Chapter 28: Don’t Poke My Face

Shen Tingyu hid in the dark and heard Doctor Mi's words clearly.

She recalled that there seemed to be a pair of such cannon fodder miracle doctors in the original novel, but their identities were not as commonly said, but there was another hidden story.

Since they are cannon fodder characters, their endings are not very good, as if one of them died at the hands of a tyrant.

The original novel gave too little description of them, and she knew only a limited amount of the relevant plot.

However, according to the timeline, they have now settled in a small town she knows.

Xin Hongying flicked her sleeves and let him go: "Alright, go away now. Don't tell anyone a word about what happened today."

"I, your humble servant, will remember this and keep the secret until I die." Doctor Mi pursed his lips, nodded wisely, and fled away.

When he left, the back of his clothes was soaked with cold sweat. He carried the medicine box and walked away easily, feeling relieved. This time, his life was successfully saved.

"Fairy, what do you think after hearing this?"

Xin Hongying looked at Shen Tingyu, who was dazed for a while with her chin in her hand. She was not used to her quiet appearance. "What are you thinking about, fairy?"

"Are you listening?"

Suddenly, her cheek was poked by a pair of big hands. Shen Tingyu was stunned, and one side of her cheek was slightly dented.

Shen Tingyu:???

“What are you doing!”

She finally came to her senses, pushed the finger away, and said fiercely: "Even if you are in a bad mood, you are not allowed to poke this fairy's face."

That slight force didn't feel like a push, but rather a hug. Xin Hongying's lips curled up slightly, and the heavy mood that had been heavy for a long time began to ripple a little at this moment.

With a faint smile in her eyes, "The fairy means that when I am in a good mood, I can poke your cheek."

Finally seeing him smile, Shen Tingyu's face was puffed up, but in his heart he was secretly relieved.

She slapped his fingers away with a snap. "You wish! You are not allowed to poke me at any time. Doesn't this fairy have any dignity?"

Xin Hongying: "What were you thinking about just now, Fairy?"

"What I was thinking just now is not important." She snorted in dissatisfaction, crossed her arms, and raised her eyebrows frivolously: "What's important is that this fairy has a way to help you find the great doctor."

"Fairy, do you have a solution?" Xin Hongying laughed as he looked at the smug expression on her face.

Shen Tingyu raised her head slightly, “Of course this fairy has a way.”

A strange light flashed in Xin Hongying's eyes.

Shen Tingyu said with a serious expression: “I can use magic to track down the whereabouts of the great and small doctors myself.”

In person! ?

Xin Hongying's face darkened, and his slightly better mood turned unhappy again. He asked in a cold voice: "Fairy, you mean... you want to go find it yourself."

Ignoring his gloomy expression, Shen Tingyu nodded, “That’s right.”

Since the day he discovered the identity of the Imperial Master, except when he was in court, he had become accustomed to Shen Tingyu being by his side, whether it was reviewing memorials, playing chess, or other things.

Xin Hongying didn't want him to leave her, but she didn't think so.

A layer of watery gray mist covered his dark eyes, making them look less and less real the more he looked. "Fairy, please estimate the general location, and I will send secret guards to search for it."

Shen Tingyu complained silently in her heart, it was useless, the secret guards couldn't find them, because they would disguise themselves to change their appearance, so their whereabouts would be unpredictable.

They are not the sisters rumored in the rumors at all. What the imperial physician said was just a disguise.

Shen Tingyu shook her head: “Now my magic power is weak, so I must go and find it myself to find the trace.”

His gaze lingered on her for a moment, Xin Hongying bent down, his slender fingers hovering straight above her head, he hesitated slightly, and spoke meaningfully.

"The fairy is currently... unable to move freely. If we were to search outside, I'm afraid it would be very inconvenient."

Shen Tingyu stared at his actions blankly, her eyes suddenly widened, as if she had been insulted, "You are looking down on this fairy."

She snorted coldly and stood there with anger. Although her size was indeed a little smaller now, she was not a real voodoo doll.

She was so energetic and could be found anywhere. Besides, Xin Hongying went to court every day, and it was boring for her to stay alone. She didn't want to follow him to court and listen to the ministers quarreling.

Now that she has finally found the direction of the mission, the sooner she can remove the poison from his body, the sooner she can be free.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the bunch of wild fruits that this fairy gave you?"

"I remember!" Xin Hongying certainly remembered. The wild fruit was non-toxic and sweet. It was soaked with the rain water brought by Shen Tingyu, and he always remembered the taste.

"Then do you still remember that sparrow?" Shen Tingyu nodded, opened his arms, and drew a circle in the air, "It's as big as me... this big."

Xin Hongying's Adam's apple rolled up and down as he recalled the way he tilted his head that day, a small gesture that touched his heart. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Shen Tingyu said proudly: "That's my mount."

What's her mount? That... fat sparrow?

The immortal's mount was not a tall and intimidating mount like a crane, the king of beasts, or a rhinoceros, but a tiny sparrow.

Phew... Xin Hongying couldn't help laughing out loud. He was so cute. His hearty smile dispelled the coldness in him.

Stunned by the sudden laughter, Shen Tingyu was stunned. She was angry: "Is it funny?"

"Don't laugh at Big Sparrow."

Xin Hongying's cold eyebrows curved, "Da Que'er! Is that the name of the fairy's mount? It's so straightforward and cute."

When she thought of the corners of his eyes that were wet and red from crying, Shen Tingyu softened her heart for a moment and slightly forgave his unreasonable laughter.

Forget it! Don't be angry with him.

"You go and deal with Concubine Yu, and I'll go find a miracle doctor for you. We'll split up and remove the Gu from your body as soon as possible." Shen Tingyu put her hands on her hips, full of ambition, and she cared about the Gu in his body more than he did.

"No!" The tone left no room for denial.

The smile in Xin Hongying's eyes faded. "It's just a little sparrow. Anyone with sharp eyes can see it at a glance. Its identity is extremely easy to be exposed. It can't protect you at all."

"Don't fairies care most about their own identities?"

He tried to dissuade her from the idea.

Shen Tingyu did not respond. She had thought about the problems he mentioned and knew them clearly in her heart, but the whereabouts of the great and small doctors were unpredictable. They only appeared once when Concubine Yu returned to the palace.

If she loses this opportunity, when will Xin Hongying's poison be cured and when will she be able to have a body again?

She turned her body sideways, not daring to look into Xin Hongying's eyes. She was really not good at rejecting other people's concern, especially since Xin Hongying had saved her before.

"It's too dangerous! I will never allow it."

Shen Tingyu was delighted. Xin Hongying was such a perceptive person that he saw through her at a glance. His face grew colder, and his aura was intimidating. "No sparrow can fly out of the palace. It's better for the fairy to stay by my side."

"Don't even think about sneaking out of the palace. I'm doing this for the fairy's safety."

Only he himself knew that it was entirely out of his selfishness and he didn't want her to leave his side.
