ASTRP -Chapter 185 After the Drug Took Effect on Jingge, the Original Owner’s Sealed Memories Emerged

Su Xiu could also guess Xiao Jinghan’s concerns, but…

“If we don’t summon the imperial physicians, then no ordinary doctor can compare to them.”

“But if Jingge tells the imperial physicians that she isn’t actually the eldest miss of the Feng family… then everything will be over, won’t it?”

This was a secret that absolutely could not be exposed for the whole world to know.

“If something happens to Jingge, won’t Feng Yunxiao immediately strike?”

“Don’t forget, the Feng family has long been wishing for something to happen to Jingge. Right now…”

“Send people out quietly to search for famous doctors. Quickly!”

“…Alright.”

Su Xiu and Qing Shan left together to search for skilled physicians, while Ning An guarded the door.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jinghan stayed in the room the entire time, watching over Feng Jingge.

The physician from the manor said that, judging from her pulse, Feng Jingge’s condition appeared stable for now.

However, they could sense that her thoughts were extremely active, as though she were constantly dreaming.

“When will she wake up?”

“Th-this… we don’t even know what kind of drug it is, so this lowly one…”

“Get out!”

Xiao Jinghan still held Feng Jingge in his arms, not daring to put her down.

He feared that if he let go, something might happen to her.

Or what if she wanted to bite him again and couldn’t?

Feng Jingge’s head hurt terribly.

The original owner Feng Jingge’s memories surged chaotically, without any timeline at all.

One moment she was a five- or six-year-old child.

The next moment she became a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl.

One moment the Feng family was bullying her.

The next, she was leaning against a young man.

The youth wore black robes and clothing from Wu Xing Kingdom.

Sometimes she let out soft groans.

Sometimes she cried out in pain.

Xiao Jinghan had no idea what to do.

Even when he placed his hand near her mouth, she no longer bit him.

You must be suffering terribly right now…

I can’t bear the pain in your place. I’m sorry… I’m sorry…

If possible, Xiao Jinghan would rather suffer himself than let Feng Jingge endure pain.

“Jingge… don’t scare me…”

He was terrified something would happen to Feng Jingge.

Terrified she would suddenly return to her own world.

Just like his mother had.

He summoned Prince Yu and instructed him to investigate exactly what the Empress Dowager intended to do.

If Feng Jingge suffered because of her, then he would no longer spare her simply because she was Xiao Yu’s mother.

He definitely would not let her off!

Although Prince Yu did not want to see the Empress Dowager, he still went.

The next day, he returned with news.

It was a kind of drug used to control people.

And there was an antidote.

However, the Empress Dowager had conditions before she would hand it over.

“What conditions?”

“She wants Imperial Uncle… to test a drug.”

“A drug capable of controlling people’s minds.”

When Prince Yu said those words, turmoil surged inside him.

One hand hidden behind his back clenched tighter and tighter.

He suddenly wondered—

Would he never be allowed to have someone he liked in the future?

If one day he favored the person he loved even a little more, would he also be treated like this…

Heh.

Test the drug?!

A drug that could control a person’s will.

She wanted to control him.

“Imperial Uncle, I think the Empress Dowager isn’t telling the whole truth.”

“Because the first thing she did was ask me about Imperial Aunt’s condition.”

“It looked like Imperial Aunt’s symptoms were beyond her expectations, so the Empress Dowager took a step back and instead threatened you, Imperial Uncle.”

Xiao Jinghan held Feng Jingge’s hand.

“Stop wasting words. Continue.”

Prince Yu suppressed a breath.

“The Empress Dowager said the drug she wants Imperial Uncle to test isn’t fatal.”

“It’ll probably just control people, making Imperial Uncle obedient…”

“If Imperial Uncle refuses, then the imperial physicians won’t come save Imperial Aunt.”

Xiao Jinghan narrowed his eyes.

He said nothing.

He merely told Prince Yu to leave.

Prince Yu frowned.

“Imperial Uncle, are you going?”

“Are you really… going to test the drug?”

