Although his pulse suggests he doesn't have much time left, as long as his health doesn't deteriorate, his lifespan won't be much different from that of an average person.
"Deceiving the emperor is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family, so I need a reason to become good, but I lack someone who can cure me."
He Ruo's lips twitched. He knew that deceiving the emperor was a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family, yet he still allowed her to deceive the empress. "Since the Phoenix Lord knows it is a crime of deceiving the emperor, why did you drag me into it?"
Ci Xingxuan tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair: "After all, only the Divine Physician can cure my illness. I think the Divine Physician knows very well whether it is better for me, the Divine Physician and the Divine Physician's sister to die now, or for the Divine Physician to cure my illness and for everyone to benefit."
He Ruo's expression turned cold for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure: "You actually knew all that."
It seems she underestimated this Phoenix Lord. He appears so innocent and harmless, but he is actually a shrewd strategist who can obtain the Half-Decay Pill. He can't possibly be a kind person.
Ci Xingxuan simply smiled and remained silent, completely unconcerned about the dangerous aura that had just emanated from her.
Sure enough, after a moment He Ruo spoke again: "Within a month, I will definitely be able to cure the Phoenix Lord's body."
"very good."
After he finished speaking, he let the person in.
Wan Ge walked worriedly to Ci Xingxuan's side, then looked at He Ruo in front of her: "Divine Doctor, how is Feng Jun?"
"Although Fengjun was born weak and sickly, my master had some knowledge of weakness before. Although Fengjun's pulse is much weaker, I happen to have an excellent medicine to treat weakness. I am sure that I can restore Fengjun's health within a month."
"Really?" Wan Ge's eyes showed a hint of surprise, but also some doubt.
She had taken his pulse before, and his symptoms didn't seem like they could be cured so quickly. Could it be due to the game's setting? Because she has the aura of a divine healer, saying she can cure someone and then actually doing so?
"Your subject dares not lie." He Ruo said earnestly, but inwardly he was filled with remorse.
"Very well, if the divine physician can truly cure Feng Jun's health, I will reward him handsomely."
He Ruo bowed and said, "Now, I will go and prepare the medicine for the Phoenix Lord."
"Alright, Steward Mu, send someone to take the divine physician down to prepare the medicine."
"Yes." Steward Mu immediately had someone take He Ruo away.
Wan Ge gently touched Ci Xingxuan's cheek with her fingertips: "Ah Xuan, listen, the divine doctor says your body will recover soon."
Ci Xingxuan nodded obediently: "And thank you, Your Majesty, for bringing the divine physician."
Wan Ge stroked his hair again: "Ah Xuan is my husband, so naturally I will protect you."
Ci Xingxuan leaned against him obediently, but a man in black appeared in front of them, quickly walked to Wan Ge's side, and whispered something in his ear.
Wan Ge released the person in her arms: "Ah Xuan, I still have things to do. After I'm done with this, and once you're better, I'll take you out of the city for a spring outing."
It will probably take another two or three months for everything to calm down.
“Okay.” Ci Xingxuan nodded obediently, then bowed respectfully to see him off.
Wan Ge left with Steward Mu, but Ci Xingxuan frowned deeply. He hadn't heard anything despite being so close. It was clear that the man possessed profound inner strength.
He is His Majesty's man, so it's normal for him to have profound inner strength, but! What exactly is this matter?
Why do I feel uneasy?
