It seemed like he kicked a pile of brocade quilts. Xuan Ling was certain that the sound was within half an inch, so he raised his long legs and prepared to kick hard.

Eunuch Fu knelt down and hugged his legs.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

Aunt Mingyue quickly helped Sheng Xiyan up and pretended to be calm.

"Your Majesty, it is this servant who is tidying up."

Xuan Ling retracted his foot and said coldly:

"A mere mixed-up female doctor, are you treating her like a deity? You've put so many mattresses on top of the palace carpet, are you afraid she'll freeze to death?"

Eunuch Fu curled his lips secretly and said, "Of course I have caught your little darling cold. If you knew about this, wouldn't you chop off my head?"

Sheng Xiyan leaned against the wall, not daring to breathe.

The dragon became so violent probably because he couldn't see and felt uneasy.

It is really hard to accept that he went from being an omnipotent Emperor Xuanwu to being a blind man who needed someone to guide him when walking.

Sheng Xiyan was not caught. After laughing secretly, she turned away with tears in her eyes. She bit her lip to wipe away the tears.

You deserve it. Who told you to bully me?

Why don’t you ask your Mi’er to be your eyes now?

I get it. I don’t want my most embarrassing side to be seen by my beloved woman.

The emperor became stubborn and refused to be helped. He wanted to walk on his own and bumped into the golden sandalwood frame.

"Your Majesty, please be careful."

Xuan Ling groaned slightly.

Pushing Eunuch Fu away, he walked forward firmly.

He walks this stretch of road every day, even if he can't see clearly.

I am the Son of Heaven, not a blind man!

What will the people do if their eyes cannot be cured?

The locust plague and the epidemic are two major disasters that are still at a stalemate and have not been resolved.

Xuan Ling wanted to find a place to have a good cry.

But after crying, who can I hand over the burden on my shoulders?

A lot of loyal ministers have been trained in the court. When he is in a good mood, the country is thriving. But if something happens to him, the country will probably become a mess.

He has held all the power in the past ten years and thought that this was the best way to be a king.

Now I think that being suspicious and authoritarian has only burdened me and has done more harm than good.

After I recover from my illness this time, I need to delegate appropriate power to the people below me.

"Go and call Grand Tutor Zhang, the left and right prime ministers, and the Minister of War."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Sheng Xiyan followed behind him and saw him slowly walk to the throne. He did not allow anyone to touch his hand, but reached out and touched it while sitting down.

She tiptoed over to see what he wanted and carefully pushed it in front of him.

Xuan Ling opened the long memorial, heard the sound but could not see it, and threw it down heavily.

I opened another one and threw it away...

Many times in a row, he leaned back on the dragon throne and sighed in frustration.

Sheng Xiyan wanted to pat his head from behind, but she knew that he still resisted the identity of a female doctor, so she didn't dare to get close to him easily, otherwise she would be driven away.

Wait until Judge Wu comes with the medicine.

"Your Majesty, this is the new decoction that the female physician and I discussed last night. It will be of greater help to your condition."

Xuan Ling closed his eyes and asked:

"Lord Wu, tell me the truth, how good are her medical skills? I don't keep fools around."

"Your Majesty, the female doctor's medical skills are superb. I think she can stay."

The emperor remained silent for a long time, then suddenly asked:

"She's mute. How did you communicate? And how did you conclude that she has superb medical skills?"

Sheng Xiyan took a deep breath. Eunuch Fu and Court Judge Wu tried to remain calm.

"Your Majesty, I can understand the female doctor's sign language a little bit, and we mostly communicate through writing."

Xuan Ling nodded slightly. If he wanted to heal his eyes quickly, he might as well leave someone behind first.

"Where's the female doctor?"

"Your Majesty, the female doctor is here with the medicine."

Sheng Xiyan stepped forward and placed Xuan Ling's hand on the white jade cup.

Xuan Ling’s first reaction was, “Dirty thing, don’t touch me.”

Forget it, since you are blind, don't be so pretentious.

Sheng Xiyan, what are you doing? Are you secretly dating Qi Yan?

Don't let me know, or I won't forgive you!

After drinking the medicine in one breath, Xuan Ling took out an apricot silk handkerchief from the lining of his robe and wiped the corners of his lips elegantly.

Sheng Xiyan recognized it at a glance. "Hey, isn't this the silk handkerchief I lost?" It turned out to be in his hand.

"No news from the Dark Eagle Camp?"

Eunuch Fu glanced at Sheng Xiyan, lowered his eyebrows and said, "No."

The palace maid outside the palace reported: "Your Majesty, several gentlemen have arrived."

"Help me go behind the screen."

Xuan Ling stood up. Sheng Xiyan wanted to help him, but he pushed her away. Eunuch Fu hurried forward to support him.

Behind the jade screen with the image of a vast landscape, Xuan Ling leaned on the Arhat soft chair.

"I'll leave the affairs of the court to you for the next few days, especially the plague and locust plague. You can't relax for a moment. If there are any issues that you can't decide, report to me.

In addition, the military exercise has been postponed to next month."

The four gentlemen knelt and said, "Your Majesty, I obey your command."

The hall was empty and it was time for breakfast.

In order to keep the illness secret, the palace maids in the imperial kitchen left after serving the dishes.

Eunuch Fu helped Xuan Ling sit down.

Sheng Xiyan quietly sat down at the end far away from him.

Wow, I finally get to eat the royal meal. I’ll quickly feed the three babies!

During this half month in the temple, I mostly ate vegetarian food, and occasionally ate some fish and game, which was too torturous.

Xuan Ling just picked up the jade pendant, pricked up his ears, and asked in surprise:

“Who’s chewing?”

Sheng Xiyan quickly covered her mouth.

Eunuch Fu evaded the question, "No, no one, Your Majesty, please try the Astragalus Pigeon Soup I made today."

Xuan Ling narrowed her eyes slightly. Someone must be cheating. There were only Eunuch Fu and Mingyue serving in the palace. These two would never dare to do it even if they were beaten to death. So the remaining one must be the female doctor?

"Where's the doctor?"

"She, she went to get the medicine."
