Remember "Bookworm" in one second.

  Just as he said, at the moment of administering the injection to cure the illness, Ling Xiao still couldn't help but feel flustered and anxious, instinctively stretching out his hand: "Ah Jiu!"

  "Don't be afraid, I'm here." A familiar hand grasped his, and the soft voice of Ling Jingyu sounded in his ear.

  Ling Xiao's flustered and uneasy heart immediately calmed down a lot.

  The imperial physician unfolded the package with the golden needles, turned his head and saw the sister and brother holding hands in a dependent manner, but instead of feeling moved, he furrowed his brow.

  "Miss Ling, you wait in the outer hall for now."

  Ling Jingyu was taken aback and blurted out: "Why?"

  The previously gentle Wei Taiyi's expression turned solemn, his eyes revealing displeasure: "When I'm administering acupuncture to a patient, I least want someone disturbing me. The patient can't be distracted, and I need to focus my attention."

  Ling Jingxu thoughtlessly guaranteed: "From now on, I guarantee that I won't make a sound, not even the sound of breathing, and absolutely won't disturb you while you're giving injections..."

  Wei Taiyi interrupted Ling Jingyu calmly: "Similar words, you've said them countless times since you came in. The fact is that each time you can't help but make me waste my breath and time."

  Ling Jingxu: "......"

  Ling Jingxu hadn't felt this kind of shyness and embarrassment for a long time.

  The beauty of life is always treated specially. Especially men, can't help but be more tolerant towards beautiful girls.

  This imperial physician was indeed as rumored, showing no favoritism or flirtation with women.

  Ling Xiao and Ling Jingyu were on the same wavelength, so he naturally knew how embarrassed and angry Ling Jingyu was at this moment. He quickly whispered to comfort her: "Ah-jing, why don't you go out and wait for me first? I trust Wei Taifu, and you should too."

  The anger in Ling Jing's heart was suddenly extinguished: "Okay, I'll go out and wait for you."

  Having said that, he got up and walked out.

  From head to toe, he didn't even glance at Wei Taigong once.

  This slightly childish provocative move did not make Wei Taigong change his expression. He picked up the long golden needle and said in a low voice, "Ling Gongzi, please calm down, don't be nervous, and don't move around. It will probably hurt a bit, just bear with it for a moment."

  Ling Xiao took a deep breath and nodded seriously in response.

  ......

  Ling Jingxu stepped out of the inner hall and instantly attracted everyone's attention.

  Fumin County Master, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, stared tightly at Ling Jingxiao with a pair of wonderful eyes. If a person's gaze could kill people, Ling Jingxiao would have been killed by her gaze long ago.

  Ling Jingxian didn't have the mood to care about Fu Minjun's provocative gaze, and quickly walked over to Ling Xiangjiang.

  "How did you end up coming out alone?" Ling Xi asked eagerly: "Where's Ah Xiao? Why didn't he come out with you?"

  Ling Jingxu somewhat awkwardly replied: "Attending Physician Wei is administering acupuncture treatment to him. He doesn't allow me by his side."

  So, Ling Jingxu was driven out?!

  Jiang was somewhat surprised and amused, saying in a low voice: "This Wei Taifu is really not good at cherishing talent. He actually drove Ah-jiao out."

  Other men would be eager to take a closer look at such a beauty, but Wei Taiyi simply chased Ling Jingyu away!

  Ling Jingxuan has grown up so big, probably hasn't met such an unromantic man yet!

  Ling Xi was also taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Rumor has it that Wei Taifu is chaste and self-disciplined, not close to women. No matter how beautiful the girl is, she won't be able to attract his attention. It turns out that the rumors are all true."

  "Cousin, cousin's wife, stop teasing me." Ling Jingxu smiled helplessly and quickly changed the subject: "Wei Taisheng said that Ah Xiao's eye disease is caused by brain injury and blood blockage. If it's delayed for another six years, even if he treats it manually, there's only a 30% chance of success."

  Speaking of which, Ling Xi and Jiang Shi also lost their playful mood and each collected their smiles.

  Ling Xi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Wei Taiyi's medical skills are exceptional, and he has cured many patients who were thought to be incurable. He said there is a 30% chance of success. We have to try it out. Even if it doesn't work, it won't make things worse than they are now!"

  Who says it won't work?

  Ling Jingxiao's smile became even more bitter and helpless: "Even if we put a needle on our head, there is still risk. But Ah Xiao has made up his mind to treat his eyes, and I have no choice but to follow him."

  "Dr. Wei probably said it was more serious on purpose, so we wouldn't have high expectations and couldn't bear the disappointment. You don't have to worry too much either, Ah Xiao will definitely be fine."

  Ling Jingyu nodded and then whispered apologetically: "Elder sister-in-law, I have another favor to ask of you."

  "Just say what you want to say. What's the point of saying things that sound nice but aren't sincere?" Jiang smiled and said, "If it's something I can do, why would I decline?"

  Ling Xi also had a curious expression.

  Ling Jingyu repeated what Wei Taizhen had said, word for word: "Wei Taizhen said that Ah Xiao's eye disease needs to be treated from three aspects. Take medicine orally, apply ointment externally, and administer acupuncture once every five days. But he is usually in the palace and has no time to come to Hui Chun Tang frequently..."

  Ling Xi and her husband saw how serious she was, so they listened even more carefully.

  When Ling Jingyu mentioned the Crown Prince's residence, Ling Xi and Jiang Shi exchanged a subconscious glance, revealing a knowing smile.

  The imperial palace is not easy to enter, and the gate of the crown prince's mansion is not something that anyone can enter at will. However, having formed a connection with the crown prince on this trip, it wouldn't be too much to put on a thick face and pay a visit.

  Perhaps the Crown Prince would be delighted to see the Ling family coming to their doorstep...

  Ling Jingyu pretended not to see the slightly awkward smiles on their faces, and calmly continued with a steady tone: "...So, I'll have to trouble you, Eldest Sister-in-law. After today, please take us siblings to the Crown Prince's residence again, and request an audience with the Crown Princess."

  Jiang smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better to go directly to request an audience with the Crown Prince?"

  Why bother finding a crown prince's consort?

  Ling Jingxian seemed to have not heard the ridicule in Jiang's words and replied seriously: "The Crown Prince must be very busy handling matters of the Eastern Palace every day. It would be impolite for us to trouble the Crown Prince with such a small matter."

  "Besides, the internal affairs of the palace are handled by the Crown Prince's consort. Since we need to enter the Crown Prince's mansion, it is only natural that we should go and request an audience with the Crown Prince's consort. This way, we can avoid any misunderstandings or gossip."

  Ling Jingyu said this with such seriousness that Jiang couldn't tease her anymore, and solemnly agreed: "You're right. When I get back today, I'll first report this to my mother-in-law. Tomorrow I'll accompany you to the Crown Prince's mansion."

  "However, you also need to have some mental preparation. Although I have a distant relationship with the Crown Prince, it's still quite far-fetched. Visiting him at his residence won't be rejected outright. But whether or not we can get the Crown Princess to agree, I dare not guarantee."

  Ling Jing exhaled softly and smiled slightly: "Whether it's successful or not, thank you so much, Eldest Sister-in-law."
