“Ling Yue moved! Ling Yue moved!” Jiang Ying Long looked up at them in exhilarated joy, his eyes on the group of physicians in the room.
The group of physicians were flabbergasted at that sudden shout from Jiang Ying Long but they recovered quickly and immediately went to take a look at Qu Ling Yue.
Qu Ling Yue who was lying on the bed was showing some colour returning to her complexion at a speed visible to the eye. Her pale and deathly pallor from before had suddenly disappeared without a trace in an instant. Although she was still lying quietly upon the bed, her breaths had strengthened and stabilized, blood returned to her face once more, completely driving away the haggardness she was showing before!
Lei Chen noticed that change that came over Qu Ling Yue and he secretly glanced in Jun Wu Xie’s direction, where he saw in Jun Wu Xie’s eyes asking him to hold his horses for the moment.
“How is that possible! ?” Imperial Physician Li stared in utter disbelief at Qu Ling Lue who was gradually showing improvements to her condition. He rushed immediately to Qu Ling Yue’s bedside and took her pulse. And the pulse that he felt from Qu Ling Yue’s wrist made his face turn an instant pale white.
Qu Ling Yue’s pulse which had been highly erratic and was in chaos had now returned to normal. And from the pulse that he felt, Qu Ling Yue had fully recovered from her the severe injuries she sustained and he could no longer detect a trace of it. The only symptom was one of a high loss of blood and other than that, she was relatively fine.
That pulse, in whichever way you look at it, was not anything like the same person who had seemed like she had been teetering on the verge of life and death!
Imperial Physician Li fell back step in devastation. He stared blankly at his own hand that had just felt the pulse, like his hand must have been completely mistaken in the diagnosis.
Jiang Ying Long was still waiting for Imperial Physician Li to speak and when he saw Imperial Physician Li staring vacantly as he stood on the side, he asked the other physicians to help check Qu Ling Yue’s pulse. The physicians tooks Qu Ling Yue’s pulse one after another and their reactions after taking the pulse were highly similar to Imperial Physician Li’s, each one of them staring wordlessly into empty space.

“Just how is Qu Ling Yue’s condition now?” Jiang Ying Long opened his mouth to ask anxiously.
Imperial Physician Li’s lips were pale and white, not intending to open his mouth in the slightest.
However, a physician standing on one side started to say with a puzzled frown on his face: “Miss Qu’s injuries….. judging from her pulse, seems to have fully recovered, and it is only due to excessive blood loss that she is still unconscious…..”
“What?” Jiang Ying Long’s eyes widened, unable to believe what his ears were hearing.
“Qu Ling Yue is only suffering from excessive loss of blood? But….. but weren’t all of you saying that she had sustained severe injuries?”
The physician’s face was filled with utter incomprehension. “That….. is a fact though. When we came in here and took Miss Qu’s pulse earlier, Miss Qu’s pulse was highly erratic and was still in chaos. But when we took her pulse the second time, we found that her internal injuries had seemed to have recovered. With our decades of experience as physicians, such a strange occurrence of a patient’s pulse is the first for me.”
A person teetering precariously on the edge of life and death had suddenly turned to become no different from normal in the next instant. If this was told to any other person outside, it would surely not be easily believed.
Jiang Ying Long was stunned into silence a moment, before suddenly remembering Jun Wu Xie’s actions. He immediately rushed to go right before Jun Wu Xie and said hurriedly: “Miss Jun, is it your Heart Coagulation Elixir?”
Jun Wu Xie nodded calmly.
“The Heart Coagulation Elixir is just a common elixir. How could it possibly disperse such severe injuries that Miss Qu had sustained?” The bunch of highly confused physicians immediately raised their doubts to make it known.
“But it is really strange, how is it right after Miss Qu is given the Heart Coagulation Elixir, her injuries immediately showed signs of improvements?”
The bunch of physicians immediately debated furiously on the exceptional circumstances and even after debating on it for a long while, they were still not able to arrive any closer to a conclusion. The situation was afterall really one they had never even heard of before, much less encountered it.
