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

Ye Xunying never mentioned wanting to see Ling Qi again. She lived about twenty minutes' walk from Ling Qi, and the laboratory was in the middle of their residences. They went back and forth between the two places every day. Sometimes when she was busy, she would just live in the temporary residence built next to the laboratory.

The herbs she needed every day were delivered by someone from the Medicine Island. Apart from these two places, she had never been anywhere else.

Ling Qi stayed in his own small courtyard, never going out of the front door or the back door, injecting the antidote brought by Ling Bai at a fixed time every day, and recuperating quietly.

Pei Yanxing has not returned to the capital since he came to Lingyuzhou before the New Year. Every day he is either taking care of her or accompanying Ling Luye. The little boy has gradually become more talkative, and his temperament has gradually returned to his original cheerful self.

Occasionally, he would ask Pei Yanxing or Ling Ye to go with him to the back mountain of Yaodao to catch some game, and then roast it for Ling Qi when he came back. Life was peaceful but not boring.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye and the weather became warmer.

During this period, apart from Ling Yu who came once a week and Fang Jianing and Ruan Qian who came a few times, no one else came to disturb him. However, Pei Yanxing never stopped receiving messages on his phone, all of which were greetings from the capital.

It has been more than a month since Ling Qi's last toxin attack. He has been taking the medicine for three weeks. Although he still feels pain to the point of coma, the symptoms have been significantly weakened.

It was another weekend, Ling Yu came over after working overtime on state affairs, and Ling Bai had just drawn Ling Qi's blood and was planning to take it for testing.

"Lord."

Ling Bai, who was often naughty and talkative, was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Ling Chuan. He couldn't be more obedient.

"I'll go with you."

Ling Bai tremblingly got on the passenger seat of Ling Yu, nodded and whispered to Ling Chuan beside him, "Brother Chuan."

Ling Chuan looked straight ahead and hummed lightly.

However, it was only a few minutes' drive, and Ling Bai's body became a little stiff from sitting upright. He felt alive only after getting off the car.

"Master, I will take the young lady over for testing first."

Ling Bai held the blood sample in his hand, and when Ling Yu agreed, he ran away. On the way, he ran into Rong Shu who was coming out of the medicine room, "Little mute, the master is coming."

There was a figure running hurriedly in the corridor. When Ling Yu came in, he only saw a petite black shadow flashing in the direction of the bathroom.

He recognized it was Rong Shu, but didn't look at her any further and walked straight towards the blood testing room.

"How is it, does Wan Qing look better recently?" Ling Yu pushed the door open and heard Ye Xunying's tentative question.

Ling Bai held the test tube in his hand with his back to her and did not answer. His profile looked extremely cold.

Ye Xunying asked, but knowing that Ling Bai would not pay attention to him, he turned around silently.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Ling Yu, whom he hadn't seen for two months.

The thin and pale face was particularly dazzling when it was immersed in Ling Yu's dark and sharp eyes.

Ye Xunying has been having blood drawn almost every day these days. Although the amount drawn each day is not too much, it is unbearable to have blood drawn every day. His complexion is now no less than when Ling Qi's poison took effect, and his body has become as thin as when he just woke up from the hospital bed.

"Ayu, come here..."

Ye Xunying had just finished speaking when the joy she had shown when she saw Ling Yu dimmed. She lowered her eyes and said, "You came here to wait for Wan Qing's result. Is her poison about to be eliminated?"

Ling Yu stared at her without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Ling Chuan, wait for the results here." Ling Yu ordered in a cold voice, then turned around, opened the door and walked out of the laboratory.

At the window at the end of the corridor, Ling Yu stood there looking at the densely packed medicinal herbs all over the mountains. He felt inexplicably stuffy in his heart, and took out a cigarette from his pocket. With a click, the white smoke obscured the emotions on his face.

Ling Yu didn't notice that this side of the corridor was the direction of the bathroom.

Rong Shu, who was hiding inside, smelled the increasingly strong smell of tobacco and couldn't help but frowned.

Smoking is prohibited in Yaodao. Who on earth is so bold as to smoke in the laboratory?

It's not that she is meddling in other people's business, it's just that the herbs on Medicine Island are extremely precious and cannot tolerate any contamination.

Thinking of this, she walked towards the bathroom door.

The weather in mid-April was already a little hot at noon. Ling Chuan held his coat in his hands. He unbuttoned the collar of his dark grey shirt because his chest didn't feel stuffy. His straight back revealed his handsome spine.

As soon as Rong Shu opened the door, he saw such a slender figure.

"Who!" Ling Yu heard the man's footsteps stop, and turned around abruptly with the unfinished cigarette between his fingers. The sharpness in his eyes and the gloom on his face had not yet faded.

Normally, Rong Shu was afraid of Ling Yu, but now, he was caught off guard and faced his fierce look, and Rong Shu's face instantly turned pale.

He retreated violently in panic.

With a bang, she bumped into the bathroom door frame.

Ling Yu quickly suppressed the coldness emanating from his body as soon as he saw who was coming. He knew Rong Shu was timid, but he didn't expect to scare him like this.

Seeing Rong Shu's flustered and reserved look, he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry."

Rong Shu shook his head, crossed his hands in front of his chest and fiddled with them. His lips moved but no sound came out. Only later did he realize that he was using sign language.

[Master, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, but smoking is not allowed on Medicine Island, it will affect the growth of herbs. ]

Ling Yu understood some sign language, but not much. Seeing her pointing at the burning cigarette on her fingertips, he suddenly remembered the rules of Medicine Island and roughly understood what Rong Shu meant.

After looking around and not finding any place to put out the cigarette, he turned and walked into the men's restroom nearby and put out the cigarette with some water.

Coming out with wet hands, he apologized again, "Sorry, I just forgot the rules of Medicine Island."

Rong Shu hardly spoke to Ling Yu. Seeing the president of a country apologizing politely, she was at a loss for a moment and lowered her head nervously.

His eyes fell on the hand at Ling Yu's side that was still covered with water droplets. He took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket, leaned forward and handed it to Ling Yu with both hands, but he still didn't dare to look at anyone.

Ling Yu looked at the thing handed to him, was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to take it, "Thank you."

Rong Shu didn't say anything else. He lowered his head, bowed, and turned to leave.

Suddenly, Ling Bai's scream was heard in the corridor. A figure rushed out from the laboratory, holding the results of the rapid test in his hand and running over. He almost bumped into Rong Shu who was walking over, "Master! Master! The young lady's poison is gone, all gone!"

Ling Bai's mind was now filled with the data on the test report. He completely forgot about his fear of Ling Yu. He stopped in front of Ling Yu without stopping, "Master, look! All indicators are normal!"

Ling Yu held the piece of paper that Ling Bai had stuffed in his hand and read through all the indicators line by line.

He said nothing, but the blue veins on the back of his hands revealed his excited heart.

This was an expected result from the day Ye Xunying started treating her. But when Ling Yu heard the news, he couldn't help but feel his heart tremble violently. The tension that had been building for nearly fourteen years finally relaxed.

He stood at the window for a long time.

After a long while, he took the report that was crumpled by him and took a deep breath, "Let's go back to see Xiaoqi."
