Fang Qingyue frowned slightly, feeling a little disgusted, but she knew that if she argued with the other party at this time, she would be laughed at.
She was about to refuse again when she suddenly felt a warm gaze falling on her.
Looking up, she saw Shen Yuhan looking at her with a smile, a hint of gentleness in his eyes.
Shen Yuhan then spoke, his tone relaxed and slightly teasing: "Doctor Fang works hard every day, so don't push yourself."
"Today is a celebration party, everyone just needs to enjoy themselves, why force it?"
Although Shen Yuhan's voice was not loud, it revealed an irresistible majesty. The smile on the noble lady's face suddenly froze. She did not dare to continue to force Fang Qingyue and had to retreat to her seat in embarrassment.
At this time, the emperor's voice came from above, with a certain degree of majesty but also a kind of intimacy: "Today's dance performance ends here."
"Doctor Fang has worked hard for the people of the capital and deserves more rest. I cannot bear to see her overworked. Next, let's talk business."
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were once again focused on the emperor.
The emperor smiled slightly, then looked at Shen Yuhan and Jian Xianzhi, his tone revealing some approval: "Today's banquet is not only to entertain everyone, but also to commend the two beloved ministers, Shen Yuhan and Jian Xianzhi."
"You two have made outstanding contributions in eliminating the human trafficking gangs in the capital, and I am deeply pleased."
Jian Xianzhi bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Your Majesty is so kind to me. I have only done my duty and dare not take credit for it."
The emperor laughed heartily, his tone somewhat cordial: "My two beloved ministers, there is no need to be modest. I have already remembered your achievements today."
"If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely reward you handsomely. Today, everyone enjoy yourself, don't be restrained."
The palace banquet gradually came to an end amid laughter and joy. The nobles stood up one after another and said goodbye to the emperor.
Shen Yuhan watched everyone leave, but he never let his guard down. Seeing the banquet was over, the emperor gently called Shen Yuhan, "Yuhan, I have something to say to you alone."
Shen Yuhan was slightly startled, then immediately agreed respectfully: "I obey your order."
He turned to look at Fang Qingyue, his eyes filled with worry. "Qingyue, His Majesty has summoned me, and I'm afraid I can't leave for the time being. Please return to the clinic first. I'll come back to you after I finish dealing with the affairs in the palace."
Fang Qingyue nodded gently and responded gently, "Don't worry, sir. Qingyue can go back by herself. Please remember to take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."
Although she felt a little uneasy, she smiled calmly, indicating that she could handle it.
Shen Yuhan looked at her determined expression, feeling slightly relieved, and whispered, "Okay, be careful and go back to the clinic to rest early."
After Fang Qingyue agreed repeatedly, she slowly walked out of the Qianqing Palace.
She walked alone through the corridors of the palace, with lights flickering all around her, and her footsteps were particularly clear in the quiet night.
Fang Qingyue was on high alert all the way, looking around from time to time, paying attention to the movements in the palace.
Just as she was about to reach the palace gate, she suddenly felt as if someone was following her.
She was startled and slowed down her pace slightly, looking sideways calmly.
A familiar figure appeared in her sight, it was Shen Qiu Nian.
There were complex emotions flashing in Shen Qiunian's eyes, and a playful smile on his face.
He quickly stepped forward, blocking Fang Qingyue's way, and said in a low, somewhat cold voice: "Doctor Fang, what a coincidence! It's so late, and you haven't gone home yet?"
Fang Qingyue was secretly panicking, but she remained calm on the surface and smiled gently, "Mr. Chen, it is indeed a coincidence. But weren't you with Miss Song just now? Why did you come here alone?"
Shen Qiu Nian sneered, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes: "Song Xiaoya has her own things to deal with. I didn't expect that Doctor Fang would dare to wander around this palace alone. Isn't he afraid of getting lost?"
Fang Qingyue looked at Chen Qiu Nian in front of her, and countermeasures quickly turned in her mind.
The Chen Qiu Nian in front of her was already full of hostility towards her. If she showed even the slightest fear at this moment, it would only make him take advantage of her.
So, she straightened her back, looked directly at Shen Qiu Nian with a firm gaze, and said in a calm but authoritative tone: “Mr. Shen, since you also know that I am Doctor Fang, you should understand my current identity.”
"Even if you don't respect me, I am a doctor who has saved countless lives in the capital, and I am praised by the emperor himself."
"If you disrespect me here and the Emperor hears about it, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape either."
When Shen Qiunian heard this, his expression changed slightly, and a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.
He was a proud and arrogant person, and had been loved by the Shen family since he was a child, but at this moment, facing Fang Qingyue's decisiveness, he was somewhat at a loss as to how to deal with it.
What Fang Qingyue said was true. Now that she was valued by the emperor, if she was really disrespectful to her, she would probably get into big trouble.
But the reluctance in Shen Qiu Nian's heart made him unwilling to give in easily. He smiled coldly and threatened in a low voice: "Fang Qingyue, do you think that you can show off in front of me just because you saved a few people?"
"Don't forget, you're just a doctor, don't take yourself too seriously!"
Fang Qingyue saw his tough tone and knew that he was unwilling to give in, but she remained unmoved. Instead, she responded calmly: "Master Chen, there is no need to force me like this. If I really made any mistakes, you can report it to the emperor or Master Chen."
"But if you don't have any evidence, such threats will only put you in trouble."
After hearing Fang Qingyue's words, his face suddenly changed and a flame of anger burned in his eyes.
He has always been proud and arrogant, so how could he have been accused in such a sharp way?
