The scalpel under the shadowless lamp was still hanging in the air. When Su Yao opened her eyes again, she had become the abandoned daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace of Chu, whose engagement was broken off by the prince and became a laughing stock.
The mourning hall was cold and silent. She clutched half of the jade pendant left by the original owner. Listening to the hypocritical cry of her stepmother outside the door, her fingertips felt cold - this body had clearly been chronically poisoned.
The man I met while collecting medicine outside the city was covered in blood, and his black brocade robe was soaked in dark red. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were colder than a knife tempered with ice. She was a doctor with a kind heart, but she didn't know that this rescue would actually offend the most unprovoked person in the capital.
He said: "My king's life is yours, and you, of course, are also my king's."
He cleared the way for her, but he also knocked on her window late at night, rubbed the pulse in her wrist with his fingertips, and said in a paranoid tone: "Stay away from those imperial doctors. Your medical skills can only be used by me."
The epidemic was rampant, but she relied on modern medical skills to turn the tide, but was accused of treason. The court was treacherous, and he was willing to make enemies of all the officials to protect her. The possessiveness in his eyes frightened her.
When she touched the secret letter that read "Death of Liu" under his pillow, she was shocked to realize that the truth about her time travel was hidden in the gentleness of this sickly prince.
And when he looked at her trembling hands as she opened the letter, he suddenly smiled, his eyes filled with paranoia that was so thick that he couldn't get rid of it: "Now, you can't leave."
Is she saving a life, or is it an entanglement that will never be restored?
Is he giving love, or is he a shackle that can't fly?
The half of the jade pendant was hot, reflecting the increasingly turbulent bloody plot behind the two of them.