Imperial Physician Li secretly observed Jun Wu Xie and then turned to look at Lei Chen whose face was showing a gradually growing smile. He gritted his teeth in annoyance and suddenly said: “Whether is it due to the Heart Coagulation Elixir is still not known. Afterall, there are so many of us here who had toiled and worked on it for quite a long period and have fed Miss Qu a lot of different elixirs and herbal concoctions. Those earlier medicines given might have just taken effect and we cannot say the improvements to Miss Qu’s condition is due to Miss Jun’s actions.”
The smile that had just surfaced on Lei Chen’s face was suddenly suppressed by Imperial Physician Li’s words.
Jun Wu Xie was however completely unconcerned and was not intending to bother herself with Imperial Physician Li at all. She turned to Jiang Ying Long and went on to say: “Miss Qu will still require a little more nursing and I should think that such an easy task will be well taken care of with so many physicians present. I shall be taking my leave then.”
With that said, Jun Wu Xie immediately turned and left.
Jiang Ying Long had actually wanted Jun Wu Xie to stay a moment longer for him to ask a little more about the situation but Jun Wu Xie had been quick and curt with her departure, leaving him no opportunity to even open his mouth to ask.
Lei Chen followed right behind in exit. When the two of them stepped out through the inn’s main doors and climbed up into the horse carriage that belonged to the Crown Prince’s Residence, Lei Chen finally allowed the emotions he had been having a hard time holding in explode out. “Miss Jun. I had been blind and completely underestimated you. I really had not thought that Miss Jun’s skills in Medicine was of such an exemplary level. If I have shown you any disrespect earlier, i will beg that Miss Jun does not hold it against it.”
“Truth be told, Miss Jun’s earlier air of nonchalance with your actions, had completely showed up that whole bunch of physicians there. As I was leaving, I had distinctly seen the look on Jiang Ying Long’s face that told me he had wanted you to stay longer, and that ashen and livid expression on Imperial Physician Li’s face had been satisfying to see.”
“It’s still not time to be too happy about it.” Jun Wu Xie said as her gaze turned to look out the window.
“What do you mean?” Lei Chen was slightly taken aback.
But Jun Wu Xie was not in the mood to say anything further.

Chapter 855 : “Prison Visit (1)”
When the horse carriage reached the Crown Prince’s Residence, Jun Wu Xie left together with Qiao Chu who had remained behind to wait, refusing Lei Chen’s invitation to have them stay for dinner.
Jun Wu Xie returned with Qiao Chu back to the Immortals’ Loft where Fan Zhuo and the others had been waiting for a long time.
“How was it?” Fan Zhuo very naturally poured out a cup of warm water, and brought it before Jun Wu Xie.
“There is more in it than meets the eye in this matter.” Jun Wu Xie said, accepting the proffered cup of water to moisten her throat.
“Have you noticed anything from it?” Fan Zhuo had complete confidence in Jun Wu Xie’s medical skills as he himself had been a patient of hers.
Jun Wu Xie nodded, but did not show any intentions of further elaborating on it.
“I’ll switch back with Brother Hua tonight and if there is any news on Qu Ling Yue’s condition from here on, just go there and inform me about it.” Jun Wu Xi
e paused a moment, and then said to Fei Yan: “The next time you go investigate into Qu Ling Yue, remember to check whether there is a bruise behind her ears.”
Although Fei Yan did not fully understand what Jun Wu Xie meant, he nevertheless nodded his head without question.
That night, Jun Wu Xie went back to her prison cell to switch places with Brother Hua and not long after they had switched, a rather special visitor arrived at the prison.
“Jun Xie!” The youth’s clear voice sounded exceptionally loud in the quiet prison so late in the night.
Jun Wu Xie looked up slowly from within her cell and saw the Fourth Prince, Lei Fan, dressed in a lavish brocade suit standing outside her cell.
In the end, he had come just as expected.
Jun Wu Xie laughed to herself within but nothing showed outwardly in the least.
