Duoduo blinked her eyes.
"Last night you had a high fever, Father, but the way outside was blocked."
"Master found some strong liquor and wiped your body with it. He said it would help bring your temperature down."
When the Prince of Pingyang woke up, he had indeed smelled a strong scent of alcohol in the room.
He remembered that while he was unconscious, he vaguely felt someone rubbing something on his body.
In his dazed state, he had even thought someone was trying to roast and eat him!
"Ahem."
The Prince of Pingyang coughed.
"Father, is your throat uncomfortable?"
Duoduo immediately became nervous.
"Did you perform acupuncture on me yesterday? And more than once?"
The Prince of Pingyang wanted to confirm whether he was dreaming or if it was real.
Duoduo lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.
"I'm sorry, did I hurt you with the needles?"
A hint of surprise flashed in the Prince of Pingyang's eyes.
"Haven't you just started learning acupuncture? Did Master teach you how to use the needles?"
Duoduo shook her head.
"Not yet, Master has only taught me to memorize the meridians and acupoints."
"Father, last night Master said your condition was too dangerous, so I used the needles on you."
"But don't worry, I was confident I could definitely save you, which is why I did it."
Duoduo raised her head to explain at the end.
The Prince of Pingyang stared at Duoduo.
"You haven't even started learning, where did your confidence come from?"
Duoduo scratched the palm of her hand.
"I memorized all the meridian diagrams and acupoints Master taught me."
"And last time, you let me practice inserting needles on your body..."
Looking at the highly anxious Duoduo, the Prince of Pingyang suddenly remembered what Li Jin had said.
"Your Highness, you must have accumulated blessings in your past life to have recognized the Princess as your daughter."
"You did very well! You saved me once again."
The Prince of Pingyang's words made Duoduo's little face suddenly brighten up.
"Right? I told you I could definitely protect you, Father!"
Duoduo was so happy that her face turned red.
"Father wants to ask you a question." The Prince of Pingyang pondered for a moment.
"Okay!"
Duoduo looked at the Prince of Pingyang with bright, sparkling eyes.
"Did you also cure my legs?"
After the Prince of Pingyang finished speaking, he stared intently at Duoduo.
Duoduo originally wanted to deny it, but she remembered that she had already decided yesterday to never hide anything from her father.
"Yes!"
Duoduo nodded very sincerely.
The Prince of Pingyang couldn't help but stroke his own legs.
Beneath his hands were muscles pulsing with blood, distinctly different from his previously powerless legs.
This was the feeling he had longed for countless days and nights after being thrown from the horse.
However, he had to take a gamble!
To find out the truth behind his fall and avenge himself.
And to ensure a stable life for those who followed him.
Of course, there was also the child in front of him...
The Prince of Pingyang raised his head.
"If you can save them, you can certainly ruin them too, right?"
The Prince of Pingyang's words made Duoduo's eyes widen involuntarily.
Her stunned appearance closely resembled a small animal.
The Prince of Pingyang rubbed his fingers together.
He might not have expressed himself correctly!
"What I mean is, is there a way to make it so people cannot feel my pulse and discover that my legs are healed?"
Duoduo blinked.
"Isn't it a good thing that your legs are healed? Why can't you let others know?"
The Prince of Pingyang lowered his eyes and looked at the military book on the table.
Since he chose to trust, he would trust this once.
"Because Father suspects that there is a traitor by Father's side."
Duoduo's eyes widened perfectly round again.
"Which bad guy is it? Have Ling Feng kill him!"
Duoduo's tone was filled with urgency.
"I don't know who that person is either. It might be Ling Feng, or it could even be your... mother!"
The Prince of Pingyang paused at the very end.
After hearing this, Duoduo shook her head vigorously.
"It can't be Mother. Father, Mother is not a bad person!"
Hearing Duoduo's words, the Prince of Pingyang suddenly recalled that Duoduo had previously mentioned good people and bad people several times.
A questioning look flashed in his eyes.
"How do you know who is a good person and who is a bad person?"
Duoduo had not expected the Prince of Pingyang to ask this.
"I can feel it. Can't you feel it, Father?"
Duoduo threw the question back at the Prince of Pingyang.
The Prince of Pingyang stared at Duoduo, seeing her look back at him without flinching.
"The previous few times, it was all because of a feeling?" The Prince of Pingyang found it somewhat unbelievable.
Duoduo remembered that every time she wanted to explain the reason to her father, she would lose her ability to speak.
These were things she had seen.
Seeing is also a kind of perception, right?
"Mm!"
Duoduo nodded.
She felt there was nothing wrong with saying it this way.
"Then can you perceive what will happen in the future at any time?"
The Prince of Pingyang was a bit curious.
Duoduo thought seriously for a moment, then shook her head.
"No."
"It's only when there is danger that I can... can perceive it."
Duoduo almost bit her own tongue just now.
It seemed her feeling was correct.
As long as she tried to tell the truth, she would lose her ability to speak.
The Prince of Pingyang fell silent.
Duoduo's words meant she could foresee when he was in danger.
If so, Li Jin was absolutely right.
It must be a blessing from several lifetimes that he had adopted Duoduo on a whim.
"What about you? Are you a good person?"
The Prince of Pingyang ultimately asked this question.
As soon as he asked it, he regretted it.
He had struggled in the world for over a decade; since when did he start asking others if they were good people?
Duoduo looked steadily at the Prince of Pingyang, slowly walking closer to him.
She walked right up to the Prince of Pingyang, her big eyes full of determination.
"Of course I am a good person. What about you, Father? Are you a good person?"
The Prince of Pingyang's eyes flickered.
"I am a good person, and also a bad person!"
Confusion appeared in Duoduo's eyes.
A good person is also a bad person? Then is he a good person or a bad person?
Confused, she asked it out loud.
"To good people, I am a good person."
"To bad people, I am a bad person!"
Duoduo was very perplexed.
"To good people, I am a good person?"
"To bad people, I am a bad person?"
The Prince of Pingyang remained silent, waiting for Duoduo to think it over herself.
He believed that with Duoduo's intelligence, she would definitely be able to figure out the meaning behind it.
Duoduo kept repeating these two sentences, her little face scrunched up.
Grrr!
Duoduo's stomach growled with hunger.
The Prince of Pingyang looked at the water clock. "Go wash up, then go eat breakfast."
"Mm."
Duoduo walked out mechanically, like a mummy.
Her mouth was still muttering those two sentences.
The Prince of Pingyang watched Duoduo's little body disappear in the doorway, then lowered his head to continue reading the military book.
Duoduo walked out, muttering to herself the whole way.
"Princess, what is wrong with you?"
Li Jin had finally woken up and come out to find food.
As a result, he saw Duoduo engrossed in muttering something.
"Good morning, Master."
Duoduo greeted him and continued walking forward.
Morning?
Li Jin looked at the sun in the sky and doubted his ears.
He leaned in close to Duoduo and finally heard clearly what she was saying.
"To good people, I am a good person?"
"To bad people, I am a bad person?"
