The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

According to palmistry, She Jingxi has a very long career line.

In an instant, Chen Xuan's mouth watered, but fortunately he didn't open his mouth.

She Jingxi also noticed Chen Xuan's change, and she immediately unleashed a palm strike, knocking Chen Xuan over.

"You are so brave!"

"No, Your Majesty, you misunderstand. I was merely observing your condition!" Chen Xuan said, neither humble nor arrogant.

After hearing Chen Xuan's explanation, She Jingxi's anger subsided slightly. She glared coldly at Chen Xuan and continued, "Then tell me, what did you see?"

"The Empress Dowager is not in good health and is rather weak!" Chen Xuan continued the previous topic.

"Then tell me, how should I take care of myself afterwards?"

"Well..."

"what happened again?"

"To be honest, Your Majesty's pulse is too weak. The 'suspended thread pulse diagnosis' method cannot accurately determine the specific situation, so... I still need to take your pulse!" Chen Xuan said sincerely.

"you……!"

"I know Your Majesty may have some concerns, but please believe me, I will do everything in my power to cure your illness."

Looking into Chen Xuan's sincere eyes, She Jingxi wavered for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, she finally decided to give Chen Xuan a chance.

"Alright, since you insist, I'll give you that chance. However, if you can't cure it, I won't let you off easily!" She Jingxi warned.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my utmost to help you recover!" Chen Xuan said firmly.

After saying that, Chen Xuan reached out and gently grasped She Jingxi's wrist, then began to take her pulse.

She Jingxi felt Chen Xuan grasp her wrist, and a strange feeling rose in her heart. She had never been so intimate with anyone before, and for a moment she was at a loss.

As time went by, She Jingxi felt increasingly uneasy, and she couldn't help but lower her head slightly, avoiding looking at Chen Xuan.

Although she was the Empress Dowager, she had always been alone and no man had ever approached her like this before, which made her somewhat flustered.

After initially marveling at the cool touch, Chen Xuan carefully felt Empress Dowager She's pulse and discovered that it was indeed very weak, as if it might disappear at any moment.

But he wasn't a veterinarian and didn't know what was going on. Even if a veterinarian were here, encountering a monster that had transformed into a human like this would probably leave him completely bewildered.

Since he couldn't diagnose her by taking her pulse, Chen Xuan could only use the "observation" method in traditional Chinese medicine to make a diagnosis. In addition, her previous admission that she was weak made this a bit easier to explain.

"Why are you staring at me like that?!" She Jingxi finally couldn't hold back anymore. Her face flushed slightly, and she snatched her hand away, glaring angrily at Chen Xuan, her pupils gradually turning into vertical slits.

But honestly, Chen Xuan really didn't have any other ideas this time!

“Observation is also one of my medical skills. I observe that Your Majesty's complexion is pale, which shows signs of insufficient qi and blood. Moreover, you cough frequently, so I guess your body must be extremely weak.”

Upon hearing this, She Jingxi blushed slightly. It turned out that Chen Xuan had already noticed her little flaws, and he might even have guessed her true form!

"Your Majesty, your health is indeed very poor. If you don't take care of yourself in time, there may be danger," Chen Xuan said with a frown, making sure to say something alarming.

Hearing Chen Xuan's words, She Jingxi's heart tightened.

"I... I just shed my skin, how could there be any danger?! I've shed my skin before, it's just that I was weak for a short period of time, why is he making it sound so scary?"

"Do you have any ideas?" She Jingxi asked anxiously.

"This... I'd like to say more!"

"???!"

"I command you to speak!" She Jingxi slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"Ahem, this is it..."

"If you keep dawdling, I'll punish you!"

"Well, it's like this. I need to examine Your Majesty's body to determine the treatment plan. But rest assured, among us physicians, there is no distinction between men and women..."

"enough!"

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager She felt a sudden sense of panic. She knew that to examine her body, she would need to remove the restraints binding her, but once freed, she would find it difficult to accept.

"I have no other intention than to treat the Empress Dowager," Chen Xuan said calmly.

"Alright, don't bring this up again!" She Jingxi clearly didn't want to hear any more.

"In that case, there's nothing I can do, but I can prescribe some tonics for the Empress Dowager!"

"Okay, you can go out now and wait outside!" She Jingxi waved her hand, indicating that they would talk about this later.

Chen Xuan is still having a significant impact on her mental state, and she doesn't know how to face him now.

"Alright, then I'll take my leave!" Chen Xuan cupped his hands in farewell and left the Empress Dowager's palace.

As soon as he stepped outside, Zhao Tianming immediately came to greet him.

"How is it, Brother Chen? What about the Empress Dowager's condition...?"

"Don't even mention it, she's not very cooperative with me!" Chen Xuan sighed.

"That's really..."

"Alright, you two stop dawdling. Zhao Tianming, right? It's your turn to go in!" the old eunuch urged them.

"Oh, I'll go treat the Empress Dowager right away!"

After saying that, Zhao Tianming went straight into the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

As soon as he entered, Zhao Tianming saw the stunningly beautiful woman he had been longing for.

However, her complexion seemed too rosy at this moment, quite different from when he had seen her before.

"You've arrived." She Jingxi was slightly pleased to see the person who came.

"Okay, I'll get what I need." Zhao Tianming immediately looked away, no longer looking at her, and his tone was aloof as he packed it up for her.

"Here you go, this is the Thousand-Year Frost Grass, it's for you!" She Jingxi took out a storage bag and tossed it to Zhao Tianming.

After Zhao Tianming took it, he opened it and found that there was indeed a thousand-year-old frost grass inside, along with a number of spirit stones.

"Yes, it is indeed the Thousand-Year Frost Grass. I'll accept it then!"

"By the way, do you still have any barbecue? I want to eat some more!"

"There's still some left. I'll bake a few more after I go out and bring them over to you!" Zhao Tianming also took out a storage bag and handed it to She Jingxi.

"Okay, it's a deal!" She Jingxi smiled sweetly, recalling the time when she was protected by this little man. Only a day or two had passed, but she already felt a little nostalgic.

Clearly, this is because She Jingxi accidentally began to molt outside, and after she finished, she entered a period of weakness! Then she encountered danger, and just then, our chosen one came to her rescue!

Then, I was inexplicably won over by a barbecue, leaving an indelible good impression of the Chosen One!

It's just a common trope in novels!
