Chapter 63: Helping with Treatment

Chen Xin, not understanding the situation, glanced at her and refilled her tea cup. “Chen is just a commoner, I’m afraid… I can’t reach that high.”

“And isn’t the Fourth Princess afraid of being discovered by appearing so openly here?” Tuoba Yiran, dressed in white, sat there, his gentle eyes dimming slightly. “My guards are dressed as me, and I left early in the morning. No one will notice. I just wanted to see Sister Chen and then leave.”

Chen Xin was surprised and asked, “We’ve only met last night, why do you want to see me? If it’s because of last night, there’s no need…”

Before Chen Xin could finish, Tuoba Yiran, slightly excited, interrupted, “No! Sister Chen, Yiran just wants to be friends with you, and I’ve seen you twice.”

Tuoba Yiran, astonished that Chen Xin could perform medical treatment, grabbed her hand eagerly. “Sister Chen, what kind of illness do I have?”

In the past, she didn’t care about life or death, and even thought it would be better to die. But the Empress always hinted that she should seek medical treatment outside, saying it was an order, a stark contrast to her attitude towards her in public. She was confused, but also held a glimmer of hope for the Empress, at least it seemed like she cared about her, which was enough.

Most importantly, after meeting Chen Xin, she was inspired to desperately want to live.

Chen Xin, going along with her, as she was now a patient, couldn’t turn a blind eye to her illness unfolding before her eyes. Moreover, Chen Xin still had a favorable impression of Tuoba Yiran; she was a good kid. But she didn’t realize that calling someone a kid made her seem older.

But being a member of the royal family would inevitably bring trouble upon contact, which was Chen Xin’s dilemma. However, she couldn’t help but smile wryly, suddenly remembering the two assassination attempts she had thwarted… Both seemed to involve the royal family! Chen Xin didn’t know what to say about this. What kind of situation was this?

Chen Xin comforted her with a smile, patting her hand. “Don’t worry, this is asthma. As long as you stay calm in your daily life, and follow the treatment, you’ll be fine.”

“Since we’ve met, it’s fate. I can treat this illness, but it may take some time. Also, you can’t stay here all the time. I heard you’re going to the capital for the birthday celebration.”

Hearing this, Tuoba Yiran was delighted, but when she heard the words “birthday celebration,” she suddenly felt like she had been doused with cold water. Grabbing Chen Xin’s sleeve, she said, “Sister Chen, what should I do?”

Chen Xin gently freed her hand from her grip, feeling strange. Perhaps she was just feeling anxious.

“I’ll give you some medicine to take with you. If you have an attack, just follow the breathing method I taught you earlier to gradually calm down. When you pass by here after the birthday celebration, I’ll check on your condition again.”

Nuan Fan, who was on the side, was also shocked. She didn’t expect Miss Chen to be skilled in both martial arts and medicine, and she could even explain the reason behind the illness.

For the past few years, she had been following the Fourth Princess to seek medical treatment, and those doctors didn’t even know what illness it was, claiming they had never seen anything like it before. Where did this “monster” come from? How did it come out to attack people?! It’s really unbearable to compare oneself with others.

Then she saw the Princess grabbing her hand, Nuan Fan really… Well, she understood the Princess’s mood. Who wouldn’t be ecstatic to finally have someone who could cure a strange illness they had been seeking treatment for years?

Moreover, it was just holding hands, but then grabbing sleeves, which was truly unbearable. Because Nuan Fan knew very well that Tuoba Yiran extremely disliked touching others and being touched by others.

It’s said that martial artists have sharp senses. Tuoba Yiran also noticed Chen Xin’s somewhat stiff movements and let go of her hand, smiling warmly. “Sister Chen, thank you.”
