The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 177 Let's Get Married!

"I don't know. I grew up with my master since I was a child, but I don't know anything about these things," Dark Night replied helplessly.

Both of them turned their gazes to the divine physician Dan beside them, hoping he could answer their questions.

"Ahem, I don't know either. Don't look at me like that, I really don't know anything! Oh dear, I suddenly remembered I have other things to take care of, so I'll take my leave now!"

As he spoke, Doctor Dan quickly fled the scene, seemingly afraid of being questioned further.

As Qiuqin watched the departing figure of Doctor Dan, she muttered to herself, "Dark Night, I think Doctor Dan definitely knows something we don't!"

"I don't know, but I have other things to do. Remember, you absolutely mustn't let your young lady know about this!"

After finishing his speech, An Ye hurriedly left.

“How could Miss not know about something so important? When Miss wakes up, I will definitely tell her everything,” Qiuqin said firmly.

At this moment, Qiuqin was completely unaware of all this. She didn't know that two pairs of eyes had been silently watching her all along.

"Young man of the Dark Night, are you really sure Qiuqin will tell Wan'er about this?" The speaker was none other than Doctor Dan, and his eyes revealed a hint of worry.

Dark Night nodded, replying firmly, "It definitely will!"

"Sigh, I hope that doing this will help Xiao Jiuzi get out of his pain as soon as possible!" Doctor Dan sighed, his heart filled with helplessness.

"My lord will, the princess will definitely have a way!" Trust gleamed in An Ye's eyes.

At the same time, Ye Jiuchen sat quietly by the bed, holding Dongfang Wan'er's hand tightly, as if afraid that she would disappear if he let go.

Time passed by, and Ye Jiuchen's eyelids gradually became heavy. Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep leaning against the bed.

"Dongfang Wan'er..."

"who……"

"Dongfang Wan'er, you've arrived!"

Dongfang Wan'er felt as if she were in a gray, desolate place where she could not see anything and was surrounded by silence, with only the sound of her footsteps echoing in the air.

A woman is calling her name...

"Dongfang Wan'er..."

The fog slowly dissipated, gradually revealing the figure of a woman. She stood there, smiling at Dongfang Wan'er, her eyes gleaming with a mysterious light.

"who are you?"

Dongfang Wan'er asked warily, a sense of unease rising within her. Why did this strange woman know her name? Who exactly was she?

“I am your friend, Dongfang Wan’er.”

The woman's voice was soft and warm, like a spring breeze that made people feel comfortable and at ease.

But Dongfang Wan'er couldn't relax. She clenched her fists tightly, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

"Friend? I don't know you, how do you know my name?"

Dongfang Wan'er frowned, trying to find some clues from the woman's expression, but the woman just smiled and didn't reveal much information.

"Don't worry about who I am. This is not a place for you. It's not the right time. You should go back." The woman's voice was like heavenly music, but her tone carried a hint of indifference and authority.

She lightly touched Dongfang Wan'er's forehead with her finger, and a mysterious power immediately enveloped Dongfang Wan'er.

Dongfang Wan'er felt her feet suddenly give way, as if the whole world had turned upside down. She screamed in terror as her body plummeted as if falling into an abyss.

"Ah..." Dongfang Wan'er suddenly opened her eyes, her whole body drenched in cold sweat. She breathed rapidly, her heart pounding, the terrifying scenes from her dream still vivid in her mind.

"I had a dream. It felt so real. Who was the woman in the dream?" Dongfang Wan'er murmured to herself, her heart filled with doubt and unease.

She tried hard to recall the details of her dream, but the figure of the mysterious woman remained blurry.

Just then, Dongfang Wan'er suddenly realized that there seemed to be something beside her. She turned her head and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

It turned out that there was someone lying next to her, and it was a man.

"Ah...who are you!" Dongfang Wan'er screamed, her face filled with terror. She instinctively backed away, trying to get away from this strange man.

Ye Jiuchen was awakened by Dongfang Wan'er's scream. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the panicked Dongfang Wan'er in front of him with a blank expression.

