Knowing his abilities, the Medical Sage nodded slightly and then said to Lin Xiuyan, "You must be careful when you go out in the future."
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "Fifth Uncle, don't worry. As long as I don't encounter any too powerful opponents, I can protect myself without much trouble."
She decided to make some more powerful weapons for self-defense when she got back.
The Sage of Medicine smiled and said, "Indeed, your strange and unusual weapons are truly difficult to defend against."
"Even so, you still need to be careful."
Lin Xiuyan listened attentively to the kind reminders from the medical sage.
They have now declared war on the Prince of Pingnan, and from now on they can only become stronger, otherwise they will face certain death.
After Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei returned to their room, Ye Junfei summoned Wudao and He Shen, instructing Lin Xiuyan to take at least one of them with her when she went out in the future.
He Shen and Wu Dao responded in unison.
His wounds were more severe than Ye Qingwan's, but he often went on missions with Ye Junfei, so injuries were a common occurrence.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this trait that his injuries healed even faster than Ye Qingwan's. (M.cascoo.net)
He can get out of bed now. Although his injuries haven't fully healed yet, he'll be able to fight without a knife again in a while.
Wu Dao smiled and said to Lin Xiuyan, "Princess Consort, don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will be able to hurt you!"
To make his words seem more credible, he patted his chest.
However, his injury hadn't fully healed, and that slap almost made him vomit blood.
Lin Xiuyan was both amused and exasperated by his appearance: "Stop filming! It wasn't easy to save you."
"If you kill yourself, who are you going to ask for medical expenses from?"
Wu Dao asked, somewhat shocked, "Oh, do I still need to pay for my medical treatment?"
Lin Xiuyan looked at him in equal shock and said, "Have you ever seen a doctor who treats patients without charging them?"
"Not to mention your injuries are so severe, and I used my rare medicinal herbs. If you dare to renege on the debt, I'll beat you to death!"
Wu Dao was both distressed about spending the money and a little embarrassed.
He coughed lightly and asked, "How much silver do you intend to charge me for my consultation, Princess Consort?"
“If it’s too much, I can’t afford it; I’ll have to pay off the debt with my wages.”
Lin Xiuyan wanted to laugh at his expression, but she kept a straight face and said, "One copper coin, pay now, no delays!"
Wu Dao thought he had misheard: "One copper coin? That's so cheap!"
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said, "You think it's too cheap? Then hand over all your silver!"
Wu Dao immediately took out a copper coin from his person and handed it to Lin Xiuyan: "Not at all! Princess Consort, please keep the consultation fee safe."
Lin Xiuyan took the copper coin and carefully stuffed it into her purse, as if it were something precious.
Wu Dao felt a warmth in his heart, knowing that she had just teased him with those words.
He genuinely felt that Lin Xiuyan was beautiful, kind-hearted, and had a good temper; she was the perfect choice to be a wife, but unfortunately, she was already married…
He had just thought of this when Ye Junfei smacked him hard on the back of the head: "What are you thinking about!"
Wu Dao hurriedly replied, "I was thinking about how loving the young master and his wife are, and when they will have a little prince!"
Ye Junfei glanced at him and said, "Your brain works sometimes and doesn't. Do you want me to chop it off and fix it for you?"
Wu Dao immediately covered his head and scurried away, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, but no need!"
Seeing that although he was still limping a bit, Ye Junfei was walking very fast and thought that he could get back to work.
Lin Xiuyan laughed: "It seems that Wu Dao's injury is really not serious."
The couple were quite aligned on the issue of not having a knife.
He Shen really likes the current atmosphere.
Although Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan were not in a good situation, they treated their subordinates very well.
After thinking for a moment, he knelt on one knee in front of Lin Xiuyan and said, "From now on, I will be at the command of the Crown Princess."
Seeing his appearance, Lin Xiuyan knew that he had finally truly joined their ranks.
She reached out and helped him up, saying, "We'll probably have a lot of fights to come, so you'll have to work hard."
He Shen was slightly surprised to hear this: "A lot of fights?"
Lin Xiuyan nodded: "From now on, it will be increasingly difficult to collect the Zhou family's debts. It's possible that every time we try to collect them, we'll have to fight."
"That old hag will definitely not let me go; assassination attempts are inevitable."
"So there will definitely be many dangers in the future, so you need to be mentally prepared."
"If you're scared, you can leave now. If you don't leave now, you won't have a chance to go back later."
Without hesitation, He Shen solemnly declared, "From now on, I vow to protect the Crown Princess with my life!"
His serious demeanor made Lin Xiuyan a little embarrassed.
She coughed lightly and said, "Okay, from now on we're truly on the same side."
When Ye Junfei heard her say that she was one of his own, he raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at He Shen expressionlessly.
He Shen was listening attentively to Lin Xiuyan when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
He followed the chill and saw Ye Junfei's icy eyes.
He had gained a very deep understanding of Ye Junfei during this time, and he was so frightened that he trembled and hurriedly said, "From now on, the Crown Princess will be like my second parents!"
"I will treat the Crown Princess with the same respect as my own mother!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Even if he wanted to show his loyalty, there's no need to go to such an extreme!
He was even older than her; where did she find such a son?
She coughed lightly and said, "You don't need to do that. Just do your job properly."
Ye Junfei praised He Shen, saying, "Your attitude is very good. I also happen to have something to give you."
He Shen looked at Ye Junfei with some confusion. His expression was extremely indifferent. He asked Wu Ge to take out something and hand it to He Shen.
When He Shen saw that thing, he was stunned for a moment, and his eyes quickly reddened: "Where did this thing come from?"
Wu Ge replied, "The young master felt that there were some strange coincidences in your family's affairs, so he sent us to investigate."
"The investigation did indeed uncover some clues; this thing was found in the woods behind your house."
He Shen's expression was extremely grim as he asked, "Then who is wearing such a thing?"
“She’s already dead,” Wu Ge replied. “When we found this thing, there was a skeleton next to it, which looked like a woman.”
"We also found this next to the body."
After he finished speaking, he gave He Shen a piece of red rag.
He Shen's tears streamed down his face instantly, and he gritted his teeth as he asked, "Who killed them?"
Ye Junfei chuckled and said, "You've been at the Prince's residence for so long, haven't you figured out who's behind this yet?"
A hint of confusion flashed in He Shen's eyes, but he quickly regained some clarity.
