"How could I not want my mother to get better?"
Xia Ziyi roared at Qin Yichen with a red face and neck, clearly agitated.
Every day when he returned to the Prince's Mansion, he would see his dejected father and his weak mother. How could he not feel heartache?
His parents were so loving, but why were the heavens so unfair? Why couldn't they live peacefully together for the rest of their lives?
Every time he saw his mother forcing a smile at him and his father, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
That was why he lost control when he heard Qin Yichen's words.
"Your Highness, perhaps I can help your mother."
Qin Yichen wasn't angry at him for roaring at him. On the contrary, he had a higher opinion of this Prince Xiao Yao.
Many people would give up their family, friendship, and even love for the sake of power and other things. However, Xia Ziyi's actions showed that he was a sentimental person.
This kind of person was worthy of Qin Yichen's friendship.
"You?"
Hearing this, Xia Ziyi was stunned. He woke up from his anger and looked at him in surprise. After a while, Xia Ziyi shook his head and said, "Impossible. My father had invited an expert before, but that expert had no clue about my mother's illness."
Within the Duchy, Prince Xiao Yao had sought out all the capable people.
Prince Xiao Yao had even spent a large amount of resources to invite an expert, but he couldn't even figure out the cause of Princess Xiao Yao's illness, let alone cure it.
Prince Xiao Yao was the most powerful Prince in the Duchy, but he could only watch as the woman he loved became thinner and thinner day by day, and her illness worsened. He couldn't do anything about it.
"Expert?"
Qin Yichen's lips curled into a proud smile, and the aura around him suddenly changed.
Expert?
There weren't many people in the world who could be called an expert in front of him, the Pill Saint.
He didn't believe that a mere Princess Xiao Yao's illness would be a problem for him.
At this moment, Xia Ziyi finally understood.
The young man in front of him was extraordinary!
Even though they were about the same age, all he did was pass on a set of alchemy techniques to the president of Dankai.
From this, it could be seen how extraordinary this palm technique was.
Moreover, during these days, Xia Ziyi had seen with her own eyes that President Hai, as the president of the Elixir Association, would ask Qin Yichen some questions from time to time. He looked like a student, and whenever he got an answer, President Hai would be inexplicably excited.
Furthermore, he was a Human Grade alchemist.
Perhaps, there really was hope?
Looking at the proud face of Qin Yichen, Xia Ziyi's heart raised such a thought.
"My mother, she …"
However, the moment he opened his mouth, he frowned and stammered, unwilling to continue.
"Does the Crown Prince have any hidden troubles?"
Qin Yichen could tell that Princess Xiaoyao's illness was not an ordinary one.
"I …"
Xia Ziyi opened his mouth. Finally, as if he had mustered up all his courage, he closed his eyes and said, "My mother's body is slowly disappearing!"
"Her body is disappearing?"
Qin Yichen was stunned.
He had never heard of an illness that would disappear slowly.
Then, from Xia Ziyi's description, he slowly understood that Princess Xiaoyao might not be sick, but there was something wrong with her body.
Her body was fading.
Like a shadow, it was slowly disappearing.
That was why Princess Xiaoyao stayed in Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion all year round and didn't step out for years.
This was also the reason why Prince Xiaoyao never invited anyone to treat Princess Xiaoyao's illness.
What kind of illness could cause someone's body to slowly disappear?
Qin Yichen frowned and paced back and forth in the room, pondering this question.
He had never encountered such a situation before.
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Xia Ziyi became anxious and asked, "Do you have a way to cure my mother?"
"Like a soul, it will disappear with the wind …"
Qin Yichen stopped and looked at him. Then, he said seriously, "I'm not sure either."
"So there's no way …"
Xia Ziyi slumped down, looking listless.
"When I said I'm not sure, I didn't mean there's no way!"
Qin Yichen couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
"What's the difference?"
Xia Ziyi looked up at him and asked in confusion.
"I'm not sure because I haven't seen Princess Xiaoyao in person, so I can't be sure about some things."
Qin Yichen said honestly. After a pause, he continued, "If I'm not wrong, Princess Xiaoyao's body is not the problem, but … her soul!"
The soul was the foundation of a person.
Logically speaking, if a person's soul had a problem, he or she should have died long ago.
However, Princess Xiaoyao had lived for decades.
This meant that her situation was special.
"Soul?"
Xia Ziyi became excited. Although the expert didn't have a clue and couldn't cure Princess Xiaoyao's illness, he did say that Princess Xiaoyao's illness wasn't the problem of her body.
If it wasn't the problem of her body, then it must be the problem of her soul!
Therefore, all these years, King Xiaoyao had been secretly collecting all kinds of spiritual herbs that could nourish the soul. That was why Princess Xiaoyao could live until today.
However, even with the nourishment of the herbs, Princess Xiaoyao was getting worse day by day.
"Do you really have a way?"
Xia Ziyi grabbed Qin Yichen's arm excitedly.
"I'm not sure yet."
Qin Yichen said impatiently.
Most importantly, he needed to see Princess Xiaoyao and confirm the cause of her illness before he could know if he could cure her.
"But my father doesn't allow outsiders to see my mother …"
Xia Ziyi was a little embarrassed by Qin Yichen's request.
"That's your problem."
Qin Yichen sat down comfortably and tasted the best tea from Dankai.
If King Xiaoyao could give up the throne and power for that woman, then he could do something else for that woman.
For example, he could support Xia Ziling to become the Crown Prince!
"I … I can bring you to see my father, but you have to convince my father to see my mother."
Xia Ziyi was helpless.
If he went to find his father, who had a fiery temper, and told him that a teenager could cure his mother's illness, he would probably be beaten up and thrown out of the house.
Because, this matter was too absurd to talk about.
"Alright!"
Of course, Qin Yichen knew his difficulties. "Tomorrow, I'll go see your father!"
