My Princess Holds Superpowers

Prince Jing nodded, "Yes, those assassins have been severely tortured. We found that we could wake them up by stimulating them with pain, but..."

Prince Jing looked at Ye Jiu lying on the bed and fell into a quandary.

At the same time, Ye Gaosheng's gaze also shifted to Ye Jiu.

They could be woken up through pain stimulation, so...

Is that why his little sister ended up looking like a hedgehog?

Ye Gaosheng rubbed his cheeks, trying to stay calm, and said, "I think, I know how to wake up my sister."

In an instant, Prince Jing, along with Mr. and Mrs. Ye, all turned their eyes to Ye Gaosheng, the intensity making him shiver all over.

"You have a way?" Prince Jing asked gravely.

"Yes." Ye Gaosheng was somewhat intimidated by Prince Jing's stare. He slowly moved to the window beside Ye Jiu, then took out a small box from his bosom and opened it.

Inside the small box was a pill sealed in a thin membrane and a bottle of medicine. Ye Gaosheng took out the medicine directly, intending to drip it into Ye Jiu's mouth.

Unfortunately, Prince Jing stopped him. "What is this?"

Helplessly, Ye Gaosheng had to explain first, "This is the 'Sleeping Drug' and its antidote, both left to me by my sister for self-protection. I always carry them with me in case of danger. If I'm not mistaken, the reason my sister and the assassins are all unconscious is that they have been affected by the 'Sleeping Drug' from her hands. If she takes this antidote, she will be fine."

Prince Jing carefully recalled the scene at that time, when Ye Jiu was tightly held by the assassins, a knife pressed against her neck. Even the slightest movement was dangerous, let alone mounting any resistance.

So, Ye Jiu had already been secretly releasing the 'Sleeping Drug' at that time, but she didn't have a chance to take the antidote herself and was unable to explain the situation to Prince Jing, leading to her incapacitating herself along with the assassins?

Thinking this way, everything seemed to fit together and make sense.

With a speculative look, Prince Jing let go of Ye Gaosheng's hand, "Are you sure about this? If she has any problems after taking this medicine..."

The threat in Prince Jing's voice was thick, yet Ye Gaosheng just pursed his lips in silence.

This was just a common antidote. Even if his sister didn't wake up, it wouldn't poison her.

Moreover, it was his little sister lying on the bed. Wasn't he more worried than Prince Jing could ever be?

He was still warning himself. If his little sister encountered any trouble here, he, as her brother, hadn't even said anything yet. So what right did Prince Jing have to fuss? Was it just because of his noble status?

However, when he thought about it again, wasn't it precisely because of Prince Jing's status?

Ye Gaosheng might be aggrieved, but at this moment, saving Ye Jiu was the most important thing. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he had to set it aside.

Ignoring Prince Jing, Ye Gaosheng sat by the bed, gently pried open Ye Jiu's chin with his hand, and then dropped the medicine into her mouth.

A few seconds passed, and Ye Jiu's eyelids first twitched, then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she slowly opened her eyes.

Her pupils, long accustomed to the darkness, felt a slight discomfort when exposed to the dim light. She instinctively wanted to rub them.

However, she was stopped quickly by Ye Gaosheng, who caught her hand, "Careful, you've been turned into a hedgehog. Don't touch the needles on your body!"

"What?" Ye Jiu was bewildered by Ye Gaosheng's words. She turned her head, and seeing Prince Jing and her parents, she was so startled that she wanted to get up.
