This female leader is a little bit stronger

"Your Majesty, you are finally awake, Your Majesty~"

The imperial concubine was wearing a gorgeous gown, the hem of which was embroidered with double-petaled pear blossoms, with wide sleeves trailing on the ground. Her hair was adorned with pendants like a cluster of flowers. She was dressed delicately and beautifully. Her slender white fingers grasped the hand of the Human Emperor, and she lay on the bed crying with tears in her eyes.

There were many maids serving by the bed, and they all wiped their tears.

Beside the imperial concubine stood an elderly man in a black robe. He had a long beard and a Taoist bun. His hairpins were made of some herbal root, and his belt and sandals were also woven from dried herbs. His movements carried the scent of herbs, and his face bore the inscrutable air of a hermit.

Beside this old man in black robe stood a lazy woman with one hand on his shoulder. She was dressed boldly and revealingly, with extremely charming facial features and figure, and she was not wearing shoes!

The Human Emperor had just woken up and was extremely weak, but he couldn't help but keep his eyes on this woman.

The woman glanced at him with a smile on her red lips, her eyes as charming as silk.

Even the imperial concubine glanced at her several times while wiping her tears with a handkerchief, with surprise and jealousy!

This was the scene Luo Yuzhu saw when he brought the ministers in.

Many pairs of eyes first swept over the bright yellow on the bed, then passed over the black-robed ghost doctor, and finally stopped on the enchanting smoky purple figure, finding it difficult to look away.

Luo Yuzhu frowned, took a few steps forward, replaced the imperial concubine and came to the bedside. The other ministers lined up quietly behind her, each with their own thoughts.

The Human Emperor had only been poisoned for two months, but he had become so thin that he was unrecognizable. His mature face, which looked very similar to Luo Yuzhu, was now showing wrinkles of age. His once black hair had turned white, which showed how powerful the poison was, which could even erode his lifespan!

Seeing Luo Yuzhu coming, tears welled up in his eyes and he raised his hand tremblingly.

Luo Yuzhu had already accepted his identity and knew that this emperor was his blood relative. His Majesty's defense of him during the attack had deeply moved him. Upon seeing this, he immediately took the Emperor's hand. He felt uneasy and mumbled, unsure what to say. He could only affectionately call out, "Your Majesty."

After the Human Emperor woke up, he learned from the Imperial Concubine that Luo Yuzhu had been governing on his behalf and maintaining the situation these days. He knew how much pressure Luo Yuzhu was under, and said with great emotion, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Wang..."

Luo Yuzhu shook her head. "It's not that hard. I just did what I should do, and your Majesty's ministers helped me."

The Human Emperor's gaze swept over his ministers again.

Someone caught the Emperor's eye and immediately flattered him, "Your Majesty, you may not know this. The Crown Prince is so virtuous and capable that he has turned our army's situation around. Before Your Majesty woke up, our army had just defeated the demons in battle and even pushed them fifty miles away from the dragon vein!"

"Yes, if it weren't for Prince Shengping, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to survive until now!"

"Even the reinforcements from the three regions are willing to obey the orders of the Crown Prince alone!"

"The prince is young but steady, and his strategies are as good as a god. The victory is all thanks to the prince!"

"..."

The ministers spoke one after another, spouting a lot of flattery.

The expressions of the few people who were standing close to Wang Zhi changed, and they thought something was wrong.

Just as Luo Yuzhu sensed something unusual, she suddenly met the Emperor's gaze. It seemed ordinary, yet there was a hint of depth in it, a look Luo Yuzhu couldn't read. Startled, she asked, "Your Majesty?"

The Emperor's expression quickly returned to normal, and he pulled his hand away, revealing only a hint of emotion. "It was right to leave the Crown Prince position to you. I was right about Sheng Ping."

"..." Luo Yuzhu didn't understand why but felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She clenched her empty fists and looked away at the old man in black robes. "Are you the Ghost Doctor who was once as famous as the former Bai Yaowang?"

The black-robed ghost doctor nodded slightly, "Indeed, I happened to be gathering herbs in the mountains near the dragon vein when I ran into the Imperial Concubine's men. That's when I learned that the Human Emperor had been poisoned."

The Imperial Concubine nodded softly and laid back down beside the Emperor's bed. "Yes, fortunately, my people found the old ghost doctor, otherwise His Majesty would not know when he would wake up."

The Emperor gently stroked the Imperial Concubine's head, "I will never forget your contribution."

Luo Yuzhu felt strangely uneasy. The Ghost Doctor was a mysterious figure, his existence a mere legend in the minds of many. No one had ever seen the Ghost Doctor's true face, and this old man in a black robe, calling himself the Ghost Doctor, happened to be gathering herbs near a dragon vein. How could such a coincidence be possible?

He glanced at the charming woman next to him again, and was instantly noticed by the woman, who gave him a seductive look.

Luo Yuzhu: ...

The feeling of unease grew stronger.

"Who is the lady next to you?"

The black-robed ghost doctor smiled sinisterly: "My wife!"

The woman smiled and twisted the ghost doctor's fingers quietly. The others were disappointed because of the word "bitch".

The Human Emperor also had complicated feelings.

Such a beautiful woman is actually married!

And she married such an old man!

So distressing!!

Luo Yuzhu asked again: "Has your Majesty been cured of the poison?"

The ghost doctor replied, "The poison has been removed, but the body still needs to be recuperated with tonics for a while."

"Can His Majesty's body recover to its original state?" Luo Yuzhu asked with concern. Others were also concerned about the health of the Human Emperor and looked at the Ghost Doctor expectantly.

The black-robed ghost doctor's eyes were grim. "Your Majesty, the poison you were poisoned with is called 'Life Loss'. It was once one of the three most deadly poisons in Medicine King Valley. Those poisoned by this poison immediately fall into a coma, and each day of sleep is equivalent to a year of life lost. Even if the poison is cured, the lost life span is irreversible, and even longevity pills cannot replenish it."

One day of sleep will cause one year of life to disappear. It has been more than three months since the Human Emperor was poisoned. Doesn’t that mean that nearly a hundred years of his life has been lost for nothing!

No wonder he looks so old!

Everyone was shocked by this!

The Human Emperor's face turned pale in an instant.

"Your Majesty——~" The imperial concubine wailed tenderly and gently threw herself into the arms of the Human Emperor, crying bitterly.

When Luo Yuzhu heard the words "Medicine King Valley", her expression changed, becoming heavy and complicated.

On the day when the imperial palace was attacked by the demons, Bai Jingze's angry screams seemed to echo in his ears: "...I just want revenge, what have I done wrong!..."

The poison came from Yaowang Valley, so was it him who did it?

No matter what, the man finally jumped into the Dragon Burial Abyss as a way of atonement.

But now Sister Ye has come out of the Dragon Burial Abyss, so what about Bai Jingze?

Didn't see him.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through her mind as Luo Yuzhu looked directly at the Ghost Doctor. "The White Medicine King's poison was once considered the best in the Four Sacred Lands. This senior is truly amazing. He can even easily cure the Medicine King's poison!"

Facing the young man's suspicious eyes, the black-robed ghost doctor smiled, "There's a reason why people put me on par with the White Medicine King. This is just Bai Xiaoer's poison. I can easily cure it with a flick of my hand!"

Can it be solved by flipping your hand?

How arrogant and exaggerated!

Luo Yuzhu wanted to say something, but was stopped by the Human Emperor. "Mr. Ghost Doctor did cure the poison in me. There is nothing to doubt about his identity. Yuzhu, please don't be rude to him."
