan quickly brought over a glass of water!

"Little Jiu Zi, you've finally woken up. If anything happens to you, how can I face your mother after I die!"

Ye Jiuchen rolled his eyes at the Divine Doctor Dan, took the water, and slowly drank it. He thought to himself, "This Divine Doctor Dan is still the same as ever, he hasn't changed at all."

"My mother won't blame you!" Ye Jiuchen said something kind, a rare occurrence, after finishing his water.

"Hahaha, you don't need to say it!" Doctor Dan said smugly, seemingly unconcerned about Ye Jiuchen's evaluation.

"Dark Night, what's wrong with me?" Ye Jiuchen frowned and asked in confusion. He really couldn't remember why he was lying in bed, nor did he know what Ye Jiuchen had done in this life.

"Master, don't you remember?" Dark Night asked cautiously.

"Speak!" Ye Jiuchen said in a deep voice, his tone carrying a hint of authority.

An Ye suddenly shuddered. Good heavens, what was he doing just now? The master is still the master. Spending so much time with the princess has made him a little lazy.

“Yes…” Dark Night immediately put away his lazy expression and recounted the whole story with a serious face.

After listening, Ye Jiuchen sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. So that's how it is; he understood everything.

"I understand!" Ye Jiuchen sighed, his tone revealing a hint of weariness.

In his past life, Ye Jiuchen felt his consciousness growing increasingly blurred, as if he might disappear at any moment. He realized that his time was running out, and worse, he had actually suffered a qi deviation, which made him extremely uneasy.

He knew that he and Ye Jiuchen in this life could not coexist for long, or the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, he decided to take action to protect Ye Jiuchen in this life.

"Little Jiu, can't you take care of your health? You may not care, but someone else will! Do you know that Wan'er has read countless medical books and ancient texts for you? She even fainted from exhaustion while trying to help you clear your meridians and regulate your internal energy..."

"What? Wan'er fainted?" Ye Jiuchen's eyes widened, a surge of intense worry and self-reproach welling up inside him. He hadn't realized how much Dongfang Wan'er had sacrificed for him, and he had been completely unaware of it.

He jumped out of bed and said urgently, "An Ye, quick, take me to see her!" He was extremely anxious and completely disregarded his physical condition, only wanting to see Dongfang Wan'er immediately.

"Yes, Master, you've only just woken up... slow down..."

An Ye carefully helped Ye Jiu Chen out of the room.

"Did you remember everything I said about Xiao Jiuzi?"

The divine doctor was still rambling on when he suddenly turned around and found that the room was empty.

"Ah... Little Jiu... Where is he? Where did he go!"

"Dan Shenyi roared in exasperation."

"An Ye, hurry up..." Ye Jiu Chen was being supported by An Ye, but he felt that An Ye was in his way and pushed him away impatiently.

"Dark Night, which room are you in? I'll go there myself..."

"In the room you specially prepared for the princess..."

Before An Ye could finish speaking, Ye Jiu Chen vanished without a trace, like a gust of wind.

"Master, you've just recovered..."

An Ye hurriedly gave chase.

Ye Jiuchen pushed open the door and strode to the bedside. He saw that Dongfang Wan'er's face was as pale as snow, her eyes were closed, and she was unconscious.

Ye Jiuchen tenderly stroked her cheek and softly called her name.

"Wan'er, it's all my fault!"

Ye Jiuchen was filled with remorse!

At that moment, a steady footstep sounded outside the door, and An Ye hurriedly arrived with the Divine Physician Dan.

The divine physician Dan entered the room and said solemnly, "Wan'er fainted because of overwork and deficiency of qi and blood. She will naturally recover after a period of rest."

Upon hearing this, the heavy weight in Ye Jiuchen's heart finally lifted.

"It's good that she's alright!" Ye Jiuchen murmured to himself, his eyes shining with relief.

However, at that moment, he suddenly noticed a distinct red mark on Dongfang Wan'er's neck.

