Because the two were very close, Feng Beichuan could clearly hear the man's slightly heavy and rapid breathing.
The breathing was so unsteady that it was clearly a very unusual situation.
Then, without saying a word, Feng Beichuan picked Li Chang'an up and carried him horizontally.
"No need, I'm fine."
Li Chang'an frowned, and then she reached out and forcefully pushed the man in front of her away.
But this time, Feng Beichuan wouldn't let Li Chang'an have her way as usual. Seeing the woman's stubborn appearance, he felt both angry and heartbroken. He then said seriously again, "Chang'an, you're already in this state, so don't force yourself to keep going."
After saying this, Feng Beichuan reached out again to pick up Li Chang'an.
This time, however, Li Chang'an simply raised his hand and flung him away.
"I already said I don't need it. Do you think I don't know my own body?"
This time, Li Chang'an's tone was rather unpleasant, and it was clear that she was genuinely angry.
Seeing this, Feng Beichuan was about to retort, but then he thought it over and felt that it was inappropriate to be so impulsive. So he continued to patiently persuade him, "Whether you have it or not, it's always good to have the imperial physician examine you beforehand. Chang'an, just listen to me this time!"
"The Regent is right, Chang'an, why don't you go to the side hall and have the imperial physician take your pulse?"
Just then, Emperor Xingchang spoke up, unhurriedly.
Although he spoke up to persuade Li Chang'an because he didn't want to see the two of them arguing in the main hall over such a trivial matter, this action was surprisingly approved by Feng Beichuan.
Feng Beichuan felt that this old fox had finally said something truly useful.
But to everyone's surprise, after hearing Emperor Xingchang's voice, Li Chang'an suddenly seemed to gain strength. She immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your subject begs Your Majesty to rescind your decree."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt even more confused.
Emperor Xingchang was also baffled and couldn't figure out what order Li Chang'an was asking him to retract.
Seeing that Emperor Xingchang made no comment, Li Chang'an felt increasingly anxious and added, "Father, your idea of emphasizing civil affairs over military matters is absolutely unacceptable. Governing a country requires checks and balances. Only when the two are of equal strength can they restrain each other. If the focus shifts, problems will inevitably arise. I urge Father, for the sake of the entire Sheng Nan Kingdom and the millions of ordinary people, to think carefully before acting!"
After speaking so much in one breath, Li Chang'an suddenly felt that her energy had recovered a bit, so she reached out and casually wiped away the stray hairs on her forehead, along with the fine sweat.
It was only then that Emperor Xingchang realized what Li Chang'an was about to do.
The focus of the matter has once again shifted back to the topic at the beginning.
Apart from Feng Beichuan, no one else present cared about Li Chang'an's situation.
Even Li Chang'an himself didn't care about it.
"Chang'an, now is not the time to talk about this, you should go first..."
"Shut up!"
Feng Beichuan was very unhappy, so he stepped forward and, while talking, reached out and grabbed Li Chang'an's arm, wanting to drag her up to find the imperial physician.
As a result, this action was interrupted coldly by Li Chang'an before it even began.
"Go back first, don't worry about me!"
Li Chang'an frowned, glanced at Feng Beichuan, and then looked away.
The anger in my heart was ignited in an instant.
Feng Beichuan felt like this woman was driving him crazy.
It's none of his business?
But how could he just let himself ignore it?
She's someone I've always cherished and treasured. As long as she's alright, what else matters?
Feng Beichuan felt that this time, no matter what he said, he would not follow Li Chang'an's lead as usual.
But before he could make a move, Bai Yuanshan, who had been silently watching the show, suddenly spoke up unhurriedly: "Your Highness is truly a person of both literary and military talent. Not only can she win battles, but she can also teach the Emperor how to govern the country well. Doesn't such a skill make us, her subjects, feel ashamed?"
After speaking, Bai Yuanshan gave Li Chang'an a meaningful glance.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other ministers all changed.
Li Chang'an's expression immediately turned cold.
This time, even a fool could understand the meaning behind the old fox's words.
Bai Yuanshan's words were essentially implying that Li Chang'an was overstepping his bounds.
"The Prime Minister truly has self-awareness."
Before Li Chang'an could respond, Feng Beichuan bluntly retorted to his sarcastic remarks.
The man was already angry, and now that Bai Yuanshan had spoken, he had undoubtedly run straight into Feng Beichuan's pent-up frustration.
"Since even the Prime Minister himself feels useless, why not retire early and go back to his hometown to enjoy a peaceful and comfortable life!"
After making that retort, Feng Beichuan seemed to feel that it wasn't enough to vent his anger, so he immediately followed up with another retort.
"If others share the same thoughts as Prime Minister Bai, they can also consider going back to live out their old age in peace."
Then, as he spoke, Feng Beichuan shifted his gaze, with a half-smile, to the group of civil officials standing behind Bai Yuanshan.
It must be said that the strong seem to have an innate sense of oppression over the weak.
Although Feng Beichuan's words were indeed excessive, and he offended all the ministers in the court with his own words, no one dared to refute him.
Although most of them were furious after hearing Feng Beichuan's arrogant words, after weighing the situation, they realized that they simply did not have the ability to confront him head-on.
Feng Beichuan seemed to have anticipated this outcome, so he stepped forward and stood with Li Chang'an, clearly showing his protectiveness.
Looking at the man's chauvinistic attitude, Li Chang'an felt both helpless and amused, and even the unpleasant feelings from before disappeared.
However, she is still very good at understanding the situation.
Now is not the time to think about these things.
More important matters remained unresolved, and Li Chang'an felt that even if she had only a breath left, she would still seek justice for the military generals.
So Li Chang'an followed closely behind Feng Beichuan and said, "Father, what I just said was all from an objective point of view, and I had absolutely no intention of offending you."
