Chapter 007: Doubt
The arrangement of the room is extremely simple, making it clear that the owner prefers minimalism. Dongfang Ningxin, under the guidance of Shihu, did not dare to look around too much and went straight to the bed of Xue Tian'ao. Looking at this proud, arrogant, and self-conceited man, who was lying there with a dark expression, motionless, Dongfang Ningxin suddenly felt an impulse to laugh. Could this be considered the saying "thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west bank"?
"Princess, if you can cure the poison afflicting the prince, then you should understand how your status in the royal residence will change thereafter. If you are unable to save the prince, you should also be aware of your fate..." Looking at Dongfang Ningxin, who was standing in a daze by the bed, Shi Hu cast a doubtful glance at the steward, uncertain whether this woman truly possessed medical skills.
I understand, "Dongfang Ningxin said these three words heavily. ... It means that by resolving the poison of Xue Tian'ao, she becomes someone who has a debt of gratitude to the Xue Prince's residence. If Xue Tian'ao dies, she would have no reason to live ...? ... What does this mean? Has the phoenix that fell to the ground turned into a crow? Xue Tian'ao can bully her at will, and even the guards around Xue Tian'ao can threaten her without restraint?
Princess, please!" Shi Hu set aside his difficulties and immediately opened the door to Xue Tian'ao's room, allowing Dongfang Ningxin to enter
However, Dongfang Ningxin did not dare to laugh. In front of him, Xue Tian Ao stood proudly, even in a state of poisoning and unconsciousness, the arrogance in his brows and eyes remained undiminished, and the people of the Wangfu continued to revolve around him
"Stone Guard, Miss Ningxin is skilled in medicine and her medical skills are excellent. You should let her give it a try; saving the prince is of utmost importance," the steward said rapidly, not caring whether Dongfang Ningxin was willing to help or not.
"Butler, why did you bring the princess here when the prince is poisoned and unconscious?" A man in black attire blocked the entrance to the snowy courtyard, which made Dongfang Ningxin's mind become clear.
The bitterness of Dongfang Ningxin may only be understood by herself. If it were not for the burden of her appearance, she too would have become a renowned and talented woman like her mother. Unfortunately, everything has changed
Originally, I did not want to go in, but... She now seems to have no room for refusal, so I boldly walked in. Dongfang Ningxin had no choice but to treat a dead horse as if it were alive.
Dongfang Ningxin turned to leave, but the butler firmly held her back. At that moment, it was truly unclear where the old man found such strength. In any case, Dongfang Ningxin could not move forward.
"Princess, do you possess medical skills?" The guard, known as Shi Hu, a man in black standing before her, was the personal bodyguard of Xue Tian'ao. He held no disdain for Dongfang Ningxin; his strong sense of master-servant hierarchy led him to believe that since Dongfang Ningxin married the prince, she was the princess, regardless of respect or lack thereof
My mother is a renowned and illustrious talented woman, so it is not surprising that I possess medical skills; I was raised single-handedly by my mother
At this thought, Dongfang Ningxin no longer felt conflicted. Perhaps she could seize this opportunity to save Xue Tian'ao, allowing herself to live a peaceful life in the Snow Prince's residence in her later years. If all else fails, Xue Tian'ao might treat her a little better out of gratitude for saving his life. Unfortunately, at this moment, Dongfang Ningxin was thinking too simplistically about everything.
Dongfang Ningxin lightly curled her lips into a bitter smile, which made the contrast between the ugliness of her right face and the beauty of her left face even more pronounced, but she no longer cared about it
Indeed, I actually forgot that the princess's mother is a legendary woman, so... Shihu felt somewhat troubled; the prince had a strong aversion to this princess, but the prince's poison, alas, it doesn't matter, let's save the person first and talk later
"I am sorry, I have gone to the wrong place." Turning around, she left with a hint of indifference. Dongfang Ningxin did not wish to involve herself with Xue Tian'ao. At the moment she reached the door, she recalled the embarrassment of being ordered by him to be sent to the stable
Moreover, she does not wish for Xue Tian Ao to die either; as long as Xue Tian Ao is alive, she is at least the Princess Consort of Xue. But if Xue Tian Ao were to die, what would she become? It seems that her fate is once again beyond her control.
