"Is it because you had some reservations that you didn't tell the truth?" Shen Wan asked.

Doctor Tao said, "Since I have taken the Emperor's pulse, I will naturally tell you the truth."

"How much longer can the Emperor live?" Shen Wan asked.

"..."

How dare Princess Ling ask such a disrespectful question?

Doctor Tao quickly looked around to make sure no one was nearby before saying, "His Majesty is in excellent health, so Princess Ling doesn't need to worry so much."

Fearing that Shen Wan might say something shocking, Doctor Tao quickly went into the courtyard.

Shen Wan was left standing there, her brows furrowed.

If the emperor is in good health, why did he die so young in his previous life?

Could it be that the emperor's death in his previous life was suspicious?

Shen Wan turned around with a puzzled look in her eyes and found Xie Jingyan looking at her. However, when their eyes met, Xie Jingyan turned and left.

When she entered the palace, Shen Wan chased after Xie Jingyan all the way. Now that she was returning to the mansion, Shen Wan would not chase after him anymore. She quickly fell far behind. By the time Shen Wan entered the Moyu Pavilion, Xie Jingyan was nowhere to be seen.

Xie Jingyan went to the study, and Chen Feng jumped in through the window. Xie Jingyan asked, "What did she say to Doctor Tao?"

Chen Feng stammered, unable to open his mouth.

"Speak!" Xie Jingyan said impatiently.

Chen Feng said, "The Princess asked Doctor Tao how much longer the Emperor could live..."

Almost instantly, Xie Jingyan's brows furrowed into a tight knot.

While in the palace, he was surprised that Shen Wan had asked Doctor Tao to take the emperor's pulse. When he returned home, he asked Doctor Tao about it again. Could it be that the emperor's health was in trouble?

Xie Jingyan, still uneasy, asked, "What did Doctor Tao say?"

Chen Feng said, "Doctor Tao was frightened by the princess and only said that the emperor's health was fine and told the princess not to worry so much."

In Chen Feng's opinion, Doctor Tao is right. The Princess Consort is not worrying for no reason. The Emperor is in his prime, full of vigor and vitality. He is not bedridden and unable to get up. Asking such a question out of the blue is too unlucky.
