Villain Lady - Chapter 310

“You have that brat.”

“He still need a lot of polishing.”

“Along with so many others that I prefer not to mention here,” Prince Ji Sheng added. He pointed to the nearby restaurant with his chin. “We should talk more there. I’ll listen to your request.”

The man arched his eyebrows. “Are you sure it’s not the other way around?”

“You won’t listen if it’s about doing me a favor.”

“True enough.”

…

While Prince Ji Sheng and the man was having a talk, Wei Liuying rushed to the residence and jumped off her horse when she had arrived. The guards were stunned, but before they could react, Wei Liuying had already charged inside. Their martial arts were not that bad, but they didn’t manage to react in time because they were contemplating what they were supposed to do.

“That’s… Strategist Liu, right?”

“It should be fine if we let him pass, right?”

The guards looked at each other and chose to let it be. There were already countless times in the past when Strategist Liu and Strategist Yang came to Prince Ji Sheng’s Residence. Usually, there was no need for them to even asked for permission from Prince Ji Sheng because the two of them came to bring news from war most of the time.

It was not report this time, but they chose to just let it pass.

Bang!

“Hey, didn’t I tell anyone to not disturb… Oh? It’s you, Liu Ying?” Shi Lu Wen was wiping her hand on a piece of cloth. She looked at the door and smiled bitterly. “You come so quickly.

Wei Liuying arched her eyebrows. Prince Ji Sheng told them that they were late, but why Shi Lu Wen said that she was too quick. She would address this matter later. “Where’s Xian?”

“He’s sleeping. I give him some medicine after addressing his wound,” Shi Lu Wen replied. “Don’t worry, it’s not life threatening.”

“Oh…”

Wei Liuying was calmer when she heard that, but she still strode inside. When she saw Yang Xian lying on the bed with some bandages near his neck and chest, her blood felt cold again. The clothes he wore made it hard for her to see the wound, but because the clothes were not worn properly, the upper part was a bit open.

“What kind of wound?”

“It’s an arrow sticking on his back. There’s also poison mixed in and based on what Prince Ji Sheng say, the one who shoot him should be Prince Ji Shu,” Shi Lu Wen explained. There were only limited number of poison circulating in the capital city. This type of poison was quite deadly and Prince Ji Sheng knew only Prince Ji Shu had it in the capital city.

“Will he recover in time?”

“For battle?”

“Yes.”

Shi Lu Wen nodded. “He’ll be alright. Before he reached here, he had already treated the wound with the soldier’s help. I only helped to dress it again and fed him some antidotes. However, I wouldn’t recommend him to fight at the frontline in this condition.”

“But you will allow him to participate?” Wei Liuying asked.

“Even if I say no, I doubt he’ll listen,” Shi Lu Wen said with a bitter smile. Based on her experience, some of them would need to be one foot at their grave before they could be stopped from going to an important war. Unfortunately, Yang Xian was included in that number.

Wei Liuying nodded. “That’s true.”

“You can wait for him here. He should be able to wake up before dinner’s time. However, you have to remind him to not stress his body, or he would only worsen his condition.”

“I’ll keep it in mind.” Wei Liuying noticed Shi Lu Wen packing her belongings. “Do you want to go somewhere?”

“Shan Ge will not allow me to stay in the same room with a man for a long time,” Shi Lu Wen said helplessly.

Wei Liuying blinked her eyes. Now that she thought about it, Shi Lu Wen and Shan Yi had gotten closer over the past year, right? After the incident in the temple, Shan Yi often spent his time around Shi Lu Wen to the point that she wondered if he had any other work. It seemed that by now, the two of them had already gotten used to each other’s presence and probably even closer than that.

She hoped that Shi Yan was aware of this or he might be surprised when his sister told him that she wanted to leave in the future.

“I see.”

“Don’t worry. If you need anything, I’m still in this residence. Please excuse me now, Strategist Liu.”

Shi Lu Wen walked to the door and turned her head around once more. She could see Wei Liuying was sitting on the edge of the bed while looking at Yang Xian’s face. From this direction, she couldn’t see her expression, but she could guess.

Not wanting to interrupt them, Shi Lu Wen walked out and stretched her body. She might like treating patient, but having to sit for a long time was still tiring for her. There were several more books that she needed to read if she wished to deepen her knowledge in medical field.

“Have you finished?” Shan Yi asked. His head poked out from the roof.

Shi Lu Wen furrowed her brows. “Can’t you find a better way to walk around? It’s weird to see you hanging upside down like that.”

“Sorry. My bad.”

Shan Yi jumped down and landed in front of Shi Lu Wen. He smiled faintly. “I guess his condition is not that bad?”

“For now, but he might need more dose of antidotes. His immunity is already good enough because of his past, but it’s better not to take chances,” Shi Lu Wen explained. She then looked at Shan Yi with accusing look. “Before that, why don’t you warn me that Wei Liuying had returned? I’m surprised when the door was opened so loudly like that!”

Shan Yi laughed drily. “It’s only Wei Liuying and not a stranger. Besides, you know that the two of them are close with each other, so I don’t think there’s any need to stop her.”
