However, sensing Song Ruoan's expectant gaze, He Yunze still answered seriously:

"It feels great. Lord Lin appreciates me highly because of you and praises me in every way. The other officials in the Secretariat also know that you are skilled in medicine, so they all treat me differently and are very polite to me."

As He Yunze spoke, a surge of immense pride welled up within him.

In his previous life, he wasn't as popular as he is in this one.

Hearing this, Song Ruoan was overjoyed. She sat down next to He Yunce with admiration, her eyes sparkling.

"And what about Vice Minister Xin?"

When He Yunze thought of Minister Xin, his eyes darkened: "Minister Xin is biased and gullible, and he still refuses to believe me and ignores my attempts to befriend him."

"But it's alright. Once you've completely cured Lin Qianjin, he'll know and will ask you to treat Madam Xin."

Roughly calculating the days, it has been four or five days since Lin Qianjin started treatment. Song Ruoan said that as long as she drinks the medicine for seven days, she will definitely be cured.

So a few more days won't make a difference.

While He Yunze was saying this, Song Ruoan was thinking about something else entirely.

Her eyes darted around, and she tentatively began to speak: "Not to mention that Madam Xin is bedridden, isn't your brother also lying in bed now, his life hanging in the balance?"

Song Ruoan leaned her whole body against He Yunce's chest before softly saying, "I've also thought about my brother, and it's not that I don't want to get treatment."

“But my sister treated me like that before, and even made me kowtow and apologize to her. All I wanted was an apology from my sister to heal my brother, but she refused…”

“My sister doesn’t care about taking care of my brother, so I don’t want to get treatment.”

Upon hearing this, He Yunze suddenly remembered He Jingyan's matter, and his eyes instantly became dark and unfathomable.

"It's a good thing you didn't treat him. Your medical skills are so good. What would I have done if you had cured my brother?"

"A good brother is one who is lying in bed, on his deathbed."

He Yunze's tone was slightly cold, which made Song Ruoan's heart pound, but she was also extremely happy: "Husband... I understand what you mean."

He Yunze only snapped out of his daze when he heard Song Ruoan's words.

He worried that Song Ruoan would look down on his wolfish ambitions, so he coughed softly and pretended to be a brotherly and respectful brother again:

"If Grandmother brings this up, after Song Xizhi kowtows to you, you should pretend to receive treatment and delay it for a while."

"I heard in the government office today that His Majesty is troubled by the frequent uprisings in various places, and I have a good idea."

"When I attend court on the fifteenth of this month, I will be able to make a suggestion. With the help of the Prime Minister, I will surely rise to prominence. At that time, I will then expedite the process of securing the inheritance of the title."

“Once everything is in place and my position is secure, it won’t be too late for my brother to recover.”

Upon hearing this, Song Ruoan nodded, "Okay, after you kowtow, I'll pretend to treat you. Just thinking about it makes me happy."

Once He Yunce's succession to the title is finalized and his position is secure, she will make He Jingyan die quietly!

This will completely turn Song Xizhi into a widow, leaving her with no chance to turn things around!

Thinking of this, Song Ruoan's smile became even sweeter, and her small hands reached out to He Yunce's chest.

It's all thanks to this legendary doctor, Qihuang. Not only are his official affairs resolved, but He Yunze's health is also getting better and better.

He Yunce is becoming more and more like a normal man, majestic and awe-inspiring, which has allowed her to experience true joy in the world.

So, it's been a full seven days since I started taking the medicine?

She has probably fully recovered, and everything has settled down, so she no longer has to feel terrified of returning to square one.

As Song Ruoan thought about it, her hands became even more eager.

He Yunze sensed Song Ruoan's initiative, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze suddenly became deep and unfathomable.

"Madam has been so affectionate lately; it seems she loves me even more than before?"

Song Ruoan smiled dreamily, her eyes filled with He Yunce:

"My husband, I've always loved you, but lately I've loved you even more. The thought that I married a man a hundred times better than my sister makes me so happy!"

He Yunze also said tenderly, "You can manage a household, you can treat patients, you can do everything, and you are a hundred times better than your sister..."

The two embraced, their breathing gradually becoming rapid, before collapsing heavily onto the soft couch.

Upon seeing this, the servants who had been serving inside the room silently withdrew and closed the wooden door to the inner bedroom.

The two whispered sweet nothings to each other for a long time, but He Yunce was not like usual and did not make a move for a long time.

Song Ruoan leaned against the soft couch with her eyes slightly narrowed. After waiting for a while, she opened her eyes and softly asked, "Husband?"

He Yunze, however, was drenched in sweat and trembling all over. His lips quivered, and he stammered for a long time before finally managing to utter:

"I...I think...I can't take it anymore..."

Song Ruoan looked up in shock, staring at He Yunce's face.

He looked pale and was sweating profusely, while bright red blood was dripping from his nostrils and flowing down his chin.

Upon seeing this, Song Ruoan's eyes narrowed sharply, and her entire body instantly turned cold.

She was completely disoriented, and her mind went blank for a moment.

It wasn't until He Yunze's hot nosebleed dripped onto Song Ruoan's thigh, sending a shiver through her body, that she snapped back to reality.

"Husband? Husband?"

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly get a nosebleed?"

He Yunze stiffly reached out and touched the blood flowing from his nose; the intense red color left his mind blank.
