Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 566: It’s Either You Die or I Perish (2)

"Excessive?" Dugu Chen seemed rather surprised as he turned to look at Feng Xuxu beside him. He pointed at himself and asked her, "Am I being excessive?"

Feng Xuxu stifled a laugh and shook her head vigorously, "No, not at all."

"You heard her, I’m not being excessive, and since you can’t meet my demands, there’s no need for me to provide treatment. Just load that one hundred thousand taels of gold onto the carriage for the Divine Doctor; I will take my leave and go back to prepare the medicine pills." He shook off the long robe from his legs, stood up, and made as if he were ready to leave.

Prince Fu glared at him furiously, a mouthful of old blood stuck in his chest, neither going down nor coming up, forcibly caught in his throat.

The Hidden Guards in the shadows were even more resentful towards Dugu Chen, hating him to the point of wanting to tear him apart, for they had unwittingly brought this deadly disaster upon themselves.

Dugu Chen merely raised his eyebrows with a slight smile and glanced at Prince Fu, then turned and walked away without any hesitation.

"I agree to it," Prince Fu said tersely, yet the words were immensely heavy, his voice even colder.

Dugu Chen’s footsteps faltered slightly, he half-turned, smiling at him, "The Divine Doctor hasn’t seen fresh blood in a long time, almost forgetting its taste."

Prince Fu, driven to fury, let out a cynical laugh, "Coincidentally, your Highness may not have smelled that sweet scent for some time now. Today, let’s indulge the Divine Doctor with that scent."

Prince Fu stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his expression extremely cold. Seeing the Divine Doctor emerge, he called out his own Hidden Guard. Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground, the ordinarily unflappable Prince Fu now had his face twitch slightly, and the Hidden Guard’s complexion turned ashen. They shut their eyes, awaiting the moment of death.

"You’ve heard it yourselves, it’s not this prince asking for your lives." His voice was somewhat desolate, somewhat helpless, and even held a trace of resentment.

"Master, we don’t blame you. It is an honor for us to save the Princely Heir," they said.

Prince Fu gave a bitter smile, "Will you take your own lives, or shall this prince end them for you?"

The two kneeling exchanged a glance, ultimately choosing to take their own lives rather than let their master feel guilty. They bowed deeply, and then each drew their sword from their waists and cut their own throats. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Are you satisfied now?"

"How could this satisfy the Divine Doctor? Aren’t you satisfied as well?"

Prince Fu recoiled in anger, grinding his teeth. Thinking of the Princely Heir inside, he finally calmed his emotions, "Prepare the medicine. The mansion has a full stock of medicinal herbs."

"Hmph, the Divine Doctor hates being ordered around the most, even by a prince," Dugu Chen narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly to the disgruntled Prince Fu.

"Don’t be ungrateful. This is Prince Fu Residence," Prince Fu reminded Divine Doctor Yin Nan.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Chen grew angry, interpreting it as a veiled threat. He then scornfully retorted, "Hmph, so what? If you push the Divine Doctor too far, I’ll annihilate you all the same."

Seeing the shift in his demeanor becoming instantly menacing and the pressure he emanated turning terrifyingly low, the murderous aura around him exploding, his clothes billowing without wind, Prince Fu realized that he was not the benign figure he appeared to be. Indeed, as the outside world claimed, he was capricious, sometimes reasonable, sometimes illogical, and occasionally even beyond reason.

Seeing that Prince Fu remained silent, Dugu Chen curved his thin lips, "Load those one hundred thousand taels of gold onto the carriage and send it outside the city. The Divine Doctor will collect it personally."

"Fine, but what about the Princely Heir?" After pausing briefly, he asked with a hoarse voice.

"When you have the rest of the gold ready, the medicine will naturally be delivered," Dugu Chen glanced sideways at Prince Fu and left with Feng Xuxu following behind.

As Prince Fu watched them leave with a dark expression, he wanted to kill them but was helpless to do so.
