"Impossible!" Jing Lai couldn't help but interject, "Forgive me, Master, for speaking out of turn."
The crowd shook their heads; how could they blame him?
Jing Lai said, "The Marquis would never agree to it."
"No need to tell him," Fu Shinian said, "As long as the Marquis doesn't find out."
"It's impossible. If the Marquis discovers we all kept it from him..."
"Then let him vent his anger once he's well again," Fu Shinian said, "I can't bear to see him not even have the chance to be angry."
"The Marquis would never vent his anger on you," Jing Lai said hastily, "He would surely be furious with me instead."
"If that's truly the case, I'll shield you when the time comes."
"It's not just about whether you shield me or not," Jing Lai said anxiously, "You can't take this risk! Let me do it instead!"
"With your robust health, how can you be of any use?" Fu Shinian said.
Jing Lai immediately looked at the Imperial Physicians.