“For what reason had Your Highness come here?” Jun Wu Xie asked, her tone expressionless, her clear cold eyes not a ripple in them.
“Jun Xie, you must have suffered being in here. I heard my Father mention about you and got to know that you had been imprisoned here. I then tried seeking all ways and means to come see you, knowing that you are not that kind of a person. You will never strike so viciously at a woman and I was thinking it must have been unintentional.” Lei Fan said, standing outside the cell, looking worriedly at Jun Xie, his attractive eyes looking thick with worry.
Lei Fan bit on his lip, looking highly melancholy and aggrieved as he looked at Jun Xie.
“Before this, although you refused my invitation then, I have still really liked you as a person. You might not be willing to be my studying partner but I am however still very keen to have a friend just like you. When I found out that you had been thrown in prison, how could I stand back and do nothing about it?”
“Thank you Your Highness for your concern, I am fine.” Jun Wu Xie was however completely unmoved.
“You don’t have to put on a brave front like this.” Lei Fan said with a sigh, looking around at the dank and dark prison and continued to say: “Having to remain in a place like this, how could you be good and fine? But because the person you injured this time is the Young Miss of the Thousand Beast City and the Thousand Beast City had always been a powerful force and most ordinary people do not dare to go against them an inch. Now that you have injured their Young Miss, the Thousand Beast City will definitely not let the matter rest so easily.”
As he spoke, Lei Fan’s face revealed a trace of anxiety.
Jun Wu Xie laughed coldly in her heart, her face not betraying an ounce of what she was thinking inside. She only stared stoically at Lei Fan’s earnest face that was looking highly worried.
“Right or wrong, the truth shall prevail one day.”
Lei Fan replied: “You say it so easily, but do you know that the Young Miss of the Thousand Beast City is currently still unconscious? Father has already summoned all the most famous doctors and Imperial Physicians from the Palace and sent them all there but she is still not showing a single sign of recovery. I had secretly gone to ask those Imperial Physicians and they said….. they said Qu Ling Yue might not hold out for any much longer.”

Chapter 856 : “Prison Visit (2)”
“If Qu Ling Yue dies, the Thousand Beast City will most definitely want your life in exchange. Jun Xie, I know that you hold great pride but your own life is more important now. Having earned the wrath of the Thousand Beast City, not even the Zephyr Academy will be able to protect you.” Lei Fan said with all earnest honesty. His voice was tinged with worry and was seemingly seeing Jun Xie as a confidante, while trying his best to ensure he remains safe.
“Oh? Then what does Your Highness have in mind?” Jun Wu Xie asked.
A smile flashed in Lei Chen’s eyes and was quickly covered up. His face once again became solemnly sincere while he said: “Jun Xie, although I can’t be compared to my Royal brother who is the heir to the Yan Country’s throne, but I am still at least the Fourth Prince of the Yan Country. If you were to become my studying partner, I will be be able to make use of my Father’s doting and indulgent ways towards me and plead for him to protect you against any harm. Of course….. this is just a plan made out of convenience and if you are not willing to remain by my side after this matter is resolved, I will definitely not force you against your will! I sincerely just want to save you and only by taking on a position as my most trusted aide would my Father try his best to protect you from harm.”
Jun Wu Xie did not immediately reply but just continued to look at Lei Chen’s face, like she was trying to determine something from him.
Lei Fan remained steadfast as he looked at Jun Xie.
Jun Wu Xie suddenly shook her head.
“I thank Your Highness for your kind intentions, but I do not need it.”
Jun Wu Xie had rejected the offer once more and that had caused Lei Fan’s face to stiffen up. He had not thought that Jun Xie, even after being put in such dire straits, would still refuse his offer of rescue. He discreetly sucked in a deep breath and suppressed the displeasure welling up within, trying his best to maintain an amicable and friendly composure outwardly.
“For Jun Xie to reject my kind intentions, is it due to my Royal Elder Brother?”
“Why would you say that?” Jun Wu Xie asked.
