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

"Hmm, um... regarding my health, does the imperial physician have any thoughts?"

Chen Xuan: "??????"

"Your Majesty, I do not understand your meaning!" Chen Xuan quickly replied.

No, can't you speak properly?

"It's this weakness of mine!" She Jingxi frowned. This Chen Xuan really knows how to put on an act!

"Oh, so that's what Your Majesty is referring to. Regarding your weakness, I still need to examine you... to know the specifics!"

"First, does it really have to be this way?" She Jingxi clenched her hands, her expression becoming unnatural.

"Yes, I have no other choice but to do so!"

"Okay, I understand. I'll think about it some more!"

"Actually, it's nothing. Madam Shen gritted her teeth and accepted my treatment from the beginning, and now, the hidden injuries that have troubled her for many years have all healed, haven't they?"

She Jingxi was still somewhat hesitant. After all, Chen Xuan wanted her to be completely honest with him before he could offer a solution to the problem, but she couldn't get past that hurdle...

Chen Xuan chuckled inwardly as he watched She Jingxi's hesitant expression.

"Your Majesty, you really don't need to worry. I'm just giving you a check-up; I have absolutely no other intentions," Chen Xuan continued.

"Then, can you guarantee that?" She Jingxi looked up, her ears turning slightly red.

She really, really didn't want to experience that feeling of weakness again!

Chen Xuan nodded solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, I guarantee that there will be no improper conduct; it is merely a simple inspection."

After hesitating for a long time, She Jingxi finally nodded. She took a deep breath and then closed her eyes.

He's going to die sooner or later anyway, so a dead man seeing this... doesn't count!

Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled slightly, stepped forward, and looking at her soft, boneless waist and curvaceous figure, he swept the beautiful empress dowager into his arms.

All I can say is that this snake spirit truly lives up to her name; even after transforming into human form, she still feels cool and refreshing when held in one's arms.

In an instant, Chen Xuan's mind wandered.

"What are you doing?"

"Of course, I'll bring Your Majesty to bed! Otherwise, how can I... cough cough!"

She Jingxi was stunned when Chen Xuan picked her up. She never expected Chen Xuan to pick her up like that! If she had known, she would have just walked over herself!

But now that the die is cast, she has no choice but to let Chen Xuan have his way.

However, Chen Xuan quickly put She Jingxi down, and then he reached out and gently pulled down her clothes, revealing her fair and jade-like skin.

She Jingxi lay quietly on the bed as Chen Xuan carefully examined her.

However, Empress Dowager She's skin was as smooth as if she were a newborn, even more delicate than that of the young girl Zhu Zhu, which surprised Chen Xuan.

However, what Chen Xuan didn't know was that this was exactly how She Jingxi looked right after she shed her skin, naturally like a newborn.

"Your Majesty, your skin is truly like jade; no wonder you are so radiant," Chen Xuan couldn't help but praise.

She Jingxi's face began to flush, and her eyes sparkled.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan's heart began to race. He tried his best to control his emotions and continued to treat She Jingxi.

However, the moment his fingers touched She Jingxi's skin, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

The same was true for She Jingxi. Feeling Chen Xuan examining her, her face flushed slightly and her breathing became a little rapid.

……

Chen Xuan packed up his medicine box, bowed to She Jingxi and took his leave: "Your Majesty, I have completed the examination and have some ideas. The treatment plan is acupuncture combined with medicine. You only need to follow the prescription and you will surely recover your health."

"Do I still need acupuncture?" She Jingxi suddenly felt a little dizzy.

"That's natural; acupuncture is the main treatment."

She Jingxi nodded in return, "Then I'll have to trouble Physician Chen."

"Such a trivial matter, why bother with it!"

"If Your Majesty is alright, I will return to prepare the medicine, and treatment will begin tomorrow!"

"Go ahead, go ahead!" She Jingxi waved her hand.

Chen Xuan didn't linger. At this moment, he was about to go completely insane. Since he couldn't ask the Empress Dowager to stop him, he could only ask others to stop him.

After watching Chen Xuan leave, She Jingxi instantly shut herself under the covers, lost in thought.

Afterwards, Chen Xuan and Shen Xirou went to the Imperial Hospital together.

"Um... what did the Empress Dowager say to you?" Shen Xirou followed behind Chen Xuan, thinking it over and over, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing. She has some minor health issues herself, so I examined her for a bit," Chen Xuan said with a slight smile.

"Ah? Senior...is she alright?"

"Senior? It seems that Xiao Xirou is hiding something from your husband! It seems I'll have to give you a good interrogation!"

"Oh, my husband, please don't do this! I'll tell you everything, okay?"

"Hehe, you have no choice! It's a good opportunity for you to learn some medical skills from me, which might be of some help to the Empress Dowager!"

"You bad guy~"

Upon arriving at the Imperial Medical Academy, Chen Xuan led Shen Xirou to a secret room, into the Blue Star Secret Realm, to Bi Xiao's small wooden house, where he began to teach her medical skills. He tried his best to explain the complex medical knowledge to Shen Xirou in the simplest language possible.

During this time, Shen Xirou also told Chen Xuan everything she knew.

After all, she and Chen Xuan are now much closer; they are husband and wife, and shouldn't have any secrets.

"You mean, the Empress Dowager is... from the Upper Realm, specifically to oversee this Chen Dynasty?" Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback. He knew this Empress Dowager was not simple, but he didn't expect her to be this extraordinary!

It seems he needs to reassess the Empress Dowager's capabilities. After all, someone capable of holding a supervisory position is certainly no ordinary person!

"No, that's right. However, during this time, I got along quite well with Senior She. We had a very good relationship. When the Zhang family from the Upper Realm came to exterminate us, she saved my life. Otherwise, with my status, I would have had no chance of surviving!"

"So that's it."

"Later, my heart died, and I hid in the inner palace, unwilling to see anyone again, until... until I met you, my husband!"

Why would people from the upper realm be wiped out?

"Not yet, not yet direct descendants of the Chen family. Most of them possess a bloodline divine skill called 'Eye of Flaws,' making them virtually invincible within their realm. The Zhang family is worried that one day someone from the Chen family will grow up and they will directly exterminate the clan."
