Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

Although everyone was very unconvinced, they still left the operating room angrily after copying a record.

Gu Cheng personally escorted Liu Qi to the door, waved goodbye to him, then turned around and quickly walked back to the ward.

When he pushed open the door, Pei Mingxu's bed was surrounded by people.

Although the medical teams do not have the ability to perform mental sea surgery, they all have their own areas of expertise.

Therefore, these bigwigs from all walks of life wanted to personally treat Pei Mingxu just in case.

Under their earnest anticipation, the emperor and empress finally nodded.

Therefore, during the time when Pei Mingxu was anesthetized, he continuously underwent a full set of diagnostic tests from medical experts.

It was not until the evening that everyone reluctantly left the ward, leaving only nurse Ariel to take care of the patient.

Ariel had never expected that she had participated in the competition out of spite just because a colleague with a background snatched her promotion spot. She wanted to prove that she was not bad, and luckily she jumped directly to the pinnacle of her career.

Her heart was filled with relief and gratitude, so she worked even harder.

So, she was the first to notice Pei Mingxu's awakening.

"Your Highness, you're awake." She smiled happily, and after roughly scanning the intracranial electric waves and finding nothing abnormal, she hurried out to find a doctor.

The emperor, empress and Gu Cheng arrived late after the doctor had completed the preliminary examination.

They pushed the door open, but did not impulsively go over to disturb the doctor. Instead, they walked to the window and stopped, quietly waiting for the doctor's results.

"The four infection indicators are stable at 0, and the disease has been completely controlled."

"Moreover, we have detected that His Highness's spiritual power seems to have made a breakthrough, and there is a possibility of further advancement."

"Really? That's great."

After a brief surprise, Nanasha couldn't suppress her joy.

After sending the doctor away, they came forward to ask Pei Mingxu how he felt.

Pei Mingxu had a good sleep and felt much more energetic. In addition, the slight tingling pain in his head that usually came from time to time was eliminated, and his mental energy flowed smoothly again.

His current condition can be said to have reached the highest point since he was born.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

As he spoke, he released his mental power, which slowly condensed into a ball of energy the size of a tennis ball in the palm of his hand.

"Is this, advanced?"

Pei Chaoxi leaned forward and curiously observed this dark blue energy sphere without any edges.

Pei Mingxu let them observe, but after hearing Pei Chaoxi's words, he shook his head: "Probably not yet, but it will probably be soon."

"It's already pretty good. It can be considered a blessing in disguise for you." Pei Chaoxi said with emotion.

"Yes." He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Gu Cheng, his green eyes full of gentle light: "However, I think it is because I met the noble person in my life, so I can turn danger into safety."

Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

When the emperor and empress saw this, they looked at each other and left together after a short while, taking the doctor and nurse with them.

Gu Cheng was left alone to accompany Pei Mingxu.

They didn't say anything, just looked at each other lovingly.

Suddenly, Pei Mingxu sat up, grabbed Gu Cheng's wrist, and made him fall on the bed.

He kissed Gu Cheng's forehead gently and said softly: "Thank you, Ah Cheng."

Gu Cheng smiled brightly: "You're welcome, but there's no need for us to say thank you."

"Supporting each other is what husbands and wives should do."

Pei Mingxu embraced Gu Cheng, held him in his arms, rested his chin on the top of his head, and sighed: "Yes, we still have plenty of time to support each other and move forward together."

This time, Pei Mingxu was really grateful to Liu Qi, his brother-in-law.

If there is something, he will really go.

However, the good mood of brother-in-law Ben disappeared the moment he saw Liu Bai.

"Why do you refuse to repair your body? Are you blaming me for being too rough?"

Liu Qi scanned Liu Bai's entire body, and his expression turned very ugly when he detected several broken bones due to excessive force.

However, Liu Bai's condition was too miserable, and Liu Qi couldn't bear to punish him any further and make his injuries worse.

However, if Liu Bai dared to say yes, he would still get angry.

Liu Bai did not hate him, but his next words still made him unhappy.

"Master, please... replace me."

"What do you mean, what do you mean by asking me to replace you?"

Liu Qi stood up angrily, layers of black mist filled her silver-gray pupils, like a black hole suddenly exploding in the starry sky, carrying the breath of destruction and death.

In a flash, Liu Qi changed her tone and said with disgust: "Do you think I don't want to? You are like a dead fish. You have to force me to do something for a long time. You are always submissive and will only say yes. Don't you have your own thoughts?"

After that, he muttered again: "Obviously you weren't like this at the beginning."

The original Liu Bai not only looked naive, but also had a likable program implanted in him, so his personality was very interesting and very much to his liking.

However, ever since she received the guardian education, those programs were treated as useless garbage and were gradually eliminated, thus creating the current "good wife and loving mother" version of Liu Bai.

Everything comes first to him and one will never disobey his orders.

Sure enough, Liu Bai is so boring.

Liu Qi thought so and said so.

"Then... replace me."

Liu Bai's voice was weak and light. The molten liquid in his body gradually burst out with each breath, burning his heart.

"Although there is no way to replace my origin, you can create a new body. Moreover, ancient books say that as long as all the programs in my body are formatted, my consciousness will return to its infancy. At that time, you can recreate a partner that suits your preferences. I..."

"What are you talking about? What ancient books? What kind of nonsense do you usually read?"

Before Liu Bai could finish, Liu Qi suddenly sat down beside his bed like a cat with its fur standing on end, pinched his chin, and said with red eyes: "You are my property. You are not allowed to act without my order!"

"...Yes." Liu Bai tilted his neck and uttered a faint sound.

Liu Qi breathed heavily and said angrily: "Besides yes, can't you say anything else?"

"...As you command, Master."

"I don't want to hear you call me Master!"

"Yes, Lord..."

Under Liu Qi's stare, Liu Bai didn't finish his words.

And Liu Qi also took advantage of his sensible behavior and gently let go of his jaw.

He turned his back to Liu Bai and said after a while: "You...call me by my name from now on."

"This...how is this possible!"

"This is an order!"

"Yes... No, as you command."
