As bright as a star: Madam, she is an almighty little princess

Ling Yuxiao watched Ling Qi and Ling Luye disappear around the corner of the stairs, then turned around and the smile on his face faded away.

He glanced at the seven people waiting in the hall, turned around and walked towards the corridor outside.

The seven people looked at each other and followed out.

Outside the corridor, next to a carved pillar, Pei Yanxing lit a cigarette and was leaning there, smoking one after another.

The smoke he exhaled and the white air he breathed in the winter were dense in front of the man, and it was difficult to cover up the obscure darkness in his eyes.

Ling Yu walked to the window opposite Pei Yanxing and stood by the window. He took out the cigarette case from his pocket, knocked out a cigarette, and skillfully held the lighter and lit it.

Breathing out a puff of smoke, this consistent and familiar operation made the seven people who followed him a little stunned.

They remembered that Ling Yu had always been very self-disciplined. He could smoke but not much, let alone carry a cigarette case with him. This kind of thing happened to Ling Yu.

"Say it." While several people were stunned, Ling Yu suddenly spoke.

All seven of them knew exactly what they wanted to say.

However, there was unexpected silence.

Ling Yu lit the cigarette ashes and looked at the scenery outside the courtyard.

"Ling Feng."

With a faint sound, the seven people all bowed and lowered their heads.

Ling Feng stood in the middle of the front row, with his right hand on his left shoulder, "My lord, please forgive Ling..."

"Ling Feng." There was another faint voice, and Ling Yu turned his eyes, "How much older are you than Xiao Qi?"

Ling Feng pursed his lips and lowered his head, "Return to the Lord, four years old."

"Do you know why I didn't keep you and Lingchuan with me at that time, but let you come to Xiaoqi's side instead?"

The person who had always been the most disciplined among the seven people did not answer Ling Yu's words this time.

Ling Yu's voice suddenly became stern, "Is this how you act like a brother? Do you hide everything from her? Do you have to wait until something really happens to her to find out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the seven people still standing in front of him changed, and they all knelt on one knee in front of Ling Yu.

Ling Feng relaxed and said, "Back to the Lord, the lady has had three attacks in the past two months. The situation..."

He paused and said, "The situation is not good."

Unexpectedly, Ling Yu tightened his fingers holding the cigarette, "Ling Bai! Ling Chu!"

"Back to my lord, the lady's pulse is getting more and more confused and weak, and the attacks are becoming more severe each time."

Ling Chu said as he raised his eyes and glanced at the man opposite Ling Yu with complex eyes, "Moreover, the young lady has been depressed these days. She rarely even speaks, and her temper has become increasingly dull."

"This is not conducive to her physical recovery. If this continues, her body may..."

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to hold on."

It was as cold as an ice cellar, many times colder than the weather outside.

For a few moments, they didn't even know which man in front of them was radiating the cold air.

Ling Yu didn't speak, and several people didn't dare to get up or say anything.

In the end, Ling Bai couldn't hold it back.

Although he was afraid of Ling Yu, but as a "surgical knife" second only to his own lady, what he was most concerned about was whether what Ling Yu said before was true or false.

"My lord, there is something unclear about Ling Bai."

He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Ling Yu's eyes, "You sent a message before that the young lady's condition may be cured. Is it true or... are you trying to trick the young lady back?"

Ling Bai had almost foreseen the outcome in his heart, but he still asked without giving up.

After all, the medical skills of Ling Qi and Mr. Si were there. He said arrogantly that if there was any disease in the world that they couldn't cure, then I'm afraid no one would be able to do it.

No matter how powerful Ling Yu was, man could not defeat God in matters of medical skills. He did not believe that Ling Yu could really find someone whose medical skills could surpass these two.

But Ling Bai ignored one fact.

Strictly speaking, what was in Ling Qi's body was poison, not disease.

"Really." The two faint words fell on several people's ears, and Ling Bai didn't react at all.

For a moment, Ling Bai's deep awe for Ling Yu was completely covered up by a long series of surprises. He stood up suddenly and stared into his eyes as big as copper bells, "My lord, what did you say?!"

Several other people who were in shock were startled by Ling Bai's action.

Ling Feng whispered, "Ling Bai!"

Ling Yu in front of him didn't say anything. He said quietly, "Everyone, get up."

Then he glanced into the living room through the wooden window and winked at Lingchuan at the door.

Lingchuan nodded in understanding.

Looking at the seven astonished people in front of him, Ling Yu stubbed out the burned out cigarette in his hand and took out another cigarette from his pocket.

Exhaling a puff of smoke, he said, "The person at the medical center is awake. She has personally admitted that Xiaoqi's poison has a close relationship with her, but whether it can be eradicated depends on the test results and subsequent treatment."

"I have sent her to Bieyuan. You are responsible for keeping an eye on Xiaoqi these two days. If she plans to go to the medical center, find a way to stop her and notify me as soon as possible."

If there is peace of mind, a few people will definitely respond immediately.

But now, even stable people like Ling Feng and Ling Fei were stunned and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Ling Yu didn't want to explain too much to them, "Okay, just know what's going on. Don't show any abnormality in front of Xiao Qi these two days. I'll find a way to inform Xiao Qi about this after tomorrow."

No matter what, Ling Qi must have a relatively smooth new year.

After sending away the seven people who had not recovered much, Ling Yu glanced at the silent man opposite him. He knew that this man was stimulated by Ling Qi's situation in the past two months. He was not uncomfortable, but he still persuaded him. He said, "It's surprising that I can come back today. Let's spend the New Year with her well."

Pei Yanxing's eyes were dim and unclear, and he hummed in a deep voice.

"Xiaoqi should have been very resistant to you before she knew there might be a way to treat you. Why don't you go back to the place where you stayed two days ago?"

Pei Yanxing stood up straight from leaning against the pillar and said in a low voice, "No, just stay here. Don't worry, brother, I'm quite thick-skinned and I'm not afraid of being kicked out."

Ling Yu looked at Pei Yanxing's serious and cold expression, "..."

Pei Lin stood one meter away and twitched the corner of his mouth, "..."

Ling Yu was silent for a moment, "It's not a question of whether you are thick-skinned or not. You don't know Xiaoqi's temper. It would be easy for her to get angry and fight you."

Even if she didn't have the strength to take action now, I'm afraid she would have to let those seven beat this man out.

Pei Yanxing said, "It doesn't matter. Let Pei Lin compete with those seven and find his own shortcomings. This will save him from having to occupy the base's training resources when he returns to the capital."

Lingyu: "..."

Pei Lin: "..."

He had evidence to prove that his father had made a mistake in allocating billions to the palace before retaliating against him, but he did not dare to refute it.

"My lord." Lingchuan lowered his voice and called, "The princess is down."
