Chapter 1795: Chapter 1792: Explanation

He couldn’t hold back in the end, lifted his head to look at her, and saw Ye Muyu had no intention of paying him any attention, feeling a bit anxious.

“I was wrong, sis, really, I was wrong, don’t be mad,” Lu Sangqi’s voice was small, tinged with embarrassment.

Ye Muyu raised an eyebrow: “Say it again.”

“…” Lu Sangqi’s cheeks reddened, initially annoyed that Ye Muyu knowingly exposed his concealed illness, but now that Ye Muyu was truly ignoring him, he became flustered; as for embarrassment, it couldn’t outweigh the importance of the people around him.

“Sis, I was wrong, really.” Lu Sangqi was so ashamed that his ears turned red, yet he honestly admitted his mistake.

Ye Muyu put down the book in her hand, looked up at him, and smiled: “You call me sis, yet still hide the illness? Besides, do you think I don’t know you?”

“However, I need to be honest with you. I instructed Ah Heng to have Physician-in-Chief Lu treat you; you don’t need to overthink it. I guessed you definitely wouldn’t tell the truth, which is why I did this.” Ye Muyu finished speaking, sighed lightly, and asked him, “You’re not angry, are you?”

“No,” Lu Sangqi shook his head, his embarrassed face slowly calming down, and looked at her seriously, “I didn’t mean to deceive you, I just didn’t want you to worry.”

“Actually, the Prince’s Mansion had me stay not only because I couldn’t cure his leg.” Lu Sangqi’s eyebrows lightly furrowed, the look of contemplation clearly indicated there was something going on.

Ye Muyu stopped her action of reading medical books, walked over, and sat down beside him, “Then what’s the reason?”

Lu Sangqi closed his eyes for a moment, knowing that since he’s opened this topic, if he doesn’t answer, Ye Muyu will likely be even more worried. He said, “You might not know, but the Commandery Prince’s leg was initially just a minor injury, but for some reason, it couldn’t heal.”

“I suspect he’s been afflicted by a Gu. The Sacred Girl of Southern Border has been at the Prince’s Mansion all along; if she’s cast a Gu, it wouldn’t be unusual. But what’s really strange is that the Sacred Girl of Southern Border doesn’t appear guilty at all. She even asked me if I needed more books knowing I’ve read many medical books from Southern Border, and even allowed the Witch Doctor she brought along to consult with me on medical skills. It’s just from the medical skill aspect alone that I can make more progress; frank and open, I can feel she truly wants to improve my medical skill.”

“But I still can’t solve the Young Prince’s illness. Most of the Young Prince’s illness involves the issue of Gu insects. The Sacred Girl of Southern Border said she needs to prepare some medicinal herbs, which are yet to be collected, and most are available only in Southern Border.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu pondered for a while and asked, “Do you know which medicinal herbs are needed?”

“I know.” Lu Sangqi quickly listed the names of medicinal herbs. Perhaps Long Princess trusted him initially since he was the one treating the Young Prince’s illness; even when the Sacred Girl of Southern Border entered the mansion to treat the Young Prince, Long Princess was not reassured, so he has always stayed on as Long Princess’s eyes, ensuring the Sacred Girl of Southern Border genuinely intends to treat the Young Prince’s illness.

Therefore, regarding the Young Prince’s condition, he understands it the best.

Upon hearing the mention of Yun Tan, Ye Muyu’s fingers lightly twitched.

“Are these medicinal herbs rather rare?”

“Most can be collected, not really rare, just because they only grow in Southern Border, it takes a bit longer, but among them, there are three herbs that are the rarest: Jade Dome, Huai Flower, and Yun Tan.”

Upon hearing the words Yun Tan, Ye Muyu’s heart skipped a beat.
