Hearing this name, the emptiness in Yan Qing's eyes slowly dissipated, and her thoughts gradually returned. Her memory stopped at the time when she fell into a coma after Jiang Huaixu left.

The room was warm with silvery charcoal burning.

The window was propped up with a wooden stick to create a small gap, probably for ventilation, and a drizzle could be vaguely seen, as if it was still early morning and she had just woken up from her coma.

But Yan Qing knew that this was impossible. She paused for a moment before asking, "How long has it been?"

Fuyun's eyes were still filled with worry, and he replied respectfully, "Your Highness, it has been a day and a night."

Yan Qing was a little speechless. It took shorter time than she expected.

The situation was dangerous this time, and Yan Qing had not expected that the 'Bone-Eating Powder' would trigger an uproar in the 'Yang Chun Bai Xue' in his body, so his previous preparations were not sufficient.

She realized something was wrong the moment she fell into a coma, but the poison had already taken effect and she could only leave the rest to fate. Fortunately, this was not the worst outcome yet.

wrong……

Yan Qing frowned slightly and felt the situation inside his body. The two toxins in his body surprisingly stabilized.

Even the pain from the heart meridian has dissipated a lot. This cannot be explained by self-healing. It must be achieved with external interference.

She was just about to ask Fuyun if anyone had been there, but out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of Lin Huaigu who had retreated to a corner at some point.

Yan Qing's eyes paused, and she understood why she woke up so quickly. She thought that her condition must not have been very good at that time, so Fu Yun called Lin Huaigu here.

She was wary of this man's medical skills, so it was not surprising that he could stabilize the toxins in her body.

This only proved that Lin Huaigu already knew all his secrets. Yan Qing's eyes darkened for a moment, and the emotions in his eyes were unclear.

Lin Huaigu also noticed Yan Qing's gaze. He stepped forward and bowed. His hands tightened again and again under his wide sleeves, but his voice remained gentle and calm.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. How do you feel now?"

There was a sense of broken coldness on Yan Qing's pale face, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.

"I feel very well, and I have to thank Doctor Lin for his amazing healing skills."

She emphasized the last four words, revealing an unknown meaning.

Fuyun seemed to remember that there was another person in the room. He stood aside, his eyes fixed on Lin Huaigu as if they were real, with a chilling look in them.

Lin Huaigu was stunned at first by Yan Qing's smiling eyes, and the strange emotion became more and more turbulent, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

It was not until Fu Yun's cold gaze swept over him that he suppressed his sudden emotion and came back to his senses. He also noticed the meaningful second half of Yan Qing's sentence.

Lin Huaigu's heart trembled, and he immediately realized that this was another test from Yan Qing.

He didn't dare to be distracted anymore and immediately put all his energy into dealing with it.

He said respectfully: "Since I will stay in the mansion to take care of Your Highness's health in the future, these are all my duties. I don't deserve Your Highness' thanks."

This was to remind Yan Qing that he had said before that he would stay in the princess's mansion, so he would never spread the news. This was also another way of showing loyalty.

Yan Qing looked at Lin Huaigu's expression when he said this. He seemed to be very sincere and tactful.

This accident did change Yan Qing's mind. He thought that no matter how careful he was, there would always be a loophole. It would be better to keep a doctor who could be of use to him.

Lin Huaigu is a good doctor and has no extra curiosity about the toxins in her body, so he is a good candidate.

Thinking of this, Yan Qing asked calmly, "Doctor Lin, are you willing to be the palace physician of this palace?"

Lin Huaigu's heartbeat quickened, but his face showed no sign of it.

He bowed deeply and said, "I am willing to serve Your Highness."

There is a difference between just staying in the mansion and working in the princess's mansion. The former is a chess piece that can be abandoned at will, while the latter proves that Yan Qing trusts him.

Thinking of the reason why he came to the princess's mansion, Lin Huaigu's eyes couldn't help but darken a little. He warned himself in his heart not to be anxious. It has been so long and he must not make any mistakes at this moment.

He speculated that the princess's mansion was the most likely place for that person to appear. If that person was here, he would find him sooner or later.

Even if he wasn't there, Yan Qing should know something about that person.

Hearing Lin Huaigu's answer, Yan Qing smiled more sincerely: "In that case, I will send someone to ask His Majesty to bring you here. If there is a need in the future, I will send someone to Tingxuan Pavilion to invite Doctor Lin."

Lin Huaigu paused. His Highness was tantamount to an order to expel him, but he was not discouraged. It would be unreasonable for him to trust him so immediately. However, he still had some things to explain before leaving.

"Although the toxins in your Highness' body have been stabilized, the poisoning is too deep and I'm afraid it won't last long. Fighting poison with poison is not a long-term solution. If you're not careful, it will backfire."

Yan Qing nodded and said, "I understand."

The poison in her body had no antidote, so it was good that she could hold on for a while longer, so that she could also take better care of Shi Yu.

Seeing that Yan Qing's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't care at all that he had not much time left, Lin Huaigu pursed his lips, but couldn't stay any longer, so he could only take his leave.

After Lin Huaigu left, Fuyun talked about what happened after Yan Qing fell into a coma, and also explained why Lin Huaigu appeared here.

Only after he had said everything did he half-kneel in front of Yan Qing to plead guilty.

"I brought Doctor Lin here without permission. Your Highness, please punish me."

Although there are reasons for this, it is not a reason for him to act on his own.

Yan Qing asked the man to get up helplessly and said, "This time it was sudden. If you hadn't gone to find Lin Huaigu, I might not have survived this disaster."

Fuyun's eyes were filled with mixed emotions. He said softly, "If the master were still here, he wouldn't want to see Your Highness put himself in danger."

Yan Qing's crow-feather eyelashes drooped slightly, and then she laughed a little. The emperor brother should not care.

But it doesn’t matter. She already owes her royal brother a lot, and now she is just repaying his kindness.

Yan Qing did not continue the topic, but instructed: "Send someone to observe Lin Huaigu in the next two days. It would be best if there is no unusual movement. If there is any unusual movement, have someone deal with it."

Fuyun lowered his head and replied: "Yes."

If this person makes any unusual moves, he will definitely deal with him personally.

Yan Qing half closed her eyes. After talking for a while, she felt a little exhausted.

"Is there any movement from the Zhenbei King?"

Fuyun's light-colored pupils sank slightly. After His Highness fell into a coma, he had been busy looking after His Highness' condition and had no time to take care of other things, so he relaxed his surveillance of the Regent's Palace.

"I failed in my duty and did not go to inquire about the situation."

Yan Qing sighed, knowing that Fu Yun had relaxed his investigation into the Zhenbei Palace because he wanted to take care of him.

She was silent for a while, with a somewhat obscure look in her eyes as she gave Fuyun an order.

"You go to the Zhenbei Palace and keep an eye on him. If the Zhenbei Prince goes to the outskirts of Beijing tomorrow, send someone to secretly rob and kill him, regardless of life or death."

Fuyun raised his head immediately, his expression behind the mask sternly: "Your Highness cannot do without someone by his side, I will send someone else to go."

Yan Qing cast a glance over, without any emotion: "If you can't be of any use to me, you don't have to stay with me."

Fuyun's whole body was tense, and the dark mist brewing in his eyes made his light-colored pupils a little darker.

He insisted: "The toxin in your body is not stable, and the master asked me to stay to protect you."

She tightened her fingertips, but her voice softened a bit: "This matter is of great importance, I only trust you."

Fuyun's original persistence collapsed in an instant.

His Highness said that he only trusted him, so he absolutely could not let His Highness down.

"Subordinates take orders."
