Chapter 221: Feeding the Cat
Upon hearing this, Ye Ruoruo's body trembled violently, and her face turned deathly pale.
"Alright, there's no need to go too far with your words," Lin Rusi stopped him in time.
Li Jingyang quieted down for a moment, but he was still unconvinced.
Ye Ruoruo couldn't even lift her head, her eyes glistening with tears.
She realized with a profound understanding that she was incredibly stupid.
Looking at the person in front of her, Lin Rusi shook her head: "I suppose Miss Lin already knows what to do. It's not that we're trying to suppress you, but many things in this world are inexplicable."
"What the princess says is true," Ye Ruoruo said sullenly, her head bowed.
She was trying to figure out how to ease tensions with them when she heard the man speak.
"Someone, escort Miss Ye out of the manor."
Li Jingyang unceremoniously ordered Ye Ruoruo to leave, and before she could even show a look of panic, she was already gone.
The space fell completely silent, and Lin Rusi sat down and sighed.
Ye Ruoruo couldn't empathize, but Lin Rusi understood.
You can never truly understand someone else's feelings unless they happen to you.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side, Sun Jiayi visited almost every day, urging the doctor to help her develop an antidote.
Despite this, the worry in her heart still could not be dispelled.
How could she know if the doctor was truly skilled and capable of developing an antidote?
Sun Jiayi wasn't very confident about this, but it was her only hope at the moment.
The doctor saw Sun Jiayi off, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Perhaps only he himself knows how much torment he was going through, poisoning someone and then not giving them the antidote.
The doctor felt that it was unethical to let a daughter's family end up like this.
In addition, Sun Jiayi came every day, and although the doctor appeared calm on the surface, he always felt guilty inside.
These kinds of power struggles within the inner quarters happen every day.
As a doctor myself, I shouldn't get too involved.
Otherwise, if one day I learn something I shouldn't know, I'll be killed to silence me.
Once the antidote was handed over, the doctor was ready to make his escape at any moment.
I just hope that when things are resolved successfully, I won't be implicated!
The doctor was filled with anxiety, his mind racing with numerous possibilities.
During those three days, even when Sun Jiayi came again, his attitude remained firm, and he was unwilling to open the door for her at all.
They just dismissed him by saying it wasn't ready yet?
He had never felt that three days could pass as slowly as he was now.
Soon, the time was up.
Before Sun Jiayi could even come to see him, the doctor himself couldn't hold back any longer.
He got up early in the morning, tidied himself up, and then eagerly delivered the antidote to Sun Jiayi's residence.
Sun Jiayi hadn't expected the doctor to be so urgent.
After all, the other party had been refusing to see her for the past few days, and Sun Jiayi even felt that there was probably no hope for them.
Holding the wrapped antidote in her hand, she pursed her lips, feeling increasingly strange.
She glanced at the anxious doctor and tentatively asked, "Doctor, why did you come so early? I should be the one coming to you."
The doctor took a deep breath and smiled nonchalantly: "Miss Sun, you've been urging me every day, and I've spent a lot of effort to develop it. Don't you trust me?"
Sun Jiayi didn't speak, but the suspicion in her eyes was very obvious.
"I have to be careful with things that treat my face."
She was quite unfazed by this.
Although she was holding pills, her words betrayed a hint of wariness.
The doctor didn't understand what she meant, but Sun Jiayi acted very quickly, stuffing the pill into the mouth of the cat at her feet.
Sun Jiayi originally wanted to have people try the drug, but after thinking it over, she figured no one would be willing.
Besides, how can you tell the effects of this kind of medicine? As long as it's confirmed to be non-toxic, that's fine.
The doctor couldn't even say anything to stop the cat from taking the medicine.
He stared wide-eyed at the scene, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He opened his mouth, but didn't say anything to dissuade him.
If he really developed this medicine himself, then so be it.
But it just so happens that the medicine was given by Wanxia, and now that everything is alright, Sun Jiayi is relieved.
But the doctor's eyes were full of pain; he had barely managed to get through those few days.
But who could have imagined that it wouldn't end there, and to make matters worse, there was only one pill left.
If Sun Jiayi wants more, she must go to Jinglie Prince's Mansion again.
The doctor sighed softly.
After a while, the cat did not show any other symptoms, and Sun Jiayi finally felt completely relieved.
But when she looked up, she met the doctor's gloomy expression, and a bad feeling immediately arose in her heart.
"Doctor, what's with that expression? Surely there's more to the medicine than this is the only dose available?"
She chuckled dryly and tentatively asked in a low voice?
But the doctor didn't speak; his eyes seemed to say that he had really done something stupid.
It seemed there really was only one dose of the medicine, Sun Jiayi suddenly realized.
At this moment, a hint of helplessness appeared in the doctor's eyes: "Miss Sun, you know how much effort I've put into this medicine. The procedures for developing it are extremely complicated and have already consumed a lot of my time, so..."
The doctor's words carried a hint of unease.
However, the meaning was very clear: he did not have a second pill, nor could he produce a second pill.
Sun Jiayi's face changed drastically, turning deathly pale in an instant. If she had known there was only one pill left, she would never have fed it to the cat.
Besides, how did she know that the doctor only made this one pill?
Sun Jiayi's face immediately showed some annoyance, and she glared at the doctor resentfully.
"Why did you only make one pill?!"
The hope of curing her face slipped through her fingers so easily, and at this moment, her spoiled princess temper was on full display.
Seeing this, the doctor took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, explaining softly, "You know this medicine is difficult to develop. There's nothing I can do; I can only make one because my abilities are insufficient."
But this only made Sun Jiayi more anxious.
She glared at him, remained silent for a while, and then waved her hand dismissively, saying, "Fine, since you didn't do it on purpose, I'll understand. Hurry up and make another one!"
She spoke with great ease; if the doctor hadn't known that the medicine was difficult to make, he probably would have thought it was some kind of candy.
"I see."
But since things had come to this, he could only clench his fists and leave the Sun residence.
……
After leaving the Sun residence, the doctor took a deep breath and angrily spat at the Sun family mansion.
"This kind of woman! How dare she compare to Princess Jinglie! She's simply brainless!" He cursed viciously, vented his anger at the door, and then left.
Little did he know that at that moment, Sun Jiayi in the mansion was also cursing angrily: "Damn doctor, he can't even speak clearly, he's really not presentable."
