Chapter 263: The Princess’s Illness

"The princess has been sick since last year. In just six months, she’s become like this. We can’t delay any longer!"

She said with great seriousness, "I’m entrusting the princess’s treatment to you. How long will it take to cure her?"

Chen Qingdi stated with absolute certainty, "It’s nine in the morning now. By four in the afternoon, the princess will be completely cured and ready for discharge!"

The Queen was overjoyed to hear this. Following Chen Qingdi’s rules, she had all unrelated personnel cleared from the room.

Mr. Doyle was reluctant to leave. Chen Qingdi used his Flying Dragon Fist and gave Mr. Doyle a light push.

Despite being about five or six meters apart, Mr. Doyle suddenly felt an immense force pushing him backward relentlessly until he was outside the door, where it finally stopped.

When he looked again at the plain-looking young man before him, he felt a sense of dread.

"You’re not a man! You’re a messenger of Satan!"

Hearing such a curse, Chen Qingdi just smiled faintly, not taking it to heart.

’He knew how these people were. Anything they can’t understand, they blame on Satan.’

’Satan has become their all-purpose scapegoat.’

Seeing that the Queen was also about to leave, Chen Qingdi stopped her.

"You probably wouldn’t feel at ease if you weren’t here, so you might as well stay and help me. Have everyone else wait outside the clinic."

The Queen agreed. She then watched as Chen Qingdi took out rows of needles and, with incredible speed, inserted them through the princess’s clothes into various acupoints on her body.

In no time, the beautiful princess looked like a real-life hedgehog.

She asked nervously, "Sir, will she be alright?"

Chen Qingdi put almost all his strength into the process.

Once all the princess’s acupoints were sealed, he used his Inner Strength to force the toxins within her body up into her throat.

He then swiftly struck the princess on the back. "BLECH!" The princess coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

The stench of the black blood was incredibly foul. Chen Qingdi had already placed a trash can to the side; as soon as the blood hit the bottom, he immediately snapped the lid shut.

The Queen called over an assistant to take the trash can out and dispose of it.

Only then did Chen Qingdi speak to the Queen.

"The princess was actually afflicted with something called Gu Poison. The creature itself is almost too small to see, but its eggs multiply at an incredible rate. Once this parasite spreads throughout the entire body, it’s too late to save the person."

These words made the Queen’s face turn pale with fright.

Although she didn’t know what Gu Poison was, the memory of the suffering she had seen the princess endure still filled her with a lingering fear.

"Is there still time for the princess?"

Chen Qingdi nodded affirmatively.

"Fortunately, this particular Gu Insect multiplies rather slowly. Otherwise, after six months, her condition would have been terminal. I just used Qi Cultivation to force all the poison out through her mouth. If you have her tested now, you shouldn’t find any traces of it. However, she’ll still need to take some herbal medicine to completely flush out any residual toxins."

He then took a newly concocted detoxification Spirit Pill from his medicine pouch and handed it to the Queen.

"Have her take one of these Spirit Pills every five days. After she finishes them, no further detoxification will be needed. The princess should be completely cured."

After giving these instructions, Chen Qingdi swiftly removed all the needles from the princess’s body.

"The Gu Poison in the princess’s body has been neutralized. If you’re anxious, Your Majesty, you can take her back to the royal palace now."

The Queen said very gracefully, "Thank you for saving her life, Divine Physician. I don’t know how we can possibly repay you."

Chen Qingdi smiled. "If you insist on repaying me, Your Majesty, then please ask His Majesty the King to extend some consideration to our Yaglu Castle."

Daglu Castle was also a historical site in this area. It was a place under special protection.

Naturally, Chen Qingdi’s suggestion was not rejected.

Far away on Eisen Island, Shen Mingyue and the others were repeatedly urging Chen Qingdi to come back.

And Chen Qingdi was always thinking about his wife as well.

So he told Shen Mingyue he would be home the next day.

「The next morning.」

Just as he left the castle, he suddenly found himself completely surrounded by the Royal Guard.

Then, a graceful and elegant woman stepped out of a car. It was the Queen.

"Sir, have you seen the princess?"

Chen Qingdi asked her where the princess had gone.

No one could answer. It turned out that after the princess recovered and returned to the palace, she had been clamoring to come to the castle to see Chen Qingdi.

Despite the King and Queen’s opposition, she refused to compromise. But when they woke up this morning, the princess herself was gone.

Chen Qingdi looked completely baffled. "We really don’t know." The Queen’s men searched the castle for a long time but couldn’t find the princess. Chen Qingdi then said politely to the Queen,

"I must return to Medical God Island now. We shall meet again."

At that moment, the plane from Medical God Island—Chen Qingdi’s plane—was waiting on the tarmac.

Just then, someone covered Chen Qingdi’s eyes from behind.

"Guess who?"

Chen Qingdi could tell it was a woman’s voice, but he couldn’t for the life of him figure out who it was.

The girl removed her hands. Chen Qingdi looked and saw a mischievous-looking blonde girl.

"Who are you?"

The girl giggled. "I’m that sick princess."

"Don’t lie. That princess was sallow and gaunt. She wasn’t nearly as pretty as you."

"You think I’m pretty?"

The princess seemed exceptionally happy.

"Well, I was under treatment for six months, wasn’t I? It’s only natural I’d be back to my old self now that I’m cured."

"How did you get here?"

The princess said very frankly, "I want to be with you, but Mommy and Daddy wouldn’t agree. So I snuck out. I happened to overhear you planning to return to Eisen Island, and I knew you were taking this private jet, so I boarded it ahead of time."

"Why did the people here let you on the plane?"

The princess giggled. "Because this plane belongs to our kingdom! Everyone knows who I am, so of course they’d help hide me."

"Your Highness, you’re of royal blood. Why would you do something so risky? How about this: once the plane lands on Eisen Island, you can just fly back."

The princess huffed.

"I don’t care! I like you, and I want to be with you. If you try to send me away, I’ll..."

"You’ll what?"

The princess thought for a long time with a troubled expression, but she couldn’t think of anything she could do.

Her little face flushed, and she fell silent.

’What’s done is done. It’s impossible to get her off the plane now. I guess I’ll have to deal with this once we get to the airport on Medical God Island.’

After arriving at the airport, they had just disembarked when they saw a large group of people waiting to greet them.

Shen Mingyue emerged, along with several of Chen Qingdi’s other women.

She didn’t see her husband at first, only an innocent and adorable young girl.

"Honey, who is she?"

The little girl giggled. "I’m Princess Alice. Wow, you’re so beautiful!"
