“Your Highness, this old servant has troubled you.”
Qian Dafu’s face was still pale. Blood loss and the cold had rendered him unconscious shortly after being struck by the arrow.
Xiao Ming had instructed Ziyuan to bring a coal stove into Qian Dafu’s room. The added warmth helped him regain consciousness.
Doctor Sun remarked, “Fortunately, the severe cold caused Steward Qian’s wound to freeze, preventing excessive blood loss. Otherwise, his life might have been in grave danger.”
Xiao Ming, still shaken, nodded in gratitude. “Thank you for your efforts, Doctor Sun.”
The physician was taken aback and quickly bowed. “Your Highness, this is merely my duty. You are too kind.”
Ziyuan and Lü luo were tending to Qian Dafu. Seeing Doctor Sun so flustered, Lü Luo covered her mouth and giggled.
It seemed the physician was startled by Prince Qi’s unusually polite demeanor. She and Ziyuan had also needed about a month to adjust to his changed personality.
After a final check on Qian Dafu, Doctor Sun said, “Since Steward Qian is out of danger, I shall take my leave.”
Xiao Ming nodded, signaling Lü Luo to escort the physician to the door. The doctor hurriedly waved his hands in refusal, clearly unaccustomed to such treatment.
For Xiao Ming, talent was the most valuable resource. Treating skilled individuals with respect was a simple yet crucial principle—one he could easily uphold as someone with modern sensibilities.
