The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer

Chapter 1360 - 1440: Progress

Because her blood was precious, Dong Huiying didn’t dare to waste it. She first took some xuan paper and wrote down some of her ideas, then crossed out those guesses that seemed less likely.

She made a summary—

She had taken many medicines,

consumed many poisons,

eaten miraculous fruits giving her great strength,

and also had been poisoned before.

She took a few drops of Ji Jiuhuang’s blood and conducted repeated experiments, during which Yun Ge assisted Dong Huiying, while Haoming stayed close to her side without leaving. When she was busy, he would sit quietly by her side watching her, and whenever she rested, he busied himself pouring tea and water for her, his honest, taciturn demeanor like that of a loyal dog to its master.

He revolved around the one he loved, as if she were the center of his life, his entire world.

"Seeing you two like this, I suddenly feel like getting a husband too," Yun Ge sighed.

Without stopping her movements, Dong Huiying joked while handling herbs, "I remember Fengsu seems interested in you."

"Don’t mention him," she rolled her eyes, "There’s not a single good one in the Ji royal family."

"You’re too biased against him; did he offend you?"

"He..." Her eyes flickered, then she fell silent. Yun Ge tilted her head, looking at her with an expression of sudden realization, "Almost had me talking!"

"It’s just that you’re always so secretive and never tell me anything," she admitted openly.

Yun Ge bit her cheek like she had a toothache.

Dong Huiying glanced at her, "I don’t know what you’re thinking, but the feeling you give me isn’t that you’re indifferent to him. Since one has affection and the other has intent, why close off your heart? Take a step back and the world opens up; some things are not worth holding onto tightly, otherwise, it hurts others and yourself, doesn’t it?"

Yun Ge shook her head, "I only know that what’s happened can’t be erased. Maybe I do like him, have feelings for him, but it’s wrong. We met at the wrong time, and we’re destined to be like this." She was burdened with an unresolved issue; if Fengsu was in danger, she would worry, but otherwise, when life was stable, she would prefer not to see him.

Sometimes she would wonder where he was and if he was doing well. However, in the end, the emotional knot was too heavy to untie.

Yun Ge sighed and then fell silent.

Dong Huiying raised her hand to rub her head, as if to comfort her.

Two days later, their "research" made a major breakthrough.

"Finally got it," Dong Huiying smiled wryly.

Yun Ge frowned, "I still don’t quite understand."

Dong Huiying picked up a sheet of paper, "I used to have a suspicion that my Resurgence was caused by the medicines, poisons, Poisonous Gu, and those fruits I consumed, combining into a completely new latent toxin, but that’s not the case. Ever since coming to the Capital, my aging has slowed significantly, and even when I entered the Prince Mansion, it nearly stopped."

"Those things I consumed did indeed combine into a new toxin, but they didn’t kill me. Instead, they helped me survive at the last moment of my Resurgence." Otherwise, she might have died, aging continuously, passing away naturally.

Yun Ge’s heart skipped a beat, "And now? How do you feel? Ji Jiuhuang’s blood..."
