He clenched his teeth and, before the Empress Dowager and the Emperor spoke, he struggled to squeeze out the word "OK" from between his teeth.

Sheng Junwei's smile became brighter and brighter, like the warmest sunshine in spring. She whispered in admiration: "Your Majesty is so magnanimous."

King Jingxuan felt mixed emotions; he could hardly accept such praise.

Recalling that in order to avoid direct connection, he had spent a large amount of money to hire a martial arts master to carry out the assassination mission, which was already a considerable expense. Now facing Sheng Junwei's sky-high demands, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and once again deeply experienced the bitter taste of trying to gain a small advantage and suffering a great loss.

The emperor nodded slightly and exchanged a deep look with the empress dowager beside him, which contained both trust and hidden worry.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, as if tacitly agreeing to something.

The emperor pondered for a moment, and said earnestly: "Doctor Sheng, Prince Jingxuan is not only my brother, but also an important link in the royal bloodline. You must... pay more attention to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

The words between the lines reveal the emperor's complex emotions about past events.

After the incident at the palace banquet, the Emperor personally investigated the causes and consequences of Prince Jingxuan's loss of control.

The emperor's anger almost reached its peak when he learned that his brother, who had always been idle, had abused his power to bring a woman who was constantly in dispute with others into the palace banquet, and used extremely despicable means to stand up for her in public.

If the medicine that night could really achieve a certain purpose, perhaps it could be said that the younger brother did something useful, but the reality was that the younger brother accidentally ingested the medicine, bringing shame to the royal family.

After thoroughly sorting out all of this, the emperor had a moment of wanting to expel this useless brother from the royal family.

However, the blood ties that are thicker than water made him choose to be tolerant in the end, choosing to turn a blind eye for once.

The emperor particularly emphasized these points at this moment to remind Sheng Junwei calmly that personal grudges could be resolved privately and he would not interfere, but when it came to matters involving the royal dignity and life and death, there must be no mistakes.

Sheng Junwei nodded tacitly, knowing in her heart that with the blessing of the identities of the emperor's brother and the empress dowager's mother, even if someone acted eccentrically like Prince Jingxuan, there would always be enough backers to cover him.

In life, sometimes the background into which one is born can indeed be the key to determining the direction of one's destiny.

As the door slowly closed, the thick wooden boards blocked out everything from the outside world, leaving only Sheng Junwei and the pale-faced King Jingxuan staring at each other in the room.

This sudden silence made King Jingxuan feel unprecedented tension and uneasiness: "You...what do you want to do?"

This was not out of pure fear, but because he was unable to protect himself at the moment. In addition, the person in front of him had been framed by him many times. If the other party had malicious intentions, he would be isolated and helpless with no one to turn to for help.

Even if the other party will pay a heavy price or even his life for this, it all loses its meaning to him at this moment.

An unprecedented desire to survive suddenly surged in his heart, and he suddenly realized that fighting to death with the people he hated was far less important than living in peace.

Sheng Junwei observed the ever-changing expressions on King Jingxuan's face with great interest. "I thought King Jingxuan was a fearless hero, but it turns out he also knows the word fear."

"How dare you!" King Jingxuan was shocked and angry when he heard this, with shame and anger intertwined. "Sheng Junwei, do you know who you are talking to?"

Sheng Junwei smiled lightly, with a hint of amusement in her voice: "Of course I know, I am talking to the honorable Prince Jingxuan. If you are dissatisfied with this...why don't you come down and teach me a lesson in person?"

King Jingxuan looked bewildered, obviously not expecting such a response from the other party.

"Sheng Junwei, how dare you insult me ​​like this! After I recover..."

Sheng Junwei's eyes were full of mockery, and she interrupted him: "After recovery, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

Faced with such questioning, King Jingxuan remained silent, feeling mixed emotions.

It is extremely foolish to argue when there is a huge disparity in power.

He tried hard to suppress his anger, knowing deep down that he should bow his head and show weakness, but those humble words were like a thorn in his throat, difficult to utter.

In his eyes, the only person in the world who was worthy of his lowering his posture and patiently coaxing was the girl Yue'er.

In the end, King Jingxuan closed his eyes deeply and chose to remain silent.

Since this woman has made a promise to her brother and mother, if she breaks her promise, the royal family will have the authority to clean up the mess for him.

Sheng Junwei found a chair and sat down leisurely, slowly savoring the carefully prepared tea on the table.

In the palace, whether it is utensils or tea, they are indeed rare delicacies in the world, and every detail reveals the luxury and sophistication of the royal family.

Although this tea is not a rare variety that is hard to find in the world, it has an unforgettable charm. Its long aftertaste makes people intoxicated.

King Jingxuan was waiting for Sheng Junwei, who was said to have the ability to bring people back to life, to come and perform her medical skills, but he did not expect that what he heard was the sound of sipping tea and chewing cakes.

Doubts suddenly arose in his heart, and he quietly lifted the eyelashes that were covering his eyes. Just one glance made him furious.

What a bold woman! She actually enjoyed the tea and snacks he had carefully prepared while he was suffering from illness!

This is his bedroom, and her behavior is tantamount to acting recklessly in his territory.

Did she treat this place as her own private paradise?

What was her real purpose for this trip? Was it just to find a relaxing place to enjoy herself?

"Can you cure it or not? If not, then don't get in the way here!" King Jingxuan's voice was filled with anger and impatience.

Sheng Junwei raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, with a nonchalant look on her face: "Why does Your Majesty have to use this provocation method?"

After saying that, she continued to savor the delicacy in her hand as if no one was around. King Jingxuan couldn't find the right words to refute her for a moment.

This bedroom has a spacious space and is decorated with extreme luxury. Every item is carefully selected and of excellent quality.

In order to make this place a secluded and peaceful place, King Jingxuan specially installed highly effective sound-proofing materials. In addition, he was now seriously injured. Although he could still speak, he no longer had the strength to shout for help.

If it had not been for this arrangement, he should have called the Emperor and the Empress Dowager long ago and asked them to come and see for themselves the true face of this "miracle doctor" whom they admired so much!

As time passed silently, the two of them sat in silence in the room. Four hours had passed before they knew it. The frustration and loss in King Jingxuan's heart surged like a tide, making it almost unbearable for him.

He was puzzled by his brother and mother's trust in this woman. Why had no one come to check on him yet?