At the same time, there was a series of urgent knocks on the door. Hearing Dongfang Wan'er's scream, Qiuqin quickly pushed the door open and rushed in, asking anxiously, "Miss, what happened?"

Qiuqin carried the basin of water into the room, and when she looked up, she saw her son-in-law lying on the bed!

She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Oh, I'm so sorry, Miss, it's the young master!"

After saying that, Qiuqin hurriedly left and closed the door behind her.

Hearing the voice, Dongfang Wan'er realized someone was beside her. She looked closely and saw it was Ye Jiuchen!

"Young Master? Ye Jiuchen, you're awake!"

Ye Jiuchen rubbed his eyes, somewhat surprised: "Hmm, Wan'er, are you going to summon everyone?"

He was also filled with doubt, wondering how he ended up sleeping in a bed.

Dongfang Wan'er blushed and hurriedly explained, "Ah, no, I didn't mean to. No, you should get off now."

She initially thought that her voice was too loud and had woken Ye Jiuchen, but then she realized that things might not be that simple.

"You, Ye Jiuchen, get down here right now!"

Dongfang Wan'er pushed Ye Jiuchen forcefully, trying to get him off the bed.

Ye Jiuchen was pushed and stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

"Wan'er...I...cough cough cough..."

Ye Jiuchen suddenly coughed violently, his face turning pale.

Dongfang Wan'er was startled and quickly supported him, saying, "I didn't push you that hard, so why are you coughing so badly!"

"Wan'er, I stayed by your side all night last night, and somehow I fell asleep in bed. How could you be so heartless as to push me away? I'm still injured!" Ye Jiuchen felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, his face full of pitiful expression.

"Oh dear, quickly lie down and rest. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to push you." Dongfang Wan'er hurriedly helped Ye Jiuchen lie down.

"I won't lie down, Wan'er just pushed me!" Ye Jiuchen said stubbornly.

Dongfang Wan'er was secretly surprised. Heavens, how could Ye Jiuchen have become so childish? What happened? She couldn't help but wonder.

"Do you still remember who you are?" Dongfang Wan'er couldn't help but ask, hoping to get some clues from him.

"Of course I remember. I am your husband, Wan'er. Let's get married. I can't wait!" Ye Jiuchen looked at Dongfang Wan'er with a serious expression, his eyes revealing deep love and longing.

"Didn't I promise to marry you a long time ago? Why are you in such a hurry..." Dongfang Wan'er was both amused and exasperated, but her heart was filled with emotion.

"I'm afraid I won't live to see that day," Ye Jiuchen murmured softly, his tone tinged with helplessness and worry.

"What?" Dongfang Wan'er didn't hear clearly and frowned as she asked again.

"It's nothing, Wan'er. I am Ye Jiuchen, not the original Ye Jiuchen!"

Ye Jiuchen looked at the woman before him, his heart filled with complex emotions. But he still decided to tell her the truth.

"Ah! It's you, you're here again..." Dongfang Wan'er looked at Ye Jiuchen in surprise, she really couldn't tell the difference between the two Ye Jiuchens.

They looked exactly alike, and their voices were identical. However, she could sense a subtle change, as if the Ye Jiuchen before her was more profound and mature.

"What, does Wan'er not like me, but like another version of herself!" Upon hearing Dongfang Wan'er's words, Ye Jiuchen felt a surge of jealousy.

He knew he shouldn't think that way, but he couldn't control his emotions.

"Ah, no, to me, you are the same person, there's no difference!" Dongfang Wan'er quickly explained. She didn't want Ye Jiuchen to misunderstand that her feelings for him hadn't changed.

"Heh, um, Wan'er, I'm sorry!" Ye Jiuchen looked deeply at Dongfang Wan'er, his eyes filled with remorse. He took her hand and held it tightly in his.

"Ah, why are you apologizing? What have you done to wrong me!" Dongfang Wan'er was very confused. She didn't know why Ye Jiuchen wanted to apologize to her, and she felt that she hadn't done anything wrong.
