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

"You, you stay away!" Zhu Zhu panicked and involuntarily backed away, but there was a wall behind her and she had nowhere to retreat.

Chen Xuan approached with a smile, his eyes fixed on Zhu Zhu, as if he could see right through her.

Zhu Zhu felt a strong masculine aura rushing towards her, her heart pounded, and she was so nervous that she couldn't breathe.

"Chen Xuan, don't do anything rash!" Zhu Zhu said nervously, but her voice trembled slightly.

Chen Xuan looked at her, a wicked smile on his face. He leaned close to Zhu Zhu's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry, I won't do anything reckless."

"Chen Xuan, if you want me to pay a price, then name your price. Whatever good stuff you want, I can find it for you!"

"Alright, since Your Majesty the Empress is so agreeable, then I won't stand on ceremony either." Chen Xuan smiled and then held up two fingers.

"First, I want you to swear an oath to the heavens that you cannot reveal my identity and strength to anyone. As for my medical skills, you can simply claim that I have very high medical skills!"

"Okay, I promise you!" Zhu Zhu immediately made a vow to Heaven.

"As for the second point... it's that I need to charge some interest! After all, I'm here specifically to treat you, and you're the one causing me huge losses!"

What do you need?

Chen Xuan looked at her, a wicked smile playing on his lips. He reached out a hand and gently stroked Zhu Zhu's cheek, then whispered in her ear, "Little cat girl, what do you say?"

Zhu Zhu's body stiffened instantly, her heart raced, her breathing became rapid, and her cheeks turned bright red.

She wanted to retreat, but there was a wall behind her, and she had no way to go back.

"Chen Xuan, don't do anything reckless! I am the Empress. If you dare to do anything to me, you will be punished!" Zhu Zhu threatened.

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty the Empress? Of course I know, but I have always been a fearless person."

After saying that, Chen Xuan lowered his head.

Zhu Zhu's body stiffened instantly, her mind went blank, and her heart was filled with anger and shame, but she was powerless to do anything about it.

"You, you dare to treat me like this, I will make you pay the price!" Zhu Zhu said angrily.

"Little cat girl, stop threatening me, it's useless," Chen Xuan said calmly.

Zhu Zhu's body trembled even more violently, and her heart pounded incessantly.

Chen Xuan smiled, lowered his head again, and savored the tea.

……

Not long after, while Zhu Zhu was a little out of it, she felt Chen Xuan's hand suddenly reach towards her waist.

With a gentle tug, Chen Xuan untied the belt around her waist.

Zhu Zhu turned pale with fright, thinking that Chen Xuan was about to do something terrible to her.

However, Chen Xuan did not continue. He loosened his grip and threw the belt on the ground.

He has limited time and can't do much more, since once he starts cultivating, it takes at least half a day.

When his trial period expires, I estimate that he and Zhu Zhu will have to switch places.

"This is a warning. I hope you remember it. Don't try to test my limits again, little catgirl," Chen Xuan said casually. Then he pinched Zhu Zhu's cheek and released her completely.

Zhu Zhu was stunned; she hadn't expected Chen Xuan to do this. However, she breathed a sigh of relief, knowing at least that Chen Xuan didn't really intend to do anything to her.

But at the same time, she felt a strange sensation in her heart.

"Now we can be considered half allies. Tell me, what exactly is your purpose in sending me here? I know better than you whether you're crazy or not!"

Chen Xuan sat relaxed on Zhu Zhu's phoenix bed.

"I... I'm fine, I'm just feeling a little unwell. You're overthinking it." Zhu Zhu bent down to pick up the belt from the ground and re-fastened it.

"Are you sure? If it's really nothing serious, I'll take my leave!"

"Go! You should leave now!" At this moment, Zhu Zhu had no other thoughts; she just wanted to be alone.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan shrugged indifferently and left.

"By the way, watch your temper! If you get too hot-tempered, I'll have to treat you, hahaha!"

Watching Chen Xuan walk away, Zhu Zhu slowly got up and huddled alone in the corner of the phoenix bed, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

……

On the Empress Dowager She's side.

"Imperial Physician Chen, what brings the new Empress to your court?" Empress Dowager She asked, looking at Chen Xuan on the table.

Shen Xirou remained silent, poured tea for the two of them, and then stood respectfully behind She Jingxi.

"It's nothing, she just claimed she hasn't been feeling well lately and asked me to treat her!"

"Oh? Does the new empress suffer from any illness?"

"It's nothing serious, it's just that I've been in a bad mood lately, and the anger has affected my lips, making them swollen."

"Is something this outrageous? Isn't she happy now that she's become empress?"

"This is absolutely true, I can guarantee it with my life!" Chen Xuan patted his chest in assurance.

"As for why she was unhappy after becoming empress, I have no idea."

"Could it be that there's some kind of conflict between her and this new emperor..." She Jingxi muttered to herself.

"Ahem, the Empress Dowager summoned me here because..."

"Oh, this? After you completely cured Xirou, she couldn't stop talking about your medical skills and kept asking me to let her learn from you, so that's why I invited you over!"

"I see. I have no objection and am willing to share all my knowledge! However, this requires taking Madam Shen to the Imperial Hospital to identify some medicinal herbs!" Chen Xuan looked at Shen Xirou, a smile flashing in his eyes.

Shen Xirou's face flushed instantly, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

Chen Xuan's words seemed reasonable at first glance, but how could someone with her experience not understand what he meant? This was a complete sharing of his knowledge! A complete sharing of his knowledge, all directed at her alone!

This means that a large amount of medical knowledge will flood into your body, and you will have to digest it all by yourself!

"Well then, you can all go to the Imperial Hospital together later! Xirou, you go wait outside first, I have something to discuss with Physician Chen."

"Yes!" Shen Xirou looked at the two of them strangely and went out with some doubt.

"Is there anything else, Your Majesty?" Chen Xuan was a little anxious. The anger Zhu Zhu had caused him had not yet subsided. He had finally managed to take Shen Xirou away, and he was already on the verge of losing his composure. Now the Empress Dowager had something else for him to do!

"You seem to be in a hurry? Are you perhaps eager to teach Xirou medicine?"

"No, no, for me, Your Majesty's request is the most important."

"Hmph, at least you know how to talk!"

Chen Xuan remained silent, awaiting the Empress Dowager's instructions.
