Si glanced at her. "So, they really can cure the prince's eyes?"
Lü Qiao choked for a moment, "In short, you can't let them get close to the prince. Even if the prince is awake, he won't let them treat him."
Si frowned and suddenly said, "Lü Qiao, it's none of your business to interfere in the Prince's affairs."
“I…” Green Fairy opened her mouth.
At this moment, Shen Qingning took two steps closer and said softly, "Miss Lüqiao, I know you don't like me, but I hope you can put the bigger picture first and not delay the opportunity to save the prince for your own selfish reasons."
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao nearly exploded with anger and sneered, "What selfish motives do I have? You're the one with selfish motives. Do you think that just because your master can heal the prince's eyes, my prince will marry you? Don't be delusional."
"You've repeatedly stopped my master from treating the prince's eyes, isn't it all for your princess's sake? Isn't that selfish? In your eyes, the prince's eyes are far less important than your princess's, is that right?" Shen Qingning said unhurriedly.
Green Beauty was so speechless that she almost couldn't speak. After a long while, she clenched her fists and said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense here. You have impure thoughts, so you think everyone is so bad."
Shen Qingning smiled and asked, "If that's the case, why did you stop us from treating the Prince?"
Before Lü Qiao could say anything more, Si Yi said, "Lü Qiao, that's enough. The Prince's recovery of his sight is more important than anything else. Don't say anything more."
Lü Qiao was very anxious, but she couldn't refute it.
Shen Qingning looked at Si Yi and said solemnly, "My master was originally the abbot of Lingyun Temple, with the Taoist name Lingyin. Although he has been traveling around these years, he has saved many people. He has superb medical skills and is familiar with all kinds of poisons in the world. Only my master can cure the floating dung that the prince is poisoned with."
Upon hearing the name Lingyin Temple, Lü Qiao was startled and her eyes widened.
If the old man is Lingyin, then surely only they can heal the prince's eyes?
Upon hearing this, Si Yi, who had initially hesitated, said, "If you can truly cure my prince's eyes, you will be richly rewarded. Otherwise, if you are just deceiving us, then..."
With a "clang," he gripped the hilt of the sword and drew it out an inch, the meaning of which was self-evident.
“We have no need to lie to you. If we cannot cure the prince’s eyes, I am willing to atone with my death,” Shen Qingning said firmly.
Upon hearing this, Si Yi said, "Then please wait here for a moment while I make the arrangements."
"Okay." Shen Qingning nodded, her gaze turning to Lü Qiao, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Lu Qiao returned upstairs dejectedly.
Seeing her like this, Si Yi couldn't stand it and said in a deep voice, "They can cure the prince's eyes, which will be more beneficial for rescuing the princess. Why are you acting this way?"
"What do you know?" Green Fairy exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "You think they're really so kind as to treat the prince? Let me tell you, once they treat the prince, that's when the real trouble will begin. That woman will definitely take advantage of our kindness and make the prince marry her."
Si frowned. "But she didn't mention this just now."
"That's her cleverness. She's using a strategy of retreat to advance, planting the seeds of gratitude first, and then asking the prince for repayment later," Green Fairy mocked.
Si Yi pursed her lips, and after a long while, said calmly, "No matter what, we must heal the prince's eyes first. The prince has many things to do, such as saving the princess and resolving the matter in Juezhou. We cannot delay any longer."
Green Fairy knew the seriousness of the matter, but she was worried that things would not end well and would be detrimental to her young mistress, so she softened her voice and pleaded, "Then at least let them treat him after the prince wakes up, okay? If the prince still chooses to treat him then, then I have nothing to say, and my young mistress will have nothing to say when she finds out."
Si hesitated.
Based on his understanding of his master, if he were sober, he would not accept the rescue that was clearly motivated by ulterior motives.
If it were for some other purpose, it would be one thing, but that woman was after her master. How could her master tolerate that?
Just as he was hesitating, the girl's soft fingers suddenly grasped his arm. "Si Yi, I'm begging you, please?"
Si was taken aback for a moment, then met the girl's pleading eyes and suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.
After a moment, he brushed her hand away and looked away, saying, "Hmm."
Lü Qiao was both surprised and delighted. "Thank you, Si Yi." She thought Si Yi would refuse, but he actually agreed. How could she not be overjoyed?
Upon hearing this, Si Yi couldn't help but look at her face.
Seeing her face, which had just looked as if she had lost her parents, suddenly bloom with a smile, as bright and passionate as a flower in summer, he realized for the first time that this maid also had beautiful features and a pretty face.
He shifted his gaze somewhat uncomfortably to the back of his left hand.
There is still a faint ring of teeth marks on the back of my hand.
Greenie noticed and suddenly felt a little ashamed. "I'm sorry."
"What?" Si Yi raised his eyes and glanced at her.
Greenie pointed to his left hand, "Just last time, I bit you..." She paused, then quickly explained, "Actually, I didn't mean to bite you, it's just that you were too..."
"Alright, stop talking. You've already bitten me, what's the point of apologizing now? Or are you saying you want me to bite you back?" Si Yi said irritably.
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao unhesitatingly raised her left hand in front of him, saying, "Go ahead and bite." After saying that, she turned her head away and tightly closed her eyes.
Si Yi, please don't bite off a piece of her flesh...
Seeing the girl's fair wrist extended in front of him, Si was stunned for a moment, then rudely pushed her hand away and turned to go into the house.
Lü Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Si Yi wasn't that heartless.
As long as the prince wakes up, Shen Qingning's wishful thinking will fall through.
...
Gu Linchao was not unconscious for long and woke up in the evening.
The atmosphere in the room was very oppressive. His silence frightened even Si Yi and Wang Houde.
After a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Si Yi."
"Your subordinate is here." Si Yi hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee in front of the bed.
"How are things going with the things I asked you to do before?" Gu Linchao asked.
Si Yi originally thought that the first thing he would ask about the princess after waking up would be, but he didn't expect that to be the case.
He suppressed his surprise and replied, "I have given the transfer order to Wen Tingyun, putting him in charge of this matter. Judging from the progress, he and his soldiers should arrive in Juezhou tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao nodded. "That's fine then." With that, he threw back the covers, got out of bed, and said, "Make the arrangements, and we'll set off immediately."
Si was taken aback. "Where is Master going?"
"Go to Juezhou," Gu Linchao said. He wanted to get things done as quickly as possible before handing over the military seal.
