Chu Qianli was indeed holding Ye Qingying, because Ye Qingying had gone berserk.
When Feng Yexuan entered, she had just sealed the major acupoints on Ye Qingying's back with silver needles.
Ye Qingying had calmed down, but her posture made it seem as if she was embracing him.
Feng Yexuan misunderstood and left angrily. She wanted to chase after him, but how could she with her master in this state?
"Miss, the hot water is ready." Yu Xing had just gone to fetch water and didn't know what had happened.
Chu Qianli released Ye Qingying and, together with Yu Xing, supported him.
"Master, how do you feel?"
Ye Qingying frowned, and it took him a while for his consciousness to return.
"What... did I just do?" He didn't know if he was dreaming or what. He seemed to have acted.
Chu Qianli turned and glanced at Yu Xing.
Half of Yu Xing's face was still swollen.
"You hit someone, look, you beat him like this!" Chu Qianli pointed at Yu Xing's face.
Ye Qingying was immediately filled with guilt. "I'm sorry, I... didn't know."
"If you knew you would hit him like this, you would truly have no conscience."
Chu Qianli helped him lean against the headboard, saying with some helplessness, "During this period, you recuperated in the prince's manor, and Yu Xing took care of you. He was more dedicated than any doctor, you know?"
Ye Qingying looked at Yu Xing.
Seeing the swollen patch on his fair face, his mood was somewhat complicated.
He wanted to apologize, but for two grown men, saying it once was enough.
Saying sorry couldn't solve any problems, and saying it too much was meaningless.
"In the future, if there's anything I can do for you, I will not shirk my duty."
Yu Xing sighed lightly, "That's if you can get rid of the蛊毒 (gu poison) on your body first."
Ye Qingying remained silent.
As long as this 蛊毒 (gu poison) was not removed, he was a dangerous person to them.
In fact, he really shouldn't have stayed here.
"Xiao Yao, I think I saw the Xuan Prince just now."
Although he was hazy and couldn't see clearly, he could sense the Xuan Prince's aura even with his eyes closed.
"Have you forgotten what you just did?" Yu Xing asked, then realized he had asked a redundant question.
He had gone berserk, how could he remember?
"I just..."
"You didn't do anything!" Chu Qianli interrupted their conversation. She said, "Master, please extend your hand. I'll help you remove the toxin."
Ye Qingying obeyed and extended his palm.
Chu Qianli took out silver needles and pricked his fingertips.
Unexpectedly, her hand trembled on one needle, and it grazed his fingertip.
"Your mind is unsettled. You should go chase the Xuan Prince first." Ye Qingying understood her well.
"It's fine."
"Girl, are you not listening to your master anymore?" If it were truly fine, why would she be so absent-minded?
She was never like this when treating patients.
It was clear that he had done something earlier that had made the Xuan Prince very angry.
"I'll draw some blood first." Chu Qianli collected her thoughts and continued her work.
Drawing blood to expel toxins, although not very effective and only treating the symptoms, would at least make him slightly more comfortable for the next two days.
As long as no one activated the 蛊毒 (gu poison), he should be fine for the time being.
"Yu Xing, tell Jin Rui to have people guard the surroundings of the prince's manor, prevent suspicious individuals from approaching, and stop them from playing flutes nearby."
"Alright."
Yu Xing turned and left immediately.
To his surprise, when he returned, only Ye Qingying was left in the room.
Even more surprisingly, Ye Qingying was about to leave.
