Upon hearing this, Magistrate Song thought about the person he had just seen, who showed no signs of any injuries. He asked, "Then how did he... get better?"
Zhuo Jin spoke without hesitation, "My daughter coincidentally obtained a divine medicine. The person who gave it to me said it could completely transform one's body. I saw how pitiful he was these past few days, so I gave him the medicine, and he became like this."
"You are truly audacious," Magistrate Song said. "Where did you get that divine medicine from? What if someone with ill intentions used you to get rid of the Sixth Prince? If they gave you poison, and something happened to the Sixth Prince, our Song family would be finished."
"The divine medicine was naturally obtained from a divine physician. The divine physician is currently at the Sixth Prince's manor. If Father doesn't believe me, I can invite her to our manor."
Seeing her speak so confidently and mentioning the "divine physician," Magistrate Song felt somewhat reassured but still thought she was too impulsive.
"Even so, you shouldn't have been so reckless. Acting within the family, what if something truly happened? If a reigning prince died at the Song family's home, the Song family..."
"He's awake."
Madam Song stared blankly at the bed. The person who had been so bundled up that not a single strand of hair was visible now poked out a head and was looking at them sideways.
The atmosphere immediately became a little awkward.
"Father, Mother, please step out for a moment."
Magistrate Song huffed, his beard bristling. "Shouldn't you be the one to step out?"
Zhuo Jin replied with a smile, "I've seen everything there is to see, why should I step out?"
Magistrate Song: "..." A rebellious daughter!
Madam Song looked at her husband, then at her daughter. Finally, she pulled at Magistrate Song's sleeve and led him away.
After all, they were about to get married. As long as it didn't get out, it wouldn't matter.
"Don't pull me!"
"Let's go, husband..."
Madam Song even closed the door behind them.
Zhuo Jin walked over and looked at the person on the bed, who had a vacant expression. She asked, "You're awake. Does it still hurt anywhere?"
Baili Chongyan could feel that he was completely unclothed, and the mask on his face was gone. He looked somewhat uneasy.
"You..."
He opened his mouth and found that his throat had completely recovered. He widened his eyes in surprise, "I, I'm better?"
His body no longer ached. He could feel his legs.
He was better!
"Mm." Zhuo Jin sat beside him. "I said I would cure you. How do you feel? Does it still hurt?"
This man had fainted from pain before.
The surprise in Baili Chongyan's eyes was almost overflowing. His smoothly contoured, delicate flesh-toned face was etched with joy. If it weren't for his nakedness, he would have been jumping for joy.
"It doesn't hurt, it's great!"
Never felt so good!
It was like a rebirth, like salvation!
Zhuo Jin looked at his tender face and, with a calm expression, reached out and pinched it. "Don't get too excited. Your body has just recovered; you'll need to recuperate for a while."
It was only tender now, soft to the touch. It would change in time, and opportunities to pinch were rare.
Baili Chongyan was a little confused.
Seeing her casual demeanor, he ultimately did not ask for the reason.
"Mm, I, I'll be calm."
He should be calm. So much time had passed, and he had thought there was no hope for him in this life, yet someone could still save him.
She saved him from the darkness, from the mire, from hell!
She was like a god sent from heaven to redeem him!

Three consecutive reminders, the system was even more excited than Zhuo Jin. It spun in circles and shouted in her mind, filling Zhuo Jin's head with its voice.
"Quiet down."
The system immediately fell silent.
But it was still spinning, expressing its joy through its actions.
Zhuo Jin couldn't be bothered to deal with it. She picked up clothes and helped Baili Chongyan get dressed. Looking at him, who had instantly changed his appearance, she felt a pang of affection.
"Do you want me to carry you?"
Before, it was because he couldn't walk, but now? Baili Chongyan's already delicate face turned even redder.
Zhuo Jin's hands itched.
"Do you know what you look like right now?"
Hmm?
Baili Chongyan looked up at her with a lost expression.
"Like a young master being flirted with. You look best when you're shy."
Baili Chongyan: "..."
This person was truly wicked and loved to tease him.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Young master, quickly get down and try walking."
Baili Chongyan froze for a moment. He gave her a sidelong glance, his eyes twinkling with an adorable charm that made Zhuo Jin's heart flutter even more.
Although his former image of commanding armies on the battlefield, looking majestic and dashing, was also very handsome, occasional moments like this were also a kind of pleasure.
It made her want to tease him even more.
Baili Chongyan, however, quickly got off the bed and tried to run barefoot.
But after not walking for so long, the consequence of his recklessness was predictable.
With a thud, he fell to the ground, seeing stars.
"Hahaha..."
