All Chapters of The Princes's Miraculous Physician: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Bae Ya froze. This was the first time she had seen him up close, a figure whose name the servants only whispered in tones of awe and fear."T-that... is correct, Your Highness," she answered, bowing her head quickly. "I am Lady Sua Linjin's personal maid."The man's eyes swept over Bae Ya from head to toe. His face was impassive, but a slight crease formed between his eyebrows."You... are very young. But too fragile." His voice was flat, heavy with judgment. "Do you know any martial arts?"Bae Ya shook her head weakly. "No, Your Highness. I... I only know how to grind herbs and sew clothes."The crease between the man's brows deepened."Then how can you protect her?"The question felt like a gentle slap. Bae Ya bit her lower lip, lowering her head even further. "I want... I want

"Fall back!" Rai shouted. He drew his sword. Long, thin, and gleaming black like congealed blood.The creatures lunged. Their wings were like blades. Their claws slashed through the air. Sua parried one with a sharp branch, but another came from behind.The lantern's light suddenly flared brilliantly. Blue flames erupted from its wick. The creatures recoiled, shrieking softly in horrifying whispers. A few caught fire and fell, thrashing on the ground."Stay by my side!" Rai's voice dropped. "This fire won't last long."Sua held her breath. "I have to get the leaves now. Otherwise—""Quickly!" Rai urged.Sua leapt toward the nest. Her nimble fingers plucked three Huan-Po leaves without touching the fragile parts of the nest. But as she turned back, two shadow creatures broke through the light and lunged at her

​Sunlight slipped through the tall window lattices. The scent of ink and aged wood filled the room, yet the atmosphere was far from peaceful. Han Feng stood with his back to the door, staring at a massive map of the Shewu Empire spread across the wall. Behind him, Doctor Li waited in silence.​Without turning around, Han Feng spoke, "Doctor Li."​Doctor Li, standing a few paces behind, immediately bowed his head. "Yes, My Lord?"​"Prepare yourself. We will visit the West Pavilion this afternoon. I want to see Su Ying's condition with my own eyes."​Doctor Li bowed lower. "I will prepare for all possibilities, My Lord."​Han Feng slowly turned around. His gaze was cold, full of calculation. "If she is still holding on... then the poison was not enough. It has been three days since the dose."​"Indeed," Doctor Li agreed. "The parasite I implanted in her heart and respiratory tract has already matured. No one will suspect anything other than a natural death. Everyone will blame her illne

Sua stepped out of her room calmly, though every beat of her heart felt like a hammer striking the inside of her chest. Behind her, Bae Ya followed with light steps, yet her eyes were full of vigilance. They followed the guard, who guided them with a polite but stiff demeanor.​The small path leading to the burial grounds had been cleared. Fallen leaves were swept away, and the earth was compacted. White mourning curtains hung along the bamboo fences, and the path to the offering altar was lined with slow-burning incense, its smoke reaching up to the sky like prayers suspended in the air.​Sua did not speak during the walk. Her face remained bowed, her gaze hidden behind the veil of her black mourning cloth. She did not cry, nor did she raise her voice; she remained silent in a smoldering, burning quietude.​As soon as they arrived at the main courtyard of the family cemetery, a large crowd had already gathered. Several maidservants knelt with their heads bowed. The men, dressed in fo

A few seconds after they changed clothes, a soft knock came from the window. Sua immediately recognized the sound.She stepped forward to open it, and Rai's figure emerged from the shadows of the night."Are you ready?" he asked.Sua nodded, but before stepping out, she turned to look at Bae Ya again. Her eyes could not hide her worry.Rai read her anxiety quickly. He didn't ask further, only gesturing toward the side of the window. "I will call Chunying to stand guard by your maid's side."Sua took a deep breath. Finally, she turned to Bae Ya and touched her shoulder."I will return before dawn."Bae Ya nodded slowly, trying to smile, though her eyes were clearly holding back emotion.After ensuring Chunying had appeared from the outer corridor, stan
