After all this was done, the entire bubble was completely transformed, turning from a doghouse into a cozy little home.
Yu Wanwan was very satisfied with what she saw.
...
Lan Yin hurriedly returned to the palace. He didn't go through the main gate, but sneaked in quietly, avoiding the mermaids.
When they entered the royal palace, the witch doctor was lying face down on the table, looking extremely distressed, his hand stroking the surface as if caressing his beloved.
Seeing this, Lan Yin asked in bewilderment, "Witch doctor, what are you doing?"
The witch doctor was stunned for a moment, then sat up straight and looked at Lan Yin excitedly: "Your Majesty, you've finally returned!"
Lan Yin hummed in agreement and swam to his side: "You've had a hard time these past few days, go back and get some rest." He patted the witch doctor on the shoulder.
The witch doctor certainly wanted to leave; he'd been here for so many days, and his medicine-making progress had slowed down, but…
He looked at Lan Yin and leaned closer to him: "Your Majesty, what have you been doing these past few days? The elders have already come by."
Lan Yin avoided his first question and went straight to asking, "How many times did he come?"
The witch doctor said, "Once...and then he went with the little princess."
Upon hearing that the elder had followed Qingxun, Lanyin pondered for a moment and understood the reason. He smiled softly and said, "I understand."
He walked to the bedside, not intending to say anything more, but the witch doctor refused to give up and followed him, pressing, "Your Majesty, what exactly did you go to do?"
He stayed in the royal palace for so many days. Although he didn't know the reason at first, he didn't expose him and stayed there obediently. He even arranged for someone to deliver medicine to him every day. This was already helping the king deceive the elders.
He was worried that if he left the palace today and was summoned by the elders, he might not be able to give a proper account if he didn't know why the king had left.
Lan Yin paused for a moment, then said, "You don't need to worry about this. If you're worried about the elders asking you, just say that you've been taking care of me in the royal palace."
In the witch doctor's view, since he had helped the king lie, he was now the king's ally, yet the king was still so wary of him, not even telling him what he had done.
The witch doctor reluctantly agreed, "Alright then."
Lan Yin knew the witch doctor was upset, so he sighed helplessly, "Witch doctor, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that this matter is a bit troublesome. Knowing too much won't do you any good, and I don't want you to feel burdened by this."
"I know the king meant well."
Lan Yin pushed the witch doctor towards the door: "Alright, alright, you must be tired these past few days, go back and rest. Oh, and remember to tell everyone that I'm cured."
