“Why?” Qiao Heting was puzzled. “You sneaked in. How could I be careless?”

“Get out of the way.” Chuchu gave him a dirty look and walked up to the Third Prince. “Your Excellency, forgive me for coming like this. It’s really because my family is made up of commoners. We don’t dare to cause any trouble. We can only come and see you like this in the middle of the night. Please, sit down.”

The Third Prince said, “Mrs. Xie, I am grateful that you came. Sorry for causing you any trouble.”

Chuchu glanced at the Third Prince and found that he did not look like Xie Jun, probably because Xie Jun had been poisoned before and had not grown up yet.

Although the Third Prince was in the same situation, the royal family was not the same as an ordinary family of farmers.

The poison was too potent. Even though the royal family had the best medicine in the world, they could not stop the poison from seeping into internal organs. So, it was true that the Third Prince would not live long.

Even if his blood was detoxified, he could only live another three or four years.

If Chuchu was at the peak of her powers, she could use her powers to renew the life of the Third Prince.

But she would not do it.

The Third Prince was kind to Xie Jun only because Xie Jun was his brother. However, she was an outsider. If they knew she had powers, they would probably try to imprison her and make her the royal life-renewal medicine.

After checking the pulse of the Third Prince, she shook her head. “I apologize. I can do nothing about it.”

Qiao Heting suddenly became agitated. “There is nothing you can do?”

“He is not sick but poisoned. He was already poisoned even in his mother’s womb, right? It’s a miracle that he has survived so long. Even if I could cleanse the poison, he would only live a few more years,” Chuchu said honestly.

“How do you know that he was poisoned before he was born?”

“Mr. Qiao, don’t forget that I am a doctor. Since I’m called a Doctor Miracle, do you think I wouldn’t know this? It’s ridiculous for you to doubt me about that.”

Qiao Heting’s breath caught in his throat.

The Third Prince opened his mouth to mediate. “My cousin is too concerned about me, so please don’t be too insensitive to him. I would only like to ask, how can you be sure that I am poisoned?”

“If I can’t even know it by checking your pulse, how dare I come to Qiaoyi Town to cure big belly disease?” Chuchu asked rhetorically. “If you don’t believe me, never mind. Anyway, I have already done what I’ve promised to Mr. Qiao.”

“Thank you for your understanding. I was just curious about it. Many doctors have diagnosed me as sick, not poisoned.”

“It is indeed similar to certain illnesses, but if you were sick, those doctors would have prescribed the right medicine and you would have recovered long ago. Why keep it till now?”

“Do you have a way to remove the poison?”

“Yes, but I don’t know if you can get the herbs needed.”

“You can’t get them?”

“Well, a few herbs are only available to the royal family, so…”

“Mrs. Xie, you might as well write a recipe for us.”

“I’ll put it straight here. The poison has spread throughout your body. Even if your body is detoxified, you won’t live long as normal people. At best, you will live the remaining several years peacefully without suffering from toxic attacks. That’s all I can do.”

Chuchu looked at the Third Prince with a serious expression.

He answered, “Don’t worry. It’s predicted that I won’t live more than 20 years. If I live a few more years, that’s a bonus. I will only be grateful to you.”

“I hope you are reasonable,” Chuchu said before she looked at Qiao Heting. “Please bring a pen and paper for me, Mr. Qiao. I will write down the prescription for you.”

“Many thanks.”

The Third Prince showed his gratitude with a fist-and-palm salute.

Chuchu nodded slightly.

Seeing that the Third Prince did not say anything, Qiao Heting did as Chuchu said.

She quickly wrote down the prescription and handed it to Qiao Heting.

Qiao Heting handed it to the Third Prince.

It was said that those who had been suffering from a long-time illness would become doctors. The Third Prince had been suffering from poisonous attacks all his life, so naturally, he had done some research on medicinal herbs.

With a first glance at the prescription, he found those rare ingredients.

He looked at Chuchu secretly. His gaze was a bit curious.

Chuchu noticed his gaze but pretended not to know anything.

“How is the formula going to be used?” he asked.

Chuchu told him the procedure carefully.

In fact, it required acupuncture.

But the Third Prince’s body was so much weaker than Xie Jun’s that he couldn’t endure it.

Still, the Third Prince was older. He could take more dosage of medicine than Xie Jun.

“This is enough for six months!” Qiao Heting heard her words and became incredulous.

Chuchu nodded. “He’s too weak. It is simply impossible to detoxify him all at once. But don’t worry, as long as you follow my instructions strictly, he will be able to live past 20, and it’s all up to him as to how many years he can earn later.”

Qiao Heting glanced at the Third Prince.

The Third Prince said, “Good. Thank you in advance, Mrs. Xie.”

“There is no need to be so formal. It would be better to make the goods delivered and the bill cleared.” Chuchu smiled slightly.

“Who wants your thanks? Money is all I want,” she thought.

Qiao Heting was a bit frustrated. “Mrs. Xie, is money the only thing you care about? I will surely pay you.”

“Great wits have short memories. I’d better remind you first.”

“Heting, go get ready. Mrs. Xie deserves it.”

...

“Yes, Third Brother.”

Qiao Heting turned around and left.

The Third Prince and Chuchu were left in the room.

The smile on the Third Prince’s face faded away. “Mrs. Xie, have you ever seen this poison?”

“No,” Chuchu denied. “I am only talented in studying medicine, plus my husband has privately sought out a lot of ancient books related to medicine to cure his eyes. I have seen a poison similar to your symptoms in the ancient books.”

“Really?”

“Well, it’s a pity that the ancient books were burned. Otherwise, it would have proved for me.”

“I’m sorry for doubting you, Mrs. Xie.”

“It’s okay, and it’s normal for people who have been sick for a long time to be skeptical. My husband and brother-in-law were like that before.”

“Then, why didn’t you treat them before?”

“Would you believe me if I said it was because my husband didn’t trust me?” Chuchu asked with a smile. “He burned the ancient books because he was afraid that I would mess up. He didn’t expect me to learn something.”

...

“You learned medicine in a year?”

“My husband forced me to memorize those ancient medical books every day, and I could recite them backward. So, I can more or less apply some of them. In addition, the plague in Yuanjiang County gave me a lot of confidence and made me more courageous.”

The Third Prince did not continue the topic.

Chuchu also knew her words had flaws, but she did it intentionally.

Everyone had their secret. Until the Third Prince found Xie Jun, she was safe.

Because the Third Prince suspected that Xie Jun was also poisoned and she could possibly be the only doctor who could detoxify the poison.

Later, Qiao Heting returned.

He brought a bulging pouch with him and handed it to Chuchu.

“This is part of it. If your prescription works, there will be a great reward following.”

“Thanks.”

Chuchu took it, weighed it, and found it stuffed with bank notes.

One was a prince and the other was the heir of a noble family. Chuchu believed that they would not be stingy with this.
