Forced love, an inescapable fate

Mu Qingli naturally didn't know what Bai Yu and the others were thinking, but looking at Bai Yu's performance just now, it seemed that this young doctor's medical skills should be quite good, and he felt a lot more at ease.

Seeing Su Minsheng take out the silver needle, he couldn't help but be amazed. He didn't expect that he knew acupuncture. This seemed very inconsistent with his age.

Su Minsheng noticed Mu Qingli's eyes and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Miss, since you've stayed, you must be his closest relative. Please take off his clothes while I give him acupuncture later."

Mu Qingli nodded, and took off Jiang Ci's clothes according to his instructions, and then saw Su Minsheng skillfully giving Jiang Ci acupuncture.

As for Bai Yu and Wan Yue, they were standing outside the door, listening to the movements inside with their ears perked up, but they only heard Su Minsheng asking Mu Qingli to take off Jiang Ci's clothes, and nothing else after that.

Wanyue glared at Baiyu.

"You're so confident in leaving His Highness to those two people inside. What if something happens?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness is fine. The young doctor may not look very old, but his medical skills surpass many doctors. As for Princess Qingli, there's even less to worry about. She cares about Your Highness as much as you and I do."

"That's true, but didn't you tell me before that I should supervise Princess Qingli at all times? Didn't you say that she treated His Highness very badly before?"

"this ......"

Bai Yu was a little speechless. It was indeed like this before, but ever since Princess Qingli was beaten up by the Third Prince and barely escaped death, she seemed to have changed, becoming a little different from before.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, Wanyue. Let's discuss how to tell Princess Qingli that His Highness is injured. If we accidentally reveal His Highness's plan, we will really be exiled to the wilderness to do hard labor."

Wan Yue scoffed. "If anyone wants to go, it should be you. Didn't you promise His Highness that no one would know His Highness's whereabouts? And where did the men in black come from tonight? We can't even confirm their identities right now. What if they have accomplices?"

Wanyue's questioning made Bai Yu feel a little embarrassed. This matter was indeed his negligence and he could not shirk his responsibility. What's more, the most important thing was that His Highness was injured. Now they didn't know who sent these men in black. Dongli Town was no longer safe. No matter what, they could not stay here for long and had to return to Jingguo as soon as possible.

But no matter whether I leave now or later, I must tell Princess Qingli the reason why His Highness was injured.

But how could he explain it so that she wouldn't be suspicious? He couldn't think of a good reason, so he could only look at Wanyue for help.

Wanyue saw his eyes and naturally knew what he was thinking.

His head shook like a rattle.

"Don't look at me. Although I am responsible for His Highness' injury, you are our leader. You should figure out a solution to this matter."

Seeing that there was no hope of asking for help, Bai Yu suddenly became dejected. He didn't want to lie, but who told him to have a willful master?

He looked at Wanyue with eager eyes.

Looking at his pitiful appearance, Wanyue felt a little sorry for him, and finally had no choice but to nod helplessly.

"Alright, there's really nothing I can do about you. Since you've already made up such a miserable life story for me, I don't mind making it even more miserable. When you explain to Princess Qingli later, just say that we ran into the same group of people who wanted to buy me into the brothel. Your Highness got injured trying to help me, and you stumbled upon us by accident, so you saved us. One more thing, I think it's best for you to stay with the master. What happened today was so sudden that we didn't react at all. This kind of thing can't happen again in the future, so before the master wakes up, you'd better find a way to get Princess Qingli to agree to let you stay. That way, if anything unexpected does happen, we can respond in time."

Wanyue's words made Bai Yu feel ashamed. He really hadn't thought of this.

"Wanyue, you're right. This matter was indeed my negligence. Although His Highness is capable, he is still young after all, so we, his subordinates, must be more considerate of him. But what excuse can I make to stay? You rely on playing the victim, but I, a grown man, can't say I was abandoned or something like that."

Wanyue supported her chin with her hand, thinking about what Bai Yu had just said.

Indeed, what kind of reasonable excuse would be needed to keep him here?

Suddenly, she had an idea.

"Just say you're a martial artist with some kung fu experience. Say you're worried those bad guys who wanted to take me to the brothel will come and cause trouble for us again. So, you should stay here for a while. Given the princess's concern for His Highness, she'll definitely agree."

Bai Yu felt that Wan Yue's analysis made sense. The two of them agreed on a plan and just waited for the situation to be over.

Half an hour had passed since Su Minsheng finished acupuncture on Jiang Ci. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and spoke softly to Mu Qingli, who looked worried.

"Miss, I have temporarily suppressed the poison in the young master's body. It shouldn't break out in the short term. However, with my current medical skills, I can only suppress the poison temporarily, but I can't cure it. If you want a cure, you have to find a doctor with more advanced medical skills. As for the young master's injuries, I have already treated them. I will write a prescription for you later. You can go and get the medicine according to the prescription. As for changing the medicine, I will make time to come here every day. My clinic is just south of the town. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time."

Su Minsheng always smiled when he spoke, which made people feel comfortable looking at him. Mu Qingli thought that he was probably not much older than herself, but he was so capable, so she couldn't help but admire him a little.

In addition, the man she had the most contact with during this period was Jiang Ci, and Jiang Ci was much younger than her. At this time, looking at Su Minsheng, who was about the same age as her, a sense of intimacy arose spontaneously.

"I don't know what to call you, little doctor. I'm really sorry to have disturbed you for so long in the middle of the night."

Su Minsheng heard her call him "Little Doctor". Although people he knew in the town would call him that on weekdays, no young woman had ever called him that before. Especially when this woman looked at him, there was admiration in her eyes that he could clearly see, and her little fangs were exposed when she smiled. He had never seen a woman look at a man so openly before, and he inexplicably developed a good impression of her.

The fatigue from the continuous acupuncture treatment had disappeared, but when a fair and tender girl looked at him so openly and with admiration, his face inexplicably turned red.
