Treating His Love Rival?

Even so, she was unwilling to give up, and even less willing to let the man before her fall into despair.

She nodded gently.

She took his pulse...

Before long, the small courtyard fell silent.

The guard behind the Fourth Prince looked at Bai Ruoli anxiously, his eyes full of hope.

According to their information,

Miss Bai had once brought someone who was certain to die back to life. Calling her a divine physician of the age was no exaggeration.

They had tried far too many methods over the past few years.

If even this divine physician could do nothing, then...

Bai Ruoli's expression was grave as well, growing graver by the moment. Only the Fourth Prince remained serene.

It was as though he had never been poisoned at all.

A long while passed...

"Miss Bai?"

Seeing the sorrow on Bai Ruoli's face, the Fourth Prince sighed softly and asked with a smile.

"Ah..."

Bai Ruoli came back to her senses. Looking at the Fourth Prince, she shook her head dejectedly. "It's poison from the venomous dragon herb, and it has already entered your bloodstream and heart... Phew... I cannot treat it!"

At those words, the guard behind the Fourth Prince staggered and nearly fell.

A trace of disappointment also flashed through the Fourth Prince's eyes, but he soon nodded calmly. "I see. I understand."

Bai Ruoli: "..."

Her heart ached.

Just like this...

He had been the same in her previous life, so calm and untroubled, even at the threshold of life and death, as though he had seen through the mortal world.

In her previous life, he had saved her again and again.

But she had been unable to save him, and it was the same now.

At her side, Lian'er looked at her sorrowful miss and the silent crowd, secretly frowning as well.

He had never seen his miss so heartbroken.

She didn't want her miss to be sad.

Gently gritting her teeth, she set the rules of propriety aside for the moment and said, "Miss, why don't I ask Young Master Jun to come take a look?"

"He can even save someone who's certain to die. Maybe..."

"Uh..."

Bai Ruoli's eyes brightened slightly.

Yes, she had thought of him too.

Jun Jingyi had saved someone who was certain to die back then.

She had looked into those miraculous medical skills afterward, and found no record of them even in ancient medical texts.

She had originally wanted to seek his guidance.

But because... that fellow was her enemy, after all, and she had never wanted to get too close to him, so she had put it aside.

But Lian'er was right.

That fellow must have obtained an extraordinary inheritance in the medical arts. She truly had no way to treat the Fourth Prince's poison, but if it were that fellow...

At the thought, Bai Ruoli raised her eyes slightly and looked at the Fourth Prince. "Young Master Hao, there's no need to despair too much. Lian'er is right. I can't cure your illness because my skills aren't good enough, but perhaps that person can!"

"Young Marquis Jun?"

The Fourth Prince wore a strange, complicated expression.

How long had he been in Tianfu City? Less than a day, surely?

How was it that all he had heard about were his exploits?

And it wasn't as though he had deliberately asked about him.

More importantly, he had never heard of a renowned physician in the Jun Marquis Residence.

That Young Marquis Jun could write poetry? Do business? He was kindhearted and skilled in medicine too? And judging by Divine Physician Bai's reaction, his medical skills were no simple matter?

But according to the intelligence, the man was only in his teens, wasn't he?

For a moment, the Fourth Prince felt dealt a blow!

That was right, a blow!

Ever since he was old enough to understand, he had always believed he was no worse than anyone else, and the facts had proven that as long as he was willing to work hard,

no one of the younger generation in the Capital could compare to him, least of all among the imperial family.

All he lacked was time.

Whether it was the First Prince or Noble Consort Xiao, he had always believed that, given enough time, he could take his revenge.

As long as he lived, the First Prince would never have the slightest chance at the throne.

But now...

After a long silence, the Fourth Prince nodded.

Bai Ruoli smiled too, seemingly having found a solution. She hurriedly turned to Lian'er and said, "Lian'er, go to the Jun Residence and see if you can invite Young Master Jun over. Just say..."

Bai Ruoli's face flushed slightly at the thought.

"Just say I'm asking him for help."

"Hee-hee, I understand!"

Lian'er chuckled and hurried outside. The guard behind the Fourth Prince quickly followed.

His purpose was to protect the young girl, Lian'er.

After all, as things stood, she was running this errand for his master's life. There was something wrong in Tianfu City, and he didn't want any accidents.

As for his master...

There was only a weak woman here.

The Jun Residence.

At that moment, Jun Jingyi was deep in thought.

He had just received a piece of news, news that was very important to him.

A very important person had entered Tianfu City.

The Fourth Prince of this country...

He had analyzed it before: the First Prince, the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince were the three princes most likely to become emperor.

The protagonist was among them.

The Eighth Prince had already been ruled out.

The First Prince looked more like a villain, and a boss at that, so there was only one answer!

The Fourth Prince had come. The true protagonist of this novel's world had descended upon Tianfu City!

Jun Jingyi frowned.

According to the news, that fellow had gone straight to Bai Ruoli's clinic as soon as he entered the city.

This really was...

Without even giving him time to react, the male and female leads had already met!

As a minor villain, how could he not panic?

But what followed left him even more speechless.

Looking at Lian'er, the maid before him, gazing at him with lovestruck eyes and brimming with excitement, Jun Jingyi was dumbfounded.

What kind of god-tier development was this?

The male and female leads had met, and now they wanted a minor villain like him to help?

And...

According to his plan, he was going to resolve the crisis by marrying the female lead, Bai Ruoli, but the Fourth Prince was the male lead, her official match!

In other words, that fellow was his love rival, no doubt about it!

So now... the female lead had sent her maid to ask him to treat his love rival?

Never mind whether he had any medical skills.

That logic alone was enough to leave him reeling.

After thinking it over for a long time, Jun Jingyi sighed softly and decided he should go after all.

Leaving aside the fact that Bai Ruoli had asked him, making it a good chance to raise her favorability,

since those two were the official couple, a man and a woman alone together... No, he couldn't let that fellow ruin his path to survival.

Besides, know yourself and know your enemy, and you need not fear a hundred battles.

The Fourth Prince...

He needed to meet him in person, see what kind of man he was, and then make a plan!
