"For the past seven years, Imperial Physician Lin has been working diligently, forgetting to eat and sleep, and I'm afraid he has helped the Emperor a lot."
It sounded like a polite compliment, but Lin Qinfeng felt it was very strange. Cold sweat broke out on his hands and feet, and his heart began to feel a little confused.
