The Zerg Queen, who is assigned to me, wants to kill me!

Chapter 53 Taking care of them...

Qi Min smiled with satisfaction, obeyed Ling Yi's instructions, and quietly sat in the chair he had been sitting in before.

Watching Ling Yi carefully wipe his face and back with a wet towel, avoiding the wound on his shoulder.

Qi Min felt the deliberate gentleness in his movements, looked at Ling Yi's serious profile, and recalled the force Ling Yi had used when wiping the blood from his nose earlier.

Compared to before, Ling Yi at this moment was noticeably more serious and meticulous.

Qi Min's back and neck were quickly wiped clean, and Ling Yi picked up the hospital gown to help Qi Min put it on.

"The front hasn't been wiped yet..."

Qi Min seemed to be reminding him, but he raised his arm to make it easier for Ling Yi to move.

"The wound in front still needs to be bandaged. When the doctor bandages it, he will clean it for you."

Ling Yi worked tirelessly, quickly draping a hospital gown over Qi Min and answering Qi Min's questions.

Well, since Ling Yi had said so, Qi Min could only cooperate and let him help him up, then weakly leaning on Ling Yi all the way back to the hospital bed.

Throughout the entire process, Qi Min maintained an expression that said, "I'm very weak, I need your care, and I don't have the strength to walk."

Ling Yi found it both infuriating and amusing, feeling that Qi Min sometimes acted like a... dependent young boy in front of him.

When Ling Huiyao was one or two years old, he was very dependent on and affectionate towards his female insect brother.

At that time, Ling Yi didn't particularly like or get close to Ling Huiyao, but he wouldn't have disliked a one- or two-year-old boy either.

Every time Ling Huiyao came to find him, Ling Zhenhao would take him away and warn himself...

He was not allowed to appear outside his room, and in particular, Ling Yi was not allowed to approach him, nor was his son, Ling Huiyao.

Ling Yi, who was only seven or eight years old, scoffed at what Ling Zhenhao said and retorted that Ling Zhenhao should first take care of his male son instead of warning him, a female son who was not even allowed to leave the room.

Finally, and naturally, he was given a severe beating again. This continued as Ling Huiyao grew up...

From around the age of four, he began to take pleasure in bullying and beating his female insect brothers, just like his male father.

Among them was Ling Yi. Finally, one day, six-year-old Ling Huiyao also began to learn to use knives, just like his father, to make himself happier.

It was at that time that Ling Yi first defied him and beat Ling Huiyao severely.

Although in the end, he was tied up and beaten half to death by Ling Zhenhao.

But Ling Yi never regretted his rebellion back then, and it was from that time that he truly had a name of his own.

Lingyi means 'an abnormal female insect'.

Ling Yi liked his name very much and felt that it was the only good thing Ling Zhenhao had ever done for him.

Before meeting Qi Min, Ling Yi had never imagined that being with a male insect would bring him the same comfort and respect as being with a female insect.

He approached Qi Min with a high degree of vigilance and suspicion, after all, Qi Min had been overly friendly to him at first.

But the respect and equality that Qi Min gave him were exactly what Ling Yi longed to get from this society. It has to be said that Qi Min's various behaviors really made him feel somewhat addicted.

Looking at Qi Min, who was lying on the hospital bed with an innocent and harmless expression, Ling Yi couldn't help but think...

'If Qi Min continues to act this way in front of him, then it wouldn't be impossible for him and this male insect to continue living like this.'

"My lord, please rest first. I'll go and call the doctor to bandage you up."

After speaking softly to Qi Min, Ling Yi turned around and went out to find Liu Jin.

"How could this happen? Didn't I tell Lord Qi Min to rest properly? How did the wound reopen?!"

Liu Jin walked quickly into the ward, her footsteps echoing in her own voice, and approached Qi Min's bedside with a concerned expression.

He bent down and leaned closer, frowning as he examined the wound on Qi Min's shoulder that had been torn open again. With a displeased expression, he re-bandaged Qi Min.

"Commander Ling, you are His Majesty Qi Min's consort. Taking care of him is your duty, and I shouldn't be the one repeatedly reminding you of that."

But I am a doctor, and it is my duty to care for every male insect that enters the hospital.

If you are truly unable to take good care of Lord Qi Min, I can take care of him in your place.

After bandaging the wound, Liu Jin frowned and looked at Ling Yi, who stood calmly to the side, making no attempt to hide his opinion of him.

In just one morning, Liu Jin had already bandaged Qi Min's wounds twice.

Even if it wasn't out of affection for Qi Min, Liu Jin's dissatisfaction stemmed solely from his duty as a doctor.

In the hospital, which male insect that is unwell is not being carefully cared for by its female lord and female servants?

There has never been a case where a male insect's wound, which had been properly treated, repeatedly reopened and bled.

Ling Yi listened to Liu Jin's words and remained silent. Indeed, Qi Min's condition was partly due to his inadequate care, and he couldn't refute Liu Jin's point.

But what does "taking care of" mean...?

Upon hearing this, Ling Yi couldn't help but look up at Liu Jin's still angry face, scrutinizing him closely. His eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly seemed to understand something.

Ling Yi lowered his eyes, pondering his guesses, remaining silent with his head down, looking guilty and remorseful.

"Doctor, it was my own insistence that I went to wash up. It has nothing to do with my mate. Doctor, are you talking to the wrong person?"

Before Ling Yi could say anything, Qi Min couldn't stand it anymore. The person he had just coaxed was being constantly blamed by Liu Jin.

Even knowing that Liu Jin acted this way out of duty as a doctor, worried about the patient's injuries, Qi Min still couldn't tolerate it.

"Your Excellency Qi Min, even if it was your own insistence, Commander Ling, as your empress..."

His failure to offer advice and make proper arrangements led to the further aggravation of your wound; this is his responsibility, and you do not need to explain yourself on his behalf.

Liu Jin frowned slightly, his tone still carrying dissatisfaction and reproach towards Ling Yi.

"I……"

Qi Min opened his mouth to refute, but was interrupted by Ling Yi.

"My lord, you don't need to speak for me. It is indeed my responsibility as the female ruler that I failed to take good care of you."

The doctor is right, but please rest assured, I will take even better care of my master from now on, so you don't need to worry.

Ling Yi interrupted Qi Min before he could finish speaking, speaking in a tone of self-reproach.

Then she turned to Liu Jin and made it clear that she would take better care of Qi Min and did not need his help.
