C17 This Is the Token of West Cold
Nian Qingci hurriedly changed her clothes. Before she could even bring her medicine case over to the Third Prince's Mansion entrance, she already saw Guan Zhong, who was waiting for her outside.
"Why is Doctor Qin here so late today?"
Normally, she would have to wait outside for two hours before she could enter.
Nian Qingci smiled apologetically. "There are many patients in the infirmary today. I can't get away."
"Alright, hurry and enter. Your Highness is waiting for you." Guan Zhong didn't say much and directly led Nian Qingci to the study room.
She had just left the study not long ago, and now she had to change her identity.
Nian Qingci frowned slightly.
Si Junling was an unfathomable person.
Now that she had left the Minister's Mansion, there was no need for her to take such a risk.
She had to think of a way to get rid of her duty of treating Third Prince.
After Nian Qingci entered the room, she started giving Si Junling acupuncture as usual. Just out of the corner of her eyes, she would occasionally place her acupuncture on the desk in front of her.
The faint outline of a small corner of a token could be seen.
The person who went out just now …
Nian Qingci narrowed her eyes slightly, a trace of faint smile appearing in her eyes.
After quickly helping Si Junling with acupuncture and moxibustion, he held the side of the table by the legs in preparation.
Nian Qingci feigned a numbness in her legs. Her body slanted and fell towards the desk.
The items on the table were all swept away by her.
"Clang!" One of the objects fell down and made a crisp sound.
Nian Qingci feigned terror. "Wang, your highness, forgive me, I didn't do it on purpose!"
With these words, Nian Qingci intentionally ran to the desk and picked up the things that had been swept away by her, especially the command medallion.
She held it in her hand and deliberately took another glance at it. She was somewhat puzzled. "This is …"
Nian Qingci wanted to say something, but hesitated.
However, the truth was that he knew very well.
The pattern on the order badge belonged to the West Cold of a neighbouring nation.
He was a prince of Dongqi, and he held onto the token for West Cold. This …
In the face of this sudden change, Si Junling didn't even raise his eyes. He was still leaning back in his teacher's chair with his eyes closed, resting. However, the pressure from his body seemed to have become more intense.
The aura of this man...
Si Junling slightly curled his fingers and lightly knocked on the back of the chair. In a deep voice, he said, "Qin Nian? Did This King forget all the things that I said back then? "
Nian Qingci's heart quivered slightly. "Reporting to your highness, this lowly one hasn't forgotten."
It was unknown whether or not he would listen to a doctor in Third Prince's Mansion.
Nian Qingci placed the token back in its place, kneeling as she pleaded, "Your highness, please forgive me. I haven't seen anything today."
The atmosphere in the room was cramped and depressing.
Nian Qingci, who was kneeling on the ground, was trembling, looking completely terrified.
Guan Zhong watched from the side and carefully looked at his master's expression.
He couldn't help but plead on Nian Qingci's behalf, "Your Highness, it's getting late, Doctor Qin should go back now …"
Si Junling remained silent.
Guan Zhong walked quietly to Nian Qingci's side, patted her shoulder and winked at her.
Nian Qingci instantly understood and saluted Si Junling, "I will take my leave."
Seeing no reaction from Si Junling, Nian Qingci stood up and quickly followed Guan Zhong out of the study room.
Nian Qingci finally let out a long sigh of relief after they had left the Third Prince's Mansion realm.
Guan Zhong also let out a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but speak sincerely, "Doctor Qin, you always know the rules. Why are you being so rash today?"
Nian Qingci feigned an expression of lingering fear. "Thank you for your help just now, Butler. Fortunately, I didn't offend the prince. Otherwise, my life might have been in danger."