Xiao Jinghan remained silent, only holding Feng Jingge’s hand in his palms.

“Imperial Uncle, I know you really like Imperial Aunt, but you can’t truly sacrifice yourself for a woman and—”

“Get out!”

Xiao Jinghan’s expression turned icy cold.

Prince Yu did not dare continue speaking and finally stormed away angrily.

But in truth, even Prince Yu himself did not know why he was angry.

He did not dislike Feng Jingge.

He simply did not want Xiao Jinghan sacrificing himself because of a woman.

If anything happened to Xiao Jinghan, then the Empress Dowager would seize complete power.

At that point, nobody would live well…

Including himself.

Thinking of this, Prince Yu felt he should come up with a way to help his royal uncle.

The Emperor!

He thought of Xiao Yu, then immediately strode toward the imperial palace.

After that, more and more physicians came to check Feng Jingge’s pulse.

Sure enough, Feng Jingge occasionally muttered in her sleep.

Whenever Xiao Jinghan heard her, afraid she might expose the truth, he would hurriedly cover her mouth.

This could work with common physicians.

But could it work before imperial physicians?!

After those doctors left, Xiao Jinghan immediately released his hand again.

All the physicians said they had no solution.

They only knew Feng Jingge’s nerves seemed damaged, leaving them helpless.

Xiao Jinghan also did not dare let those doctors randomly prescribe medicine for Feng Jingge.

Thus, three days passed.

Xiao Jinghan felt himself collapsing bit by bit.

Holding Feng Jingge in his arms, he spoke softly, “Jingge… This Prince is conflicted.”

“It’s not that This Prince is unwilling to test the drug for you. But if, after testing it, This Prince truly becomes controlled…”

“If the Empress Dowager wants to harm you… and This Prince can no longer protect you… what then…”

Xiao Jinghan suffered no matter which choice he made.

He lifted a hand and gently stroked Feng Jingge’s face.

“This Prince was wrong. This Prince failed you… This Prince was too greedy, always wanting to keep you by my side…”

“If not for This Prince’s greed, you wouldn’t have been poisoned.”

Xiao Jinghan felt the greatest mistake he had made was failing to guard against the Empress Dowager from the beginning.

But Feng Jingge could not hear any of his words.

Nor did she know Xiao Jinghan was grieving for her.

She wandered endlessly through the ocean of memories.

Her personal maid, A’Xiu, was the one who poisoned her.

But whose orders had A’Xiu obeyed?

Then the scene suddenly shifted—

It was when Feng Jingge was twelve years old.

At that time, Wu Xing Kingdom had come to Jing Kingdom to offer tribute.

A young man dressed in black knelt devoutly on the ground, holding the kingdom’s specialties in his hands.

He was a prince of Wu Xing Kingdom.

This person appeared many times throughout Feng Jingge’s memories.

Was this the so-called “master”?

Not Shen Fufeng?

At the time, Feng Yunxiao and Feng Mingyue were arrogant and overbearing.

Feng Jingge had become drunk and collapsed on the table.

Yet the Feng family actually planned to offer her to the foreign envoy.

They thought Feng Jingge had fallen asleep and heard nothing.

But Feng Jingge heard everything clearly.

They said that even if she realized she had been violated afterward, she would not dare say anything.

Yet the envoy refused.

He said that although Feng Jingge was a useless waste, she still should not be ruined so casually.

But the Feng family instead slandered Feng Jingge as shameless and improper in every possible way.

Seeing the Feng family’s ugly faces, Feng Jingge could not help biting her lip.

Then the scene changed again.

Feng Yunxiao and that black-clothed youth were tangled together against a wall.

The young man tried to push her away, but he seemed drugged and had no strength at all.

“Feng Yunxiao, you are still an unmarried young lady, and you haven’t even had your coming-of-age ceremony yet. I myself have not yet reached adulthood either… We cannot do this.”

The youth desperately tried to push her away, but he truly lacked the strength.

Even Feng Jingge, merely watching the memory, became furious.
