Physician Lin dared not take credit and quickly shook his head, "Madam, you are too kind. If it weren't for the Commander's timely delivery of the medicinal ingredient, even if I had the antidote formula, I wouldn't have been able to make it. If Madam wants to thank someone, she should thank the Commander."
Rong Qingqing was taken aback and looked at the silent man beside her.
"Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. Madam, please drink the antidote as soon as possible." After saying this, Physician Lin withdrew.
Xiao Tao was about to feed Rong Qingqing her medicine, but Xie Jingrun took the medicine bowl from the tray she was carrying first.
Seeing this, Xiao Tao didn't dare to linger and quickly left, closing the door behind her.
The room fell silent. Rong Qingqing scratched her head, feeling that she should say something.
But before she could even open her mouth, Xie Jingrun came over with the medicine bowl. "Drink your medicine first."
"Okay." Rong Qingqing replied. Just as she was about to sit up, the man reached out and helped her up, and considerately took a pillow and placed it behind her.
"I'll drink it myself," Rong Qingqing said, looking at the bowl of medicine in his hand.
Xie Jingrun had already sat down by the bed. Upon hearing this, he merely glanced at her without saying a word, and then casually scooped up some medicine with a spoon and fed it to her.
Rong Qingqing: "..."
Seeing the man's persistent look, her face suddenly felt hot and she felt very uncomfortable. At the same time, she was also very unaccustomed to this side of Xie Jingrun.
But since they had already fed her the medicine, it would be ungrateful of her to refuse. Besides, they had gone to great lengths to get the medicine for her.
Thinking of this, she had no choice but to open her mouth and drink the medicine.
Seeing the girl obediently drink her medicine, Xie Jingrun's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
After feeding her the bowl of medicine, Xie Jingrun helped her lie down. "You've taken the antidote, you'll be fine."
"Hmm." Rong Qingqing responded, then, remembering something, asked, "Did you go through a lot of trouble to find the medicinal ingredient?"
"None of that matters, as long as your poison can be cured." Xie Jingrun said, then suddenly leaned down and touched her head, his voice soft and gentle, "You should go to sleep first, I have to go to the palace for some business. I'll come see you later."
Rong Qingqing met the man's deep eyes, paused for a moment, and wanted to say that she didn't need to come see her anymore, but after Xie Jingrun finished speaking, he turned and left.
Looking at the snow-white tent ceiling, Rong Qingqing sighed silently.
Xie Jingrun really knows how to talk to himself.
The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.
When Xie Jingrun arrived, Emperor Zhaojing had just finished discussing matters with Shangguan Boyan.
When Shangguan Boyan came out, he gave him a friendly look and said, "Thank you, Commander."
"Prime Minister." Xie Jingrun nodded slightly.
"Go in, His Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time." Shangguan Boyan said with a smile, and then left.
Xie Jingrun paused for a moment before going inside.
Emperor Zhaojing was sitting behind his desk when he saw him enter, and suddenly became a little nervous.
Haifu led the palace servants out and closed the door to the imperial study.
Emperor Zhaojing and Xie Jingrun had a private conversation that lasted for two hours.
When Xie Jingrun came out, it was already dark.
Looking at the boundless sky, Xie Jingrun's heart was filled with turmoil.
Although he had known about his origins for a long time, hearing the emperor admit it still greatly shocked him.
How ridiculous! He lived for over twenty years before he learned that he was not Xie Tianlin's son, but the son of the current emperor.
His mother was Consort Li, who was deeply favored by the emperor.
