Chapter 166: Gossip
In the next few days, the King of the Northwest seemed very busy and did not ask about their affairs.
Ye Qingyu concentrated on drawing the treasure map every day. Qingyi sometimes went out for a stroll with Qingqing, and sometimes watched the fun in the study. After a few days, Ye Qingyu finally finished drawing the treasure map. He planned to set off to look for the treasure in a few days.
"Hey? Where is my master?" Qingqing had just returned from helping Doctor Lin sort out the medicinal herbs. When she entered the yard, she saw Qingyi practicing sword alone in the yard. She didn't see her little prince, so she couldn't help but ask.
"He was called away by your prince." Seeing Qingqing coming over, Qing Yi turned his wrist and stopped his move.
"Oh. By the way, guess who I just saw?" Qingqing said mysteriously.
"Who is it?" Qing Yi's curiosity was instantly aroused.
"I really can't believe it's him? How come he came to our palace?" Qingqing deliberately kept the secret.
"Who is it? Stupid girl, can you please tell me quickly?" He guessed that this person must be someone they knew, and the first thing that came to his mind was his master. He was really looking forward to his master's arrival, but then he thought again, it was unlikely. His master must still be living a shameless life in the Jiangnan Shiwang Mansion... uh, a happy and sweet life.
"I didn't expect it to be Li Qingting, the one who is known as the best doctor in the world." The gentle tone was quite mysterious.
Qingqing knew that Doctor Lin and Doctor Li were acquainted, but she had no idea that they were actually close brothers. After all, Doctor Lin couldn't possibly be spreading the news about his brother, who had been expelled by his own master.
Qingqing first met Divine Doctor Li a few years ago when Prince Shi brought him to treat the dying young prince. Three years ago, she met him again at Prince Shi's mansion. She never expected that Divine Doctor Li would actually come to the mansion.
"Eh? Who? Li Qingting?" Qing Yi was a little surprised and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes, he has such a distinctive look that I recognized him at first sight. He even pretended not to be Doctor Li, saying something like Wang Daniu. It's true that the more powerful a person is, the more low-key he is!" Qingqing was full of admiration. She was taught by Doctor Lin of the palace and knew some medical skills. But this Li Qingting was even more powerful than Doctor Lin, so in Qingqing's heart, Doctor Li was an even more remarkable figure.
"Why did he come to the palace? Where did you see him?"
"On the way to the pharmacy, I was just talking to Doctor Lin about it, but he didn't even know that Doctor Li was here. He must have just arrived..."
Just now when I arrived at the pharmacy, I chatted with Doctor Lin and told him that I met Doctor Li on the way here. Doctor Li was so funny and humorous, and he even called himself Wang Daniu?
Qingqing didn't notice at all that when she said the person she met was Doctor Li, Doctor Lin, who was leisurely picking herbs, suddenly stopped, then stood up and quickly left the pharmacy.
She was confused, wondering what had happened to Doctor Lin. He must be missing Doctor Li. She should go see him!
"Hahaha, you came at the right time, so I don't have to go look for him." Qing Yi smiled and had an idea in his mind.
"Eh? Why are you looking for him? What's wrong with you?" Qing Qing looked at the lively and energetic Qing Yi in front of him and asked in confusion.
"What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? I am a strong hero, how can I be sick? Bah, bah, bah." Qing Yi pretended to be angry and reached out to pat Qingqing's head.
Qingqing dodged quickly, but she was still no faster than Qingyi and was hit on the head. Although it didn't hurt, she felt that Qingyi was bullying her and said dissatisfiedly: "You are so annoying! Wait until I complain to the master, then you hit me!"
"Hey, girl, you are such a chatterbox! I just patted you, how can it be considered a beating?" Qing Yi was just joking and didn't really mean to hit you.
"You're the one who's always nagging!" Qingqing retorted immediately. She and Qingyi often bickered. Normally, when her master was around, she would be more careful about her manners. But when her master wasn't around, the two of them would keep their mouths busy all the time.
Qingqing suddenly thought of the taciturn Qingfeng. She looked around and asked, "Where's Qingfeng?"
"I don't know. He left as soon as your master left. Could it be that he saw that your master was busy, so he secretly went to find his lover?" Qing Yi teased with a playful smile on his face.
"...Hey, stop talking nonsense. Who would be interested in him, a dull guy like him?"
"That's right! I wonder why the King of the Northwest is looking for Xiao Ye again? Why hasn't he come back for so long?" Qing Yi hadn't seen Ye Qingyu for quite some time, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Don't worry, you don't know, our prince is very good to the master." Qingqing looked at Qingyi with amusement. This kid really hangs around the master all day long. He is too clingy.
"Tell me how good it is!"
Qingqing began to talk about the affairs of the Northwest Prince's Mansion, and Qingyi shook his head. "I didn't expect that the Northwest Prince, who seemed to have a bad temper, would be so doting on his own son?" Fortunately, Xiaoye didn't grow up badly. If he had been spoiled into a playboy like Xue An, what would have happened?
"Hey? Brat, what are you thinking about?" Qingqing saw Qingyi looking thoughtful, and couldn't help but wave her hand in front of his eyes and asked.
"Ah, nothing, nothing!" Qing Yi smiled and shook his head. Xiao Ye must have been born with good character. Anyone else spoiled like this by the King of the Northwest would have become an unlearned dandy. Besides, when they were in the capital, they had seen even the Emperor of Chu beaming at the sight of Xiao Ye, treating him with even more affection than he did the other princes.
Xiao Ye must be good-looking, smart, and likable since childhood, otherwise why would so many people like him? Qing Yi secretly confirmed his thoughts in his heart.
The two of them chatted idly, and after another hour, Ye Qingyu didn't come back, and even Qingfeng didn't show up.
"Why hasn't the master come back yet? I'll go and take a look." He said softly.
"Let's go, I'll go too." Qing Yi couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up.
Just as the two were about to leave the yard, they saw a man in a gray-white gown running in, panting, with unsteady steps, and almost bumping into Qing Yi.
Qing Yi dodged to the side and Qingqing behind him was startled, but fortunately she had some martial arts skills and reacted quickly, and she kindly reached out to support the person.
