The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer

Chapter 1399 - 1483: She Made Her Decision Long Ago

Prince Meng observed Ji Jiuhuang gazing at Dong Huiying, but her expression grew increasingly dazed. He knew in his heart that she must be reminiscing about past events.

Sighing softly, Prince Meng said to Ji Jiuhuang, "Ninth Sister, the Marshal said he could cure your illness. I think whether you want to be treated or not should be your own decision."

"My decision?" Ji Jiuhuang looked puzzled, but then saw the expression on Prince Meng’s face and understood. After experiencing so many upheavals, Sixth Sister could no longer easily trust anyone.

Ji Jiuhuang smiled faintly, "I made my decision long ago."

She looked at Dong Huiying, "Last time, when I was conscious, she was the one asleep. I wasn’t sure whether that old nun was really Baowei, and even Yun Ge, when she was in slumber, her identity was hard to determine. After all, she had changed so much."

"Do you remember the way I acted back then? I could sense she was having a Resurgence. I also knew my blood would be useful for her, but I deliberately acted that way as a hint."

"If she isn’t Baowei, it’s of no consequence to me. But if she is... she has saved me hundreds of times, and once she was willing to forgo her own life for me. For her, I am willing to sacrifice once, too. I’m content with that."

"I trust her, whether or not she can heal me. Even if it truly means death, it’s fine."

Prince Meng was momentarily speechless, unsure of how to respond.

Dong Huiying gazed at the woman who was so straightforward with her, finally unraveling the mystery that had weighed on her mind for so long.

She had once wondered why Ji Jiuhuang acted so strangely during her conscious moments. Although she was asleep at the time, all of Ji Jiuhuang’s reactions were related to her through Yun Ge’s words.

Truth be told, she hadn’t been very concerned about Ji Jiuhuang’s affairs before. Even coming to the capital was just to help Ji Jiuhuang regain consciousness to control the Eighth Princess and fend off the formidable enemy, Dajin, a purely selfish motive.

Prince Meng once said, people can change. She agreed with this view.

People can change. The other was a Princess and regardless of how deep their past bond, if she truly wanted to abandon those ties, it wasn’t impossible.

By contrast, Ji Jiuhuang’s attitude towards Yun Ge was more indifferent and aloof than it was during their reunion.

But now everything was clear.

At the time, she couldn’t verify her own identity, but her silence expressed her stance.

The Medicine Gu within her would have a great reaction when facing an Ancestors Resurgence. Such a reaction, if she were in a conscious state, she could certainly withstand, could suppress, and would show no trace of it. How did Dong Huiying know? Growing up in the Imperial Palace that could swallow you whole, she was certain this person lacked no cunning or tact.

Moreover, Ji Jiuhuang was even prepared for death if it meant curing her own Resurgence. Even if it required sacrificing all her Phoenix Blood, she would do so willingly.

This feeling, one cannot say it isn’t profound!

Dong Huiying couldn’t help but glance at Fourth Husband Haoming, thinking, there’s no need for doubt, because there are indeed such people in this world. They seem distant and unmoved, perhaps even cold on the surface, but within, they hold the deepest feelings.

Retracting her gaze, she looked again at Ji Jiuhuang, her smile, no longer a cool formality, had grown much more genuine.

"For you to trust me with your life, that is your trust in me, a trust that I must not betray."
