The emperor was so excited because, like Xiao Xuan before him, he felt as if he had been reborn.
He had never felt so comfortable in his old age.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan subtly curled his lips, then turned to the emperor and said, "Father, I rushed over because I was worried about your health, and that's when I saw this scene. Is that female imperial physician really that skilled?"
Xiao Xuan asked the question on purpose, but he was secretly delighted. As long as the emperor valued Ning Yin, he would have no objection to her becoming the Crown Princess.
"Impressive, of course it is impressive. A ruler's word is law."
"Issue my decree... uh..."
The emperor thought for a moment, still unaware of Ning Yin's name, and then turned his gaze to Eunuch Zhuang, who was kneeling on the ground.
At this moment, Eunuch Zhuang was so happy that he wept, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
"Eunuch Zhuang, please get up. You have done a good job by bringing this young female doctor today. You and the female doctor will both be rewarded. Each of you will be given five hundred taels of gold."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Zhuang cried even harder; what had happened today was truly perilous.
He had prepared himself to go to the guillotine, but he never expected the turn of events to come so suddenly.
He also received 500 taels of gold, which was more than half a year's salary for him.
However, while some were happy, others were sad; both Eunuch Zhuang and the Crown Prince were pleased.
Both Consort Chen and Imperial Physician Chen turned ashen-faced.
Consort Chen was worried that this woman would steal her favor, after all, Ning Yin was only eighteen years old.
Her otherworldly appearance was so stunning that, apart from herself, there was probably no one in the entire palace who could rival her.
Thinking about it, she wrapped her arms around the emperor's arm again and said in a coquettish voice, "Your Majesty, I was so worried. Look, my palms are all sweaty."
The emperor then remembered Consort Chen, and quickly comforted her in a gentle voice, raising his hand to pull her into his arms.
Xiao Xuan had no desire to continue watching the two of them being so affectionate, so he bowed to the emperor and took his leave.
"Now that Father is alright, I will return to attend to my official duties."
"Go, go..."
The emperor didn't want Xiao Xuan to bother him here, so he readily waved his hand.
Xiao Xuan left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, where Qingying was waiting in front of the sedan chair, holding her sword.
"How's it going? Did you send Aning back?"
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the East Palace."
"Alright, take another look and see if this mask is reliable or not?"
As Xiao Xuan spoke, he began to adjust the mask, which was a half-face mask made of pure gold.
Although you can still see the remaining half of her face, it's mostly covered up.
Ning Yin probably wouldn't recognize herself.
"No problem, not at all. If we were outside the palace, I might not even recognize Your Highness."
Qingying responded with a smile. When the two returned to the East Palace, Xiao Xuan looked at his reflection in the fish pond at the entrance.
He took several deep breaths before walking into the hall.
Xiao Xuan pushed open the door with his slender, fair fingers, and a stunningly beautiful woman came into view.
He finally brought her to his Eastern Palace, where he, as the Crown Prince, shared the same space with her.
Xiao Xuan stepped inside, his expression indifferent.
"You are Physician Ning?"
