I looked at the page full of tadpoles and said with some embarrassment, "It is indeed much better than before."

Jinping slapped his thigh and said happily, "I said that my third sister didn't know how to appreciate and was acting like a demon. She even went to Lord Gongsun to complain about me, saying that I was lazy and often didn't practice calligraphy, and asked Lord Gongsun to punish me. Look, the pile of homework on the desk was assigned to me by Lord Gongsun. Even if I don't eat or drink for a day, I can't finish it. My dear Ah Man, can you go and ask Lord Gongsun for mercy and let me do less, at least give me a break."

Seeing his pitiful appearance, I endured the severe pain and said, "Do you think I can beg for mercy for you in this state?"

The sound of my voice is not much louder than the buzz of a mosquito.

Jinping saw that I was indeed in a much worse situation than him, so he sighed and said, "Forget it, you should take good care of your injuries. I heard that His Majesty was furious because you sneaked out of the palace and got injured, and everyone in Gongsun Mansion was punished."

At this point, Jinping slapped his head and said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "No wonder Lord Gongsun wanted to punish me. It turns out that he was angry with me because I was punished because of you! I don't care. When you recover from your injury, you have to help me finish these homework."

I rolled my eyes and said, "You are such a good writer, it's a waste of talent if you don't write a novel."

Jinping curled his lips and said, "That day I heard a servant say that you were a 'troublemaker', and later it reached Lord Gongsun's ears, and the servant was tied up and beaten with 20 sticks. After that, no one dared to say anything about you anymore."

My forehead started throbbing when I heard this. Zheng Xian punished the entire Gongsun Mansion because of this incident, which was equivalent to me offending everyone in the Gongsun Mansion. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the Gongsun Mansion for long.

Jinping ignored my suddenly pale face and kept on nagging: "What happened to you that day? You were following us, but you disappeared in the blink of an eye. My third sister said she wanted to look for you, but I said there were so many people here, and it wasn't far from Gongsun Mansion, so you wouldn't get lost. But you actually ran into someone else's house and fell from the upstairs, almost killing yourself. Oh, how unlucky you are? If you died, we would have to pay for the repairs, wouldn't that be a loss of both life and money?"

I gritted my teeth and said, "Shut up!"

Jinping was talking excitedly, ignoring my distorted face, and continued, "Actually, you weren't that unlucky that day. We thought we were going to join in the fun, but we ran into a mob robbing the execution ground. When the execution was about to begin, suddenly a hundred people rushed out of the crowd and broke into the execution ground, holding machetes and fighting with the officers and soldiers. The scene was so tragic that I can't even describe it to you. Blood was splattered all over the sky, and many people fainted on the spot.

Later, many more soldiers came and surrounded the entire square. Those who ran slowly were either trampled to death or chopped in half. The scene was in chaos. Fortunately, Yiping and I were flexible enough. When we saw that the situation was not right, we ran as fast as we could. Finally, we ran to an alley and hid there, and that’s how we escaped.”

At this point, Jinping patted his chest and said, "Oh, I was really scared. I have had nightmares these past two days. I always dreamed that those heads were flying towards me. It was so scary."

I was stunned when I heard this. I didn't expect that there would be a follow-up to the execution that day.

Jinping saw the shocked expression on my face and smacked his lips, thinking that after talking for so long, I finally showed some expression.

He was about to continue speaking when Yi Ping hurried in with three imperial doctors.

Yiping ran to my bed and saw Jinping standing by my bed. He pushed Jinping in dissatisfaction and said, "Hurry up and do your homework. Don't be lazy. Lord Gongsun told me to keep a close eye on you. If you are lazy, report to him immediately."

Jinping reluctantly took the paper to the table, then secretly made a face while Yiping wasn't paying attention, and muttered quietly: "Master Gongsun, Master Gongsun, you always use Master Gongsun to pressure me. If you have the ability, come and write it. If you can finish a piece of paper, I'll call you Grandpa!"

All of Jinping's little movements fell into my eyes. I was both angry and amused. A sixteen-year-old is no different from a six-year-old child. He is still so childish.

The three doctors walked quickly to me. One felt my pulse, one turned my eyelids, and the other stretched out his hand and carefully pressed my chest, asking, "How do you feel?"

He pressed me like that, and it hurt so much that tears were about to fall. I endured the sharp pain and said, "It hurts!"

The three doctors looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. The doctor who was taking my pulse let go of my hand and said to me, "Young Master Zhao can wake up, which means his condition is fine. It's just that his ribs are broken. I'm afraid it won't heal in a short time. He needs to recover slowly. In addition, Young Master Zhao has been injured many times before, which has damaged his foundation. People are most afraid of an unstable foundation, which will shorten their lifespan. So Young Master Zhao must not do anything that damages his foundation again."

I sighed secretly in my heart, these things are really beyond my control.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at the yellow clay Buddha statue that Jinping had placed by the window. I didn't expect that there were three incense sticks burning in front of the Buddha statue! Gray smoke rose slowly in front of the Buddha statue, but the magical thing was that the wisps of smoke kept surrounding the Buddha statue and did not dissipate. The whole Buddha statue was shrouded in smoke and looming.

I was watching intently when Yiping suddenly pushed me and I looked at her blankly.

Yi Ping whispered, "The doctor is leaving."

I quickly said, "Farewell, Imperial Physician!"

The three imperial doctors bowed to me, gave Yi Ping some instructions and left.

As soon as the doctor left, Jinping came up to me like a rabbit and whispered, "Ah Man, Ah Man, since I burn incense for you every day, can you please talk to Lord Gongsun and let me do less homework?"

Before Jinping finished speaking, Yiping came in from outside. Seeing Jinping slacking off again, she was so angry that she yelled, "Zhao Jinping, you are slacking off again!"

Jinping made a face at Yiping, snorted coldly, and slowly returned to the table and sat down. However, the hand holding the pen seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he didn't write a single stroke for half a day.

Seeing Jinping was having a hard time writing, I said to Yiping, "I think your homework is still too little. You can talk to Lord Gongsun and ask him to double the amount. That should be enough."

Yi Ping pursed her lips and smiled secretly, saying loudly: "Second sister is right, I will go and tell Lord Gongsun later."

When Jinping heard this, he was so angry that his teeth were bared, but he didn't dare to do anything to us. He could only beat his chest to vent his anger. Yiping and I pretended not to see it.

Compared to Jinping, who is leisurely and always thinking about being lazy, Yiping is extremely busy. She feeds me medicine, food and water all the time and never stops.

Looking at the busy Yiping, I thought of Ankang. Logically speaking, he would come to take care of me since I was so seriously injured.
