"I'm a friend of Ying Changming, a doctor, and I'm here to see you."
"Changming's friend? Great, my Changming also has a friend..." His breathing became a little faster, and after he felt better, he continued, "Changming has been carrying bags at the dock to treat this old immortal like me. You have to wait for a while..."
"It's okay." Shen Huaixu said softly, "Grandpa, I have to confess something to you. You were poisoned because of me."
She told him about the person she had been looking for some time ago, "······I will help you cure your illness until you are completely healed."
The old man raised his hand and waved it with difficulty. He smiled, his face showing the tact unique to adults. "Young lady, you underestimate me. I asked someone to help you. I was going for money. If they found out and retaliated, I should admit defeat. I am already half buried in the ground. I only want to ask you one thing -"
He looked at Shen Huaixu expectantly. Shen Huaixu had almost guessed what he wanted to say next, so he just followed his words and said, "Just say it."

After saying such a long speech, he paused for a long time, so long that Shen Huaixu almost thought he was asleep, and then he continued: "Changming is a simple-minded person, telling me everything. I know you are the Princess Mingyi, and it is because of this that I have sacrificed my old face to seek a promising future for Changming. Whether it is as a slave or a servant, I only hope that you can accept him, and he will definitely work hard.
Although slavery is also a lowly status, the old man knows that if he follows you, he will not be without food to eat or clothes to wear..."
The old man struggled to get out of bed, but was stopped by Xiaoman. Shen Huaixu smiled and said to the old man, "Grandpa, Ying Changming didn't tell you everything. I invited him to help me with something, but he hasn't agreed yet. You have to help me convince him."
