Seeming to be able to see the astonishment in her eyes, Qu Li's expression didn't change as he continued, "Your mother taught you. Although you haven't improved in many years, you haven't."
Gu Danyan did not have anything else to say, and he only coldly pulled his hand away: "I am a doctor myself, I will be fine after taking the medicine."
"Then your meridian …" Before Qu Li finished his sentence, he saw one of Gu Danyan's arms tightly clutching the quilt. He immediately lifted the quilt slightly from his feet. Gu Daiyan was shocked again, and the terrifying look on her calves was clearly seen.
"That's what you said!" Qu Li put the blanket back.
This time, Gu Danyan didn't dare to say a word, he was only pressed on the shoulder by Qu Li to give the two imperial physicians a pulse, and he couldn't help but be plagued by two Imperial Physicians who were over a hundred years old talking about how to not pay attention to his body. On the other hand, the Imperial Physician was also at a loss for what to do: "I'm afraid this poison won't dissipate for a while, plus His Highness' s leg has suffered frostbite, and should be treated for a few years before being able to recover."
Hearing the words' several years', Qu Li's face darkened.
After everyone had left, there was only the father and daughter pair left in the hall. Qu Li's face had an extremely dignified air to it, but his hands were massaging her like they had been taught by the imperial physician just now. "You should take good care of yourself here for now. We'll talk about other matters in the future."
"Time doesn't wait for me. Speaking of which, you haven't really confirmed that I'm your daughter …"
The remaining words were blocked by Qu Li's gaze and he couldn't say a word. Gu Daiyan could only turn her head away guiltily, looking at the painting by the wall, feeling slightly nervous.
How dare she say it wasn't his daughter!
Qu Li wished he could teach this disobedient daughter of his a lesson in his heart. However, when he thought of his leg which was as purple as a vine, he felt an excruciating pain in his heart.
"Although Navy Tide hid you well enough, and even gifted you to the King of Jing, you are still my daughter." Qu Li patiently spoke as he lightly rubbed her calf. "I have not accompanied you for many years and have caused you to suffer so much. I will definitely treat you well in the future and leave you in peace here …"
"Is that how you become emperor?" There was no gentleness in that pair of peach blossom eyes that were different from Yun Ling's. There was only a sharpness created by a cold glow: "Jiang Yan's slaves have never been treated like human beings. If I had moved earlier, they would have been able to leave the sea of suffering earlier."
"You are already Emperor Aldan, so in this world, only the land of Altan can enter your eyes?"
Gu Dingli had also withdrawn his hand and calmed down, "What I want is for you to live a peaceful life for the rest of your life. There are many people who are willing to worry about this world."
"Since I am worried, I naturally have to contribute. The reason why I am here in the first place is not because I must acknowledge you. I merely hope that you can add fuel to the fire." When he said this, Gu Daiyan sighed: "My leg is nothing …"
"But my heart is in pain." Qu Li's large palm landed on her shoulder. His grave and stern face was now filled with pain. "Do you know how frightened I was when I found out that Princess Cang Lan Jing had passed away?"
Gu Danyan froze for a second, and then grabbed half of the blanket with his fingertips. The cold glint in his eyes immediately disappeared without a trace.
"What you have to do is a good thing, a big thing. I feel very gratified, but I don't want you to risk your life." Qu Li carefully rubbed her head with his palm, and his voice became softer, "But it's me and Yun Mou who left you behind to grow up. I'm afraid you've suffered a lot. In the future, I'll accompany you more and I'll know that our relationship has passed by heaven."
Who would have thought that her biological father would still be an iron man with tender feelings for her.
Normally, Gu Danyan would definitely retort, but when the words were about to reach his mouth, he couldn't say a word.
When he came back to his senses, Qu Li had already gently rubbed his hair into his arms. He said, "Just tell me what you want to do. If possible, I will discuss it with your brother. It would be better if I can do it."
"Little brother?" "What little brother …"
"I already sent someone to get him. He'll be here soon." Qu Li embarrassedly helped her tidy up her messy hair. He didn't forget to tell her to tell her if he felt uncomfortable before he left.
Gu Danyan rubbed the tip of his nose.
The backlash he felt earlier was suppressed as he sighed.
"That's great, I was completely eaten by him." Gu Danyan rubbed his head in pain.
Why was it that due to her identity as a doctor in her previous life, she had always kept her word and could not be refuted? Yet, she was still eaten alive by people in this place.
Moreover, he seemed to be in a bad condition ever since he came here.
Previously, she was the only one who taught her patients a lesson, but now that they were discovered to be ill, these people who were not doctors had all strutted onto her head.
Thinking about this gave him a headache, but then he thought that if someone came to visit later, he should get some clean clothes and some hot water from the palace maids.
When it was time for dinner, Qu Li wanted to ask the two to meet again, but Gu Mingyan had already changed into a green robe and came in with a small lantern. The two palace maids followed him from behind.
Qu Li only raised his hand and ordered people to prepare the food. When Gu Daiyan walked in, she immediately saw the man wearing the dark blue water striped gown. Although he was still young, he could already see the muscular body beneath the shirt.
What was different about Qu Li was that he probably didn't have a single trace of dignity on his face, but his eyes were big and round.
"Elder sister." Gu Danyan was stunned on the spot the moment that person spoke, and felt very uncomfortable all over.
"His name is Qu Hao, the current crown prince. He's also your younger brother."
"I'm not used to people calling me sister, so you can call me by my name." Gu Danyan quickly said and sat down in front of the table. Before the two of them could say anything, she had already started eating.
Although Qu Li and Qu Hao had seen a lot of bold and unrestrained women in the city, they had never seen anyone like Gu Danyan.
Qu Hao was very curious about his elder sister. When he went out to the Navy Tide Palace, he had heard that Princess Consort Jing was a kind and peaceful person. She was someone who could hang out with the poor and be a kind person.
From the looks of it, he had a temper.
However, when Gu Xuan Yan had finished her meal, Qu Li and Qu Hao felt a little embarrassed. They then heard Gu Ming Yan say, "Did His Highness tell the Crown Prince what I just said?"
"Uncle already told me." Qu Hao poured another bowl of soup for her before chuckling. "But we can't talk about official matters during the meal. You're my sister, so you can't call me 'crown prince'. Just call me by my name."
