The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady-Chapter 207 - Replacing Blind Eyes with Intact Ones

Gripped by Qin Yuyan, Ye Yichen’s joints turned slightly bloodless.

Ye Yichen didn’t take it seriously. He just gazed at her and said, “Have a good rest. I will send servants to decoct medicinal herbs for you! ”

“I am blind, and I cannot see anything. Is the medicine really necessary for me?” shouted Qin Yuyan in rage. She conveniently grasped the hourglass by her side, and violently threw it at the curtain.

Just at that moment, a big hand stretched into the curtain, and caught the hourglass. A handsome gentleman with vicious and presumptuous eyes in a dark gold robe slowly walked in. It was Qin Haoyan, the Prince of Mo Bei.

Looking at the injured Qin Yuyan, Qin Haoyan said disapprovingly, “Dear sister, the temporary injure and blindness are not as serious as you think. What’s all the fuss about? ”

“What do you mean?” Ye Yichen looked at him indifferently, and asked with light flashing across his eyes.

“I heard there is a way of curing my sister’s eyes from a highly skilled physician.” answered Qin Haoyan casually.

Hearing his words, Ye Yichen narrowed his eyes and asked, “What kind of treatment is it?”

“Replace her blind eyes with intact ones!” Qin Haoyan slightly moved his thin lips and answered, stressing each syllable, with the barest hint of a malicious smile on his face.

With a meaningful look on his face, Ye Yichen asked, “Do you mean that your sister’s eyes can be cured by putting others’ intact eyeballs into her eye sockets?”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I meant!” Qin Haoyan nodded, curving his lips upwards.

Ye Yichen narrowed his dark eyes all of a sudden, and lowered his voice, “Is it really feasible?”, which sounded like an inquiry as well as a soliloquy, as his sharp eyes intentionally cast over the imperial physician in the outer room.

“Ah…It’s also the first time that I’ve ever heard about such a… peculiar method!”the imperial physician answered euphemistically after a moment of thinking. To gouge out the eyes of others and place them in your own sockets, how creepy it is!

How could the Prince of Mo Bei speak those words easily, which seemed that he has gotten accustomed to such cruel behavior? How presumptuous and bloodthirsty he is!

“I heard it from a great physician with high prestige who could cure all diseases in the world, and even replace a bad heart with a healthy one if possible, not to mention replacing a set of eyes!”

Qin Haoyan harangued superciliously. Seeing that Ye Yichen was turning sullen, he changed the topic with a subtle smile, “Without doubt, there are certain requirements on replacing eyes, and not all people’s eyes are suitable for my sister.”

“What kind of people’s eyes can be used to cure her blindness?” Ye Yichen asked with a piercing stare.

“The eyeballs of people who suffer from pathogenic cold!” Qin Haoyan answered smilingly.

Ye Yichen suddenly narrowed his sharp eyes. People who suffer from pathogenic cold? What a coincidence!

“Why only the eyes of them are useful?”

“Since eyes of ordinary people always come with their body temperature, and are closely correlated with the body, they will soon decay and become useless after being gouged out. While the eyes of people who suffer from pathogenic cold, and can be kept intact with that freezing vapor when they are gouged out, and thus can fit into my sister’s sockets.”

Qin Haoyan answered slowly and let out a sigh, “Pathogenic cold is the rarest among hundreds of poisons, and is extremely hard to prepare and obtain. I heard that it was last seen ten years ago. Besides, most of its victims are short-lived. So, I’m not sure whether there will still be a victim alive. The eyes my sister needs are indeed hard to find.”

“Will this cruel method really work?” asked Ye Yichen dubitatively, with sharp eyes as deep as a pool.

“It’s about the eyes of my sister. Do you think it’s necessary for me to lie?” Qin Haoyan glanced at him, and snorted scornfully.

Ye Yichen knitted his dashing eyebrows. “I know a person with pathogenic cold, and is still alive. She was the victim ten years ago!”

“However, Qin Yuyan got her eyes burned by the fiery poison due to her attempt to save me. I owe her a favor, and only by curing her blindness, will it be possible for me to pay her back.”

But, why is Murong Xue the only person who can provide the eyeballs Qin Yuyan needs?

Murong Xue or Qin Yuyan, which one should he choose?

At the crack of dawn, Murong Xue arrived at a square in the capital by the carriage of Lord Freedom’s Mansion. At her first glance, the square was full of armored soldiers with spears.

Murong Xue stepped off the carriage, and quickly scanned those soldiers with her sharp eyes to seek for Murong Ye. She fell asleep in the carriage on the way yesterday. Murong Xue thought that the carriage of Lord Freedom’s Mansion would arrive in the capital city that night. Yet, unexpectedly, for the sake of her good rest, Ouyang Shaochen parked the carriage in the wild and spent the night there. And, only after she woke up, did he order the servants to set out again, and directly came to the square.

“My dear sister!” a yell of delight came to ears, Murong Xue looked up, only to find that Murong Ye was rushing towards her in a pale blue martial attire, which added to his heroic posture. With a long sword in hand, and a medium-sized bag on his back, Murong Ye’s thin body looked slender.

Though she had already foreseen that he would go to the front along with the troops, Murong Xue still couldn’t rear herself away from her brother, “You are leaving for Nan Jiang, brother.”

“Yes!” Murong Ye nodded, and looked at her with his eyes twinkling with delight, asking, “Are you here to see me off?”

He was unexpectedly informed to join the battle today while he was resting in his mansion. So he packed several sets of clothes overnight, and came to the square. He thought that he would not see his younger sister for she was spending her summer at the resort. However, it was beyond his expectation that he would have the chance to see her before departure.

“Yes!” Murong Xue nodded. She took out a pouch, and hung it on Murong Ye’s waist, explaining, “Here’s the pouch you gave me before. Inside is an amulet our mother asked from a temple for you. May you return safely!”

“Don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll come back safe and sound!” Pinching that pouch, Murong Ye promised faithfully.

Murong Xue smile gently, and enjoined seriously, “You must be careful since it’s a long journey to Nan Jiang, and there will be full of perils during the battle.”

“I know!” Murong Ye nodded. He knew that one of the two parties would lose in a battle. Yet, he didn’t want to be a member of the losing party.

“Murong Ye, we need to go now!” Hearing the cold reminder, Murong Ye put on a solemn look and said, “I have to leave, dear sis. Take care of yourself.”

“Be careful on the way!” seeing Murong Ye running into the troops, and mounting on a tall horse, Murong Xue enjoined with reluctance.

The man in martial attire beside him on a horse was General Chang, the commander of the army!

“March!” General Chang commanded as he suddenly clamped his legs, making his horse run forward wildly like a flying arrow.
