When Song Wanqing heard Lin Dao come in, she quickly wiped her tears and sorted out her emotions.
"Master, why are you here again so soon?" She tried her best to raise the corners of her mouth to make herself look normal.
Xiao Jiuan was lying there at this moment, with her life and death uncertain, and if she, as his doctor, showed her cowardly side, wouldn't she scare the others to death?
"I asked the kitchen to make some snacks. You can eat some when you are hungry." Lin Dao put the things on the table.
He didn't see anything unusual about Song Wanqing, but he noticed that her eyes were very red, "Why are your eyes so red? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Really?" Song Wanqing smiled and put it off, "Maybe it's because I stayed up late, it's okay."
"You don't have to stand up all the time. If you feel too sleepy, just squint for a while." Lin Dao said with concern.
"Okay, master, don't worry, I know what's going on." Song Wanqing twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Then I'll go guard outside first. Call me if you need anything. Remember to eat snacks." Lin Dao told him again before turning around and leaving.
As soon as he went out, he saw a dark figure standing outside, which startled him, "Who is it?"
"Me!" Zhimo walked out of the shadows. Under the moonlight, his expression was clear and cold, "You are not very observant, and your vigilance is also problematic."
"Smelly ink, there's something wrong with you..." Lin Dao opened his mouth and cursed.
Zhimo continued, "However, you have a good eye for people."
"What?" This was the first time Lin Dao heard Zhi Mo say that he had advantages. He really felt like he had seen a ghost, "You...who are you? Stinky Mo, don't scare me!"
"Idiot!" Zhimo glanced at the direction of the door, turned around and came to the corridor, leaning against the pillar with his eyes closed.
Lin Dao suspected that he had just heard wrongly. He took a few steps over and sat casually on the steps, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
"I'm not sleepy!" Zhimo still had his eyes closed.
"Then I'll go back. You can watch from here." Lin Dao gestured to get up and leave.
"How dare you!" Zhimo said coldly.
Lin Dao curled his lips, "Yes, I don't dare. I don't dare to disobey Master Zhi Mo's order."
"..." Zhimo didn't bother to pay attention.
After a while, he spoke again, "Your Majesty's situation this time may not be simple."
"What do you mean?" Lindao was furious, "Are you still suspicious of Miss Wanqing?"
Zhimo continued, but his tone was a little unnatural, "I was on the roof just now and saw your little apprentice secretly crying inside."
"Ah?" Lin Dao was stunned for a moment, and then he was about to go in after he came to his senses.
Zhimo grabbed him and said, "What are you doing in there now? Do you want to put more pressure on her?"
Lin Dao looked at him in disbelief, "Smelly Mok, you...are you concerned about my little apprentice?"
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Zhimo's face, "You are overthinking, I'm just afraid it will affect the prince's treatment."
"Tch!" Lin Dao knew that this guy was telling what he meant, and he was happy in his heart, but he warned him seriously, "I tell you, that is my little apprentice, don't try to mess with her."
Just when Zhimo saw Song Wanqing hurriedly wiping her tears, he knew that he had misunderstood her. This little girl, like them, really cared about Xiao Jiu'an.
His voice was a bit playful, "I heard from the prince that Miss Wanqing wants to learn to read ledgers."
"Hey!" Lin Dao immediately became nervous, "She is my apprentice, you are not allowed to rob her!"
Zhimo pursed his lips indifferently, "Who wants to steal it? She wants to learn my skills but I don't want to teach them yet."
"It's best!" Lindao snorted, but seeing that Zhimo finally no longer misunderstood Song Wanqing, he was also happy for Song Wanqing.
Early the next morning, when Song Wanqing came out, he saw two people standing guard at the door.
She subconsciously asked, "Isn't Master on duty last night? Why is Lord Zhimo here too?"
She didn't expect to hear Zhimo's explanation, but she didn't expect Zhimo to take the initiative and say, "I can't trust that broken knife."
Song Wanqing's eyes widened unexpectedly.
"Stinky ink!" Lin Dao immediately counterattacked, "I still can't trust you! Just a little bit!"
In the next few days, Song Wanqing gradually discovered that Zhimo's attitude towards her was indeed different from before. Although it was not as warm as Lindao, at least he did not say anything about suspecting her of trying to frame Xiao Jiu'an.
However, what is even more surprising is that Xiao Jiuan woke up after being in a coma for seven days.
That morning, Song Wanqing still stayed in the room all night. After dawn, Lin Dao came in and called her to go back and catch up on her sleep.
"Miss Wanqing, breakfast is ready. Eat some and go back to sleep..." He was stuck in mid-sentence and looked at the person on the bed in shock, "Prince? Are you...are you awake?"
Song Wanqing was rubbing her eyes. After hearing this, she immediately turned her head and looked over. She was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.
Xiao Jiuan frowned, feeling that he had no strength, and said weakly, "I..."
Lin Dao burst into tears with excitement, turned around and ran out, "Stinky ink, stinky ink, the prince is awake, our prince is awake!"
"..." Xiao Jiuan looked helplessly at Song Wanqing, and saw that the little girl's eyes were red and looked like she was about to cry, "What? Could it be that I have been sleeping for half a year?"
"No, no." Song Wanqing quickly wiped her tears, "Ninth Prince, you only slept for seven days. For seven days, my little girl will feel your pulse immediately."
Soon, Lin Dao and Zhi Mo came back together. They didn't dare to say anything and waited quietly.
"Congratulations, Ninth Prince!" Song Wanqing took back her hand and knelt down with tears of joy, "Congratulations, Ninth Prince, the poison in your body has been completely eliminated."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Dao and Zhi Mo knelt down without saying a word, and at the same time raised their voices, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Jiuan struggled to sit up, "You all get up. If I can achieve this today, you three will be rewarded heavily. Tell me, what do you want?"
"Can you give me anything you want?" Lin Dao said bluntly, looking impatient.
Zhimo lowered his head and cursed softly, "What an idiot!"
Xiao Jiuan twitched his lips and said, "You can have whatever you want."
Lin Dao immediately said, "I want the secret book of "Thousand Swords Slash"."
"Okay." Xiao Jiu'an agreed, "You can go to the study to get it later."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Dao was extremely happy.
Xiao Jiuan looked at Zhimo again, "What about you? What do you want?"
"Back to the prince, I don't want anything from you. It is my honor to protect the prince." Zhimo continued to lower his head and spoke very sincerely.
"My lord, he wants the set of Yunyan in your warehouse," Lin Dao said from the side. "Every time he goes to the warehouse, he picks it up and looks at it for a long time."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhimo glared at Lin Dao.
Lin Dao sniffed and said, "It is."
Xiao Jiuan smiled and said, "Okay, reward!"
Finally, he looked at Song Wanqing and said, "Miss Wanqing, you have made the greatest contribution this time. What do you want?"