Ye Jiuchen's face instantly darkened, and he asked in a low, angry voice, "What happened? Who hurt Wan'er?"

His eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent, as if they were about to erupt at any moment.

Everyone remained silent, the atmosphere so tense it was suffocating. Only Doctor Dan continued to speak, trying to ease the tension.

"I think the injury on Wan'er's neck looks like she was strangled, Xiao Jiuzi, take a look." He pointed to the red mark with good intentions, hoping to calm Ye Jiuchen down.

Ye Jiuchen stared wide-eyed at the wound, his anger growing ever stronger.

"Dark Night, is this how you protect Wan'er?" Ye Jiuchen's voice was icy cold, as if it could freeze the entire room.

An Ye knelt on the ground, head bowed in confession, not daring to look up and meet Ye Jiu Chen's gaze. "This subordinate knows his crime, please punish me, Master." His tone was full of remorse and self-reproach.

Qiuqin couldn't stand it any longer, so she stepped forward!

"Young Master, what right do you have to punish An Ye? What did An Ye do wrong? The injury on Miss's neck was caused by you strangling her. You were in a state of demonic possession when you did it!"

"Qiuqin!" An Ye tried to stop her, but it was too late!

"I pinched him!" Ye Jiuchen's voice was deep.

"I understand. You may all leave. I will take care of Wan'er!" Ye Jiuchen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"Master, you've only just woken up!" An Ye was very worried about Ye Jiuchen's physical condition, and at the same time, he was uneasy about Ye Jiuchen's unusual calmness.

"Dark Night, I said, all of you get out, don't you understand!" Ye Jiuchen's tone became stern, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Yes." An Ye nodded helplessly, then pulled Qiu Qin and quickly left the room.

"Um, well, Little Jiu, I'll be leaving now."

Doctor Dan hurriedly left the room, closing the door tightly behind him.

Outside the door, Qiuqin asked with a puzzled look, "An Ye, why did you drag me out? I still have so much to say to the young master. It was clearly the young master who pinched the young lady, why are you keeping it from him?"

Dark Night sighed helplessly, "Qiuqin, stop talking..."

At this moment, Doctor Dan came out of the room, and An Ye nodded to Qiu Qin.

Qiuqin noticed that the two looked a little strange and asked curiously, "Is there something going on?"

Dark Night said softly, "Dark Night boy, you should tell her."

However, An Ye declined, saying, "This subordinate dares not discuss the master's affairs casually. Doctor Dan, please speak."

Seeing the two of them passing the buck, Qiuqin impatiently urged, "What is it, anyway?"

After looking around to make sure no one was there, Doctor Dan said seriously to Qiu Qin, "Alright, I'll tell you then, but you absolutely must not let your young lady know about this."

"Dr. Dan, don't worry, I promise I won't tell my young lady. Just tell her, I'm so anxious!" Qiu Qin said anxiously.

"Alright, I'll tell you the story then!" Doctor Dan sighed helplessly.

Then, Doctor Dan began to explain the reason for the matter to Qiuqin.

It turns out that Ye Jiuchen's mother left when he was young, because he strangled her when he went into a state of demonic possession... This plunged Ye Jiuchen into deep self-blame and pain.

However, Ye Jiuchen's mother was unwilling to see her child harmed, so she used all her strength to set up a formation on Ye Jiuchen, but at the same time, she fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion of her inner strength.

Ye Jiuchen's father was powerless to help, and was immersed in his longing for his wife all day long, eventually passing away at a young age.

Ye Jiuchen thus developed a strong hatred for himself...

"So that's how it is! The poor son-in-law!" Qiuqin couldn't help but sigh after hearing the story.

Dark Night nodded silently in agreement.

"So, the son-in-law's mother didn't die, and the formation on the son-in-law was actually set up by his mother herself! So what exactly is the purpose of this formation?" Qiuqin asked a series of questions like a curious child.
