Su Qian turned her head in surprise to look at Dong Yan behind her. Su Qian happened to see this person slip and fall the steps. The basin in his hand flew out and the warm water inside spilled all over the ground.

Perhaps Dong Yan was frightened, but his eyes widened in shock as he looked at Su Qian.

“It’s not a big deal, right?” Su Qian saw Dong Yan jump up from the ground like a carp and asked in confusion, “Are you okay?”

“He’s fine. Come over.” Xiao Yan’s indifferent voice came from within the door.

Su Qian nodded and stepped over the threshold into the room, leaving Dong Yan standing there helplessly and trembling.

He didn’t hear wrongly, did he? His Highness actually agreed to Miss Su’s treatment of his legs?

Dong Yan knew very well what was going on with his master’s legs. Just thinking about it made him fearful. He quickly chased after his master into the room and stood at the side to watch obediently.

“Your Highness, do you usually not feel anything in your legs or below your waist?” Su Qian squatted down and pinched Xiao Yan’s legs as she asked.

Su Qian’s soft hands seemed to possess some magical power. Xiao Yan’s body stiffened slightly, and his eyes darkened. “I can’t feel my legs. As for the other parts, they’re perfectly healthy.”

Su Qian felt that Xiao Yan emphasized the word ‘healthy’. She glanced at Xiao Yan and said in a gratified tone, “In that case, the treatment will be relatively easier. Your Highness, please extend your hand to me.”

Xiao Yan obediently cooperated, and Su Qian raised her hand to take his pulse.

Su Qian’s actions immediately made Dong Yan break out in a cold sweat.

Su Qian felt Xiao Yan’s strong and powerful pulse and was surprised that a person who often sat for long periods could have such a pulse.

Carefully examining Xiao Yan’s pulse, Su Qian frowned and took a deep breath. “Your Highness, your legs, they aren’t sick.”

Dong Yan’s heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself that this was bad, and his legs almost went weak.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan remained calm and raised his head to ask Su Qian, “Huh? Why wouldn’t they be sick?”

“I should be the one asking Your Highness. Your legs appear perfectly fine based on your pulse.” Su Qian looked at Xiao Yan suspiciously and narrowed her eyes. “Moreover, Your Highness has been paralyzed for many years. Logically speaking, your legs should have atrophied from lack of movement. But the muscles on your legs are firm and strong, not resembling those of a paralyzed person…”

Su Qian stopped at this point. She stared straight at Xiao Yan and almost asked, Your Highness, are you pretending?

Under Su Qian’s scrutinizing gaze, Xiao Yan nodded calmly. “That’s right. You can’t tell anything abnormal from my pulse.”

“What do you mean?” Su Qian frowned in confusion and asked.

“My legs are paralyzed not because of injury, but because of poisoning. When I was ten years old, someone wanted to kill me and poison me. Although I was lucky enough to survive, my legs started to have problems. From the beginning, I was weak to the point where 1 couldn’t walk, and gradually, I couldn’t stand up.”

Su Qian pursed her lips when she saw Xiao Yan looking into the distance as he spoke. “But your pulse shows no sign of poisoning.”

“Speaking of which, this is the strangest part of the poison in my body. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been practicing detoxification all these years. The poison within me has been counteracted and transformed into an illness. Only when the illness flares up will there be signs in my pulse. When there are no symptoms, it’s no different from an ordinary person. Even if you take my pulse, you won’t find anything unusual.”

Su Qian was shocked.. “There’s such a poison in this world?”
