The Sickly Regent Prince Who Was Abandoned as a Substitute Bride

Chapter 319 Ye Jiuchen Wakes Up

In that critical moment, Dongfang Wan'er anxiously entered the mysterious space. She saw that the spiritual spring water was still slightly murky, but she was too preoccupied with her anxiety to care about such minor flaws. Without hesitation, she quickly scooped up the spiritual spring water with both hands, parted her cherry lips slightly, chanted incantations, and used her mysterious and unique magic to pull the spiritual spring water out of the space with all her might.

Upon returning to Ye Jiuchen's side, Dongfang Wan'er quickly and carefully lifted his bloodless body, her eyes filled with worry and concern. With trembling hands, she slowly fed Ye Jiuchen the spiritual spring water, bit by bit. The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and everyone held their breath, watching this scene intently, afraid of missing any turning point.

Just moments later, a miracle occurred. Ye Jiuchen's previously deathly pale face gradually regained some color, and his weak and rapid breathing gradually calmed down. Upon seeing this, Dongfang Wan'er was so excited that she burst into tears of joy. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face as she tightly grasped Ye Jiuchen's hand, as if she were holding the most precious treasure in the world.

However, fate seems to love playing tricks. At this moment of ecstatic joy, Ye Jiuchen suddenly opened his eyes without warning, but his gaze was as cold as a deep abyss, so unfamiliar it sent a chill down one's spine. Dongfang Wan'er couldn't help but shiver; her joy was instantly replaced by an ominous premonition. It turned out that the treacherous enemy had already secretly planted an evil restriction within Ye Jiuchen's body. Although the spiritual spring water had miraculously saved his life, it had also unexpectedly activated the hidden restriction, causing him to lose his mind in that instant.

Ye Jiuchen abruptly grabbed Dongfang Wan'er's slender neck, the force so great that she couldn't breathe instantly. Everyone gasped in shock. On the brink of life and death, Dongfang Wan'er's eyes were filled with tears, but she didn't struggle at all. Suppressing her fear and pain, she softly called Ye Jiuchen's name in a voice filled with deep affection and longing. Each call was like the warm spring sun, trying to pierce the fog of the barrier and awaken the one she loved.

Perhaps it was the profound and unforgettable bond between them that created a magical power; gradually, Ye Jiuchen's cold and unfamiliar gaze began to soften, slowly regaining its former clarity. He seemed to awaken suddenly from a nightmare, quickly releasing his grip, his body collapsing heavily into Dongfang Wan'er's warm embrace due to weakness. Seeing this, everyone's hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled, and they breathed a long sigh of relief.

Dongfang Wan'er hugged Ye Jiuchen tightly, sobbing uncontrollably. After a long while, she managed to suppress her tears and whispered, "How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?" Ye Jiuchen shook his head slightly, his voice so weak it was almost inaudible: "I'm fine, Wan'er, all thanks to you."

People gathered around, asking all sorts of questions about Ye Jiuchen's condition. Ye Jiuchen gritted his teeth, forced his weak body to sit up, and said with determination and resolve in his eyes: "If this restriction is not resolved as soon as possible, it will definitely cause endless trouble in the future."

Dongfang Wan'er frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I once saw a method to lift a similar restriction in an ancient book that had been sealed away for a long time, but it requires finding an extremely rare thousand-year-old snow ginseng as a medicinal ingredient." Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed difficulty. This thousand-year-old snow ginseng has harsh growing conditions and is hard to find, so it is extremely rare.

But Ye Jiuchen clenched his fist without hesitation, his eyes flashing with determination: "No matter how difficult it is, even if we have to cross thousands of mountains and rivers, we must find it."