Lei Fan said with a laugh: “I know that Jun Xie shares a rather good relationship with my Royal Brother. With my Royal Brother as the heir to the Yan Country’s throne, it is naturally a fact that a young prince like me would not be able to compare to him. But Jun Xie, have you really not noticed it? In these few days that you have been in prison, had my Royal Brother even come here to at least take a look at you? Has he even thought of trying to get you out of here? With your extraordinary powers, my Royal Brother would undoubtedly want to win you over to his side, but Qu Ling Yue is no ordinary person. She is the Young Miss of the Thousand Beast City and to be honest, my Royal Brother had all along intended to win Qu Ling Yue’s favour. He had always shown much care and concern towards Qu Ling Yue as what he is truly after is the Thousand Beast City behind Qu Ling Yue!”
“Now that you have injured Qu Ling Yue, my Royal Brother would have to make a hard choice to sacrifice one of you. Jun Xie, no matter how highly skilled strong your powers are, in the eyes of my Royal Brother, you cannot compare to the Thousand Beast City behind Qu Ling Yue. Do you know, in the few days that you had been in prison, my Royal Brother had successively made frequent trips to go to the inn the War Banner Academy are allocated with to inquire about Qu Ling Yue’s condition? With his actions, don’t tell me you still can’t see it for what it is. He is intending to abandon you, while trying to protect his relations with the Thousand Beast City!” Lei Fan was getting agitated as she spoke, his hands involuntarily grabbing tightly onto the bars on the cell door, his slightly widened eyes filled with worry and looking highly indignant, his face slightly flushed from his agitation.
Jun Wu Xie however just looked at Lei Fan calmly, her peaceful demeanor somehow making Lei Fan’s agitated emotional outburst look like a joke instead.
“Your Highness is thinking too much into it. I am not expecting the His Highness, the Crown Prince to get me out of here.” Jun Wu Xie said slowly.
“Then why are you still refusing my suggestion to save you? I am really sincere in helping you!” Lei Fan continued to rant, getting highly agitated.
“The prison is not a place that Your Highness should be coming to. Your Highness should go back already.” Jun Wu Xie said, lowering her eyes, calmly inviting the visitor to leave.

Chapter 857 : “Prison Visit (3)”
Lei Fan’s face was suddenly overtaken by a flash of vicious malice and under the dim candlelight in the prison, the handsome looking face took on a chilling appearance. He slowly took a few steps backwards, as his silhouette seemed to blend into the semi darkness. His eyes were staring deadly fixed on Jun Xie, as the pair of eyes glinted with hatred under
the dim shadowy light.
“If you are not willing to believe me now, I will not hold it against you. I only wish that you can think it through quickly, as in two more days, the people from the Thousand Beast City will arrive here. If you wait till they get here, it will be already be too late. I’ll make a move first, and you should really consider it carefully as my offer will still stand.” After saying his piece, Lei Fan decided not to be stubborn and he immediately turned to leave the prison.
At the moment Lei Fan stepped out of the prison, the guard who had been waiting outside the prison immediately went up to him and Lei Fan suddenly raised up a foot and kicked the guard onto the ground!
“That scoundrel doesn’t know what’s good for himself! He really thinks he’s that great!” Lei Fan’s voice was heavily laced with venom and his eyes were filled with malice.
“Jun Xie, I had really not known that there was really such a scoundrel who didn’t know how to adapt to his circumstances! Already fallen into such dire straits and he still dared to refuse my generous offer. I have really allowed you to be too leisurely in prison.” Lei Fan cursed through tightly gritted teeth and he turned to the guard who was just getting up from the ground.
“Go tell the jailors to take good care of Young Master Jun. The torture equipment in the prison had been been used for a long time and they shouldn’t be left there to collect dust.”
The guard shivered and quickly left to run inside the prison to convey Lei Fan’s orders.
Lei Fan climbed into the horse carriage, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.
“You reject the proffered wine and chose to take the wine as punishment! I shall wait and see, whether the arrogance in those bones are able to stand up to the tortures in prison. That day will come that I will make you beg me!”
