Qin Songmo's drooping eyebrows began to lift after hearing his little daughter's voice.
He watched his little daughter run to the desk where the medicine bowl was placed. Because she was not tall enough, he saw her standing on tiptoe to carefully reach the medicine bowl on the table.
While reaching for it, I also complain in my heart.
[What a ridiculous setting! Why is my dad, such a weak beauty, not only 1.88 meters tall, but also has a desk that high!]
Does the world look down on little potatoes? Don't they know little potatoes are the cutest?!
[Wow, even Meng Jiuan is 1.9 meters tall. I...if I can't reach 1.7 meters, wait until I get back! I will kill the author myself!]
Qin Songmo looked at his little daughter's behavior with amusement.
After hearing his little daughter say the word "author", he tilted his head, and his brows, which had just relaxed, wrinkled slightly again.
The medicine bowl was very hot, and the medicine juice was freshly boiled by Qingfeng and was very thick.
Li Shengyi deeply suspected that her father's throat would be blocked after drinking the medicine.
Li Shengyi carefully carried the medicine bowl to Qin Songmo and raised it in front of him. "Qingfeng asked you to drink the medicine just now, but you refused to drink it, right?"
"How can you get better without taking the medicine? The civil unrest in the Great Chu has not yet been quelled. How can you help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince build his empire without taking the medicine?"
"Daddy, drink the medicine obediently. I'll go find Qingfeng to get you some candied fruit, okay?"
"Besides, even though this medicine looks bitter, it's actually not bitter at all. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. I'll give you an example."
Qin Songmo has been taking medicine since he was a child. As a doctor after years of illness, he can guess what medicinal materials are used to make the medicine just by smelling it.
So after hearing his little daughter's soothing words, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? I don't believe it."
Li Shengyi: ...
???
Is this the line?
Shouldn't we say 'Daddy is not afraid of hardship'?
Li Shengyi's almond-shaped eyes widened, and his already cute appearance became even cuter because of this behavior.
She's so cute that you want to reach out and pinch her little face.
Words spoken are like water spilled.
Li Shengyi looked at the bitter-looking medicine in the bowl in his hand, then raised his eyes to look at Qin Songmo, whose complexion was gradually improving.
Immediately, her little face put on a determined look, "Then I'll take a small sip. If it's not bitter, Daddy has to drink all the medicine, okay?"
"It's not that I'm afraid of the bitterness. If I drink all the medicine, Qingfeng will have to make another one in the middle of winter at night. It's really troublesome for him."
Qin Songmo had suppressed the urge to cough.
He nodded, swallowed the sweet taste in his throat, and said with a smile, "Okay."
Li Shengyi only took a small sip of the bowl of medicine, and most of the rest fell into Qin Songmo's mouth.
Even this small sip of medicine almost made the patient cry out in pain.
It's too bitter.
It is more bitter than Coptis chinensis.
Just when she was about to ask Qingfeng for candied fruit with a sad face, she saw the man in front of her swallowing all the medicine without changing his expression.
Even his expression didn't change.
Then Li Shengyi saw him stand up and bring a bowl of pea yellow from the table beside him. His slender white fingers picked up a piece of pea yellow and brought it to her lips.
"Eat something sweet to wash it down."
Li Shengyi opened her mouth and bit off most of it. When her cheeks were filled to the brim, the bitter taste in her mouth was diluted a lot.
She looked at the pea yellow, then looked at Qin Songmo, whose pale complexion had not improved. She imitated his actions, grabbed a piece of pea yellow and put it to his mouth.
"Daddy eats too."
She could see that Qin Songmo actually liked sweets, but he had been restraining himself.
She didn't know what he had been through over the years that made him want to commit suicide.
Whenever she thought about how her favorite paper figures would eventually die, she felt sad.
The charcoal basin burned silently, and Li Shengyi sat back in Qin Songmo's arms.
It was a rare moment of tenderness between father and daughter, but Li Shengyi felt a little breathless.
"Daddy, can you please not die?"
A dark light flashed in Qin Songmo's black eyes. He was thinking about the next deployment. After hearing his little daughter's question, his expression froze.
He lowered his head to look at his little daughter who was playing with his brocade sleeves, and a silent smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "Life and death are determined by fate, and no one can stop the footsteps of death."
"Because you can't stop the march of death, you simply stop taking the medicine. A Hades King wants you dead at three o'clock in the morning, and you report to him at two o'clock?"
Qin Songmo sneered at his little daughter's words.
He raised his hand and patted her head, then said with a smile, "Who taught you all this? You've been staying in the palace these past two days. Have you fallen behind in your studies?"
Li Shengyi slapped his hand away and glared at him, "Don't change the subject. You won't get better if you don't take the medicine."
"You're almost thirty, why are you still not listening?"
Li Shengyi's cheek was pinched into a goldfish mouth, but he still glared at the person in front of him unyieldingly.
The younger daughter has always been disrespectful, and Qin Songmo has long been accustomed to her disrespect.
Now, hearing her scolding, he did not get angry but laughed, "Li Shengyi, between you and me, who is the father?"
Li Shengyi's cheeks were pinched, and his words were unclear. "If you feel like singing, you can also call me 'Dad'."
"Treason!"
Qin Songmo smiled.
Until the fingers pinching his cheeks loosened, Li Shengyi rubbed his little face and muttered, "It's like that, whoever has the ability becomes the father."
"Daddy, have you ever thought that there's nothing wrong with your body, and it's all just your mind that's causing all this trouble?"
"Heart disease needs heart medicine. I can cure it for you."
[Ha! Li Shengyi, you're really clever and smart. If someone's physically ill, just tell them they have a mental problem. As long as you give them enough psychological hints, their body will surely get better soon!]
Qin Songmo listened to his little daughter's words, but did not answer every question as he did before.
Because he had heard this many times.
Every doctor who took his pulse, including the imperial physician, said that he was in good health.
He himself knew that there was nothing wrong with his body, but that what was sick was his heart.
A soft sigh escaped from his throat, and Qin Songmo finally spoke in a low voice, "In that case, Shengyi, remember to cure Dad before leaving."
When facing his little daughter, he always felt unreal.
It was as if he had finally touched the moon in the sky. After he blinked, he vaguely realized that touching the moon in the sky was just an illusion.
The same is true for the younger daughter.
How could such a good little daughter stay by his side forever?
